Alan was great with my dog Winnie! He met her prior, was kind and patient as she can be shy, kept me updated, and sent adorable pictures of Winnie and his dog Poppy on their walk. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My mum was a licensed 5-star dog breeder, and I spent years helping her with rearing puppies, daily care, socialization, feeding, cleaning, and handling dogs at all stages of life. This lifelong exposure has given me strong confidence, hands-on skills, and a deep understanding of dog behavior and needs. I’m calm, reliable, and comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. Dogs have always been part of my life, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I am currently the owner of two dogs, my pride and joy. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and couldn’t imagine a world without them. I’m very knowledgeable in almost all aspects of pet care, and I take great pride in providing safe, loving, and responsible care. Animals aren’t just a job to me — they’re a genuine passion, and I treat every pet I look after as if they were my own. I take care of my dogs at home and provide them with adequate potty breaks , mental stimulation, love and affection , just everything they need to feel happy and content . I would like to help others who cannot provide there dogs with enough mental stimulation and exercise .

About: I grew up on a farmhouse in the Czech Republic, surrounded by animals from a very young age. Our home was always full of life with rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats, and a dog. One of my favourite memories is going on long walks with our German Shepherd, Risa, which helped shape my love for caring for animals. After moving to England, I really missed having animals around me, so I decided to volunteer with Blue Cross. There, I gained hands-on experience caring for cats in their pens, walking dogs, and socialising puppies. This taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs, as well as how to make animals feel calm and safe in new environments. I also regularly look after my friend’s pet rabbits, taking them outside and bringing back in when it's time for feeding, also administering medication when needed, which I am confident and comfortable doing. At home, I share my life with two indoor Bengal cats who I absolutely adore. I work from home, which means I spend a lot of quality time with them playing, enriching their environment, and training. My cats also enjoy supervised garden time on a lead, so I’m very mindful of safety and gentle encouragement. As I work from home, I enjoy a change of scenery, and caring for pets is the perfect fit. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love building trust with animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who treats them like family, and that’s exactly how I care for every animal I look after. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I have plenty of time and presence to give your lovely pet the care, attention, and companionship they need throughout the day. I can do my work while your pet is resting, so they have my full attention when they need it. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, following your guidance closely so they feel safe and settled. I focus on maintaining routines, offering companionship, and giving each pet the attention and care they need, while treating your home with respect.

About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes but have particular 'live in', walking, and training experience with large bull breeds. I am experienced with everything from high-energy play time to grouchy, older pups who just want to lay on the sofa and boof at the world. Available for walks, house sits, and drops in - I also have experience with giving medication should you need someone to pop by and administer a dose. I'm currently setting up and running my own business from home so am able to work remotely from anywhere with an internet connection. This also gives me flexibility to fit around your plans. I fully appreciate the need for safety, wellbeing and peace of mind when leaving your dogs in my care and commit to learning anything and everything about your pets schedule to make the transition as stress-free as possible.

Great weekly dog walking service from Mark! He's taken time to build trust with our dog who can get anxious around new people, and now gets absolutely excited about the walks with him, and his updates are always lovely and timely. Thank you so much xx

About: I’ve always had an unshakeable love for animals, and that’s why I know I’d be a great pick to take care of your furry family members! Whether it’s a fun walk, a lively game, or a snuggle session, I’m here to give your pets all the attention and love they deserve. I’m a proud dog mom to my own rescue dog—my beautiful Zeus who has completely transformed from a tough past to the adorable, goofy ball of joy he is today. He’s come on leaps and bounds, and I can't imagine my life without him! His journey has given me so much understanding of the patience, care, and empathy that pets need, especially those with a rough start. It’s made me even more passionate about animal welfare. When I’m not spending time with my rescue,I’m either studying or working at my part time job🫶 I know that each pet is unique, and I make sure to tailor every interaction to their needs. Dogs get long walks, tons of playtime, and all the belly rubs they can handle, while cats get their cozy, quiet cuddle time! 💌 I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, then I’d love to meet them and help out however I can!🦮🐾🐱🤍 When I’m not spending time with my rescue,I’m either studying or working at my part time job🫶 I currently have two little pups I see weekly for drop-ins and walks — lots of cuddles and playtime! Still available for more furry friends☺️ I know that each pet is unique, and I make sure to tailor every interaction to their needs. Dogs get long walks, tons of playtime, and all the belly rubs they can handle, while cats get their cozy, quiet cuddle time! 💌 I will always ensure I update my availability regularly! ☺️ When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making them feel comfortable, secure, and loved in a familiar environment. I always stick to their routine as closely as possible—whether it's their feeding schedule, favorite walk routes, or cuddle time. I believe consistency helps pets feel more at ease, especially when their owner is away. I make sure to give them the right balance of playtime, exercise, and relaxation, based on their individual needs. I’m also mindful of any special instructions or care routines that your pet may have, whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a specific feeding schedule, or giving them extra TLC. If your dog enjoys a long walk or a good game of fetch, I’m all about getting their energy out in a safe and fun way. And if your cat loves to curl up for some quiet, cozy time, I’ll make sure they get all the purring time they deserve. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re comfortable, and I’ll always notify you if there’s anything unusual or that needs attention. Most importantly, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands, feeling loved, safe, and cared for, just like they would if you were home!

