4. Emma B.
“Hello, Emma would be a great pick to choose for caring for your pets. As someone that is very close to Emma, I know that she has always loved animals ever since been little. She is always watching things that involve animals, whether it's dogs, cats or even big cats she just loves animals. She always walks both of my dogs for me as I am working full time, I have two Shih Tzu Bichon that she loves spending time with and they love it just as much. I really think Emma would suit the role very much and you wouldn't look any further.”

About: I am a huge dog lover and have been taking care of them professionally for the last few years but have had pups my entire life. I have lots of experience of walking and caring for all different kinds of doggos, big and small, with various needs and personalities. I promise to care for your fur babies as I do my own, with lots of love and play and will give them a home away from home where they can relax and feel comfortable. I’m currently fully available for walks any day of the week. Whether this be for a regular same time walk or a last minute one off. I would treat your pets just like I treat my own, with lots of love and play. I am used to caring for dogs of all ages, I recently lost my Peaches at the age of 12, she had a push chair and needed extra time on her walks. Whilst my Pru at age 3 and Folly at 10 months are both full of energy and zoomies.

19. Leonie B.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little girl (over 10 years!) and know how to care for their needs due to many years of experience! If you need a helping hand with your dog don’t shy to ask. I have a deep love for dogs as they have been in my family for as long as I can remember and I hope to share the same love with your family dog too. Over the years I’ve gained so much knowledge regarding dogs that i feel I am qualified to look after anyone’s “family member” with the best of my abilities so you won’t have to worry one bit! I can’t wait to meet your precious pooch and give them an extra friend. Thank you ! I using my days off to care for your dog(s) so that it fits into my weekly schedule. I will sometimes be able to do extra days off required although these “extra” days would need to be before I start work or after. As I will only be walking dogs for now, I will follow your careful instructions on their needs such as if they are able to be off leash and what toys they prefer.


20. Hollie A.
“Hollie is the most loving, caring person I know. She has always had a special connection with animals, coming from both sides - she loves them and they always seem to love her!! She got her first puppy when she was 14 and even at such a young age she made sure to go above and beyond with the research she put into it, and it has shown. She now has two dogs and has trained them to be well behaved, polite, and gentle. They all go on long walks every day, and she loves the adventures they have together. I would trust her with any of my dogs, because I know they would be fully taken care of in both a professional and loving way.”
