Dog Walking Shildon

“Jamie looked after Flash for three days in the summer and is currently walking him regularly for us while I recover from surgery. He’s reliable, friendly and Flash loves him. Flash is a dog reactive dog and it’s a big deal for us to know that with Jamie he behaves himself.”

Deborah M.

“Fantastic dog walker! Our reactive dog can be difficult to manage, but Jane is calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. She took the time to understand his needs and made us feel confident he was being well cared for. Jane was very flexible with time, for instance, she came earlier to walk our dog because it would have been too hot for him to be walked on the agreed time. We highly recommend her services.”

“Reggie loves going out with Rebecca especially when he finds a stick”

About: Hi, I’m Danielle, the owner of Paws & Claws Adventures. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and turning that passion into my own pet care business has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. Whether you’re at work, away on holiday or simply need an extra helping hand, my aim is always the same—to care for your pets as if they were my own. I provide reliable, loving and personalised care, taking the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality and preferences. Every animal is different, and I believe they deserve care that’s tailored specifically to them. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and Pet First Aid trained, giving you complete peace of mind while your pets are in my care. My Experience Since launching Paws & Claws Adventures I’ve cared for a variety of animals including: 🐶 Dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities 🐱 Indoor and outdoor cats 🐹 Guinea pigs 🦎 Geckos 🐰 Rabbits and other small pets I’ve also completed holiday pet sitting, regular weekly walks, puppy visits and companionship visits for elderly dogs. Every booking has helped me gain experience with different temperaments, routines and owner expectations, and I genuinely love getting to know every pet I care for. Pet care is built around my daily routine, allowing me to dedicate my time to each booking rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I carefully plan my diary so every visit has plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment and, of course, lots of cuddles if your pet enjoys them. I also believe communication is incredibly important, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Dog Walking Every walk is tailored to your dog’s age, ability and personality. Whether they love long sniffy walks through the woods, exploring new places or simply enjoying a gentle stroll, I’ll make sure they have an enjoyable experience. Where appropriate, I also offer Adventure Walks for dogs who enjoy exploring somewhere new. Dog Sitting & Drop-in Visits Whether you’re at work or away on holiday, I can provide drop-in visits that include: 🐾 Feeding 🐾 Fresh water 🐾 Toilet breaks 🐾 Walks (where appropriate) 🐾 Playtime 🐾 Lots of fuss and companionship 🐾 Photo updates after every visit Cat Sitting Cats are happiest staying in their own home and sticking to their normal routine. I’ll visit to provide: 🐱 Feeding 🐱 Fresh water 🐱 Litter tray cleaning 🐱 Playtime 🐱 Cuddles (only if they want them!) 🐱 Medication if required 🐱 Daily photo updates

About: With 21 years of hands-on pet care experience, I offer calm, home-style boarding and sitting. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, anxious pets and seniors, and I stick closely to your instructions and routine. Safety comes first: secure doors/gates, lead rules, and careful supervision. I can support basic training habits (sit, stay, lead manners) and I’m happy to send frequent updates so you feel confident while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m at home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention, comfort and supervision. This means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine for feeding, toilet breaks, play and rest. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times (with notice), and I’m available for weekday and weekend bookings depending on dates. Because I work from home, pets are not left alone for long periods and are supervised throughout the day. I keep a calm, safe home environment and follow your instructions closely (feeding routine, walking preferences, medication, and house rules). I’m careful with doors and safety checks, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured while you’re away.

About: By 12 years old, I was walking dogs for neighbours, doing check ins, playing and feeding dogs daily. We got our first cat at 14 and have cared for cats in their homes. I attended training when our gorgeous Labrador was 11 months and she was the top of her class. I trained our lovable border collie before 12 weeks and she is very obedient and fun. We recently rescued a puppy who is very large, strong and confident and has taught me so much about amichien bonding. I have experience with brushing long haired and short haired dogs, cutting nails & cleaning ears. I have cared for dogs and cats for family in my own home. As of 20.06.2026 I have up to date CPR, bandage and first aid training for dogs and cats. I have more experience and fantastic reviews! My weekly schedule will be based primarily around ‘Rover’ clients and their needs. My daily routine starts at 7am where I feed and tend to my own dogs and ducks. I have 6ft fenced back and 5ft fenced front garden. My two gorgeous girls are happy to meet any new dogs. I am fully DBS checked and understand the importance of security and access in any home. I have up to date first aid and CPR knowledge. I am confident and loving and follow your instructions. I try to go above and beyond even ensuring high security, avoiding overheating and most importantly making sure your pet is happy and safe.

About: I’m a very calm and patient person and love spending time with animals as their love for humans is unconditional.and they want nothing in return . I do work in a primary school but only on mornings so I have alot of free time on afternoons and evenings to look after pets . I would treat them like my own however I would prefer to look after them in their own home in their own safe space .

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had them in my life since I was around 13. Over the years I’ve been around larger breeds including German Shepherds, Dobermans and Rottweilers, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. My own dog, Caesar, is a rescue I adopted in Sri Lanka when he was about 4 months old. I miss him a lot, and honestly one of the reasons I wanted to make this profile is because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and caring for them. I currently work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and can give dogs attention, company and regular walks. I have a small fenced garden and there’s a walking path and open ground area only a couple of minutes from my house, which is great for walks and outdoor time. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe and cared for like they’re part of the family. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime or just lots of cuddles and attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I currently work remotely and spend most of my time at home. I also enjoy going to the gym and staying active, so daily walks and spending time outdoors with dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle. This allows me to give pets regular attention, walks, playtime and company throughout the day. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I have a small fenced garden and a walking path and open area nearby for regular walks and exercise. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking schedules and any special care needed. I understand every pet has a different personality, so I try to make them feel at home and give them lots of attention, patience and care.

