Dog Walking Melton

About: I've grown up around dogs and love them so much. I have a crazy staffy who is my world! I have helped care for our older family dogs who need a little extra tlc, as well as administering medication to my own dog daily. I will love your dog like my own. I currently work from home with some extra spare time that I would love to dedicate to caring for your pets! Given enough notice I can be fairly flexible. I am very respectful of any rules and know how important it is to follow instructions when it comes to the care of your beloved dog. Animals genuinely make me so happy and I know how hard it is to find someone to trust to look after your pet.

About: I’m 29, have had 2 beagle boys of my own for the past 6 years so I‘m used to mischievous, energetic dogs who love to cuddle. (I also use Rover as a customer, would love to find someone where we can regularly help with each other’s dogs!) I work from home full time and can pop in on your dog as needed. Happy to walk, feed, provide cuddles, play time or just toilet trips. I only walk dogs from one household at a time, maximum of two dogs per household. Happy to follow any instructions for your dog and will treat your home with complete respect, privacy and safety. Let me know if you have any particular rules or boundaries.

About: As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I'm the proud parent of a 5-year-old Springer Spaniel and 3-year-old Cocker Spaniel, so I understand the unique energy levels and needs of active breeds. What sets me apart is my commitment to professional development in dog care. I hold a Level 3 Canine First Aid certification through iPET Network, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in capable hands should any situation arise. As an aspiring dog trainer, I'm actively expanding my knowledge and skills in canine behavior and positive reinforcement techniques. My experience spans puppies to senior dogs, and I understand that each dog has unique personality traits, exercise needs, and comfort levels that require a personalized approach. Working as a writer from home gives me exceptional flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs. I set my own hours and can easily adjust my schedule around dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care sessions. My home-based work means I'm typically available throughout the day and can provide updates and photos during longer visits. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I'm happy to work around your dog's established schedule and your family's needs. Safety is my top priority in every interaction. With my Level 3 Canine First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle any medical situations that might arise, from minor cuts to more serious emergencies. I always carry a basic first aid kit during walks and visits. For drop-in visits at your home, I respect your space and follow your specific instructions to the letter. I'll maintain your dog's routine, use their familiar toys and feeding equipment, and ensure your home is secure when I leave. I provide detailed updates with photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing.

“Adam was extremely kind, helpful and efficient. Roger bonded with him straight away. He was available at short notice and flexible. We thoroughly recommend him”

About: I am currently studying veterinary, so have undertaken many hours of work experience where I have looked after many dogs in a professional environment. I also have a dog with anxiety so understand the needs of this. During the week I can provide services such as dog walking and drop in sessions. Over weekends I have no other commitments such as a job so can provide many walks and sufficient care for your pet(s). I am flexible to how the dog is behaved as I understand some dogs have different needs to others- I am confident to crate a dog and walk dogs on a leash.

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely the thing that makes me happiest. I’ve been pet sitting and providing care for the last four years, but my experience with dogs started long before that. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine life without them in it. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures, enjoys long walks and playtime, or is happiest curled up having cuddles and company, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved while they’re with me. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust because they’re family, not just pets. I treat every dog in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own, with patience, attention, affection and genuine care. I truly couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Spending my days around dogs, is what I love the most. I am currently working through a canine care, behaviour and welfare course from home. So I have plenty of time to love and care for your dogs as my main priority. Tell me all about your dog and their routine so I can create a home from home for them to feel safe and welcome and you to feel at ease that your fur baby is being loved and cared for. For me, trust and safety always come first because I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a huge decision. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in a loving, secure environment where they’ll be cared for as if they were my own. I have four dogs myself, ranging from 4 to 12 years old, and they’ve been around all kinds of dogs over the years. They’re gentle, friendly, playful and have met dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities. They absolutely love making new friends and are great at helping visiting dogs feel welcomed and settled into the home. I live in a small, quiet village surrounded by fields, which means walks and adventures are endless. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, enjoy new smells, stretch their legs and simply be dogs. Whether your dog loves exciting walks and discovering new places, or prefers slower strolls taking everything in, there’s always somewhere peaceful and enjoyable for them. My home is full of experience, routine and understanding of dog behaviour. I know that every dog is different — some run in and make themselves at home immediately, while others need a little extra reassurance and time to adjust. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, body language and needs so they always feel safe and supported. More than anything, I aim to create an environment where dogs don’t just stay — they belong. A place where they can play, explore, relax, receive lots of affection and enjoy being part of everyday family life while you have complete peace of mind knowing they’re happy and cared for. 🐾 *i am fully insured*

About: Hi there! I’m Phoebe, a qualified veterinary nurse of 5 years. I have worked within the veterinary industry for 8 years. As a vet nurse specialising in emergency and critical care, I am dedicated to catering to pets with extra or special needs. I understand the unique conditions and requirements that some pets may have, and I strive to provide the highest level of care to meet those needs. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with the Greyhound Trust, where I learned the importance of compassion and dedication in animal care. Additionally, my time at a boarding kennel has given me hands-on experience with a variety of pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m passionate about providing the best care for your furry friends and look forward to meeting them! My current schedule is 7 days on and 7 days off. So having every other week off means I spend a lot of time at home! During my 7 days on I work from 15:30 - 00:00. I can care for pets during my week when I am working too if this suits your pet’s needs. I have a 3 bedroom property with a garden that has a large fence around it. I myself have two friendly dogs. Introductions will be made to ensure compatibility with pets. While I am happy to accept raw-fed dogs, I am unable to feed them raw food during their stay with me for the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. I kindly request that raw food not be brought into my home. However, I am happy to cater to raw-fed pets in their own home to ensure their needs are met while under my care.

