Dog Walking Falmouth

About: I’m a marine biology student who misses her black lab from home, lots of experience looking after friends dogs for extended periods of time. I’ve just finished my degree and am now working part time. I am home during the day most days and am flexible in my availability. I have a fenced garden and no other dogs in the house. I will listen to and stick to your instructions, caring for your dog the way you know is best!

About: Having had a number of pets my entire life, (hamsters, fish, dogs!), my love for animals has been such a huge part of my existence. This has continued into adulthood, with my family having a litter of puppies which we took care of, living with my partner who has cats and dogs and enjoying caring for both our families pets as well as friends and extended family. House and pet sitting is something I have continued to grow over the last year, having been to many different countries, I have used Trusted Housesitters whilst living in Australia, building up a number of reviews and experiences with cats and dogs, both senior and medicated to young and energetic! Primarily outside of family animal care, all pet sitting I have done has been day and night care, boarding and daily check ins. I am an avid walker and garden lover, and enjoy spending my days reading, exercising and in the sunshine. I enjoy looking after pets this way as we get to spend ample time together and it is hugely beneficial to both of us. I am primarily based in Shrewsbury and am open to pet sitting of all ages and breed. I am currently working part time (remote work) so I am freely available on my days off or am available even on working days as I can bring my work with me! I am an avid walker and available to schedule sits around my working commitments as they are flexible. I am also fully available on weekends. I will always stick to the requirements of pet owners when offering a service at a pet owners home. I always try to stick to the pets routine, where possible, including feeding, medication and walking (if needed) routines. If the garden is safe for use for pet play then this will be a great space to use, if animal care needs to be outside of the house this is also taken into account. I always strive to maintain morning and evening routines and care with regular toilet breaks, bedtime routines and sticking with bedtime rules (such as where the pet sleeps). For overnight sits I am more than happy if the pet sleeps on the bed - whatever the pets preference I am happy with! For dog walking services, I will always respect lead use unless specified by owner specifically, it is my duty that the pet is returned safe and sound so my preference is always to remain on the lead unless specified by owner

“Another great few walks with Kyal - thanks so much for taking such great care of Albie (and sharing such fab pics)! I’ll definitely book again.”

About: Ben and I love dogs so much! We’ve been dog sitting since 2019 (though new to Rover!). Your pets will be treated like our own - completely spoilt with fusses, playing and big walks. We work from home and walk our dog twice a day for an hour each time (though can also take them separately if a less active walk is preffered). We have an enclosed garden filled with dog toys for them to roam freely and just have infinite love and patience for our doggy friends. Stick throwing, river paddles and lots of cuddles can be expected. We also love cats (I grew up with 6 - 3 at my mums and 3 at my dad’s) so really happy to do visits for either or sit in your home to keep them company. We’re flexible, reliable and responsible. We bought our house in Falmouth last year so very much here to stay and can be a holiday home for your dog or a reoccurring sitter as it suits you. We work remotely so can spend time with nervous doggies in their own homes to make them as comfortable as possible or keep cats company during the day too. We can have dogs with us (as long as they get on with ours) overnights or just for the day and can do walks as well. Our home is very dog friendly with dogs allowed on sofas and beds. We also really don’t mind sandy or muddy paws. Dogs come first in our house!

“Mat came over prior to walking Bobby to meet him, which we really appreciated. Matt is very friendly and easy to get along with. Bobby liked him instantly. Matt has great communication. He messaged me and sent a picture of Bobby enjoying his walk. We have booked him again for this week and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.”

About: I have personal experience with giving pets medication/shots and high-anxiety dogs - my own dog is extremely anxious and I have found many ways to calm her. I have had a cat and a dog since I was 5 years old (a Bengal cat and a Hungarian Vizsla!) and have been surrounded by lots of different animals through my friends and family. I am currently doing an internship, but I can do this remotely, so I can work from anywhere at any time! I enjoy walking especially in different areas of cornwall and going to the beach and swimming - I am trying to do this at least once a week throughout the whole year! I am a very loving person who will happily play and cuddle your animal (if it is comfortable). I am also very flexible in energy levels - I can easily be both high energy and low energy depending on what the specific animal wants and what it is best for it :)

About: My name is Rose and I run this account with my Boyfriend Jago :) We are both Marine biology students, and miss our dogs at home! I've spent the last 9 years looking after and training my own black Schnoodle at home, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes for friends and family. We are both confident with feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well looked after. My boyfriend and I both work part time, meaning someone is always around to ensure your furry friend is never alone! We are both very active (meaning lots of W.A.L.Ks) and are always spending time outdoors, adventuring to new spots when we can. My garden is fenced, meaning lots of space for sniffing outdoors and having fun. Also living in a safe neighbourhood, evening walks are no problem!

