About Local Leash

A little more ease for you. A lot more familiarity for them.

Hi, I’m Yasmine,  the person behind Local Leash. I’ve always had a real love for dogs. Growing up, I had a chocolate Labrador who was a very special part of our family, and my love for dogs has continued ever since. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped family and friends with their dogs, from taking them on walks to looking after them and making sure they’re happy, comfortable and well cared for. Alongside Local Leash, I also work in the NHS as a Senior MSK Clinician, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life.  I wanted to create a service where dog owners can feel confident knowing their dogs are in safe and loving hands. I understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routine and needs. My aim is to get to know each dog individually and give them the attention, care and companionship they deserve.

Care shaped by the places pets know.

Working as an MSK Clinician in the NHS has shown me the value of thoughtful, individual care and the comfort that comes from being truly listened to. I bring that same steady, attentive approach to every Local Leash visit.

Outside of work, I am happiest outdoors — running, swimming, and spending time in the fresh air. I have recently completed several half marathons and am also learning to play the piano. That appreciation for routine, movement, and calm carries through into the thoughtful way I care for every pet.

Our approach

Thoughtful from the first hello.

01

We start by listening

A meet-and-greet is time to learn the routines, preferences, and practical details that make care feel familiar.

02

We keep it considered

Walks and visits are guided by your pet’s temperament, energy, and everyday rhythm — not a rushed checklist.

03

We keep you close

Gentle, useful updates help you feel connected while they are being cared for at home or out and about.

What matters here

Trust is built in the small details.

Familiarity

The details your pet already loves are the details worth protecting.

Dependability

Clear plans, careful notes, and care you can feel confident arranging.

Local knowledge

A considered service for Chichester and West Sussex pets and their people.

A calm start for everyone.

Before any walk or visit, we make space for a relaxed introduction. It is a chance to talk through what your pet needs and see whether Local Leash feels like the right fit.
