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.

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.

Information Gillian T. would like to know about your pet

Whether your pet is young, old, nervous, or reactive, I’m here to help. I tailor my care to meet the unique needs of every pet and owner, making sure they feel comfortable, supported, and at ease throughout—even if that means we take things at their pace, follow their rules, or I spend the first few minutes being quietly judged from a safe distance.

A typical day

I like to make every day an adventure for your pet. They’ll enjoy fun, enriching experiences that keep them happy, healthy, and suitably entertained. Whether it’s a warm lap and a cuddle, their favourite local walk, a trip to the beach, or a trek through the woods, every outing and visit is designed around them—usually involving sniffing, exploring, and me being confidently led in the wrong direction at least once or being guided to the treat cupboard.

Pet care experience

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).

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!
