aboutus
My name is Eleanor, and animals play a huge role in my life. I've been walking dogs for others since a very young age, and thanks to the trust and opportunities given to me by dog owners throughout my life my levels of experience and responsibilities with dogs have risen to a passionate high.
​
After attending Plumpton Agricultural College I enrolled at Brighton University to study Animal Science; a course that involves the biological, behavioural and ethical aspects of animals. Since graduating I also studied a further course in Ecology. Both degrees have taught me invaluable lessons to my fields of interest such as dogs and their behaviour.
​
Alongside Bourne To Walk, I am also a voluntary dog walker for The Cinnamon Trust - a charity that helps the ill and elderly look after their pets when they find it hard - a role I find inspirational and satisfying. If you are looking for a dog walker due to terminal ill health, The Cinnamon Trust may be able to help you and your pet, as you will be under their wing forever once registered.
​
Aside from animals and education, I have also been a dancer since 1998, worked part time as an assistant tennis coach, and started my career working with animals at Blackberry Farm in Whitesmith from 2007.
