Dog Walking Kingston upon Thames

“We are so happy to have found Joana. She has helped us with walks, drop in visits and house sitting for our Jack Russell, Biscuit, while we were away for a week, and we have found her not only a lover of animals but responsible, friendly, trustworthy and professional. We had quite a lot of detailed requirements due to Biscuit's anxiety and Joana was kind and accommodating. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt really confident Biscuit was in good hands with her. We would definitely recommend Joana and will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Joana.”

“Evie is great, good communication, brilliant with our pooch, and she has endless enthusiasm - even in the rain. Our poodle Otis always came back from their walks a very happy and tired boy. Many thanks. 😊”

“We were so lucky that Ada was able to look after our 2 labradors yesterday as she is so very professional, cheerful and caring too. The dogs received 2 lovely long walks (with treats) and I was a given a comprehensive update as to how they were after their lovely day! Who could ask for more? Thank you Ada.”

About: Hello! My name is Marie, and I cannot wait to meet your furry family member. I have been around animals my entire life and understand that pets aren't just animals, they are family. I treat every dog I walk with the exact same love, patience, and attention. My Experience: I have 15+ years of experience caring for my friends and family dogs and during my teenage years caring for my own dog. Over the years, I have looked after a Dachshund, Cuvac, Terrier, Samoyed and many other. What a Walk Looks Like With Me: Safety and happiness are my top priorities. During our walks, I always keep dogs on a secure leash, avoid crowded or unpredictable dog parks unless requested, and stay highly alert to our surroundings. I love taking plenty of photos, so you can expect fun updates and cute pictures during every single service! My Schedule & Availability: I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks during early mornings, lunch breaks, afternoons, evenings and weekends. Because I live in Kingston upon Thames, close to many parks like Richmond Park, Canbury Gardens and Elm Road park, I can easily accommodate last-minute requests or recurring weekly schedules. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks during early mornings, lunch breaks, afternoons, evenings and weekends. Because I live in Kingston upon Thames, close to Richmond Park, Canbury Gardens and Elm Road park, I can easily accommodate last-minute requests or recurring weekly schedules.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs, so looking after pets has always come naturally to me. I now have a corgi of my own, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing with both dogs and cats, but I’m also happy to just keep them company and help them feel relaxed while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I always try to treat every pet like my own and pay attention to their individual needs and personality. I also have experience giving medication if needed, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I already have a routine with my own dog, so adding another pet feels very natural. I’m able to be flexible with walks, feeding times, and any specific needs your pet has. Whether it’s a quick check-in, longer walks, or full-day care, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well looked after and not left alone for long. I have a fenced garden, so pets can enjoy safe outdoor time and toilet breaks. I make sure to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions.

“Scarlett has been walking my energetic pup Truffle for a couple of months now. Truffle loves her and has the best walks. Scarlett is communicative and consistently on time and always gives Truff a good hour letting me know how it went after whether she played nicely etc. we haven’t had any issues and truffle always comes home very happy. I definitely recommend Scarlett if you are looking for a dog walker 🥰”

“We had to ask for Jessica’s help walking our Jack Russell at short notice. She was an amazing walker. Our dog always came home happy. We also got regular updates and photos of the walks. We will get in touch again when we need a walker in the future. Thanks Jessica!”

About: I’ve had 8 German Shepherds. They’ve mostly been rescue dogs so have usually been older dogs, mostly with arthritis! I’ve had some as puppies too! I’m retired so am free a lot of the time. I have walkable access to a park and have a car so can go to anyone my local parks. I have a secure fenced garden and plenty of room for your dog indoors. I live opposite a park so walkies can be as frequent as needed.

“Hollie was great with Duke, he got a good walk and she was professional with collection and drop off! We're very much looking forward to the regular walks for Duke with Hollie!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. I walk all the time and love to take dogs with me. I often house sit for friends when they go on holiday and need their pets looked after! I’m working part-time at the moment so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of pets. I go on long walks for photography and I love nature and a little furry company never hurts. A night in with a book and a pet by my side is my ideal night. I try to make pets feel comfortable by keeping to their usual routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and keep owners updated while they’re away.

“Joshna was super responsive and helpful when we needed last minute help. Mango seemed very happy with her and we came home to a content dog :) would trust her happily again!”

About: Hi, I’m Georgiana! I’m a big animal lover and proud dog mum to two sighthound pups. I’ve grown up around animals and have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs — from energetic puppies to older, more sensitive souls. I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your pets. I’m gentle, patient, and always make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just calm company, I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently studying for my PhD, so my schedule is flexible, and I love using my time outdoors for walks and cuddles with animals. My work is flexible as it is research it can change day to day/week to week therefore my schedule is flexible and can be adapted around demand. When I am with your pets I will solely focus on them, they will be my priority because I am a very caring vegan and animals are so precious to me. I will follow your instructions for how you would like your pet to be looked after. I will also focus on your animal to make sure their needs are attended to as and when they need something be it a cuddle, a treat, a fresh air break, or a good play session.

“Helen has been fantastic! Her love and care for animals is clear to see and she has become Ralph's new best friend 😊 Patient with Ralph, who can be challenging at times, and always reliable, Helen gets my strongest recommendation.”

