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: 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.

“Emma is such a nice person and generally loves dogs - she’s very professional, punctual and keeps you updated throughout. I’m so pleased I have found her to walk my pup, I would recommend her 100 times over. Thank you Emma x”

“Jemma was so great! I had a last minute work situation come up and was in a bit of a squeeze. We were very hesitant to leave Pablo with someone we’d never met before but Jemma put us at ease so quickly and Pablo was a big fan! The regular updates and photos were lovely to see whilst away; and we will definitely be rebooking with Jemma in the future. Thank you!”

“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.”

“Karolina took Yoshi on a wonderful walk this morning! Yoshi had a great time, he’s come back absolutely pooped and fast asleep as I write this review. Karolina is one of our go to sitters/walkers for Yoshi as she’s super lovely, always on time and sends great updates! Thank you ☺️”

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: 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: 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: Having rescued lots of dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits and also a tortoise over the years I have a great love for all our furry friends. Experienced dog handler, cat sitter and happy to administer meds. DBS checked, full liabilty and pet first aid certificate. Happy to help with all the familys furry, feathered and scaly friends while I'm at the home too. The original Dr Doolittle is here! I just adore all animals, my dream is to open a rescue abroad and care for all the waifs and strays. Currently work Part time for the NHS and spend my afternoons and evenings caring for my animals and other peoples. Am available at weekends also and bank hols. I will even water the plants, put the bins out, open and close curtains. Safety is everything to me and keeping the pets happy and content.

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

“Matthew was great! He helped us with a last minute booking, he took our anxious, reactive fluff ball out for a long morning walk in the pouring rain (sorry!) Matthew was on time, super responsive and excellent with our pup. We’ll definitely book again :)”

About: I am a caring, reliable, and responsible pet lover with experience looking after dogs, cats, and other small pets. I understand that pets are family members, and I always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own animals. I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, administering basic medications when needed, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine, helping them stay happy and relaxed in their familiar environment. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or companionship during the day, I am committed to providing dependable care and keeping you updated with messages and photos for complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and regular toilet breaks into my routine while maintaining your pet’s normal schedule. Your pet will receive loving, reliable care and won’t be left alone for long periods. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. At my home, pets will have access to a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time. I also have two children, aged 8 and 9, who love animals and understand the importance of respecting a pet’s boundaries and giving them their own space when needed. When caring for pets in their own home, I ensure their routine is maintained as closely as possible, providing consistent care and regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

“Georgina was great with my little Yorkie, very patient and kind. I highly reccomend Georgina, she is reliable and sent regular updates of walks with photos and routes taken 😊”

About: I am easygoing, but not at all a pushover. I like to think I have a firm but gentle touch, and have a good degree of empathy. Having worked with animals - from horses to cats to dogs to chickens! - my experiences of their psychology have stood me in good stead when making new four- (and two!) legged acquaintances.
 I've always thought dogs to be some of the best judges of character and human nature, and honestly, you just can't hide your own true self from their animal instincts. They see, they know and they will make up their own mind about you whether you like it or not! As for cats, well, they are an enigma wrapped in a mystery drowning in a tub of Dreamies. Would we change them? Never!
 So all I can say is, if I meet your dog/cat/chicken and they give their paw/claw of approval, what better endorsement is there? Dog walking, cat sitting and general animal care if my full time business, and I make myself available most weekends. I have no problem with short notice bookings and take extra care to always heed to concerns and needs of my clients. I don’t board dogs or cats at my own residence as this would be too stressful for my own cat boss, but am happy to housesit if available to do so. This has always proved to be a more agreeable arrangement as there is no place like home for a dog or cat who are as much a member of the family as any other relative!

“Alex comes highly recommended, very punctual and kept me updated with photos. Will be using Alex again in the future :)”

“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: I've always loved dogs and have owned my own for 4 years now , before that I always cared for my friends and families dogs too. I am a self employed person who loves to help with people pet care needs at all times that I'm available. Very flexible caring person. I have a fenced safe garden at my own house and visit several parks to walk dogs. I am more than happy to do home visits & walks aswell.

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.
