Dog Walking Andover

About: We have over 30 years of experience in having and loving dogs. We have an older dog of our own who is very friendly and loves company on his walks. I am semi retired and have plenty of time to walk and exercise your dog. Our home backs on to a lovely lake and open spaces. Our older dog Ozzie is very laid back and usually curls himself around me on our sofa. Your dog will be treated had part of our family and given a lot of love and attention. If they want to snuggle on the sofa that is absolutely fine with me. My husband will also give your dog an early morning walk if they are partial to that. We have a garden which is fenced off and we also have a dog flap so if I have popped out your dog will not have to wait to be let out for his or her toilet breaks. Our dog is very friendly with other dogs and we will make them feel safe and comfortable in our home from home.

About: Hey, I'm Nicola! Total animal lover and responsible pet sitter.

I'm available primarily for walks, drop-in visits and daycare for your lovely pets.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs - from tiny chihuahuas to great weimaraners! My family have always kept dogs as pets so I have a lot of personal experience. If any one needs a dog sitter (friends, family, neighbours) I am the go to. My regular clients include: 🐾 Pete the Romanian street dog - a senior rescue who I have taken care of since he was just 14 months (he is now 10!). At nearly 30kg, he still thinks he's king of the streets and has some high needs, including lots of play time, long walks and private feeding. A total softie and sweetheart all round. 🐾 Dudley the jackapoo, Lottie the cockapoo, Woody the labradoodle and Rhea the frenchie - these four all live together and have varying needs. Woody being the biggest naturally needs the longest and an extra walk a day, as well as Lottie who is incredibly high energy. She can play fetch until your arm falls off! Dudley is an old man now who needs extra care due to his cataracts and Rhea is a spritely young thing who needs to remain separated from the others at all times. 🐾 Howard the frenchie - Howard is a very laid back and loving frenchie who is now 7. I've known him since he was a pup and although hes not quite an old man yet, his careplan has been adjusted to meet his slowing pace. He still loves playtime but also loves to cuddle up on the sofa and share the bed at night. 🐾 Bella the golden retriever - Bella is another older dog who I've looked after since she was a puppy. The old girl will surprise you though, she's still as active as she was when she was small. I also use to provide care for he little brother Dudley, a black labrador. They use to do everything together, even walks but he sadly passed away. I can currently only provide house sitting on weekends but I can offer walks and drop ins all day, everyday. I hope to offer boarding and day care soon. I have a large garden and my house backs onto ladies walk so plenty of space to run around and lovely countryside for long walks. I have my own small dog (cavapoo), he is friendly but if your dog doesnt like other dogs, I have the means to keep them separated. There is space for a crate if that's what your dog prefers. We usually go for walks morning and evening but this can be adjusted where necessary.

About: I cannot tell you how hard it was to pick photos for a profile page, what dog lover does not have a camera roll just full of photos and videos of their dogs and other people's dogs 😅?! Trying to limit myself was so hard! I've had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old, and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Cocker Spaniels were our family dogs, we had Sadie from a puppy, she was an angel, couldn't have grown up with a better companion. Then we rescued Honey, another Cocker Spaniel, she was also a family dog. My first dog I had as an adult and on my own, was an Italian Greyhound named Mo. He was my soulmate. The most snooziest of all snoozers. Loved nothing more than being with you wherever you went, cafes, friends houses, pottering round the shops, holidays with you. Wherever you were, he was, finding every opportunity to curl up on your lap and take ANOTHER nap. Mo had digestive medical issues so I've had plenty of experience in special diets, and medication control. I will only ever follow your routine. After Mo, I rescued a little Spanish Terrier called Pippin. We also thought he actually had Italian Greyhound in him too, he had these long skinny legs and a little nipped in waist. He had his terrier side to him for sure, but he had all the personality and funny character traits of a Greyhound, running round like a mad goose then crashing 5 minutes later on your lap, fast asleep. Pippin was rescued from a charity, where he was previously a stray, so I had no history on what he was like, or where he had come from. I sought help from a number of professional trainers to help me understand what being a best friend to a rescue dog looks like. Sadly Mo and Pippin are no longer with me, so there will be no resident dog here. This does mean that I can give all my love and attention to your gorgeous four paws, and I can't wait to open my arms to them. I'm really lucky enough to have friends and family who also have dogs, so they are always welcome round mine whenever they need a little holiday retreat of their own. Surrounding myself with dogs is truly my most favourite time of the day. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to spend the day with your bestest furry angels. My work is also portable too, so if needed to board at your home then I can bring my work with me. I am available during the week, and most weekends. I have a 100ft long garden that has 6ft fences all around. Plenty of space for sniffs, sprints and zoomies. Your dog/s are welcome to the whole house, no where is off limits (I'd LOVE some sofa and bed cuddles)!

“Perfect. Happy dog, she settled in very quickly! X”

About: Both my partner and I have owned and cared for dogs and cats since we were kids. Always dog sit for family and friends. Go for frequent walks in the countryside and have our own vehicle to transport dogs to and from walks with business insurance. I bathe and feed my mother’s dogs regularly and walk them with my partner around the fields of our home. I work full time mostly from home with the occasional in person meeting and off on weekends so am free around these times for anything needed. I am not normally gone for more than 4 hours however if it is longer my partner also sometimes works from home so with enough notice he can be there If your dog is house trained I can care for them at my home however I can also care for your loved pets in their own home and am able to collect from their home and take them for walks or drop in to feed and play with them for a few hours where needed. I am also able to stay overnight if required.

