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.

“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.”

About: Hi! I’m Mary 🐾 I’m a London-based dog lover who’d absolutely love to help take care of your four-legged friend! I currently work from home 2 days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog lots of attention, company and cuddles throughout the day. I’ve grown up with Black Labradors, so having a dog has always been a big part of my life. Since moving to London, I’ve really missed having a dog of my own, which is why I love having the opportunity to spend time with and look after other people’s pups! While living in London, I’ve regularly looked after my neighbours’ dogs, including a Cockapoo and a Dachshund. This has given me experience caring for different personalities, routines and energy levels, from walks and playtime to feeding and simply keeping them company. I’m caring, reliable and active, and I’ll always make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy and well looked after. I’m also very happy to follow their normal routine and any specific instructions you have. I know how daunting it can feel leaving your dog with someone new, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while they’re in my care. Your pup will get lots of love, attention and, of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶❤️ I’d love to meet you and your dog, so please feel free to get in touch! I’m in the office 3 flexible days a week (Tuesdays are mandatory office days). Otherwise I work from home and have weekends free. I go on lots of long walks so adding a dog to that would be no problem. I have a garden and am close to many big parks for long walks. I have a fenced in garden attached to my basement flat. It is away from main roads and surrounded by lovely families with children and pets. Being on one floor it’s easy to move around for older and smaller dogs.

“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: Previous experience caring for my friends/ partners dog’s while living with them, giving me hands-on experience with day-to-day dog care. I’ve also helped with basic training, teaching commands such as sit, paw, wait and ‘round and round’. I’m responsible, patient and attentive, and love keeping dogs happy through walks, play and unlimited affection. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I work from home 4/5 days during the week, normally in the office on a Tuesday but I can be flexible on this if needed - please just ask! This means I will be able to go for regular walks before, during lunch and after work to nearby parks to suit your dogs needs. I can also make myself available for weekends ahead of time so again - please just ask! I have a fenced garden with a patio and grass area so they will be free to enter in and out the house throughout their stay. With plenty of space for them inside to make themselves feel at home & relax.

“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: Growing up with dogs, I understand that they are a loved family member with unique needs. I look forward to being their best friend and carer. Working from home means I’m always around to keep your dog comfortable, whether that’s mealtimes, walks, or just curling up together on the couch. I live near several parks and love nothing more than a good walk (or multiple) followed by a relaxed evening in. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. My home is secure, comfortable, and set up to keep dogs relaxed, with space to relax or play. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you always know how they’re doing. You can trust that your dog will be treated with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

“Natasha was great with my senior dog Marley - she sent me lots of updates and was really communicative. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her in future!”

About: Hello! My name is Niamh and I live in SW London with my partner, Andy and our 2-year old Welsh Springer Spaniel, Murphy (he's the little red and white guy in my profile picture). Andy and I both grew up with dogs as kids and we're pretty easy going as owners- dogs are allowed on the furniture and upstairs etc. (provided they pay the cheese tax, of course). Murph usually spends his day curled up like a croissant or on neighbourhood watch from the back of the sofa while we work. We work from home most of the week and have Tooting Common right at the bottom of our road (60-second walk) so given we're in there every day, at least once per day, and our flat is quite spacious, we thought it would be nice for a furry pal to join us during the day, for a weekend, or simply for a walk on the Common. We take Murph out at lunch and play with him constantly throughout the day but thought a playmate would potentially be more fun for him (and them)! Murph is great with other dogs and has only every been playful and good-tempered towards them. :) I work full-time, often from home and flexibly. I could look after your pet for a full day, evening, for a full week or weekend... and they would have a furry playmate! I live in an upstairs flat over 2.5 floors, lots of comfy spots for your dog to have a snooze and we have Tooting Common at the bottom of our road- we're in there every day!

“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!”

“Julia is so lovely and our dog Poppy seems to think so too. She communicates promptly and is reliable, would definitely recommend her services to anyone”

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. Creating a Safe & Loving Environment: Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. 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. Trust & Communication: - Regular Updates:Photo and text updates throughout the day so you always know how your pet is doing - Emergency Preparedness: Local vet contact information readily available, and I’ll contact you immediately if any concerns arise - Respect for Routines: I’ll follow your pet’s specific feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements - Key Security: Your keys and personal information are kept completely secure My Approach: Having trained Lucy and grown up with multiple dogs, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. 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.

“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”

“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: 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.

“Chloe was wonderful with our new Greyhound who can be quite nervous. Really accommodating and even offered us a free Meet and Greet before we booked; I would highly recommend and will be booking again!”
