Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog walker, occasional cat servant
I have the pleasure of offering personalised solo and family dog walks tailored to your dog’s individual needs, no matter how oddly specific their quirks may be. I enjoy breaking up their day and taking your old, grumpy or full-of-beans fur family out for an adventure, while they politely pretend not to hear me and immediately investigate my pockets for treats. They will be treated as one of my own, so I apologise in advance if I get attached. They’ll receive plenty of love, patience, and care (and probably a bit of extra chat on the walk… whether they asked for it or not).

Safety, trust & environment
I will do my best to stick to your pet’s established routine, minimise any stress, and help them feel comfortable and settled. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, behaviour, and any other care routines, keeping everything consistent and familiar while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority, whether in the home or out on walks, ensuring a calm and secure environment at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Gillian helped me out super last minute! Easy booking really appreciated
Brilliant all round, thank you very much. Gillian sent me update photos and took Molly on a lovely walk. Would definitely recommend 👌 👍
Gillian is a godsend, she looked after our puppy whilst we were on holiday at a music festival - nothing was too much trouble, not only did she visit and take good care of her, but she went over and above, agreeing to extra visits at the last minute and even turned down the heating when we accidentally left the house a bit too hot for our pup. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
We were very happy to leave Lila in Gillian's care, and really enjoyed receiving her updates, messages, and photos. Gillian quickly understood our rather unpredictable cat and all her personalities, and how to care for her.
Gillian helped us out a lot with a drop in at short notice. The dogs loved her and I’m sure they can’t wait to see her again!
Gillian is absolutely lovely and we are really happy to have found her to look after our two housecats. Our cats are people shy but she won them over easily and we really appreciated that they were played with and cared for the same way we would. The picture updates were brilliant and we wouldnt hesitate to trust her with our much loved cats and dog and our house.

Schedule
I made the leap some time ago to ditch the desk job and become a dog walker (and occasional cat servant). It’s a big decision I wish I’d made years ago. There are no “back to work” blues here—I now spend my days outdoors, staying active, and no longer worrying whether it’s raining or not. I take real pleasure in meeting new people and their pets. Being part of their day, and I get to be part of their excitement and adventures, usually involving treats and negotiations over which route we take out of the front door. For the first time in my life, I have a job that doesn’t feel like work, and I feel extremely lucky to be able to do this.
