Dog Walking in Runnymede

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and animals my whole life. One of my childhood pets is a rescue from Romania, my family and I have aided her from an aggressive and scared dog, into an independent and calmer version of herself. This meant that I had to quickly learn the importance of patience and boundaries. This has inspired me to begin working with animals and specifically dogs. From the age of 15 I started pet sitting for some of my friends animals whilst they were away and as I moved to university I continued to help. I signed up to volunteer on the website Borrow My Doggy where I would look after and walk dogs when their owners became too busy. But since moving back to Surrey I have recently become a community volunteer for the RSPCA, meaning I deliver animal food to numerous homeless shelters. I am hoping to also get involved in some events and dog walking at the shelters in the near future. I’m currently looking for a part time job for the summer, however, at this present time I am available to help from 9am - 6pm during the weekdays and 10am - 8pm during the weekend. Therefore, I currently have a very flexible schedule to help you! I have a large fenced off garden with plenty of place for your pups to play! It catches plenty of sun with various shaded areas. In addition to this on the other side of my fence there is a well trimmed field for them to run at their hearts content.

“Catherine was brilliant. My dog loved her. She was punctual and professional, even sent me pictures while on the walk will definitely use her again.”

“Lauren was amazing! I’ve been having issues recently with Bernard constantly having very high energy levels, however after his long walk with Lauren he was very chilled and relaxed. I loved seeing the photos of Bernard enjoying his walk also!”

“Ella is so lovely and my girl Fudge had the best time, Ella took the time to learn fudge and make fudge was fully comfortable around someone new. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough! She taught fudge some new tricks which is even more of a bonus! Super happy and will definitely only be using Ella 😊”

About: A lifetime of caring for pets big and small, from hamsters to feathered friends and fish to fur babies. As fellow fur-baby parents who travel often, we know the stress of leaving them behind. That's why I treat every pet like my own, safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Having fur babies of my own has taught me how important consistency and attention are, so I approach every animal with the same care I give at home, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away ensuring bowls are full, paws are clean and tails are wagging if that means going for a walk or a cuddle. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of various sizes from frenchies and cockerpoos to cocker spaniels and chihuahuas to labradors. I offer dog walking services and drop in visits. Having two fur babies of my own has taught me how important consistency and attention are, so I approach every animal with the same care I give at home, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away ensuring bowls are full, paws are clean and tails are wagging if that means going for a walk or a cuddle. Please note that there is a small additional fee for walks more than 5 miles from Staines high street to account for travel costs and additional travel time. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet. I keep you updated, make sure pets are fed and walked as needed, and give cuddles if that's their thing. I follow their usual routines so they feel secure, happy, and loved while you are away or at work. I am dependable and adapt well and quickly to situations that require immediate attention and action.

About: I had a dog for 4 years and I was her main carer, I would feed her, take her for walks and take her to the vet when needed. I also helped my sister take care of dogs she was dog sitting from the Rover app! I have also dog sat my cousins beautiful German shepherd a few times. I am a huge pet lover so this is the perfect job for me, I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own. I can’t wait to begin! I am currently a first year uni student on summer break, so I have a lot of free time and will be available most days of the week. My house has a gate that can only be opened automatically so no incidents of dogs escaping is possible. We also have another gated area within the house we set up for our dog back when she was with us! We have a huge garden in which food dog can run around and play in all day long. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved. I will also make sure to follow the owner’s instructions very carefully regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise and any special requirements. I will also keep the owners updated with messages and photos, calls if needed, to make them feel confident that their pet is in the best hands possible.

“We had a lovely walk with Julia. She is knowledgeable, ki d and caring. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I've taken care of pets for most of my life and enjoy green spaces and walking. I am flexible,honest and willing and always have my daughter (vet nurse) to turn to for any advice. I am widely available and flexible for your needs, I am looking forward to looking after your pets and I am available weekdays and weekends. My preference is to visit your pets at home in their environment for a more comfortable and stress-free experience. I am happy to pop in and out or stay if that is asked of me.