About: We have both always had dogs, growing up I lived on lots of land and always had 4 dogs which I loved to train and walk. We live in an area with immediate access to lots of walks and woodland (short and long) and love to go on long walks in our spare time. We have lots of dogs who visit us part time and are treat like family. We do lots of walking in our spare time, we have lots of different dogs who come to visit and are used to many breeds both big and small. All dogs get a minimum of three good walks a day but often we do more. We have a fenced front and back yard that backs onto fields within less than a minute, there are a number of short and long walks locally that range from ten minutes onwards.

About: I have cared for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchilla, gerbil, hamster, mice, rats, fish, reptiles, small birds and parrots. I have experience working in a dog kennel and have previously been a zookeeper where my role was to feed, clean and keep up the welfare of a variety of animals. I have experience grooming dogs and small mammals as well as routinely health checking the animals in my care. I'm currently working part time as an animal care technician and am available weekdays and weekends, whatever your needs. I'd love to meet you and your furry friend to see if it's a good fit. I have a 6ft walled garden in a quiet area with plenty walks around. I can take your pet on walks, long or short, if required. I have plenty grass to let small mammals graze on if they wish. I can teach basic commands and crate train if necessary. I can toilet train puppies and train recall.

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to many other small and larger animals. Growing up surrounded by animals has given me the confidence to understand their individual personalities and needs. I currently have a dog, Rory, and two cats, Amber and Alfie, who are much-loved members of my family. When I was younger, I worked as a dog grooming assistant, where I gained valuable hands-on experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This helped me develop patience, confidence, and an understanding of how to keep pets calm and comfortable. I also regularly look after friends' and family's dogs, whether it's for walks, day care, or overnight stays. I'm naturally caring, reliable, and flexible, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. My priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. I recently completed my MSc in Dietetics and am currently taking some time before starting my long-term career. This means I have a very flexible schedule with no regular commitments, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether your pet needs regular walks, company throughout the day, overnight care, or a little extra attention, I can easily fit their routine around my day. As a pet owner myself to my dog, Rory, and my two cats, Amber and Alfie, I'm used to planning my day around feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet's usual routine, and I'll always make sure they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve while you're away. I genuinely enjoy caring for pets in their own homes, as I know this is where they feel the safest, happiest, and most comfortable. Staying in their familiar environment helps keep their routine as normal as possible and can reduce any stress while you're away. I will always treat your home with the same respect and care that I would expect someone to show my own. I'll keep everything clean, tidy, and secure, and I'll follow any instructions you leave carefully. Whether your pet is crate trained, has a specific feeding schedule, needs medication, enjoys long walks, or has particular routines and preferences, I'll make sure these are followed consistently. My goal is to provide your pet with lots of love, attention, and companionship while giving you complete peace of mind that both your pet and your home are in safe hands.

“Dominic was Punctual and professional when walking my dog. I was very grateful to him for standing in when my dog walker went on holiday.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've grown up with dogs and understand how important it is to provide them with love, patience, and a safe, happy environment. I currently have a friendly Fox Red Labrador, so I'm very familiar with the daily care, exercise, and attention dogs need to thrive. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family. I know how much your pet means to you, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience. I am available for evening and over night care. I do work in the day but I need extra work and this fits perfectly, I can work weekends. I can also book in holidays for longer stays. I have a fenced garden and a big house, I live with my little sister and mum who are both friendly and kind. I would always be with the pet always giving them attention or not too much if that’s what they like! I love to see dogs happy and it helps me also get out the house. I would make sure they are eating food and report back if not.

“Would highly recommend Ella-Marie. She was always on time and left feedback after every walk. Photos and updates always gave us peace of mind whilst we were away that Harley was looked after on his walks.”

About: Have had pets my entire life and helped friends and family with walking and dog sitting when they had other commitments so happy to help. Free almost everyday and can move things around if needed on short notice. I am happy to drive a little to complete a visit too. I have a pet myself and she is very special to me so I would treat your pets as my own as I understand how much it can mean to trust someone else with them.

“Where do I even begin! Oksana is honestly a natural with dogs! She took the time to get to know my little Bella and took her on such a fantastic walk. She did this at short notice as well as I wasn't well this morning. She is kind, caring, gracious and very loving towards animals. I would trust Oksana with my my little girl any day. Bella fell in love with her the moment she met her. Thank you for looking after my princess so well! You have a friend for life in Bella!”

About: I’ve been around dogs as long as I can remember. since recently moving out, I’ve really miss having them around, and rover is a great way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and understand patience, routine, exercise, and giving each dog the attention they need. I work full time and live alone, so owning a dog isn’t the right choice for me right now, but that makes me even more excited to help care for other peoples pets. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I’ve always given the dogs in my own family. I work 3 days on and 3 days off. So i’m available full days on my days off. This means walks, play times, and check in’s. And since I don’t own any pets myself at the moment, your dog gets my full attention. I have grown up with dogs and regularly cared for my parents dogs for weeks at a time, making sure they are safe, happy, and sticking to their routines. My home has a safe and secure garden and is directly behind a large football field, woodland area and open fields. And as a police employee with a background check, owner can feel confident their pets are with someone responsible.

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years and have been a dog boarder for 3 years. I have a mini dachshund who loves to make new doggy friends. I am experienced in puppy and elderly care and cannot wait to provide a home from home experience for your dog(s). I work from home so I am in all day and work around the dogs needs. Weekend care also available. They will be walked either once a day for a long walk or a couple of shorter walks, whatever is within the dogs needs. Each experience is tailored to the dog and owners preference. I don't mind the dog being on the bed or the couch, whatever makes the dog comfortable. I follow owners instructions.

“Can’t praise David enough for walking the dog while we’re at work, different routs everyday and the dog absolutely loves it, thank you so much!”
