Dog Walking Hertsmere

About: Animals have been central to my life for as long as I can remember, growing up alongside dogs and cats and developing a genuine passion for their care and wellbeing. I began formally pet sitting and dog walking at 16, and have since built up years of experience caring for the pets of neighbours, family, and friends. I currently have two companions of my own. Gatsby, my two year old cavapoo, and Zelda, my 3 year old cat, both of whom I raised from puppyhood and kittenhood respectively. This means I'm well versed in the particular needs of younger and adolescent animals, from high energy play and socialisation to patience during those early settling in stages. Before Gatsby, my family owned Sancho, our Rottweiler, so I'm equally comfortable and confident handling and walking larger breeds. Having owned my own pets, I know deeply how much our animals mean to us, they're our family. That understanding drives my commitment to providing the same standard of love, attention, and care that I give to Gatsby and Zelda to every animal I take care of. Whether your pet needs a reassuring presence while you're away, regular walks, or simply some extra company, you can count on me to treat them as my own 😁 Having just finished university, I'm currently very flexible and able to tailor my availability almost entirely around your pet's needs. Whether you need early morning walks, daytime check ins, or regular weekly arrangements, I can work around what suits you and your animal best. I'm particularly available throughout the summer and can accommodate bookings at short notice where possible. As I share my home with my own dog and cat, I'm unable to offer boarding or sitting at my own property. This ensures no unnecessary stress for your pet or mine. Instead, I come to you, which I find is often the least disruptive option for animals anyway, as they get to stay in the comfort of their own familiar environment. For dog walking, I'm happy to accommodate early morning walks. Particularly important during these warmer summer months which I know can be tough on dogs. My own dog Gatsby is very friendly and can come along to keep your fur baby company if they would enjoy that. I own my own car, so I'm also able to take dogs to new and stimulating locations such as forests, nature reserves, and open parks, if they're comfortable with car travel and up for an adventure. Am happy to dog sit/walk for long periods of time if so (half-day, or full-day outings depending on the dog). I would accommodate the furry friend entirely on their own needs <3 I'm also open to house sitting depending on location and length of stay. Whatever the arrangement, my priority is always that your animal feels safe and genuinely cared for.

“Morgan is amazing! I was a little worried because I rescued Ioli 10 years ago. Even though she’s been with us for a long time, meeting new people is still sometimes difficult for her, probably because she was abandoned and abused during the first two years of her life. To my surprise, she absolutely loved Morgan from their very first meeting! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she felt so comfortable and happy. Morgan was kind, patient, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would!”

“Julia is so lovely with our Yorkie Sophie. We know Sophie is in safe hands. She always comes back from walks with Julia tired and happy :) Julia is very good with contact, and very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.”

Meghan G.

“Julia was great with Monty. She came to visit and walk him with a view to booking future walks and house sitting. Unfortunately Monty injured his paw on our driveway running out to greet her and could then go for a walk but Julia helped me to inspect his paw and played / spent time with him inside instead.”

About: Since losing my dog a couple of years a go at the grand old age of 15, I’ve been looking after pets for friends and family since. I live right next door to a lovely park, plenty of fields and trails. Happy to put the mileage in if your pet requires it. I’m patient and dogs seem to love me. Happy to help with training also. I work from home at present and I can pick and choose my hours. I can adjust my routine to suit your pet if needed, no problem at all. If your pet is unsociable I can walk early and late if necessary. I have a large flat with a safe and secure balcony. I am 30 seconds away from a park, 5mins away from fields and there are a number of trails and woodland walks close by. If required to sit in at your place, I am clean, quiet and respectable. Happy to be adaptable to your pets needs. Whatever it takes to make the feel safe and secure.

About: While I don't have formal pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for my own senior cat, so I'm well-versed in the daily routines, patience, and love that pets deserve. I'm a massive animal lover across the board and am just as comfortable keeping a dog happy, walked, and entertained as I am looking after felines. I know how tough it is to leave your pets behind, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same care and attention I give my own. I have a highly flexible routine which gives me plenty of dedicated time for pet care. I’m fully available for boarding and sitting over the weekends, and on weekdays I am free anytime after 2pm to focus entirely on walking, feeding, and playing with your pets. Whether looking after your pets in my home or yours, safety is my top priority. I focus on maintaining their exact feeding and walking routines to keep them happy, and I always ensure doors and gates are fully secured. Your pets will receive constant attention, love, and care

