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 6 years old). She’s a gorgeous mixed breed (Romanian street dog rescue). Very quirky, fun and super clever. Niblet - our newest fluffball, (around 2 1/2 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.

“Helen is very friendly, approachable and reliable. Would highly recommend and use her services again. Helen took Simba on a local walk and provided pictures of our dog Simba who looked very happy :) Thank you!”

About: I have worked in a office with 7 German Sheppards. I currently have a 13 year old gorgeous retriever called Molly, and a 4 year old grand dog retriever. I have looked after friends and family dogs I currently work on a Tuesday and Thursday daytime but I will be available on these days after 5.15pm. I have full availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I have a pet friendly home. My three cats don't share the same area although they could if they wanted to. One of my cats is timid, one is in your face, and one is frightened so I have a whole mix of cat temperaments. Our elderly family dog is used to cats, kittens and tortoises and doesn't bother at all.

“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.”

“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.

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.

About: I’m Ros, i’m an animal lover and proud dog mum! I grew up with dogs and now have my own dog Atlas who I have had since a puppy and who loves other dogs. Any other dog will be treated as part of the family and be given a home away from home. I am self-employed part-time and work predominantly from home. I have a flexible schedule and work around caring for my own dog and any that stay with me. I don’t often leave my dog but if I do it is only for short periods of time. I have a medium sized back-garden which is fully enclosed and secured by high fences, it is a mixture of lawn and decking which your dog will have full use of. I have pet beds and crates if needed or your dog can sleep on the bed or sofa alongside our resident dog.

“Lisa was so enthusiastic to take Cora out and I felt completely happy leaving her in her care for Cora’s very first walk with a new person ! Would highly recommend !”

“Anna has been walking Jerry for a couple of weeks now and she is absolutely brilliant with him. She’s always reliable and nothing is a problem for her. I am so happy we have found someone to walk him when we are unable to. 10/10”

About: I am a caring person that loves to give as much as attention to a dog as possible. I have been around so many in life and therefore have the confidence to approach any on the street for a stroke or cuddle. I am organised and like to stick to routines for myself or pets I look after. I am definitely an outdoors person but also can relax inside with a lovely cat when I am feeling in the mood for that on a rainy day or for an indoor cat to be loved. I have worked in a lot of customer service roles and therefore have the ability to deliver great experiences for any owner I connect with I have recently completed an Animal and Behaviour psychology course via Alison courses and learn't about various topics - communication, social structure within the animal kingdom, cognitive processes including memory, learning and problem solving for domesticated animals too. I am happy to evidence my certificate and course transcript for any owner and I am keen to do anything else which improves my skills and knowledge about animals in the future too. ** Please note - I am also fully registered on DBS on update service too". Any questions, just drop me a message Mike 😊 I am a general volunteer for a community theatre group (In another place) and a self-advocate for People first Merseyside so a lot of my voluntary work is split between those organisations that are very important to me in the week. I generally help In another place on Saturdays in the castle where games and shows happen until 3pm so my day is busy from 10am-3pm on most Saturdays. I can work my hours around my voluntary work or hikes during each day of the week unless there is something that is extremely important not to miss out during my advocacy work at People first. Church for me is attended on 1st or 3rd Sunday of the month as it's part of the open table network and therefore allows for Sunday pet sitting opportunities too I have a secure locking system on my door and a indoor camera which is good for looking at what's going on indoors as well as outdoors in the estate I live in. There is a beautiful canal nearby me and rimrose valley which has plenty of space for dogs to run about in. I like to keep my home as quiet as possible and don't like disturbances much from neighbours either so dogs or cats can relax easily when I am watching TV a low volume or reading a book in the evening in bed. I have very high standards and like to keep my flat as clean as possible through an organised system of tasks to complete each week. I don't have a lot of clutter around me and tend to keep floors as spacious as possible for me or animals too.

“Simone was absolutely wonderful with Leo today. She is incredibly patient, caring, and kind, and it is clear how much she genuinely loves working with dogs. Leo adores her and is always happy to see her, which gives us great confidence that he is in excellent hands. She does a fantastic job with his walks, ensuring he gets both exercise and attention while making the experience enjoyable for him. We are very grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend Simone to anyone who wants their dog to be in the trusted hands of a genuinely kind, caring, and dependable person.”

