Dog Walking in Test Valley

“We could not be happier with the excellent, reliable and kind way in which Simon and Nadeen care for our two very lively dogs. Yesterday, they took them for a walk (and fed them) whilst we were out for the afternoon. The dogs were properly tired yesterday evening so they’d obviously had the best time. Thank you once again Simon and Nadeen for helping us!”

“Leonie has built up a very good relationship with our dog Buddy and he loves going for walks with her. She is always punctual and reliable and she has been walking him for several weeks now. He greets her enthusiastically when she arrives and seems to work off plenty of energy on their walks together. We’d happily recommend her.”

About: With over 4 years of animal and pet care experience I regularly look after a number of local dogs by feeding ,walking and caring for them in their home as such I am comfortable in assessing different dogs needs. Currently I am on a gap year before hopefully studying veterinary medicine at university. I regularly volunteer at a city farm where I care for a wide range of animals from chickens and horses to reptiles so am very experienced in animal handling . I have also completed multiple placements at working farms, yards and vet clinics so no matter what age or size your fury friend is or any special needs they may have I am confident in my ability to provide a safe and loving environment for them. I currently work part-time so only have Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays completely free during the day but am available from 6:30pm any evening. But please get in touch as I can be flexible with my shifts. I will tailor myself to fit your animals needs, as such I am happy to run around and play or snuggle on the sofa. My aim is to care for your pet just as you would, providing a safe and secure environment for them and will follow any instructions given. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos of your furry friend if wanted. Your pets health and well-being is my number one priority.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life- I’ve spent over 10 years caring for dogs, cats (and even horses!) and at home my family have our own little crew of 3 dogs and 2 cats- so I know just how much love, attention and care our furry (and sometimes muddy!) friends need. I also have my own business doing this. With years of pet sitting experience I know how to keep tails wagging, paws happy and hearts full whilst you’re out! Pet sitting and dog walking is now my full time job! So I have plenty of time to play with your pups and cuddle your cats! I can offer tailored walks drop in visits and sitting at your home! I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments! I can easily keep to your pets routine to keep them happy whilst you’re away

“My dog Bagel LOVES Kamila so much, which definitely shows how well she's treated on her walks! Bagel often doesn't want to leave my side, but as soon as Kamila is around she's raring to go. Kamila is always gentle and kind, ignoring bad behaviour as I've asked, and will give Bagel all the cuddles she wants too. I can trust that Bagel is having the best time 😁”

“Dennis had the best time with Jasmine on his walk, he has been looking out the window for her ever since she dropped him off :) We've booked in more dates for them to hang out together already.”

About: I’m an avid dog lover, and love all dogs big and small. I volunteer at the rescue Dogs’n’Homes which work with strays and puppies to be rehomed. I am confident with working with timid dogs, as well as high energy dogs. I have 2 dogs of my own. A senior cockapoo who is high energy and a rescue havachon who is anxious. I adore them equally - most days👀🤣 I’m confident with walking dogs on the leads and I encourage smells and stimulation for a fully beneficial walk.🌳 I’m a fully remote worker in a bluechip company and only need WiFi and a seat big enough for me and the pet to cuddle for the day.💻🐾❤️ I have a fully fenced garden big enough for all dogs to run around. I also have 2 dogs who adore guests and other fur babies to bring comfort to yours.

“Very sweet girl, the dogs were always pleased to see her. Had booked Mia to walk my two poodles, while we were away on holiday and my parents were looking after the dogs. Everything went well, left my parents and Mia to organise times between them as the weather was very hot. I think this was her first booking.”

“Biscuit loved Molly as soon as he met her and you can tell that Molly has lots of experience with dogs! Molly kept us posted with lots of photos and Biscuit was really happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely recommend Molly to anyone!”

About: I have 12 years of experience looking after my own dog walking ,feeding and giving her the attention she needs .Also I have looked after family friends dogs and helped carry out their usual routine.I have experience walking an anxious dog which needs a careful eye to stop them attacking other dogs . I am currently unemployed but looking for work so looking after my dog is very easy since I have extra time to take her on long walks and give her the attention she needs , I care for my dog by consistently sticking to a routine starting the day with good nutritious food,cleaning her water bowl then filling it up and letting her outside into the garden .In the afternoon we both get our daily exercise in the form of a walk after that dry her off if needed and let her get cozy and relax.When her fur is getting too long she tolerates a visit to the groomer .

