Dog Walking in Plymouth

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets and others’ animals for many years, so being around dogs is second nature to me. My family runs a dog boarding and walking service, which means I’ve grown up constantly surrounded by furry friends and am very comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while in my care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I play semi-professional football for Plymouth Argyle, which means I have flexible free time during the week to walk, check in on, and care for your dog around training commitments. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed at all times. I stick closely to their usual routines, give them plenty of attention, and treat them like my own, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 12. Friends, family, and neighbours often rely on me to walk, feed, and look after their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet company, I tailor care to each pup’s needs. As a student saving for future travels, I’m grateful to spend my time doing what I love — caring for dogs! 🐕✨ I’m a uni student in my final year, and my free time mostly consist of reading, studying, or going for walks to take a break from screens — often the perfect time to have a furry friend join me! My schedule is flexible, so I can offer plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, especially on weekends and afternoons. I have a small secure fenced garden and live close to several lovely green spaces in Plymouth, perfect for safe and fun walks. I keep my environment calm and clean, ensuring pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles, or quiet rest, I’ll make sure they feel right at home and completely safe while you’re away.

About: I have lots of experience with animals - dogs in particular because I have had dogs my whole life. I also took my dog to behaviour/obedience dog training and agility training. I feel I have a strong connection with animals and can handle all types of characters and personalities. I have experience handling nervous dogs and reactive dogs and elderly dogs. I have never owned cats but my family members have lots of cats so I have experience with being around them and looking after them. I am currently a fully time university student looking to build up a bit of money alongside my studies by doing something I absolutely love which is looking after animals. Since being away from home I have found a huge gap in my life because I don’t have my dogs with me - this will allow me to be able to look after animals while I am away from home which is something I love doing. My days weekly vary and times I’m available based on my lectures but if you ping me a message I am sure we can sort something out - I am a very reliable person. I will always make sure the animal has its needs met and will follow the instructions left by the owner to ensure optimal care for the pet and peace of mind for the owner. I know how important your pets are as I have 2 dogs of my own at home and used to have a rabbit and hamsters. I absolutely love and adore all animals.

About: ❗Please note that prices are subject to travel cost and time! 🐶🐈‍⬛ I always liked being around animals and when I was young we adopted a cat and a couple of years later a dog too! I got to learn how to take good care of them on a day-to-day basis, and gained experience in handling pet visits, care after surgery and managing their requirements. Our family had multiple self-trained dogs before, so I can assure you that yours will be in safe hands as well :) I'm a university students who likes to move, go out a lot and explore! I'm quite flexible as I don't have to be in every day and I'm also happy to hop in before and after lectures. I'm sure we will be able to find a time that fits us both! I consider myself a patient and cooperative person with both dogs and cats of all kind! I always pay attention to their body language to make sure they are feeling well and comfortable in their environment. Additionally, I make sure that your pet get their daily movement and engagement by walks and playing, and of course to receive proper nutrition and hygiene. I even enjoy having small training sessions with them! Every pet is different so please let me know about their requirements and needs! I'm looking forward to working with you and your pet! :))

About: Hi, I’m Jacy! I am a passionate animal lover and have grown up surrounded by dogs and other animals. I've been caring for my friends and family's dogs since I was 13; I'm continually amazed by their loyal, loving nature and the companionship they bring. I have experience in caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes; from small energetic puppies who need lots of play, to lovable big-pawed seniors who need extra care and patience. I'm currently studying at university away from my own Sprocker Spaniel (called Roscoe), and I miss the joy and companionship that only a dog can bring. This is why I’m offering dog-walking and dog-sitting services — to stay connected with the dogs I love and to give your pup the same love and attention I would give to my own. When looking after your pet, I like to keep you updated with photos and videos of them for your peace of mind. I can provide drop-in visits, overnight pet sitting, and short or long dog walks. I am also happy to provide references from previous dog owners whose dogs I have cared for. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority, and I’m committed to providing safe, fun, and tailored walks that suit your dog's individual needs. I'm currently studying at University, so can be quite flexible and am happy to provide services on evenings and weekends too! I have a full driving license and a car so am able to access most areas in and around Plymouth 😊 I like to arrange a meet and greet before caring for your pet, to go through your dog's individual needs, routines and preferences, however this is not a requirement for me and I am happy to just go with the flow. I only offer pet sitting services at the pet owner's home; I make sure to respect your space and get to know your dog to provide the best possible personalised care I can.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and had my dachshund for almost 17 years. I love animals and I treat them as a member of the family! 💕 I am always available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate more time to pet care :) During the week I’m available for drop in visits or walks in early morning anytime before 8am or anytime after 17:30 I always ensure that pets are comfortable and have regular opportunities for fresh air and exercise in a safe environment. When caring for cats in their own home, I respect their personal space and adapt to their individual personality - whether they enjoy playtime and cuddles or prefer a quieter, more independent routine.

