Dog Walking in Bournemouth

“Amy was so good with my dog and she genuinely cares about older dogs’ needs. She was on time and quickly took over for the walk. Her communications were spot on and I was very grateful to have the confidence in her abilities in order to leave my dog.”

About: Hi, I’m Savanna- a lifelong animal lover with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats! As a pet parent to two wonderful dogs of my own (Paco and Crumpet), I know just how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s dog walking, cat sitting, or daytime care, I treat every pet like my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. From energetic pups to shy senior cats, I’m confident handling all personalities and temperaments. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I have experience with looking after and supporting reactive/ nervous dogs. Additionally, I have experience looking after cats 🐈 I can provide house sitting, dog walks, drop ins for cats and dogs and more. I have a fun loving and gentle approach to all animals. If you have any questions please just get in touch 😊 I'm available weekdays and weekends to look after your furry friends! I can provide home visits and/ or dog walks- please reach out with your requests 🙂 I have a gentle and calm approach to all pets, and have experience with nervous dogs. I can crate a dog where needed. On walks I'm happy to have dogs on or off the lead in line with your preferences 🐾

“Left my dog and a cat in Lauren's care for 2 days. Will do it again with no hesitation: 120% care for our house and both a can and a dog, they didn't even seem to miss us much. I received tons of pictures. Highly recommended!!!”

“Thank you Sam and Nina for walking Pedro! He had a great time and was exhausted when I got home from work - which was perfect! Highly recommend these two. Lovely couple, and clearly have a lot of love for dogs!”

“Klaudia has been amazing! We were a little worried initially about dog walking as Freddie can be challenging around other dogs on walks and this was for 2 weeks whilr we were in Thailand. Klaudia came and met Freddie on her own time to make sure everything was a good fit and put our mind at rest before we committed which was really appreciated. The updates we got from Klaudia were superb and she is an experienced dog walker who was ate confident can handle Freddie if he got himself into a difficult situation. We really look forward to using Klaudia again in the future! I would 110% recommend!”

“Couldn’t recommend Louis enough, I asked him for help at the last minute and he gladly accepted the request to walk our 8 month old puppy who has had some health issues for a week. Louis sent pictures every day and updated us when his tummy was upset and kept an eye on him, our puppy absolutely loved him and honestly I’m just sad for puppy that it’s come to an end as he won’t have his bestie to play with! Will absolutely be booking Louis again, he’s been an amazing help. Thank you again!”

About: We are Lee and Sonya, an older couple (early 50s and mid 60s) living in the BH9 area of Winton. We are very close to lots of lovely dog walking places and are happy to drive further afield for doggy walks too. We’re used to walking dogs of all ages and most sizes (small, medium and not too large). We also have 2 quite elderly cats but they can be secluded away safely when your doggy is visiting or staying with us. We can take your dog(s) for walks locally - we usually go to Winton Rec, Redhill Park and Meyrick Park or, for longer walks, we go to Canford Sang, Wareham Forest and the New Forest. We sadly said goodbye to Buster, our lovely Belgian Malinois doggy of 13 years, in April 2025. We’re not ready to have a new doggie yet, but there is a big space in our hearts and we’d love to enjoy walking your dog so please let us know if you would like to book time with us. We love walking and especially dog walking. We’re confident and capable with all dog breeds and available for dog sitting and boarding while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)! 😊 I’m retired so have lots of free time, especially now my doggy has gone so I can fit in with most times you need my support. Sonya Safety is paramount! For pet stays at our home, we have a fully fenced-in garden and we would make sure your pet is safe when anyone comes to the door. Lots of fun activities as well as walks - toys, games and cuddles to make sure they feel safe with us.

“Mathilda was absolutely outstanding while looking after our dogs during our honeymoon. From the very start, she was reliable, caring, and incredibly attentive, which gave both me and my husband complete peace of mind while we were away. She took our dogs out on their walks every day, making sure they were happy, well exercised, and thoroughly cared for. What really stood out was how well she kept us updated throughout our trip, regularly keeping us in the loop and reassuring us that everything was going smoothly. It was clear our dogs built a wonderful bond with Mathilda and genuinely looked forward to seeing her each day. They absolutely loved their walks with her, and it was so comforting to know they were not only being looked after, but also enjoying themselves so much. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for them and would highly recommend Mathilda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and fantastic with dogs.”

“Lisa-Ann was wonderful with our dog! She was lovely and helped us out last minute as we both weren't feeling well. We would highly recommend her. She was very communicative, asked all the right questions upfront, and sent lovely pictures during their time together. Our dog came back very happy and content after her great time with Lisa-Ann! Thank you!”

