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).
Cat care experience
Gillian also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

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 looked after our 2 girls for a week whilst we were in Germany and she done an absolutely amazing job! Daily updates/photos, kept the house clean even though she didn't have to and followed instructions thoroughly as one of our girls has high demands. Cannot recommend her enough - we've found an absolute diamond!
Fabulous every single time I book
Could not have asked for more. Felt entirely comfortable and happy with Gillian looking after our dog whilst we were away at a wedding! 10/10 ⭐️
Amazing service as always! One of the cats was sick after being fed but I wouldn't have known - Gillian cleaned up the mess and also cleaned the food bowls for extra measure.
Gillian is always amazing! We trust her completely and the dogs love her and we always appreciate the photos she sends
We can’t sing Gillian’s praises enough. She’s the top cat/dog sitter in our area and for good reason. She’s gone above and beyond while looking after our two cats, going to such great and selfless lengths that we never expected. It was our first time using this service, and Gillian has won our trust completely.

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.

- 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.