About: 🐾 Hello Katie from Nature Paws! I am located in Six Hills, Leicestershire. I am a natural caregiver and adore dogs. I worked for over 10 years for Mars Petcare so have a strong connection to dogs and the care they need. I have looked after family and friends dogs. I live in the Leicestershire countryside in a beautiful barn conversion. I work from home so get out and about. Your dog will enjoy 1-1 care if they come to stay and be loved, cared for and nurtured as if they were my own. For dog walking I will visit the following villages for walking Barrow Upon Soar, Seagrave, Wymeswold, Old Dalby, Grimston, Ragdale, Sileby, Burton on the Wolds, Thrussington and Rearsby I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I go out and about frequently. You dog will have attention and care throughout the day I care for dogs in a calm, home-from-home environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my spacious countryside barn conversion, dogs have room to explore, rest, and enjoy a peaceful routine with plenty of attention. I stick closely to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping habits to help them settle in comfortably. For dog walking, I offer gentle, unrushed walks near the dog’s home or in the countryside—always putting their safety and happiness first. I only walk dogs in small groups (or solo if preferred) to ensure individual attention and calm companionship. With a nurturing, family-style approach and over 10 years of pet care experience, your dog is treated like part of the family—because they are.

About: Have had cats growing up and was absolutely obsessed with them. I have looked after a few of my friends dogs and work in a dog friendly pub, seemingly becoming just obsessed with dogs! I always seem to remember the dogs but not the humans, whoops! I’m currently changing my career to have a life I love. Cats and cute dogs have to be involved! I work as a Pilates instructor and seem to be free during the day- a time when doggos or kitty kats need that little bit of attention and love. I live in a terrace house with a garden. The front of my house looks onto a big green, which tends to be the neighbours dog walking spot! I can’t wait to join them!

About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.

About: I recently obtained my Level 2 certificate in animal welfare which allows me to provide an extra level of care to your dog. My understanding of their needs is much greater since accomplishing this also due to the work experience in a busy dog day care, I was quickly brought up to speed managing up to 20 dogs! I have always been passionate about dogs ever since I became a young dog mum, I took my boarder collie dog training when I was 13 and created a fabulous bond which will last a million lifetimes! She lived well into her senior age of 18 where I met all her senior needs 🥰 Unfortunately last year she passed but I loved every minute of being a dog mum so now I'm using my passions to provide a safe and loving environment for other dogs to enjoy as a fun doggy holiday. I am always walking and hiking, I am also a self employed hair dresser which means I am often at home or not far from it. I have a huge secure garden, which is often referred to as a doggy's paradise! I live in a detached barn conversion with a 360 garden. I have an open plan house, with hard floors perfect for dogs. I live 2 minutes from a park and not far from Leicester centre.

About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 2. I’ve dog sat for my friends, auntie, and new clients through Rover. Including, walking, feeding, grooming/bathing, playing, etc. I’m a loving dog mum who’s done tonnes of researching on various breed fulfilment. I enjoy researching about the needs of various breeds and will cater to your doggo. I’ve done various dogs trust training classes with my pups as well as working with a private award winning dog trainer. I love to meet up prior to providing services to get to know both owner and dogs, this way I create a great relationship and learn more about your pet directly… especially if they are quirky like mine! 😁 Currently my schedule is wide open. I’m undergoing an online course that can be completed in my own time. On the weekend, generally I wake up early, play some games with my dogs, they nap, then we go for a walk, I feed them and then do some training, and finally bedtime. I love to take them hiking or swimming or to a private dog park to do some agility too. I have plenty of spare crates and a fenced off garden that the dogs can run around and play in. If our dogs don’t get along which can sometimes happen, I have a separate household that can take care of mine whilst I take care of your dog(s). Although this is dependent on the timescale, I’m willing to compromise. I have plenty of enrichment games such as snuffle mats, food dispenser games, dog treat puzzles and various toys. So your dog will not be bored!

About: I have had experience working in a veterinary hospital surrounded by all sorts of animals every day! I have looked after pets of all shapes and sizes as well as having grown up with 3 energetic spaniels, a rabbit and 2 hamsters. I have a very calming energy so pets typically feel at ease with me coming into their space. I have had experience pet sitting for dogs, cats and small furries. I currently work for myself therefore have full flexibility as to when I can care for your precious furry friends. I love to live an active lifestyle therefore walking dogs fits perfectly in to this. I have solid experience in administrating medications to dogs, rabbits and cats. Being an animal lover, I am able to shower your loved one with as much love and attention as they require. Having spent so much time with animals, I am good at reading signals and have spent time with animals with varying temperaments. I am fully flexible in my approach to looking after pets therefore am able to maintain your pets routine to the best of my ability.

“Ana met our Jack Russell/Staffy cross, Brian, this week for the first time and then took him out for a couple of walks. It was obvious immediately that she's comfortable around dogs and we were confident that he was in good hands as it takes Brian time to trust new people. Ana worked with this and came up with helpful suggestions for walk no 2 that proved successful. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ana to others and we hope to book her again soon : )”
