Highlights
Pet care experience
Retriever human
Dogs have been part of my life from the moment I was born. My dad had long kept furry little companions, with our wee Schnauzer, Jack, already kicking about when I rocked up. We became fast friends, with me deciding the ripe old age of 2 was the time for our first adventure. So I set off out the front door, my hand on Jack's collar & we set off on an adventure, sauntering home a few hours later to complete carnage with no idea why. Since then, we had 2 Springers (Bill & Ben) & my best friend growing up, our Weimaraner, Penny, who continued the tradition set by me & Jack of vanishing for hours at a time on our adventures, though then old enough that it was no longer the cause of search parties. I love walking & would love to take your pups along on my adventures.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a communal fenced garden, with me staying on the ground floor, so easy access for all pups, regardless of age. I am a 2-minute walk to Alexandra park, so there are plenty of places for your pets to run free, including a closed off football pitch where they can run about without worrying about other dogs bothering them. I am more than happy to travel to you for walks, so not a problem if you are unable to drop off. Any walking with pets from other homes would be preceded by a meeting between all involved to make sure everyone gets along before agreeing walks.
Ratings and reviews
Couldn’t be happier with Grant! Before his first walk with our dog, Rex, he took the time to meet with us in his own time to make sure we and Rex were comfortable, which we really appreciated. Rex can be a little reactive at times but Grant handled him perfectly. It was clear from the start he was confident, experienced and understood how to manage him in a calm positive way. After the walk we were updated with photos and how it went which gives us a piece of mind. We would highly recommend Grant to anyone looking for a caring, professional dog walker!
Grant is just naturally great with dogs, My dog is back happy content and tired out, fast response to arrange walk, did meet and greet before hand and sent lots of pictures of his walk. Would highly recommend!
Grant was great with my boy even though my boy can be a pulling pain in the backside, grant was great kept me up to date on the boys visits thanks again Grant
Would highly recommend Grant. He arranged meet and greet before walking my dog and provided regular updates and photos. My pup looked like he was having loads of fun in the photos. Grant’s also very quick to reply to queries. Would 100% rebook.
I was very nervous about trusting someone with my dog that she doesn’t know as she takes time to get used to a person. Grant has shown great professionalism and patience in these last few weeks. Harley loves going out walks and has shown signs she trusts Grant. I could not have asked for a better person for the job. Definitely landed on my feet. Extremely happy and puts my mind as ease! Delighted! Would recommend Grant no questions asked!
We contacted Grant very last minute to help us with our dog Thor, due to a family hospital stay. He responded promptly and was able to help us the next day. It really has been such a massive help and eases our worries about being able to give him the walks he needs. Thor instantly took to Grant and always returns so happy and gets to meet other dogs and socialise. We would highly recommend Grant for your dogs needs, he is friendly, responsive and reliable. We even get lovely pictures of our boy enjoying his walks 🐻❄️

Schedule
I work from home, part-time. I am completely flexible & can give all the love & attention throughout the day. I chose to go part-time to allow me more freedom to expand my dog walking business, with the intention that I can start looking after all your wee pals full-time as soon as possible.
