Dog Walking Skirlaugh

“Maisie was brilliant walking my two boys at our local dog field. She came to pick them up from our house and took them to the dog field for a run around. She gave a detailed update of what they got up to and plenty of pictures of them having fun!”

About: I believe pets aren’t just animals - they’re family. That’s why everything I do is built around trust, compassion, and genuinely personalised care. I’m an animal lover with a CPD Accredited Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming, Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, offering professional dog walking, pet sitting, puppy and kitten care, and overnight house sitting tailored to suit each pet’s unique personality, age, and individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for young puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle handling they require. From helping puppies build routines and supporting toilet training, to providing slower-paced, comfort-focused care for older dogs, and calm, attentive support for pregnant dogs, I treat every stage of a pet’s life with the care and respect it deserves. No two pets are the same, which is why I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special requirements. I am fully insured and DBS checked, giving you complete peace of mind whether you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a holiday. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and happiness always come first. Whether your dog needs an energy-burning walk, your senior pet needs gentle companionship, or your puppy or pregnant dog requires extra reassurance and care at home, I offer reliable, loving support you can trust. With regular updates, photos, and open communication, you’ll always know your furry family members are in safe, caring hands. Because for me, it’s not just pet care - it’s care with heart 🐶🐱💛 I work as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, offering flexible availability from Monday to Sunday, because I understand that your furry friends need love, care, and routine every day of the week - not just weekdays. Dog walks and drop-in visits are available between 7:30am and 7:30pm, allowing for both early starts and evening care to fit around your schedule. House sitting services are arranged on an individual basis and will be discussed in detail with each owner to ensure the best possible care for your home and pets. My aim is to provide reliable, consistent, and stress-free care that works for both you and your pets 🐾💛 The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every pet in my care is always my top priority. All services are provided in the pet owner’s home or out on walks, allowing pets to remain in familiar surroundings and continue with their normal routines. Before any service begins, I take the time to get to know each pet through an initial meeting and a detailed pet information form. This helps me understand feeding routines, exercise needs, medical requirements, behavioural traits, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I adapt my care to suit each pet’s individual needs - from gentle handling and slower walks to increased supervision and reassurance. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I treat both the pets and the property with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions provided, maintain home security, and aim to keep routines as consistent as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. During house sitting services, pets receive companionship, attention, and calm, reliable care while their home remains secure. For dog walking services, I assess each dog individually, use secure leads and harnesses, choose safe walking routes, and closely monitor behaviour at all times. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age, health, and energy levels to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. I am fully insured and DBS checked, and I maintain clear, open communication with owners throughout every service, including regular updates and photos. My aim is to build long-term trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, compassionate care in a safe and familiar environment.

“Kalina walked our Freddie for us. We did a meet & greet first and we knew Fred would be in great hands. We could see how good she was with animals. She arrived on time and took Freddie for a walk. I got plenty of updates ☺️ I will continue using Kalina in the future. Thank you x”

About: Fully insured! I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, having grown up with dogs and cats. Their companionship means the world to me. Even when I haven’t had pets of my own, I’ve happily helped family and friends by walking their dogs, feeding their pets, and providing loving attention. I’m excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting services for both dogs and cats. These roles not only allow me to provide reliable, loving care for your pets but also help me gain valuable experience as I pursue my goal of becoming a dog trainer. I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I work full-time from home, I have the flexibility to fit pet care into my day easily. This allows me to combine my love of animals with regular walks and visits, making it a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I’m adaptable with timing and can accommodate lunchtimes, evenings, or other hours that work best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in their owners homes, my top priority is to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and cared for just as they would be if you were there. I pay close attention to their individual needs—whether that’s following feeding schedules, giving them plenty of attention and exercise, or simply providing a calm and loving environment. I believe every pet deserves the best care possible, and I’m committed to meeting all their needs while you’re away.

