Dog Walking Vale of White Horse

About: Hi, I’m Emma! 🐾 I’m an experienced dog owner with two friendly rescue dogs and a real passion for providing safe, enriching and loving care. Whether your dog joins us for a walk, daycare or an overnight stay, they’ll receive the same care, attention and affection as my own dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals and was fortunate enough to help train guide dog puppies, which developed my understanding of patience, positive reinforcement and dog behaviour. I now have two amazing rescue dogs who are both neutered, friendly and love meeting other dogs. We enjoy lots of walks and adventures, so your dog will have plenty of exercise and enrichment. I also believe mental stimulation is just as important, and love teaching tricks, reinforcing commands and encouraging good manners through positive training. Your dog may even come home having learnt a new skill! 🐶 My aim is to make every owner feel completely at ease while they’re away. I provide regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and enjoying their own little holiday too. ❤️ 🐾 Before booking To help me provide safe and appropriate care, please confirm: • The date of your dog’s most recent vaccinations • The date of their most recent flea treatment • The date of their most recent worming treatment I’m always happy to discuss any individual needs, routines, dietary requirements or medication your dog may have. 📅 Booking enquiries I’m currently receiving several enquiries for upcoming dates. To keep things fair, dates are confirmed on a first-come, first-confirmed basis and cannot be held indefinitely. If you’d like to secure your dates, please get in touch and I’ll be very happy to discuss your booking and arrange a meet-and-greet. 🐾 I work a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular walks and enrichment throughout the day. I like to keep the dogs’ days varied and relaxed, with daily mental stimulation activities such as enrichment feeding and simple training. Most days, the door is open for the dogs to enjoy the garden throughout the day, giving them the freedom to go outside, explore or simply relax in the fresh air. After their morning walk and some enrichment, my own dogs are usually very happy to spend much of the day snoozing — and I’m perfectly happy to let them enjoy a peaceful nap! 🐶💤 I aim to create a home-from-home environment where dogs can follow a comfortable routine, with a balance of exercise, play, enrichment, companionship and plenty of downtime. 🚗 Walks & pick-ups For walks and pick-ups, I have an estate car fitted with a dog guard, providing a secure and practical way to transport dogs. I also come prepared with my own dog-walking kit, including poo bags, treats and toys. I carry a 10m long line for dogs who may need a little extra freedom while still having a secure connection, particularly those who are still working on their recall.

About: I’ve always been a dog person: I grew up with terriers and later rescued a collie, so I’m used to everything from cheeky, high‑energy pups to clever working breeds who need plenty of stimulation. I love long walks, playing games, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a fun adventure or a gentle, confidence‑building stroll, I’m here to make sure they have a great time. I have a tiny cat called pepper, and greatly appreciate my wonderful friends that visit her when I am travelling. I am keen to give back and ensure that pet lovers can enjoy their travels, in the confidence that their furry friend is taken care of. I'm fully flexible outside of office hours for pet visits and dog walks. Unfortunately working full-time has meant I've been unable to bring a new dog home since the loss of my collie. I particularly miss our evening walks and so I now love to help take take of your furry companions. Available early mornings, evenings and weekends. I always offer a meet and greet, to ensure I have all the necessary information, and that you are comfortable leaving your pet in my care.