About: I’ve lived in many houses and can deal with most situations calmly and sensibly. I have owned springer spaniels and have experience sitting for King Charles spaniels, working Cocker spaniels, a variety of terriers, mini Schnauzers, Labradors and cockapoos. I’ve looked after old dogs, blind and deaf as well as younger energetic ones - but I do like them to have some training so I’m not being towed around and then we can have fun together while I keep your pet safe and happy. I like to meet you and your dog(s) before sitting for you. I am mainly available in the weekday mornings but may cover some afternoons and weekends as well with enough notice. House sits are usually 3-5 days but can be longer with some notice. I’m also happy to travel within the UK coast and countryside for house sitting and have done a number of sits in central Scotland.. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home and neighbourhood where they feel most comfortable but can drive them to longer walks (depending on size of dog!). I can care for young puppies though I’m also used to older dogs who need company and short frequent walks/toilet breaks. Im experienced with most medications and special care vet though not injections. I’ll just try to keep your dog safe and happy around your home and out for exercise - and will send you updates/photos as often as you like.

About: I grew up round lots of different animals through out my life. Each and every animal deserves love, care and attention, which is why I love welcoming furry friends into my home to give them the love attention they deserve while you are away! I’m currently at home most of the time with my toodler whom also loves animals! I want to help out those whom need a pet sitter to give their pets the attention and love that they deserve when you are busy! I have a spacious and warm home for your furry friend to roam and play around! I also have a good sized private and fenced garden.

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. Growing up, my home was filled with dogs, cats, tortoises and more caring for them wasn’t a chore, it was something I genuinely loved. That passion has never left me. I find real joy in spending time with animals, understanding their personalities and making sure they feel safe and loved. Beyond my upbringing, I have hands on dogsitting experience caring for pets over extended periods, so I know what it takes to step in as a trusted carer. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual needs and always go the extra mile to ensure they’re comfortable, stimulated and happy. When your pet is with me, they’re not just being looked after they’re being genuinely cared for by someone who truly loves animals. Animals have always been at the heart of my life.

About: Ever since I was young I have always been involved with animals, whether it be dogs, cats, horses, even to all farmyard animals. Growing up I’ve taken care of animals as if they are my own giving all love and affection and attention on them! I now live in a 14acre farm with 5 dogs of our own, horse, 3 ferrets and two lovely cats! I have pet sat for many of friends, clients and family all having there animals at mine and also house sitting for them two! I have great references available if needed! I am currently at home all week, taking care of our animals so, don’t worry the care for yours will be involved within my days and they will be treated like my own! We have lots of space on our own land and local national parks including chobham common, st Ann’s hill ect so there is never not any space for your animals to run and have lots of fun! My girls and boy (dogs) are very friendly and very well trained so they can also keep your animals company. If for any reason your dog needs to be separate we can arrange for this to happen. If you feel your animal cannot be let of the lead when in big open spaces we have a 8m lunge line that we can attach so they can still run if needed. Depending on your animals needs I will always go over and beyond to cater for them!

“Dorota is an amazing person with real passion for dogs! I was confident to leave Ferdynand with Dorota from very first time we met. Very professional and calm despite of my dog was being a little trouble and chasing an invisible bear! Ferdynand can't wait to see you again <3”

About: Strong history of empathetic and compassionate care for animal companions in a verity of settings. Flexibility in my schedule and lots of love to give! Attended puppy training with my own dog and have cared for multiple different breeds from family friends ranging from 3 labradors and horses to frechies and Italian greyhounds. I am currently a university student at Cardiff and I usually go on walks through Bute park in my spare time and would love to have a companion with me ! My schedule is flexible and I tend to have most evenings off as well as the weekend and all day Thursdays. I keep my dog on the lead untill we are walking in a safe and contained area , or rather large open park where I know she’s safe and always in my eyesight. I also keep treats on me and have very good call back response.

About: I love and have been surrounded by animals of all kinds, my whole life. I currently have one cat and two horses and regularly walk, feed and sit dogs for friends and family when they are away with work or on holiday. I have been pet sitting regularly using Rover for over two years now and it's a pleasure to take care of people's beloved pets in their own home whilst they're away. I work from home with flexible hours so I can be available at short notice for dog walks and as long as I have access to WIFI I can house sit (dogs or cats) and carry out day care from any location. I am fully insured to take care of your pet in your home. I like to be active and take long walks so if your furbaby is energetic this is good news for me! I am also more than happy to take short walks, or none at all if they prefer to stay close to home. If I am sitting for a few days or more (overnight stays) I can adapt my routine to suit your pet depending on their needs and requirements.

About: For as long as I can remember we have always had pets in our home , there family and it’s all I have known , there’s nothing better than coming home after work and being greeted with the excitement and happiness that we receive from our fur babies I currently have plenty of free time on my hands to be able to look after your fur baby and keep them company and meet there needs :) My services would be walks and home visits mainly so I would stick to the homeowners rules as to what there comfortable and happy with
