Dog Walking in North Dorset

About: Hello, I'm Ali for short, I hail from Turkey and I've been surrounded by animals since day one. My partner Sam and I have a pretty GSD named Ruby and a cluster of cats who are all fixed, flead, and wormed; All our pets are cat, dog, kid, and disabled friendly! I've experienced all sorts of animals; cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds, and won't shy away from giving medicine, cutting nails, grooming, or cleaning up litter or messes. I've rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed animals along with my family growing up and then did it on my own, but now due to a little one cannot risk aggression. If you choose us you will be updated with pics + vids, and can call us at anytime to check in on your pet, with us they are a beloved member of the family and not just a paycheck :) I am also flexible, adaptable, and always happy to work out a deal or discount within reason! Thank you for your time and have a lovely day~ Additional information: My partner and I are home at all times so all pets will be accompanied and loved as they are our own. We are a loving, patient, non-smoking and non-alcoholic family with lots of toys, a large backyard, and furfriends your pet can play and be socialised with. Our pets are family and will always be, and our little one is being raised surrounded by their love just as we were at her age, therefore they are allowed on furniture, to follow us around, and to sleep with us for comfort, unless stated otherwise by yourself. Your pet will never be left alone, left out, closed in, or locked up, they will be treated as a priority rather than an afterthought. We always do one long evening walk when it's quiet and the weather is cool. We have long 10 meter leads that give freedom without risking safety during the walks. All our pets are neutered, up to date on their vaccinations, wormed, flead and are cat, dog, kid, and disabled friendly!

“Zoe was able to walk my dog last minute as I had to leave him at home unexpectedly. He is a bit of an anxious dog and Zoe took the time to let him get comfortable with her and sent me written updates and pictures :)”

About: I have a huge amount of experience with dogs, cats and countryside animals. I have a big, friendly, lab cross of my own and have cared for everything from a whippet to a malamute cross. Coming from the countryside and being ex-military I am more than happy to be out come rain or shine and can always be counted on. I place high value on enrichment and positive reinforcement having seen the amazing results and truly believe that every dog has a unique set of traits and needs that deserve to be met. I have an abundance of patience, understanding and care that I can’t wait to show your dog. Since I have my own dog pet care is intrinsic to my daily life. I work most Tuesdays and every other weekend but am very flexible. Knowing their routine, likes and dislikes are key to caring for a pet in their own home to make it as least stressful as possible. I would like to meet first for a free initial consultation to make sure we’re a good fit and to get the low down on how you would like me to care for your pet.

About: I've taken care of various family members dogs when they go on holiday, these range from kings charles cavs spaniels, golden retriever and labs, and take care of neighbours dogs when they go on holiday, making your furry friend part of the family. I am currently working full time but will have spare time on some evenings and days off to care for dogs and take for walks, and if need boarding there is always someone at home, I have a fenced in garden if dogs come to stay, also a fair sized garden for dogs to play in and have fun and run around,

About: My love of dogs started when I was a child, I grew up with golden retrievers and ever since dogs have been a massive part of my life. I have walked and looked after dogs for a long time. It was when I was nannying in London and walking the families dog that I realised that I needed to do this full time. I was fully responsible for every aspect of her care, from feeding, washing, grooming and administering her prescriptions. I have dog walkers insurance and a clean and up to date DBS. I am also booked in to do a dog first aid course. I'm very excited to hear from you and meet all your wonderful dogs! I am currently starting up as a professional dog walker and boarder so all my time can be dedicated to looking after and walking dogs. I live in a converted chapel in the middle of the countryside. I have a multitude of wonderful country walks for your fur babies to enjoy. Inside my house the dogs are free to roam as they please. If crate trying is preferred, then this can be accommodated. My aim is for my home to their home for as long as they are with me. I aim to make their experience as enjoyable as possible.

About: I have always had animals in my life, having my first responsibility for animal care at the age of 9 when I was lucky enough to loan a pony, this gave me a fundamental understanding of the love and care animals need and I have continued my love for providing happy and fulfilling lives for pets since then. I have lived in the same small village since the age of 10 where I now help my elderly neighbours with the weekly dog walking when they need me. I have owned and cared for my pets through each stage of their life, meeting their additional care needs through the later stages of their life providing them with the most comfortable experience possible. Toby (my partner) who often accompanies me on house sits so that we are able to balance working and caring for your pets to the best standard between us, has also had a lifetime of experience with pets. We currently have two cats together that we both equally adore. Both me and Toby are currently working and studying part time so between us we have lots of time to play and fuss over your pets. We aim to prioritise your pets usual daily routine to provide them with the most comfortable experience with me. I will keep your pets company, providing lots of attention whilst keeping up their required exercise.

