Dog Walking Heptonstall

About: I'm offering dog-walking, doggy daycare and overnight sitting in the Calder Valley. For dog-walking, I can collect your dog from your home, take them for an hour's walk and drop them back home. I can run or walk (and, of course, play Stick) with energetic dogs or do more chilled walks with smaller and elderly dogs. For sitting and day-care: I have a small fenced back yard for fresh air breaks but mostly your dog will be with me in my living-dining room, getting one to one attention - lots of games and cuddles. My house backs onto woods and fields for regular walks. I can look after older dogs who need regular toilet breaks (although my house does have steps up to it). I don't have my own dog (sadly, I can't commit to a full-time dog). I will never take on a second dog from another family without both families’ express permission first, so you have peace of mind that your dog will be my sole priority and there's no risk of fights and injury. My favourite breeds are the retriever and the sight-hounds families; I also love cockerpoos, daschunds and border terriers, in fact I’m discovering new favourite breeds all the time! I prefer not to take jack russells, akitas, rottweilers or dobermans. I work from home. I enjoy hiking, running and going to pubs and cafes, so if your dog is well behaved they can come everywhere with me. My garden is I fenced (I only have a small fenced yard) so I rely on taking the dogs for regular walks in the woods.

About: Currently I work part time from home teaching English online. I can only accept dogs that are happy to have 4 hours of downtime while I’m online! Outside of that I have a lot of time for walks and play, it’s really a pleasure to have a dog in the house, even when I can't commit to having my own full time at the moment as I often travel. Happy to have rescues / anxious dogs as I used to have a rescue Greyhound and we can offer a quiet calm environment at home. Also happy to arrange a meet and greet before hand so your dog can meet me before they come to stay and you can let me know their requirements! I usually work 9-1, so will fit in a 45 minute walk before this and a 45 minute walk after. I have breaks in between classes I’d anyone needs a wee break and happy to really do as many walks as your dog would like! I'm available 7 days a week for bookings, but don’t work Sunday or Monday for any higher energy dogs that I can’t accept when I have work. I have a small yard and no other pets, so your dog/cat will have reign of the house! I live with my best friend, Alex, who is also a big animal lover and mostly works from home so there will always be one of us free for belly rubs.

About: I am a trustworthy and reliable dog walker/sitter based in Todmorden, Calderdale. I have plenty of experience looking after dogs of a range of ages and breeds including a young German Shepherd, a Manchester Terrier and an elderly Alaskan Malamute (big dog!). I am comfortable with dogs of all sorts of temperaments and have experience caring for anxious dogs. I have a flexible approach so that you get the care that suits your dogs needs and ensure you get the level of communication you want throughout. I specialise in solo walks and ad hoc holiday care. I already regularly walk a staffy and look after a yorkshire terrior/jack russell cross on a weekly basis. A client quote: "Fran looked after Alfi while we were away for a long weekend, and we felt very reassured that he was in good hands. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for Fran. We will be using her again and again, and highly recommend others looks for a reliable and competent dog sitter / boarder" I currently regularly walk a dog at lunch-times (tues-fri). Otherwise i work part-time (and quite flexibly) from home so am very available to give lots of attention to any dogs in my care. I live with very close to lots of great walks as well! I'm happy for dogs to sit on the sofa if you are! i have spacious living room and kitchen as well as an enclosed yard. All my houseplants are high up out of reach a well as i've known a few dogs that like to try and nibble these!! If looking after a dog in the owners home i obvously treat it with respect and follow their instructions on the dogs home routine.

“Great care for my dogs. Professional, polite, understood exactly what my dogs needed and helped me with keeping their routine in place. Thank you!”

About: I have grown up around dogs so have the experienced needed to make sure your dog is taken the best care of. Wether big or small, a good boy or good girl, you can rely on me to walk, feed, bathe and sit your dog as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel like you're leaving your dog in capable and loving hands; your dog will be safe and have a whole lot of fun on outings with me. Sometimes I will even bring my own dog Yogy too so they can make friends. Reliable, affordable and providing your dog with walkie's that are easy for you. I have previous experience dog walking and currently my walking schedule is approximately 10am, 12pm and 2pm during weekdays. I never take dogs out in groups bigger than four and can offer private walks too. Weekends walks and sitting are subject to availability. It is of the upmost importance to me that your dog is safe whilst in my care. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home as to not unsettle them in different settings but am also able to care for dogs in my flat too. I always make sure my pals are well fed and watered with regular toilet breaks. Whilst on walks dog's remain on the lead until in an open space in a park or field where I feel comfortable to let them run freely. This is of course a conversation between the owner and myself as we access your dogs needs and confidence and so I will provide my method accordingly.

About: I’ve had cats all my life which I’ve loved and cared for. I’ve cared for neighbours/family dogs too (in their home and going on walks) as well as dog sitting on occasion, and would really really love to meet more furry friends! I work part time and would love for walks and caring for canines to become a regular part of my weekly routine. I don’t see pet care as work, so it’s a pleasure to balance alongside my current job. The dog’s happiness and safety is my number one priority. After learning the dog’s routine from the owner, I’m keen to do all I can to ensure it’s comfort and also make sure they have enough activity to not get bored!

About: I have been a pet owner all my life since I was you child to an adult, I look after my family’s pets when they go away and my friends pets as well. I have help out neighbours with their pets like vet appointment, dog sitting and taking their 4 legged friends on great walks around the area. I have a full time job where my shift patterns can be 5 days one week and 2 days the other which gives me plenty of time to spend with my dog. I have a back yard which is fenced off, I have 3 year old cocker spaniel called Luna which loves making new friends, she always has a smile on her face when she’s playing with her box of toys.

About: Hello, I am 35 years old and have taken care of dogs for as long as I remember. I have always loved dogs but lately I have also developed an interest in dog's behaviour and training and have taken some online courses. I am familiar with either small or big dogs and different breeds. My family and friends have dogs and often rely on me for looking after them while they are away. I am extremely caring, reliable and loving, but also very attentive, expecially when out and about for walks. When you leave me your fur friend, I want to make sure you feel comfortable and happy knowing your best friend will have the best care as if he/she was my own pooch. I work from myself as a Designer, so I'll have plenty on time to spend with your best friend, by going for long walks, playing, cuddling and if required a bit of basic training too! My schedule is very flexible, I am available for walking /sittings and/or boarding during weekdays and weekends, depending on my Rover calendar availability. We live in a very large apartment and it's only my partner and I, no kids or other dogs/pets. My partner, David, also works from home and usually joins me for a long walk at lunchtime to spend some time with your pooch as, like me, he is a dog lover and has a strong understanding of dog training too. However I will be the main one looking after your pooch as I am self-employed so can schedule my time around commitments. We live by the canal surrounded by nature, with plenty of long walks and parks.
