Pet care experience
I have a great relationship with all animals especially dogs and cats. I’ve worked for the RSPCA as an animal foster carer - rearing and rehoming - and for Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary as a trained and registered dog walker. I’m especially skilled and experienced with stronger dogs who can be a challenge on the lead, and dogs with behavioural issues or who have endured a difficult start to their lives. I choose to offer specialist one-on-one care for your pet, and do not mix any other dogs into walks or sittings. My experience with rescues has left me wanting to operate in this way, to offer 100% attention to your pet during our time together. I have helped friends rear their rescue dogs from puppies and walked a diverse range of backgrounds, sizes, breeds and ages. I very much enjoy getting to know pets, their individual traits, and what makes them happy. Giving animals the attention they need is a hugely rewarding thing to do.
Reviews
George is excellent. Always on time and really friendly. He’s been ace with Cheddar and made a real friend. He’s attentive to the dog and takes good care of him. We will have no hesitation to recommend him and will be using him again.
Big thanks to George for watching after our two doggies. He did such an amazing job with them! One of our dogs is very anxious and usually takes time to get used to new people. However, George won them both over very quickly and they loved him in no time at all. George also did a great job taking care of special needs for one of our dogs that requires a specific feeding process. All in all, George is awesome, he's great with animals and I'd strongly recommend him!
Great communication from George, he is very friendly and Pip was a very happy dog. Happy to recommend and will rebook.
George was great with Indie. As a recent rescue she can be very anxious and a handful to walk but I had every confidence that George could handle her. She came back exhausted & happy as every dog should! Will be booking George again & would definitely recommend

Safety, trust & environment
I do not currently offer services within my own home as my two rescue cats rule the roost, but am happy to join your pets in their own environment.
Information George R. would like to know about your pet
I like to know in advance any strengths or weaknesses in character or behaviour so I feel like I know the dog a little before I meet them for the first time and we can make the most of our time together.
A typical day
100% care and attention or 0% if they prefer not to be fussed over! I’m a keen runner and cyclist living near Alexandra Park and Chorlton Water Park, so dogs will have plenty of fun exercise, toilet breaks and interesting scenery to explore.

Availability
I combine my pet services with other freelance work so most weeks are different, but I can generally be flexible to suit your own needs.
