14. Erika N.
About: I am the pet parent of two large rescue dogs that are now getting on in years - but I’ve seen it all! I’ve been a regular dog walker for neighbours, so I’m familiar with all ages from puppy through to senior, and all personalities including high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and those that pull. I know great local routes for doggie adventures tailored to your pet’s needs. I work from home on a flexible schedule, and am always interested in an opportunity for a brisk walk or a home visit with a furry friend. I'm often available for last minute bookings. Each dog has unique needs, and I am careful to follow any instructions specific to your pet, including reinforcing your training routines. I prioritize your pet’s safety, having completed a dog emergency first aid course. When doing house visits I will ensure your home remains secure and clean while providing personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

Catherine has a genuine love for dogs (and cats) and has formed a close and loving bond with Daisy which is evident in Daisy’s enthusiastic greeting whenever Catherine comes round. It’s also very clear that Catherine genuinely enjoys spending time with and playing with Daisy. Catherine is very dependable and is always punctual and prepared as well as making sure that Daisy’s specific needs are looked after. Daisy needs twice daily medication and Catherine has always been meticulous making sure that Daisy has her medication when needed. Catherine’s dedication and care make her a fantastic choice as a dog-walker or sitter and we have peace of mind knowing that Daisy is in safe, capable hands.”

About: I have looked after friends pets in the past, both dogs and cats. I have a calm and joyful personality and I think animals can sense that and they trust me. I am currently working on my art business and selling my work through shops, markets and online, so I have a very flexible schedule as I don't work for anyone at the moment I love going on walks in nature and there are lots of areas around where I live I would walk your dog. I also would be happy to go where you suggest if you have a regular walking route your dog is used to.
