Dog Walking Christchurch

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.

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

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.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a cocker spaniel called Harry who is a lovely dog and is a bundle of energy! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends, neighbours and volunteering over the years. I currently work at a school full time so my availability is mostly during weekends and evenings but during half term and summer holidays I am always available! A dogs safety is the most important thing and this is what I shall prioritise. I would love to take dogs to fulfilling yet safe environments, in which they can have a comfortable walk.

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

“Klaudia looked after Simba over the weekend for me, she kept me up to date and sent pictures and he was happy and content when I got home from work. I have already booked her again.”

About: I have looked after dogs and cats around the world for many different companies and families. From pit bulls to Shit-Zou’s I have a wealth of knowledge in caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. Currently working from home so I’d happy to help walk, sit or check in anytime. I can go for walks on my lunch break (very flexible), before, and after work. We have a fenced off garden so happy to let dogs use the bathroom out there in between walks. Please provide food, bedding and leads/collars for their stay.

About: Hi, I'm Jaz! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've spent 13.5 wonderful years with my soul dog, Mika the Husky, caring for her through everything from endless energy as a pup to her final year battling cancer. I've also owned a rescue Husky called Titan and fostered an incredibly anxious 35kg Spanish Mountain Dog named Tommy for a year, giving me experience with large breeds, strong personalities, behaviour issues and high-energy dogs. I've looked after numerous dogs, cats and small holdings through house-sitting assignments across the UK and Europe as well as for family and friends. My sister owns a frenchie called Frank, and my mother-in-law has a Jack Russell called Lola, and I love to look after these two. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I'm currently based on a private campsite in Burley, in the heart of the New Forest. The site isn't open to the public during the week, meaning it's a peaceful, quiet environment with plenty of space and beautiful walks right on our doorstep. Perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring, sniffing and spending time outdoors. Whether it's walks, playtime, medication administration, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, we'll care for your pets as if they were our own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away or at work. After losing my last dog Mika in the summer of last year, I am very excited to have a furry friend around again 🫶 I'm a freelancer working from 'home', so I'm able to fit in pick ups, walks and feeds whenever works for you and your dog. The campsite I live on is closed to the public in the week, so your dog will have plenty of space to enjoy all to themselves. I am surrounded by a fence so they won't be able to escape into the New Forest national park but I can open up the gates and head for lovely long walks through the forest and to water. I also have a beach close by if they'd prefer that setting for their walks. And I have our own shaded space plus the campervan, for keeping them cool on hot days or dry on wet ones!

About: I have loved dogs and all animals from a young age and always wanted a dog but didn’t get my own till 2015 and have always looked after other friends animals from parrots to cats and dogs Im currently working part time but will have plenty of time to spend with your loved ones and live 5 minute walk from the beach. I also have an enclosed shady garden. I am happy to visit your dog and play or to take them out for walks either on their own or with my very friendly frenchie. I have a fenced garden and my own furry friend to keep yours company and I am sure they will become best friends. I have looked after other dogs a lot since having Alfie and he is used to having other dogs to stay

About: I have a genuine love for dogs and hands-on experience caring for them. I previously had two dogs of my own, and I looked after them with full responsibility and care throughout their lives. This experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to understand dogs’ needs and behaviors. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. 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’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.

“5-star review! Ro is absolutely fantastic! Super friendly and responsive. She went above and beyond to ensure my dog was happy and cared for. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi, I’m Savanna- a lifelong animal lover with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats! As a pet parent to two wonderful dogs of my own (Paco and Crumpet), I know just how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s dog walking, cat sitting, or daytime care, I treat every pet like my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. 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! I can provide home visits and/ or dog walks- please reach out with your requests 🙂 I have a gentle and calm approach to all pets, and have experience with nervous dogs. I can crate a dog where needed. On walks I'm happy to have dogs on or off the lead in line with your preferences 🐾

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:)

About: 🦮 Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs. From the moment I was born, my Mum introduced me to Kim, our Golden Retriever, by setting me in the middle of the floor and letting her introduce herself. We were the best of friends from that moment and that’s truly where my love for dogs began. I love being around dogs and am consistently trusted by family, friends and new pet parents in the UK and abroad in the (current) absence of my own! 🐕 We had the pleasure of taking on a challenging and lovable rescue Labrador, Sam, when I was 11. This is where I started to take on dog care responsibilities beyond just giving love. Whilst I shared the general care of Sam, I took on taking him to obedience and agility classes which really helped me build the foundations for understanding human to dog connection and controlling behaviour. 🐶 Since then, my care for dogs has extended to helping out with family and friends, as well as using dog and house sitting opportunities whilst travelling Canada. Here is an insight into just a few dogs I have been entrusted with: - Caring for Ryleigh for 4 weeks: a reactive rescue who is challenged by new people and other dogs. She is on a strict anxiety and joint medication schedule. Sensory games and stimulation is an important part of her day to day. - Doggy day care for Nebby: a Golden Retriever puppy with boundless energy. Long walks, games in the park and lots of attention keeps Nebby content. - House-sit care for 4 Shih Tzu crosses for two weeks: perfect chaos with this characterful quad. Each of them received equal love and attention and are fabulous company. Walking in pairs was important here!! 🐕‍🦺 The care of your dog is my biggest priority. From feeding and walking, to playing games and cuddling, I do everything I can to allow you to leave your companions with ease. I have experience with separation anxiety and nervous dogs and my experience with different breeds is growing. I have administered oral medication to dogs and cats, and whilst I have not yet had experience with injections, I am very happy to learn. 🏠 I prefer home visits and sits where I feel dogs are more comfortable in their familiar environments. I am a hybrid worker, offering the most flexibility from my days working from home. With enough notice will do my best to flex my working week to accommodate the care for your furry best friend(s). 🫶 Please do get in touch should you wish for your dog to receive my care and love, or for any more questions about my services. 🗓️ For a typical working week; I am a hybrid worker with 1-2 days a week working from home. My work from home days can be flexible with enough notice. I am available to walk dogs locally most mornings before work and would offer flexibility for some post work/evening walks from 5:30/6pm. Lunchtime walks/visits could be possible depending on locations. Southbourne and Charminster areas are ideal for this. I much prefer seeing dogs comfortable in their own homes whilst their parents are away. I feel the familiarity for them is important for the quality of care, so I am happy for house-sit dog care in your home. In certain circumstances, I am open to taking annual leave with notice to care for your pup! Please do enquire and I am happy to chat through your requirements. 🧘The wellbeing of your dog(s) is my highest priority. It is important to me for you to feel most comfortable leaving your pets in my care. I have lots of experience caring for dogs in their homes. Whether it’s simply dropping by for a comfort break, a play and feed or taking them out for a stroll, I will be sure to give lots of love and attention!
