About: I have grown up with dogs, absolutely love taking my friends dogs for long walks in the countryside. They have also stayed with me at my home whilst their mommy’s are on holiday. I take great care in making sure their dogs are happy and content when with me. When we go out for walks I have a vast array of doggy essentials! I am also very safety conscious when out and about as their safety is a priority. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for pet care and dog walks. I like to take walks outdoors every day and also pop to the gym a few times a week. Please note my day job demands I work Monday and Tuesday 9-5 and Wednesday 9-1pm out of the home therefore I can’t take any dogs on these days/times unless they are ok to be left 4 hours. My garden is fully enclosed and I currently do not own any pets. I only board one dog or 2 dogs from the same household at a time. I have owned cats for the last 20 years but currently taking a break from being an owner as the lost of my elderly cat devastated our family.
“100% will book again in the future! Booked Dominic for a dog walk really last minute and was super happy with him! Bailey was slightly nervous at the meet and greet and Dominic was really calm and soon had Bailey come round. The pictures were great that were sent over to me and Bailey looked very happy on his walk! Thank you!”


“Hannah was amazing on her first walk with my dog! She was friendly, professional, and clearly loves animals. My dog came back happy and well-exercised, and I really appreciated the time taken to get to know him and his nature before the walk. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”


About: I own 1 dog , Rudy who is 13. Until recently, I owned 2 dogs, however , Bella passed away a few weeks ago aged 12. I’ve always lived with dogs since a child and enjoy having my own dogs at home. My main focus would be dog walking, as I walk long distances each day I have been on maternity leave for the past year, & have recently been made redundant from my job . Which has now given me more flexibility each day to be able to support dog walking needs . I have a friendly dog who could keep your dog company, or can also provide a walking service without him. I will always respect owners wishes , with regards to care, environment of walks, & length of walks. I will always adapt the walk to suit the prefences of the dog & their owner

About: I've been taking care of family and friend's dogs, love going for walks with them as well as snuggling up on the sofa. I work from home Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, so i can provide dog sitting services on those days, I can provide dog walks any day in the evenings. We have a fenced garden and no pets or children. A lovely dog walking route over the fields is only 5 minutes away from the house, which is in a quiet area.
“Harrison was fab walking Belle, he went above and beyond to make it a fun and enriching walk for her. He also specialises with gun dogs which was perfect for Belle - will definitely book with him from now on.”
About: I'm 34, live in Newhall and work in the Emergency Services. I'm trustworthy and reliable. I've had dogs and cats all my life (and smaller pets- gerbils, hamsters, fish and rabbits and guinea pigs). My parents and other family have dogs I look after regularly and I look afte the neighbours dog when they're away. Otherwise I've got a peaceful life with 2 cats. Unfortunately don't have the time to have a dog full time so I just borrow everyone else's 🤣 I work from home full Time but long days. Shift work is normally 4 on 4 off so the days I'm free will vary but I do get breaks so if you're not too far from me we can make it work. I'll be sensitive to your and your pets needs. Realistically I can't have any pets here as it'll upset my female cat because she takes some time to get used to other cats and I don't think she'd be keen on a dog staying.

About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a dog walker for 3 years. I have a certification in pet first aid and am fully insured. I also have a van and offer group walks. I work between 4 and 6 during the week and have flexible university hours meaning I'll be able to work around the pet owner's schedule. I have a fenced yard as well as two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed but have plenty of room to play.

About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and a genuine passion for animal welfare. Through both my studies and personal experience, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, health, handling and care. I have regularly looked after dogs and cats for family members and family friends, providing feeding, walking, playtime, companionship and general care while owners were away. I am reliable, responsible and committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I am confident caring for animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I work full-time as a mental health nurse, but my schedule allows me to plan ahead and organise my time effectively. I am available before and after work, on my days off, and most weekends. Caring for others is a big part of who I am, and I bring the same patience, reliability, and attention to detail to caring for pets. I will always ensure pets receive the care, exercise, attention, and companionship they need, while following their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. The safety and wellbeing of every pet in my care is my top priority. I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any specific needs before caring for them. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, I ensure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, receive plenty of attention, and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine for feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest. I am reliable, organised, and attentive to detail, and I will always follow any instructions provided by the owner. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My experience working as a nurse has strengthened my ability to remain calm, responsible, and observant, helping me provide safe and compassionate care for every pet.
About: Hi my names Ellie and I’m a dog walker based in Swadlincote. My fur baby is called Otis and he is now 5 months old. We love exploring and going on different adventures. I have also taken care of my mums dogs for 7 years now. I would love to do a meet and greet before any walk so your dog/dogs are familiar with who I am. My work pattern is currently two on and four off so I have plenty of free time available to take care of your fur babies. I currently offer 30 minutes and 1 hour dog walks but if your pet would prefer to stay at home I am happy to do pet sits also.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters for around 10 years in total. My friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I would make sure your pet is looked after. I am working full-time from home, so I would be able to take care of your pet on my lunch break or after work at 5 PM (if I am doing drop-ins), fully available for boarding. Fully available for drop-ins over weekend. Based on needs I am able to follow instructions in order to make sure your pet feels safe and you are stress-free while enjoying the time off/travel.
About: I have studied animal care and agriculture at college, I then went on to completing my level 2 dog grooming apprenticeship where I handled all different types of breeds and their different personalities. I have also volunteered at different animal care establishments along the way. Ive also done pet sitting/walking for a few different breeds. Im currently working part time so I’ll have flexibility to care for, play with and make time with your dogs around my working hours. When looking after a pet in the owners home I will meet all the owners wishes for their pets and give them all the attention they need! Making sure they’re safe and well looked after.
