About: “Sniff, Explore, Exercise — Walks Tailored to Your Dog’s World.” Follow Their Nose Dog Walking I’ve spent 22 years caring for my own dogs, from raising my first boy from an eight‑week‑old puppy to supporting him through heart problems and dementia until he passed peacefully at 17. My second dog Marvin was diagnosed with a liver shunt and complex health needs two years ago and I have cared for him during his surgery and healing, teaching me the importance of patience, gentle enrichment, and adapting walks to suit a dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing. These experiences shaped my passion for supporting senior dogs, nervous dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs who have experienced trauma. I understand how much they benefit from calm handling, predictable routines, and walks that allow them to feel safe and in control. I’ve also volunteered at Raystede Animal Welfare centre, which strengthened my commitment to compassionate, ethical care and deepened my understanding of how different dogs communicate stress, curiosity, and comfort. My Approach I’m happy to walk all dogs, including those who simply need a good exercise walk. But my specialist focus is enrichment‑led sniff walks, backed by research showing that sniffing reduces stress, boosts confidence, and provides powerful mental and physical stimulation. Every walk is tailored to the dog in front of me, whether they need a brisk stretch, a slow confidence‑building sniffari adventure, or a gentle senior‑friendly outing. What I Offer A calm, patient, understanding approach Experience with senior, anxious, reactive, and medically complex dogs Exercise walks for all breeds and energy levels Specialist sniff walks that support emotional wellbeing Walks designed around enrichment, exploration, and choice Follow Their Nose Dog Walking is built on one belief: Dogs thrive when we let them be dogs—sniffing, exploring, and experiencing the world at their own pace. Completed Pet First Aid L2 (VTQ) Training with ProTrainings.UK renewal date 5 July 2029. Caring is at the heart of everything I do. I work Monday to Thursday for an older people’s charity, so empathy, patience and support are already part of my daily life. Pet care naturally fits alongside this — it’s something I genuinely love, not something I squeeze in. I offer dog walking 6.30pm–10pm Monday to Thursday, which is perfect for owners who work late, need evening support, or want their dog to have a calming enrichment walk before bedtime. I’m also fully available all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving clients plenty of flexibility for regular walks, weekend adventures, or last‑minute bookings. My own 22 years of caring for dogs with complex needs has shaped how I work: calmly, gently and with a deep understanding of senior dogs, nervous dogs and those who need a little extra patience. Whether it’s an energetic dog needing exercise or a sensitive dog needing a slow, sniff‑led walk, I build my routine around what helps them feel safe, stimulated and happy. Pet care isn’t an add‑on to my week — it’s a natural extension of who I am and the work I’ve always done: supporting others with compassion and consistency. I prioritise safety, calm handling and consistency in every service I offer. For dog walking, I use secure equipment, choose safe routes and tailor the pace to each dog’s needs whether that’s a brisk exercise walk or a gentle, enrichment‑led sniff walk. For pet sitting in an owner’s home, I follow the dog’s usual routine to keep them settled and stress‑free, treating both the home and the pet with the same care I give my own. My friendly Jack Russell can also join walks if a dog would benefit from a confident, sociable companion always optional and based on what suits each individual dog.

About: Hi, I’m a friendly dog lover and I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your dog. I had a beautiful Japanese Akita who sadly passed away from cancer, so dogs have a very special place in my heart. I’ll treat your dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently in a peroid of changing jobs where I have more time before starting my new position. Therefore, I have time where I would like to spend time looking after dogs, somethingbI am very passionate of after having my own. I have a fenced up large size garden, where you furry friend can roam around, with lots of nearby country walks for longer walks. I can also come to you if it is more suitable for you and your dog.