“I booked Sophia to take my dog Arthur out for walks every day this week, and she was fantastic. She took such great care of Arthur, making sure he was happy, well looked after, and nicely tired after his walks updating me with pictures and videos too. She was also respectful in my home and even went above and beyond making sure my two cats were happy before leaving each day. Arthur is usually very nervous, but he loved Sophia from the moment they met. I’d highly recommend her, thank you again🥰”

About: I’ll provide your pup with the 5⭐️ holiday they deserve 🥰🐶 I have grown up always with animals and worked at a kennels for a few years during my studies, I then spent 6 months in Australia where I did the Australian version of Rover and thoroughly enjoyed getting to care for each pup (for which my reviews are in my photo section). I am also a Zoology student at the university of Plymouth where I am completing my final year. My studies involve animal behaviour and nutrition which makes me passionate about providing good animal care. I am confident and experienced with all sized dogs, having worked with most breeds during my time in dog care. As I am a student I have lectures and labs dotted through the week but I am flexible with bookings and when dogs are boarding with me they only get left for short periods as I live close to campus so would just be popping out for the odd lecture and working from home the rest of the time 😊🐶 From my experience at the kennels I am good with handling dogs and will keep dogs on leads in public for their safety. I’d love to have sleepovers with your pup at my flat where they will have my full attention and love, I always send regular photo updates throughout their stay :)

“Tegan is great and we are so thankful she is able to help us out with Barney whilst we are at work. He clearly enjoys his walks as he gets super excited when she arrives.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since a young age and currently have a reactive border collie at home who requires a lot of walking and training and also a labradoodle. I’ve worked with horses doing training riding and care. I am currently studying at Plymouth uni but I have a lot of free time. I tend to go on many walks throughout the day when I’m not studying. I will care for them the entire time whether it’s playing, cuddles, walking or toilets. Due to having a reactive dog I’m incredibly aware of signs of uncomfort or anxiety.

About: As a family household we are huge dog lovers and have lots of experience caring for all types and sizes of dogs. Since losing our own beagle, we’ve found ourselves really missing the joy of having a dog around. Whether your dog loves walks, play or just a cosy cuddle, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our house or their own. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. I work part time with someone home from 2:15pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays ( we leave at 8.30am) , and full-day at home availability on other days if needed between myself and my husband Drew. We’re really excited to meet your loved ones and give them lots of attention, company and care. Our two children are around on weekends and evenings. They have grown up around both excited and nervous dogs, so they understand different behaviours and needs. Dogs are never left unattended and are always treated as part of the family. For dog walking or drop in services please check our availability calendar. Our normal availability is Monday 9.30-2.30 Thursday 9.30-2.30 and then 18-21. Saturday and Sunday all day, children will attend on weekends and holidays. Only one dog per walk unless a additional same family dog member is added. We care for pets in a calm, loving home environment and follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. We have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, as well as nearby fields and woodland for walks, and we’re also happy to travel by car for variety if your dog enjoys different walking spots. Dogs are supervised at all times and included in family life, with plenty of play, affection and rest. We’re happy to accommodate crates if required and can follow any specific instructions around feeding, exercise, medication or routines to help your dog feel settled and comfortable during their stay. Before we start walking your dog, we’ll take the time to get to know them properly. We’ll ask about the type of walks your dog enjoys most. We’ll also discuss their routine, recall, behaviour around other dogs and people, any training cues you use, and any health or mobility needs. This helps us tailor each walk to suit your dog’s personality, energy level, and wellbeing, so they feel happy, safe, and confident every time they’re out with us. Our dog walking service is one dog only at a time. Unless it’s an additional same family dog add on.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, along with 2 dogs of my own, from puppies to senior dogs, whether it’s walking them, training them, or pet sitting overnight. I am currently a student at the University of Plymouth so my weekends are free. My week consists of a few lectures but are free on Wednesdays. I always pay attention to my own dogs as well as the dogs that I look after, always giving them my time for playing as well as cuddling.

