Dog Walker – Reliable, Active & Dog-Loving
I’m a firefighter with a calm, safety-first approach and real, hands-on dog experience as the owner of a friendly 1-year-old Golden Retriever. I’m used to handling energetic, excitable dogs and making sure walks are fun, structured, and safe. My fire service background means I’m reliable, punctual, and comfortable staying calm in unexpected situations. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritise their wellbeing. I’m happy to walk dogs solo or with my own well-socialised Golden (with a meet & greet first to ensure compatibility). I focus on positive handling, good lead manners, and making sure dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation on every walk.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every dog as part of my family and always prioritise their safety, comfort, and happiness. During walks, I ensure dogs get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and socialisation (solo or in small, compatible groups with my own friendly Golden Retriever after a meet & greet). I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, and any special needs. I carry water, waste bags, and a first aid kit, and I am trained to remain calm in unexpected situations thanks to my background in the fire service. If caring for a pet in their home (drop-ins), I provide companionship, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks while keeping the home secure and tidy. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and safe.

Schedule
I work in the fire service on a 4-on / 4-off schedule. This means I am fully available on my off days, and I plan all dog walks and visits around those days. On my workdays, I am unavailable, but during my off days I can offer morning, lunchtime, and early evening walks. I am happy to walk dogs solo or in small, compatible groups with my own friendly Golden Retriever (after a meet & greet). I always prioritise safety, structured exercise, and lots of fun. Because of my rotating schedule, I can provide reliable, predictable bookings for all off days and can offer recurring weekly slots that fit your dog’s routine.
