Dog Walking in Rushcliffe

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong pet lover who simply adores being around animals. While I don’t hold official professional certificates, I offer something just as valuable: over 10 years of genuine, hands-on experience looking after dogs from playful puppies right through to sweet seniors. I’m lucky to have a natural bond with dogs—they usually sense my love for them straight away! It’s a running joke that usually female dogs end up giving me kisses on our very first meeting. Back home, I'm a proud owner of two lovely bunnies, so my life truly revolves around animal welfare and happiness. My Doggy Experience • A Decade of Love: I’ve spent the last 10 years learning exactly what dogs need at different stages of their lives, from high-energy pup play to gentle senior strolls. • Breeds I’ve Loved & Looked After: I used to own a wonderful Mongrel in Hong Kong and have plenty of experience dog-sitting Poodles and Shiba Inus. How I Can Help You • Holiday Dog Sitting: I’ll stay at your home to keep your furry friend company while you’re away, ensuring their routine doesn't change and they feel completely safe. • Dog Walking: Reliable, fun walks to stretch those legs and burn off some energy. A Little Note from Me: I might not have a piece of paper qualification, but I have a huge heart and a home-from-home approach. I promise to treat your dog like a member of my own family! I work for a consulting firm with highly flexible working hours and a remote-working environment. I could control over my schedule and can easily work from your home while keeping your dog company. Mirror their usual day-to-day life : Before you head away, I will make sure to fully understand your dog’s exact daily routine—including their precise feeding times, favourite walking routes, sleeping habits, and any specific quirks. Your furry friend won't be left alone for long periods; I will be there to offer tummy rubs, toilet breaks, and attention throughout the day while I work!

About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and they've always been part of my family. While I haven't owned a dog myself as an adult, I regularly care for my sister's dog, both in her home and in my own flat, so I'm comfortable with day-to-day routines, walks, feeding, playtime and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for pets. This means I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules and toilet breaks, rather than being limited to mornings and evenings. For dogs boarding with me, they will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. I can provide regular walks, playtime and attention alongside maintaining their usual routine. I'm also available for house sitting and can work remotely from your home, allowing me to spend more time with your pet and minimize disruption to their normal environment and schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a first-floor flat in a quiet area and take care to provide a calm and safe environment for any dog in my care. Although I do not have a garden, I live next to a canal, with plenty of nearby green space and walking routes, making it easy to provide regular exercise, enrichment and outdoor time throughout the day. As I work remotely, I am able to keep a close eye on pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to help them feel settled, happy and secure while you're away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.

About: What sets me apart is the range of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals. I worked in a vet clinic for a month and have volunteered at rescues such as Moohaven and Guardian Angel Bird Sanctuary, which gave me experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also cared for a variety of pets at home and through volunteering — from dogs and cats to chickens and turtles — so I’m confident handling different needs and routines. Growing up with two dogs and a cat of my own has also given me the patience and understanding to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. As a sixth form student, I have a fairly flexible routine. I’m usually available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends, which works well for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural. I can adjust around my school schedule to make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they need. For drop-ins, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a potty break, and some playtime or cuddles so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I always check that everything is safe and secure before I leave. For dog walks, I focus on giving each dog the right balance of exercise and fun, whether that’s a brisk walk or a slower pace for older dogs. I keep walks safe by using secure leads, being aware of surroundings, and tailoring the walk to each dog’s needs and energy level

About: I'm a dedicated dog lover with a passion for providing a loving care in a safe and happy environment. I completely understand how important it is to find someone that takes care of dog properly and to trust them. I have a 5yr old Golden Retriever. I have previously worked in a kennel for 3yrs. I have previously had a rescue greyhound and rehomed a Staffordshire bull terrier. Here to offer reliable, loving and personalised care for your dog while you're away. I work from home but my job is very flexible. I will often walk my dog for a hour or more at lunch or even earlier if needed. I am confident that I will be able to accommodate all requests I have a very friendly and loving Golden Retriever. We love to go out for long walks followed by a snack and a snuggle on the sofa.

“All went perfect 👌”

About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for cats, from growing up with my family’s 12-year-old senior cat to co-owning a cat for 4 years. I truly understand feline behavior, boundaries, and how to make them feel safe. I've even successfully trained cats to walk on a leash and play treat-guessing games! I am a regular, trusted cat sitter for my friends' pets, and I recently completed a wonderful month-long boarding stay for a cat at my place. I live on my own in a large, quiet house with a big garden, making it a peaceful, stress-free environment for your pets. I have a lot of love to give and plenty of free time right now to focus entirely on your furry friends, whether they stay at my home or I visit yours. While cats are my specialty, I am also very open to hosting or visiting calm, friendly dogs to expand my care experience! I work completely from home, which means my schedule is highly flexible and I am around all day. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. My daily routine revolves around providing consistent companionship, sticking strictly to your feeding and medication schedules, and building in plenty of dedicated time for play, grooming, and mental stimulation (or leash walks if they are trained for it!). Because I have a lot of free time right now, your pet will truly be my top priority. In My Home: I live alone in a large, quiet house with a big, secure garden, offering a peaceful environment free from the stress of children or other resident pets. Before any stay, I meticulously pet-proof the space. Your pet will have full freedom to roam, explore, and find their favorite cozy spots. I am extremely mindful of open doors and windows to ensure absolute safety. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. During drop-in visits, I focus entirely on making your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. Communication: Trust is everything to me. I will send you daily updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how much fun and love your furry friend is getting!

