Dog Walking Ashwell

About: I previously had a wonderful senior dog, so I understand that not every dog wants (or can manage) long walks. As he got older, we adapted his routine to suit him, with shorter, gentler walks and plenty of time to sniff and explore at his own pace. He was also deaf in his later years, so I became very aware of how important it is to approach dogs calmly and thoughtfully to avoid startling them. That experience taught me to be patient. Whether your dog is young and full of energy or enjoying their senior years, I'll always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I'll be available Friday to Sunday evenings, making me a great option for weekend walks, drop-in visits or evening care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve, and I'll keep you updated throughout. Your pet's safety and happiness will always come first. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine, whether that's feeding times, medication, favourite walking routes or any little quirks that make them unique. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they're in my care.

About: I have had family pets since I was a little girl, we have had fish, guinea pigs, cats and dogs so I've experienced all different ways of looking after all our friends! I am a qualified dental nurse so I am very used to caring for people in my day to day life, handling medication, dealing with high stress situations and following instructions as led by you. My aim is always to create a calm and zen atmosphere to reduce anxiety and bring the fun and games when needed, I am now also a trained yoga teacher and I implement a joyful energy into all aspects of my life. I understand how important routine and structure is for animals, I am trustworthy and will promise to treat your furry friends as if they are my own. I just came back from a 4 month trip around Southeast Asia which ended with me gaining my Yoga teacher certification. I am currently not in a Dental Nurse role and am planning to start teaching yoga part time to gain experience, this means I have a lot of free time and flexibility each week. I am able to drive and travel to your house to come and look after your pets however, I am currently living in my family home with two of my own pets (a cat and a dog) so I am unable to board pets in my own home currently.

“Ellie has been a great support and help walking our puppy, helping introduce him to all aspects whilst on his walk, even in the storms. Would definitely recommend.”

About: With over 13 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I’ve cared for pups of all shapes and sizes – from cuddly Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to energetic Labradors. I’m the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my family, always ready for a stroll, playtime, or a cozy cuddle session. I understand the importance of routine, trust, and personalised care, and I treat every dog like part of the family. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine comes first. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so your pet gets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m also flexible on evenings and weekends, making it easy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or a calm companion, I’ll tailor my schedule to meet their needs. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry friend is safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s routine, personality, and needs – whether they love long walks, gentle play, or just quiet company. I’m patient, reliable, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and happiness. From giving plenty of belly rubs to keeping them active and engaged, I aim to make your dog feel right at home. I also keep you updated with photos and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. Clean, calm spaces, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and lots of love are all part of the experience. Whether I’m walking your pup or watching them for the day, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Noah seemed to have a great time on his walk, and it was super helpful for me while I’m at work. It’s also great to get quick replies when my work can change around last minute”

“Henry was brilliant with our rescue dog who can be a bit nervous around people and new dogs. He kept us updated throughout and was reliable walking our dog as planned. Thanks so much!”

Emma C.

“Sonia was lovely with my mini-schnauzer Lola and took her on some nice gentle walks. It was great getting the little updates after each walk. I really appreciated Sonia’s flexibility and kindness when my plans changed at the last minute, and will definitely be asking her for help with Lola in the future.”

About: I work part-time so I am very flexible. I have experience walking and looking after a variety of dog breeds for family members and friends (including: border collie, dachshund, Dogue de Bordeaux). I own a border collie so I am comfortable with high energy dogs. I have experience volunteering at dog centres across South East Asia, walking and caring for multiple dogs at one time. I’m currently working part-time, I am available daytime a few days a week. I can also be available for evenings or longer stays. I have a car if needed to transport your dog for walks. I am happy using crates if your dog is comfortable in one. I am happy to meet up prior to walking your dog to gain trust and make sure the dog feels comfortable.

