MEET MOTHER ARK
Being brought up in an Agricultural and Equestrian environment from a very young age, it goes without saying that I have a huge passion, experience and love for animals.
After having my first pony I soon got the Equine bug (my mum is to blame for this) which led to running the family Equestrian Centre for many years. Competing, training and teaching soon became my life and I loved it.
Amongst my horse passion, I have also been a collector of animals, much to my parent's annoyance. I was renowned for bringing home various stray pets and acquiring new ones, such as Ferrets, Dogs, Cats, Goats, Sheep, pigs and anything that caught my eye! I soon got a name for myself and was the first call for local farmers who needed a surrogate mum for their livestock.
I'm now a proud owner of a scruffy mutt, two cats and two geriatric horses, and I also have a social media management business. So if you need a hand with your Social Media as well as your pets let me know!
This is just a snippet of my background, if you would like to learn more about my services and experience, get on the dog and bone for a chat or please click the button below to request a Services and Price List.

"Rachael recently looked after my 2 horses at very short notice and I am so glad she did. From the moment I met her she put me at ease. She is friendly knowledgeable and nothing was to much trouble. She messaged every day just to say everything was OK. Thank you Rachael for taking such good care of my horses.
I would highly recommend Rachael she really cares for your pets and treats them like her own"
Jo Davies - Equine Cover
“Rachael is fabulous! As soon as the first meeting I knew she would take care of my dog. He's a lively 9-month-old pup and I know she ensures he has a fun-filled walk and play. She is also extremely flexible and will help me out at short notice if I need her. I'm so pleased I found her, would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker!”

I was let down an hour and a half before a big family holiday and Rachael immediately came to my aid offering to take care of everything for me, 2 dogs & a cat are being thoroughly spoilt so I can relax!
A stress free company who really do care. Highly recommend!"

"Mother Ark is truly exceptional.
Rachael's commitment and professionalism in dealing with my goats and sheep goes above and beyond. Rachael manages everything from feeding, worming to mucking out and checking on them while I'm away.
I wouldn't use anyone else to look after my animals and I would highly recommend Mother Ark Pet & Equine Services to anyone."

She came to meet my two dogs, got to know them and we went through some forms so she had all the info she needed about them! Rachel is professional, friendly and I trust her completely with my girls, She messages me every time to let me know
how they are... I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