About: I have experience caring for a dog who was ill and paralysed, requiring regular medication, diaper changes, and hygiene care. As the dog could not walk, I stayed at home to provide consistent companionship, gentle physical care, and emotional reassurance through calm presence and comforting touch. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and I naturally observe their behaviour and interactions during daily walks. I have regular experience caring for my relatives’ dogs, taking them out for walks and playtime. I pay close attention to how they interact with other dogs, and if I encounter dogs that are much larger or show aggressive behaviour, I will immediately protect them and change our route to ensure safety. I am also careful to prevent dogs from eating food from the ground. During previous summers, I consistently looked after my relatives’ dogs, spending time with them as a companion and caregiver, and building a calm and trusting relationship. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after midday, as well as full days on weekends. I plan my schedule in advance to ensure dogs receive consistent care, attention, and unrushed walks. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I respect the environment and focus on the dog, providing calm companionship, gentle affection, and attention to reduce boredom and anxiety.

“Ganna was great walking our Beagle. Always on time and he seems to have had a great time :) would definitely recommend !”

About: Howdy, y'all! I grew up in central Texas where I helped rescue and re-home 6+ dogs from kill shelters in San Antonio -- walking, feeding, bathing, introducing dogs to new environments, and finding two of them their furever homes. 🏡 I've handled everything from bouncy puppies to senior dogs who just need a calm presence and a good longgg, slow walk. 🐕 Now based in Kingston, I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits. My schedule is remote & flexible, so I can work around yours -- mornings, mid-afternoons, evenings, whatever your pup needs! I treat every walk like it matters, because it does :) For regular clients I already know and trust, I'm also happy to discuss boarding in my private top-floor room, which is calm, quiet, and fully separated from the rest of the house. 🐾 🐶 I work flexibly from home, which means I'm around most days and can fit walks and drop-ins into my routine without stress. The occasional commitment aside, my schedule is adaptable for mornings, afternoons, and evenings -- just let me know what your dog needs. In fact, I look forward to having an excuse to get out of the house! I'm based in a house where there's already a resident dog, so any pup coming to stay would be entering a dog-familiar environment, though I keep my solo top-floor room completely separate if you'd prefer your dog to have their own calm space away from the household. I'm experienced at introducing dogs to new environments and other animals from my rescue work, so I'm confident in managing the meet process carefully. Since I work remotely and flexibly, I genuinely love having a dog around on my Rover days -- whether that's a pup chillin' under my desk, hangin' out by my piano, or giving me the perfect excuse to take frequent walking breaks throughout the day! 🐾 🐶

About: My name is Sophie and I am a 34 year-old Mum of two young children and one 6 year old cat. I’ve lived and worked in the borough since 2015 after moving in with my (now) husband who was born and raised in Kingston. Before pet sitting, I worked in Design and Primary Education, specialising in SEND support. I moved into pet sitting to enable me to both spend more time at home with my boys and more time with animals, which is something I have always loved. I have been professionally pet sitting since December 2022, building upon 15+ years of caring for both my pets, the pets of friends and work colleagues. Since then, I have been lucky enough to work with 60+ families in the area and can cater for up to 6 visits a day (subject to booking availability). I am confident, caring and considerate and will always follow the lead of both you, the owner, and your beloved pets. I have helped to care for cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and would love to expand this to reptiles, rodents, fish, birds and beyond. I’m am an adaptable and receptive learner and would love the opportunity to care for your furry/scaled friends! As an owner of a disabled pet, I am undaunted by additional and adaptive needs and am happy to discuss individualised care. During my visits (of a minimum of 30 minutes), I will follow instruction and be lead by your pet (be they more playful, shy, nervous etc.) to ensure they have the most enjoyable time during your time away and you return to a healthy, happy pet. I update owners on each visit with photos and/or video updates to give you absolute peace of mind. I’m also happy to do odd jobs around the house (watering plants, sorting post, putting out bins etc.) so please don’t be afraid to ask. Please note my current hours of availability (inclusive of travel times): 07:00-09:00 Daily 09:30-11:30 (Monday- Friday, term time only due to childcare needs) 18:30-22:00 (Daily) * I am currently unable for long-term dog walking booking due to pre- existing bookings and childcare commitments throughout the year. My wonderful families often book several months in advance and my calendars are kept up to date weekly to reflect my availability * I live in the Coombe area (KT1) and am able to make visits within a 20 minute radius by bicycle (areas include Kingston-upon-Thames, Merton, Richmond-upon-Thames, Epsom and Ewell). I also have a car for emergency transportation. During my visit I will happily feed, groom, cuddle and play with your pet or, alternatively offer them a calm stroke or simply presence... whatever their personality would enjoy. I am attentive and will always do what is best for both you and your pets. I will clean bowls, top up water and food and clean litter trays as needed and keep you updated with photos and videos for your peace of mind. I am also happy to do jobs during my visit such as putting out bins on collection day and watering plants to make your life a little bit easier too. I am very happy to meet you and your pets beforehand if you would like me to be your sitter. I have a clear DBS (Criminal Record Check), which can be viewed upon request. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. It would be lovely to find out more about you and your furry friends.
