“Throughly recommend Allie. She arranged to meet us both the day before to get to know Molly and find out from me more about her likes and what to be aware of. She kept in contact with us, which enabled us to really enjoy our day knowing Molly was well cared for. Thank you Allie. We will be back next year to see the golf again.”


About: I’ve been mama to our sausage dog Hamish for seven years. He’s battled IVDD so I’m experienced in caring for IVDD survivors and understand the challenges small dogs face. I’ll give your small dog the care and attention it needs and will care for it as if it’s my own. Contact me for weekend availability as required. I might be able to accommodate some weekend stays / visits. I’m currently freelance and work from home. I set my own hours and totally flexible so I can look after up to two small dogs in my house giving them ample play time and pee breaks as needed. I live near fields and cute walking paths meaning your dog can enjoy all the smells of nature! For cats I can drop into your home for cuddles, comfort and chunkies. I have a secure garden for toilet breaks and plenty blankets and beds for naps. I have ramps up to the sofa and a no stair policy to protect delicate small dog backs - my dog is an IVDD survivor so safety in the home is really important to me.
About: I'm Jess, and dogs are my absolute world. I've always had dogs in my life. As well as agility training, I'm also an experienced obedience handler, skills trainer and Pets as Therapy handler. I am an all-weather dog walker, offering tailored walks to suit your dogs needs. Whether it's a short round-the-block followed by fun and games at home, or a longer run to burn off some excess energy, there really is no walk too big or small. Experienced and confident with reactive dogs, sensitive dogs, high-energy dogs, and everything in between, I pride myself on my ability to understand dog behaviour. I will let your dog get to know me at their own pace, and only ever use positive, motivating, reward-based training. I cannot wait to meet you and your four-legged pals As a teacher my availability is pretty much matched to school term dates, with evenings, weekends and school holidays being the best times for me to visit, walk and look after your dogs. I'm delighted to be able to accommodate dog boarding and house-sitting so that you can provide your dogs with the bespoke care they need while you are away. For those that come to me I offer a lovely house with a secure garden, and a real home-from-home experience. Equally happy coming to you, I am a clean, tidy, quiet and respectful guest.

About: As a part-time dog walker with a love for all animals, I ultimately aim to spend as much of my time as possible caring for them. I have a lifetime of experience caring for both cats and dogs, which has provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the needs of different pets. With my own 3-year-old dog Milo, and 5 month puppy Maple, I’m skilled in managing the daily care routines of dogs of varying ages! Further, I now have experience in managing a multi-dog household, caring for dogs of different ages and managing both their expectations for a happy outcome. Pet care in my daily routine involves balancing my dog's needs. This includes exercise, feeding, training, and providing companionship, all while ensuring both pets feel secure, loved, and well-cared for. Ultimately, I stick to the dogs routine. It is so important that animals in my care receive the same level of attentiveness as they would their own owner. This involves feeding routine, walking, toilet breaks and play time.

I’m available for walks on Saturdays, Sundays, and every second Thursday each month, plus weekend boarding from Friday evening to Sunday evening. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I have a friendly cocker spaniel puppy named Shiloh, so your dog will have built-in companionship (if they enjoy other dogs) and a home that’s already set up for safe, happy pup life. I keep a calm, cozy environment and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and sleep. There’s always plenty of supervision, affection, and playtime, plus quiet space if they prefer to relax.

About: My love of dogs have grown from a very young age - from collecting magazines every week out the newsagents with a small dog teddy attached and reading all about the breed of the week to growing older and being able to mind my family and friends dogs. I have always had a love for dogs I have walked, fed, bathed and played with family and friends pets whilst they were on holiday.

“I cannot recommend Jassy highly enough! She is an absolute gem. My pup adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s incredibly caring and attentive, always ensuring my dog is safe, happy, and well-exercised.”

About: I absolutely love dogs. I have had them since I was young. I've always looked after them when my parents were away or at work. I've also looked after friends pets when they were away which involved walking and feeding them. I have had quite large breeds of dogs and also looked after smaller breeds so I can look after any size. I am at university at the moment so it will have to fit around my timetable. I am happy to do anytime in between those times. You can message me with any queries and I will see if I can move my schedule around. I can spend alot of the day with the dog at the owners home and take them out for walks and feed them. I have a young dog so I am good with all ages. I can also do overnight stays.

Buster and Bella’s new best friend, they love their walks with Allie. Reliable, great communication, very good updates and pics from every visit. I was reluctant at first never having allowed anyone else to walk my beloved dogs. However Allie has proved to be exactly what I needed, would highly recommend.
