Dog Walking Leighton Buzzard

About: I had 5 years experience with my gorgeous rescue cocker spaniel Lilly. When she arrived I worked to train her and boost her confidence in a home environment after a sad start in life. I matched her energy and always had time to play and run around with her. Due to a relationship split, I don't get to see her but still have all the love to give. I have looked after dogs overnight, am happy to provide long walks, games, cuddles and have even taken pups to private fields for off lead fun! Dogs in my house are part of the family and would be allowed on my furniture (please state otherwise if that's not ok for you). I work from home 2-3 days of the week and have an hour lunch break for walks. During the day, I move between desk space and the sofa so can sit with your pup and keep them company if they need a companion. I'm happy to play fetch, tug or any other games to keep your family member entertained. I work occasional weekends and occasionally head out with friends but this would be planned in advance. I'm more than happy to take care of dogs over a weekend should you wish to go away. I will respect your meal and walk times and try to keep your routine going. I have a fenced in private garden, one gate wouldn't be suitable for really small dogs such as chihuahuas but I can adapt this with notice. Until i know your pups habits, I would accompany them at all times in the garden. I keep water bowls accessible in multiple rooms and make homely areas for your pooch to snuggle up in at any point of the day. I will always provide walks come rain or shine, however, I will not walk pups in the day if the temperature reaches 20 degrees and over.

About: I have been around animals all my life, we always had pets in the house growing up and as a teen I would often cat and dog sit for friends and family then I went on to study animal care at college for 2 years, volunteered at an animal shelter for 3 years and have had many kennel and cattery jobs since then and done plenty of dog walking on the side and currently still working part time at a kennels and have my own dog at home Having been around and worked with animals so much I enjoy being around them more than people, animals are my passion and I am experienced in reading animals body language and understanding them as best I can, I am also experienced in working with both puppies/kittens and senior dogs and cats I'm now currently working full time so I may not always be available during some weekdays, I try to keep my rover calendar updates around my work rota Since I have a dog at home that is not always a fan of other dogs I won't be taking care of dogs in my home and due to my work I no longer do overnight house sittings but I'm always happy to drop in and check up/hang out with your dog or cat when available and I'm happy to do dog walks. I understand having someone else in your home can be unnerving but I pride myself on being respectful of other people's property when in your homes. As for pet care I will do whatever tasks you ask, I love instructions so any info you have on your pet and their routine is much appreciated so I can offer the same level of care their owner usually would

About: I run my own full time dog walking and pet sitting business, Little Paws Pet Care 🐾 My background includes studies in Animal Care at school and at Shuttleworth College. I am Canine First Aid trained and have experience with senior dogs and looking after pets with medical conditions. I also have two rabbits named Eevee and Luna, they are rescue sisters and are 8 years old 🐰 Managing my business on a full time basis, some of my walk slots are already taken, but I do have limited availability. Aside from weekdays, I offer my services during the evenings and weekends, please be aware that these slots are filling up quickly! When pet sitting, I prioritise a safe and cozy atmosphere. I achieve this by thoroughly understanding and following the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, exercise routines, and any specific needs the pets may have. I always send regular updates, including photos and videos.

About: I am an avid pet lover and I understand how important it is to know your pets are well looked after when you’re not around. My pets are family members and are well looked after and treated as an integral part of the family. Whilst working at Companion Care Vets, I was able to offer assistance in animal care, assist in operations, dispense and help administer medications, so I am well versed in the care of animals, especially those with additional needs. I was also able to offer my home to stray cats and dogs until they were rehomed. No dog or cat is too big or too small! I have cared for a few hour old kittens to Great Danes! I have a garden, transport and spare room in my house if animals wanted/required their own space. I work from home, so I am always around to shower your pet with love and spoil them with play time. It’s their holiday too! I have a self contained garden for toilet breaks and zoomies. I have a spare room in case the fur babies need their own space whilst staying with me.

