Pet care experience

Caring, reliable and experienced

Hi, I’m Cecily, an experienced and reliable dog walker with over 15 years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who prefer a gentle stroll. I’m confident handling multiple breeds and can administer oral medication when needed. Dogs truly are family, and I treat every dog in my care with patience, kindness, and respect. My time with my cream retriever, Sasha, who was a certified therapy dog with Pets As Therapy, showed me firsthand the incredible emotional support and calm companionship dogs bring into our lives. Watching her help children build confidence through reading sessions reinforced my belief that every dog deserves thoughtful, attentive care. Whether your dog needs: • A regular weekday walk • Occasional sitting • Senior support • Extra reassurance and consistency You can trust they’ll be safe, happy, and genuinely cared for with me. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

A perfect first time experience on Rover. Cecily has such a sweet, kind, positive nature. She gelled with Murphy our 10 week old puppy immediately and he was wagging his tail endlessly! Cecily was great to communicate with and send me photos of Murphy throughout her visit. Would definitely book again!

Cecily was wonderful! She was so friendly and responsive. You can tell she clearly loves dogs and I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her! She took the cutest pictures and made sure to update me with everything. I will definitely be using her services again!

CECILY D We are pleased to respond to your request to provide a testimonial for Cecily, who we have known all her life. The first thing to say is that Cecily has grown up with dogs in her family. As a result she is comfortable and relaxed with dogs and has an affinity for them. She is a kind person, something which many dogs will sense and in consequence will respond well to her. Cecily is a naturally happy and positive individual, and will readily take responsibility for dogs in her care. She is self confident with lots of initiative, which will be important when dealing with the unexpected, should such a situation arise. Cecily has had experience of working with dogs to assist children with learning difficulties.

Cecily is great with animals! She instantly befriended my dogs. Her warm and friendly personality makes her very popular among four legged creatures. In addition, she is able to adapt to different types of dogs, and can be calm and soft with more shy dogs. The great outdoors is her natural habitat too. She will make sure your dogs get an excellent walk. Most importantly, Cecily is very responsible and trustworthy - she will ensure that your dogs remain safe at all times. Dogs would be lucky to be walked by Cecily!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritise giving my dogs lots of attention and ensure they have a great amount of exercise and outdoor time each day, as they love to be active. Their food is always nutritious and tailored to their particular health needs. I encourage their friendly nature, as they love to play and spend time greeting other people, as well as other dogs on walks.

A typical day

When walking I will aim to find a beautiful, green open spaces for your dog to get optimal exercise and enjoy the fresh air. However, I also love a long city stroll on the sidewalk if your dog is less keen on off-roading.
