Dog Walking Bolton

About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m 28 and have hands on experience raising and training my own two dogs from just 7 weeks old, which has given me a strong understanding of puppy development, routines, and positive reinforcement training. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency, to older dogs who may need a gentler, more patient approach. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, sticking to routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. Because I’m a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or just some extra cuddles. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy and stress-free, and to give you complete peace of mind. work shift patterns, which actually allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to pet care. I only accept bookings when I’m off work, so I can give your dog my full attention throughout the day no distractions or time constraints. I’m available on weekdays and every other weekend, making me a flexible option for both regular care and occasional bookings. During my time with your pet, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship, while sticking closely to their usual routine. Because I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, you can feel confident they’ll be my top priority while they’re with me. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your dog’s usual routine closely, feeding times, walks, exercise, and any training or house rules you have in place so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure it’s kept clean and just as you left it. I spend quality time with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely. With my experience raising and training dogs from a young age, I’m confident reinforcing good behaviour, sticking to routines, and adapting to each dog’s needs whether that’s an energetic puppy or a more relaxed senior dog. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Vikki has provided an excellent service. Our dog loves her and she is brilliant at adapting to ours and his needs. Will definitely be rebooking in the future! 💜”

About: I've recently lost my gorgeous little Boston, winston and am missing him so much, so thought it would be an amazing opportunity to take care of and cuddle lots of other doggies until I am ready to get another. I had winston for 12 years and loved him like my child. I trained him from a puppy and then took care of him and gave him his medication and lots of care in his senior years. I was always brought up around dogs and genuinely love them more than most people. You can be guaranteed your fur babies will get a lot of love and care with me. I'm a teacher so am available at weekends or during school holidays for boarding. I can do drop ins and walks in the evenings on top of this. I dont have any children or other pets so your doggy will get my undivided attention. I treat them like children so they are very welcome on the couch and on the bed with me etc. I live near big playing fields and also have a garden.

“Lovely with my Harry and takes him on nice walks. Communication very good and very reliable. Great pictures of Harry on his walks too!! Thank you Janet!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life in my family home, usually a mix of both dogs and cats at the same time. I used to live in a lovely countryside area where we could go for massive walks and enjoy amazing play time! I now look after our lovely cat Betty and kitten Penny who are a handful, but they’re also the cuddliest most loving cats we’ve ever seen. I work full time, however my shifts change all the time leaving either a full morning or full evening available, plus 3 days a week off. I will look after your pet as I would my own, based on their routines that you have established with them. They would be in your home and used to their usual routines, and I would follow your instructions to the letter. I’ve been using an amazing sitter on Rover for years and would model myself on her amazing service. I would be the only person looking after your pet.

About: I have worked in emergency veterinary care for 5 years now, and have a lot of experience with all types of different animals! I have completed my VCA course through Myerscough college and am pursuing my Veterinary Nursing Diploma. Prior to working where I am now, I also worked at the RSPCA rehoming centre - spending time with the dogs and cats, caring for them before they went off to their new homes. I have two cats, Leonis and Cookie, who I absolutely adore. Prior to these two, I also had Holly and Bailey - two Ragdolls, who lived until they were 18! I currently work 5 days in (working nights) 5 days off, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your babies, especially when I am off work! Even on my days in, I would be able to pop round to feed, toilet, and spend some quality time if your pet wanted, too. Pets definitely rule the roost when it comes to doing home visits, so I would do all of their normal routines to the best of my ability. If dogs have a favourite route to walk, I’ll do my best to let them enjoy that walk too!

“Bex was great - really communicative and flexible and she was lovely with my doggy who thoroughly enjoyed her walks! Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I'm Toni, I'm 28, and like many others here I'm known for my love of animals. I have a lot of personal experience with caring for animals - we've always had animals in our household ever since I was a baby, and I'm often called upon to see to my neighbour's ever-expanding fur family when she's away. I have a ten year old Alsatian named Marshall and three adorable cats called Kevin (6), Keith (6) and Crystal (18). All my fur babies are full of life, energetic and love to keep me on my toes. Caring for them is an absolute blessing and it has encouraged me to start working towards a career in animal care. I'm a full-time support worker, but work flexible hours and days, and also complete my work alongside my business partner Brian, so between the two of us we can be completely flexible and will accommodate yours and your fur baby's needs as much as possible. I'm more than happy to keep you updated and send regular pictures! I know how difficult it can be being away from them! I work shifts as a support worker, however I also work alongside my business partner, Brian, so between the two of us we can be completely flexible for your needs. I will accommodate any requests for caring for your pet within your home. All rules and regulations will be followed to ensure your pet gets the best support and care.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience with dogs from 1 year old to 18 years old. I’ve also always had a variety of other pets including cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas and even Giant African Land Snails. I have even featured as a rescuer on Channel 4’s Dog Rescuers. Unfortunately due to the nature of my job as international cabin crew it is no longer possible for me to have pets of my own so I am pouring all my love for animals into looking after other people’s pets and making sure they feel right at home in my care. Offering a loving home away from home environment where your pets can feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you are away. As a member of cabin crew I bring a calm, caring and compassionate nature. I am trained to stay calm during any number of situations and this transfers easily to the care of animals. I have standard and enhanced DBS certificates due to my job as well as through tutoring which I have been doing alongside my work. I live with my husband Matt, in a lovely home with a fenced, secure garden which has both grass and patio areas and we live adjacent to fields and the bus route for save walking routes. I’m also an avid runner and love having company on runs for those pets that would prefer extra exercise. I am on a part time roster so every fourth week is a week off. When I am in work, my typical working block would be 3-4 days away and then 2-3 days off at home without any other commitments. This means I am able to commit completely to looking after and playing with your dog on my available days. I have a secure, fenced back garden where your dog can roam freely and have areas nearby for safe walking routes away from main roads.

About: I am currently in my final year of veterinary school and have a wide range of experience with different dogs and their medical issues. I am comfortable in giving medication and recognising when things aren’t quite right. I have previously had my own house sitting and dog walking business before starting veterinary school so I am comfortable with all aspects of caring for your pets. I’m currently in my final year of veterinary school so my weekends off are filled with lots of walks with my own dog and time spent at the stables with the horses. I would love to share this time with some other dogs too as well as any weeks or days off I have between my current rotations. I have great walks from my front door and two other friendly dogs who would love to keep your dog company. They would be very much part of the family, or if they feel more comfortable in their own home I can stay with them there.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.
