Dog Walking in Test Valley

About: We have over 30 years of experience in having and loving dogs. We have an older dog of our own who is very friendly and loves company on his walks. I am semi retired and have plenty of time to walk and exercise your dog. Our home backs on to a lovely lake and open spaces. Our older dog Ozzie is very laid back and usually curls himself around me on our sofa. Your dog will be treated had part of our family and given a lot of love and attention. If they want to snuggle on the sofa that is absolutely fine with me. My husband will also give your dog an early morning walk if they are partial to that. We have a garden which is fenced off and we also have a dog flap so if I have popped out your dog will not have to wait to be let out for his or her toilet breaks. Our dog is very friendly with other dogs and we will make them feel safe and comfortable in our home from home.

“Georgia looked after our two family dogs over the weekend and was so helpful, friendly, flexible and responsive! She sent us photos of our dogs having a lovely time whilst she was with them so I know they were well looked after. Would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to mind them again in the future!”

About: I’ve been around pets of all ages, and have loved looking after each and every one of them. I’ve raised and trained my own dog, and I have learnt the patience and kindness that is needed for pets from first hand experience. I’m currently off from Uni, so I’m able to dedicate my time fully to pet care, taking them on walks, and giving them all the love they need. I have a fenced garden, with lots of grass, and a 7 year old Black Lab that goes along with it, that loves company! There’s a separate room where they would get fed, and space for any beds or crates.

About: Hi, I’m Eliza and I’m 19. I’ve had a golden cocker spaniel in the household for about 5 years now - we got her in 2021, when she was 4 months old (an adorable tiny puppy!) and I was 14. She’s now 5 years old so I’ve pretty much grown up with her, so I have experience with dogs of all different ages. I would prefer to look after small and medium-sized dogs and I’m used to them pulling on the lead (my dog does it all the time!) but open to walking larger dogs too, as long as they aren’t too strong on the lead. I’m used to long walks since cocker spaniels are an active and lively breed! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I’m a student at Southampton university, currently in my first year, so I’m pretty flexible with timings. I’m free at various times on weekdays, and most weekends, but I’ll be updating my calendar regularly to show specific availability. I grew up with a dog (Toffee) and a cat (Noodle). On my profile, the first 6 photos are me with my dog (ranging from adulthood, and a picture of her as a puppy in the last of the 6 photos); the rest of the photos are me with my cat (also ranging from when he was a kitten - the first two photos, when I was much younger too! - to adulthood.) Therefore, I am well-versed when it comes to caring for both cats and dogs. Let me know if you have any questions! :)

“Jasmine is an exceptional dog walker and a genuinely reliable professional. She is calm, attentive, and naturally confident with dogs, which immediately creates a sense of trust. My dog responds to her extremely well and always returns from walks relaxed, happy, and well-exercised.”

About: I have had dogs now for almost 10 years and have trained and walked multiple dogs of friends and family. I am certified dog trainer and know all basic training techniques. I have a small home but plenty of walking trails and fields. Me and my partner work opposite shifts so we would be able to take care of your pets through the whole day. Overnight or weekends are always welcome. I have a fenced yard with plenty of comfy spots. We have a 7am breakfast time and 7pm dinner time but can be flexible to the needs of your dog.

“Spook’s walk with Charlotte made all the difference to his day. They get on well and it’s reassuring to me knowing that he’s seeing a kind and familiar face”

“Aimee is wonderful person. Me and Ester are really happy to meet with Aimee. Aimee has supported us for 2 weeks for walking with Ester. She is kind and supportive. Even Ester creates so much trouble for her she has kept supporting us.”

“Bethany loved taking ollie for walks while we were on holiday and he stayed with our parents who aren't too mobile. Ollie has a new friend and we'll be rebooking next time we need the extra help with walkies. Great feedback via the app each day as well.”

About: We are a semi retired British couple who love animals and have been full time pet/house sitters since May 2022. We are vegetarian, non smoking, and enjoy yoga, walking and travel. Together we have run a holiday letting business in SW Wales for over 15 years as well as courses for people suffering with Chronic Fatigue/M.E and stress related conditions. All of our therapy and holiday property lettings work has moved online now so we can work remotely from anywhere.

Your home will be kept tidy and spotlessly clean at all times. We are DBS checked and insured. Numerous reviews (all 5*) available on request.

“Guys walked Timmy a few times for me now. No issues. Punctual, reliable and trustworthy. I'd definitely use them in the future.”

About: Both my partner and I have owned and cared for dogs and cats since we were kids. Always dog sit for family and friends. Go for frequent walks in the countryside and have our own vehicle to transport dogs to and from walks with business insurance. I bathe and feed my mother’s dogs regularly and walk them with my partner around the fields of our home. I work full time mostly from home with the occasional in person meeting and off on weekends so am free around these times for anything needed. I am not normally gone for more than 4 hours however if it is longer my partner also sometimes works from home so with enough notice he can be there If your dog is house trained I can care for them at my home however I can also care for your loved pets in their own home and am able to collect from their home and take them for walks or drop in to feed and play with them for a few hours where needed. I am also able to stay overnight if required.

About: I have experience in caring for dogs of various breeds and ages from puppy to senior. I am qualified in Canine First Aid and have experience in cats and other animals. I also have a clear DBS check which is available to view if needed. I have been a dog fosterer homing dogs from Romania and helping them find their forever home. I volunteered with a Schnauzer charity and lead large dog walks twice a year. I have also volunteered for a Romanian rescue, making sure that all the dogs are doing well in their new adopted homes. I have had my own dogs, mainly small and medium, from puppies or rescues. Over the years, I have helped others walking their dogs and checking up on them at their homes. I love teaching puppies and dogs new tricks and i make sure i continue anything you are trying to teach while they are with me. I have a huge love for rescue dogs and plenty of experience with them while fostering. I am always at home, so i have plenty of time for your beautiful pets! Week days are very quiet for me so I am hoping to help where I can! I have a fenced grassy garden to keep your pet safe. I can also offer bathing if needed or just a paw clean after a muddy walk! Happy to use a crate if your pup is crate trained. I will only allow them on the sofa and bed if you are happy with this. I am available 24/7 and at short notice. I always make time when and where i can for everyones pets, whether to board, house sit or walk! I have a well sized family home with a safe, fenced in grassy garden and enough space in my home for dog beds, and any crates.

“John is fantastic with our very energetic, boisterous lab. Maple clearly loves the walks and is very excited when John arrives. He takes her such varied, long walks and we are very grateful-will definitely be booking again.”

Abigail J.

“Her updates made me feel completely at ease! And Saxon was very chilled and relaxed when I got home and he looked so happy on the pictures she sent over! Was initially quite nervous as it was my first experience with a dog walker but Chloe is perfect!”
