Dog Walking in Ribble Valley

“Amber has had such a great time this week. Katie seems to be accepted as part of the tribe, Amber gets very excited to see Katie. I have genuinely appreciated having had Katie this week, to step in. A high recommendation from both of us. I’ve loved receiving the pictures and Amber even comes back clean, after her mud adventures. I’m glad Katie has had an opportunity to see how magical Amber is 🐾”

About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, fish the lot! I can provide great care for dogs and cats overnight or just day walks and feeding. Work from home so i am available most days apart from weekends unless it is an overnight stay of a few nights then that isn't a problem. Your dog has to be good with kids as I have a 10 year old son but he knows how to treat animals properly. I have a large fenced garden and live near large fields, my home is big enough for large dogs, warm and cosy. I can drive to your home if preferred and am very trustworthy having a dog myself I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets.

“For as long as I have known Jazmine, she has had an intuitive understanding for animal behaviour, she has a true passion for working with animals and has the perfect temperament for working side by side with them. Her passion for animals has surpassed her personal life so much so that she has dedicated 3 years of her academic life to delve further into her love and understanding for animals, having studied the subject in university. She has had a multitude of personal animal experience with her having many pets through her life, those pets of choice being hamsters and cats, which she has raised and taken care of with tender loving care. I believe that Jazmine is the perfect match for this job role, she has the tender loving personality that is needed to seek to provide the best care she can at all times, she is willing to go above and beyond to appease the requests of her clients and is always a reliable person to call upon when needed. This role of becoming a dog caregiver would be the perfect match for Jazmine, her academic background coupled with her loving and caring personality as well as her experience with pets herself would mean that you could rely on her to give the utmost attention and love needed when they left in her good hands.”

“Presley is the best. She is great with our pet dog Bertie who is 11. She been taking care of him for the last six years and we won’t leave him with anyone else!”

“Megan is a conscious and responsible individual who is caring in nature and reliable. She has been bought up around animals, specifically dogs and has a proven track record in their care and welfare. She has routinely looked after and cared for both family and friends dogs, both large and small breeds. I have no hesitation in sponsoring her for this application.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was little. Whether that be our family dog, grandparents dogs, family friends when they went away for the weekend! I have volunteered in a kennels so I have experience when it comes to bathing your four-legged friends and so much more!! I currently work 4 days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Leaving me with plenty of spare time to care and cuddle with your precious pets. I live in the country side so plenty of long, beautiful walks just around the corner! I have plenty of space in my flat if the pet needs to be crated, I can accommodate.

About: Grew up looking after two dogs (Labrador and Munsterlander) but unable to commit to owning a dog due to work schedule as I work in London three days a week and which days I am in London often change week by week. I work in London so only wfh two days a week in Clitheroe. Available for ad hoc walks/sitting but cannot commit to a weekly basis. Fenced garden with no current pets or kids. House is right next to a field so can easily walk dog multiple times a day. Partner loves dogs too.

“Leah and her boyfriend Fletcher regularly dogsit at our family farm. She has been an employee of mine for years now but our relationship extends way beyond the workplace environment. We regularly see them on a social level, we don’t just solely expect them to look after our farm. Despite there being 30 years between us in age, I consider Leah and Fletcher best friends of ours and I wouldn’t leave the safety and care of all my animals in the hands of anyone else. Our dogs in particular don’t take instantly to anyone and bark regularly at any guests visiting, even my sisters and sons, but with Leah it’s a different story. They don’t bark or hide and they even fight to sit on her lap the second she sits down which is totally unheard of. My husband and I were rightfully taken aback the first time this happened and from that point I just knew the subconscious bond she has with animals. If you have any questions or want more information I am happy to discuss this recommendation over the phone too.”

About: I’ve have owned dogs and cats for the last 18 years, from puppies and kittens all the way through to Seniors. I now have two lovely house cats called Astrid & Angus who are Siamese X Ragdoll X British Shorthair. They’ve just turned 1 in June 2023. Due to working from home, I also regularly walk my mums dogs Coco, Betsy and Hetty and care for them during the week whilst she’s at work. I will treat your fur-babies like they are my own and ensure that the best possible care is provided to them. I work from home full time so I have the flexibility to work around yours and your pets needs when needed. I have full access to a vehicle Whatever your usual routine is, I can follow that, ensuring that your absence does not disrupt your pets daily routine. If there’s anything additional then let me know

“Rose is responsible, caring and loving. She has a rescue dog from Hungary who is sweet, gentle and easy going through Rose’s hard work with her. She also has a spaniel who is easy going non-confrontational with all dogs. She is based is a lovely area with fantastic walks and she always puts her dogs first. Rose is knowledgeable about keeping dogs healthy and happy. She is even great with dogs that have issues and has has looked after a nervous dog with the same care and calmness that she shows to all dogs. I would recommend Rose to anyone who wants someone they can trust to walk or look after their dog as well as they do it themselves.”

About: I have had both dogs and cats ever since I was a baby which means I have valuable experience of pet sitting. I have experience with many types of animals and there is no breed I dislike. I work full time currently, however my shifts are different each day so I always either have a full morning or all afternoon free with two full days off. Weekends the latest I finish is 3 so I always have time. I have a fenced garden and cctv. I have two dogs already who are great around other pets and I have a crate should it ever be needed.

About: Ollie & co. was started as I believe there is a need for a service which provides tailored dog walking designed in relation to your dog's behavioural needs. Along with Ollie (or alone if your dog prefers their own company) your dog can enjoy quiet countryside walks 7 days a week. I am degree level qualified in Animal Behaviour as well as working with the most progressive behaviour teams in the country at the UK's leading dog rescue charity. This has provided me with years of dog behaviour and handling experience with dogs of varying behavioural needs. I only use 100% positive training methods and am against the use of negative or dominance based training theories.
