About

Hi, I'm Chloe Bowmar - owner of Chloe's Canine Club. I'm 26 years old and friends and family would describe me as a bubbly, animal obsessed, caring person. I love nature and the outdoors, hiking, going to the gym, and going to music gigs. My favourite kind of day is a long hike with friends, their dogs and my beautiful rescue Labrador, Duke, followed by lunch in a nice café or pub. 

From a young age, I have always had an affinity with animals. This has followed me in to my adult life and led me to study a two year Animal Management (OFQUAL) level 3 course to a distinction level. Here I learnt about the care and welfare of different animal species. Following this, I moved in to working with dogs and cats professionally.

I have spent 5 years working as a supervisor in a large, well-respected dog and cat boarding facility, where I have gained even more practical knowledge on pet nutrition, group mixing, social dynamics, canine and feline behaviour, health checks and animal handling just to name a few. I am a very confident handler of dogs and cats, and it has been noted that I am especially good with the nervous or anxious dogs - which may be due to having an anxious rescue myself.

In November 2023, I took a 6 month hiatus from my job to go travelling around South East Asia. Despite my plans of continued exploring, after 4 months I was missing working with animals so much, that I ended up finding a wonderful dog and cat rescue sanctuary, called Happy Tails in Thailand, and decided to spend the last 2 months of my trip volunteering there. This was a life changing experience that really challenged my heart and taught me so much. I was rewarded with meeting the most amazing people and the truly beautiful and inspiring animals who will always have a place in my heart.

On returning to the UK and to my animal care job in May 2024, I felt like I had enough experience, knowledge and passion to move on to starting up my own pet sitting and dog walking business. I initially started doing occasional pet sitting and dog walking alongside my full-time job, to test the waters, and now I am committing to this fully and whole-heartedly. I am DBS checked, canine first aid trained and fully insured with pet plan business insurance. I would like to provide the best care for your beloved animals and make some new best friends! Chloe's Canine Club reflects my values of personalised care, dedication, hard work, and empathy.
