Dog Walking Stroud

About: We have been a family complete with dogs until May 2025. We miss the companion & I want to offer love & joy for other pets into our life's in our safe space of home. I have raised a larger Doberman & a springer in the last 20+ years. I have also been raised with other breads such as Golden Labrador, German shepherd, Staffies, Jack Russell’s & pugs. Each of our family pets attended puppy school & was crate trained. Both really good & gentle whilst supervised at all times around babies, children, adults & other dogs. Due to old age & health conditions meant we worked hard as a family to offer our pets the best loving health care in the home to meet their fitness needs & abilities keeping them stimulated & safe in all stages of life. When needed we sought guidance from professionals to ensure the best care & quality of life was provided to our fur babies. This allowed us to be in tune with our pets likes & dislikes, recall & training when off lead along with understanding other ways to appropriately stimulate love & nurture them. Away from the home we created many healthy experiences for them to mix with other pets & various breads, on beach & woodland adventures. Our home was a fun filled exciting space with varied pet characteristics which we miss. Days out exploring, garden water play, grooming & snuggles by the fire have brought much joy to our lives. This is what I offer for your pets when in our home, when under my supervision as the sole care person responsible for your pet when boarding with me. I work from home & can break to walk or step into the garden every 2hrs. The pets can be sat in my presence whilst working & can also be seen with free flow in & out of the property & garden in appropriate weather. I offer great flexibility in boarding 24/7. Last minute care & scheduled bookings are both welcome. I would be able to offer 3pets from the same home at any one time. I am flexible to offer both lead & if well trained with good recall off lead walks twice a day AM & PM. Our home is big & spacious with open living space onto a sundeck, a large front & rear garden fully enclosed for free play, stimulating controlled play, challenges & snoozing in the beautiful South west facing garden after long woodland walks in & around the Cotswold way. My previous springer spaniel was an anxious dog due to an early operation limiting puppy engagement. He required lots of carefully managed rehabilitation & gradual social interaction in his recovery. During this time I learnt to administer medication, implement training, stimulate & exercise him. All to suit his age, pace & needs to make an amazing full recovery to be a super fit & social friendly adult, much loved family pet. During this time we managed his recovery with crate rest & would be happy to provide this for other pets that also board at the home. I have one large crate at the property more would need to be provided. I offer free range of the upstairs living area of our property for the dogs to roam, explore & relax. We sleep down stairs & this area would be off limits to the boarding pets. If this is a preference for your pet when boarding with me, we would be able to discuss suitability. I have no children living in the home (just 3 adult dog lovers). I will be the primary carer for your pet during the board, but pets will be fussed by all. I have some family with children ages 9+ who are comfortable & good with dogs. On the occasional visit we would carefully supervise them around any boarding pets adapting to the pets needs.

About: I was brought up with dogs and they have always been part of my family. I love and enjoy spending time with dogs. Taking them for walks, playing with them and generally spending time getting to know them! I only work part time so I have plenty time for long dog walks in the beautiful local country side. All dogs will be loved and cared for as part of our family. We have a large detached house with an enclosed back garden with many exciting walks nearby. We would only be able to accept dogs who are good with children. I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time for enjoying the outdoors walking or cycling. This is made even more enjoyable when accompanied by wagging tails. I have a fenced garden accessible at all times through a medium sized doggie door and two resident Border Terriers to provide company. The dogs have free reign of the house and furniture. We live near so many amazing walking routes and locations that our dog walks are always varied and exciting.

“Naomi was incredible with our nervous little dachshund. She took the time to calm and get to know her and clearly has a good affinity with dogs. Naomi also had really clear good communication! She was brilliant, we’d book her again instantly.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life so have lots of love and experience with them. As soon as I was old enough I started walking dogs for my neighbours and since then have expanded out. I have lots of experience working with adolescent dogs (especially collies) and have handled many different sized breads including Irish wolf hounds. I’ve learnt how to handle them safely on and off lead in many different environments. I studied at Hartpury College for my A-Levels doing an animal management course. I’ve also worked at the RSPCA rescue centre for a couple of years. I love going for long walks and having the company of a four legged friend is an extra bonus! I always want to create a safe and happy environment where your dog can thrive. Flexible working hours. Mainly work week days but can work weekends if needed. I am happy to work around your schedule and help out whenever I can. I have a private field at the back of the house for your dogs to have lots of outside time, with an agility course set up if that's how your doggos like to spend there time! I’m fully insured, dbs checked and canine first aid trained.

About: With years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members somewhere they’ll feel safe, happy, and loved. My pet boarding service is more than just a place to stay — it’s a home away from home. I provide personalised care based on each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra playtime, medication, special diets, or just lots of cuddles. Having worked with dogs, cats and a variety of small animals, I’m confident in handling pets with different temperaments and routines. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family — because they are. 🐾 Because I work from home, pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I’m around throughout the day to give pets regular attention, outdoor breaks, playtime, and snuggles — not just at set times. This allows me to keep a close eye on their well-being, follow their usual routines, and give them the comfort of companionship rather than long stretches alone. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to each pet’s feeding times, walk schedule, or special needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or quiet evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels cared for and included in my daily routine. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, which is why I care for them right in their own home — surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they already love. I do my best to keep things as normal as possible, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and snuggles, so they feel secure while you’re away. Since I work from home, I get to spend lots of time with your pets during the day, giving them attention, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to handle any special needs, like medication, special diets, or just extra cuddle breaks. I treat your pets like my own and your home with respect, so you can relax knowing everything (and everyone!) is well cared for until you’re back. 🐾

“Liz took real time to get to know my dogs, came prepared with questions that were very thorough, and really engaged with me and my dogs. She took lots of photos that were both adorable and reassuring and was able to accommodate me adding another walk last minute, for which I'm very grateful. She acted professionally and I will be using her again the next time I need.”

About: My love for animals started at a young age, and I have spent my whole life caring for rescue dogs.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.

“It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know Lily. Our nervous beagle,Bailey adores her! Lily is amazing with Bailey and I highly recommend her for both dog walks and doggie sitting 💕”

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was young and am passionate about dogs and their welfare!

About: Had dogs since childhood, I’m now 35 and having been made redundant started my own dog walking/sitting business with a number of clients already. Love working with reactive dogs, all shapes and sizes. Available 7 days a week and able to work around a clients needs. Dog walking and sitting is my full time job and whatever the weather I’m happy to help. My own dog is very reactive but completely harmless, I treat all dogs with love and respect, while having a calming demeanour. Dogs are welcome both on and off the lead but I’m naturally more cautious with other peoples pets.