About: As a passionate dog lover, my mission is simple: to give your four-legged best friends the exercise, socialization, and absolute best care they deserve! Whether your pup loves exploring the beach, sniffing through the parks, or just needs a solid leg-stretch and potty break while you’re at work, I’ve got you covered! 🫶🏼 I’m currently self employed so have a clear schedule most days to look after and walk your dogs/ cats or other animals! I’m hoping to make this full time! I will always ask the pet owner to leave an extensive list of things that I am able to follow that will make their pet feel as calm and comfortable as they can be while you’re away!

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets has given me a genuine understanding of their different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I've owned a Labrador Retriever and currently have a Working Cocker Spaniel, so I have hands-on experience with both relaxed family dogs and more energetic breeds that require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I've also had cats throughout my life, giving me a good understanding of feline behaviour and the importance of providing a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for neighbours, friends, and family, including home visits, feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while owners have been away. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication orally(if required), maintaining exercise routines, or simply providing plenty of love, attention and reassurance; I tailor my care to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I am also fully insured for your peace of mind and carry first aid kit either on me or in the car. I have a flexible schedule, which means I'm available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week, including weekends. This allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the pets in my care, while working around their usual routines. Your pet's wellbeing is always my top priority. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medication (where needed), and any special requirements to help them feel comfortable and settled. During warmer weather, I also take extra precautions to keep dogs safe. If temperatures exceed 22°C, I won't take dogs out for walks, as heat can be dangerous. Instead, I'll provide indoor enrichment, play, and plenty of attention, along with access to fresh water and regular comfort breaks in a safe, shaded area where appropriate. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure home where pets can relax and feel part of the family while you're away. I live in a house with a large, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy regular toilet breaks. Inside, they'll have plenty of companionship, attention, and a comfortable environment to settle into. I also have a 5-month-old female Working Cocker Spaniel who is friendly, playful, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She has a gentle nature and is also comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets carefully and supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll always follow your instructions regarding routines, boundaries, feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. My aim is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I'd want for my own pet, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I was raised around German shepherds for 19 years and I had about 15! I've currently got a little border terrier, who's 4 and I've had him from a pup. I understand the training needs for dogs of all ages. I'm home consistently, and can assure that they'd be treated the way I treat my own. I have looked after family dogs, friends dogs and others before when they've been away. I enjoy taking days out with the dogs, to the beach or forests. I like to give them good socialising experiences and I understand the importance of this. Their care and welfare is of upmost importance to me. I'm home consistently, and currently I am looking to build a permanent doggy day care business. This will be my weekly routine, and full time earning. I have a Border Terrier and he is allowed the rein of the house. There's a secure back garden, that has a 6ft fence that he regularly runs around and plays in. My house has three large reception rooms so plenty of space for a dog to run and play in. There's an amplitude of toys and treats! They'll also have plenty of room if they need a minute to themselves. There's a designated area for dog beds and blankets for them to have a nap in. I am also a 5 minute walk away from the playing fields, where I often walk my dog.

About: I have taken care of friends and families, neighbours pets for them whilst they are away, or at work. I have a dog of my own and had him since being a puppy and would love to help others out with looking after their pet whilst they are away or at work and unable to. I’m currently studying so I have a lot of free time as well for something I enjoy doing. I am free most days and can also do last minute requests. I have a fenced garden at my house and it’s a rather big open plan home so they would have plenty of space to play and roam around. I am able to adapt and change things if necessary to make you feel more comfortable and confident in looking after your fur baby

About: I’ve grew up with animals since I was born with my first dog poppy. Since then I have owned another 2 dogs my current being Bertie who lives at my parents but is my whole world. I currently live in a farm with over 15 cats who are my family and bring so much joy to my world. I have also owned various other animals . I have pet sitter friends dogs when I was younger as well as taking care of puppies during the day when owners have been at work. I’m reliable hard working and loving and the animal is always my priority. Please get in touch if you would like an animal lover to take care of your dog, cat etc or a dog walk. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I’m currently off work due to personal circumstances I’m free the majority of the time apart from personal appointments which can be worked around. So I’m available as and when you require me. I can easily take your dog out in the car if needed and the dog is ok with travelling. I can take your dog on local dog walks. I can also house sit if required. I do not offer pet care in my own home due to not having a garden with living in an apartment.
