Dog Walking in Saint Helens

“Another walk and another day when I am able to happily leave Hayley to walk my pup without worry at all. Great contact with Hayley from booking to finish and my pup clearly has a top time. Thank you for taking the time to wash his muddy paws, above & beyond. Xx”

About: I grew up with a few German shephers and cats. I currently live with a very anxious 3 year old puppy called Ella. To ease off her anxiety I went through a number of owner training sessions and I believe these will benefit other dogs too, anxious or not. I am working flexibly from home and would be able to schedule a walk or a drop in visit easily. Just give me a day or so notice :) I will initially schedule an introductory visit to meet your dog. We can then discuss how the visits or walks will work depending on your circumstances.

“Karen has made everything so easy. This is our first time hiring a dog walker and we couldn’t be happier. Digby loves Karen which totally puts our mind at ease, knowing that he is being checked on and walked whilst we can’t be there. Karen is so friendly and easy-going and she gives Digby so much attention when she sees him! We have booked Karen for repeat walks every week and will continue to do so as long as she will have us ☺️”

About: Hi, welcome! I’m an experienced, animal obsessed, fully insured dog walker based in Knowsley, Merseyside. My experience working within the animal industry started in 2011 when I started work within an cat rescue center, since then I’ve worked with rescue dogs, wildlife, an equestrian center, a dog groomers, dog shop and within dog daycares. Ontop of my hands on experience I have gained multiple animal based qualifications including my BTEC Extended Diploma in Animal Management, FdSc in Equine Science, Complementary Therapy and Natural Horsemanship, BSc (hons) Equine Science and qualifications in various animal therapies, pet first aid and dog training. I’m constantly seeking to learn new things and upgrade my knowledge adding to my ever expanding collection of regulated qualifications. In my personal life there isn’t very many animals I haven’t had experience with! From large farm animals such as cows, llamas and water buffalo to smaller animals including rodents and invertebrates, there isn’t many species I don’t have experience with. I also dedicate most of my free time to training and completing in the thrilling sport of Flyball. I currently have another part-time job consisting mainly of evening shift, I rotate my dog walking around this. I recive my rota 2 weeks in advance, but can request set days off with notice. I unfortunately can not take pets within my own home due to my own pets. All services will start and end at the owners home. I only offer 1:1 or same household walks, I'm first-aid trained and fully insured. Dogs are only aloud off lead in safe areas and once proven they have an solid recall.

About: I have taken care and loved dogs since I was a small child. Seeing them is my favourite part of the day! I will love your pups as my own. Pet care is an important and natural part of my daily routine. I make sure feeding, exercise, and any cleaning or grooming are scheduled at regular times, so pets have consistency and feel secure. I plan my mornings and evenings around these responsibilities, and I use reminders to ensure nothing is missed. This structured approach means pet care fits smoothly alongside my other commitments, while still giving the animals the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, my priority is keeping the pet comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs. I ensure the home is respected and secure, keeping things tidy and leaving it as I found it. This approach helps the pet feel safe in their familiar environment and gives owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Loving and experienced dog sitter with a safe, fun home! I’ve cared for many friends' and family’s dogs while they’re away and have plenty of experience. While I don’t have a pup of my own right now, your furry friend will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime with my energetic 7-year-old. With a large, secure back garden, they’ll have space to run, play, and relax while you’re away I currently work part-time Monday to Wednesday, with Wednesday as my work-from-home day—perfect for caring for a pup with a lunchtime walk. I’m fully available on Thursdays and Fridays, giving your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor fun! Your dog will feel right at home in my loving, family-friendly space! I have a large, fenced back garden for safe play, a playful 7-year-old ready for fun, and beautiful walking spots nearby. Your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and exercise while staying with us!