About: I grew up in a cat household, which means I spent the first part of my life being quietly judged by animals who refused to fetch anything. Then a few years ago I got a labradoodle puppy and switched sides for good. My current schedule doesn't suit having a dog of my own, so I get my fix by walking other people's. I've looked after dogs at both ends of the temperament spectrum: several years with an anxious pup who taught me patience and compassion are non-negotiable, and regular walks with my sister's spaniel, who operates at exactly one speed (fast, chaotic, delighted). I'm based in Falmouth. Reliable, attentive, and I'll send you a photo update so you know your dog had a good time. I work freelance, often from home, so my schedule is usually pretty flexible. I'm always keen to get away from my desk and explore somewhere green - ideal for dog walking! I'm happy to come and care for your pet in your house and make sure it's well looked after and receiving some surrogate love

About: I've always had pets for as-long as i can remember, cats when i was a newborn living on a boat, then whilst growing up.. a goldfish, then a hamster, 4 guinea pigs and for the past 10 years, my dog. So far I have cared for 15 dogs and counting and look forward to each and every new one to both brighten my day and give them the most awesome break away from home they could hope for! My cousin also use-to own a big dog boarding business and my friends have had dogs and puppies so i have experience with many different dogs through many different stages of their life. My dog has long hair (Shih-tzu) so i have had to brush, comb and wash him many times, thus i have experience and can do this for your dog also if required. I mostly work from home, thus i am avaialble most of the time for dog boarding, walks, sitting etc. I have a flexible schedule around the work i do so i can be flexible to your requirements. I have a closed off yard for pee breaks outside of walk time, i have one friendly Shih-tzu, i can seperate or crate them etc if needed.

About: Throughout my whole life I've owned multiple dogs, cats, hamsters and ginuea pigs. From walking and bathing family pets to friends and neighbours to staying over night or popping round when need to feed/ toilet time. I absolutely love all kind of animals and willing to help for what services you need. I am currently a uni student, but very much missing my fur babies from home!! My love for animals is never ending, instead of looking for a job I may not like I would love to spend my time with lovable pets!! My classes throughout the day vary but I am available everyday at certain times and every evening! I will spend time with your pets, giving them the one on one time they crave or for those older pets I will offer them a safe space to relax and enjoy soft pets, while following all rules set by owner!

“Ruby was great. She came for a meet and greet before the day. My nervous large dog was fine with her as she has a very calm nature. She walked them and dried them off. Very caring. I would use Ruby again.”

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life, from strays to kittens, at one point we had seven ! I also have experience house sitting, baby sitting and dog sitting. I’m currently back from travelling and searching for a more permanent job so I can completely work around any schedule needed. I’m happy to cover hours during the day, walks, or overnight stays ! I only offer services currently out of my own home as we have a cat and a tortoise that would be particularly against a canine visitor ! I aim to create a secure and trusted environment so you can travel/work/holiday stress free without worrying about the pets at home :)

About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, I have taken care of 4 dogs since I was 8. My love for them keeps growing with the years. I have taken care of any animal found abandoned on the street or badly treated, for me they all deserve care and love. I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries so I feel confident to take care of any sort of dog or cat. I am used to having lots of pets around, I love to walk them, cuddle, feed and bathe if needed. I am used to all sort of ages and breeds. I’m a freelance writer and I work mostly from home. I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week. I share my house with my two friends who both adore animals and would give them much love. I miss my family dogs very much and taking care of your pet would make me so happy. I am always looking forward on spending some time with a four legged friend! I have a quiet backyard, it has a lovely shade and it’s very peaceful, so it is perfect for a day sitting. For the night I am happy to have your pet over unless it’s a big dog then I would prefer staying over at the owner’s home. I am very tidy and respectful, I will leave your house just as I have found it and I do believe the animal will feel safer being at their own home.

“Charlie loved Helen from the offset. Helen communicated well and Charlie looked so happy in the pictures she sent of their walk. I was confident that Helen was taking good care of Charlie!”

“Perfect sitter! Ellen is lovely, and took great care of my greyhound, Milly. I’m usually so fussy with anyone taking Milly out, but Ellen was so thorough, reassuring and competent! I’m sure Milly will be looking forward to future walks - thankyou!! 😊”

About: My own dog, who is now 10, is my pride of joy. My life revolves around looking after her and she truly is a family member to me. I have taught her all of her tricks and habits. I did get lucky with her intelligence but having looked after other peoples dogs I have worked to train them too with great success. I am a very patient person who brings a calm and inviting demeanour to dogs, becoming their comfort base when we are in busy areas. I absolutely adore getting the privilege to look after dogs and I treat them how I treat my own- like family. I have experience dealing with aggressive animals, oral medication, cleaning of wounds and infections, elderly and young pups. I am currently a University student at home for the holidays so am available every day. My schedule will revolve around the dogs and can accommodate your needs. I live in a safe neighbourhood with a fenced in garden and plenty of space for the pet to have free roam of the house. They are welcome on furniture including the bed, but if you would like them to remain crate-trained I can also easily accommodate that.

“Poppy arrived promptly and immediately struck a great pairing with (also) Poppy. Poppy would be very happy to see Poppy again :)”

About: I’ve always grown up with all kinds of dogs around me. Looking after my own dogs and also looking after/pet sitting my friends dogs when needed. Growing up I was taught to be kind but anware of their different temperaments and needs. Having a collie X who was calm and gentle and would keep to herself that at times (before she got old) would decide she didn’t want to walk any further to a terrier X that is needy and insecure but lots of energy and neurotic about playing with his ball. I also have my dog walking insurance as well. I work in a bar/cafe where I have flexible hours and a few days off a week. So when I’m not working I have quite a bit of free time to be available for dog walking. I currently don’t own a pet where I am living but my family home had 2 dogs. One collie X and a terrier X. The collie was an old dog which I would give short gentle walks ,depending on how keen she was to walk, but the short walks would mostly result in taking a long time as she was always stopping for a sniff and had problems with her hips but I’d always make sure the walk would always be for her enjoyment. Then the terrier X is only 2 years old so a lot of energy taking him out for an hr each time, varying my walks each time to make it interesting and fun for him.

“First time using Olly! Absolutely brilliant! Really polite, caring and ultra positive. Great feedback. Highly recommend :) fellow dog loverrr”
