Dog Walking in Richmondshire

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, which has led me to dedicate my education to animal and equine sciences. Their welfare has always been my top priority, and I have extensive experience working with a variety of equines, dogs and cats, owning one of each! I have been trusted to take care of friends' and neighbours' animals many times. I am currently studying at University, making me very flexible and able to cater to all animal and owner needs. I am currently studying Equine Therapy and Rehabilitation at university, so I have full availability from Fridays through to Mondays. So, having a weekend away? Why not get in touch? I am very adaptable to all types of personalities, needs and requirements and can cater for all and I have particular experience working with nervous dogs. I understand leaving a pet in the care of someone else is always nerve-wracking, but will provide a safe and trustworthy environment to allow your dog to thrive.

“Ollie loved his first walk with Kelly. He came back a tired boy and was sad when she left. We look forward to booking Kelly for future dog walking.”

“Mick and Robyn did a meet and greet prior to meeting Archie and made me feel very at ease he would be in good hands. Although Robyn was then away with work, Mick did an excellent job looking after him for 2 nights. He catered to his exercise needs and sent me updates and photographs regularly. Mick was great with Archie and I'm not sure he actually wanted to return home after his stay. Will definitely use again. Thank you both! :)”

“Lovely person friendly with people and my dog lover her walk I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker she come and mets u and the dog before the day of dog walking never lets you down and I will be using her again to walk my dog thanks so much”

“From living with Jack and witnessing his care and responsibility towards his own dog, Callie, assures me he'd make an excellent dog sitter. He is highly attentive to Callie and always prioritises her well being. I would highly recommend him for this!”

“Leigh has just doggy sat my yorkie whilst I was on Holiday. Together with her own well behaved Labs , she sent me daily updates and photos of the dogs exercising on the beach and then having chill time. I felt I could enjoy my holiday with the peace of mind my doggo was looked after in a home setting.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and had my own family dogs and cats my whole life! I’m currently studying veterinary physiotherapy at uni hoping to go onto a career with dogs and horses. I’ve also completed a canine first aid course as part of my degree :) Currently i’m home from uni until October, I work part time on a horseracing yard but can fit my hours around bookings and therefore be flexible to suit your dogs needs :) I can offer your pets lots of cuddles and care for them however you prefer. I have doggy seatbelts for my car if needed but equally happy to walk them around their home area!

About: Starting early, I did work experience in a kennels and animal sanctuary at school and progressed on to Animal Care college at 16. Since then I've had my own animals from dogs to cats, chickens to rats...and looked after many others from dog walking to overnight stays. A qualified teacher now enjoying a slower pace of life! I'm self employed and work as a Jewellery designer and tutor so I am very flexible. I live in a beautiful area away from too many people and traffic. I'm a huge nature fan so I walk every day with my own dog and would love to have more company of the furry variety to enjoy my strolls! I have a 3 year old Border Collie who we had as a puppy from the dogs trust. We also have two cats, a Gecko and three chickens. We live on a private woodland estate. I work self employed so I'm flexible with timings however early mornings are tricky due to school runs. I generally work in my studio from 11-4 but again, I'm flexible. I have a Collie who you could say is spoilt, however I would say he's loved to bits! I also have two cats, one 14 and one 7 as well as 8 hens and 5 cockerels. Huge animal lover who prefers animals to people! 🤣

“I highly recommend Meagan as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Meagan has proven to be extremely trustworthy and experienced in her role. Her kind and compassionate nature shines through in her interactions with animals. Meagan's experience in caring for pets is evident in the way she handles various situations with ease and confidence. She is knowledgeable about different breeds, their specific needs, and how to provide the best care for each individual pet. Whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or administering medication, Meagan is attentive and thorough in her responsibilities.”

About: Being a dog owner of 16 years to my boys, Pedro the Bichon and Max the chocolate lab, has enabled me to build skills in looking after dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently working part time freelance, which means I currently have a very flexible schedule, and can sometimes be booked at very short notice. I have a fenced garden for your dogs to run around and do their business at any time. I will be available to your dogs needs throughout the duration of their stay and will always be given attention.

“I was recommended Jane and Lee from a friend and start to finish their communication was fantastic. We didn't get a chance to meet them before the sit and they seemed confident this wouldn't be an issue and it wasn't. They confirmed the sit a few days before and arrival time, they messaged on the morning telling me they were on their way and they arrived promptly to go over everything. I think I was worried about what they needed to know but Jane and Lee were professional and it was clear they had experience in this job. They made sure they knew everything they needed to before we left and they sent photos daily of my 2 dogs, who looked extremely happy. There were no issues during the sit but I do feel if there were any Jane and Lee are more than capable of dealing with it. I felt very happy leaving my home and dogs with them. I can not recommended them enough. The house was cleaner than I'd ever seen it when we arrived home and the dogs were clearly happy as they kept running back to Lee after greeting us. The dogs also went round the house looking for Jane and Lee when they had left so they made a great impression on them.”

“Great service, picked up promptly and even agreed to look after Bisley for an extra half an hour as i was on a comoany lunch 11/10”

About: I moved out of my home when I was 17 with my childhood fury friend Jessy, I looked after her very well and gave her infinite love, but over the past couple of months she has passed to old age and there is a big hole in my heart. I love to walk/hike and it feels very lonely without Jess I would love this opportunity to get to know other pups and create memories and bonds with them I had with my dear jess. Although I don't have any paid per experience close ones watching how I treated my jessy trusted them to ask me to pet sit there dogs, i now regularly look after a poodle who I love for over 6 months, a golden retriever and a German shepherd. I am currently as of recently unemployed so my availability is very wide ranged:) i always create strong bonds with animals and I know how to keep them happy. If my employment status changes I will update immediately. My house is a dog proof home, a fenced grassed garden, hundreds of dog toys to choose from, a soft bed and numerous os different types of dog foods

“I have known Oyinkansola for over five years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. Whether it be a dog or a horse she is always the first to advocate for the animal in terms of their care, well-being and attention. She genuinely gets the greatest of joy when caring for an animal. She has demonstrated to all of those that have used her services her reliability, consistency and talents when it comes to caring for our pets.”

About: We have taken care of many animals some on a long term basis and other for just a day. We love having them to stay. I currently spend mornings walking the dogs and spend afternoons ironing peoples clothes at home so I have plenty of time to spend with animals. My garden is very secure and is fully fenced. I have a large living area for the pets to relax and they are rarely alone.
