Dog Walking Stebbing

About: I have had an array of different animals for around 40 years & soley cared for them (Dogs / Cats / Rabbits / Guinea pigs / Hamsters). I absolutely love animals, especially dogs! Hi, I’m Sue. I work part time & recently lost my 16 year old Westie cross who I absolutely adored. I am not ready to commit to getting another one yet, but do really miss having a little furry friend to take out on a nice walk! I am able to look after your pets at my home or yours, I have a fenced secure garden so your pets will be safe!

“Excellent with Betty and definitely trust worthy. Never any issues and all goes to plan. I can book and know for sure Betty will be taken care of.”

About: I have several years of professional house and pet sitting experience, built up through Trusted Housesitters, where I've earned over 30 five-star reviews. Over that time I've cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments — from small, anxious dogs who need gentle handling and regular medication, to big softies who just need reassurance during thunderstorms. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's routine and personality, and I know how important it is for owners to feel genuinely at ease when they're away. Whether your dog needs calm, patient company or an energetic companion for walks, I'll make sure they're happy, safe and well looked after. Your home will be treated with the same respect and care as my own. I'm currently on a career break from Finance so I can happily make time to spend with any dog in my care. My days are flexible, which means walks, feeding and any care routines can fit around what your dog is used to rather than what suits me; whether that's a long walk or a day lounging on the sofa in their safe space. Over many sits I've encountered all sorts of dogs and learned to read what each one needs. From small rescues who are usually nervous around men and just need time and calmness, to mischievous Spaniels who will seek out their favourite muddy puddle given half the chance. I take each dog's individual needs seriously, whether that's sticking to a familiar routine, administering medication, or simply knowing when to give a dog space and when they just want company. In a pet owner's home I treat everything with care and respect, and I'm always happy to follow whatever routines and house rules the owner has in place.

“Poppy was fantastic with both me and my dogs, so easy going and friendly which I loved and you can see she loves dogs and dog walking , the whole process was brilliant from meeting her and keeping in contact while I was away on holiday and knowing my dogs were in great hands, I was kept updated daily and sent pictures which was so lovely x I will 100% be asking Poppy again to look after my dogs, thank you Poppy xx”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have had owned them and trained them from puppies. I currently share 3 dogs with my family aged 9 months, 6 years old and 10 years old. I am used to caring for a range of ages and energies. I also have experience of caring for a variety of breeds and catering to their individual needs. I am also currently completing a course on dog behaviour, first aid and day care/ boarding needs. I am a teacher so I am available during school holidays and weekends. Dogs in my care get at least 2 walks a day and lots of play time. My partner works shifts so there is always someone home to spend time, give lots of love and care to your dog. With Stansted airport only 5 minutes away! You can drop your dog off on route to the airport or make use of my available parking space at an extra charge whilst you’re away. I have a very good size, fenced garden and I share 3 friendly medium sized dogs with my family who can keep your dog company. I can also crate your dog if that’s their normal routine. I have the flitch walk and fields on my doorstep for us all to enjoy! I am happy to alter my day to suit your fur babies routine.

About: We have an indoor cat (eight) and a Labrador (two) so have reasonable experience. We spend a lot of time with the pets, playing, training and instilling good habits. Our house is fairly pet proofed with stair gates to give the cat his own space away from the dog and minimal clutter to remove temptation for the dog to eat things she shouldn’t. We both work full time but there is someone home at least 4 days out of 5. We take our lab out twice a day, wind, rain or shine for approx 45 minutes each time. Our house is reasonably dog friendly with minimal clutter and stair gates to give the cat some personal space. We have a medium sized, fenced garden for plenty of play time in between walks.

About: My Golden oldie loves a bit of canine company. She is happy to show company her favourite walks & sniffs as well as sharing her owners care & cuddles. We have experience with all sorts of wagging tails from poms to labs . We also have doggy cam to keep an eye on guests I’m now retired so can be around any time to look after your dog. I do like to go to gym/pool 3 mornings a week but am always back for lunchtime. I’m around all weekend apart from tennis Sunday morning. We walk every morning and evening with various routes across tracks & fields close by. My old Goldie is very easy going and will be excellent company for your pet. Our garden is fenced & secured with padlocked gates top & bottom so we can easily get out for “business “ safely. No dogs are allowed upstairs but otherwise have the downstairs space and plenty if room to be together or further apart if thats what they choose.