About: We always had at least one dog when I was growing up, most of the time a cat too. My most complicated house sitting experience, was one cat with medical conditions, a tropical fish tank, a goldfish pond, a house and garden full of plants to tend, and local wildlife (birds, squirrels, and badgers) to feed. It went off without a hitch and I was fully capable of that. I'm happy to take on complicated or simple jobs. Looking after pets is my primary job, so I'm free any day of the week at the moment for visits, walks or house sitting. Either regular or one offs. To start with I'd want to talk to the pet's owners to determine what the pet's everyday routine is, favourite toys, favourite walk spots etc. I believe it's important to keep life as normal as possible for your pet until your pet gets used to me, but with some added fun of course.

“Shannon was fantastic with Ted! He can be quite energetic and she handled him perfectly. Sent me lots of pictures whilst walking him which was lovely to see! Would highly recommend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

I am also a Musical Director and Project Manager, I work from home most of the time but do often work some evenings. Housesitting: I am delighted to offer my services as a house-sitter at competitive rates, as I work both inside and outside of the house during my week. Please ensure your dog is happy home alone for up to a full working day, and has a flexible schedule, if you’d like me to housesit for you. 24/7 sits available, depending on availability, at £15ph. Light cleaning included (bedsheets changed, surface wiped, vacuum cleaned) Extra cleaning is £30ph. I work from home most of the week, as I work as a Project Manager and Musical Director, so I'm only out for around 10 hours a week! I also work as a musician, but that means I am at home composing most of the time, and of course going on lovely walks with my dog. I have a house with a large front room and a little outside space. Due to the format of the house, I can only take small and medium dogs for the time being. I have plenty of doors in between the main room and the front exit, so dogs are very safe and secure in the house. PLEASE NOTE: I will only accept non-reactive dogs with no vocal issues. I live in a terraced house with 2 resident dogs, so I cannot accept dogs who are reactive/ will reactively bark/ whimper excessively.

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for my family’s golden retriever, whom I’ve looked after from puppyhood through to her senior years. This has included supporting her through surgery, managing recovery, and providing attentive care as she’s aged and become more fragile. I’m experienced with all aspects of dog care, including daily walks, bathing, feeding, administering medication, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also cared for dogs both privately and professionally, looking after pets for family friends as well as clients I hadn’t previously met, always ensuring their routines, needs, and comfort are maintained while their owners are away. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may require extra patience and support. I adapt easily to each dog’s individual personality and routine, and I’m comfortable managing specific needs or special instructions to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working bank staff, which means I’m very flexible. I have a lot of spare time and I’m free any time of day or night, even on short notice. If you prefer to pick your dog up early in the morning or late at night, that’s completely okay. I live in a house shared with close friends while attending university, creating a calm, friendly, and stable environment for pets. We have a fully fenced garden that’s ideal for quick and safe toilet breaks. The house is also conveniently located near a park, making it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor enrichment. I’m committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while in my home.

“George was great. He was able to help us out at short notice, when our original dog care had an emergency and couldn’t attend. We are very grateful for his flexibility. George kept us updated throughout the walk with pictures and I could see Hugo and Buddy were very happy in his care.”