About: Hi, my name is Taeya, I am a student of ecology and wildlife conservation at the University of Reading. I have always loved and cared for animals, whether they are pets or wild ones. Having family pets has meant I have developed a great attention for what our furry friends need for a happy and healthy life. I have lived in the countryside most of my life, and I love spending time outdoors, on walks and explorations. Previous jobs, such as dog/cat/house sitting, early years education, and caring for older adults, have enabled me to develop excellent communication skills and an ease in dealing with messes and cleaning. I can be adaptable to all family needs, being a fast learner, I can quickly pick up skills or practices. Working with animals is always a joy, understanding the wonderful and different characters of all pets. I can provide private work references on request. I am a final year university student living at home with my family. I commute to and from Reading a few days a week in term time and study remotely otherwise. My schedule is very flexible and ever-changing. I have a good size fenced garden in the countryside, with 2 small and friendly dogs that are good company. Walks in the area can span from 30 minutes to 4 hours and more. There is also a dog walking park near where I live so that’s a great place to go if dogs need some time off the lead but also in a safe environment.

“Jackie was very reliable for the dog walk we booked. Communication was excellent and she is very passionate about what she does. Highly recommend”

About: I am currently a University student so am based in Gloucester September - December and Andover June -September and mid December to January!! Am able to be very flexible, can accept sits as soon as 12 hours before and cancellations the same, very happy to work with any and all routines and have experience with disabled, anxious and “difficult” animals and am more than happy to work around whatever makes them comfortable. I have always loved animals and have been surrounded buy them from a young age. we had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, tortoises and a hedgehog! i have been working and studying with animals for about 8/9 years now and am currently studying Clinical Animal Behavior and Training at University. I honestly love doing rover work while studying as not only does it mean I have a lovely quiet place to study but going out on walks means I get out and about in study breaks which is so important for productivity and mental health. I am currently open for the summer bookings from June to September I will be operating mainly in the south west as I will be based in Andover in Hampshire though could travel further for a long stay. i am currently a student studying animal behavior at university, this means my schedule is quite open, having a full day of lectures on a Tuesday and 2-3 hours on Monday and Thursday. I can essentially learn online and do all of my work from a kitchen table which is perfect for looking after pets. I'm afraid I cannot offer boarding as I live in student accommodation and I wouldn't like to put any dog in a potentially stressful environment! When I'm sitting at the house I will never leave the house for longer than your animal is happy with which we can talk about, as I don't have many other responsibilities I will not have any unexpected reasons to leave. I often spend my days at a kitchen table on a sofa with a dog bed next to me, this way you'll pet can feel that they can come as close or stay as far away as they like! I love a good cuddle but will respect personal space if they prefer. Often first morning/day I try to keep myself "small" so that your animal can investigate me in their home properly this often looks as if I'm ignoring your pet as I want them to feel at ease to investigate me as much as they want and get comfortable with me without me forcing myself into their space. I never, ever mingle any animals be them dogs, cats or hamsters(!) that have not previously met for safety reasons.

“Jaco is a lovely person, polite friendly and extremely Helpful. Has a fantastic knowledge about dogs. Always notify me on who the walk went. Which is always nice to know all went well. I would highly recommend him as your dog walker. My dog is very dog reactive and unpredictable. And I trust Jaco can deal with him.”

About: Hello there, I’m Anne and based in Wiltshire (a little town called Ludgershall). I have been petsitting from the age of 15, at the time it used to be one of these jobs you would do to get a little money as a student. However, now it has indeed become more of a serious job and I’m actually glad it has ! This is why I’m currently working on my DWSA Certificate w/ the British College of Canine Studies which would include first aid training. I grew up in South America, I’m originally more of an exotic animal kind of person but after moving to Europe at the age of 16, I found myself loving all animals! I have worked for different charities in different countries like the Brigitte Bardot Foundation and when I was 20, I also worked against the illegal animal trade until my departure to England in 2016. During this time, I rescued most of my pets and filled my family and friends with the animals they still have today.   I am now over 30 years old and have had probably all sorts of animals under my care and continue my route looking after them accompanied by my young daughter as I wish her to grow surrounded by animals like I did so she can learn the compassion and respect all beings deserve. We’re a quiet family living in the quiet country side and my husband and mum love to participate in the care of any of our protégés too, we’re even thinking of making it a family business in the future ! We own a chihuahua and a staffy as well as smaller enclosed pets, live in a 3 beds house with a fairly large garden. Unfortunately, my old chihuahua has developed some heart issues last year so we’re not taking in medium/large breeds home anymore but are still able to accommodate smaller dogs or others animals. I’m also always happy to walk/visit/petsit when people get the trust to leave me with their pets/homes. Anne I am home most of the time but when I’m not my husband or mum is. I work with my chihuahua and our staffy stays at home, they both go on at least 1 hour walk a day & have always access to our garden. Everything is organised around the pets as we have always had pets. If I have to stay at someone's place to pet-sit, my husband takes over with our own pets but we do always work as a team. My home has always been safe for kids and animals as I've always had pets and one of my dog is very small. We have a large enclosed garden and a lot of green areas around the house. I do prefer going to the pets' homes when possible as this way, I know the animal is less confused with a new home and strangers.
