Our team

Hi there I'm Jeanette Rouse (known by my friends as 'Jen').  I have started Totally Barking Pet Services as I have been walking dogs professionally now since January 2011 and decided it was time to branch out on my own.  In the 5 years I have been doing this job I have loved every minute of it and feel like It is the profession I am meant to do. Every day is different to the last and makes me love dogs even more.

Ok here's a little about me - I live in Leigh-on-Sea with my Husband.  We have a Miniature smooth haired Black and Tan dachshund called Missy and last year in July we adopted our second dog from Romania called Kissie, she is a standard Wire Haired Dachshund cross (we're not sure what with but think there maybe patterdale included in the mix).  I would love more dogs but think I may have to stick at 2 for now!  I adore all dogs but have a special love for dachshunds and have done a fair amount of research into the breed so would like to think that they are my speciality.

As you can see from my picture one of my main hobbies is Running and I have started going to races now, this picture was taken just after I completed the Great North Run in 2015!  I also hope to compete in the London Marathon one year. 

Hi there I'm Lorraine Baker.  I started working with Totally Barking in September 2019. I'm based in Rayleigh. I have always loved animals but dogs are a special species. Our family always took on foster dogs and over the years we were lucky to have helped around seven. Currently I have 2 Westie’s  and a naughty terrier cross called Freddy. Everyone knows him!!!!!  It’s a privilege to walk other people’s dogs and I enjoy going to work everyday.

Hi there I'm Kath Sakarya, I started working with  Totally Barking in February 2020. I'm based in a Stanford Le Hope.  I've always felt close to animals ever since I was a small child.  I was always rescuing birds that the neighbours cat had tried to catch or an ailing toad from a field!  I have a dog of my own called Jovi who is a miniature Schnauzer.  He has a number of health problems but he is a little trouper who steals everyones heart and I wouldn't change him for the world.  Dog walking for me is a pleasure and I look forward to going to work everyday with my little gang of dogs.
