Dog Walking Elms Vale

About: Hello! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover with life time experience looking after my own cats, as well as caring for cats, dogs and hamsters belonging to family and friends. Although I haven’t owned a dog myself (yet …it’s on the horizon!), I’ve always loved being around animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m calm, responsible, active, and happy to follow your dog’s routine and any specific instructions to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I absolutely love animals and know how much they mean to the people they share their lives with, so I’ll treat your dog or cat with the same care, kindness, and respect that I have given my own pets. I also have an enhanced DBS check for extra peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re apart. As a self-employed creative freelancer, I have quite a flexible schedule, which means I can often fit around walking and drop in pet-care (maybe other pet sitting in the future) I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only take on bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I really do love all animals, so I can also drop in on cats too! And I have also had a hamster when younger and looked after others hamsters too. I am open to looking after rabbits and birds and alike but do not have direct experience with them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion - warning I will probably call them a sausage! …What makes your furry person happy makes me happy! 😊 My week will change each week as I’m self employed, so I work pet care around my work. But I will never take a booking when I know I’m down to work near that time. But i can do early mornings from about 7AM until about 6PM (sometimes a little later the summer). All days - working round my various hours in-between. I will always ensure your fur person is kept as happy and safe as possible whilst in my care. I will always look out for risks and hazards and minimise them where possible. They are the priority above all else. I will sent photo and text updates of my visits/walks. Your keys will always be kept safe and returned at the time and place of your request. I shall treat your home as if it where my own, going only places I need to, taking my shoes off if requested, cleaning up anything animal related and if I’ve needed a drink washing up my glass! 😊

“Krishen arrived on time and got on very well with Millie on the walk. He was clearly in tune with her and understood that she would stop and sniff at irregular intervals. We've booked the next walk already.”

About: I’ve had many different pets throughout the year, I would treat your pet as good as I would treat my own, I would cater for individual needs of the pet I’m looking after. I am looking to do this as a full time job Monday to Friday but if late nights and weekends are required this can be arranged. Pets I am looking after will have the best care I can offer. They will be cared for as I care for my own animals. I am fully insured by Protectivity

“We could not be more grateful for Jasmine’s time with our dog Leia. Jasmine took the time to ensure Leia was happy and enjoying her time. Jasmine incorporated her family time to Leia and made Leia feel a part of the family for a walk together. Leia wore a smile every day for the week that Jasmine had her and loved her company. Jasmine used her expertise to ensure Leia walked calmly and to her commands. We are lucky to have Jasmine both for us and for Leia. Thank you Jasmine. 10/10.”

About: I offer a highly versatile, confident, and reliable approach to pet care. My experience spans the entire spectrum of the canine world, meaning your dog—no matter their size or personality—will be in expert hands. ❄️ Arctic Sled Dog & Pack Experience I have unique, hands-on experience managing a pack of working Huskies during a sledding expedition in the Arctic Circle of Sweden. This involved looking after my own team and assisting with the wider pack in extreme conditions—handling everything from feeding and harness management to understanding complex pack dynamics and high-energy behavior. 🏡 Gentle Care for Smaller Breeds While I'm entirely confident with large, high-energy breeds, I am equally experienced in providing the gentle, attentive care required for smaller dogs. I have extensive experience looking after two small dogs, meaning I completely understand the finer details of small-dog care—from keeping a watchful eye on them around bigger dogs to managing their specific exercise routines and making sure they feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly pampered. Whether your dog needs a high-energy handler who can match their stamina, or a calm, comforting companion for cuddles and structured routines, I adapt perfectly to what they need. As a part-time personal trainer, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to your pets. Because fitness is my job, I have the stamina and energy for long, active walks, making me the perfect fit for high-energy dogs who love to explore and burn off energy! I can easily structure my day around your dog's specific routine, feeding times, and exercise needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I treat their property and their routine with the utmost respect, ensuring doors are locked, feeding schedules are met precisely, and the environment remains calm. On walks, my background as a fitness professional means I am alert, physically strong enough to handle large or pulling dogs safely on a lead, and fully focused on keeping your dog secure and happy at all times.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets, primarily dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I am passionate about providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care! My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic medications, cleaning living areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I have cared for pets of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. Through these experiences, I have learned how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in stressful situations, and adjust care routines based on each pet’s specific needs. In addition to daily care, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent schedules, monitoring health changes, and communicating clearly with pet owners. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and the well-being of every animal in my care. Whether it’s ensuring proper portion sizes at feeding time or providing engaging exercise during walks, I approach every responsibility with patience and dedication. Pet care has strengthened my sense of responsibility, time management, and attention to detail. Most importantly, it has reinforced my belief that animals deserve kindness, respect, and dependable care at all times❤️ I have a very flexible schedule so please feel free to book on any day of the week and I will do my best to fit your fury friend in for walks, day care or over night stays! When caring for a pet in an owner’s home, my first priority is maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own space, so I make every effort to follow the owner’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. Consistency helps reduce stress and keeps the pet feeling secure. I always ensure doors, gates, and windows are securely closed to prevent escapes, and I double-check locks before leaving the home. I keep harmful items such as cleaning products, small objects, or unsafe foods out of reach. During walks or outdoor time, I stay alert to surroundings and use secure leashes or harnesses as instructed. Cleanliness is also very important. I regularly clean food and water bowls, refresh water daily, and keep litter boxes or living areas tidy. This helps prevent illness and keeps the home environment healthy for the pet. I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, appetite, and energy levels to quickly notice any changes that could signal stress or health concerns. If I observe anything unusual, I communicate promptly with the owner. Above all, I treat the owner’s home with respect and their pet with patience, kindness, and responsibility. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving the owner peace of mind knowing their home and companion are in safe, trustworthy hands.

