Dog Walking in Bournemouth

About: I’m an experienced sitter with a genuine love for all animals. I got all my pets through to the tender old ages of 16 through devotion, love and responsibility. I love giving them love and I can take care of senior dogs with all kinds of health problems. I am also DBS checked and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds you name it. I even had horses. I currently work part time and my work is flexible so they will have all the attention and love from me. We’ll go on early morning walks and afternoon walks depending on the weather and between they’ll get to play and have fun! I live in a one bedroom in a long stay hotel setting right now. There’s a bit garden in the back and a big one in front with plenty of routes to the beach. I’m also more than happy to stay at your place and look after your babies in their own environment.

About: As a Rover client myself since 2021, I know exactly what it takes to provide peace of mind when you trust someone with your four-legged family member. Having used drop-ins, daycare, walks, and boarding from the owner's side, I know how reassuring a quick photo update is, how vital it is to stick to a precise feeding schedule, and how important transparency is. I treat your dog’s routine as absolute law and deliver the exact high standard of care that I expect for my own dog, Odin. Raising my own 5-year-old Black Labrador through the high-energy puppy stages means I am well-versed in positive reinforcement, maintaining house-training schedules, managing teething, and ensuring safe, controlled socialization. Equally, I understand that older dogs have vastly different needs. Whether it's managing a slower pace on our walks, administering oral medications, recognizing signs of joint discomfort, or simply ensuring they have a quiet, comfortable space to rest, senior dogs receive gentle, attentive care here. I am entirely comfortable handling larger, high-energy breeds, managing leash pulling, and ensuring that play sessions remain safe, balanced, and fun. Your dog will seamlessly blend into a structured, active, and reliable daily schedule: 8:30 AM: A long 45–60 minute morning walk at Bournemouth Gardens (plenty of ball-throwing and running around for high-energy pups!). 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM: Dedicated comfort breaks. 8:30 PM: A secondary 45–60 minute evening walk to wind down for the night. 11:30 PM / Midnight: A final late-night comfort break before settling in for bed. Because I share my home with Odin, we strictly accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable with other dogs. Our home is rarely empty. I work a brief shift Monday to Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, someone is always at home, ensuring your dog is never left alone during those times. On Mondays and Thursdays, dogs should be comfortable being left for a maximum of 3 hours in the evening alongside Odin. We live in a flat ideally located directly across the road from Bournemouth Gardens, meaning fantastic, green, and expansive walks are right on our doorstep!

“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!!!”

“Anna was amazing! Bella got along with her brilliantly! Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“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: Hi, I’m Savanna- a lifelong animal lover with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats!

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!

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.

About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old and I love walking and playing with them. I want them to feel as happy with me as I am with them. At the moment I have a little pomsky who is adorable and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to help people that need someone to look after their dog and that want that person to be as loving and caring as I am. I work from home, so I can provide day care from my home and overnight stays during the week. I work full time, but I work from home and have my dog all the time next to me. So I will pay your pet lots of attention with regular potty breaks. I have a fenced back yard and a very friendly dog that will keep your pet company! They will have lots of fun playing together. I work from home, so I can make them company and take them on regular walks. I also have a dog of my own, so they will never feel lonely. I don't let them off the leash when going outside and they are always monitored. I will also follow any instructions that the owner gives regarding the care of his/her dog.

About: I enjoy caring and looking after dogs of all breeds. I’m able to understand the dogs behaviour and adapt my approach as necessary. You can rest assure you dog will be well looked after and in good hands with me. And of course your dogs will have fun whilst in my capable care. If you dog is staying at my flat of an overnight stay they will enjoy lovely walking in Bournemouth gardens and along the beach. Where I will send you regular pictures off your dog having fun. For house sitting service and your needs and requirements can be mutually arranged so your not worry about them when your away. I’m more than happy to pick up dogs locally and take them on there favourite walk or new adventures. What ever you require I will be more than happy do.

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.

“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: 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.

About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was younger as my family has always had dogs. I went to puppy classes with our lad dog and helped train my friends dog. I love dogs and always will. I’m currently a uni student so looking after pets means I can fit it around my study schedule and I can still do uni work when pet sitting. I will make sure to follow any rule you have for your dog. I often make sure that even if dogs are normally let out without being watched, that I stay and watch them.

“Hazel is reliable and Buddy loves her. Hopefully Buddy was well behaved for her today. I would recommend Hazel”

“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.”

“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: I’ve been around all different types of breeds of dogs since I was born, lots of family pets and looking after family friends animals. I have trained puppies into adults. I love big and small dogs. I’ve recently transitioned into a full time office position, Mon - Thurs and a half day on a Friday. Depending on location, I would be able to pop in/out mid day for a walk and to let them out for the toilet. From July I will be able to work from home a few days during the week, if you’re happy for me to bring my laptop then please let me know if this would work for you. I understand not all dogs and owners like the idea of them being left alone for certain time periods so please keep this in mind when booking. I would love to be able to make bookings work around this and would make up for that period of time away with lots of cuddles. I will love your pet like they’re my own, taking care of their needs in your home. Lots of cuddles, treats, bonding and long walks.
