Dog Walking in Shropshire

“Amy walked Bella an hour a day for a week while she was staying with my mum. Great communication throughout, and Bella really enjoyed her walks!”

“Well, Bryn took to Jack straight away and had a lovely time. I would definitely recommend him to others and would certainly call on him again if I needed. Thank you Jack!”

About: Hello 👋🏻, May 2025 Update - Currently only taking on shorter Rover bookings (up to two nights boarding) still happy to offer daycare/drop-ins and walks when I am available. Booking that are already confirmed are unaffected. I have grown up with cats and dogs and now have my own dog, River, who is 3 years old. River enjoys having doggy play dates and making new friends! Need someone to help care for your pet? Give your dog a holiday whilst you're away through the home boarding service. Your dog will stay in a safe, comfortable home - rather than a kennel. Boarding services cover up to 24 hours and need to be booked with a one hour drop off and collection window. Need someone to care for your pet whilst you’re busy in the day? Take the stress out of worrying about your dog by using the daycare service. Your dog will have a day of fun, walks, snuggles + play. Need someone to pop in and check on your pet? I am trustworthy and reliable and can make a visit for tailored feeding, play + interaction and toilet breaks. This service covers addresses within a 6mile radius of my home address. Need someone to help with walking your pet? I can help with both one-off or scheduled weekly walks and aim to return them home happy and tired. (Please only book the walking service if you need support with walking your dog, if I need to enter your home to feed your dog you will need to book the drop-in service as well). I am DBS checked for your peace of mind, and will send regular pupdates. I have a flexible working schedule which allows me to have great flexibility to care for your dog, I work from home during the week and with Children's Services around my Rover bookings. I provide home from home care so will have a maximum of three dogs at one time, this includes our dog River. I’m happy to pick up and drop off your dog, if required, this is up to a maximum distance of a 15 minute drive from Shrewsbury and this can be added through the pick up and drop off service. At home I have a fully fenced garden and your dog will have access to the whole home and garden. I am happy for dogs to be on furniture, however, I do not sleep with dogs in the bed at night and they will sleep downstairs. There’s plenty of space for you to bring a crate if your dog is crate trained. Please be assured that your pet will not be placed in the crate unnecessarily. Myself, my husband and our two children live here with River so your dog will be kept busy and well-loved whilst they stay with us.

About: Now experienced dog sitters, Louke and I have both grown up with dogs. At the moment as well as our own dog, Pacey (a rescue Border Collie x Retriever) we also have ‘shared custody’ of Louke’s parents’ Lab Retriever, Oli. We regularly look after our family dogs, which range from Frenchie to Shitzu to Labradoodle. We’ve experience with dogs of all sizes and had dogs from a pup so we’re capable with training too. We understand from having our own anxious boy how hard it can be finding trustworthy sitters who treat your dog like their own, but that is definitely what we will do. We’re happy to continue any training needs your dog may have and have experience with dogs of all ages. I’m very outdoorsy so love going on long walks - my favourite local spot is Nescliffe Hill, but also love an afternoon on the Long Mynd. Louke is at home full time and available to do additional dog walking services, and I work in a hybrid role working from home some days of the week, so we have a great schedule for caring for your four-legged friends. We only have a maximum of five dogs at a time, including our own dog Pacey. We have a walled garden for playing, and some nice spots locally to our home for walks, but will also be taking them out in the car (provided you are comfortable with this) for longer walks. As mentioned above, we have our dog Pacey living with us full time and Oli once or twice a fortnight, and they’re both very easy-going and friendly so plenty of opportunity for your dogs to socialise.

“Thank you so much for accommodating a last minute change of plans and walking Ernie today especially as it's freezing 🥶 Ernie looked like he had a lovely time and enjoyed his walk 😊”

“Thank you Natalia for looking after Minnie so well. She had a great time with you and Neil, especially playing games with Neil and going out for a run! Minnie would happily have stayed with you for longer and is looking forward to her next stay with you.”

About: Personalized Care: I would pay close attention to each pet's unique needs, routines, and preferences, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. Experience with Puppies: I'm well-versed in puppy care, including basic training and establishing good habits from the start. I could assist with potty training, crate training, and socialization, ensuring your puppy grows up well-behaved and happy. Senior Pet Care: I have experience working with senior pets and would be extra gentle, patient, and mindful of their specific needs. Whether it's administering medication, providing mobility assistance, or just offering lots of extra TLC, I would ensure they remain comfortable and safe. Exercise & Mental Stimulation: I understand how important it is to keep pets engaged and active, especially for dogs. I’d provide stimulating walks, playtime, and even teach new tricks to keep them sharp. Daily Updates: I know how much peace of mind it gives pet owners to get regular updates. I’d send you pictures, videos, and messages about how your pet is doing, so you never have to worry. These qualities, combined with a true love for animals, would make me a sitter you'd trust! I currently work alternating shift patterns in the week, 6 am-2 pm/2 pm-10 pm. I am free around this pattern and free on the weekend too I have one blind Jack Russel x chiuaua. We have a fully secured fenced garden and a large lawn area for him to play in.

