Dog Walking in Charnwood

“Joss was great! He was good at being in touch and seemed to look after Percy really well. It was a huge help having him look after our pup whilst we were away sailing - thank you!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 8 years now, in a variety of different roles including a dog handler, kennel assistant and dog walker. I own 2 dogs myself, a ridgeback/rottweiler and a Labrador retriever. I’ve also worked with various dogs of all sorts of different sizes and backgrounds and believe all dogs deserve the same love and attention. As I currently work from 4:30 to 1:30 in my main job, I’ll be able to walk your dogs during the afternoon. I will offer a meet and greet initially before walking your dog, so you can get to know me a little bit and build some trust between you and me and also your dog.

About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.

About: What sets me apart is how much genuine care and attention I give to every pet I look after. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Although I don’t have formal professional experience, I’ve grown up around dogs through my family, so I’m confident handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience caring for rabbits, which has taught me patience, gentle handling, and the importance of paying close attention to behaviour and routine. I’m very reliable and organised with my time around college and work, so I can be flexible while still making sure pets get consistent care and attention. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions closely, whether that’s for feeding, walks, or general routines. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel reassured with regular updates and photos while they’re away. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m currently at college, which means I have several gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to dog walks, check-ins, or spending time with pets. I also have fairly flexible evenings and mostly free weekends, so I’m able to offer consistent care and give pets the time and attention they need. I work part-time alongside this, but I plan my schedule carefully to make sure any pets I’m looking after are always prioritised and not left alone for long periods. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s usual schedule as much as possible. When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel as comfortable and secure as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions so pets feel settled and stress-free in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I always keep the home clean and respected. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Richard always takes such good care of our puppy and sends lots of pictures and updates”

About: *Available for last-minute bookings and regular weekday drop-ins* I’m really tuned into animals, so I focus on making them feel safe, calm and loved—not just “looked after.” I’ve got a 13-year-old dog, so I’m confident with senior care, slower walks and meds, and a young cat… so I’m very familiar with being politely ignored until food is involved 😄 I’ve got experience with puppies right through to seniors, and with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, energy levels and personalities. I’m gentle, reliable and stick closely to your pet’s routine, with plenty of updates so you know your floof is happy and settled. I’m available weekdays between school drop-off and pick-up, and I plan my day around that time so pets get consistent care and attention rather than being rushed. I keep my schedule manageable so I can be fully present, and I’m happy to arrange weekends on request where possible, though availability may vary slightly as I have a 4-year-old son. I always follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and settled, whether that’s in your home or out on walks. I take the time to understand their needs, personality and any specific instructions, including feeding, walks, medication and behaviour. I keep everything calm, secure and predictable, making sure doors, gates and spaces are safe at all times. I’m attentive to any changes in behaviour and adjust my approach to suit them, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.

About: As a dog mum myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely at ease when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I have experience supporting dogs with anxiety, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentleness. I’m also confident with puppies and understand how to balance structure and play to support their training and routine. I work in a special needs education setting, so I’m naturally tuned in to body language, behaviour, and creating a safe, soothing environment. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, enrichment games, or sticking closely to your dog’s routine - your pet will feel right at home with me. Right now, I’m off work for the next 10 weeks, so I have full availability every day to dedicate to pet care. This means your dog will get my undivided attention - whether it’s for walks or home visits. I’m flexible, responsive, and able to adapt to your pet’s routine without having to juggle other commitments. It’s the perfect time for me to offer calm, consistent care, just like they’d get at home. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walks, medication (if needed), and any house routines you’d like me to keep consistent. I send regular updates and photos so you can feel fully reassured while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed, loved, and completely at ease in your absence.

“Adam was extremely kind, helpful and efficient. Roger bonded with him straight away. He was available at short notice and flexible. We thoroughly recommend him”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, primarily adopted. From Collies to German Shepherds and Jack Russell’s. I’ve cared for them all from young until old. I also have experience with reptiles and small mammals. I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and would love to be able to care for your pets. I love going on long walks, particularly places like Outwoods or Watermead. I have a car so I’m happy to come to you or take your dog out somewhere nice. I work from home, with my work schedule being quite flexible to my needs. As such I can tailor my day around different priorities, like pet care. I would be attentive, making sure they know I’m receptive to their needs, whether that’s letting them out in the garden regularly or feeding them. Playing with their toys and interacting regularly.

“Susan is very experienced with dogs and handles my 3...one is very reactive...with ease. Susan is very caring, honest and trustworthy and I have no hesitancy recommending her services.”

About: I recently obtained my Level 2 certificate in animal welfare which allows me to provide an extra level of care to your dog. My understanding of their needs is much greater since accomplishing this also due to the work experience in a busy dog day care, I was quickly brought up to speed managing up to 20 dogs! I have always been passionate about dogs ever since I became a young dog mum, I took my boarder collie dog training when I was 13 and created a fabulous bond which will last a million lifetimes! She lived well into her senior age of 18 where I met all her senior needs 🥰 Unfortunately last year she passed but I loved every minute of being a dog mum so now I'm using my passions to provide a safe and loving environment for other dogs to enjoy as a fun doggy holiday. I am always walking and hiking, I am also a self employed hair dresser which means I am often at home or not far from it. I have a huge secure garden, which is often referred to as a doggy's paradise! I live in a detached barn conversion with a 360 garden. I have an open plan house, with hard floors perfect for dogs. I live 2 minutes from a park and not far from Leicester centre.

About: FOR DISCOUNTS USE THE CODE: 'KRISHD17658' I'm a new pup-mum (Alloo) and old dog sitter! Preferring the company of our four-legged friends, I have the luxury of spending the entire day/night with them as I work from home full-time. Long walks and playtime are Alloos favourite times of the day, so rest assured your doggo will be returning home very tired! Alloo is 8 months old, loves humans and dogs so you don’t have to worry about your doggo being on his own. Aside from this, I'm pretty flexible & would love to meet you and your fur-baby!

About: I have always been relied on by friends & family to look after their dogs when needed. I have experience in all dogs, senior, puppies, and dogs that struggle with new people. I also have experience in administering medication, understanding behaviour, walking, feeding and grooming. I’m currently working part time, which means I have some free time through out my week! My shift pattern at work changes each week. I have been brought up around dogs my whole life, and I also have a big German Shepard myself who has anxiety around people. This means I have learned skills in how to create a safe environment for dogs and make them feel at ease ❤️
