Dog Walking Surbiton

About: I have several years of experience caring for small to medium-sized dogs, as well as over 10 years of experience looking after cats. I take a gentle, patient, and friendly approach with all animals, always making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building trust with them, so they feel safe and happy in my care. I’m currently looking for work, whilst doing some freelance work so my schedule is pretty flexible, therefore plenty of time for looking after pets! I provide attentive, in-home pet care by following the owner’s routine, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care. I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment.

“Sam has been the absolute best we’ve worked with— responsive, great with our dog, and extremely dependable!”

“Evie is great, good communication, brilliant with our pooch, and she has endless enthusiasm - even in the rain. Our poodle Otis always came back from their walks a very happy and tired boy. Many thanks. 😊”

About: I'm a passionate animal lover who shares my home with my miniature poodle Camembert (Cami) and five Sphynx cats, so animals are very much at the centere of my daily life. Cami is friendly, polite with other dogs, and great company for any other dogs on a walk :) While I'm new to working with dogs professionally, I have genuine hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs, from a tiny fox terrier puppy to a 70kg Akita mix, a reactive German Shepherd/Husky cross, cocker spaniels, puggles, and more. I've also cared for dogs in my home for extended periods, including a boisterous 10 month old Labrador/Staffy cross who needed structure and routine, and a 12 year old Beagle who needed a calm and gentle environment. I'm currently working towards my Kennel Club Crufts Bronze Good Citizen award with Cami, and enrolled on IMDT courses to become a certified dog trainer, so while I'm at the start of my professional journey, I'm actively building the knowledge and skills to back up my passion. Every dog in my care gets my full attention. I keep my bookings small deliberately, so I can give each one the time and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Cami and I start every day with a morning walk, and we also do an hour of training split across two sessions in our garden, so structure and consistency are already baked into my day. Monday to Friday I'm based at home(self employed), giving me flexibility to fit drop in visits and walks around a steady, animal focused routine. I treat every client's home with the same care I'd want shown to my own. I follow the owner's instructions to the letter when it comes to keys, access, and keeping the property secure, and I make sure everything is locked up properly before I leave. Before any booking I ask for a full picture of the animal, their habits, quirks, and any specific needs. Wherever possible I also like to do a meet and greet with the owner present beforehand, so the dog can get familiar with me in a relaxed setting, the owner can see how we interact, and we can all make sure it feels like the right fit before committing to anything.

About: Hi! I'm a huge dog lover and I've been taking care of golden retrievers since I was around 8 years old. I love interacting and playing with animals, and enjoy caring for them! I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and always try to make sure they feel safe, and happy during walks. I'm happy to care for both small and large dogs! I'm currently graduated from high school, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care your dogs! I'm available most weekdays and weekends during the summer. Feel free to message me for availability! Your dog's safety and comfort are always my priority. During walks, I pay close attention to the surrounding environment and carefully observe each dog's condition. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs and will make sure they feel safe and enjoy their walks!

About: I’m a reliable, calm and attentive sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, from energetic young pets that need patience and consistency, to senior pets that require a gentler, more attentive approach. I’m confident sticking to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement and administering basic medication if needed. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give. I take the time to build trust with each animal, understand their personality and create a calm environment where they feel relaxed and secure. I’m also extremely clean, respectful and dependable, so owners can feel confident both their pets and home are in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, consistency and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime and keeping to feeding schedules are something I’m happy to prioritise. I’m also organised and flexible, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I always prioritise creating a safe, calm and familiar environment for pets, whether I’m in my own home or caring for them in theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely so their routine stays consistent, including feeding, walks, medication and any specific care needs. In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I make sure doors, gates and windows are properly secured and that pets are never put in risky situations on walks or during play. I take time to build trust with each pet, moving at their pace and paying close attention to their behaviour so I can respond to their needs properly. My goal is always to keep them relaxed, safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

“It was our first time leaving our Cockapoo Buddy so I was a bit nervous, Steph immediately put my mind at ease when we met her and her doggy Elliot, she was friendly and organised and very excited to take care of Buddy. During our time away Steph sent us pictures and updates of Buddy which was lovely. He had the best time with her and her family and he can’t wait to go back! Thank you so much”

“Lexi has been super professional and reliable. She is always on time and accommodating when we’ve needed changes. Our Bruno loves her and enjoys his walks with her. She has learned quickly what Bruno needs for mental stimulation and he’s always ready for a nap after his walks. Lexi has been great at communicating with us and keeps us updated.”

About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.

“Very pleased to find Andrew round the corner from us! He regularly walks our dog, Olive, he is very reliable and took the time to get to know her. He is very friendly and easy to communicate with.”

“We are so happy to have found Joana. She has helped us with walks, drop in visits and house sitting for our Jack Russell, Biscuit, while we were away for a week, and we have found her not only a lover of animals but responsible, friendly, trustworthy and professional. We had quite a lot of detailed requirements due to Biscuit's anxiety and Joana was kind and accommodating. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt really confident Biscuit was in good hands with her. We would definitely recommend Joana and will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Joana.”

About: Full time dog sitter. I’ve been taking care of animals from a young age and I’m very passionate about them, I took to volunteering at a dog hotel because I wanted to be in that environment and learn to care for them, and have been caring for peoples pets for a long time ! I’m currently on my summer break before my final year at university, however I have been taking care of peoples pets during my term times and always make time to ensure the animals feel love and cared for especially while their parents are away ! I have a small garden but easy access to grass areas and enriching walks if needed and have a lot of experience with caring for animals in their home or my own

About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs back home (2) for a couple of years until I had to move abroad. My partner (Kent Sampson) will also be supporting - we both have taken care of friends dogs and my partners parents' dog when they needed! We both love animals and would love to help you with your pet while helping me missing our lovely dogs a bit less! Me and my partner (Kent S.) both work an office job, 9-5, but have quite some flexibility as our work is hybrid! I work from the office 2x a week and try to coordinate with my partner to go on alternative days - we both have availability to walk dogs in the mornings, lunch time and afternoons with prior planning :) We have a backyard shared with 2 other flats, where your dog can play and a park 3 min walk away! I would offer them a warm environment and give them the care they need, always aligned with the owners wishes!
