Dog Walking Chichester

About: I’m a friendly, reliable and DBS checked dog walker with hands-on experience from owning dogs over the years, as well as volunteering with the RSPCA in dog care. I’m comfortable with a range of breeds, sizes and temperaments, including rescue and nervous dogs, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy and well cared for. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet, so I’ll always provide a calm, caring approach, keep you updated, and treat your dog as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays, which gives me flexibility for dog walks during the day. I’m available for walks during my lunch break (between 11:30am–2pm) and after work from 5pm onwards. Wednesdays are less flexible, but I may still have limited availability depending on the week. I’m generally available most weekends at any time, so I can be more flexible to suit your dog’s routine. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities through both personal ownership and my volunteering with the RSPCA. This has given me confidence working with a range of temperaments, including dogs who may be nervous, shy or simply need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. For added peace of mind, I am DBS checked and have completed Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) training, covering CPR, choking, bleeding control, seizures and other common canine emergencies. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing and happiness will always be my top priority. Every dog is different, so I believe walks should be tailored to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk, a slower-paced stroll or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I aim to provide a positive experience that leaves them happy, enriched and looking forward to their next adventure.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, am a qualified dog psychologist and a big belly rub enthusiast. I recently lost my elderly sassy dachshund Ruby who lived to 14. It’s been too quiet without her so I would love to look after your pooch while you’re away. I regularly sit for dogs but would love the opportunity to meet more. The pet parents I work with would be happy to share feedback should you need the extra reassurance. I know it can be nerve wracking finding someone who will take care of your pup as well as you do. I absolutely adore dogs and will treat your pup like my own. I am happy to care for all ages and have trained puppies. I have a real soft spot for senior dogs so am very happy to look after them and provide any extra care they need. I also recently completed a pet first aid course. I’ve also worked in a rescue centre so have plenty of experience with any type of behaviour. My work is flexible and I can work from home whenever I need. I’ll be available to take your pup on regular walks and snuggle with them in the evening. I’ll give them the structure they need to feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to adapt to any routine your dog is used to. I’ve stayed in my clients homes when they have been away, my priority is care for the pup while taking care of your home. I’m very clean and will make sure the place is ready for your return. Changing the bed and cleaning the bathroom, etc. Will take care of plants, wait for deliveries, pretty much anything you need to make sure things are ticking along while you’re away.

About: For the past 10 years I’ve enjoyed walking/bathing/playing with/sitting my friends’s and family member’s dogs alongside my own. I am happy to accommodate to the owner’s needs for their dog and enjoy working with a range of different dog breeds :) I’m happy to be flexible surrounding you and your dog - I am free weekday mornings/afternoons and all day Friday-Sunday. Let me know the timings you need and I will try my best to accommodate! My garden is fenced and spacious allowing your dog to play freely. I pay close attention to your dog ensuring the safety and comfort of your pets.

About: I’ve been dog walking for around 10 years now, mainly for friends and family but recently for some neighbours too which has been really lovely I work full time for an airline but I have a set minimum of days off during the month so please just get in contact and I will be able to confirm my availability for the week. Whilst I wouldn’t be able to dog sit within my own home I would be more than happy to come and dog-sit within your home

About: Hi, I’m Joel. I’m a Teaching Assistant in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) setting, regularly involved in outdoor activities and Forest School sessions. This means I’m at my happiest outdoors, rain or shine, and I’m used to managing a variety of unique needs with patience and a calm, positive approach. Working in an SEN environment has taught me how to read body language and learn to provide care for each individual’s needs - skills that translate perfectly to dealing with our furry friends! Whether your dog is a zoomy explorer who loves adventure or a more nervous personality who needs a gentle, patient companion, I can adapt my walking style to suit them. Why choose me? * DBS-Checked: I hold a current Enhanced DBS through my school role. * Genuine Love For The Outdoors: Spending most of my work and free time outside, all year long. * SEN Expertise: I’m highly patient and experienced with 'big' personalities and complex needs. * Reliable & Responsible: I’m used to following strict safety protocols and routines. * Experience with reactive/nervous dogs: Growing up at home with rescue dogs with challenging behaviours, learning to nurture and understand dogs both confident and nervous. Reach out with any queries you might have and I’ll respond as soon as I am able. Initial meet and greets with dogs are completely free as I’ll be eager to get to know the dogs before we set off on our first walk together! I work school hours during the week, which means I am free from 3:30pm weekdays. On weekends I can be available and flexible with hours, also being able to offer full time availability during school holidays. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and share some fun fuelled walks! I can commit my full focus and attention towards your four legged loved ones, as I get as much joy being around them as they hopefully will around me! I have a very calm demeanour which I like to think helps the people and dogs around me feel the same way too.