“Amaizing. Thank you sooo much. Will def be rebooking ❤️🐾”

About: I have been taking care of pets as young as I can remember, growing up with golden retrievers. Formally, I have looked after pets for the last 2 years ranging from cats and dogs to even little bunnies. I am a friendly organised and approachable individual who adores all kinds animals, and understands their unique and differing needs. I provide attentive care, lots of cuddles, playtime and long walks, to give owners peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I am also capable of handling medication for animals, as my own dog is currently ill, so I understand very clearly the requirements of animals who may need a little more help. I am working solely as a pet sitter currently, so have plenty of time in the week to look after your furry friend, whether that’s just a drop in to go for a walk or pet sit for a weekend, I am incredibly available and ready to work. I treat every pet with patience and care, they all have unique needs that I ensure I play close attention to. Being an organised and attentive individual, any special requirements you have I will be sure to follow through.

About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. I have experience caring for dogs and frequently help out friends with drop ins and dog walks when needed. Your doggy can expect countryside walks and lots of fuss and attention. I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies! I already spend a lot of time out walking so it would be great to have a furry companion and explore some different areas. I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.

About: I may not have formal “professional” experience yet, but I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, from pugs to German Shepherds, and have always loved caring for them. I’ve looked after my own two dogs, who are 13 and 8 years old, so I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care, routines and different needs that come with looking after dogs. I’m hoping this is the beginning of a future career working with animals, as my long-term dream is to become fully qualified and eventually have my own doggy daycare. I’m excited to gain more experience, meet lots of lovely dogs and, most importantly, make sure every dog I look after feels happy, safe and well cared for 🐾 I’m currently working full time but work from home Mondays and Fridays. My weekends are free and I can usually be available in the evenings too :) I am only able to to have one pet in my own home as I live with my parents, but if offering care in your house I will treat it with the utmost respect and according to whatever rules you set!

About: Hello! I’m the proud dog-mummy of a beautiful beagle (and 2 humans!). I’m a reliable and caring animal lover offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks and care routines to suit your pet’s individual needs — whether that means long active walks, slower paced strolls, playtime, feeding routines, medication support, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Services I offer include: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Pet sitting • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Regular updates and photos I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I work from home so am available at short notice and for regular visits. Can’t wait to hear from you! I work from home Monday - Thursday and can happily fit in walks or pop ins during the day. I would also be happy to keep your pets company for longer periods during the day (so long as I can use your wifi and you are happy for me to bring my laptop!). I can be available evenings and Friday-Sunday on request but would need some more notice to fit this in. I have experience training and walking my incredibly lively beagle. I am confident with any care instructions, feeding and toileting habits (no judgement here!). I would treat your home and your pet as if they were my own!

About: I’m a pet sister from Hong Kong, now living in the UK for the third year. I moved here with my four cats, who are now 6 to 7 years old. After settling down, I adopted a 1.5-year-old Border Collie. I truly love all my pets—they’re my family. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Every day, I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s morning and evening drop-in visits, regular walks, or spending quality time with my own pets at home. I make sure to stay organized so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Being around animals brings me joy and keeps me active, so I always look forward to every visit or walk. When providing drop-in visits or dog walking services, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and respected in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, whether it’s feeding, cleaning, giving medication, or following a specific walking route or routine. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm energy and gentle care so they feel comfortable around me. During walks, I stay alert and prioritize their safety at all times—avoiding busy roads, checking their body language, and ensuring they’re always on-leash unless instructed otherwise. I treat every pet like family, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.

About: I offer reliable local dog walking and drop-in visits, keeping your pets happy, active, and well cared for while you are away or at work. ​I have owned and loved dogs for years and have personally fostered rescue dogs, including assisting with specialized hydrotherapy and physiotherapy care for a foster dog's rehabilitation. In addition to caring for household pets, I have practical hands-on experience in animal husbandry through my volunteer farm work, which has a strong focus on animal welfare and hands-on education. ​This rich background gives me great confidence, patience, and a calm, clear understanding of animal behavior, special medical or physical needs, and routine. Whether it’s an energetic walk or a quiet drop-in visit to check food, water, and play, I treat every dog with the highest level of care and attention. As a single mum, my pet care schedule is designed to fit perfectly around school hours. I am primarily available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the daytime on weekdays. This setup allows me to give your dog my full, undivided attention while you are busy at work. I am flexible, reliable, and will always do my best to accommodate your dog's regular feeding, walking, and toilet routines. Because I offer walking and drop-in visits, your dog stays completely comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. When visiting your home, I am highly respectful of your property and security routines. On walks, your dog's safety is my absolute priority. My background in farm animal welfare, fostering, and canine rehabilitation (including physiotherapy) means I am highly vigilant, patient, and completely confident handling dogs with special medical or behavioral needs.

