Dog Walking Fordingbridge

About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 10 years, and more recently cats. I have extensive experience working with all sorts of dog breeds from small breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Jack Russells & Dachshunds to larger breeds including Golden Retreviers & Labradors. I have also fostered a dog in the past for over 7 months, taking care of his needs and ensuring he was looked after while his owners were in the middle of a house move. I own my own dogs, a Jack Russell & a rescue terrier, pug cross. I’m currently working part-time as a dog walker & dog sitter, so I have plenty of time to look after and walk your dogs, giving them the best times possible, trying to work in plenty of fun time and also enrichment When I stay at an owners home, I ensure that I follow the dogs routine to make sure it stays as close to their normal schedule as much as possible. I try to treat each dog as I would my own, giving them fun activities, fuss, treats where allowed and lots of cuddles if they like them.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, walking, bathing, brushing, drying and feeding them all, ive also had walks with 2 dogs at once with no issue. I've dealt with big old Labradors to energetic spaniels. I'm also currently doing a dog grooming and training course. I'm a student; I often have free periods, holidays, and quite a bit of free time. I have wanted to start getting out more, and dog walking is the best way for me to do that, in my mind. I'm unable to let dogs stay at my home sadly but I'm happy to stay at your home, to drop in, walk the dogs. I'll follow any instructions you guys give as you know your pets best.

“Eleanor is really responsive, reliable, on time and our dog loves heading out for his walk with her. Would definitely recommend.”

“It was my first time using Kirsty & she was lovely. Great communication, flexibility & reliable. I’d definitely recommend her & use her again.”

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and absolutely love using Rover as it allows me to spend time with all your lovely pooches whilst I am unable to get a dog of my own. I have experience with many breeds, including Dobermans, Labs, Pointers, Terriers, Cockapoos and Dachshunds and I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Keeping dogs happy, stimulated and exercised is what I love. From long morning walks to engaging daytime games and evening cuddles on the sofa you can trust your dog will be having a great time and I’ll of course be sending you lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay. I am a fully remote worker so I can offer boarding at my house (provided dogs are house trained) or I can do stays at your house. My partner (also a huge dog lover) will occasionally join me on these stays. I am a remote worker so I am at home all day to care for the dogs. So walks and doggy activities are planned around my work schedule (morning walks, lunchtime play in the garden and evening activities). My only requirement is your dog needs to be well-behaved during down times as I will need to be on work calls during the day. I have experience with all sorts of different personalities so will largely follow your direction and usual routine. I know the area well and choose my walks carefully based on how reactive they are with other dogs. Regarding my house, we have a secure garden for them to explore.

About: Hi everyone! I’m Anya and I absolutely love animals. I have experience as a Military Working Dog handler which means I’ve worked with lots of different breeds, temperaments and needs. I’m also about to start a part-time role as an Animal Care Assistant with the RSPCA which will give me even more hands on experience. I adore spending time with animals whether it’s walks, playtime or cuddles and I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy and loved. I treat them like my own and love getting to know all their little quirks and personalities. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Walks and playtime slot in easily around my schedule and I always make sure to plan my day so pets get the attention, exercise and companionship they need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk or an overnight stay, I’m flexible and happy to build my routine around keeping pets happy and cared for. I make pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routines and paying close attention to their needs. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I provide a calm, pet friendly environment with plenty of enrichment and supervision. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and making sure owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Klaudia saved our day! She was available on short notice for 2 x 30 minute walks with our little Cockapoo (she even kindly extended the walk time as they were having a good time!). She kept us updated and reassured making the whole experience stress-free whilst being away from our pup 🙌🏼 We would certainly use Klaudia again ☺️”

About: I have volunteered at animal shelters from a young age and have administered medication before and worked with very nervous and distressed animals and have built a trusting bond 🥰 I work remotely so i have all the time to be with your pets. I just work from my laptop and I am my own boss so nothing demanding. I can attend to all your pets needs 🥰 I can sit all day and evening with your pets and give them plenty of cuddles and let them out when they need to go out and feed them at their scheduled time, no problem 😊

About: I am a highly experienced dog owner. I am qualified in doggy First Aids (see certificate) and I have enhanced DBS clearance (see certificate). I recently retired from Deputy Headship. I have owned and cared for dogs for more than 45 years. My current dogs are lovable, well trained but barmy labradoodles. Both have had 2 litters and I have learnt much about doggy behaviour and training by raising the 32 puppies. If you chose me to care for your dog/s, I will lavish the same care, attention, love and professionalism on them that I do for my own. I am fully retired so I will have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention that they deserve. I am happy to attend, daytime, evening or weekends. My garden is secure and my pets are able to roam within my boundaries. I always pick up after my dogs and would do the same in your garden. When out walking the dogs will be on leads except by specific arrangement with the owner.

