Dog Walking Streatham

About: I am a former teacher now working in tutoring and book publishing. I volunteer for two animal rescue charities, The Stray Cat Club and Protected Paws, driving them to vet appointments and their fur-ever homes. I have owned cats my whole life and currently have 3 - one senior, one mama cat and one baby! I’m experienced in feeding, grooming and changing litter. I have dealt with spicy cats, nervous cats and strays. At university, I also got into dog sitting. We would walk and work from client’s houses to take care of their dogs. I often dog sit for my dad and family friends and enjoy going for walks with the pups! I work from home flexibly twice a week but only need to go into work at 9:30 so have plenty of time for morning visits. I drive so am able to get around my local area with ease. I’m an early riser and late sleeper so can be flexible around your pet’s schedule. My pets are my pride and joy and want for nothing! Cat trees, fancy litter trays and raised bowls? Sorted. I know how it feels to want to go the extra mile for your furry friends and I’d take care of them as my own.

“Cooper seems to have enjoyed his first walk with Daiane. He looked really happy on the lovely pictures she provided! Daiane seems passionate and eager! She responded to messages well and was always in good contact throughout. I definitely will use her again!”

About: I grew up with pet dogs and cats and love being around animals. Due to work, I can’t currently have my own pets but am available to dog sit, walk and board on various days through the week. I work from home 3 days per week but have a flexible schedule that allows for plenty of attention and walks for your dog. Also happy to have overnight occasionally if needed. I live in a secure quiet flat with a small balcony but with plenty of communal garden space where dogs can run around. I am also very near several lovely parks and commons so your pet will get a good walk!

“Ellie has been very reliable and easy to deal with. She’s quick to respond, follows instructions carefully (even the slightly fussy ones!) and Oscar has taken to her well. It’s reassuring to know he’s well looked after, and I’d happily recommend her.”

“Aisha was reliable, kind and patient. We would definitely use her again. Thank you for taking such great care of Roo this week!”

“Ziggy loved being walked by Alex, she’s found herself an instant best friend. He listened and was patient with all my requests I had about Zig. He understood all her commands and all her mannerisms. I trusted Alex fully and will be sure to use him again! Thank you :)”

About: I grew up with plenty of pets at home, name it we likely had it, even ferrets. I've always been the go to person for friends and family pet care needs, from puppies to ageing dogs and cats. I'm very confident with pets and know they need to time and space sometimes and each have their own unique personalities and care requirements. I work part time Mon - Wed but predominantly work from home and can be quite flexible. I enjoy getting up for early morning walks, during lunch times and after work. Having just a 5min play or cuddle whilst working always helps the work day go quickly. I have a two bedroom flat which I share with my rescue cat Mimi and partner. Our flat has a good amount of space if the pet needs to be put in a crate. There is a private fenced garden. I also live close to lots of parks and green open space which is good for walks.

About: Whether your pet is a social butterfly, a professional napper, or the self-appointed ruler of the house, I'm always happy to meet them on their terms. I was lucky enough to spend 13 wonderful years with my own dog, so I know first-hand the love, laughter, and occasional chaos that comes with sharing life with a pet. While I'll always have a soft spot for dogs, if I’m being completely honest, my personality is pretty cat-like; chill, observant, respectful of personal space, and always up for a good nap or a spot in the sun. In a nutshell feed me and tell me I'm pretty, haha. Maybe that's why I have such a soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy earning the trust of even the most independent ones. Whether your pet loves long walks, needs a little extra patience while they warm up, or believes laps exist solely for their personal use, I'm happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. A bit more about me: wake up at around 4:45am can't figure out how to reset my internal clock (I've tried). You'll usually find me at the gym, cooking, eating or thinking about my next meal while watching tv, reading, or on a walk. I also know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets with someone else, I remember that feeling well. That's why I make it a point to send plenty of photos, little video updates, and check-ins, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing they're happy, comfortable, and in good hands while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I can work around their routine rather than trying to fit them into mine. For me, a few walks, some fresh air, and hanging out with a pet beats staring at a screen all day. I like getting to know each animal's personality, whether that's a dog who's determined to sniff every tree in the park or a cat who's happy to have a quiet companion nearby. Whatever makes them feel comfortable, I'm happy to go at their pace (with cuddles on offer whenever they're interested!). House Sitting & Boarding: A relaxed, safe environment where your pets can stick to their normal routines and feel totally comfortable. Drop-In Visits: Perfect for feedings, fresh water, litter box clean up, belly rubs, or a quick game of feather-wand/fetch. Dog Walking: Relaxed or energetic neighbourhood walks to stretch those legs and get some fresh air.

“Libby was great, she came early for Frodo’s first walk to ensure that she had all the details needed. I get a sense that she is very responsible and Frodo was very happy to go on his walk with her. Will definitely use again for both house sitting and walks, thanks Libby glad we found you.”

“Ssheila and Noah are great! They take LouLou out with Melo for a proper walk and run around, LouLou comes back shattered each time. They go above and beyond and are truly the best!”