About: Hi there, I grew up surrounded by horses cats dogs fish and hamsters and love them all. I’m a regular cat sitter currently and resting between acting jobs so ready to go. I work part time as a supporting artist in films so pet care work fits in perfectly with that. I’m also used to getting up very early so any need for dawn feeds/ walkies etc won’t be a problem. I always follow care instructions to the letter, especially locking up a front door etc.. I double and triple check to make sure. That might be a bit OCD but better safe than sorry.

About: I have been fostering dogs, old, young, and sick for 5 years. We adopted our lurcher 2 years ago. He is a playful 2 year old, so I need to use treats/ and discipline quite a lot. I have had dogs growing up, and just love to be around all types of dog. I’m at home most of the time. Not currently back at work after maternity leave. I take my dog out at least once a day. So can fit something in most days! I have a fully fenced garden and gate. The house is open plan, however if you need your dog cornered off or my dog cornered off we have baby gates everywhere to help with that.

About: Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I am passionate about all animals and throughout my life I have had all kinds of pets with a lot of experience of caring for dogs and cats. I also have good knowledge of birds, reptiles, and small furry pets. I live with my husband in Dover, we currently have our own dogs, fish and a parrot. They are part of the family. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around the local countryside and coastal areas. I treat every pet like family. I’m confident with puppy care, basic training, and keeping to routines, as well as understanding the calmer support that senior pets often need. For cats, I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, and respecting their individual personalities — whether that’s playful companionship or quiet reassurance. My goal is always the same: happy, safe pets and peace of mind for their owners I am available every day for drop-ins, playdates, walking for all your furry friends. Mornings, evenings and weekends with at least three days notice 🐾 I am professional and caring and have worked in social care for over 20 years, good communicator and very flexible. Available for Dog walks, drop ins, feeding and socialisation. Happy to arrange a meet up and short visit/walk for peace of mind and a pawsome experience for your fluffy friends, please get in touch. Respectful of owners wishes and property, ensuring all pets are well cared for and always safe

I am now retired and have the time to give your dog the attention it needs, from long walks, cuddles and chill time. You can be rest assured that you beloved pet will be looked after. Being retired means that I can look after your dog five days a week and I am available from early in the morning until late in the evening.

I also live 2 minutes away from Connaught Park where I will take them for walks as well as other nearby walks.

About: I grew up with Boxer dogs, and have experience house sitting and dog walking. I enjoy long walks along the coast, and would love some 4 legged company. If you would prefer us to stay indoors, please let me know what music and TV they enjoy, sometimes it helps to have something you watch on in the background. I'm currently working part time, I enjoy morning walks, and would love a 4 legged friend to join me. I have alot of flexibility, and can be avaliable at short notice. For walks, it is good for your dog to meet me, and see how we get on. I always have doggy bags and treats! Ask as many questions as you need to.

About: I have a wide variety of experience with multiple animals such as dogs, cats, horses and smaller - such as rodents! I’m happy to handle large dogs also. I have a diploma in land based animal studies and have completed a level 2 pet first aid course. I’m fully insured and dbs checked. Currently, I only have a few pets that require my care! My dog gets walked once a day and is crate trained so I have a few hours available during the day for walks and pop ins. Overnight stays, she would be cared for by my lovely family! So she won’t be neglected while I care for your furries. I will always go over your routine (if any) with your pet to ensure their day to day life isn’t changed too much. I am more than happy to administer any medication, crate your dog or make sure they’re only in specific rooms you allow.