I am DBS checked and cleared . I ensure your key is kept in a safe place when not in use. My car is equipped with pet first aid box , bowls/water and extra leads. I have vehicle business insurance

About: Hi, I'm Jaz! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've spent 13.5 wonderful years with my soul dog, Mika the Husky, caring for her through everything from endless energy as a pup to her final year battling cancer. I've also owned a rescue Husky called Titan and fostered an incredibly anxious 35kg Spanish Mountain Dog named Tommy for a year, giving me experience with large breeds, strong personalities, behaviour issues and high-energy dogs. I've looked after numerous dogs, cats and small holdings through house-sitting assignments across the UK and Europe as well as for family and friends. My sister owns a frenchie called Frank, and my mother-in-law has a Jack Russell called Lola, and I love to look after these two. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I'm currently based on a private campsite in Burley, in the heart of the New Forest. The site isn't open to the public during the week, meaning it's a peaceful, quiet environment with plenty of space and beautiful walks right on our doorstep. Perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring, sniffing and spending time outdoors. Whether it's walks, playtime, medication administration, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, we'll care for your pets as if they were our own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away or at work. After losing my last dog Mika in the summer of last year, I am very excited to have a furry friend around again 🫶 I'm a freelancer working from 'home', so I'm able to fit in pick ups, walks and feeds whenever works for you and your dog. The campsite I live on is closed to the public in the week, so your dog will have plenty of space to enjoy all to themselves. I am surrounded by a fence so they won't be able to escape into the New Forest national park but I can open up the gates and head for lovely long walks through the forest and to water. I also have a beach close by if they'd prefer that setting for their walks. And I have our own shaded space plus the campervan, for keeping them cool on hot days or dry on wet ones!

“Friendly and caring. Thank you”

About: I have had small and large dogs all my life, and for the last two years have been offering dog sitting in their home for my friends and family. This has included cockapoo, Himalayan sheepdog and retriever, to name a couple. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, pick up their mess, and keep the dogs happy, safe, and active. My absolute aim is to not unsettle the dog, keep routine in their home, stimulate, play but always mindful of the dogs happiness and the owners wishes. Recently i have looked after both very old and special care needed as well as very boisterous large dogs. Owners have always been extremely happy and looked to rebook me. I work around any dog I may have in my care. If I take on a piece of work, then that will take priority over any personal plans. I prefer not to have the dog at my home. The least change is possible. Therefore any doggie daycare will be in the owner's home and I will take out for walks from there or in a nice walking spot.

About: Use this code to get £20 off for your first booking!🥳 https://www.rover.com/sit/gamzea77030 I have cats since I am 4 years old, we had always cats in our garden and house. I have a paralysed cat since 8 years which he needs really a carer to change his pads and opening his bowels. Since im in the uk, my dad looks after him. I was studying for Veterinary Nurse and i had 4 months of intern experience in a pet hospital. I haven’t finish my study but I had a lot of experience. I have a connection between cats and I cannot imagine my life without them. They have a special character and I love to see them around me. Im working full time, I have 3 days off a week and available half of the weekdays. Im happy to get them after or before my shift/or while I am not there my partner can play with them! I have years of experience as owner and student of vet nurse. I can understand the way of their body language and their needs easily.

“William has been fantastic - reliable, considerate (sent us dog photos of the walk every day we were away). He is easy to work with, cheerful and professional. The dog was excited to see him every day and was happy and relaxed when we got home. We would definitely recommend his services.”

About: Having recently retired from the Fire and Rescue Service after more than 35 years of dedicated service as a Fire Investigation Officer and Specialist Search Dog Handler, I am now offering reliable, professional 24/7 pet sitting services. I live in the heart of the New Forest, where I spend every day exercising and enjoying the outdoors with my two retired Fire Service dogs, who are now much-loved family pets. As a lifelong dog owner with over 20 years’ experience training and handling dogs alongside both the Fire and Police Services, I understand the highest standards of canine care, welfare, and behaviour.

Whether you need overnight care, extended pet sitting, or regular companionship for your dog, you can be confident they will receive experienced, compassionate, and professional care in a safe and trusted environment. Having retired from the fire service and being the owner of 2 pet dogs living in the heart of the New Forest I spend every day out and about in the fresh air with my beloved k9 companions. I live in a detached property within a quiet area of Fordingbridge with an enclosed front and rear garden covered by cctv. I have access to lots of nearby walks and can access the New Forest within 5 mins from my home address.
