George, Carly & Bella

George and Carly are Guest Writers for Smart Bark. Both work in fast-paced corporate environments in London, managing high-pressure roles that leave little room for compromise.

Their testing credentials are built on lived experience. George and Carly understand the specific challenges of balancing full-time careers, active lifestyles, and proper dog ownership. A combination that reveals what actually works versus what just looks good on a website.

Beyond Smart Bark, George and Carly are seasoned travelers who've explored Australia, South America, China, Oman, Morocco, and various European destinations. Both are committed to fitness - Carly is a marathon runner, and gym time is non-negotiable for both. They've also expanded their dog expertise by regularly dog-sitting for others, giving them exposure to different breeds, temperaments, and needs.

Three-year-old Bella, their gorgeous miniature Poodle, is their testing partner and family member. She's been with them since puppyhood and is ready for any adventure.

When they're not testing products or managing their demanding careers, you'll find George and Carly planning their next adventure, training for races, or looking after other people's dogs, all while ensuring Bella gets the attention and adventure she deserves.