About: Hello fellow pet pawrents! My name is Michael, and like you, my world revolves around our incredible animal friends. From their playful antics to their comforting purrs, I genuinely believe there's nothing quite like the unconditional love from our pets. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, my passion runs deep! I'm thrilled to offer dedicated care that ensures your furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe, whether they're out exploring or cozy at home. Why Choose Me for Your Beloved Dog? Tail-Waggin' Adventures: For me, a walk isn't just about covering ground; it's an adventure tailored to your dog's needs. Whether your pup thrives on a brisk trot through the park, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll around the neighborhood, or needs plenty of engaging playtime, I ensure every outing is enriching and mentally stimulating. I focus on fostering positive experiences, building confidence through new sights and sounds, and burning off that happy energy in a safe and enjoyable way. Safety First, Always: Your dog's safety is my absolute top priority on every single outing. I'm highly attentive to their surroundings, potential hazards like busy roads or unfamiliar dogs, and always keep a keen eye on their comfort, hydration, and overall well-being. I will always adhere to any specific instructions and their individual temperament. Building Trust: I believe in building a genuine, loving connection with every dog I walk. I'm patient, kind, and dedicated to earning their trust through positive reinforcement, consistent commands, and plenty of praise and affection. Your dog won't just be getting exercise; they'll be gaining a reliable and trusted friend who understands their cues and loves their quirks. Drop-Ins for All Your Pets! Dog Drop-Ins: My drop-in visits for dogs are the perfect solution for puppies not yet ready for walks, senior dogs needing frequent bathroom breaks, or any canine who prefers the comfort of their own familiar surroundings. I provide essential relief breaks, ensure fresh water and meals, administer medications if needed, and offer dedicated playtime and cuddles right in your home or garden. Cat Drop-Ins: Cats are unique creatures, and I deeply respect their need for comfort, routine, and a sense of security. My cat drop-ins are designed to minimise stress and maximise their happiness. Whether it's a quiet visit for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, or gentle playtime with their favorite toy, I adapt entirely to your cat's individual personality and preferences. I ensure they receive the attention they desire, without ever forcing interaction. Observational Care & Communication: For both dogs and cats during drop-ins, I am highly observant. I pay close attention to their eating habits, water consumption, litter box use (for cats), toilet patterns (for dogs), and overall demeanor. Any changes or concerns, no matter how small, will be promptly communicated to you, providing you with complete peace of mind that your furry family members are thriving in your absence. My Promise to You: You can rest assured that when your dog or cat is in my care, they are receiving the highest level of compassionate, reliable, and professional attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with endless love, patience, and enthusiasm. I understand the immense trust you place in me, and I'm committed to providing you with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe under my watchful eye. Let's chat about how I can give you peace of mind. While I currently balance pet care with a full-time role, my goal is to dedicate as much of my time to your furry friends! This means my regular availability is focused on weekends. However, if you're in need of evening walks or drop-ins, please reach out! I'm always happy to explore how I might be able to accommodate your needs. I understand how important your home is, and I promise to treat it with the same care and respect I give to your pet. You'll always find your space left exactly as it was, providing you with complete peace of mind.

About: I have many years experience with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I deal with working dogs, dogs with issues and pet dogs alike, everyone is welcome! During a stay with me your dog will be loved like my own, and any of their current training/structure will be maintained throughout their stay! Please note, this does not include additional training, beyond maintenance of what you’ve already done with your dog! I am usually home the majority of the day, only taking short trips out as and when needed, like taking my son to nursery etc. Dogs that stay with me will ideally need to be crate trained, this would just mainly be for overnight. I will keep to their current routines as much as possible, and any current training will be maintained in the home and on walks. If they are good with dogs they may get chance to mix with some of my dogs, and if not that’s also fine!

“Sophie had a lovely time with Alex and is already looking forward to their next walk. Alex is fab and gave us brilliant updates. I’d highly recommend her. Her and Sophie seem to love eachother 🩷❤️”

About: I have had animals, dogs and cats all my life. Currently I’m a dog groomer who deals with all breeds, sizes and behaviours to which we do our best to cater for. I am trained in pet first aid and behaviour and done a further advanced course on pets, so have extra knowledge in areas that may help with jobs. I currently work 4 days a week 9-6, on Thursdays I switch between 9-6, 10-7 or 11-8. My days off switch every other week so can offer some sort of set schedule for clients and work around my working hours. I am a trustworthy person who will ensure your pets safety, getting to know your pet with a meet and greet to allow me to get to know the owner and the pets and if they need catering for differently.

About: I have experience of caring for and loving numerous pets including hamsters, cats, dogs and even a tortoise. These have ranged from calm or nervous to energetic and boisterous I currently work shifts which means I am around for different times of the day which makes me a lot more flexible in taking care of pets. I also drive so transport is never an issue I’m tidy and courteous with no issues cleaning up any type of pet mess. I’m definitely not afraid of getting my hands dirty. I’m DBS checked (available upon request)

About: My dogs are my family, not pets! My older brother was a cocker spaniel called Skip! I've never been without a dog of my own and I am also drafted in by all my friends and family to look after their puppers for a day, a weekend or longer when they are away on holiday. My best friends are Miniature Schnauzers, Whippets, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Labradors and Springer Spaniels and I've learned a lot from them about what they need from their human families. I'm happiest outside with my 2 girls, Poppy and Holly - walking my dogs is my happy place! I devote all my time to my fur babies and am available all week, both days and evenings, to help keep your puppers happy when you have to be away from them. I'm happy to stay with your pets in their own home, as well as walking them in locations and areas that are familiar to them. In my experience, the familiar places and smells helps your puppers to stay calm and happy when they can't be with you. I know how bad it feels leaving them, even if its just for a few hours, so I'm happy to pop in for quick garden breaks, or longer walks - whatever your fur babies need to make sure they are happy!

