Dog Walking in East Dunbartonshire

“Cammie is a great dog walker. He really took time to listen to how we walk Archie when we went on his first walk and took all the advice on board. Archie responds to him really well and he loved his long walk. Cammie is dependable and friendly and very trustworthy. Highly recommended!”

“Carla has been and is amazing! She listened and took on board all of my dogs silly ways and she now has a great bond with my dog. She updated me after every walk and sends pictures and any updates that I need. Which is highly appreciated. She is reliable, friendly and trustworthy.”

“Margaret was great with my two dogs. They really took to her, even the dog who is usually quite timid with anyone outwith the family. Definitely recommend and will be using her again.”

About: Hi, we're Kathryn and John. We are a couple living in Glasgow with our 2 pets, a cat and a dog. Kathryn has grown up around dogs and has had a few in my life so far. John has had cats for years and we are both big animal lovers. We currently have a 2 year old Goldendoodle named Luna who will be friends with literally anyone who looks at her lol. If your dog is friendly and would like to have a companion on their walk, Luna will happily tag along. If your dog is not so keen on other dogs, Luna is perfectly happy sitting at home on her own for an hour or two so she won't be offended lol. We have trained our own dog to be very well behaved on walks and are more than happy to follow any rules or specific training you have with your dogs to keep them safe and happy throughout their walks. Kathryn is in a wheelchair with a sturdy leash attached for our own dog, so John will be the one who will collect your dog for their walk if there are any stairs involved. Neither of us work so we are free pretty much 24/7. Our daily routine includes taking our own dog for 2-3 walks a day and standard daily household chores. On Wednesday evenings, John is playing away from 5:30pm-8pm. On Thursday evenings, Kathryn is away from 5pm-9pm. On Friday evenings, John is away from 4-7pm. These are the only times where it would be one of us walking your dog is required. Any other time, there will be 2 of us (3 if Luna is allowed to join lol) We do not offer boarding in our home due to us having a cat as well who will not be friendly with strange dogs in the house.

“I'm so glad I chose Jokha to walk my dog Billy! She was flexible and understanding of his needs, but most of all she was really sweet and caring to him😊 I will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Kelsy had walked my elderly mum's spaniel. Kelsey truly loves animals and my mum's spaniel loved her instantly. I found Kelsey to be a friendly, warm and caring person. My mum has dementia so it's was very important for me to get the right person. I needn't have worried as my mum loved Kelsey the minute she met her. I will definately book Kelsy again. I'm very glad I found her and so is Monty dog 🐾🐾”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I lost my own dog of 12 years last April, so I know how much pets mean to people and how important it is knowing they’re in safe hands. Since meeting my partner, his dog took to me straight away and we’ve become really close — I spend most of my free time with him. I’m used to both big and small breeds, including Border Collies, Staffy/Akita mixes and Cocker Spaniels. I also help care for family members’ and neighbours’ dogs regularly, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping them company. Dogs usually warm to me very quickly and I genuinely just love being around them. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, care and company they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m always happy to fit my routine around their needs and keep them comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I’m very attentive to routines, behaviour and making sure pets feel relaxed in their environment. I’m experienced with both large and small breeds and understand that every dog is different. Whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, long walks, playtime or just giving them company and reassurance, I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

“Isabelle was so accommodating in taking a last minute request and her communication was excellent from the start. Murdo my dog seemed very relaxed and happy with her.”

About: I have lots of experience in pet sitting for neighbours, taking care of everything from birds and rabbits to cats and dogs! I am a huge animal-lover and have had two beautiful doggies of my own for the last four years. I am experienced in puppy training and will do everything I can to make every experience as enjoyable as possible for your pet. I am currently studying at University and I have a fairly flexible schedule, so I have plenty of opportunities to help you out with your pets! I have four years of experience in dog care from having two little furry friends of my own! I am experienced in managing dogs with a bit of anxiety and I am more than happy to amend each walk to cater for any preferences (no cars, fewer people, etc.) to reduce stress and make the walk a positive and happy experience for both of us. I will provide regular communication and updates throughout the time I am spending with your pet to let you know how we are getting on and put your mind at ease!