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. While we are mostly been a cat family, we have had an array of pets, from fish to guinea pigs. I always seem to attract the cats however, nicknamed the cat queen in our house. Over the years, I have looked after many family friends dogs; Jack Russell’s, Springer Spaniels, Pomeranians, Labradors, Border Collies. I’ve always loved hiking and walking, and now get to do this as my job, but would love a furry friend to accompany me, so I can play pretend until I own one of my own! I’ve also recently done my first house sit on TrustedHousesitters for two lovely mother and daughter lab pair. It was one of my highlights so far of the year and would love to continue to help other families. I am a very tidy and clean person, and have no problem watering your plants or cleaning out a litter tray! I also have no problem with any energy level of dog, I’d walk for hours and play fetch for days… or just a quick wrap around the roads for cute oldies. I am currently an Outdoor Instructor working with the school holidays. I finish each day at 16:00, so able to drop in or walk to see your furry friends after work. I also have school holidays and weekends off, meaning I’m able to be flexible and spend lots of time playing and walking. I can also house sit during these holidays for whenever you and your loved ones are jetting off. ✈️ I love updating owners and sending lots of pictures of your friends! It is the service that I would like as I know how precious these pets are to us. I can easily follow any particular requirements or where your pet likes to sleep at night, to make sure they’re not unsettled by a new friend.

About: I’m an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your dog. I have been dog sitting now for over 3 years. I have grown up training and looking after my family miniature schnauzer and cared for him in his old age, administering medication and taking him to hydrotherapy and physio. There is a new pup (miniature poodle) in the family that I look after very often and regularly help with her training. I absolutely love looking after dogs, treating them as our own and making sure they’re having a fun and comfortable stay. I have regulars that come to me weekly that run into my home which is so lovely. We have experience looking after so many breeds such as cockapoos, cavapoos, schnauzers, poodles, dachshunds, schnoodles, goldendoodles, whippets, and many many more! We cannot wait to add your loved fur baby to our forever growing family of pups 🐶 I work from home each day and have the flexibility to go on walks in the mornings, at lunchtime and in the evening. I live in a ground floor flat with large private gardens so we can have run arounds in between our fun walks out! We are 5 minutes from the beach and Branksome woods. My partner is a teacher and is around during weekends, and school holidays for longer stays and day trips out with your precious pooch. At our dog friendly home, we are on the ground floor and everywhere is safe for your pooch to go. We have a large garden for toilet breaks and great sniffs! We will be with your dog at all times, would keep your dog on a lead and adhere to any of your special requirements that you have for your beloved pet. We have a medium sized crate which can be used for travelling in the car or sleeping if your dog is crate trained at night. I have given great care to my elderly family dog, which included giving him medication, supporting him during walks, doing exercises for his back legs and in general giving him love and attention. If your dog has any particular needs please let me know and I’d be happy to help anyway I can.

“Grant does an amazing job and it’s obvious how experienced he is. He’s friendly, professional, always on time, and very reliable. Our dog, Lenny, absolutely loves him and it’s a huge comfort knowing he's in such good hands. Couldn’t recommend him enough!!”

“Lauren took well care of my little Taco, I love that she replied to messages quickly and was very communicative. I would recommend her and i would definitely get in touch with her again for future fluff sitting.”

“Amy has been extremely responsive and communicative while taking my dog for lunch time walks. The information on toilet breaks, eating and drinking are great and the photos of their walk are very reassuring. Judging by my dogs tail, I'd say she's very happy with Amy and I am at ease going about my day. Thank you, Amy!”

About: Having worked as an NHS healthcare professional for 12 years, I know the importance of person-centred compassionate care. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog as an individual and getting to know it's character and needs. I'm doing some part time work on a Wednesday at the moment. Other than that I am free every day including the weekend. Feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do. I can look after your dog according to it's need in your own home with some instructions. I'm happy to give it access to outside space as needed.

“Great! Punctual, communicative, and my dogs felt very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend”

About: I had a dog when I was growing up in Italy during my teenage years for 13 years. After that, I had two cats (who are basically my whole world), but they are currently in Italy with my parents. So I completely understand what it means to go on vacation and not have anyone to look after your little fur babies. And that’s where I come in. I will do my absolute best to make your pets feel at home, loved, cuddled, and give them all the attention and care they need. I work full-time in healthcare, so being responsible, organised and attentive comes naturally to me. Your pet’s wellbeing and your home will always be treated with respect. I am working 42 hours weekly in a nursing home in Branksome, doing 3 long days (7-19) and one half day every week (7-13 or 13-19). I live in a flat really close to the beach. I have no garden, but I’m happy to take your dog for a walk by the beach, run together, have fun and enjoy the sun.

About: I have a little 9+ year old pug myself so have first hand experience with dogs. I’ve had other dogs in the past so experience handling multiple dogs at one time if needed. I work Mon-Fri, however have the flexibility to work from home several days a week so pet care can be provided during the day with notice. Fully available on evenings and weekends. I would prefer to pet sit at pet owners house. My garden is not fully secure. Caring for pets looks like providing walks, taking time to play/cuddle and generally being around to ensure the pets welfare.

“Tom is trustworthy and reliable, following our instructions to care for our spaniel, Hank, well. As a young dog he can be a handful but Tom gave us an update and looked after him well despite this. Thank you!”
