From the farm to a growing business: 23-year-old Lincolnshire farmer builds her own pet services business
“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me so far, recommended my business and trusted me with their much-loved pets”
A 23-year-old Lincolnshire farmer is proving that hard work, determination and a love of animals can go a long way after turning her passion into a growing local business.
My name is Rhianna Peck, I’m 23 years old and the owner of Pecks Pet Services, a dog walking and pet care business based around Wainfleet, Skegness and the surrounding Lincolnshire villages.
Alongside running my own business, I’m also a farmer, working within my family’s farming life, looking after livestock and helping with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with farming.
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. After gaining experience working in doggy daycare for several years, I decided to take a leap of faith and start my own business in March 2026.
What started as a passion has quickly grown into something I’m incredibly proud of. I’ve worked hard to build up a regular customer base and have now taken the step into running Pecks Pet Services full-time.
I wanted to offer something a little different from the usual dog walking services. Rather than simply taking dogs along public footpaths and busy pavements, I offer secure farmland walks, giving dogs the opportunity to enjoy open countryside in a safe and controlled environment.
I offer both group and private walks, with a collection and drop-off service using my own professionally signed van, with individual crated transport for the dogs.
One of the things I’m particularly passionate about is making sure every dog gets the experience that’s right for them. Whether they’re confident and sociable, nervous, anxious or need a little extra space away from other dogs, I aim to provide a service that suits their individual needs.
Starting a business at 23 hasn’t always been easy. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes, from organising daily routes and managing clients to running the business finances and making sure every dog receives the best possible care.
But seeing how far Pecks Pet Services has come in such a short space of time makes every bit of hard work worthwhile.
Being involved in farming has also given me a real appreciation for the countryside and the importance of animal welfare, something I carry into every part of my business.
My ambition is to continue growing Pecks Pet Services, reach more local dog owners and hopefully build something that I’m proud to call my own for many years to come.
I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me so far, recommended my business and trusted me with their much-loved pets.
Pecks Pet Services is proof that sometimes taking a chance on yourself can be the start of something really special.
I also have my own business van which I have crated and had signed. So your dogs travel safely to and from the farmland.