“Tabitha was brilliant, she was so loving and attentive to my two dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again my dogs loved going out with her for walks”

About: Hi! I’m Guy, a massive dog lover based in Wing village, surrounded by beautiful countryside and plenty of lovely walks right on our doorstep. Dogs have always been a big part of my life: I grew up with a loyal German Shepherd, later had several energetic Border Collies, and now share my home with our calm and friendly Labrador. Over the years, we’ve also welcomed many friends’ dogs into our home while they were away, so I’m very used to caring for dogs with all sorts of personalities and routines. I was lucky enough to retire early, which means I have lots of time to dedicate to the things I enjoy - staying active, being outdoors, and spending time with dogs. I’m usually at home apart from short school runs for our two boys (aged 9 and 8), who both love animals and know how to treat them gently and respectfully. My wife also mostly works from home, so your dog will never be short of company, walks, or cuddles. We have a secure, fully fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and relaxation. Since we have our own Labrador, it’s ideal if your dog is comfortable around other dogs and children. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle stroll and quiet naps, I’ll adapt to their personality and make sure they feel at home. At home full time other than school runs while my wife also regularly works from home. I generally walk the dogs twice a day while my wife also adds additional walks. Our garden is fully fenced as we have our own dog so understand the security it requires. Our dog does come upstairs although she does sneak up to watch my wife home work and prefer this in visiting dogs.

About: Hi there — I’m Sara! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is what I truly love. Whether you’ve got a playful pup who thrives on activity, a chilled companion who prefers gentle company, or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra care, I make sure every guest feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Dog Daycare - Supervised playgroups matched by size, age, and temperament - Enrichment, walks, and structured rest breaks - Photo/video updates so you can follow the fun Dog Boarding - Comfortable, home-from-home stays with cosy sleep setups - Routine kept consistent (your dog’s own food, schedule, and comforts) - Medication administered and special diets supported Safety & Standards - Temperament meet-and-greet before the first visit - Vaccination and health requirements in place - Clean and secure environment My aim is simple: you relax, knowing your dog is getting plenty of love, enrichment, and cuddles — and will come home content and happily tired. Because I work from home, pet care is woven into my day. I already have a dog, so regular walks and toilet breaks are part of my routine and easily extended to guests. A typical day looks like: - Morning: Up to 1 hour walk, then breakfast. - Lunchtime: neighbourhood walk to stretch legs and reset. - Evening: walk, dinner, and a final let-out before bed. If not cold, my garden door is always open so your pups can go in and out as he/she wants. If not, regular toilet breaks are provided. I tailor frequency for puppies or seniors, can administer meds, and keep your dog’s schedule consistent. With supervised introductions, friendly dogs can socialise with mine; if needed, I’m also set up to keep dogs separate and calm. You’ll get updates throughout the day so you can relax knowing their needs are covered. Secure setup: I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Friendly resident dog: Introductions are slow and supervised, and I can keep dogs separate if they prefer solo time. Flexible spaces: I use baby gates to manage zones. I can crate your dog on request to match training or provide a cosy den. Clean & hazard-free: I keep a tidy home, store food/chemicals out of reach, use pet-safe cleaning products, most of them are plant-based. Constant supervision: I work from home, so dogs get regular toilet breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, plus structured rest. Health & wellbeing: I follow your dog’s routine (diet, meds, cues). I ask for up-to-date vaccinations and your vet’s contact for peace of mind. Comfortable sleep: Quiet, comfy sleeping areas—happy to use your dog’s own bed/blanket to keep things familiar. Clear communication: You’ll receive photo/video updates and honest feedback. I do a meet-and-greet before the first stay to align on needs and temperament. Out & about: Walks are on-lead unless you’ve approved off-lead time in a secure area. ID tags and safety checks are standard.

