Dog Walking in Stratford-on-Avon

“Holly is great! Our Labrador took to her straight away and it was obvious that Holly loved our Labrador too! Peace of mind that our lovely fur baby is in loving capable hands. Holly has grown up with dogs and has a lot of experience with all dogs but it’s good to know she has experience with Labradors too so a bonus!”

About: Hi, I’m Ava. A friendly and reliable pet sitter and dog walker based in Stratford-upon-Avon. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities, whether that’s long walks with energetic dogs or quiet cuddles with cats. I’ve spent 4 years volunteering with The Cinnamon Trust, helping care for and walk dogs for people who needed extra support. While I was at university, for 2 years I also looked after and boarded dogs for owners when they were away, so I’m very used to making pets feel comfortable and loved in my care. Whether you’re going away, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’d love to help. I offer pet sitting (both cats and dogs) and dog walking. I’ll always make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care, just like they would at home. Feel free to message me if you’d like to chat or ask any questions. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I’m able to provide full-time care and supervision, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible with schedules and happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. A typical day includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and lots of affection and interaction. I also make time for rest and quiet time so pets can feel relaxed and at home. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to fit their personality and needs. I truly love animals and enjoy spending quality time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the stay for peace of mind. 4 years volunteering with The Cinnamon Trust 2 years experience of dog boarding during university Experienced with dog walking & pet care Will be able to drive dog(s) to dog park (if required)

“Our dog Ernie has loved his walks with Annie. Annie is very easy to plan walks with and is very responsive with updates and messages. It's been a really easy process to book in the walks and hand him over to Annie on the day for his walk. I would definitely recommend Annie and will be booking again!”

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.

About: Hi I'm Saskia! I'm currently a 2nd year veterinary student at the University of Liverpool. Since I'm renting and can't have pets of my own at the moment, I'm looking to fill that dog or cat shaped hole in my life by caring for yours. When I'm not studying, I'm usually training for my next triathlon, so if you have a high-energy breed that loves a long walk, I'm your person. However, I'm just as happy to provide a call environment and plenty of study break cuddles for senior pets or those who prefer a calm environment. Understanding that our pets our important members of our families, I am conscious to check-in often with photos, videos and updates to ease anxiety. For dog walking: After we exchange information about your dog and their specific walking needs: duration, behaviour, socialisation etc. I will come and meet your dog ensuring we are the right match. Then we will head out to explore and sniff! I will take photos and videos for you and give tell you all about how we are getting on. For pet sitting: After we exchange information about your dog/cat, your home and their specific needs: feeding, behaviour, walking etc. I will come and meet you and your dog/cat, to ensure we are a good match. Most likely we will start the day with a morning walk after breakfast. During the day I will most likely be studying in your home, with breaks for play-time, toileting and cuddles. I rarely will leave the house for more than max. 2hrs at a time to pop to the shops, to go to the gym, or for lectures. In the evening we will go on another walk, followed by dinner and settling in for the night. For cat drop-ins: I am available for twice daily visits (morning and evening) to ensure your cat's feeding schedule remains consistent. When I am a guest in your home, my priority is maintaining a stress-free, secure and loving environment for your pet. I follow your pets existing schedule, whether it's feeding times, a particular walking route or a no-sofa rule. I'm also extremely diligent when it comes to home security and will ensure all doors and gates are double-checked and I never leave keys in visible places. I treat your home with care, ensuring you return to a clean, tidy house and an happy, relaxed pet.

About: I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I did grooming for guide dogs and completed my level 2 and 3 in dog grooming. I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and owned many different types of animals. I have my own dog Mia and she’s a chiweenie (chihuahua x dachshund) and she loves other dogs. I have trained her and involved her in puppy training classes to maintain toilet training and recall 🐾. I also have a dog called Bandit and he’s also very very friendly with other dogs. He knows to respect space and boundaries of other dogs as he is around an older rescue daily. I have owned and taken care of dogs and animals my entire life and have a true passion for animals of all sizes 🐾. I’d love to take care of your pet for you, and can guarantee any pet in my care is treated as one of the family 🐾🌸. I have lots of time as I want to go into dog grooming/ care full time. I previously have been completing my grooming qualifications which I have now completed. I offer all my attention and time ensuring the dogs feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Making sure there’s a bond built along with trust especially during the first time meeting.

