Dog Walking Southport

About: I always said that I preferred dogs over people when I was a child… and it’s still true today. Myself & my fiancé have rescued 3 beautiful pooches over the years, giving us a huge understanding of dogs with varying personalities and traits. Your dog will be safe, loved, and truly understood in my hands. Dogs aren’t just pets to me - they’re family. In our home is myself (Hi I’m Kate 👋), my partner James and our 2 lovely small rescue pooches. I will be solely looking after your dog for: House Sitting, Dog Walking, Drop-in Visits and Doggy Day Care. As my partner works daytimes. However, if your dog is booked to stay in our home for Boarding, my partner will be looking after your pooch too - evenings and weekend. He is also a true dog lover and has grown up with dogs all his life. 🐕‍🦺 What I Specialise In: • Small dog care • Rescue dog understanding • Nervous, anxious, reactivity, or special quirks • Medication management and experience with chronic health issues (our beautiful dog Benji lived with cancer for 18 months, therefore I’m use to regular vet visits and administering medication) • Long-term stays: I have regularly looked after our previous neighbour’s dog, often for up to 3 weeks • High prey-drive dogs • Managing allergies • Supporting behaviour challenges like lead reactivity • Gentle, positive and understanding care 🏡 Home life: Your dog should hopefully feel right at home in our home. • Large, fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, perfect for zoomies • Dogs are welcome on the furniture • Dog-friendly environment • Playtime with my 2 dogs, walks and lots of affection Please see the about me section below 😊 I am currently at home daily, therefore your dog won’t be left alone. I will check beforehand if your dog can be left at home at all (in case I nip to the local shop etc) - If they can’t, don’t worry, they won’t be left. When my partner is off during the weekends, we like to go for longer dog walks. This includes the beach or large parks. I will always walk your dog on lead for safety. We have 2 gorgeous rescue dogs. Opal (around 5 1/2 years old). She’s a mixed breed, Romanian street dog rescue. Very quirky, fun and super clever. Niblet - our newest fluffball, (around 2 years old). A tiny, friendly Chinese street dog rescue (possibly Shih Tzu/Poodle cross). Incredibly playful and silly. Both my dogs are neutered / spayed and good with other dogs. Sadly unable to take raw fed dogs. Please feel free to ask any questions.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a child, and have cared for various animals throughout my life. Although I am new to Rover, I have always been the go-to person to care for family and friends pets, and always treat them as my own. I have experience looking after different dog breeds of varying ages with different energy levels, temperaments and particular needs. If I have the opportunity to spend time with dogs I will take it, even on my travels I will visit a dog rescue or care for the stray dogs. I have a Labrador named Daisy who is 13 years old and treat her like my child, so rest assured I know the importance of caring for your pup! I am currently working part-time meaning I have a flexible schedule. I am available Monday mornings and afternoons, Tuesday early mornings and afternoons, Wednesday and Thursday before 9am and after 3pm. Weekends are more flexible as I am off two days and alternate a 4 hour shift on a Friday/Saturday so have plenty of time. I live with my mum in a house which has gates at the front and side, and a fenced garden. I have a 13 year old Labrador who is very gentle and friendly.

“Sean has been amazing with Layla. She was new to longer walks when she first started with him and he has helped her become much more confident and comfortable. She is always excited for her walks and Sean’s visits.”

About: I run my own local dog walking business and specialise in small, carefully matched group walks. I prefer keeping my groups relaxed and chilled, so every dog gets proper attention, plenty of sniffing time and the chance to actually enjoy their walk without being lost in a huge pack. I’ve also have experience working within a dog rescue and have experience caring for deaf, blind and elderly dogs, as well as dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and quirks, and I’ll always make sure they’re placed with dogs who genuinely suit them. As a lifelong dog owner myself, I know how nerve-racking it can be trusting someone else with your dog. I’m reliable, attentive and always happy to send photo updates, because I know owners love seeing that their dog is safe, happy and having an adventure. I currently offer dog walks on Wednesdays and Fridays, usually during the morning. In warmer weather, I prioritise earlier walks where possible so dogs can enjoy themselves safely and comfortably before the hottest part of the day. I keep my availability limited so I can give each dog reliable, unrushed care. I am canine first aid trained and carry a first aid kit on walks. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers and individual needs on solo walks initially. Dogs are carefully matched for small group walks, and I never place a dog into a group unless I’m confident they’ll be comfortable. I use secure leads and equipment, keep owners updated, and always put safety before squeezing in extra dogs.

