Dog Walking Lewisham

About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 7 and am now the proud mum of two cats! I truly love cats and dogs like family! I’m a teacher who loves animals. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats. I’m available for drop ins or walks at weekends. From Monday 13th July I’m on summer holidays so can be available during the week too for your summer holidays. The most important thing to me is listening to the owner when they tell me about their pets needs. Their favourite walk, toy or treat can all help me to get to know their pet and ensure they are comfortable and content!

About: Experienced with small, big , puppies and elderly dogs . Of all personalties . Experienced and confident with anxious animals with an understanding for their needs and patience with all personalities. Since I was a little girl I have loved animals , I have been lucky to raise and train my own dog from puppy to fully grown . I currently live with two beautiful cats so Am lucky to be surrounded by furry friends. I have looked after animals for many years , simply because I love them and animal welfare is so important to me , it brings me peace of mind when I know they are in safe hands I also come from a scientific background so have good knowledge and a personal interest in animal behaviour and psychology and believe it’s something paramount to optimal wellbeing of our animal friends. I love being outdoors and taking dogs on long walks , equally I am happy to cuddle or play with them at home. So long as the little one is happy I am happy and finally working with animals is not a chore nor does it feel like work , I enjoy it I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting on a full-time basis. This allows me to dedicate consistent, one-to-one time and attention to the animals in my care, rather than splitting my focus. My routine is structured around fitness, which means I naturally maintain a disciplined and active lifestyle. On the days I am caring for pets, I am able to prioritise their needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being present to ensure they feel calm and secure. I live close to two large, safe parks which are ideal for dog walking, enrichment, and exercise. I also have access to a private back garden for additional outdoor time in a secure environment. Overall, I am able to offer a high level of availability, consistency, and attention, ensuring your pet is never left feeling unattended or unsettled. Providing a safe, calm, and secure environment is my top priority when caring for any animal whether in my home or in an owner’s home. My home is very pet-friendly, with no carpets and a layout that allows for easy cleaning and hygiene. There are secure doors and the ability to section off areas if needed, which is particularly useful for introducing animals gradually or keeping them separated for comfort and safety. I live with two friendly cats, and I have extensive experience managing multi-animal environments. However, I fully understand that not all animals are comfortable around others, so I am completely happy and confident separating pets. The house is set up with both upstairs and downstairs spaces, making it easy to keep animals apart in a calm and controlled way if required. There are no children in the home just myself and 2 other female house members who are all animal lovers. During the day, it is usually just me at home, though occasionally house members may be working quietly in separate rooms. The environment remains calm, predictable, and low-stress. Alongside my hands on experience, I have spent time independently learning about animal welfare, behaviour, and safety. I am confident in recognising signs of stress or discomfort and always aim to create an environment where animals feel secure and understood. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will fully respect your space and follow your routines closely to maintain familiarity for your pet. I understand how important consistency is, and I will ensure their usual feeding, walking, and care routines are followed as closely as possible. Most importantly, I prioritise your preferences as an owner. I am always open to guidance and happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and any training approaches you would like maintained. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for safely, thoughtfully, and with genuine attention.

“Ana and Paul came and met Millie ahead of the booking. Asked all the relevant questions about Millie’s routine and keen to ensure that they would meet her needs. Millie had two days of dog walking with them. Lots of photos and feedback if the walks sent. Excellent communication and house keys safely returned to me.”

About: Have taken care of pets all my life. Have had cats, dogs, chickens, horses and more! I love them all equally, and never tire of caring for lovable pets. Work a standard 9-5 weekdays but am very free evenings and weekend. Have lots of holidays throughout the year as I work in education, so odds are I can workout availability to suit your needs. I have a fenced garden & second-floor balcony, and a safe indoors environment for any pet to safely let loose and/or relax and enjoy some pampering.

About: I have grown up with cats and absolutely adore dogs. I have always helped anyone I can with their dogs, whether that be friends, family, neighbours or anyone else in the community. I have looked after a range of dogs, from greyhounds to cocker spaniels to pomeranians! I work mostly from home during the week, usually going in on a Thursday and sometimes a Wednesday. This means I have plenty of time to be around to look after pets and make sure they are getting the attention they deserve! I go on a lunch and after work walk every day without fail so you can be confident that your dog would get decent exercise and have fun with me. I'm mostly around SE London on the weekends and love exploring the local area and making the most of my community. I have an astro turfed garden which has high fences and backs only on to other gardens. I am happy to use any of your equipment in my home to make your dog as comfortable as possible. We have a big 3 story house and easily accessible garden, allowing your dog to roam freely if so desired.

