Wharton's Walkies Pet Care and Walking
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Gemma Wharton, an experienced dog walking, and excellent pet care business that’s here for your animal’s needs. I have grown up with all different types of animals gaining experience and knowledge and love towards them all. I have owned cats, rabbits, and Guinea pigs and have bred them all having baby pups, bunnies & kittens. We also had a small dog, a hamster, and a horse growing up so you can imagine animals were very much a part of my life. Currently, me and my partner own a beautiful black short-haired cat called Moomin who we rescued from the cat protection program. I have experience walking all dogs whether it’s puppies or OADs (Old age dogs) on and off lead. I own a van that is crated so I can transport your dogs anywhere for their one-to-one walk where your dog will get the utmost undivided attention, I can also provide group walks for your dogs if you want them to play and interact with others (These are a max 5 dog basis). I can also provide vet transportation, but you might have to contact me directly. I also have experience with walking reactive and nervous dogs, training them to be able more sociable. I have extensive knowledge of Eastleigh and the surrounding areas so I know all the great spots where your dog can run freely and have some fun whilst out on their walk. I own some play toys so they can use these, and they may also get a treat. If there are any places that you like your dog walked, then I can take this into consideration. I provide towels and will give them a wipe-down if they're mucky pups after their walks. If you require an overnight boarding or check–in service, then I can provide you with an overnight stay at your house making sure that your dog is looked after and kept safe whilst you’re not around. With overnight boarding your dog will be walked twice a day for a 1-hour walk meaning they will get plenty of time out, so you don’t need to worry. If it’s just a 30min – 1 hour check–in then I can come over to feed, play with your dog and let your them out for a wee. If you have special requirements whether it's walking or boarding, then please let me know. I can’t wait to meet your canine friends.

About Gemma W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If it's a dog walk/ check-ins I provide dog poo bags or cleaning out any litter trays, water on hand, a first aid kit, treats, dog toys, a crated-out van for safety, and towels. Once I have dropped your dog off I will make sure their water bowl is topped up and there settled before leaving with plenty of cuddles. Pet Sitting I will stay at your home and these arrangements will be discussed in a Meet and Greet.
Information Gemma W. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know if the dog has any behavioural issues I need to be aware off. If the dogs is not great around other dogs or people, whether it needs to stay on or off lead and possibly any allergies or any foods they can't have. Any other animals will be simular information but we can talk about it beforehand.
A typical day
There will be plenty of games and fun on the walks. I love to keep them active and engaged, practise recall, meet other dogs to get them interacting and play some mind games.
Services
Gemma can watch in your home
Availability
This is my full-time job and as such I am usually available at fairly short notice. I normally organize dog walking on a weekly basis and any pet sitting ideally a month ahead to be able to fit it in. Let me know your availability and I can work around your requirements if possible.