About: I've taken care of a variety of animals throughout my life, from equine care, to small animals, and regular volunteering at a dog rescue, with dogs from all walks of life. I am available full time to be able to look after your beloved dogs and fill their days with enrichment, attention and lots of fun. I have lots of experience with canine body language and I'm able to confidently care for your dog/s, treating them with the love and respect that they deserve. I love going on long walks, and am used to being outside in all weathers, so your dogs will be walked rain or shine. I will be there to comfort your pet if they are feeling anxious and distract them, but I'll also respect their personal space and their need to rest. I'll always tailor my services to meet your dog's specific needs and personality.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, including Retrievers, labradors, Staffordshire bull terriers, beagles, cavapoos, cocker spaniels. I have successfully trained dogs with ease. I live with my partner Will who is also a dog lover, and our Cocker Spaniel. We have a big fenced garden and live near wonderful countryside walking areas. As we already have a Spaniel we are used to round the clock dog care. We both work from home so are able to be with the dogs. We have a big garden which is fenced and totally secure. We have a crate which can be assembled should the owner prefer their dog to be in a crate at any point. The dogs are happy sleeping in the kitchen overnight. No dogs are allowed upstairs or on the furniture, but we have plenty of comfy dog beds!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just love being with them! I’ve done periods of dog training with a springer spaniel including, heel practice, distraction techniques, agility and obedience. Growing up as a family we’ve had a Shetland pony, horse, goats, guinea pigs, cats and rabbits. Most recently on my sits I will ask if there’s any specific that needs to be maintained over the sit, for example I maintained a structure of training for a rescue I was looking after. My work schedule is incredibly flexible so I can offer a variety of slots and availability but it’s hard to list this via the app. Please message for specifics, my office also allows for dogs to come to work so if that’s something you would be interested in then that’s a possibility! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐾 My working schedule is: Monday 5:30-11pm Tuesday 11-3 (working from home) 3-11pm (office) Wednesday 9-5pm (office) Thursday (working from home) And my work is very flexible so I can rearrange where needed to suit! I would be looking after in the owners home, I would understand how the owner cares for their dog and the games/ play they have and ensure to keep this to a similar care. Ensuring time for lots of play & cuddles!

About: I LOVE animals! I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and have had dogs in my home! I love both cats and dogs and am a very respectful, responsible young lady who understands the stress when going away to find someone you feel comfortable and happy with in your home! I have a sprokerpoo called Ernie, and we’ve recently had this issue! I work from home with my own business in social media management, so I thought why not offer pet sitting and other services! I also have qualifications in teaching and elderly care so I am an overall compassionate and loving person! As I work from home (or anywhere with internet) I can virtually be free most of the time to pet sit! I drive and am happy to travel to you for petrol fees! If anyone has any questions you can always message! I am very eager to meet, play with and love your pets just as much as you do 🤍 I work for myself, so I choose my own hours! If you have internet in your home (if I’m house sitting) your pet friends will have a companion all day everyday for as long as you need! Working from home means I have availability to walk and drop in to see your little darlings too! In my home, I have a fully enclosed garden and have to make sure everything is put away! (Shoes are my puppy’s favourite!) I am very aware of my surroundings with my dog and what is safe for him to eat/not eat! I work full time for myself from home so this allows me a large amount of flexibility regarding my routine. This is a huge benefit to pet owners I help as I can work around your schedule/your pets schedule at ease! If I have any work calls whilst at your home I will let you know timings in advance, but this will not impact your pet sitting/daycare experience in any way! If your pet is coming to my home. He/she will be safe at all times. I won’t leave your pet if that’s what you require and make sure they are safe and well looked after at all times!

Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine due to the flexibility of my self-employment and work-from-home setup. This unique arrangement allows me to dedicate substantial time and attention to the well-being of pets under my care. My active lifestyle, which includes a love for walking and running, naturally aligns with the exercise needs of furry companions. Having been immersed in the company of animals since a young age, I have deep understanding and familiarity with the care of various species, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Growing up in an environment where pets were an integral part of the family, I developed a keen sense of responsibility and compassion towards their well-being.
