Dog Walking Ripon

About: I am a lifelong animal lover enjoying retirement, with plenty of free time and a high energy level. I owned an energetic Vizsla for nearly 15 years who used to love coming on long walks and runs. During this time we also had a British short haired cat - both were much loved family pets. I currently have a rescue cat but I really miss being around dogs. I love daily exercise like walking and running, so your dog will get a great workout, or just a relaxing walk if that’s preferred, as well as a safe, fun time outdoors with me. I am retired and flexible with plenty of free time. With this in mind, I can easily adjust my schedule if necessary. I will always try my best to be accommodating. I have an enclosed garden and access to fantastic outdoor spaces right on my doorstep. I am very reliable in following pet owners requests and will treat all animals like my own.

“Emma goes above and beyond to make sure our nervous and sometimes stressed dog is happy and well card for. I couldn't ask for anyone better to look after her. Thank you”

About: My first job as a teenager was walking and sitting neighborhood dogs and I’ve lived with cats, dogs and other animals my whole life. I now volunteer at a rescue and vet practice and study pet first aid too I usually work weekdays from 10am-5:30pm so all visits will be after 5:30. For overnights I will arrive around 6-7pm and leave in the morning around 9:30am. I am able to do multiple drop ins after work and depending on location I can do early morning visits too. Walks are always on afternoons unless it’s a weekend. I am a very laid back person who has a calm and approachable nature with animals. I am trained in safe handling of animals, pet first aid and have years of experience dealing with all types of pets. You can count on me to always be attentive, calm and in control.

“Jamie really made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with him whilst we was away again, it really helps knowing he’s taken really good care of and also knowing how much our dog likes spending time with him as well.”

About: I have a love of all animals and treat everyone’s as my own. My home has plenty of space to accommodate all your pets requirements. I work part time from home so I am always around the house so your pet would not be left alone for more than an hour. I have a large enclosed garden with lockable gates to prevent access. My own pets have the run of the house and garden but each animal will be assessed and cared for as an individual and I have multiple rooms should some space from other animals be required.

“💯 recommend Kelly both my dogs were content and I felt 💯 trust in leaving them in Kelly's care.”

“Jess arrived on time and was sweet and attentive with Lottie. It was a huge help to my morning having Jess assist in walking Lottie. I look forward to finding out more about their activities on their next walk. Thanks again Jess 🐶☺️”

About: I’ve always loved animals, and have grown up around dogs. I haven’t had a pet of my own for a few years, but have looked after pets of friends and family in that time. I currently work Tuesday-Friday. I have lots of free time outside of work and few other commitments at the moment. I might be willing to do evening drop-ins/walks, or house sit during the week if requested. I live in a rented flat so won’t be able to offer pet sitting in my own home, but am more than happy to travel to owners homes in the local area.

“Lucy was excellent. We were up in Pateley Bridge for a wedding and nervous leaving Jeff alone. She filled us with confidence that he was in safe hands. She kept us updated with photos and texts on how he was. Thank you Lucy ☺️”

“Courtney helped us out massively when we had a super quick turn around organising a wedding at Harrogate registry office. We needed someone to walk our two little pooches during the ceremony so all our loved ones could attend and she was there as soon as we arrived, and kept them for a little longer as the ceremony ran over. Marlow and Reggie returned super happy! The wedding was so special and we are so grateful to Courtney for helping us out 🥰”

“Thank you for taking Tiggy off on an adventure! Tiggy seems very happy with Halle, the photos that Halle takes are very sweet of the two of them.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, but my passion for training really took off when i rescued a Spaniel x Beagle. He started out reactive to other dogs, with no recall and a habit of disappearing after anything that moved. Through daily training and hundreds of hours of learning, I transformed him into a confident, social dog with reliable off-lead freedom, excellent recall, and advanced obedience. That journey gave me a genuine passion for helping dogs learn and building their confidence. I now volunteer every week at a dog rescue, working with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling everything from nervous and reactive dogs to strong pullers and high-energy working breeds. Whether your dog simply needs a fun walk, plenty of attention and a home away from home, or would benefit from some extra work on recall, lead manners, general obedience or behavioural issues during their stay, I’d love to help. I genuinely enjoy training and am happy to take on dogs that need a little extra guidance. We also have private, secure land, giving dogs a safe space to exercise and train away from distractions when needed. I work full time from home so always able to keep an eye on dogs. Normally the day starts with a walk round the fields/local paths. Then we settle down, few 5 min spurs of obedience training through the day and then a big afternoon walk. Evening will maybe have a small additional walk or some training. We have a fenced garden, fenced private fields - all possible escape routes have been found and fixed thanks to our escape artist. My dog is always around - he’s a beagle x spaniel full of energy.

About: I adore dogs! I have helped run a dog kennels for over 3 years before I went travelling. I have also worked at a dog and cat animal charity for 1.5 years in Edinburgh, where I'm from. When I was travelling in Australia I also done dog walking as I needed my doggy fix down under as well. I had a family dog who was my absolute soul dog and best friend. I would care for your dog like it was my own furry pal. I currently work in the nhs supporting children with mental health issues. This is a challenging but very rewarding career. I do miss having furry, four legged friends in my life though. My schedule changes each week and I can be working different days each week but my work can be flexible if I'm given enough notice as to what days you need pet cover. We have a fenced garden at the back of the property. We now have our own golden retriever pup called ozzy who is the centre of our universe. Due to this I have put a hold on dog boarding in my house but still more than happy to drop by to owners houses to keep your pooch company as well as offer dog walking services.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs being a huge part of my life and have always loved looking after them. I’ve regularly cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and their personality. I’m currently home from university, so I have lots of free time and a really flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and at weekends, and I’m more than happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I can give them plenty of attention, walks and company throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including walks, feeding and medication, while providing a calm, caring environment and always prioritising their comfort, wellbeing and safety.

“Hayley is fabulous, arriving punctually and ready to walk our dog, even despite the rain! She was a natural with our “old lady” pooch, who immediately decided they were friends. Our dog came back happy and tired, which is always a sign of a good walk. Very happy to recommend Hayley!”

“Kjempefornøyd med Helene,? hun var med på tur og ble kjent før hun passer hundene i mitt hjem. Hun er flink med mine 3 store hunder og tydelig vant med hund, leste de godt. Jeg fikk oppdatering og bilder daglig. Hundene virket fornøyde og rolige når jeg kom hjem. Jeg kunne se at de hadde hatt det bra ??”
