Dog Walking Cotswold

About: I have always had cats growing up and I’ve also cared for a variety of animals (including dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs) for many families within my town. I am fairly flexible due to recently graduating and now taking time to find a full time job. I am happy to do drop ins, walks or stay in your home any day of the week. I am comfortable learning your pets specific needs and commands as I understand how important a routine and consistency is for them. I am more than happy to communicate through messages and pictures as often as needed while you are away to ensure your confidence remains with me during my care.

About: I started Dog Walking for Neighbours at 10, Pet Sitting and helping neighbours with horses from 14 and then Housing Sitting from the age of 16. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs and horses of all sizes and ages, from young animals through to seniors. I also have experience caring for rescue dogs and horses, so I understand the extra patience and care they can require. With every dog I’ve owned, I’ve attended training classes, and I even showed my rescue Border Collie, Ollie, who won first place in both the County Agility competition and the “Most Handsome Hound” category. Growing up, the family pets were primarily my responsibility, so I’m very comfortable with everything from puppy care and training to looking after older dogs with changing needs. I’m more than happy to get stuck in with muddy walks, messy paws, and all the less glamorous parts of pet care too! I’m 27 and have recently moved to the area for work. At the moment, I’m unable to have pets of my own as I live in shared accommodation and occasionally travel for work. I’ve really been missing having animals in my life, as they’ve been a huge part of my daily routine since I was a child. I currently work a 9 to 5 in transport logistics with a half day on Fridays, 12pm finishes. I am happy to do early morning walks and then afternoon and evening walks. Back home, I’m out til 10:30pm with our family dog so happy to do late nights. I am unable to do lunch walks or visits Monday to Thursday. I have no weekend commitments so would schedule my Saturday and Sundays around the pets schedule to maintain their routines. I have my own transport with a clean drivers license and have been driving for 10 years with a National Trust Membership, if you as a owner is happy, I am more then happy to take your pet off to nearby areas for them to explore. I will comply with all owners requests for their pets and these will always be my first port of call when it comes to care. If I am ever unsure, I will ask, communication is very important to me as I know when away from my own pet I am always thinking of them.

“Sophie is absolutely amazing and I could not recommend anyone more 🙌🏻 Sophie could not have done anything more when looking after my boy and I was completely reassured during my time away for each walk! He was the happiest of boys and I know he will be so excited to see her again in the future 🧡 thank you!!”

“George went above & beyond when walking Kobe for the first time. He was on time, gave our boy a really good walk and helped to clean him on his return. Our relatives that were here when he came to walk our dog said George was lovely - friendly & professional. The walk was recorded on Rover and we were very impressed with the level of detail provided. Will definitely be using George again!”

“Thank you Annie for letting Hera take you for a walk around her favourite stinky spots and introduce you to her snack-dealers in hi-vis! She was very happy when I got home.”

“Rakhee was great with my collie Ted, she had him behaving like an angel and he came back tired but happy. She was interested to listen to all of his nuances and was careful not to over do things in the heat. She communicates really promptly and is really super to speak to. I would recommend Rakhee to anyone.”

About: Growing up in the countryside, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and have since spent years caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and feel very at home around them. I also have my own dog, who is one of the loves of my life! With many years of experience, I’m confident handling pets of all ages and sizes and understand the importance of consistency, safety and attentive care. Friends, family, neighbours and clients have trusted me to walk, feed and care for their pets for many years, and I first began house sitting at 17. Since then, I’ve looked after a wide variety of animals, each with their own personalities, routines and needs. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers quiet company, or simply someone to stick to their usual routine, I will care for them as if they were my own. I’m always happy to send regular photos and updates throughout my stay, so you can relax and enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, settled and receiving the very best care in safe and capable hands. Please note that my own dog will never accompany me on walks, visits or house sits, so your pets will always receive my full attention and care. I’m self-employed, work from home and am currently between projects so have a little extra time on my hands and happy to help out where needed. Because I run my own business, I can be flexible with my time so am happy to work around your schedule and pets routines as best as possible. I can sometimes be flexible around weekends for walks and drop-ins, so please do still get in touch even if you see a date unavailable. I’m more than happy to discuss these directly with you on a case by case basis. Whether your dog loves a nice long walk, playtime with their favourite toys, plenty of cuddles, basic training, or simply having some company during the day, I’m happy to tailor my care to suit their personality and routine. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, daytime companionship and overnight house sitting. If you’re heading away for a night or a longer trip, I’m also happy to provide extended stays so your dog can remain relaxed and comfortable in the familiarity of their own home. I’ll make sure they’re well looked after, given lots of love and attention, and kept to their usual routine as much as possible. My aim is always to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in experienced and trustworthy hands.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, I love every single dog I meet, no matter how bizarre, shy or crazy they are. I treat them as if they’re my own whilst also keeping their safety and happiness as my first priority. I’ve also been in Tanzania volunteering at Moshi dog rescue for the past three months helping with dog walks, grooming, feeding and general cleaning withinn in the sanctuary. This experience has just made my love for dogs even more intense. I work part time as an on call care manager, but I have plenty of time outside of work. I can also drive, so I’m happy to commute to wherever your fur baby is! I keep the owners home cleaner than they left it and clean up any mess whilst having fun with your pup! I will send regular photo/video updates to ensure you they’re in safe hands. I make sure that your home is fully secure and will not leave your dogs unattended for long periods of time!

“Marianne is absolutely lovely. Gave updates on Rolos walks. Will definitely use her again”

“Loki loves Maddie and it’s such a good feeling knowing your dog is in good hands. Before the walk, I mentioned that Loki had just had a bath. Immediately, Maddie started thinking of a route that wouldn’t be muddy. She’s very conscientious and reliable.”

“Lewis and his partner followed all of my (probably over the top) instructions and took great care of my pups! Will definitely be booking again.”

About: I have an 8 year old female Cocker Spaniel. Experience with drop in visits to friend’s dogs. New to Rover as a sitter myself. I am a teacher by day working 4 days a week. Mondays are my free days so have full availability on a Monday to suit your needs. I have a small fenced in garden. My garden does have astro turf. I can drive so happy to travel with your pup or to walk in your local area.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life, dogs, cats, horses… you name it! And i love every single one of them. I have trained my puppy and she is an angel. I have cared for friends and family’s dogs and cats many times, this includes, walking, washing, feeding and of course fussing!!! I’m currently in the process of trying to make this my full time job which means i have a lot more play time available and would love to spend that with my fluffy friends! I have a fenced back garden which is plenty big enough for more furry friends. I have a dog crate if needed and can provide food and water bowls if required. I live in a safe neighbourhood surrounded by countless fields for beautiful walks.

About: Growing up I was brought up with cats however, about four years ago I dog sat a friends dog, whom she had puppies which we now have Bowie. I therefore have a lot of experience in regard to pets but I am definitely the annoying dog mum now! I’m a full time dog walker and boarder and therefore can accommodate solo and group walks. Bowie loves the company at home and on walks. We live in a terraced house with a secure garden. We have plenty of dog bowls, treats, toys and sofas to allow dogs on. Some days the dog field is booked to accommodate certain customers.
