“Lauren took Bodhi for a couple of walks at really short notice, was super flexible and easy to organise. Bodhi had a great time and was suitably tired after a good walk with Lauren. Would have her walk him again without doubt. Thankyou!”
2. Amanda R.

5. Mengjiao G.
About: My family have taken care of all kind of dogs when I was kid. I was growing up with my grandparents’s dog and I love them! I am full time and remotely working from home. So I can look after the dog for whole day in my house. I walk my dog twice a day. And we like to take dog out for about 2hours walk during weekend. I have fenced garden and friendly chowchow who likes to play. I would like to play with the dog and walk the dog twice or three times a day.
6. Brogan A.
“Brogan is great at looking after my dog Gracie. She makes sure that she is fed and is taken on her walks and is always up for giving cuddles & chilling out. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
7. Elena G.
About: My name is Elena, I'm 30 years old and I love being around animals in general. My profile picture is from an elephant rescue shelter where I went in Thailand (no riding at all). I have been around dogs for some time. I had volunteered in a rescue shelter with over 600 dogs in total, walking over 10 dogs every day. I did volunteered as well in another rescue shelter with some difficult dogs training them, to become easier for them to be around people. I missed so much being there, having some time every day with my furry friends. I love being around animals, but I live in a shared house and that makes it impossible to have my own, so here I am. I would love to be again spending my time with them and having some fun walking around.
8. Rowan S.
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years, Pilot, Scot and Raven. I have recently moved to Basingstoke and miss having a dog in my life. I have had every dog from puppy so am happy to look after younger but also senior pets. Happy to follow all instructions to give you peace of mind that your furry friend is in safe hands. Regular photo updates will be provided. About me: Currently working from home at my job in Finance. In my spare time I enjoy playing basketball, seeing my friends and chess. I am free to visit your dog or cat morning, lunchtime or evening. All instructions will be followed when visiting your home. When walking your dog, all instructions will also be followed to ensure they have the best time.
9. Jaco V.
“I don't know who loves who more, our sausage dog Chester or Jaco but the love does not stop there. It is obvious that Jaco and his family adores all the dogs they have and will look after whilst under his care. Having previously had their own furry additions to their family, Jaco explained to me once that it is a win-win situation with every opportunity to dog sit or go walkies. I'm now not sure who is more sad every time I have to pick Chester up (Jaco or Chester)”
10. Caitlin B.
“I highly recommend Caitlin as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has been training and caring for her 8-month-old Labrador puppy, and she is the most well-behaved and affectionate dog I have ever met. Caitlin is clearly passionate about animals, and she takes her role as a pet caregiver very seriously. She is knowledgeable about animal behavior and training, and she is always patient and understanding with her furry friends. I have seen firsthand how Caitlin interacts with her own dog, and I am confident that she would provide the same high level of care and attention to any pet in her charge. She is reliable, punctual, and communicative, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure that her pets are happy and healthy. I would not hesitate to entrust my own pet to Caitlin, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
11. Freya K.
“I highly recommend Freya as a pet caregiver. Her genuine love for animals, coupled with her responsibility and attention to detail, ensures that pets are not only well cared for but also feel loved and safe. Freya's dedication and reliability make her the ideal choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver.”
12. Marta S.

13. Jessica F.
“Jessica is a very trustworthy person, especially when it comes to animals. She has walked my dog many times and I’ve never had any problems. Always given updates.”
14. Chyna B.
About: I have lifelong experience and dedication to caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. Having grown up in a family who’ve always had dogs and spent significant time caring for my grandparents dogs over the years; Border Collie, Weimaraner, cockapoo and Whippets, I’ve gained extensive experience in providing personalised care, from administering medication to following breed-specific needs. I also have years of experience caring for senior dogs, including my Bichon Frise Daisy, who recently passed at 15 - she was always by my side. Working from home allows me to give your pet constant attention and ensure they’re comfortable and happy throughout their stay. I also worked for a dog grooming brand on the marketing team, giving me deeper insight into dog care, grooming practices, and the pet industry as a whole. This background enhances my ability to provide top-notch care, ensuring your dog is not only well looked after but also groomed and maintained with care. I work from home, allowing me to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. Regular walks, playtime, feeding, and administering any medications can all be easily scheduled into my workday. I’m able to provide the consistent care and attention dogs need, ensuring they stay happy and comfortable. My flexible schedule also allows for adaptability, whether it’s daily care or accommodating special routines for individual pets. I treat it like their very own staycation! I make sure to stick to their usual routines, from mealtime to walks, so they feel right at home. Whether it's their favorite game of fetch in the yard, belly rubs on the couch, or following any feeding or medication instructions, I keep things fun and stress-free. Your pet gets all the love and attention they’re used to, with plenty of playtime and snuggles while you’re away!
15. Kacie S.
About: I looked after my friends dog for 6 months when she went travelling across America. It was the best time of my life as I didn’t own any pets at this point. I currently work at Starbucks so my shifts vary every week from 5:30am-9:15pm. I don’t do over night stays. I can provide check-ins for your let and dog walking. If your dog is friendly and good with other dogs then we can discuss meeting with my dog if they want another furry friend to join on their walks! I update my calendar according to my work schedules. If you need a repeat dog walker we can make this work too as I can try to manage my work schedule to accommodate your needs! I always make sure I give my dog loads of attention and like to feed him treats! (Not too many though!) I would always be giving your pet the most love and attention they need to make them feel comfortable around me.
16. Teigan Y.
“I asked Teigan to look after my dogs when I went to Greece last summer. The tasks I provided were feed them, walk them just once a day and make sure they are fine. She went ABOVE and beyond. I received many pictures everyday updating me on how they were doing. She fed them promptly and efficiently everytime. Not only did they get one walk- but sometimes 2/3! She cared for them as if they were her own and I will always trust her now to look after my dogs when Im away. She is the friendliest person ever and can 100% be more than trusted with everything to do with animals. I recommend Teigan to everyone and my dogs absolutely love her.”
17. Cody R.
“Cody is an absolute blessing to have as a dog walker. He takes tremendous care and I have such a reassurance that when Bailey is with him, she is well taken care off. I would 100% recommend him.”
18. Laura K.
“Laura is used to caring for animals, having been brought up with a dog and several cats. She has a very compassionate disposition and cares very much about animal welfare. She helped me out when my previous cat was unwell,always going the extra mile ,which was much appreciated.”
19. Erin T.
About: I love dogs! I’ve grown up looking after dogs until I got my own dogs 7 years ago. Now i’ve moved out, they’re family dogs and live with my mum. They are 2 jack russells, both rescue dogs. I currently have a siberian husky who weighs around 20kg so i have experience with high energy dogs. I used to look after 2 large dogs so I have experience handling larger dogs from a young age. However, i love all dogs from puppies to elderly dogs. I am free part-time. I am confident around any dog, as long as the dog is confident around me. I have experience with timid shy dogs, so as long as your dog is happy to be around me I’ll be there! I did work experience in kennels when i was in college, it was awesome and I loved caring for animals. I even handled cats. My job included: walking the dogs, giving medicine, feeding, cleaning their cages and giving them all the love in the world. I’m self employed so as long as i have notice i can fit it in! I have a passion for animals so i’ll always find time. I live in an apartment but it is dog & puppy proofed. My husky has high energy so she has a lot of walks and enjoys a lot of play time.
