Dog Walking Ashford

About: For many years I couldn't have a dog of my own and would jump at any chance I could to spend time with and care for those of friends and family. I finally got my own dog, a Staffordshire bull terrier called Leon, whilst living in Australia - my best friend for many years and a truly special soul. I now have another young staffy, Mars, who is keeping me on my toes! We've worked really hard on his training and have both learnt a lot. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs - from walking and day-care to long-term stays in my and other's homes. However, I am currently only able to provide walking and check-ins. The initial testimonials are all genuine from friends, family and neighbours whose dogs I have previously cared for. I am currently studying from home and dog-walking provides the perfect, flexible option for me to fit work around studies. Around walking my own dog, I am usually available most days and times. As someone who has been very diligent with who has cared for my own dogs, I understand how hard it is to trust someone new with your best friend. With that in mind, I aim to understand as much as needed about animals I care for and communicate well with their owners.

“Charlie is s fantastic dog walker. Reliable and friendly. But most of all my dog loves him. Have only used the local dog walking service but will definitely do an overnight stay when need it. Thanks for everything.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time as I’ve always had a family dog or my friends dogs! I love being around them and walking them. Certainly older dogs as I believe they need a certain kind of care! From new little puppies or big senior dogs, I can look after all! I currently work in the NHS full time and love it. With my time I have off I spend most of it cleaning and cooking or with my fiancé and daughter chilling. I will have the weekend off and I’d love to share the weekend with some furry friends! I could also walk your doggy after work some days - if that is needed. I will make sure that they get all of the love and attention they need. Of course sticking to the schedule of walks or keeping within the routine of eating will be the same and top priority also. Also, safety is key - lead on, lead off up to you but safety is the most crucial point! You can count on my to look after your furry friends!

“Bekki is amazing, she was very reliable and sent us brilliant updates everyday, would definitely use her again and fully recommend her to anyone. Thank you Bekki for making our holiday better because we knew Freddy was being well walked.”

About: As a life long pet owner, I understand how important it is that while your pet is in my care, they feel safe, calm and stress free in your absence - and I want you, the owner, to feel equally as safe and trusting. I offer trustworthy and compassionate care, whatever the needs of your animal friend. I am flexible and I offer accommodating, customisable pet sitting and pet care services to meet the needs of both you and your furry pals. I’m going through a career change, so I have complete flexibility and availability at any time and any day of the week that suits you best I am compassionate and considerate that animals are sentient beings and therefore understand they have a wide variety of personalities. I will always cater towards your animals needs, whether thats leaving them to their own devices because they don’t like attention, or giving them lots of affection because that’s what they like

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years looking after dogs and cats for friends and family. From caring for them for a few days to looking after them for several weeks while their owners are away, I absolutely love having them around and have always received lovely feedback. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I’m also naturally active and enjoy daily walks, so having a four-legged companion join me would be a bonus! Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel happy, safe and completely at home while their owners are away. I’d now love to bring that same care, attention and affection to pets in my local community. 🐾 I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give pets the attention and care they need. I always take a lunchtime walk, usually around 30 minutes to an hour, and I also enjoy a longer walk after work. I’d love to have a dog join me on these walks! I’ve cared for my mum’s dog, Charlie, and her two cats, Milo and Casper, for over two weeks at a time on several separate occasions. During these stays, I was responsible for Charlie’s daily routine, including taking him for at least two walks each day, keeping him company and making sure he was happy and entertained with plenty of playtime, toys and treats. Charlie can be quite a picky eater, so I also made sure he was eating properly by patiently encouraging him at mealtimes and rewarding him afterwards. I also looked after Milo and Casper, making sure they were well fed, comfortable and cared for while their mum was away. I’ve also looked after my friend’s cat, Molly, over a weekend while she was away, making sure she was a happy kitty and got all the attention and affection she deserved. I understand how important it is to give pets a safe, calm and familiar environment, while following their individual routines and giving them plenty of attention and affection.

About: Having a dogs and cats of my own has given me valuable, hands-on experience in understanding and meeting a dog’s individual needs. In addition, I regularly house-sit and care for my family members’ dogs, which has further strengthened my confidence in managing a range of temperaments, routines and care requirements. I had worked in the veterinary industry for numerous years, gaining practical experience in animal health, welfare and clinical environments. I also completed an animal-based degree covering animal behaviour and animal nursing, which provided me with a strong foundation in both the practical and theoretical aspects of animal care. I now work within animal-based education, where I continue to apply and develop my knowledge within the animal care sector. My weekday availability is primarily in the evenings. However, during school holidays, my availability increases and I am able to offer greater flexibility. I work full time but i am available most evenings. Please enquire further if you have any questions at all. I am more than happy to help. Within my own home I have a high fence. Within clients homes I expect it to be fully fenced. I also expect a waiver and small questionnaire to be answered so I am best equipped to deal with your animals.

About: I’ve always looked after dogs whether they were my own, a family members or a friends. I also did a little work experience while I was in school looking after dogs at a daycare as well as going to they homes to feed and walk.

I have worked with many types of dogs before and have a few of my own, I always ensure to stick to a schedule they may have for they benefit.

About: I have over six years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, raising and training my two Labradors from puppies. My journey with dogs began even earlier, caring for my husband’s family Labrador from the age of 18, including managing his medication and providing gentle care in his later years. Over time, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. Whether it’s training, exercise, playtime, or administering medication, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. I have recently gone back into the world of education as a teaching assistant after a 1 year break (during this time I was a dog walker & pet sitter full time). My hours are 8:30-3:30 during the week, so I am available for morning & afternoon/evening pop-ins (with more availablity during half terms & summer holidays). I am available some weekends however I run a dog treat business that I take to pop-up markets so availability can sometimes be limited! Please get in contact & we can see if we can work out suitable timings for your pet’s needs! During the meet and greet I find out as much about your pet as possible so I can replicate the care as best I can. I want your pet to feel at ease & by offering a predictable routine, helps with this!

About: Hello! I have over six years of experience working with animals and grew up with two dogs, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I recently moved back from New York, where I looked after three dogs part-time alongside my acting career. I'm reliable, nurturing, and absolutely adore animals. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. work from home with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I also work as a performer, so much of my work involves auditions and self-taping from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive care and regular updates to pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's routine as closely as possible. In a pet owner's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages. I also respect the owner's home and leave everything clean and tidy. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and preferences.

About: I have had dogs in the family since I was a child! We have one labrador called Lula and are about to embark on another journey with a second pup! I can offer any walks that your dogs require, whether that be 20 minutes round the block for a sniffari or an hour over a forest. Whatever your dog needs, I will do it! I am currently trying to start up my own dog walking buisness and therefore not in any other form of employment. I am free 7 days a week for those who need me. For now it will be just walking your dogs that I will do, as our home is not set up for a day care type facility. I can offer any walk that your dog required and am happy to offer a pick up and drop off service.
