“Joana has been a delight to work with. She has been very communicative - on scheduling and the daily reports - and was flexible when I had to cancel last minute due to illness. She has been understanding about my dog’s special needs and checks in so that I can feel at ease while away at work.”
About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.
About: I shared my life with a German Shepherd for 15 years, so I've been through every stage of dog ownership — boisterous puppy energy, the steady adult years, and the slower, more careful pace that comes with senior care. That gives me a real feel for adjusting a walk or visit to what a dog actually needs that day, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I've also always gotten on easily with friends' and relatives' dogs of all breeds and temperaments, so I'm comfortable reading a dog I've just met and adapting to their personality quickly. What sets me apart is patience and attentiveness — I'm not rushing through a walk or visit, I'm genuinely paying attention to your dog's mood, energy, and comfort the whole time. My work involves shift patterns rather than a fixed 9-to-5, which actually works in your dog's favour — I have varied windows throughout the day and week to fit in walks and drop-in visits, including times a standard office schedule wouldn't allow. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits, I'm coming into your home to care for your dog rather than the other way round. I always confirm entry details, feeding instructions, and any house rules with you in advance, and I follow your dog's routine exactly as you've set it out — same food, same schedule, same walking route if that matters to them. I keep an eye on the home while I'm there (doors locked, nothing left out of place) and I'll message you with an update or photo after each visit so you always know your dog was safe, walked, and happy.
“Ada was great. She came around to meet Miller and he took to her immediately. He’s a big dog, young and sometimes boisterous, and he did not make the walk especially easy for Ada but she was very gracious and calm about it. We would recommend her :)”
“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’m a genuine animal lover and currently share my home with both a cat and a lovebird, so I understand the patience, care and attention that pets need every day. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, keeping them company or following your pet’s normal schedule, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m reliable, organised and happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I mostly work from home, and my husband’s work schedule complements mine, so there is usually someone at home throughout the day. This means your pet will receive plenty of attention, regular companionship and care. I always do my best to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide. Our home is calm, clean and pet-friendly, with a secure private garden for supervised outdoor time where appropriate. We have separate rooms, which allows us to safely introduce pets gradually or keep them apart if needed. We always prioritise each pet’s comfort and safety, and we’ll carefully follow any routines or instructions you provide. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to create a safe, low-stress environment.
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.
“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. 😊”
“Lizzie was great - friendly, communicative, and so good with Buzby, who loved her. I'd definitely recommend her as a responsible dog walker who will take great care of your pet!”

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.

Joana is very professional and knowledgeable about dog behavior, particularly with anxious or reactive dogs. She gained the trust of our German Shepherd mix, Olive, quickly and handled her with a calm, confident approach. She handles larger, sensitive dogs well, and having worked with her three times now, we would definitely book her again.
I am so grateful to Tara who is walking my dog Daisy (a Fox Terrier} regularly while I recover from a broken leg. She is reliable, punctual and flexible and Daisy loves her! I highly recommend Tara as a dog walker, she has a lovely gentle approach and Daisy is always so happy to see her!
Zachhi was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we left them in his care, he kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. He was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, treating our puppies as if they were his own. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Zachhi to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and professional to care for their pets. Thank you so much—we’ll definitely be booking with you again!
Jessica has been extremely flexible with last minute changes to my needs and constantly kept me up to date with everything. Cosmo also warmed up to Jessica immediately and I felt reassured from the very beginning that she would be in good hands. Strongly recommended.
Tamy is AMAZING! I never imagined that I would find someone who far surpassed my expectations for a dog sitter/walker. She is so much more than this. My partner and I recently went away for a long holiday, and Tamy lovingly cared for our 7-year-old Jack Russel mix and 8-year-old Kerry Blue Terrier. Our boys have a crazy, complicated dynamic, and she was able to work with both of them so well. She immediately gained their trust, and they have quickly fallen in love with her. She kept us updated daily with pictures and voice messages. We literally could not have asked for more.
Aisha has come to the rescue assisting me with Cosmo on a last minute ask. Aisha was very attentive, gave a detailed report after the walk and felt very reassured. She made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Well recommended
Tzion looked after my Rottweiler really well and I was very happy with the service. He was confident with a big dog and gave him great care and attention. Communication was easy, and I felt relaxed knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter !
I would highly recommend John, he was quick to respond and very accommodating. John is a very calm and nice guy. Our puppy Coco was excited to head off on her walks with him - she is 8 months and sticks close to us or people she knows so for her to be so relaxed with John is a testament to his character. Thanks again John.
Yet another wonderful walk with Robert. Kyle absolutely adores him and genuinely looks forward to their time together each week. Robert is kind, dependable, and has a natural way with dogs. It's lovely to see how happy and comfortable Kyle is with him. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker. Thank you, Robert, for being so wonderful with Kyle!
Elena was amazing with our three dogs while we was away..she kept us updated all time sent a lot of pictures, couldn’t ask for any better. Our dogs seemed so happy and she gave them a lot of love and affection. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will call her again next time we go on holiday. ♥️♥️