About: Hey! My name is Sena, I’m a lawyer working part time in the city, now based in Radlett where I get to enjoy the outdoors and spend more time around lots of animals. I grew up in a home with several pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. I’m confident, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! :) At home I have a 14year old ginger tabby cat called Simba, who has been with me since he was a kitten and a 4 year German Shepherd cross Akita named Ralph :) Ralph has helped me build strong experience in handling larger, energetic dogs, I work Tuesday- Thursdays in the city. My partner and I alternate our work from home days so Ralph and Simba are never left alone Your dog will be looked after in a calm, loving home with plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, plus regular walks in the local open fields here in Radlett for exercise and fresh air. There’s lots of playtime, interaction, and company depending on your dog’s personality and energy levels — whether they’re active or prefer a quieter pace. I’m happy to follow all dietary requirements closely and stick to your dog’s normal routine. Brushing and basic grooming can also be included if needed. To keep things stress-free, your dog will be kept separate from my own dog, Ralph, so they can fully relax and feel at home in a calm environment.

About: I am currently a 3rd year Veterinary Medicine student at the Royal Veterinary College in Potters Bar, in between my studies I have a lot of time to help out with any pet care you require. I have over 12 weeks of work experience at animal rescues, kennels, and catteries over the past two years, which has given me a solid understanding of animal behaviour and appropriate handling of different breeds. Additionally I have many weeks of petsitting/housesitting experience which I would be happy to provide references for :). At home, I have a high-energy english pointer and have had cats my whole life but sadly living away whilst at uni means I miss my pets a lot, a house without a pet definitely feels empty! I also previously worked in a vet clinic for over a year, therefore have good communication and professionalism skills - you can guarantee I will reply promptly and provide a professional service! I understand that sometimes you want to give your pet the best life possible but it can be difficult to fit around a busy schedule, that is why i’m here to ensure that your pet gets everything they need while you can carry on with your day! I have a car so can travel to wherever you are located + can take your dog out if needed (I have a dog guard), which is important for veterinary emergencies or also just to go on a fun walk! I am currently studying at university, however, I have a lot of spare time during the week. Since each day has a different structure when I am available can vary slightly but I can very easily structure when I am working around when you need help! The evenings and the weekends are the times where I am the most available to book. At home, my pointer gets a long walk (1hr+) in the woods or fields once a day. Being high energy, she needs a long stimulating walk to run off some of that energy! She gets fed immediately after the walk as she is very non food motivated and will only eat when shes starving! At home she sleeps a lot and then gets her second rush of energy in the evening, this is where we tend to mentally stimulate her by playing with her and getting her to do tricks. Her and my cat are very close and can often be found snuggling together during the day or in the evening. My cat is abnormally large for his breed which means he’s a bit more prone to injury and doesn’t have the best breathing but now he is older he is mostly interested in snuggling with you and occasionally playing (while laying down usually).

“Amazing walker. Our dog loved meeting Dani and would get excited every time she came round! The walks were carried out well, with pictures and a full Rover report card sent through. Contact with Dani was very good, with prompt replies. Highly recommend.”

About: My family has loved animals ever since I was little. When I was very young, we had three large dogs at home. I learned how to look after them. From an early age, I was in charge of refilling their water and food bowls, and sometimes helped my parents bathe them. We still have three dogs at home now. One is a Teddy that we have raised for nine years. The other two are puppies around three months old. We brought these two puppies over from my grandma’s house, and I even watched them being born. Therefore, I believe I have extensive experience caring for dogs at all life stages. I have just graduated from university and only work part-time, so I have plenty of free time most days. This allows me to dedicate lots of time to things I love, such as looking after cats and dogs. I’m more than happy to care for dogs during my free hours: any time before 11 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Spending time with pets will bring me great joy. If I take your pet back to my home, I promise to follow these rules strictly: First, I will keep the lights on at all times so the pets won’t feel scared. Besides, all doors and windows will be fully closed to guarantee their safety around the clock. If it is a dog, I will take it out for a walk every three hours to let it burn off extra energy. If it is a cat, I will play with it, and I have plenty of cat toys at home for it to enjoy. If I come over to your house to care for your pet: To start with, I will fully respect your privacy. I will send you photos of your pet, but I will never take random pictures of your house as we agreed. In addition, after spending time accompanying your pet, I will take away all food waste I generate. I will only leave after sending you photos to confirm your pet is safe and sound.

“Buddy really enjoyed his walks with you, thank you”