About: As an avid dog loved, and having had dogs all my life, I understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry friends. I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My approach to dog sitting is rooted in compassion and understanding, ensuring your pup feels safe, loved and engaged whilst you’re away. I currently work from home 5 days a week and love going on walks, so looking after your furry friends does not impact my routine. I have a fenced back garden, and no current dogs of my own so your dog will have my undivided attention and will be safe at all times.

“Joss walked Freddie for 2 days and gave such good communication and feed back. He kept him in the shade on such a hot day and I felt at ease knowing that he was in safe, caring hands! Will deffo use again if in the area!”

About: I have grown up around dogs since I was around 11 when I pleaded my parents (with a carefully crafted PowerPoint presentation) to have a dog of my own. My first dog was Lottie the Labradoodle, who we sadly lost last year after 12 and half great years! To keep Lottie company in her old age we found Harley the Cockapoo. Far more work than we imagined but definitely worth the challenge. Harley taught us the difference between food and toy orientated dogs and really gave us an appreciation for training. When we lost Lottie and saw how hard Harley took the loss we found Maya, our 6 month old Australian Labradoodle. The biggest bundle of fluff on the planet !! I am currently a paralegal working at a law firm but have a few work from home days which I would love to spend looking after your dog! I work 9-5 however it is all remote! Sometimes I would be needed for meetings however these usually never last more than a two hours maximum. I If your dog wanted a little staycation at mine that’s no problem! I have a completely fenced back garden with grass and places for them to relax if need be. I live near a couple of lovely walks so would be happy taking them there or if your dog is a couch potato I have a comfy one waiting for them! If I was watching your dog in your own home that’s no issue as well! I am happy to come and make sure they have had their water and toilet breaks (with the obvious snuggle and playtime in between). Having a desk job as well I am super keen to get my steps in each day so would be more than happy to take them on a good walk as well!

About: I grew up in a 'dog family,' having always been surrounded by family and friends' pets. My background is deeply rooted in animal welfare; my family and I regularly rescue and foster dogs in need. This hands-on experience has made me naturally adept at caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it is a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a rescue dog that requires extra patience to build trust, I am comfortable adapting to their specific needs. I pride myself on building a natural bond with every dog I meet, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners are away. I mostly work from home, which allows me to be very flexible with my time and provide plenty of companionship for your dog. My typical routine includes a long morning walk before I start work, with additional walks in the late afternoon or evening depending on your dog's specific energy levels and needs. I am also fully available for boarding from Friday through to the end of the weekend. have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely outdoors under supervision. Inside, I provide a calm and spacious indoor environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. Whether they prefer a quiet corner for a nap or plenty of space to stretch out, I ensure they have a dedicated area that meets their needs.

“Nicola was great with Nala, she kept me updated on her visit and provided great pictures of their walk. She was on time, left the house clean and tidy even after a very muddy walk. I’ll definitely use Nicola again! Great service”

About: Hi I am the proud foster Mummy to a lovely tabby cat called Charlotte. She is my world ♡ Charlotte got lost at Skegness a while back for 27 days, but after a lot of hard work, tears and sleepless nights I found her and she was brought safely back home. I look forward to meeting you and looking after your fur babies when you and they need some extra help with lots of fuss and cuddles xx Any of my friends can tell you I adore cats. I always carry around a packet of cat treats in my car as I'm driving around for work providing social care rehabilitation in the community, just incase I see any feline friends on my travels. I have a full DBS check and will promise to give your little one(s) as much love, care and attention as I do my own. One thing I love about my job is the opportunity to meet new people and their pets :) I live in Mapperley and have my own car so I can travel a little further afield. I have experience administering medications onto food and applying eye drops. I'm not confident in giving oral medications or injections, but if shown I'm sure I will be fine :) I can do drop in visits for your fur babies at your own home so your cat feels comfortable in their own surroundings or I can look after them at my property. I am already a registered cat sitter on Cat in a flat.

About: Dogs are my favourite animal. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs from my previous host families, ranging from Yorkshire Terrier, Bulldog to Schnauzer. I can manage different energy levels, from providing gentle care to engaging in active playtime and daily walks. I’m a uni student at the University of Nottingham, and I am mostly available in the afternoons. I’m also available from 9am on weekends. I offer a loving home environment with a fully fenced garden for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs adore making new friends and will keep your fur baby company all day! I am also happy to provide crate training support or individual quiet time if your pet needs a break.

About: We’ve had family dogs for the last 13 years and with my parents working away a lot and being the oldest son I’ve had responsibilities of looking after the dogs, feeding, caring, walking and training them. I’m currently working part time which takes up my evenings meaning I’m free 7 days a week up till about 4pm and love walking and being outdoors especially with pups. I would care for your pets by feeding them, exercising them regularly, and giving them constant companionship. I will follow the pet owners instructions and be attentive to the dogs needs and communicate any issues which may arise promptly with the owner.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since I was little and have been around animals through every stage of their life - from puppies and kittens to senior animals. More recently I have experience pet sitting and walking dogs while their owners are away. I have experience with a wide range of dogs from labradors, to terriers to spaniels. I love the outdoors and exploring new places with fury friends! I currently work from home most days so will be around to drop in or walk dogs before work, during lunch breaks or in the evenings during the week. I am flexible on the weekends to suit your needs. I can offer a free meet and greet prior to the service to get to know you, the owner, your pets and your home to ensure I understand and can meet your pets needs. I can send updates to let you know your pet is well cared for.
