Dog Walking Southam

About: Hello, I'm Arwen! As a full-time Personal Assistant who works mostly remotely from home, I'm lucky to have a flexible schedule that lets me be completely hands-on with your pets on weekdays. 
Because I can easily set up my laptop anywhere with reliable Wi-Fi, I’m more than happy to base myself at your home for a couple of hours during the day if you're particularly worried about leaving your pets alone (we can discuss that more in person). This means your furry family members won't have to spend long hours alone, and I can provide companionship, play, and peace of mind whilst you're away from them.  I have been a cat owner since I was a child and have a profound love for animals in general. However, cats and dogs hold a particularly special place in my heart because of their distinct personalities! The lovely Ragdoll cat featured in my profile picture is Luna, whom I adopted when she was 14 months old. Now, at 8 years old (time really flies, doesn’t it?!), she means the world to me, and I cherish her deeply. She is my top priority, and I’m sure you can relate to how quickly pets become integral members of the family. I promise to provide your pets with the same love, care, and attention that I give to my own. My stepmother is a volunteer for Cats Protection, and both she and my father foster cats until they find new homes. This has given me a wealth of experience with cats of different temperaments and breeds. I also frequently dog sit for my friends and neighbours when they need assistance, and I live a very active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors. You’ll often see me walking or hiking with a dog by my side! I regularly take care of my friend’s two rescue cats, Bandit and Nova. They can be a bit anxious, but I ensure they receive the attention and care they require. You can find their pictures in the clients section here. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I mainly work remotely during the week, with flexible working, so I’m able to fit pet sitting in around my job. I’m also an early bird, so I’m up from 6-6.30am most days. I love walking, so I'm outdoors every day. I care for pets in the pet owners home as I live in an apartment and I don’t have a garden. Also, because of my cat, it wouldn’t be fair to her to bring other pets into her own safe territory.

“Hannah was lovely with Dottie. Took her for a long walk at short notice which was really appreciated. I was sent pics etc.. during the walk. Very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will use her again I’m sure :)”

About: Having grown up surrounded by a pack of five dogs, caring for pets isn't just a job for me it’s second nature. I spent my formative years fully hands on with our family dogs, taking charge of their daily training as energetic pups and providing gentle, specialised nursing care through their senior, end of life stages. Today, I raise two 11 month old Rottweiler puppies, giving me immediate, real time experience with high energy breeds, positive reinforcement training, and the strict structure young dogs need to thrive. Whether your dog needs a high energy neighbourhood walk to burn off steam or a quick drop in visit for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks, my lifelong background means your best friend and fur baby is in calm, highly capable hands. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my weekly schedule because managing active dogs is already a core part of my daily life. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I have open availability dedicated fully to drop in visits, walks, and sitting. Because I manage my own daily routine around my two young Rottweilers, I am used to early morning potty breaks, scheduled midday feeding and exercise, and structured evening care. Your dog will become a seamless priority in my schedule ensuring they get their walks, attention, and routine right on time, exactly when they expect it Every pet is unique, and keeping their environment predictable and safe is my top priority. When caring for pets in your home whether for drop-in visits or dog walking I make it a point to strictly follow every single rule, schedule, and boundary you have established for your dog. During drop-in visits, I stick precisely to your feeding instructions, medication routines, crate rules, and house guidelines (like furniture access or off-limit areas). During walks, I maintain your preferred leash protocols, keep distance from triggers if needed, and reinforce any ongoing training commands you use. Having raised multiple large breeds, I understand how critical consistency is for a dog's behaviour and comfort. You can rely on me to follow your exact expectations to the letter, leaving your home secure and your pet happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I care for dog’s needs and can form quick connections with the dogs I’ve looked after. Dogs are drawn to me and are always a good distraction at work from waitering. If your dog can sit still I will also draw it for you! I work part time at the weekend while creating art during the week, I find it very beneficial therefore to get quality time in nature. Why not bring a dog with me! I have experience looking after family members’ pets including a big poodle named reggie. I know to give him his attention and treats when he needs.

“Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Krithu, As a family, we understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can genuinely trust. We have a fun-loving 3-year-old Labrador who is a treasured member of our family, so we know just how much love, care, and attention dogs need every day. While caring for our own dog has given me and my mother (Sangeetha) valuable hands-on experience with energetic breeds, daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and creating a safe, happy environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for around 9 years and genuinely love having them as part of our family. I understand that every dog is different, so before your stay I’ll take the time to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, feeding and exercise needs. Your dog will stay in our comfortable family home with my friendly Chihuahua, with a secure fenced garden and a park within walking distance for walks and fresh air. I’m home for most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of company and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m only away for the usual school drop-offs and pick-ups during term time. I have two children, so I only accept friendly dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. I always introduce dogs carefully and make sure they have time to settle in. I’m happy to keep you updated during your dog’s stay with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re happy and being well looked after. I particularly welcome small to medium-sized, friendly dogs who will enjoy a calm, home-from-home environment. Before every first booking, I’m happy to arrange a Meet & Greet so you and your dog can meet us, see the home and make sure we’re a good fit. Your dog’s safety, happiness and normal routine are my priority, and I’ll treat them as one of the family while they’re with us. 🐾 I’m home for most of the day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Dogs staying with me have plenty of company, attention and opportunities for toilet breaks, play and walks throughout the day. I usually start the morning with breakfast, a toilet break and a walk. During the day, dogs can relax at home, enjoy the secure garden, have playtime and receive regular attention. I’ll follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and medication routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re getting on. In the evening, there’s another walk, dinner, garden time and plenty of relaxing together before bedtime. I’m flexible and happy to adapt the routine to suit each dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my priority. I provide a clean, comfortable and secure home environment with a fully fenced garden.

You’ll also receive regular photo and message updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.

About: I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I did grooming for guide dogs and completed my level 2 and 3 in dog grooming. I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and owned many different types of animals. I have my own dog Mia and she’s a chiweenie (chihuahua x dachshund) and she loves other dogs. I have trained her and involved her in puppy training classes to maintain toilet training and recall 🐾. I also have a dog called Bandit and he’s also very very friendly with other dogs. He knows to respect space and boundaries of other dogs as he is around an older rescue daily. I have owned and taken care of dogs and animals my entire life and have a true passion for animals of all sizes 🐾. I’d love to take care of your pet for you, and can guarantee any pet in my care is treated as one of the family 🐾🌸. I have lots of time as I want to go into dog grooming/ care full time. I previously have been completing my grooming qualifications which I have now completed. I offer all my attention and time ensuring the dogs feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Making sure there’s a bond built along with trust especially during the first time meeting.

This allows me to adapt to your dog’s routine as much as possible, ensuring they receive the time, care, walks, and play they need. I can be available throughout the day for walks, companionship, and enrichment activities, giving your dog plenty of attention, stimulation, and interaction. 🐾 Caring for your dog correctly is of utmost importance to me. I prioritise their safety, routine, and calm handling at all times. I have a fully fenced garden with plenty of grassy space for your little ones to enjoy, as well as a peaceful indoor environment for when they need to relax. I always follow owners instructions carefully and provide clear, consistent communication throughout each booking.

“Annie completes weekly walks with our dog and she’s great! Ralph loves her and enjoys his walks. She’s friendly and communicates well and we feel comfortable with her coming in and out of the home whilst we’re working. We recommend Annie! X”

About: I’ve spent 4 years volunteering with the cinnamon trust, which is a charity providing pet care for the elderly and disabled who are no longer able to take care of their pets on their own. This includes walking, feeding, potty breaks and visits to keep company. I’m a university student currently off on break, which means I’m very open to changing my routine to fit in pets as I’d love to help out with taking care of animals. I am unfortunately not able to house pets in my flat, but I am very happy to take care of pets in owners homes if needed. I’m very attentive and love caring for pets. I’m happy to go on long or short walks and would enjoy spending the rest of the day keeping your pets company.

“I booked a walk twice a day for 3 days. The service was very good, my dog was happy to go with them and looked happy on the photos they sent me.”