“Amazing service! I contacted Erin asking her to walk my dog last minute and she came straight away. She is very friendly, polite and trustworthy. My dog was so comfortable and settled around her x”

About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals. I adore playing, training, and most importantly making sure they have everything they need such as enough sleep, the right nutrition, enrichment and exercise! Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.

About: I have experience caring for dogs with anxiety and special needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that anxious dogs require patience, structure, and a calm presence, and I tailor my approach to their unique needs. ✔️ Experienced with Anxious Dogs: I recognize signs of stress and use positive reinforcement, soothing techniques, and familiar routines to help ease their anxiety. ✔️ Slow & Gentle Approach: I let nervous dogs set the pace, avoiding forced interactions and creating a space where they feel secure. ✔️ Maintaining Their Routine: I stick to their usual feeding, exercise, and comfort rituals to minimize stress. ✔️ Calming Techniques: I use soft tones, gentle movements, and enrichment activities to keep their minds engaged and relaxed. ✔️ Regular Updates: I provide frequent check-ins, photos, and videos so you can see how they’re doing. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who understands their needs. I’d love to provide them with the care and comfort they deserve! As a self-employed personal trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Since I set my own hours, I can plan my training sessions around pet visits, ensuring that your pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. ✔️ Flexible Availability: I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays if needed. ✔️ Active Lifestyle: As a fitness professional, I love staying active, which means plenty of walks, playtime, and exercise for high-energy dogs. ✔️ Balanced Schedule: My work allows for breaks between training sessions, so I can check in on pets throughout the day. ✔️ Reliable & Consistent: I prioritize maintaining a steady routine, which is especially important for anxious pets or those needing extra care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family—they have full access to cozy spaces, including sofas and beds, because I believe they should feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. Whether they love to cuddle or need their own space, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. ✔️ Spacious & Comfortable Environment: My home has a big enough living room where pets can lounge, play, or nap without feeling cramped. ✔️ Secure Outdoor Space: I have a fenced garden, providing a safe area for pets to run, explore, and enjoy fresh air under supervision. ✔️ Home Comforts: Pets are welcome on the furniture and can sleep in the bed if they choose, just like they would at home. ✔️ Plenty of Attention: Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or peaceful naps, I ensure they get the love and care they’re used to. ✔️ Exercise & Enrichment: Daily walks, interactive toys, and fun activities keep them happy and engaged. ✔️ Routine & Familiarity: I maintain their feeding and potty schedule to minimize stress. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their routine and provide a calm, familiar presence while you’re away. I ensure they stick to their usual schedule, feel safe in their space, and get plenty of love and companionship. No matter where they stay, I make sure every pet feels at home!

About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from childhood through to today. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention they deserve. My experience includes: • 🐶 Senior dog care – I grew up with a gentle, elderly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with the extra support and calm routine older dogs need. • 🐕 High-energy & timid breeds – I currently help care for our beautiful Hungarian Vizsla rescue, Serbi, who came to us frightened and unsure. In just a few months, he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate companion, and I’ve loved being part of that journey. • 🐩 Small breed care – I’ve spent the last 13+ years looking after my auntie’s Cocker Spaniels, my dad’s Cavachon (for 4 years), and now my own Cavachon, Benji, who’s 2 years and 3 months old. I also help with my dad’s Cockapoo Biscuit — Benji’s playful best friend who is a similar age with lots of energy! I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them loving, reliable care tailored to their unique personality and routine. Whether your pup is playful, shy, senior, or just in need of some extra TLC, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Let me know how I can help care for your furry family member — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾❤️ I work from home so I am very flexible. I have full access to my own car with lots of room to transport the doggos to and from walks safely with doggy seat belts. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I offer a loving, secure home environment where your pup will feel like part of the family. I live in a fully secured home that’s dog-friendly, calm, and perfect for both playtime and relaxation. Your dog will also have the company of my two well-behaved, friendly dogs: Benji, my gentle 2-year-old Cavachon, and Serbi, our sweet Hungarian Vizsla rescue. Both are incredibly social and love the company of other dogs, and equally respect other dogs space also. Benji has grown up around his cousins — including Rufus the Vizsla, Jasper the Cavachon, and Biscuit the Cockerpoo — so he’s used to making new doggy friends and loves having playmates around. Serbi has mirrored Benji’s social nature since joining our furry crew and would love the company of some more doggos! Whether your pup is high-energy or a bit more reserved, I always provide a safe, supervised space where they can feel secure and loved. I monitor all interactions closely to ensure everyone gets along well, and I give each dog plenty of individual attention. From cuddles on the sofa to fun in the garden, your pet will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!
