Dog Walking Porthill

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs, and I am confident with any size or breed. I have regularly looked after friends' pets. I can work with dogs to improve lead walking or recall (using a long line for safety), and I am able to train puppies in all the basics of good manners. As I work from home for myself, I am available for doggy daycare (including weekends), walks and home visits, providing your dog with the very best care. I am not currently able to offer house sitting or evening visits or walks. I have a fully secure back garden and three friendly dogs to keep your furry best friend company. All of my dogs are fully vaccinated and comfortable around young puppies. There is also plenty of space in the house should anyone need a time out. I have areas for on and off-lead walks on the doorstep. I have a long line for your dog's safety while they enjoy access to open spaces.

“Jo was amazing! She is caring, thoughtful and understands the dog needs. She treated Lucky as her own dog, give great feedback and sent pictures in which Lucky is happy and smilling which tells me that he loved her company. Thanks a lot, you're amazing, Jo!”

About: Hi, I’m Hollie! I’m 23 years old and have 2 cats myself that I love and adore. The first is Izzy, the family cat, who I’ve had for 15 years and the second is my own kitty; Beau Bear. I absolutely adore cats and would love to look after your precious pets for you whilst you are away. :) I’m currently studying at an online university so have flexible hours to fit in looking after your pets and working remotely. Staying over at client’s homes or visiting throughout the day does not interrupt my routine and I’m glad to do so. I’m very adaptable when it comes to looking after pets. I pride myself on fitting to yours and your pets’ routines to keep their environment and days familiar and stress-free. I will adjust my day accordingly to your needs.

About: I spent 14 years caring for my own Labrador, so I understand the daily rhythm dogs and cats need — regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention. Alongside that, I've helped friends and neighbours look after their dogs and cats whenever they've gone on holiday, covering everything from walks and feeding to daily drop-in visits to check in, play, and keep them company. I know how much peace of mind it gives you to know your pet is in safe, familiar hands while you're away. Whether it's a daily walk, a feeding visit, or a full day of company, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. I'm based in Stoke-on-Trent. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific routine and needs before we get started. My schedule gives me great flexibility for regular care. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I'm free all day and can offer morning, midday, or evening dog walks, along with drop-in visits at any time that suits you. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm at university, so I'm generally available in the evening. On weekends, I'm available in the afternoons around my work schedule. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet's routine. For dogs, I focus on giving them plenty of exercise with long walks, along with lots of playtime and attention throughout the visit. For cats, I bring that same energy minus the walks — spending time playing, engaging with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and looked after while their owners are away. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer visit, my goal is to make sure every pet gets genuine attention, not just the basics.

About: Hello! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals, I have owned cats and dogs since I was a baby and have grown up around animals. I currently care for five cats—four of whom are rescues, one of them being very nervous and shy which we are working through—and two dogs, including a high-energy Boxer and a long-haired Cockapoo. Living with such a diverse mix of personalities has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I’m very comfortable handling everything from playful, energetic pets to more nervous or shy animals that need extra patience and understanding. I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where every pet feels secure and well cared for. I offer flexible services including house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or general check-ins. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise and stimulation or a gentle, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I am currently working part time at a football stadium however the season has now finished meaning I have time available for pet sitting. I occasionally volunteer as I have a degree working with horses however that is dependant on my work schedule. I have two dogs that are extremely friendly and love meeting new dogs if there is a nervous dog in need of a friend on walks, I am constantly observing the behaviour of new dogs and cats in first meetings to ensure they are comfortable, I am always ready to play and offer different types of enrichment for both cats and dogs to decrease boredom!

“Elena is fantastic. She walks my two dogs. She takes so much care of them and keeps me updated with videos and photos. Thanks Elena.”

About: I’m a 4th year vet student with lots of experience working with both dogs and cats over the years. I’ve worked at rescue centres, doggy day care facilities and vet practices and I’ve also taken care of pets for family and neighbours. I absolutely love animals. I’m really passionate about making sure they’re happy healthy and well looked after while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially during the summer. I’m currently on a break from school/placement, which means I have availability during various weeks throughout the summer. While my schedule isn’t open for the entire summer, I do have flexibility during certain weeks and am happy to dedicate that time to caring for pets, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I make sure the home is pet proof by removing hazards keeping an eye on doors and windows. I also follow any specific instruction from the owner regarding feeding walks or medication to ensure their pets routine is maintained. I will send owners regular updates with photos and details on how their pet is doing. I’ll make sure to give their pets, plenty of attention, affection and playtime making them feel at ease while their family is away.

