About: Hi I’m Tony Dog walker and pet photographer. I’m experienced with animals and working outdoors. Also have a background in photography. So I started a business for what I’m good at. Reach out for a chat! I’m always prepared with a first aid kit, emergency lead and harnesses, water and treats. Because of the areas I walk the dogs do get muddy but we try get as clean as possible before we drop you furry friends off home with my portable shower. I also provide professional pet photography services and free prints for dog walking clients. Get in touch for more information Meet and greets plus a 15min wander around the block is free. Then the first 3 walks are half price as a trial which have no obligation to continue services if you’re not happy and any walks not taken will be refunded no questions asked. (Please get in touch for more information on pricing Rover can change things without me knowing) Thanks My walks are from 30mins to 2hrs depending on your dogs needs. We go to countryside locations and aim to avoid as much tarmac as possible giving your dog the best enrichment. I keep a dog safe environment and only walk a maximum of 4 dogs . I’m prepared with first aid kits a dog shower towels and leads. Walks are pre walked for safety purposes and you can contact me anytime for more information. I work alone and quite like it that way, dogs are all the company I need. I often have my dog Neo with me or if you require a solo walk this can be arranged. If you have more than one dog in a household i can discount a service for you. I use long lines extended leads and can provide an harness if needed. safety is paramount for your dogs and the environment. We have a wash after if needed and a brush to get out any tics and sticks (or branches if your a long haired dog ) Outing always take longer than the paid time when driving and pickups are included. My vehicle is insured for dog transport and ready to for our adventures to make sure they get there and back. I’m an experienced dog walker and photographer. I have insurance and a DBS, I have worked with animals and photography in previous jobs and I’ve always been a dog person. I’m also a keen hiker having trekked across jungles mountains and volcanoes I’m a sure bet your dog will be safe out and about under my supervision.

About: I have been brought up around dogs throughout my childhood and love all sorts of animals. Most recently I have spent the last 3 years fostering for a rescue charity in the USA, rescuing puppies and other dogs from the streets or shelters, giving them loving homes, patience, potty training and preparing them for their furever homes. I have 3 children (9-13) who share my love of animals and stop to stroke every dog/cat in the streets as we walk! I don’t currently have any pets of our own in the house (except fish and a rabbit!) so can give your pet plenty of attention! I work part time from home and can dictate my hours so can be flexible around pets needs, as a family we love long walks at the weekends too and live 5 minutes from the beach. We live in a 5 bed terraced house in Southsea with an enclosed back yard and 5 minute walk from the beach and fields. Happy to crate or allow pets freedom within our home.

About: While I wasn’t lucky enough to grow up with my own dog, I have always been around family and friend’s dogs. On moving to London, I signed up to Borrow My Doggy and looked after multiple dogs - both just for walks and in owners’ houses. I was lucky to be down the road from a good friend for 3 years and regularly looked after their whippet (Goose) when they needed. I even had her for a sleepover when they welcomed their baby. I am confident and assertive around dogs and would just love to have them in my life a bit more while I’m still unable to get my own. I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays and would love to have a pup to snooze by my feet for some of the day and get me out and about walking too. At weekends I am fairly social but love getting out for walks whether with friends or on my own. I have recently moved back to Portsmouth and into my first house. I have a small garden and would be happy to have dogs in my home.

About: Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep intuitive understanding of animal behaviour and the unspoken language of trust over the years, I've become the go to caretaker for friends and family stepping in to provide a calm, stable environment for their most cherished companions wherever they travel, whether it's managing. The specific works of a senior cat. Keeping a high energy dog energised or simply offering a patient presence for a shy pet. It is a central structured part of my daily rhythm.I have intentionally built a lifestyle that allows me to be present and attentive , ensuring that your pets schedule remains the top priority I work remotely Monday to Friday at home I provide a calm environment designed for comfort and total peace of mind.My home is a pet and safe sanctuary.Where routines are strictly honoured whether that means a quiet corner for a nap.Structured play sessions or curling up together at the end of the day