About: I have experienced with both the young and the old and happy to give medicine as required. I’m calm and caring around different natured animals My children are now grown up, giving me more time. My love for animals, allows me to help others with their animals. I have been spending time, house-sitting, as we have not currently got a dog or cat (for the first time in a very long time) and enjoying the travels to do so.. Therefore, I plan to continue, pet/housesitting, before committing ourselves to rescuing again in the future. I have experienced pets are far more settled in their own environment, therefore, I feel it’s important, for me to fit in with their needs. It depends on the owners requests, as depending on the dog or cats age and needs, I am happy to take them out locally or in my car. I am happy in the rain and love to investigate new areas and walks.

About: I’ve always been a massive animal lover. I donate to charities for animals and liked doing volunteer work with animals whilst studying previously. I’ve managed to save and return lost dogs to their owners throughout my experience of volunteering. I like to try and keep things cheap and affordable for families looking to book my services as I know financially life can become stressful! Please do not hesitate to ask for lower prices, I’m willing to accept offers!☺️I’m currently working on a zero hour contract so I have flexibility for your pets. On days of working, I can get up early to ensure your pet has been out for a morning walk and to the toilet. I have a furbo so I can watch your pets whilst at work, and I do 6 hour days at most so your animals will not be left too long. Water and food always put down with plenty of toys! I will set up a cozy corner for your animal to rest, have plenty of treats and calming scents at the ready for any anxious ones! Always happy to have lots of cuddles and walks to let off energy.

Nothing is 'too much' to ask when it comes to achieving your complete peace of mind. Be as picky as you like. I am here for YOU! In regards to safety, trust and environment. As sitters we know that some pet parents may want cameras inside or outside the house. While I have no issue with this, I do require for that they be disclosed and depending on their location, disconnected during the sit. I've experienced cameras in bathrooms before and noone wants to see that! 😆

Taking care of dogs is the best job in the world! I've loved working on Rover for the opportunity to take care of the amazing dogs in Sussex. I am a former President of the University of Sussex Dog Walking Society and through this, I had the chance to interact with owners and fellow walkers to gain a substantial knowledge of dog care and dog breed information. I have taken care of a variety of dogs; big and small, young and old, abled and disabled so I have no issue taking care of any type of dog. I am trained in dog first aid training so you don't have to worry about any issue that may arise. Whilst working in the University of Sussex Dog Walking Society, I look after a rescue dog named Maggie and her sister Millie . They have taught me so much about dog care and the love that I have for dogs and have thus inspired me to help out other dog owners in caring for their dogs when they need it. •Please be aware that 15% of payments goes to Rover to cover ongoing support, educational opportunities, and promotion of services. Therefore, my rates are: House Sitting - £21.25 + £3.75 to Rover = £25 Dog Walking – £12.75 + £2.25 to Rover = £15 Drop-In Visits - £10.20 + £1.80 to Rover = £12 Thank you for your understanding! • Walks last for 30 minutes unless the 60 minute supplement is added by the owner.

I also choose to take care of dogs from one household at a time so that I can invest my full energy towards those dogs. I am a teacher so can only offer dog sitting, walking and drop-in visits services on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I also recommend a meet and greet at least one week before your booking.

About: I’ve grown up with my German shepherd, Juno, who’s been my companion through everything from beach trips to snowy adventures. Now that she’s older, I’ve become familiar with giving her the daily medication she needs. Juno’s not great with other dogs, which has given me a lot of experience handling different types of dog behaviors, especially when it comes to bigger or more reactive dogs. I’ve always had a love for walking dogs and exploring new areas with them. I’m confident with any type of dog, no matter the size or temperament. I know how important pets are to their families, and I’d take care of yours like they were my own. Experienced, reliable, and passionate about dogs. Back in the U.S., I cared for my own German Shepherd, Juno, so I know how important trust and quality care are. Whether it's an energizing walk or a relaxed stroll, I provide premium care tailored to your dog's needs. Safety, trust, and quality care are my priorities.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I am currently doing a dog grooming course to learn more about dog and to spend even more time with them I’m currently working full time, but I want to start doing dog grooming and walking full time as I have always loved the idea of this. Eventually you should be about to hire me any time and any day When walking they will only walk on the path side not closes to the road this is important so there’s no chance of the dog getting to close to cars
