Lighty's Waggy Tails is based in the heart of the New Forest.

When I started my business I was very proud to use my family name this is something I have always dreamed of.

As a young girl I loved going to my grandads farm of which he had a small holding, my Grandad taught me to ride bare back on his horses which then took me as a young girl to go horse riding regular.

On his farm there was lots of two and four legged fur friends and being a farm lots of dogs and cats too.

Growing up we always had dogs, rabbits hamster and guineapigs, so my love for animals started a young age.

My second love was the licence trade, I'm a very sociable person and love talking and meeting new people and making life long friends.

My last job was in a brewery which I worked for 20 years, it was my life and loved nothing more but when life takes you a different direction and you have an opportunity to have a change which is where I am today, my new dream my own business looking after animals.

So I  hope my commitment of my past shows you as a loving owner to your pet that you will have full commitment from me and my business.