About: My partner and I have experience looking after both small and medium-sized dogs. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From a young age, I learned the responsibility that comes with owning a pet and making sure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. We’ve cared for our friends’ dogs on several occasions, from a few days to a few weeks while they were away or needed an extra helping hand. We made sure they were fed on schedule, taken for at least two walks a day, had plenty of playtime, and received lots of love and attention. We understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so we’ll always follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. We’ll care for your dog just as we would our own. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available most weekdays outside of work, as well as evenings and weekends. I know how important it is to find someone reliable, so I’ll always do my best to fit around your schedule and keep you updated while you’re away. My husband and I live in a cosy, pet-friendly flat where your pet will be treated like part of the family. We looked after our own cat for many years, and we’ve also cared for our friends’ and family’s pets whenever they needed a helping hand. Our home is clean, safe, and free from anything that could be dangerous for pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with us.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for around 10 years. I grew up with a Chow Chow, and now my family has a Weimaraner and a British Shorthair cat. Even though they’re back home with my family, I still spend time with them whenever I can — caring for animals has always been something that makes me feel happy and calm. Hi! I’m Shiyi. I’ve always loved being around animals. they make life so much warmer. I grew up with dogs, and now I live with my own sweet Weimaraner, who’s a big part of my everyday life. If your pet stays with me, I’ll treat them just like my own. I usually take dogs out three times a day, about an hour each time. We walk, play, explore a bit, and just enjoy the fresh air together. I’m at home most of the time, so your pet will never feel lonely here. They’ll get plenty of company, care, and calm attention all day long. I love creating a relaxed space where pets can feel happy, safe, and loved. If you’re looking for someone kind and responsible to look after your pet with real heart, I’d be so happy to help. I live in a quiet and pet friendly home near Gunwharf Quays, with plenty of open space and safe walking areas nearby. It’s a calm place where pets can relax easily and feel at home. I always keep my space clean, comfortable, and safe for both cats and dogs. When a pet stays with me, I make sure they have their own cozy spot, fresh water, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important trust is, so I keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they always know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have moved to Portsmouth from NZ and here for my husband's job. Unfortunately, we had to leave our dog Remy in NZ with family. He is a 5 year old schnauzer. I love animals, I'm reliable, friendly and great with small/medium sized dogs. Happy to help with regular walks or the occasional extra hand and dog sitting. As I work part-time, I make sure I’m not working on days I care for a dog, so they receive lots of attention and companionship. Your dog will join me for morning and evening walks. If I need to pop out for groceries or errands, your dog will be safely left in their crate. At night, they’ll sleep in their crate in my room, so they won’t be alone overnight — and I’ll be right nearby. I provide attentive and responsible pet care in my apartment. Dogs are always kept on a lead during walks, and I take them out for morning and evening walks to ensure they get enough exercise and fresh air. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I miss having a dog around, I’ll happily soak up all the tail wags, walks, and puppy love your dog has to offer.

About: I’ve grown up with and had dogs my whole life. I love being in their company on walks and seeing the joy it brings them. I’ve had Otis since he was a puppy, trained him well and look forward to him making new friends! I’m currently working part time, available Mondays, Thursdays and Weekends! I walk Otis twice a day around local woods, shoreline and large playing fields. I have a fenced in garden, 1 dog Otis who has access to most rooms and the garden. We play treat games for stimulation and have quiet time for naps.

About: I've had dogs in my life from our Pointer when I was a child to more recently my Labrador who is no longer with us. My partner has a Shih Tzu and we share looking after her as we live in separate houses. I work mornings from home and every afternoon walk along the seafront where I live, so why not walk with a dog? I'm also very close to Southsea Common and enjoy walking there as well. I can either pick up your dog or it can be dropped off depending on the time. I have a walled garden and a house with no carpet on the ground floor - which comes in handy for any accidents! I live on my own but could only house sit at weekends as I work every morning.

About: I have my own dog who is 3 and is a bit mad, I regularly take care of friends and family’s dogs, happy to take care of young puppies too. I work shifts so tend to have a lot of free time during the day, my week changes from week to week but it’s worth a message to see if I’m free Currently living in house with garden, dogs of all energy levels suit me. I’m able to come to owners house too for check ins and walks.

“Over all really good service, communication before the service was a tad hit and miss, but James certainly made up for it when we met him and with his great reports. He was very nice and the cat loved him! They seem to had a great time! Thanks James”

About: I’m currently training to become a Level 3 qualified Dog Groomer and have had dogs all my life, so I’m confident, calm and comfortable caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. Qualified in Canine First Aid. I'm currently working part time so can be flexible and have plenty of time to care for your dogs, open to boarding and in-house sitting also, available on weekends also. I have a secure garden with no external access from street, crate available if/when needed. We have a two year old mixed breed dog who is very loving and friendly.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to rabbits and birds. Growing up, I had two Labradors, Nemo and Bruce, and my nan also bred Labradors, which gave me valuable experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have a 7 year old Shih-poo called Luna. Last year, she suffered a spinal injury, which is unfortunately quite common in her breed. Supporting her through a strict three month recovery programme and medication plan required patience, consistency, and attentive care. Thanks to this, we were able to avoid surgery, and she is now back to being a happy and healthy pooch. This experience also gave me firsthand understanding of the extra care, gentle handling, and attention some dogs may need during recovery or later in life. I am regularly trusted by family and friends to care for their pets while they are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual routine, I take the time to make sure each pet receives the attention they deserve. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to providing the highest standard of care. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I will always provide the same level of care, affection, and attention that I give to Luna (and she is one pampered pooch!). While I don't have professional pet care qualifications, I have a lifetime of hands on experience with animals and pride myself on being reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Your pet's wellbeing will always be my top priority. I currently work part time, which gives me the flexibility to provide your pet with plenty of care, attention, and companionship. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their usual routine. Your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. During drop in visits, I'll make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and has everything they need, whether that's fresh water, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks, or simply some company and affection. For walks, I'll ensure your dog is exercised safely and enjoys plenty of enrichment along the way. I'll always follow your instructions regarding routines, training, and any specific needs your pet may have. I understand the trust involved in caring for both your pet and your home, and I will always treat them with the utmost respect and care.