About: Hi im izzie. You’ll usually find me on the slopes instructing young kids how to snowboard, but while im waiting for the snow to come in I like to work as a pet sitter and dog walker. My family have always had dogs and other pets so im very confident in looking after pets and look forward to meeting your pets and giving them a good experience on their walks or while you’re on holiday! Having always lived with dogs im very comfortable around all sorts of breeds as well as aiding in the training of my dogs. I’m currently unemployed as my work as a snowboard instructor has time off during the split in the seasons. I’ve just returned from a season in japan and will be heading off to australia in june. But while im waiting for the snow to come in my schedule is fully flexible and I can work around booking that I get due to not having a set work schedule to live by. What you need I can give. I think it’s important when looking after your pet that while you’re gone, as little changes for them as possible. So sticking to their routine so they feel as comfortable as possible and can build trust with me while you aren’t there. My goal for them is to feel as safe as possible while having fun at the same time.

“Miriam had a brilliant walk with Gabrielle, she even stayed a bit longer than booked to play with her at home! I would definitely book her again.”

“Ellie was great with Apple and gave me lots of updates after the walks, which was amazing and made me feel reassured. She sent lots of pictures and Apple was really happy with her. Thank you”

About: Always had a dog in the family growing up and lots of other family members have dogs too. Trusted to take family and friends dogs out for walks and look after in the house! Really enjoy the company of dogs and outdoor walks! I work full time as a teacher so would be good for evening or weekend walks including overnight care at the weekend/Friday night. I am also available during half terms and holidays. I have a fenced garden and lots of areas around suitable for walking including paved areas and wooded environments. Garden has lots of grass and space to move around in.

About: I've always been trusted to care for family pets, whether for overnight stays or daily walks, and I've loved every minute of it. I've also looked after pets for neighbours and family friends, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I love attending training classes with my own dog, Bruce, and have picked up a few fun tricks and training techniques along the way that I can practise with your pup too! I’m currently back from university over the summer and only working part time so i have plenty of time to look after and play with any dogs! My schedule is very flexible to fit your needs. I have a fenced garden and a very energetic dog, Bruce, who will love the company. I am very attentive and will make sure your dog has everything they need

About: Since my early years, the family house has always been filled with small animals - cats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. From this I’ve built a very good understanding of how to care for small animals like how to administer medication, feed, clean and groom them. Over my teenage years, whilst completing my gold Duke of Edinburgh, I volunteered for a year at an animal sanctuary where we cared and housed the most random of animals from hedgehogs to seagulls. But the most common animal we had were cats and kittens. Often we had around 20 cats at one time so I had to make sure to divide my time well that each animal had a good amount of human contact, cuddles, play time and grooming. It was important to establish bonds with the cats and kittens coming in as many were rescues so some didn’t have the best experience with human interaction. It was also important to build this connection so that they were able to go to homes in the future. As I have my own pet, Nova, I am very confident with scheduling for food, cleaning, vet visits etc. I work early in the morning therefore am up for early feeding time and then free for the whole day. Before accepting any job, It is my priority to first establish a basic relationship with the owner and pet in a visit before the intended date. This allows me to meet the pet and learn their schedule/ behaviour and where everything needed is and make sure you are happy and comfortable with me too!

About: Hi, I'm Natalie! I've always loved animals and have had my own cats and dogs throughout my whole life. I don't think I've ever not had a pet at any point in time. I love cats and dogs both equally but currently have two Cockapoos, Fred is 10 years old and Ollie has just turned 1 so I have experience looking after senior dogs and puppies (at the same time) 😂 I've always looked after my friends and families pets when they've been away so have plenty of experience caring for animals. Really looking forward to looking after your furry friends and caring for them as if they were my own! 🩷 I'm self-employed and work from home so I'm totally flexible with availability. I can look after your pets any time of day or evening, whenever you need. I am happy to look after your pet in your own home so that they're happy and comfortable in their own environment. I can do walk-ins to check on your pets and feed them or walk them, or just to keep them company and give them lots of cuddles while you're away.

“Emily is lovely and really appreciative of she’s looked after my fur baby”

About: I have two of my own dogs who are 3 and 12 so I have experience taking care of puppies and senior dogs. I often walk my dogs as well as occasionally walk friends or family when they are away. I have experience taking care of cats as my neighbours all have cats and I often help out with them. I’m currently a student at the University of Bristol and I am available in the term time. I have a weekly timetable but I can fit dog walks or check-ins around that in the daytime as well as be available to house-sit in the afternoons/evenings. I am a calm person and seem to get a long with every animal I meet. I will take any necessary precautions to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: I have taken care of different dogs for a few years now. My family has a working cocker spaniel, and I have previously walked my grandmothers newfoundland. I'm currently a student so have flexible hours to work. I am available at different times each day and can work to fit in with your schedules. I currently live in a rented house that does not allow pets so would only be available for pet sitting/walking in the pet owners house.

“Excellent dog walker, very patient with our nervous dog, good communication, thanks”