About: I volunteer at St francis animal welfare where I walk and play with the dogs. I'm also currently doing a level 3 diploma in canine behaviour and welfare. I work a few part time jobs so I can go back between jobs to check on dogs, keep them company and give them toilet breaks. I try to stick to the routine that the owners tell me. I treat the dog as if they were mine and give them lots of attention.

About: With 18 years of experience caring for my beloved Westie who has very sadly and recently passed away, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to give dogs the love and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve become skilled in everything from feeding routines to administering medication, and most importantly, offering companionship and comfort. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing and spending time with many other dogs. This has given me the opportunity to connect with a variety of breeds and personalities, further expanding my knowledge and skills in dog care. I’ve also had the joy of pet sitting for others, ensuring that their furry family members are in safe, loving hands while they’re away. Whether it’s taking them for walks, playing their favorite games, or just offering a cozy lap to curl up on, I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own. You can trust me to provide your pets with the best care possible! I understand how important it is to balance caring for your pets with your own schedule. That’s why I offer flexible pet sitting services to fit around your routine. Whether you need someone to pop out for lunch breaks, evening visits, or weekend walks, I’ve got you covered! During lunch breaks, I’m happy to stop by and check in on your pet, ensuring they’re fed, refreshed, and getting the attention they need. If your pet loves walks, I can also take them for a stroll to keep them active and happy while you’re away. In the evenings, I’ll make sure your furry friend is settled in, whether that’s with a play session, some quiet time, or just keeping them company. And on weekends, I can take your dog for longer walks or outings, ensuring they’re not only well cared for but also getting the fun and exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m here to provide peace of mind, knowing your pets are well taken care of, no matter your schedule! When I look after your pets, I treat them as if they were my own. With years of experience caring for my own dog, I understand how important it is to provide not just food and shelter, but love, attention, and respect. From the moment your pet is in my care, they become part of my family. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, given plenty of playtime, and provided with the same routine and comfort they’re used to at home. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a leisurely walk, or just cuddling on the couch, I’ll be there to meet their physical and emotional needs. If they have any special requirements, whether it’s medication, grooming, or just extra TLC, I’ll ensure they’re well taken care of. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where your pet feels at ease, just like they do when they’re with you. You can rest assured knowing that while you’re away, they’re in the best hands—being treated with the same care and affection as my own furry friend. When your pet comes to stay with me, they’ll be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll feel safe and comfortable. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to relax and explore. I have a fenced garden where they can run, play, and enjoy the outdoors, so they’ll have the freedom to stretch their legs and get some fresh air in a secure environment. Whether your pet is used to curling up on the couch or enjoying some time outdoors, I’ll make sure they have everything they need to feel at ease. From cozy spots inside to a secure space outside, they’ll experience a loving, home-like atmosphere—just like they would at your place. You can rest easy knowing they’re in a safe, comfortable environment, treated with the same care and attention I give my own pet.

About: I am usually working part time at a boarding kennel and cattery however being at in university means that my shifts are few and far between so I am able to do rover work! my work day to day is filled with feeding, walking and cleaning so i have no problem doing these things for your pets, I have had lots of practice! I have always loved animals and have been surrounded buy them from a young age. we had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, tortoises and a hedgehog! i have been working and studying with animals for about 8/9 years now and am currently studying Clinical Animal Behavior and Training at University hence why I spend half my year in Andover and half in Gloucester. I honestly love doing rover work while studying as not only does it mean I have a lovely quiet place to study but going out on walks means I get out and about in study breaks which is so important for productivity and mental health. I am currently open for the summer bookings from June to August I will be operating mainly in the south west as I will be based in Andover in Hampshire though could travel further for a long stay i am currently a student studying animal behavior at university, this means my schedule is quite open, having a full day of lectures on a Tuesday and 2-3 hours on Monday and Thursday. I can essentially learn online and do all of my work from a kitchen table which is perfect for looking after pets. I'm afraid I cannot offer boarding as I love in student accommodation and I wouldn't like to put any dog in a potentially stressful environment! When I'm sitting at the house I will never leave the house for longer than your animal is happy with which we can talk about, as I don't have many other responsibilities I will not have any unexpected reasons to leave. I often spend my days at a kitchen table on a sofa with a dog bed next to me, this way you'll pet can feel that they can come as close or stay as far away as they like! I love a good cuddle but will respect personal space if they prefer. Often first morning/day I try to keep myself "small" so that your animal can investigate me in their home properly this often looks as if I'm ignoring your pet as I want them to feel at ease to investigate me as much as they want and get comfortable with me without me forcing myself into their space. I never, ever mingle any animals be them dogs, cats or hamsters(!) that have not previously met for safety reasons.