About: Hi I'm Kim, an enthusiastic do lover from birth. I've always been around dogs from a young age. I've cared and loved my own terrier for 5 years now and he is the loveliest little boy you will ever meet. It can be a nervous time trusting a stranger with your fur baby but my aim is to treat your dog as if they were my own. I am more then happy to broaden my experience and care for other breeds and wonderful animals. I will also send you photos and videos and keep you updated on what your doggo is up to I live in a friendly neighbourhood in a cosy, and safe environment with a fenced off garden to run around in. I regularly go out for walks with my dog the same time every day. I try and mix things up and visit different places or routes to make it interesting. Feeding is also part of the routine at the same time, day and night. Your dog will have toys to play with and a friend to socialise with in my very cosy and open home. Dogs have free reign of the whole house, Chilling on the sofa or cuddles in bed, water is regularly topped up and an abundant of treats are always on stand by

About: I had my first dog at the age of 10, I remember saving up my pocket money and picking him up, it was truly the best day of my life. Since then, not only did I walk, feed ,bathe and nurture my own beautiful boy, I had great joy being someone to rely upon for my neighbours, friends and family as they could see my love for dogs. Unfortunately in recent years I have moved to a property where pets aren’t allowed, and an opportunity like this would fill the doggy-sized hole in my life! feel free to contact me whenever! I’m currently working part time as I am a student back for summer break, making me extremely flexible and unlikely to ever decline an opportunity to love your pet. I have grown up around dogs such as Rottweilers, Doberman and German shepherds, so no dog is too big or too hard to handle. I am a young, active male so keeping control of any dog on a leash will not be a concern!

“Absolutely fantastic dog walker — friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about the dogs. Grateful for the extra-long walks she gave my dog; Haku always came back happy and well-exercised. Highly recommend!”

Kasandra A.

“Was great help with last minute request to walk Dopey. Arrived on time, and Dopey had a great time in the local park. Would recommend.”

About: I train, breed and have fostered guide dogs for a number of years. We love all animals and offer a safe loving and fun environment. I'm at home working as a carer, i also craft from home. Dogs are my life alongside my husband. We have lots of free time to spend with your furbaby. We have a secure fenced garden full of toys and play areas with cctv. Our 2 Labradors love having company. We offer plenty of enrichment for those unbearable hot days where it's not safe to take out for walks due to the heat. I have plenty of time,energy to spend with my own girls who love to spend time with newbie playmates. Ball chucks and long walks are a must in our daily routine. I also hold a Enhanced DBS as I volunteer craft days for the local council and also do Facepainting for children, my calendar fits around these activities.

“10/10 service, extra care was taken for Svennie and she seemed to love the walk! Would book again”

“Lydia took our beautiful girl out for an hour locally making the effort to come to our environment to help our sensitive girl to get to know her in a familiar space including a visit to the local river.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats all my life and am happiest when taking care of them. So much so I have pursued a career as a veterinary nurse! My skills as a nurse mean I am great at understanding your pets' behaviour and can fulfill any medication requirements they may have. I live away from my own pets so I miss spending quality time with animals and I can't wait to meet yours! As well as my experience at work and with my own pack, I have cared for my friend's pets several times. I love going on long walks so if you have an active dog, I would be delighted to take them on some adventures too. I will be doing flexible work over summer, meaning I will have plenty of time to keep your pup company! I may be moving around a little for work, but when in the area I can be flexible with my schedule so please doesn't hesitate to let me know what works for you! This also means I can take bookings in a wider radius. I know it can be strange for pets to be away from you so I am dedicated to keeping life as normal and relaxed for them as possible by following their normal routine in their own home. I hope to work with you to follow whatever exercise routine is best for your pup; whether they enjoy high energy exercise or prefer to just have a potter round the garden.

About: I’ve always been brought up around rescue dogs , from Romanian street dogs to chihuahuas , I can adapt easily to any behavioural needs , breeds and sizes I am currently working part/full time hours dependent on the week , I am available every Wednesday with the occasional weekend i can sometimes offer I can adhere to any requirements you have regarding your pets care , whether using a crate , harness , dietary requirements etc , I am happy to hear all needs and discuss any questions

About: I've taken care of pets all my life, worked within kennels and in vets. I now work from home with my 8 year old labrador and 1 year old cockapoo 🐾 I currently work from home full time, I can take regular breaks to let your pet out when needed, take them for walks and give them cuddles. I have a fenced garden with two friendly dogs to keep your pet company, or they can sit with me in my office and keep me company during the working day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, participating in lots of dog shows, pet sitting for family/friends and always loved getting outdoors with any four legged friend. I also work full time for a Premium Fresh Dog Food company and recently completed a Level 3 Award in Canine Nutrition achieving a Higher Distinction Grade. I work from home the majority of the time and in a dog friendly office once a week, so if your dog(s) are social able with other dogs and people I would love to bring them in with me for the day. I also have experience in looking after stray dogs in Asia of different breeds and sizes and love making dogs lives a happier place on earth as they do for us. I am also used to walking a variety of breeds of dogs so would feel comfortable walking your dog during my visit at no extra charge. As for my rates, I charge £35 up to 7 hours and £45 up to 10 hours. Let me know if you require less than 10 hours of sitting and I will adjust the rate for you. I am currently unable to sit for your dogs in my own home so it would be in your own home only at the moment. I am open to day sitting or overnight stays so let me know what suits you best and I will be happy to accommodate. As for dog walking I’m flexible to walk your pups early mornings 6-9am or evenings 6-9pm aswell as availability on the weekends. I always check with yourself if there are any rules or safety requirements in your home (enclosed garden). I always stay in contact with you via WhatsApp/Rover and send photo updates to ensure you have that trust and reassurance you need.

“Zoe can sometimes be a little distant when first getting to know someone but took to Jessica right away, so I had no concerns with leaving her and she really seemed to enjoy her walk. You can clearly see that Jessica has a love for animals and I'm sure Zoe picked up on that.”