About: Ever since I can remember I have grown up with various pets such as cats, dogs and small animals. Slowly throughout the years my love for animals has grown into my career. I have a Level Three BTEC in Animal Behaviour and Management. I’ve also been credited for doing a uni foundation degree in Canine Behaviour and Training. I have been working full time/ part time at a kennels for just over 5 years now, which include various amounts of breed from as big as a GSD to as little as a Chihuahua! I absolutely love my job and caring for all the doggies. It is such a passion of mine and whilst caring for your pets you will see how much I care and take notice of little details! As it is a kennel I deal with medication and happily will provide that for your pets if necessary. Whilst working at a kennels I am able to work alongside caring for your pets as it gives me flexibility due to being on a causal hour contract!! My number one priority will always be your pet whilst they’re in my care therefore I will notice the little details in what they like what they don’t like and also just to give them some extra love whilst their parents are away. ( even sneak them a extra toy or treat as I love spoiling pooches and moggies!!!) 🤍

“Jimmy loves Oliver and he is great with him. Oliver is great at staying in touch and sending regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend him for walks and dog sitting.”

“Jamie is fantastic. Duke was very happy to go on his walks and the feedback and support Jamie has shared in just a short amount of time has helped and has put me at ease. I feel very comfortable and happy that Jamie is our walker for Duke and I’m sure will bring Duke on leaps and bounds along his journey of development.”

About: Myself and my partner Tomek work in theatre and during time off we love to work with dogs. We have recently moved to the Leighton Buzzard area and I’m taking some time off theatre so I’m very free and flexible. If you chose me to look after your dog it’ll be getting all of my attention throughout our time together! During the height of the pandemic I trained and worked in a small dog grooming salon and Tomek took on dog walking duties, later working as a daycare supervisor at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care. Before joining Rover we have been offering dog sitting/waking services to many people in the village where I grew up. Through this we have gained experience in looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes, from a little old yorkie terrier to 3 young french spaniels. I have also grown up always having cats so have a lot of experience furry felines too. I am freelance and currently have a quiet period before my next theatre project so I am very flexible and can cater to your needs. If you choose me to look after your dog, it’ll get 100% of my attention. I have qualified as a dog trainer from the National Dog Training Acadamy which has given me a great understanding of how to work with dogs. Coupled with my year as a dog groomer's assistant I have a well rounded skillset that will enable me to provide your pet with the best care.

About: 💛 Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi, I’m Nicole — a loving pet sitter and proud mom to a five-year-old. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and even fish. From newborn animals who need gentle, round-the-clock care to senior pets who require patience and extra attention, I always adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🐶 Professional Experience & Training I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training, which allows me to understand canine body language and respond in a calm, positive, and reassuring way. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, reactive, or simply needs companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. 💊 Special Care Skills I am also experienced in administering oral medication (tablets and liquid), always prioritising your pet’s comfort and reducing stress during the process. 👩‍👧 Personal Touch As a mother, I’ve developed strong patience, empathy, and responsibility — qualities that naturally extend into how I care for animals. I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. As a mother, I spend most of my time at home, so I have the flexibility to care for pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. With years of experience caring for Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish, I provide compassionate, tailored pet care in my home or the pet owner’s home, depending on the service offered. My Certificate in Dog Behavior and Training enhances my ability to understand canine body language, ensuring calm and positive interactions, while my experience with diverse animals allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, from playful newborns to senior pets requiring extra patience. In-Home Pet Sitting: In the owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, watering, and administering oral medications (pills or liquids) gently to minimize stress. I provide exercise, such as walks for dogs or interactive play for cats, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For example, I might engage a Shiba Inu with a brisk walk or play feather games with a British Shorthair. I monitor health and behavior closely, offering reassurance to shy or anxious pets and maintaining a clean environment by tidying litter boxes or feeding areas. Dog Walking or Daily Visits: For dog walking, I customize routes and durations to suit each dog’s needs, from energetic Chihuahuas to senior pups, always carrying water and owner-approved treats. During daily visits, I provide feeding, play, or litter box cleaning, ensuring consistency. I send photo updates to keep owners informed. My gentle approach to medication administration and understanding of pet behavior ensure every animal feels loved and secure. I communicate regularly with owners to provide peace of mind, adapting my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether furry, feathery, or finned.

“Ameera did an amazing job walking our Maltese Terrier at short notice. She arrived on time and gave him a long walk taking pictures and notes along the way. She comes highly recommended and I look forward to using her again sometime 👌🏾❤️”
