Dog Walking in Harrogate

“Diane is lovely, as is her partner Matt. We met ahead of the walk to do an intro with Lola and it’s clear they have a love for animals.”

“Mark was AMAZING!! He took care of two dogs during our civil ceremony and was just extremely helpful and happy with the dogs!!! Can't thank him enough!!”

“Heather has looked after my dog Mojo twice and he is always excited to see her. She is professional, friendly and also punctual. Thank you”

“Ewelina responded to our message immediately and was really friendly and helpful from the start. She was great with our dog and he obviously had a lovely time with Ewelina and her family. She sent messages and pictures throughout to give us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Emma goes above and beyond to make sure our nervous and sometimes stressed dog is happy and well card for. I couldn't ask for anyone better to look after her. Thank you”

“I wouldn't hesitate to use Jo again.”

“Anita is one of the very few I would trust with my dogs. She has extensive experience with XL Bullys and doesn’t discriminate any breed, which makes her a fantastic trusted person for XL Bully owners especially. She truly has a passion and love for all dogs and is a very responsible and serious individual when it comes to caring for dogs.”

About: I have been around working dogs since I was a child. When I was younger I had the ambition of being a veterinary surgeon and so had to gain animal experience to apply for the course. This included farm work, doing multiple weeks at 2 vet's practices and over a year and a half dog walking for the RSPCA. Since moving to Harrogate many years ago, I have walked and looked after 30 + dogs in the area; including house-sitting and drop-in visits. My job requires me to have a current DBS check in place. I am confident with big dogs as well as small ones and would happily meet beforehand to hopefully put your mind at ease. I am free on weekends all day, although do visit family etc on these days but not on a regular basis. I mostly work from home (usual office hours). I can walk the dog before and after work, combined with play and scent work during the day. Usually, if I were lucky enough to look after your dog, this would involve lots of outdoor exercise (providing the dog is able to). I live very close to the Stray in Harrogate, so if needed it would not be far to quickly bring him or her home briefly for a drink or rest. However, I do drive so would be comfortable walking / looking after wherever your home is. Rover now encourages you now to message more than one person, this is a new feature and it isn't necessary, as I do reply quickly. I take great pride in my reviews and the service I offer. I have so much dog-handling experience and lots of common sense!

“Andy has been a godsend for my busy life and my Dorkie just loves him! Andy is reliable, flexible and clearly enjoys being around dogs.”

About: I love the outdoors, and I have always adored dogs as long as I can remember. I am reliable, professional and enthusiastic. I am surrounded by green spaces, perfect for dog walking I am available most weekdays, in both mornings and afternoons. I work from home and walking my dog has been part of my daily routine over the past six years. I can do one hour walks if you prefer. We have a spacious dog-friendly and safe garden. We are a non-smoking family. We have a 1 year old Beagle called Hooper who loves the outdoors. He is not allowed upstairs but is allowed cuddles on the sofa at weekends.

About: I've been a receptionist at veterinary practices for coming up to 8 years now & friends and family have relied on me for housesitting their furry family members. As a part-time online student, I allocate specific time slots throughout the day for essential pet care activities such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime. Additionally, I plan my study breaks strategically to include quality bonding time and activities, which helps both of us relax and rejuvenate. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I provide attentive feeding, exercise, grooming, and playtime, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment, while following specific care instructions.

“Steve and I grew up together, and have known each other for over 60 years as there is 2 days between our birthdays, Steve is a great friend, he is generous, caring, reliable, and dependable and I would trust him with my life, I can't think of anyone else who I would trust more with my doggy and my doggy is my wife and i's best friend . You couldn't find anyone more better than Steve for this task”

“I arranged for Roberta to look after my dog, she came round to meet Ernie ahead of the walk and take him on a little walk with me, She was lovely with Ernie and took on board all the care instructions , I felt completely comfortable leaving Ernie in her care . Unfortunately I had to cancel the arrangement through unforeseen circumstances but will definitely rebook.”

“Ilona has looked my dog many times now. She is caring and looks after her really well. With lots of exercise given. We get regular photos and videos during the stay. My dog gets so excited once she knows she is going to Ilona’s house! I would always trust her to look after my dog.”

“Sarah has been brought up with dogs her entire life. Whilst at home she lived with rescue dogs, who were lurchers. We also had Yorkshire Terriers. Once Sarah left home, she then got her own rescue dog, Missy who was the softest Staffy ever. Missy sadly passed away before Christmas 2022. Sarah has always looked after family dogs, whilst we went on holidays. Sarah would care for other people's dogs like they were her own. Sarah has a caring and compassionate nature. And I've had no doubts in recommending Sarah to anyone who requires their dog looked after in a homely setting.”

“Isla was the perfect sitter for Inca! We received updates throughout the day of Inca on walks and relaxing at her place. We would happily recommend Isla to take care of your dog. Will definitely use again!”

About: I have grown up in a house hold with many pets and looked after lots of dogs including with walking and some overnight stays. I have always loved animals. I’m a student so when i’m at home I can be around 24/7 which makes this perfect for me. Having also recently lost my grandparents dog I am missing the company of a dog. I have a large fenced in garden as well as have private fields adjoining to my house. I also have lots of free time to spend with them.

“Kim is one of the biggest pet lover I know, she has a soft, kind and caring heart and would go out of her way to make your furry pal feel comfortable, loved and cared for away from home”

“Laura was amazing with Bella and with us, very accommodating and gave us updates and pictures every day. She came to meet bella prior to us going away to make us feel better and Bella seemed to love her. Made us feel a lot more relaxed about going away without her and we will be coming to Laura in the future when we next need a dog walker. Would definitely recommend to a friend:)”

About: For the past 9 years, I’ve helped take care of a family dog before moving into my own home two years ago. I now own a 1 year old friendly border collie, Toby which I have had the pleasure of owning since he was 8 weeks old. I couldn’t now not imagine a dog being in my life! I work full time Monday-Friday, finishing at 5pm so would only be available for evening walks or on weekends. There may be flexibility if my partner would be able to help as he has different working patterns. We have a large garden available for your dog to explore, which is fenced and very safe. As we have a dog of our own we always make sure all areas throughout the house are clear of any hazards.