“Very attentive to anxious small dogs, is very patient with reserved dogs and catches on to attitude changes promptly. I know my dog is in good hands!”

About: My husband and I have our own two-year-old schnoodle, I was a regular Borrow My Doggy borrower before getting her and I've had a family dog my whole life. I would love to meet yours! I work from home most of time so am free for full day care at my home or drop-ins/walks at lunchtimes, before/after work (timings flexible). I have a secure garden (tested by my own dog!) and happy for dogs to be on the furniture. My own dog is playful, friendly and always happy to have company.

“Della was able to step in at very short notice and help while I was unable to walk. She quickly built a rapport with Frankie and was very flexible. Thanks so much”

About: My dog journey began when working at a local community park cafe - welcoming the regulars and their dogs was the highlight of the day! I’ve regularly cared for my brother’s dog which has been a great joy. Maisie has kept me on my toes and I’ve deployed a warm, attentive and caring style to keep her safe and happy. I am currently on a career break so have plenty of time and flexibility during the week to take the best care of your dog - morning, afternoon or evening. My services are currently dog walking only for now, so I won’t be hosting any dogs at my home or staying at the dog owners home.

About: I have dogs in my life since I can remember and I love animals, I won't be many years old but I do love every pet. I have had to take care of dogs, cats or other types of animals because my family knows that I am very passionate about that and that I am sure that I will be with one of your animals. I study Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I may be available in the afternoon those days but the rest of the days I am full all day. I love spending time with the animals in the afternoon and seeing how they are so active at that time to play with them. I have a very large garden so you can run and with a super playful dog that will be with your pets super affectionate and happy to be with them. In your homes I will take care of your dogs or cats like kings so that they are super comfortable and as if they lived as one of their family

About: As a lifelong dog lover who’s grown up with dogs since childhood, I understand that your furry family member deserves the same love and attention they get at home. My Experience: - Current Dog Parent:Proud owner of Lucy, my beloved 5-year-old Jackapoo who I’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy - Lifelong Dog Lover: Grew up with 10 dogs over the years - golden retrievers and doodles - always having 2 companions at a time. - Puppy to Adult Care: Experienced with dogs at every life stage, from energetic puppies to calm, mature companions. My Home: Your dog will stay in my ground floor flat with a secure, enclosed garden - perfect for safe play and potty breaks. Lucy is well-socialised and loves meeting new friends, but I’m also happy to provide one-on-one attention if your pup prefers it. Please be aware that I also have a family at home, includes my husband and 2 teenage children (17 and 14) - if your dog is coming to my flat there could be 4 people plus Lucy, my dog, at home at any time. My Approach: Having trained Lucy from puppyhood, I understand the importance of maintaining routines and positive reinforcement. Your dog will receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll send regular updates so you can see how much fun your pup is having with us. I’m currently on a career break, which means I have excellent flexibility and availability to provide attentive, full-time care for your pet. This is the perfect time for me to dedicate myself to pet sitting and give your furry friend the attention they deserve. Current Availability: - Flexible daily schedule with plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship - Can accommodate various pickup/drop-off times to suit your needs Upcoming Schedule: - My schedule may change as I begin looking for a new job, but I’m committed to maintaining my pet sitting services and will update my availability accordingly - I’ll always provide advance notice of any schedule changes and will never leave you without reliable care My Commitment: I prioritise clear communication about my availability. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me - it’s something I’m passionate about, and I’ll always ensure your pet receives consistent, loving attention that fits around both our schedules.

Having raised Lucy from a puppy in my home, I understand exactly what it takes to create a secure, nurturing environment where dogs can thrive. In My Home: - Secure Environment: Ground floor flat with fully enclosed garden - no risk of escapes and safe outdoor access - Pet-Proofed Space: My home is already dog-ready with all hazards removed and pet-safe areas established - Supervised Socialisation: Lucy is well-trained and friendly, but I always supervise interactions to ensure both dogs are comfortable - Established Routines:Regular meal times, walks, and play sessions to maintain structure - Family: Husband and 2 teenage children (17 and 14) living at home.

I take time to learn your dog’s specific preferences, comfort zones, and any behavioral quirks to ensure they feel completely at home with us.

“Jessica is great with Nala. I feel totally worry free when I’m at work that she’s being very well taken care of. I was delighted when Jessica told me she’d even refilled Nala’s water bowl whilst I was at work.”

About: I had a family Labradoodle from the age of 15 who I adored, but also have experience looking after friends and family’s lovely dogs of all sizes! I spend most days working from home so would love some four-legged company and the ability to go out for nice long walks. I work full-time but quite flexibly so would be able to give a lot of care and attention to a dog during the work day. I’d also be able to get out either before work or during lunch for a long walk! I have a spacious flat and large fenced garden so lots of room for play. I’ve lived here over a year now but in that time have had three dogs stay with us more than once! I also live close to a large common, perfect for dog walks and exercise.
