Dog Walking in Stratford-on-Avon

About: Hi there! I’m a cat mum and a big animal lover. Back in Turkey, I used to care for stray cats and dogs in my neighbourhood. The cat I live with now was once abandoned — now she’s a full member of the family. I know how sensitive and unique cats can be. I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for them - especially when their humans are away. After all, we all know they’re the ones truly in charge! :) I get along well with dogs too. I’ve looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs, and I always try to follow their routines. I enjoy giving them attention, playing games, going for walks, and even running together if they’re up for it! If you’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and caring to look after your furry friend, I’d love to meet them! I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, dog walks, and weekend house sittings — whenever you need someone to care for your furry friend! I need to give it some time to your pet get to know me and trust me. After that, it will be easier. First, I will play games and get it used to me, and then I will take care of your pet with great care.

“Absolutely brilliant, they both came home shattered so will definitely sleep well. Kept updated with lovely photos and got to make new friends. Definitely booking again, excellent service thank you so much”

About: Hi! Thanks for taking a look at my Profile. I’m Lucy, an ED nurse and live in Stratford with my partner Tom. We are both dog lovers and have grown up in households full of dogs amongst other animals. I work shift work so am always around on my days off to look after your pets, Tom works from home so rest assured your pets will not be left longer than a quick trip to the shops. We have grown up with large and small dogs and are comfortable with looking after all breads. We enjoy walk around to local area and finding new places to explore. I work long days 3 days a week, meaning I am fully available on my days off. I also self roster so can adapt rotas to be off if boarding is required for specific dates. Our property is fully secured with a fenced back garden allowing your dog to fully roam as they please. Any dogs under my care are treated as they are my own.

“Thanks Ellie the dogs ? were very happy”

About: I’ve built a reputation for being calm, dependable, and genuinely loving when it comes to caring for dogs. I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, happy. Whether it’s daily walks, or sticking to their routine, I treat every dog like my own. You can relax knowing your four-legged friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently taking time out of work, so pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I’m very flexible and can give your dog all the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime in their homes, I’m able to create a routine that suits your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they are happy, well-cared for, and loved at all times. I will make sure your dog is safe, relaxed, happy and calm when house sitting, on a dog walk or boarding/daycare with myself. I will always put your dogs needs first.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, growing up with rescue cats and then I got my first dog, a Wheaten Terrier, when I was a teenager. When I bought my first home I knew I wanted a dog and in the beginning of 2023 we brought home our beagle, Woody. He’s taught me so much about puppy care, high energy and scent dogs and has given me a really solid foundation for looking after breeds people usually consider more “hard work” or “high maintenance”. Beagles are notoriously stubborn and he definitely wasn’t easy to raise, but they absolutely reward you for your efforts and now he’s such a happy, loving, loyal boy who just loves life. He loves being around people and other dogs so after using this app a few times myself I thought it’d be perfect to offer these services myself. I work a typical 9-5 office job but I’m very lucky that I have flexibility with my working from home days, so I can move my work from home days to accommodate looking after other dogs. My garden is fully secure so no risk of them being able to escape. Woody is very friendly but equally very respectful and chilled once the excitement of meeting a new friend wears off. We do have a cat so ideally any dogs I care for need to be okay around him, however we have looked after friends’ dogs who don’t get on with cats and if we are caring for a dog just for the day/a few hours then our cat generally just stays outside and out the way for the day.

“Deborah responded very quickly to my enquiry, followed with a great meet & greet with my dog Tumble. I received a message when she arrived at our home and pictures of Tumble enjoying a lovely long walk. Deborah washed Tumbles muddy paws and fed her as we arranged. Thank you from us both! 🐾🐾”

About: Hello! My name is Maya, and I am an experienced and passionate dog walker and pet sitter. At 18 years old, I have a lifelong love for dogs and enjoy spending quality time with them both indoors and outdoors. I share my home with two black Labradors — one energetic 1-year-old and one gentle, easygoing 9-year-old. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience in meeting the needs of dogs at different life stages. I’ve learned how to manage high-energy play, ensure safe socialization, and provide tailored care for senior dogs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have walked and looked after dogs for friends and family while they’re at work. I also have experience in puppy training, having successfully trained my own dog. During my animal care studies, I completed an assignment to train my pup to touch my hand with her nose — a skill that helped with her focus and behavior around other dogs. For the past two years, I’ve studied animal behavior and husbandry, deepening my understanding of canine needs, including how to identify and manage stress or anxiety in dogs. My Services Safe and engaging dog walks Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water and safe treats provided during walks Tailored care for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors Willing to drive to you if within a reasonable distance My goal is to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well-exercised while giving you peace of mind that they’re in caring hands. I currently work part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to care for and walk your dogs. As I primarily work weekends and occasional weekdays, I am able to arrange my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I own a friendly female black Labrador who loves to play and socialize with other dogs. Caring for and training her has given me valuable hands-on experience in dog handling and behavior. This has also allowed me to enjoy regular, long walks that are both stimulating for the dogs and rewarding for me.

About: We have both grown up with dogs all of our lives, both rescue dogs and puppies. Very experienced with a variety of breeds including spaniels and collies. We have both rejoined the emergency services in Warwickshire and are currently training 8-4 Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday off. When shift work commences in the new year, we will have even more availability. We can help after work in the week and any weekend! We have a spacious home with a fenced garden. We will respect your boundaries of what your dog does in your own home and mirror it in ours.

“Nancy had a lovely walk with Ali and she’s looking forward to her next one soon !”

About: I have a lot of experience in working with animals as i worked with my mum at her business in dog walking/doggy play group and dog grooming. I grew up going to help her at work learning a lot about different dogs and breeds and requirements. I spent every weekend, school holiday and any time off work I could get to help out as I enjoyed it a lot. My aunt has a farm and every year I go stay on it, I have helped rescue dogs and administer medication to a variety of different breeds and needs. I currently work full time, but do have Fridays off. I’m looking for part time work so I can focus more on animals and pet care or a remote job where I can tailor the hours around pet care. I will care for pets in the owners home. This is as I have a cat and a dog at my home currently and can’t risk any arguments

“Natalie organised a meet and greet before the walk to get to know Luna. She was lovely and Luna felt at ease straight away. She has lovely long walks and comes back super excited and happy. I would recommend Natalie she is always on time and very professional and writes a detailed report of the walk every time.”