About: For as long as I can remember my family have had dogs. Over the years we have had Dachsunds, German Shepherds, a Labrador and a Golden Retriever. My wife and I had a Terrier Cross for 12 years, who we sadly lost a couple of years ago. We’re not currently looking to replace him, so I am looking for a doggy fix elsewhere! I am the main carer for our son who has autism and learning difficulties, who is currently at College. Between dropping him off in the morning and pickup mid-afternoon I'm available most of the day for doggy duties! I have a fenced and private garden and will always walk with a lead. I am more than happy to follow your rules and instructions.

“Abi popped in again to take our dog out for some walks. Abi is very communicative and flexible in her approach to dog care. Definitely our first choice dog care. Thanks so much!!!”

About: Regularly look after a young Italian Greyhound since a puppy - and 3 ragdoll cats since kittens. My own cat lived to be 20 years! I have recently left the corporate world and want to work with animals. I have no children so free to house sit our precious friends! I like to know that pet owners have a secure garden and not near a main road for cats as that worries me. Secure surroundings would be lovely!

About: Pets have always been part of our family, hamsters, cats, dogs, rabbits.I am comfortable with pets with a range of needs, I have administered medication and taken care of anxious dogs that need special attention. I have brushed, fed, cleaned and maintained daily routines of pets. I've always lived in the country side and loved being around horses and cows. Taking care of pets is in my blood my grandma before I was born rescued stray cats and even a goat that didn't have a home. I am a hobbyist photographer so I am more behind the camera than in front. I am currently have a new job working part time and not completely sure if hours will change, I am free Tuesday Wednesday and Thursdays and maybe available afternoons or evenings when I work Currently have a senior cat, we took on from a family member who passed away.She has a big personality and loves treats. She has a full coat that needs a lot of grooming and needs to be around people.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of their unique needs. Growing up with dogs instilled a love and respect for their companionship, and as an adult, I’ve continued to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for my own pets. I am dedicated to ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and understood, combining compassion with a professional approach to meet their individual needs. I am currently on a career break so my availability isn't limited however, I will be going back to college from September so will update once I have more information. I am happy to follow owners way of looking after their pet. When out walking I won't allow dogs off leash until I have a trusted bond and am confident that their recall is strong. As I have 3 cats I will only offer boarding to dogs in my own home if they aren't bothered with them.

About: My name is Courtney and I'm the proud founder of this dog walking business born out of my deep-seated passion for dogs. A little bit about me.. I’m from a military family and have lived locally for the past 15 years, I’ve always worked in the care sector from disabilities, elderly, end of life and children. After working for children services for 4 years I decided to achieve my life long dream of getting my first puppy, after a lot of research I found the perfect match in my boy Norman or how we like to call him sometimes Naughty Normie..he is a now 2 year old Irish Doodle (red setter/poodle) as much hard work as he was, he fit into our family perfectly. A year on we decided we wanted to re home a friend for him, after a lot of searching we found the one. Digby is our 5 year old Portuguese Water Dog, as soon as Norman and Digby met we knew he was going to complete our family and what duo they are!! I believe that every dog deserves to experience the joy of a refreshing walk, filled with exploration and tail-wagging happiness. Inspired by my Auntie Caroline's dedication to her own dog walking business, "Middle Wallop Paw Patrol," I've decided to embark on this journey to create a sister company that upholds the same values of professionalism, reliability, and, most importantly, love for dogs. After now completing a Pet First Aid and Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma and also gaining experience along side my auntie, I am excited to see where this new adventure takes me. At Wallop's Walkies, I am not just about taking dogs for a stroll; I am committed to providing a tailored experience that meets the unique needs and preferences of each furry client. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the park or an energetic adventure along the trails, rest assured that your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. Join me in creating unforgettable moments and forging lasting bonds with your furry family members. Together, let's make every walk a joyful and enriching experience for your beloved dogs. 🐾30 min solo walk 1x morning and 1x evening 🐾1hr group walks 4 dogs per walk 3 times a day available 🐾30 min home visits without walk All pets will be looked after as if they were my own, make sure they feel safe and their homes are always secured before leaving