About: Hello, You can be assured your furry friend will be looked after very well. I've grown up with lots of furry friends and have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, chickens, ducks, geese and a whole host of furry pals. They are beautiful animals with souls of their own and I try to understand their 'silent' communication with us. While I care for your furry pal, give them comfort and make them feel relaxed, content and exercised, you can go on holiday safe in the knowledge they will be looked after. IMPORTANT NOTES: New clients: I only accept house-sitting bookings for 7+ I can walk your pals, but need a regular booking not just a one-off 1 or 2 day house-sitting bookings are not possible. I need to justify the mileage to your home and back. Included in the daily fee (which works out to be £1.66/hour over a 24hour period), I will take your dog for a daily walk. They must be 'good on the lead' - i.e. no pulling (as I'm an older lady and my wrists hurt!). DOG WALKING AND DROP-IN REQUESTS I do take dogs for walks and do drop-ins, the house/pet sitting takes priority. If I'm unavailable for walking, it may be that I'm already booked for a house/pet sit. YOUR HOME I will keep your house secure and tidy, and will leave it as I entered it. I will wash and clean anything I have used and replace any food I may have eaten, although as a general rule, I order a box from a home delivery service for the time I'm with you. All I need is: - a shelf in your fridge - a small space in your freezer - somewhere to write/read I will not take any food from your fridge or cupboards, however, if an emergency happens, I will replace anything that I take. SPECIAL NOTE: Please do not expect: Dog /pup training - although I do play with your dog! Housecleaning or ironing service - although I will keep your home tidy/clean. I will bring real meat (dried) treats and toys with me, so if there's anything your pet doesn't need/want or desire, please let me know. I only bring authentic, real meat (dried) treats and biscuits - NOT smackos, bonios or raw hide. I have created a YouTube channel, Guardian4Dogs, and upload my own videos of my stay with your pals. Will upload without personal details, my experiences with house and pet sitting: Please note your booking with me begins at 11am and ends at 11am. If you would like me to end 2hours or more later than 11am on the final day, there will be a percentage charge that reflects the additional hours. I do not offer services from my own home-sitting facilities. Your pet is in trustworthy hands and their care is important to me. For this reason, please leave me: - a schedule of your dog's day (time they wake up and go to bed). - a list of things your pet needs, vets details and a neighbour's details. - a list of words that your pet knows, so that I can communicate best with them. - a list of foods that your pet does and does NOT eat, so that their stomach isn't upset by new foods or treats.

About: Former rescue dog owner. Have been around pets all my life. Loving home with enclosed garden in a new development so away from main roads and plenty of open space. Work from home so available all day. Fun and energetic couple. We enjoy walks. No pets at home and no kids. I work from home in my garden cabin so dog will have ability to be outside at all times. We enjoy walks so will be taken often. No kids or pets at home so a safe relaxing environment I have a fenced garden and surrounded by open spaces. Dogs will take centre stage and have free roam on couch and plenty of attention.

About: I have been a dog owner since my early childhood. I have experience looking after puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently have a very energetic dog that requires lots of walks. She is very friendly and misses a lot her companion, our dachshund that passed away 3 years ago. I am in full time employment, however I work from home twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. I am also available for dog walks and pet sitting most weekends. I can house and pet sit or do drop in visits as and when needed provided it is within a driving distance and detailed instructions are provided with regards to pet care if your pet has custom requirements.

“Claire was available last minute and very flexible. Thanks Claire and hopefully see you again soon!”

Alicia F.

“It was such a relief to know I could totally rely on Alina to manage the dog walk while I was away for the day. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

Louisa S.

“Nadia communicated well with us throughout. She was not phased by Koda’s rescue-dog anxieties and supported her well on her long daily walks. Koda was always happy to go with her - Thank you!”

About: I've had dogs as a child as part of the family and known how important they are to their owner. More recently I have cats (3) and whilst living in Jordan I fostered several cats and found them homes. I'm used to large dogs, elderly dogs and excited puppies and thoroughly enjoy walking them and keeping them company. If you need someone to pop in and check on your furfamily during the day whilst you're away, stay the night or walk them I can help. I'm a teacher so have half terms free for when you may sant to get away. I don't have children so not dictated by this factor either. I'm not offering board at my home. However I will follow whatever instructions you leave since it will be different for each furfamily. Happy to clear litter trays, play with your pets for mental stimulation or take for walks.