About: Hey! My name is Jay and I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. I am reliable, caring and committed to keeping your furry friend fit, happy and loved through personalised care tailored to your pet’s needs. I have experience walking dogs since the age of 11, I’ve also had plenty of experience caring for other pets including small animals, cats, and dogs. I am fully insured and pet first aid trained. I have also researched and educated myself on pet behaviour and how to provide safe, confident care for all animals. I have finished school and taking a gap year so have plenty of free time to fit around your schedule! I can do early mornings from 7:30am onwards to late nights and overnight care. I have a front and back garden which are fenced and live right next to a big grassy field which is great for a run around with dogs. I have an open space for dog to roam freely indoor. I am happy to stay at the pet owners home or bring the pet over to my place, whatever works best.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and love to look after friends and family pets. I’ve housesat farms and enjoy the outdoors walking and playing with other people’s animals. I’m currently writing books from home and a homemaker to a primary age boy. I can work within school hours after school clubs and weekends. I love animals and have great patience as-well as lots of energy. I have 3 friendly cats at home and parks nearby. A community garden at hand and plenty of energy to exercise your pups and can look after them however you would like me too.

About: For the last few months, my housemate and I have taken in friends' dogs to stay for a few nights and we've LOVED it. One of my best friends does rover too and he always invites me round when he's looking after dogs so we can go on walks together. I've walked big dogs (biggest was a greyhound) and wee ones on parks, round the neighbourhood and out and about in the hills. I live around really good walk spots: the canal, the river, kelvingrove, ruchill park, botanics. When the dogs stay for just the night I'll take them for a wee walk in the evening and then a big walk in the morning. I've also gone over to other people's flats to mind their pets for a bit, so I figured might as well sign up here! Xx At the moment, I get every Wednesday off and two weekends a month. As such, I can always take the pets the Tuesday evening or Wednesday for the full day. Same goes for the weekends, when I'm off I'll be able to look after your pets for the full day and take them on my walks I normally go on anyways. We've got wooden floors with rugs, and one of the rooms is carpeted. The pets are allowed in all the spaces (two bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge), and they've all got their own favourite place to hang. I live on the first floor of a tennements. We've got a fenced garden at the back, and the close also has a fenced area. It's me and my housemate in the flat, and for days in we'd both be looking after your pets. In the past I've taken dogs to Ruchill park, Kelvingrove, along the canal, the river and the botanics. Some dogs I'll let off lead if there's enough space (ie queens park) and if I know their recall is good. Though I normally err on the side of caution and keep them on lead unless I'm absolutely positive. For food I just follow whatever the owner tells me! We keep a waterbowl on the kitche floor permanently, and add the food when appropriate. I've gotten wee doggy muffins at a cafe before knowing the wee one could have it.

“Darren walked my dog daily for two weeks when I broke my ankle. He was quick to respond to in-app messages and always prompt, helpful, reliable and good with Rosko. I would happily use his services again”

About: With my Dad who races pigeons and an Auntie who rescues dogs and used to volunteer with The Dog's Trust, I am one of the lucky ones who has grown up around animals their entire life. We kept budgies and rabbits, a dog and a cat. I had neighbours who asked me to look after their guinea pig, and another who asked me to look after their Yorkshire Terrier, I have wide experience with different animals and on different terms, including overnight stays and daily meal time visits, or just as a companion for a few hours. My boyfriend is always catching me talking to various dogs and our cats when we are out on walks. I'm currently working from home as a freelance photographer which gives me a pretty flexible weekly routine. I live close to a number of parks for walks, but also close to public transport for home visits.I As previously mentioned, I have been entrusted with things like staying overnight to look after a friend's cats, dropping by to check in with pet wellbeing and keeping them company for a few hours and dishing up meal time. Additionally, as someone very fond of nature, dog walks are something I really miss about moving to the city from the Scottish Highlands where I grew up with said cat, dog, rabbits, budgies and pigeons.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I am experienced with large dog breeds mostly and happy to assist with training if needed. I currently work from home full time and will be on maternity leave for 12 months from December so will have a flexible schedule to fit many needs I have a fenced garden with artificial grass, stones and paved area. I live near many nature walks and parks which are easily accessible for adventures with pups

About: I’ve always had an affinity with animals, predominantly cats and dogs. Currently have a 3 year old patterdale terrier I’ve trained myself. She’s super sociable and great with anxious dogs. I’m currently working part time from home and have time to look after more animals. Already I am out and about often with my own pup who is quite the adventurer. Happy to spend some time looking after more pets. I will treat your pet as I would my own, they will have space if they want to chill on their own or are more than welcome to hang out together.

“Thanks again Demelza for looking after Dougall and love his reaction when you photograph him! He looks forward to seeing you and your care is exceptional and appreciated. Fiona xx”