About: I’ve had pets since childhood, I am experienced caring for energetic puppies and senior animals, and truly enjoy spending time with pets while meeting all needs. I adore all animals and would love to get to know your fur babies! I work from home 4 days a week meaning I am flexible in terms of when I can attend your home to look after your pets. I enjoy my fitness so taking pets on walks at lunch works perfectly for me and I am flexible on most weekends. I am used to pets with medical issues and have extreme attention to detail when it comes to your pets. I have dealt with reactive dogs and been in difficult situations making me super aware of my surroundings and allowing me to protect your pets further. I am patient with shy animals and will always entertain those pets which love to cause chaos!

“Charlie is absolutely lovely to work with. She's punctual, approachable, and Harris took to her straight away which is rare as Harris usually cautious with new people. We are so happy to have found Charlie and are excited for many more walks as well as potential house sitting in the future. Highly recommend her!”

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, with love patience and attention to their unique needs and personality. What sets me apart is my caring nature as well as my ability to adapt to each dog routine to help them feel safe and happy whilst you’re away. I take time to build trust with both pets and owners, offering regular updates and genuine care. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, long walks or simply keeping them company, I am committed to providing an stress-free environment for your furry friend! As a university student with a structured but flexible schedule I’m used to managing my time carefully and pet care fits into that routine really well. I plan my day around my responsibilities, which means I can give your pets the attention they need at regular times. Caring for animals brings balance to my day; I genuinely find it rewarding and relaxing. Whether I’m fitting a walk in before uni or checking in on a cat in the evening, I make sure their needs come first and are part of my routine. (I apologise if I’m unable to accommodate your pet’s care at certain times due to my university schedule and placement commitments. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly in advance.) For the comfort and wellbeing of your pet, I offer pet sitting and care visits in your home rather than mine. This keeps your pet in a familiar environment and reduces stress, especially for cats and other home loving pets. I’m more than happy to do drop in visits, feeding, walking and giving them company in their own space. I am just unavailable to provide care in my home at this time.

“Really great communication and very reliable. Charlotte looked after my dog as if he was her own.”

About: I've loved animals my whole life. I grew up with my west highland white terrier sister and a menagerie of other pets Seeing and spending time with animals is 100% my happy place. My parents have always had Westies including a beautiful pair of sisters who made it to the ripe old age of 16. As a child and even into early adulthood I never knew a life without dogs in it. I have personally had over 26 years of being a cat owner (although I'm not sure that's not the other way round haha). My current fur baby is a very handsome gentleman who is nearing the ripe old age of 21 who loves cuddles and I have to admit is spoilt rotten ;) Since I was made redundant during the Covid lockdown I've made a life/career change to focus on things I love. As well as looking after pets, I'm now an artist/crafter specialising in pet portraits (CraftyEvey) and can sometimes be seen at the Makers Market at Trentham. I love going to Trentham because I get to steal lots of fusses from the dogs that are walking past haha. Joining Rover has given me even more of what I love – sharing my time with animals. I've had the great pleasure of caring for close to around 20 different animals so far and can't wait to meet more. Some people have said that they think I'm a dog/cat whisperer but honestly I think it's just because I'm calm and I take time for them to show me what they need. Some have been cuddle-bunnies, others were nervous and needed space and understanding. My primary focus is making sure they're happy and hopefully having such a nice time that they don't miss their parents too much. Sadly my cats haven't been without their medical issues over the years. The good news from that is that I have experience giving liquid oral medication and administering injections. I'm also quite happy handling raw meat if that's what you normally feed your pet(s) with. Whatever you need I promise you can trust me to treat them as I would my own. As a self employed artist my schedule is very flexible. I need several hours per day to work on my art but the timing of that is completely within my control. My priority making sure your fur babies are happy, safe and secure. I will take your lead regarding existing any routines they have and am happy to meet and greet with you beforehand to ensure your comfort in trusting me.

About: Lifelong pet lover here! I've cared for everything from dogs to hamsters. I’ll happily walk, feed, and bathe, clean your pets—no mess is too big! My schedule is super flexible, so I can fit your pet's needs in any day, any time. I'm ready when you and your pets are! Your pet's safety and routine are my top priorities. I follow your guidelines closely, ensuring a trustworthy, comfortable environment that keeps your pets happy and secure.

“Paul has been great with Marley, she always loves when he visits and we love the updates. She even gets excited when we say Paul's coming to see her. Thank you for taking care of our little old lady.”
