Tara Lynch is the founder of Dogs In Motion.
Dogs In Motion is a small business which offers many different pet services. Tara came up with the idea of Dogs In Motion towards the end of lockdown when she couldn’t find work anywhere, so decided to make her own work and started her entrepreneurial journey.
Dogs In Motion grew to become one of the top three pet services in the area! She ran this business alone, so was up early every morning working out her schedule for that day, going around and picking up dogs for day care, walks, doing training sessions and pet pop-ins.
Tara then also had to dedicate time in the evenings and weekends to do all the admin work, so it was a lot, but she wouldn’t change it for the world! After recently relocating to Norwich to be with her partner, Dogs In Motion has had to go on hold, but hopefully with the opportunity of the GBEA, it could be up and running sooner than she thought!