“Great communication. Would definitely recommend to others and will book Helen again x”

“Leah has walked my Cockapoo Benny a few times now, before her first walk with him she came and met us, she’s lovely, keeps me updated about Benny, sends pictures and is flexible. Leah was a great find on here and I’ll definitely be booking again.”

“Sophie arrived early to greet our dogs. Sophie and the dogs took to each other and they went for a walk. The dogs returned well walked. We are very pleased with Sophie and would rate five stars and will be asking for Sophie to walk our dogs again soon. Thanks Sophie. Brilliant”

About: Hi, I’m Lewis from Southport. I provide calm, reliable one-to-one dog walking, pet sitting and drop-in visits with a strong focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for in their usual routine. I have over five years of experience caring for dogs and pets, along with a Level 2 Diploma in Animal Care. I am DBS checked, fully insured and pet first aid trained. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities and energy levels, including younger dogs who enjoy more exercise and older dogs who may prefer slower, calmer walks. I understand that every dog has their own routine and individual needs, so I always aim to provide patient, personalised care and make sure each dog feels relaxed, safe and happy during walks and visits. I particularly enjoy providing solo walks and calm one-to-one care rather than large group walks, as this allows me to build trust with each dog and give them my full attention. I take pride in being dependable, friendly and professional, and I always try to keep owners updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, slower paced strolls or simply having company and care while you’re away, I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel happy, settled and comfortable. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I provide reliable one-to-one dog walking, pet sitting and home visits across Southport, with a focus on keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. I aim to be flexible where possible and understand that every pet has different needs, energy levels and routines. Whether a dog enjoys longer walks and exercise or prefers slower paced walks and companionship, I always try to provide calm, patient and personalised care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing are always my priority. I provide calm, one-to-one care and take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and needs. I am DBS checked, insured and pet first aid trained, and I always aim to create a safe, relaxed and positive environment during walks and visits. For pet sitting and drop-in visits, I care for pets within their own home environment where they are most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I understand how important routine and reassurance can be, especially for pets who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I also offer a free meet and greet before bookings so both owners and pets can feel comfortable, ask questions and make sure the service is the right fit for their needs.

About: I had my last pet 18 months ago when she had to be put to sleep, I work part time, so your pet would never be left for more than 3 hours at a time, I love being outdoors and playing giving lots of attention, ensuring your pets are happy and content when in my care I only work part time so I have plenty of time to give your furry family all the attention playtime and exercise they need to be happy and content I have a back yard with tall walls so your pet would be kept safe at all times, dogs free to roam throughout the whole house

About: I’ve had pets since I was born and love dogs, we love having family days out with our dog. I take him on country walks and he loves the beach. We would treat your dog like ours. Give lots of walks and cuddles. I currently don’t work so at home so can accommodate anything. I love to be outside. I can do morning, lunch and evening animal walks I have a fenced garden that has lots do for animals. They will love it plus the house needs work so we allow the freedom of the animals

About: 🖤 I have 2 labrador’s at home so I am no stranger to larger dogs. I am welcome to any dogs/cats and I am always happy to help. My dogs are ones that get excited seeing other dogs on walks so if your dog is like that it isn’t a problem as I can handle the situation accordingly and won’t be startled by a pull on the lead. I have a puppy so I am very prepared for any hyper dogs and I know that a good way to tire my dog out is a game of catch and a good walk. I am a part time waitress having most weekdays free and only working a few hours in the evenings. I do work most weekends but if I was desperately needed time off is simple to book so depending on the situation I am more than able to ask for that. I will always have availability all day mon/tue and also available until 5pm wed/thurs. For weekends my rota changes so i won’t always have the same availability each weekend but I will add it to my profiles calendar about a week or so in advance. At someone else’s home I will always ask what they are comfortable with and will make sure to be respectful of your wishes. If a dog is ever at my home I have a large back garden which is fenced and if your dog is friendly I also have 2 cuddly labrador’s to keep them company.