About: I'm a remote worker with a flexible schedule, which means I can commit properly to house sits. There's no rushing back and forth, and no leaving pets alone for long stretches. Since I work from wherever I am, your home and animals get consistent company and attention throughout the day. I grew up around animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and more, so caring for pets isn't new to me, it's second nature. On the dog side specifically, I've got hands on experience across the full size spectrum, from sausage dogs to Great Danes, so whether you've got a lap sized companion or a gentle giant, I know how to look after them properly, from exercise needs to feeding routines and everything in between. I have my own car, so I'm happy to travel to sits further afield, handle vet runs or emergencies if needed. I also offer cleaning as an additional service ahead of your arrival home. I'm happy to provide references on request. I'm an active person, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I like to start with a walk before my working day begins, then fit in another towards the end of the day, adjusting timing and length depending on each pet's exercise needs. Throughout the working day itself, since I'm remote, pets have company and I'm on hand for feeding, playtime, or anything else that comes up. Whether I'm in a pet owner's home or my own, my priority is keeping to the animal's normal routine as closely as possible. Changes in environment can be unsettling for pets, so I make a point of sticking to their usual feeding times, walk schedule, and any habits they're used to, rather than imposing my own. Before a sit, I like to go through everything with the owner: feeding amounts, any medication, behavioural quirks, vet details, and emergency contacts, so I'm fully prepared and know exactly what to do if something unexpected comes up. I treat the home with the same care and respect I'd want shown to my own, keeping it secure, tidy, and exactly as I found it. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos during a sit, so owners have peace of mind while they're away. And since I have my own car, I can get to a vet quickly if there's ever an emergency.

“Kelsey was great, Willow really liked her, she was great at helping her get over her nerves at the beginning of the walk. Really punctual, Willow seemed to have a lovely time, would definitely recommend :)”

“Jessica walked our dog Mikey while we were away for a couple days. She was always very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures and made us feel at ease. Will be using her in the future. ;)”

About: Hi Everyone, I know how important it is to have your furry family members looked after when you’re away from home. It can be a very anxious time. I decided to offer a dog sitting service so I could help other owners like me have a trusted and experienced animal lover look after their dogs with the love and care they deserve. Speaking from experience, when you're away from home, you want to know your fur babies are being loved and treated as if you were there! My mum, Jackie has joined me on this venture and so no matter what, we will always be available to help! We both work remotely in Finance and luckily have extremely flexible hours to suit your needs. We have 4 cats of our own (Luther, Wilbur, Phoebe and Doris). We rarely ever call them by their names as we’re always talking silly with them! Luther is a diabetic so we’re experienced with administering medication and injections. We also have 2 dogs that are rescues from Romania! I’ve previously volunteered at Blue Cross helping the various cats and kittens - such a memorable experience! We’re happy to cover Baldock and many surrounding areas so do get in touch. Your furry guys will be treated as if they were our own and I can tell you now ... they live better than we do!! :) During our visits, we would spend as much time as needed making sure your doggos were happy. We'd have a long play and a cuddle but along with that would go feeding, water bowl changing, giving treats (if allowed of course!) and pictures and video updates while you’re away. We will happily provide the best service that will keep your mind at ease about your fur baby. We will also send multiple updates per day as well as adorable pictures of your adorable pup!

About: I have been lucky enough to share my life with pets since I was little. My family currently consists of me, my partner, our two cats and two gerbils (so those relationships need managing well!) I regularly look after other animals as well including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, and rabbits. The tasks I do when caring for them include feeding, playing, cleaning, cleaning up after, walking, and cuddling! I am attentive and always aim to ensure the pets are healthy, and feel loved and happy. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible and determined by me, so I have plenty of time to set aside to care for your animal(s)! I am adaptable, so should you wish me come to your house to care for your pet(s) I will ensure I have a full list of any requirements so they are well cared for. If you wish for your pet to stay with me in my home, they can socialise with my fur babies or I can keep them in separate rooms from my cats if necessary. If you have a dog that sleeps in a crate I am happy to accommodate that too.