“This was our first time using Larissa’s services, and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was absolutely fantastic with my dogs, Georgia and Brenda, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. From the start, Larissa was caring, reliable, and attentive, treating them as if they were her own. Both Georgia and Brenda clearly felt comfortable with her straight away, which says a lot. She is punctual, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Larissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely kind dog walker. She truly goes above and beyond!”

“Ashleigh was great with my dog Saul. She was quick to respond, had clear communication, and took great care.”

“Adrian is an outstanding recurring dog walker for our large puppy. Renn can be quite strong and excitable, but Adrian handles him with calm confidence and real skill. He’s always punctual and completely reliable, which gives us great peace of mind. Communication is excellent—Adrian keeps us updated, lets us know how each walk goes, and is quick to respond to any messages. It’s clear he genuinely understands dogs and adapts his approach to suit their needs. Renn absolutely loves his walks with Adrian, and we’ve noticed a positive difference in his behaviour, confidence and energy levels. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, capable, and professional dog walker.”

About: I’ve had family dogs for over 20 years and have happily agreed to dog-sit for them whenever needed. I love to go on walks with dogs so would be happy to take them out as much as they require. I’m currently unemployed and only working very flexible volunteering shifts so can be available in the week or on weekends. Overnight stays also welcome! I live on a third floor flat which is quite small so if sitting at ours would have to be small/medium dogs. We have a shared garden but I would take the dogs to the park which is a 2 min walk away.

“Eleanor's great, really good communication, my dog loves her and she takes great care of her. Definitely recommend her if you're looking for a new doggy best friend.”

About: Senior dogs: I have grown up with pets in the household, our Labrador Sid lived for 14 years. I helped care for him into his senior years, administering medication, taking him on short walks and giving him all the love and attention he deserved. Puppies: Two years ago we welcomed a Cocker Spaniel puppy, Ted into the family and I looked after him whilst working from home during the pandemic, so I have a lot of experience with high energy puppies that require a lot of stimulation, love and attention. I have been a trusted dog sitter/walker for neighbours, friends and family for over 14 years. I moved to London over a year ago and miss being around pets in the family home. Cats: I am a frequent catsitter for 2 very easy going cats that require feeding twice a day and lots of cuddles playtime. I currently work from home fulltime and I have plenty of time for your pets during the week including walks and toilet breaks. I also have regular weekend availability. I live in a ground floor flat in Ladywell with an enclosed garden with my friend Ellie. I’m a 5 minute walk away from Hilly Fields and close to lots of local beautiful green space.

About: I grew up with a large dog and since then have been taking care of friends’ dogs and dogs of all sizes from borrow my doggy and now Rover I only work part time as I’m studying for a Masters so I’m often at home and my schedule is flexible and easy to fit around a dog’s needs. I don’t have any pets of my own so can provide a calm environment for your pet. I’m happy to look after dogs in owner’s homes or at my flat which is spacious, however, doesn’t have a garden so I would provide regular toilet breaks and walks.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. My very first dog joined our family when I was 8 years old in Spain and she became like a sister to me, being a single child myself. We spent 14 wonderful years together. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs in both London and Brighton, looking after friends’ pets ranging from small to medium breeds such as greyhounds, whippets, Brussels griffons, lurchers, and more. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need patience and playtime, as well as older dogs who may require gentler handling or extra care. Because of my personal and hands-on experience, I know how important it is to provide affection, consistency, and a safe environment that makes each dog feel secure and loved. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every dog as if they were my own giving them not just the basics of feeding and walking, but also companionship and care tailored to their needs. I am an academic and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your dog during the week. From Monday to Friday, I can adapt walks, play, and feeding times around your pet’s routine. The only exceptions are when I need to travel for work or visit family in Spain for holidays. We live in a comfortable two-bedroom flat with a spacious living room and a balcony. Our home provides a safe environment for pets to feel at ease. Just a short walk away are lovely green spaces such as Hilly Fields, Brockley Cemetery, and Ladywell Fields perfect for long walks and some outdoor playtime. I take safety and trust seriously: I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep to your dog’s routine, and send regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is to create a warm, secure, and caring environment where your dog feels happy and loved.
