Dog Walking in New Forest

“The dogs love laura - they get very excited when they hear her car pull up”

About: I’ve had and taken care of numerous dogs since my early years. From Jack Russells to my own anxious bully breed. I understand how daunting it can be to leave your pet with anyone but yourself, but rest assured I will treat them with the upmost care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently exploring a new career path so my days are flexible to meet any requirement. Be it popping in regularly or extended walks. I’m happy to follow any and all requirement that you have when caring for your beloved pet - I understand that our animals often have weird and wonderful needs

“Great conunication as always. Arrived for walk early but because I can't get back any earlier, took Willow out for a bit longer. Wonderful service.”

About: I am available for day care or walking if that is the service you require. I have helped puppy train and looked after my own elderly animals. I can inject and give medication. My daughter is a vet as well. I am retired now, I took early retirement, so I am very active, so you dog will have nice long walks. I have a large house and garden, so lots of room for your dog to play in. I can offer pet sitting either in my home or yours, whatever suits your situation better and obviously your pets preference. I am dbs checked and insured

“Casey was available to walk our dog on some ad hoc days. Service was top class! Our dog was more than happy with them and so were we. Highly recommend and will be using their services again!”

About: I am 18 years old and about to finish a level 3 qualification in animal management which allowed me to develop my knowledge on the care of a wide range of animals including domestics, and I was able to gain more experience with cats and dogs during practical sessions. I was taught how to complete thorough health checks (both visual and physical) to ensure I am able to monitor their health. I have had a cat since I was around four years old and I got a dog around 3 years ago so I am familiar with the typical routine of a domestic pet, plus I have some skills in dog training as I was required to train my dog for an assignment at college. Besides my own pets, I have cared for both cats and dogs since I was young as I would look after friends and family’s pets when they were away. I completed a six month placement at a kennel and cattery, during my first year of college, where I gained hands on experience with administering care for cats and dogs and I was taught to be able to recognise their behaviours and identify when something may be wrong. Last year I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few months where the majority of my responsibilities involved caring for cats of all ages and temperaments - which included cleaning out, feeding, providing enrichment, and socialising, especially with young or nervous cats. Some of my tasks also involved working with the dogs such as cleaning out, exercising, grooming, providing enrichment, and socialising. I am currently at college 3 days a week, however I am free on Wednesdays, Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays. I may also be available after college in the evenings in some cirumstances. I provide care in the pet owner’s home so that the animal can stay in a comfortable and familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions to ensure their routine is kept the same. I aim to build trust with both the animals and their owners through clear communication and reliability.

“Used Rosie for a one off walk for my dog. Easy to book and responded to messages promptly. Arrived on time and gave my dog a great walk. Will definitely use again!”

About: I have a dog of my own so I understand the need for support every now and again! I offer drop ins, sitting and walk services and always make an animal feel loved and happy whilst they are in my care! I have had pets all my life. I have had cats since I was born and have always loved dogs! I have experience in looking after dogs, so whether its a dog sit, walking or drop ins, I'll be sure to take good care of your dog!! I always treat other peoples dogs as I would treat my own🐾 I am very flexible and can pretty much do any times that are needed. Just send me a message and I would be sure to help you out. I can cater for any type of animal! I live in a flat but have a garden around the back of the flat which belongs to me and my downstairs neighbours (but they have moved out!) so at the moment, it belongs to me! I do have a 6 month old puppy so if you aren't too sure if your dog would be friendly with mine, please ask as I can try my best to help! If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I am currently in the process of changing my career so I am able to be very flexible and have more than enough time to dedicate to your pets!! I crate trained my dog so more than happy to use crates if required, I would pay as much attention to your dog as needed and walk them however many times they need as well. I would always treat your home with the upmost respect and ensure everything is left as it should be.

About: I have had a love of animals ever since I can remember, but dogs are my absolute love. I have cared for many over the years, including my own, friends and family. I have all the experience to provide a safe and loving environment for your dog to stay at when you need it. I have experience of many breed types and characters, as well as the knowledge to care for puppies to seniors and dogs with long term illnesses, such as diabetes or pancreatitis. I am home every day, all day and therefore am more than able to provide a tailored routine for your dog. Their needs would be my primary concern. I have a friendly dog who is always happy to have other dogs come to stay or walk with us. They would have the run of the house as our dog does. We have a garden and a wood just across the road to walk in every day.

“I booked César to take my two reactive dogs on a walk. He was patient and lovely with them. I am happy to recommend him for any services that your dogs might need!”

About: Hi! my name is Veronica and I am looking forward to take care of your four legs buddies😚 Both me and my partner are huge dog lovers and we have been dogsitting here in Southampton for a few years. My work hours are quite flexible and I have the opportunity to be at home a lot of time, so whatever your doggie’s routine is, I can adapt to it. Please reach out if you have any questions! I work from home most of the week from 9 to 5 (however, hours are flexible) and I am off on weekends. If I am out for work I will be back within 6 hours - however I’d let the owner know in advance I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment that doesn’t have a garden, however I’m in the city center with plenty of parks around us and there is no issues in going there several times per day!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Growing up i had two sausage dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. I currently have a 1 year old mastiff called Bingo that i rescued from Battersea. He is super friendly and loves making new friends so will always be happy to have dogs stay at my house if they are good with others. I also regularly look after my parents cocker spaniel Florence when they are away. When i was at uni in Brighton i used borrow my doggy to look after people’s dogs while they were at work. I looked after a dalmation called Daisy and a sausage dog called Nelly in my third year I am a teacher so will be available at weekends and during school holidays to drop in to give your pets some company or to have them at my house! I live in a house with a decent sized garden. I also have my own dog, a mastiff called Bingo. He is super friendly and loves making new friends so i will happily have dogs boarding here if they are good with others

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 50 year, from a Pyrenean to a Westie and a couple in between 😊 Now retired seeking regular exercise with a four legged friend. Since loosing our beloved Westies, Holly and Max, now semi retired with plenty time to spare, looking to find new canine friends to fill the gap. We live in a very quiet rural area with a large enclosed dog proof garden and lots of walks in the New Forest and seaside nearby

“Fantastic dog walker! Coped with my dog going off and digging and getting muddy around the face. Very nice person and happy demeanor. My dog was very happy to see her. Sammii walked him two days in a row when I had things on in my life. I couldn’t have asked for better service.”

About: I'm a dog lover but sadly my work doesn't allow me to have my own so I get my fix by dog sitting for others. I frequently look after dogs for family and friends and have had only positive feedback. I work full time Monday - Friday and one weekend in four. My work is flexible and allows for home and hybrid working giving me availability for walking and drop ins. I generally work from home Monday and Friday and am normally available from 4pm Tuesday - Thursday. My job allows a level of flexibility so if my default calendar isn't showing me as available, please give me a message and we may be able to work something out. I'm an avid hiker and walker so I'm no stranger to long walks in the forest and some canine company would compliment that. I live in a bungalow just a 5 minute drive from the beautiful New Forest and 10 minutes from the local beach. The road I live in is quiet and I am the sole occupier with no pets of my own. I have a fair sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. I treat pets as I would my own and they are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I am a non smoker and maintain a tidy home. I'm strict with their diet so you can rest assured they won't be snacking on food that isn't good for them.

“Genevieve was awesome. She bonded with Poppy and Humphrey straight away and is so flexible and reliable. We couldn’t recommend enough :)”