About: I first became a dog parent 13 years ago to Kevin and George. Kevin has since passed but George is still here snuggled up on the sofa next to me. I have two boys (Rory 11 and Albie 7) who absolutely love all breeds of dogs. I'm not able to commit to owning another but I would love to bring some more furry friends into their lives. We have a lovely woodland walk and a large park just at the top of our road so we don't need to venture far. It gives us the best reason to get out and about. I work full-time as a primary school teacher. I'm about to offer care from Friday evening through to Sunday evening. As a teacher I'm also available in the school holidays. My two boys have all plenty of energy for throwing balls for fetch, family dog walking and all the stokes and cuddles your furry friend could ever wish for! We have our own dog (George) who is nearly 12 years old but everyone still mistakes for a puppy. We have a nice sized home and a good sized fenced garden. George is allowed on furniture and sleeps in my bed. Our home is very pet friendly, he is treated like one of the family.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I prefer one-on-one walks so I can give dogs my full attention and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of affection, and I take responsibility and trust very seriously. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to fit pet care easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep pets on leads unless told otherwise. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed closely, and pets feel calm, safe, and well cared for at all times.

About: My biggest so far challenge, was my “staff”breed. In fact, with lots of love, and an appropriate training approach, we bonded perfectly. Once or twice, i walked four “wiggle wags”at the same time, handful of treats worked just as well, we made a one “great pack” effort. A Caring for well-being of your pets will be depending on binding a joy of life, healthy snacks, and a cosy rest. I am self employed and managing most of my own schedule. I will find a time and i can fit in a pet care in, at my best. a Big garden with secured fencing, plus live next to one of the biggest parks in town, so if the pet dog is in need of good run, surely can provide that.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and my husband and I are proud pet parents to two gorgeous senior pups, who continue to fill my days with love and laughter. One of my dogs is a rescue with a difficult past, and seeing her blossom into a happy, confident companion has been one of the most rewarding experiences. It’s inspired me to follow my passion for animal care and help other pets feel safe and loved when their owners are not available. Alongside caring for my own dogs, I volunteer as an Animal Care Assistant at the Blue Cross, where I continue to gain valuable experience in animal behaviour, welfare, and enrichment. Whether it’s offering an energetic or gentle walk, playtime, or simply a reassuring cuddle, I’m committed to providing every animal with the same level of care and compassion I give to my own pets. I prefer walking in rural, low dog-populated areas where there’s more space and a calm atmosphere, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience. However, I’m more than happy to walk your dog in your preferred location if you have one. I will of course share pet updates and photos with you if you'd like, to give you peace of mind. I am available Monday to Friday, with weekend availability upon special request. After spending many years in a busy corporate environment, I am now following my true passion and doing something that truly brings me joy - spending my days caring for and connecting with animals! I find it incredibly rewarding to provide them with companionship, comfort, and the attentive care they deserve. I enjoy dedicating my time to something I genuinely love and helping owners feel confident that their pets are in safe and caring hands. My top priority is to provide reassuring, reliable, and loving care for your beloved dog or cat. I know how important it is to feel complete trust when someone else is looking after your pet, so I’ll always treat them with the same kindness and attention I give my own. Their safety and wellbeing are at the heart of everything I do - from carefully following your instructions to making sure they feel calm, secure, and content in their surroundings. My goal is to create a positive and comforting experience, so your dog or cat feels happy and completely at ease when they are in my company. Before providing any service, I will meet with you and your pet to ensure you’re comfortable with my approach and to learn about their unique needs, routines, and personality. I am fully insured.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my family, and I cannot see life without having a doggy companion in it. I’ve had lots of experience with many different breeds from small to huge! I’ve done walks for neighbours and have tried to help looking after pets/dogs in my community. I can offer care including; keeping company, playing, feeding, walking, giving medicine (no injection) and vet visits when required. I’m looking forward to meeting your pooch! I’m currently working part time and feel like I have all the time in the world since my kiddies started school. I’m free for all services all days but Wednesday, unless previously arranged. I have a large fenced garden as well as lots of lovely big fields in my surrounding area. I have a friendly pooch myself who will happily keep yours company, but can also crate your dog if needed.

Katherine walked my Chow Chow, Chewie, 3 times per week for just over 9 months. She was always really lovely with Chewie and tailored walks to his needs especially as he gets very hot in the summer! She had great communication with me and was very flexible- I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.

Montisha and Eric have been amazing with Pepper over the last couple of visits. She had a couple of walks scheduled but was quite anxious and didn't want to go, so they both adapted to Pepper and stayed home to play and have cuddles instead. Thank you both for being so patient with her and we know she will be in safe hands while we're away.