“Daniela was fantastic walking our Jack Russell (Holly), as well as topping up her food & water before leaving. Constantly kept in touch to let us know how Holly was doing too. Would highly recommend if anyone is looking for someone to look after their pet.”

About: I've had dogs most of my life, we recently lost my families 13 year old patterdale but luckily I've got 2 very energetic Show Cocker Spaniels to keep me busy. Finn (Blue Roan) is 5 and Reggie (Ginger ninja) is 3. They both went to Dogs Trust puppy classes as soon as they were old enough and I've kept up with this training. Reggie has been anxious since getting him with a lot of travel sickness too. I've slowly worked on his confidence and we actually made it to Wales in November without any issues! We love going on walks to the dog park and socialising, a quiet stroll on the canal or training in the garden. I also have a nephew (Archie - border collie) who I've looked after overnight every chance I got when he was younger, he's now 9 and struggling with his mobility so I'm well versed in looking after arthritic dogs who require medication and more mental stimulation. I'm currently working flexible remote hours as a Graphic designer so I can fit around your schedule and even work from your home if your dog needs more company. Hoping to transition into full-time dog walking / sitting Happy to follow your lead in terms of what training you follow and how you structure their day but can also play and teach them some fun things if you are ok with it.

About: I've had cats and dogs since I was just 1. I have always grown up and loved them unconditionally all my life. I treat every animal like family and as the friend that they are. Every animal has their own personality and I'd love to get to know your dog/cat better also 😊 I work full-time 3 days a week, on a 3 on 3 off basis. So I am available for bookings on my 3 days off work or at extra times throughout the year when I am on leave. Just enquire with a booking to see if I'm available 😊 I have a fur baby and cats of my own, that all love meeting new people. Which will give your little family member someone to have fun with if they board with me. If I am sitting in your own home, I have plenty of experience of caring for dogs and cats, as I've had them since a very young age continuously throughout my life. I treat every animal I meet as family and will give them all the best care and love that I can possibly offer.

About: With hands-on experience in both dog walking and positive reinforcement training, I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My mission is to make every walk a fun, safe, and enriching experience—and every training session a step toward better behavior and a stronger bond between dogs and their humans.Whether your dog needs a calm walk while you’re at work or support learning new skills, I’m here to help—with patience, consistency, and lots of love (and treats!). I love sitting for dogs or catd to get that extra, cosy bond, I treat every dog or cats like part of my family. Whether it’s for a weekend getaway or a daily visit, I provide a calm, caring, and safe environment where your dog feels right at home. I can fit one or two days a week to do, dog walking or dog sitting or popping in to check in on your fury friend With my two big XL American bullies they have a big garden and we take them out for a walk regularly, I will listen to every client how they would like me to look after their fur babies

About: No dog too big or small. I have lots of experience with all types of dogs. I’m the person that my dog owning friends call on and trust to look after their dogs. I live very close to Formby beach and would be love to take your pooch on a great day out. I am currently working from home so I am available almost all the time, I am very flexible and will always make your pet my priority. Your dogs will be with me 100% of time. I have a large grassy and fenced garden with plenty of space for your dogs to run around. I also live 2 minutes away from Formby beach/woods and spend most my dog walking time there.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my family and for the past 5 years I've been the person which they turn to when they need someone they can trust to care for their dogs. I've cared for a wide range of dogs, from small breeds like pugs and shih tzus to energetic border collies and larger boxer/bully crosses. This has provided me experience adapting to different personalities, energy levels and individual needs. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's taking them for a good walk, playing with them, keeping them company at home or simply giving them the attention they need. I'm happy to provide regular updates when watching you're furry friends, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy, safe and being well looked after. I've recently finished university and am currently waiting to start my graduate career, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availibility for dog care on weekdays, weekends and prolonged stays if required. Tuesdays from 5pm to 8pm is my only time I'm unavailible as I play football but other than that, I'm free to provide all the needs of your dog. I provide my care in the owner's home, where my aim is keeping your dog happy and comfortable in their normal routine. I'll follow any insturction around feeding, medication, exercise and any other requirements. I'll take the time to get to know you're dog and get to know their usual routine. Every dog is different, so I'm happy to give them plenty of attention and playtime or give them quiet time if needed. I'll treat your home with respect and leave it the same as I found it. I'll also provide you with pictures and updates to give you peace of mind your dog is well cared for.
