Dog Walking Christchurch

“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: I grew up with a loving English Bull Terrier who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be -also helping with family friends conquering their fears of dogs and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years l've looked after friends' and family's dogs while they've been away, making sure they're fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I'm a naturally caring person and I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they're having their own little holiday too. Im in full time employment split up over the week however, my hours are very flexible during varying Monday - Friday just get in touch and we can find a time that works perfectly. I'm really careful and attentive when it comes to pets. I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and settled. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep an eye on things, and make sure the environment is calm and secure - doors checked, no hazards around and plenty of time spent making sure they're happy - treating them with the same care and patience I'd give my own.

“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.”

“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!”

About: I have had pets for most of my life, from Staffordshire bull terriers to cocker spaniels. I have taken care of my pets from pups all the way through to their senior years and therefore have experience caring for puppies just learning their commands, to geriatric dogs struggling with their mobility, and everything in between. I have also had the privilege of looking after my friends and families dogs. I am currently working part-time from home so will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am happy to take boarding over weekends. I have a fenced garden so your pets can go out into the garden whenever they want. I also live in a location with lots of lovely walks nearby. No other pets currently live at the property.

“Chris has been a lifesaver. He stepped in to walk our Lab at very short notice and was perfect. Winston really loved him and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and using him again (and I’m quite picky about who I trust with our dog). Huge thanks Chris”

About: I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, which is great because it means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I can be available whenever you need me. This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.

“Ro is super lovely and loves dogs! She took our Labrador, Gus out for a couple of long walks and sent us some pictures of him having a great time swimming and playing. She also stayed with him whilst he ate his food and had a drink. Very pleasant to chat to and made sure all of our requirements for Gus were met. Great experience booking Ro and will definitely book again :)”

I also pay close attention to routines and any special care instructions. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have been dog sitting for over 10 years now. I usually have dogs stay with me in my home but I have in the past stayed at owners homes too. I'm young and fit so happy to go on long or regular walks. I own my own business so I'm very flexible and can dedicate a lot of time to dogs. Dogs are rarely left on their own in my care. My home is secure with an enclosed garden by and dogs have full run of the house. I also have transport for trips to the beach or for emergencies. I usually only look after one dog at a time, or more than one if they are from the same household. I don’t have any pets of my own. I am flexible with work so I can work around the dogs needs. I don’t usually look after anyone else dogs at the same time. I live in a house with a secured fenced garden and they have full run of the house. I respect any rules and training methods owners have set for their dogs at their or my home.

About: My husband and I have Pepe, we regularly dog sit for our friends when they go on holiday. However I will be caring for your pets alone and won’t have any assistance. I have a car, know lots of good beaches, woods, fields. I’m a staff nurse, meaning 3 days on, 4 days off a week. Plenty of time for walkies. I have a car, and know plenty of walking spots. I know the area well, I already do welfare visits for my friends’ dogs, plus dog sitting and walking. Let me know if you have any questions:)
