As a full-time teacher, my routine is highly structured, allowing me to offer rock-solid reliability during my free hours. On weekdays, my school day finishes in the mid-afternoon, making me perfectly available for lovely late afternoon and evening walks to break up your dog's day or give you a relaxing evening. My weekends are completely wide open from morning until night, which is when I love taking pups on longer, more adventurous treks. Best of all, during school holidays (half-terms, Easter, Christmas, and the long summer break), my schedule opens up completely, allowing me to offer flexible, full-time daytime care and extra walks exactly when you need them most. My Availability Checklist: - Monday – Friday: Late afternoons and evenings - Saturdays & Sundays: Fully available (mornings, afternoons, and evenings) - School Holidays: Full-time flexibility (Half-terms, Summer, Easter, & Christmas) - Bank Holidays: Fully available for flexible daytime bookings

Safety, trust & environment
Security & Vetting - Fully Insured: I carry comprehensive public liability insurance specifically for dog walking, ensuring complete financial protection and peace of mind for your home and your pet during our time together. - DBS Certified (Update Service): I hold a fully current, official criminal record check registered on the GOV.UK DBS Update Service, allowing you to instantly verify my background at any time for total peace of mind. - Secure Entry: I handle your keys with absolute confidentiality and always double-check that your front door is securely locked and alarms are set both when I leave and when I return. - Gated Transitions: I ensure your dog is securely on their lead before opening your front door to prevent any sudden slips or bolting. Out on the Walk (The Environment) - Secure Equipment: I always use your preferred collar, harness, and lead, checking that all clips are locked and fit snugly before we set off. - Safe Routing: We stick to dog-friendly local parks, quiet pavements, and secure pathways, entirely avoiding busy main roads and unsafe areas. - Vigilant Socialising: I keep a close eye on the environment to anticipate and avoid reactive dogs, off-lead hazards, or traffic, ensuring your dog always feels safe and unstressed. - Weather Awareness: I constantly monitor the British weather, adjusting our walking pace, seeking shade on hot days, or using shorter routes with indoor mental stimulation if it is freezing or pouring rain. "As an educator, I am deeply inspired by the joy of helping others. Bringing my patience, energy, and care out of the classroom and onto the trails to support local families and their beloved dogs is the most rewarding way I can spend my free time." - Vesna

Safe, Joyful Dog Walks
Pet care experience
With nearly 50 years of life experience and a lifelong devotion to dogs, I offer a level of mature, reliable, and deeply intuitive care that only comes with time. My journey as a dedicated pet parent began 37 years ago when I welcomed into my life my American Cocker Spaniel, named Joy, caring for him deeply throughout his beautiful 16-year life. That cherished bond taught me everything about canine companionship, from the playful energy of youth to the gentle, patient care needed in a dog's golden years.Since then, I have been the trusted, go-to caregiver and dog walker for family, friends, and neighbours, looking after dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that your dog is a treasured family member, and I treat them with the exact same love, vigilance, and respect that I gave my own. When your dog is with me, you get total peace of mind knowing they are in safe, highly experienced hands, enjoying walks filled with genuine affection, tailored pacing, and heartfelt companionship. **My Services** - Tailored Solo Walks: One-on-one attention, perfect for anxious, senior, or reactive dogs who prefer their own space. - Fun Group Treks: Carefully selected small groups for social pups who love to play and burn off energy together. - Post-Walk Care: Thorough paw-wiping on rainy English days, fresh water top-ups, and a text update with photos sent straight to you.
Reviews
Vesna is an amazing woman, she’s the best dog walker I’ve found so far! My pup Enzo absolutely adores her. She’s reliable, punctual, great with dogs and always does her very best. I’m so lucky that I’ve found her. Absolutely recommending her services.
Vesna is ever so helpful. I’ve known her for five years now and whenever I need my dog walked, she’s there for me. Her love for dogs is just unbelievable, she makes my dog always feel so cared for, and she always plays so joyfully with her. Whatever I need for my Billy, Vesna will do, and always go an extra mile. Whether it’s rain or shine, Vesna is always ready to take care of Billy - such a great dog walker! I cannot recommend her enough for your doggie’s walks, too! You’ll be 100% satisfied. 🐶
Absolute Peace of Mind and Joy for My Dog! Finding someone you truly trust with your dog can be incredibly stressful, but Vesna has been an absolute godsend. As a teacher, she brings a level of patience, structure, and genuine kindness that shines through the moment she meets your pet. It is so reassuring to know that she is fully insured and on the DBS Update Service, but what truly sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares. She treats my dog like a member of her own family—making sure walks are safe and filled with joy, and meticulously wiping paws and checking water bowls when they get back. My dog absolutely adores her, and getting her thoughtful photo updates completely brightens my day. I cannot recommend Vesna highly enough; she is reliable, professional, and a true blessing to local pet owners!
