About: I had my own little pooch growing up for 14 years and he was my little sidekick. I have a lot of experience in looking after different sizes and breeds of dogs and loved making new friends. The aim is to look after and love all the doggos out there before I settle and get my own! 🥰 I currently work 30 hours a week at my job with 2-3 days off. I am part of the management team meaning I can be quite flexible if needed and can definitely make time for rover as I am very passionate about it! My days off/ shift patterns are not always the same also meaning I can make myself available! My flat does not allow furry friends into the building unfortunately 🥹 I usually go to the owners house and hang out with the beautiful doggies there! I always make sure the owners are up to date and try make it as stress free as possible for them as I know how it can get! I take lots of pics and videos to provide for the owner and love being out in nature so will tend to do a nice long walk( if your dog is up for it obvs!) or equally I can snuggle on the couch and have a movie day with your dog/cat!

About: My family always had a dog when I was growing up, along with other pets. I attended dog (owner) training classes and learned the skills of dog training. As I've grown-up I've continued to own dogs, and understand the stress of leaving a pet home alone when going to work, or out to a place you can't take your dog. I am experienced with puppies, mature, and senior dogs. I am winding down my business and have more time on my hands to serve people like you who need help in ensuring their pet is comfortable, and looked after when they are at home on their own. I ensure your best friend is fed, walked, and given water to their agreed routines. I learn and follow your rules when in your house, and when walking your dog. I only walk one client's dog(s) at a time, on routes you are comfortable with, and they get my total attention.

“Leah was amazing with my two retrievers at short notice. Leah’s communication was great and she looked after my dogs with care. 5* highly recommend.”

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.