“Bethany came and collected cooper from my office, was very easy to deal with and most importantly cooper like her, we will now have weekly walks and cooper will get more and more comfortable with Bethany”

About: Hi, I'm Hannah - a freelance arts manager and pet sitter. I'm a huge animal lover, having owned and cared for over 30 pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, fish - and one slightly grumpy terrapin! My freelance work means I am very flexible and can be home for most of the day to keep your pet company. I've cared for animals of all sizes and dispositions from nervous kittens to excitable labradors and pets in my care get their walkies or play every day without fail, rain or shine, and all the care and attention they would be accustomed to with plenty of cuddles, brushing (if they like those things) and of course, approved treats. My family pets were often older rescues with difficult pasts and nervous when they first came to us, so I'm used to catering to those sorts of needs in an animal in terms of appropriate levels of exercise and handling, giving medication, providing lots of reassurance and affection and just letting them feel comfortable, safe and to get to you know you at their own pace. Puppies and kittens are no problem either though, and I'm happy to continue any training you may be doing with them. When visiting pets in their own homes my aim is to make them feel comfortable and secure, including having them sleep in with me if allowed, and will do either leashed walks or dog park visits - whatever they are used to. If I have another local dog walking appointment during my stay and your dog is good around other dogs, they will get to come along too and have bonus walkies! As I'm home the majority of the day, pee breaks can be regular and I'm happy to give medication, food and water etc. as needed, whether doing daily drop-ins or longer term housesitting. I have a very flexible schedule and fit in admin work from home around pet-sitting. Saturday late afternoons - evenings are my only inflexible time due to work commitments, but I am happy to take longer housesits incorporating a Saturday if the pet can be left for 6 hours or there is a temporary companion such as a family member or neighbour who can cover that time. When staying in an owner's home, I follow the pet's normal feeding and walking/playtime routine so that they feel safe and settled. I also maintain any house rules set by the owner (whether this is 'no pets on the furniture', or a requirement for the pet to sleep in my room). I minimise the need to be away from the house during the day (unless the pet is used to this and it's considered better for their routine to continue the pattern), and never leave a pet alone overnight.

About: My name is Matilde and I am the biggest animal lover you could ever find. I have grown up with pets - mostly cats and dog, horses, chicken, rabbits (and more!). My fondest childhood memories are the days I spent at my grandma's farm, helping her with her animals. I have had cats and dogs all my life; they have been my best and most loyal friends. I have been a sitter for friends and colleagues, and I have always had satisfied customers! I am reliable, trustworthy, and I will truly commit to taking care of your pet(s)!

About: Any pet in my care is always treated with the love and attention as if it were my own. I have a love of animals and have always had them in the home from a very young age. I've had experience walking both larger and smaller dogs and have had to train them through the difficult "puppy phase", giving me a good sense of how best to deal with tricky situations Im not able to have a pet of my own at the moment, so when I am able to, I love to spend time looking after other people's furbabies to give them the extra bit of love they all deserve. As I will be in your pets own environment, I would be keeping them safe whilst they enjoy their own comforts. When we go out for walks, dogs will always be kept on the lead and under supervision unless you have any specific instructions to better suit your pups needs

“We have only just started using Lisa for occasional dog walking. She is a very kind, caring person and clearly loves dogs! We will definitely use her again in future as she is reliable, flexible and very understanding with the dogs she cares for.”

I am available some evenings after work at 5pm and I am available at weekends. I love all dogs and other small animals. I would prefer to dogsit at the owners home (s) if possible.

About: Pet Care Experience: My partner and I have extensive experience in veterinary care. I have worked as an emergency vet nursing assistant and student veterinary nurse, while my partner is a qualified veterinarian. We have encountered and worked with a wide variety of animals, and are adept at providing first aid if ever needed. While we love our current jobs, we are particularly passionate about working with animals and would like to extend this passion to our home life. In addition to our professional experience, we currently foster small breed dogs, including pugs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshunds, and others. We also have our own dog, a female pug named Olive, who was originally a foster dog but has become a permanent member of our family due to our deep affection for her. Therefore, any dogs that stay with us must be dog-friendly as Olive will be helping us insure you have a tired pooch. Schedule: I work part time as an evening vet nursing assistant at an emergency veterinary clinic on a one-week-on, one-week-off basis. During my week off, I provide doggy day care and boarding, which is already scheduled in my diary. My partner, who is a qualified veterinarian, works during the day at a veterinary clinic from Monday to Friday. We are open to caring for pets with medical needs, such as diabetes. Your furry friend will be treated with the same care and attention as our own pets. They will have free range of the house, including the bed, sofa, and garden. Our 4-bedroom home is just a 4-minute drive from the Cotswolds, providing plenty of opportunities for scenic walks. For less mobile dogs, there is a playing field a 9-minute walk (2-minute drive) from our house. We generally keep dogs on a leash for safety, however, we can accommodate off leash time in some enclosed dog-friendly fields nearby upon request.

“Sonny was all tail wags after his walk with Sarah! She was prompt, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Sonny took to her immediately and couldn’t wait to head out again—which says everything. It’s such a comfort knowing he’s in caring, capable hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again.”