About: Hi, we’re Louise and Cameron! 😊 We’re a caring, reliable couple who absolutely love dogs. We understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so we’ll make sure they’re treated like one of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to their usual routine, we’ll give your dog plenty of love and attention while you’re away. We’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for complete peace of mind. We offer dedicated care from Friday through Sunday! With Louise working from home on Fridays and both of us around all weekend, your dog will have constant company, regular garden breaks, and plenty of attention. We also offer full-time care during all school holidays, including full 7-day care throughout summer, half-terms, Easter, and Christmas! We have a fenced garden with plenty of room for your dog to run around. Being in Oxfordshire we also have lots of lovely walks around us. Happy to follow any instructions you ask - whether this is bedtime in a crate or strict feeding times!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, fish, cows, you name it. It feels pointless going on a walk without a dog to me. I’d love the chance to meet some people and animals, and spend my evenings being productive. Since moving away from home I miss my dogs so much! I have helped my mum raise them, I’ve looked after puppies from birth, old dogs who need meds and naughty dogs too who need some discipline. So I will do my best to help out and suit whatever your pets needs are, I’m really easygoing and flexible. I do have a full time job, I work 8am -4:15 pm. It’s relatively flexible if I need to leave early or go and check on a pet at lunch time. If I have enough notice I can also work from home. My evenings are always quite free which is the ideal time to help out. I’ve always been responsible and respectful, and have been trusted to babysit in other peoples homes. I am renting a room in someone’s home so I am used to respecting someone else’s space and property.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs at home and I've taken care of pets for friends and family over the years. I love being around them, caring for them and giving them love. I have a miniature daschund myself and he's the sweetest boy. I'd have more pets in a heartbeat if I could. I'd love to take care of your furbabies. It would be my pleasure. I work full time Mon-Fri but there's a lot of flexibility with my job. I can pop out and pop in as needed so caring for your pet is no problem at all. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You will have daily updates (if preferred) so you can rest assured that all is well with your pets throughout my time with them.

“Emma is great - a real ‘safe pair of hands’ - feels good to know that our dog is in the best of hands.”

Adam C.

“Cora has been wonderful with our boisterous young German Shepherd. She is communicative, clearly loves animals, and makes his walks interesting and engaging. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I understand and enjoy their little quirks and personalities. Play with them is the highlight of pet sitting I work from home with flexible schedule so I am happy and available to pop out for a walk any time day or evening :) I can take care of the dog in your house or bring them to mine where I am surrounded by lovely green fields where play and run

About: Hi I’m Rave :) Just a little about me.. I work in the NHS in a support services role and have the flexibility to work from home and love any time I can spend around animals! I currently rent and do not have the option to adopt my own little pets, hence this would be the perfect opportunity to spread my love. In my spare time I like going for walks, crocheting and doing puzzles! I work from home 3 days of the week so have the flexibility to do drop ins and take pets out for walks etc when I’d like - am able to drive places as well! If I were house sitting I’d try to do as much as I could based on the pets regular schedule so they have a good experience while their parents are away :) It’s important to me that the pets (and owners) feel comfortable with me being in their home - always nice to do a short introduction before the sitting day as this will help them familiarise with me. It’s helpful when owners leave instructions on what to do as each pet is so different- bit about their personality also helps reassure I’m doing the right things to give them the care that’s best for them.

About: We have, together and apart, looked after many pets and before coming to the UK, had a lifetime of our own.Your pets will be loved and taken care off,with regular communication.We are tidy,responsible and genuinely love animals,and will gladly share our fabulous reviews with you. I book petsits when I am not working.I am self employed so that means I get to choose when to work or petsit. Sometimes I sit with my grown up daughter and as her work schedules also fluctuate we make a dream team,ensuring one or both of us will be there for you. We look after clients animals in their home.We are flexible so if your dogs are used to sleeping with you,we will do same. Each dog has its own needs so one works with that. I use 'we' because my daughter and I sometimes sit as a team and other times on our own.We have 5 star reviews from the sits done previously,which we are happy to share with pet owners.

“I don’t understand why she marks everywhere outside, would have thought it’d stop after she was spayed but got worse. She’s not her full self at the minute but we are giving her leg another week on different painkillers and reviewing next Monday. Thanks Cluny!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and since the age of 4, I have always had one or more dogs in the house. I have experience in training my own dogs at home and out on walks. I’m currently at university and also working part time so this would fit perfectly into my spare time and be a great break from my uni work. If you decide you’d like me to stay for a few days then I’d be able to work from home on these days! In my home we have a fenced off garden and a large area for the dog/dogs to run around in. We have lots of walking routes and fields local but I’m also happy to take the dogs to different locations out of the area too!

“First time Tamsin has walked Frankie. It was nice to have a photo of Frankie out on his walk. All went well, he was very chilled and happy on my return and I have already booked Tamsin for an overnight stay.”
