Private Dog Walks – Just Your Dog(s) & Me!
Hello! Are you looking for reliable, 1-on-1 dog walks or drop-in visits? I’d love to help! Your dog will receive personalized care and attention from me, and sometimes my partner, Zoë, will join in as well. Why Choose Me? 🐾 Solo Walks, Full Attention – No group walks here! Your dog gets my undivided focus, ensuring a stress-free experience. 🐾 Experienced with All Breeds & Temperaments – I’ve grown up with dogs (mainly black Labradors) and have cared for many different breeds over the years. I understand how to handle everything from playful, high-energy dogs to those who need a little extra patience and care. 🐾 Trusted by Animal Charities – I’m registered with The Cinnamon Trust (helping elderly/terminally ill pet owners) and Pro Dogs Direct, a rescue that rehomes dogs in need. So far, we’ve fostered 14 dogs, including: • Chorkie • Goldendoodle • Maltipoo • Miniature Poodle • 2 Toy Poodles • 2 Labradoodles • 6 Cockapoos 🐾 Flexible Scheduling – Since I work from home a lot, I can offer walks and visits at 7-8 AM, 12-2 PM, and 6-8 PM on weekdays. 🐾 Local Knowledge – We regularly walk in nearby parks and know many of the neighborhood dogs, so I can make sure your dog has the best experience, whether they love to socialize or prefer quiet, solo adventures. 🐾 Custom Care – I always follow any rules or training you have in place to keep your dog’s routine consistent. Let’s chat about your dog’s needs - send me a message anytime! 🐶✨
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in building trust from the start. Before caring for your dog, we’ll have a meet and greet where I’ll discuss your dog’s behavior, preferences, and routines. This allows me to create a personalized plan to ensure you’re comfortable before entrusting me with your dog. For example, one of the parks I visit has a secure dog field where I can safely let dogs off-leash to run and play with others. For dogs that are already familiar with me, I use this opportunity to practice recall and observe how they respond to distractions. For all new dogs, however, I prioritize safety and do not let them off-leash until I’m confident in their recall and behavior. As you can see from my reviews, I truly enjoy having dogs around. They get spoiled with attention and care, making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable throughout their time with me!
Ratings and reviews
Poppy came home happy and sleepy. Thanks for walking her at such short notice and for having the patience for our stubborn greyhound 💕
Ben is such a lovely man wolfie really enjoys his walks and it's so nice to hear what he got up to and see photos
Ben has been fantastic with our two large greyhounds. They are always happy after a walk with him. He’s very responsive to messages and sends lots of pictures from the walk. We can highly recommend him!
Amazing, dependable and attentive. My cats love his visits
Ben was very punctual, Luna came back happy and tired! He left a detailed update on how the walk went, with pictures! Prior to the walk, Ben met Luna, this was great as it made us feel comfortable and confident she is in good hands. Thanks Ben!
It"s the 2nd time Ben and Zoe have looked after our dogs. They are brilliant with them. We are updated on how they are and they had a great time. So great to find such a lovely couple to care for our boys. Thank you Ben and Zoe.

Schedule
We go on daily walks and would love a furry companion to join us! I offer walks and drop-in visits at 7-8 AM, 12-2 PM, and 6-8 PM on weekdays, but I’m happy to adjust routines to fit your dog’s needs. If you have specific timing requests, just let me know—I’m sure we can work something out!
