This walk offers a gentle space to pause, share treasured memories, and connect with others who understand the special bond we share with our animal companions.
Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, you’ll be warmly welcomed.
Bring a photo, share a memory, or simply walk with us in loving remembrance. It’s a day to celebrate their unconditional love, cherish the joy they brought into our lives, and find comfort in a community that understands.
All are welcome – whether you’re remembering a pet or supporting friends who are.
At Paws Over The Rainbow we understand how life changing losing a pet can be. It can be a very isolating experience and it is normal for families to struggle with the grief. We would therefore like to offer families an opportunity to meet likeminded people for a memorial walk in local beautiful nature.
Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you have needed our help in the past or you have not met us before. Please feel welcome to bring family and friends.
The walk will be about 30 minutes at a pace to accommodate everyone. Friendly calm dogs are welcome to join the walk. Please wear weather appropriate foot wear and clothes.
The lovely Amy and Peta will be on hand to make sure everyone feels welcome and will lead the walk. They are both experienced qualified veterinary nurses with a passion for end-of-life care and an understanding of the grief caused by losing a pet. This understanding comes from their work supporting families in practice but as importantly from being pet owners themselves and knowing how it feels to lose a furry family member.
Please meet Amy, facilitator of our memorial walks:
Amy has loved animals since childhood and knew early on she wanted to become a veterinary nurse. Before qualifying, she worked in equine rehab, bred alpacas, and even grew mushrooms in France!
In clinical practice Amy discovered her passion for end?of?life care, supporting families through some of their hardest moments. She is also the moderator of our closed family support group and is currently training to become a Pet Bereavement Counsellor with the Blue Cross.
In her spare time, Amy enjoys walking her two rescue dogs and getting creative with crafting.
We’re so grateful for all the empathy and warmth she brings to the families she supports.
Please meet Peta, facilitator of our memorial walks:
Peta celebrates her 20th anniversary as a qualified veterinary nurse this year – an incredible milestone.
Over the years she has developed a real passion for supporting senior patients. Peta is also a qualified hydrotherapist and holds a certificate in Animal Behaviour. More recently, she played a pivotal role in setting up a dedicated bereavement room at her current practice to offer families a more peaceful and private experience when having to say goodbye to their pets at the vets.
Peta’s furry family currently consist of a bunch of guinea pigs, a 1 year old Cockador, a 1.5 year old Cocker Spaniel, and her lovely horse Monty.
