Dog Walking in Kingston upon Thames

“Highly recommend Elena. She was punctual, very sweet with my dog, and made the whole process easy. Thank you!”

“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. 😊”

“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.”

“Karina is a really helpful and reliable dog walker, always quick to respond to messages and Bertie obviously enjoys her company 😊”

Mark R.

“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Maple. From the very beginning, she has been reliable, caring and genuinely attentive — not just to Maple’s needs, but to her personality too. Maple can be sensitive at times, and Jessica has a calm, grounded presence that immediately put her at ease. She clearly understands dogs and takes the time to build trust, which means a lot to us. We always feel completely confident leaving Maple in her care. Communication is excellent — we receive updates and photos, and it’s clear Maple is happy and relaxed. When we return, she is settled, well-exercised and content, which speaks volumes. Jessica is dependable, thoughtful and truly goes the extra mile. We feel very lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced and compassionate dog walker and sitter.”

“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.”

“Maple loves Xiangyi.”

“Lucas takes out my 2 dogs regularly. Very professional, friendly and polite.”

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.

“Sam has been the absolute best we’ve worked with— responsive, great with our dog, and extremely dependable!”

“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: For the first time in both our lives, childhood included, our household doesn’t have a dog in it. We have lots of experience working with dogs having spent 2 years working as full time dog walkers so are comfortable walking and looking after a whole variety of dogs, big and small, from our seniors in their twilight years to the puppies who need reminding of what their commands are! As a student, Jess has a pretty flexible schedule, it often varies but she spends lots of time at home studying and a study break to walk a dog is always welcomed! Ben works full time and looks after dogs on his days off. When making a booking, you will always be informed whether it is one of us providing your pet’s care, or both of us. We don’t have an enclosed garden but all that means is lots more trips outside. Our home is fully dog safe, we used to have a dog ourselves so we still have plenty of toys and bits and pieces.

About: Full time dog sitter. I’ve been taking care of animals from a young age and I’m very passionate about them, I took to volunteering at a dog hotel because I wanted to be in that environment and learn to care for them, and have been caring for peoples pets for a long time ! I’m currently on my summer break before my final year at university, however I have been taking care of peoples pets during my term times and always make time to ensure the animals feel love and cared for especially while their parents are away ! I have a small garden but easy access to grass areas and enriching walks if needed and have a lot of experience with caring for animals in their home or my own

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

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.

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.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something that truly makes me happy. I grew up with four dogs and one cat, learning firsthand how much love, patience, and understanding each animal needs. I also spent several years cat-sitting for two cats, regularly brushing them, monitoring their health, and tending to any issues they had, always making sure they felt safe and comfortable. In my free time, I’m drawn to helping animals however I can. One of my most meaningful experiences was spending an entire day trying to rescue a lost, frightened dog roaming the streets. Moments like that reflect how deeply I care about animal wellbeing, especially when they’re scared or vulnerable. I believe every pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and needs, just like people. I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually and adapting my care to what makes them feel happiest and most secure. I’m currently a university student, and while my own pets are back home in Switzerland with my family, I miss caring for animals daily and would love to continue sharing that love and attention with your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority <3 As a university student with a very flexible course schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m generally available early mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m happy to accommodate regular routines, last-minute needs, or longer visits when required. I always make a point to set aside dedicated time for each pet, not just for basic care, but also for play, mental stimulation, and companionship. I believe keeping pets engaged and active is just as important as walks and feeding, and I genuinely enjoy spending that quality time with them. I take safety, responsibility, and trust very seriously when caring for pets in someone else’s home or outdoors. I understand that every pet, and every household has its own rules, routines, and boundaries. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether that means specific walking habits, feeding routines, training rules, or areas of the home that are off-limits. I’m respectful of personal spaces and treat each home with care, cleanliness, and discretion. When outside, I stay alert and attentive at all times, prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort while being mindful of their environment. I also pay close attention to behavior cues and body language, adjusting my approach to what helps each pet feel secure and relaxed. My goal is for pet owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pets, and their home, are being cared for responsibly, thoughtfully, and with genuine respect.

About: As lifelong dog lovers, my partner and I jump at every chance we get to spend time with our four-legged friends. While we're planning to get a pup of our own very soon, we currently spend our free time "borrowing" the dogs of friends and family to get our fix! We've previously owned dogs seperately, and have experience looking after all sorts of breeds (shih tzu, ridgeback/mastiff cross, cavabichon, english bulldog, boston terrier, cockerpoo, yorkshire terrier and many more), ranging from young puppies to senior dogs. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly apartment close to parks, pubs and plenty of dog-friendly spaces. ​Because it’s just the two of us at home, we offer a peaceful, stress-free environment for your dog where they're guaranteed ALL the attention. We're looking forward to lots of cuddles and adventures with your furry friend :) Larisa and Neve x We work 2 days a week from home with lots of time throughout our day to keep a furry friend company. Our daily routine could look like morning and lunch time walks, cuddles on the sofa and trips to local dog-friendly spots. Our weekends are full of plans where a dog would fit in perfectly, from trips to Bushy Park, Richmond Park and socialising in dog-friendly restaurants and spaces; we have a dog-shaped hole in our day to day! We have a ground floor apartment. Our local park is a 3 min walk away, we're a 1 min walk from the most dog-friendly pub around, and a short walk away from lots of dog-friendly spaces within Kingston. We have a small communal garden for your dog to do their deed on a lead and get a regular dose of fresh air. From overnight stays, to wandering walks, we're around to give as much love and affection as possible to your pup. We're able to make lots of room on the sofa and even have a dedicated dog armchair for your furry friend to chill with us.

“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 had a chocolate Labrador, called Rolo, for 15 years. My family and I cared for him since birth, up until his unfortunate death. As he grew older, we grew accustom to more hands on care and feeding him his medication discretely. We would place the medicine inside spoonfuls of peanut butter as he wouldn't eat them on their own. Dogs are by far my favourite animal. I love all breeds at all ages. I will be as free as I can for your pet and understand that caring for them is a full-time job. I have dog-sat many of my family friends' pets, including; Shitzus, Akitas, Golden Retrievers, Huskies and Coton de Tulear's. I adore dogs and will ensure the best care for them. I’m currently taking a break from 9-5 work so can fit my schedule around your pets needs. Happy to take dogs on multiple walks daily and for house visits and sitting I can fit pets outdoor routine around what your usual one! I’ve got experience with crated animals, senior animals and animals with complex care requirements. I am unable to host as I live with my friends and 2 dogs + 2 cats so would be hectic but I can do house visits. If your dogs are good with other dogs, I can walk them with my 2!