About: I have grown up with pets and have had our lovely little housecat Saffy for fourteen years, and our gorgeous cockapoo Pip for six years. I also have a ten year old daughter and a four year old son. Our house is perfect for a dog looking for lots of cuddles and attention - we have lots of space and a large secure garden. We are also lucky enough to have a fabulous private walk on our doorstep. I am here 24/7 to look after everyone. This also means that I can keep to your dog’s preferred schedule (if there is one!). I have a large secure garden to run around in and love going for walks on the farm next door. Our dog Pip is a lovely, excitable Cockapoo who loves to play and run around but is equally as happy cuddling on the sofa while we watch a film. He has been neutered.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages . I’ve rescued and cared for dogs, including my own rescue dog, and have a deep understanding of their needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, ensuring their safety and happiness. I am passionate about animals, patient, and attentive, offering reliable and compassionate care for every dog I believe that looking after pets fits perfectly into my daily life. At the moment, I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to take dogs for walks, care for them, and play with them. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I am flexible enough to meet their needs throughout the day. I currently do not have a fenced garden, but my primary focus is on taking dogs out for enjoyable and safe walks in the fresh air. I ensure that they get the exercise, care, and attention they need during our time together. I am attentive to their safety, keeping them on a lead when necessary, and always following the owner’s instructions regarding their routine and preferences.

“I can thoroughly recommend Michael as a dog walker. I was worried that our greyhound wouldn't go on a walk with someone he had only been introduced to once but he happily went with Mikey - a measure of his affinity and confidence with dogs. He's reliable and friendly and I couldn't ask for a better experience. I absolutely trust Michael with my dog.”

About: I have grown up with two cats, looking after them and being close with them my whole life; alongside this I have spent time volunteering in a cattery, cleaning up after cats, caring for them, feeding them and creating a positive environment. I have also spent time looking after family and friends dogs, taking them on walks and building a loving, close relationship with them. I’m currently doing a gap year after finishing A-Levels before committing to a future role. I have a job which is flexible and time can be booked off with prior notice to take care of your pets! I love animals and am always happy to make time for our special furry friends. I like to get to know each pet individually to build a close bond with them and grow awareness of their individual needs and requirements, frequently checking if they need food, water or to be outside for a bit; also giving them cuddles if they are sleepy and allowing them to rest.

“Katie took Frankie out for a walk, he had to be encouraged as he hates the rain! They got on really well and happy that Katie can deal with Frankie’s little quirks.”

About: I have +5 years of experience with dog/cat sitting and providing daycare. I make sure my home is a place where every pet feels loved and safe. Skilled in handling various needs including feeding, exercising, washing and administering medication. I provide care for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. I am dedicated to maintaining routines and preferences unique to each pet, ensuring a harmonious and enjoyable stay. I ensure undivided attention and personalised care by only accepting pets from one household at a time. As full time sitter, I am available every day of the week (subject to my booking schedule), ensuring I can adjust my time to your pet's individual needs. I make sure I get all relevant information regarding your pet, so the routine is not disturbed, keeping feeding timings and providing walks on your preferred timings and lengths. I live in a spacious two-bedroom house with fenced garden, as well easy access to parks. I own a car, and with your agreement, I am able to take your dog for longer outside trips in nature.

About: As well as having my own dogs, I volunteered for the Assistant Dogs Charity ‘Dogs for Good” as a boarder. These beautiful dogs came to stay for 1 week or for up to 3 months, depending on circumstances. We ended up adopting one of them, Harley, who was a joy. I also volunteered for The Dogs Trust. Duties included walking, brushing, cuddling, feeding. This has given me experience with pretty much every breed and every Heinz 59 of all ages. I am self employed as a dog cartoonist. So where I draw is irrelevant! So when your dog(s) are having a snooze, I will quietly get on with my drawings. Just as I did when looking after the many Dogs for Good labs, I will follow your instructions relating to your dog(s) health and safety, insuring their routine doesn’t go off course.

“Olivia was great! Thank you!”

About: I have grown up with dogs since 1 years old. I have had boxers my whole life, and I currently have a 7 year old boxer called Lola ❤️ so I am more comfortable and experienced with larger breeds! We love our walks with lots of things for her to sniff and mark as her territory! 😃 I currently work full time Mon-Fri 9-5 so can fit in walks either before or after my shift. I work from home 3 days a week so I can also pop in on my lunch breaks. I live at home with my family, my dog, and my cat. Taking care of them is a daily ritual of mine including feeding, playing, and walking. My dog is reactive toward other dogs so I would not introduce mine to yours for safety and I keep her on a short lead unless I can let her off.
