Dog Walking West Dunbartonshire

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. From a young child, I would lie in my dogs beds and play with them over any human. I have been asked by various family members and friends to look after their furry friends over anyone else. I understand all types of dogs and their needs and I guarantee that I will become their new best friend 🤍 I currently work in a dog friendly bar, zero hours with a very flexible schedule. If possible, plenty of notice prior to booking would be fab. Give me a message and we can work out dates that accommodate both of us. I would prefer coming to you when possible. I am willing to travel to you. Your dog will be my only focus and priority and I am more than happy to schedule prior visits for your furry friend to get familiar with me. Depending on your dogs needs I can provide walks, or if not we can stay in the garden or even snuggle up on the couch together.

“Diane was great; arrived promptly, took such good care of my dogs and had great communication! Will definitely be booking again :)”

About: Ever since I was younger I have helped walk and look after family and friends pets. Ive also helped to train some of these animals. Ive got an NC and a HNC in animal care. I'm also a RVN. I am confident in walking all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am also able to administer medications I work full time at a veterinary practice. I have Tuesdays, most Saturdays as well as all Sundays off. I can be quite flexible during weekends for doing both walks and visits. I may also be able to do some evenings. I am happy to try and work around my schedule. I will listen to the owners instructions and the needs for their pets. If house cats I will make sure they will be still in the home before I leave. For dogs I will cater walks to their needs and energy requirements.

“Thank you so so much- walking Bertie and Mabel allowed us to enjoy our wedding day stress free! The dogs were so well looked after and loved their walks 🥰”

“Margaret was great with my two dogs. They really took to her, even the dog who is usually quite timid with anyone outwith the family. Definitely recommend and will be using her again.”

About: I have experience with high energy dogs with my 5 year old border collie, and my friends and family have dogs of various breeds. I have grown up around dogs of all ages, my aunt bred border collies and trained them for shows, and I enjoyed getting involved with their training. Currently on maternity leave and my partner is studying mostly from home, so always someone around for company. We love to get outdoors to walk our 5 year old border collie with our 6 month old daughter (always supervised with dogs and is very respectful), usually over the Kilpatrick Hills or Balloch Country Park. We have a large fenced garden and a 5 year old border collie for your pets to make friends with! We’re always up for a snuggle, dogs welcome on furniture but can hold boundaries if that is preferred. We have multiple crates and can separate dogs in different rooms if required.

About: We understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, which is why we're committed to providing a safe, loving, and relaxed home-from-home environment for every dog in our care. Over the years, we've cared for a wide variety of family pets and have hands-on experience with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. Alongside owning pets ourselves, we've looked after a range of dog breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a tortoise. My wife, Kirsty, also works in a pet shop, where she has gained valuable experience caring for and advising on the wellbeing of many different animals. To give you even greater peace of mind, I am certified in Canine First Aid and CPR, ensuring I'm prepared to respond quickly and appropriately should an emergency ever arise. We know that every dog is unique, so we'll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, plenty of playtime, or simply relaxing with lots of fuss and cuddles, we'll make sure they feel happy, secure, and part of the family throughout their stay. Pet sitting fits naturally into our routine, allowing us to dedicate quality time and attention to every pet in our care. As I work Monday to Friday during term time, we primarily offer weekend pet care, making us an ideal choice for weekend breaks, weddings, family visits, and short getaways. We also have additional availability during school holidays and selected weekdays throughout the year. When your pet stays with us, they'll be welcomed into our home and cared for as if they were one of our own. We'll take the time to follow their usual routine, provide plenty of love, enrichment, exercise, and cuddles, and ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always our highest priorities. Our home is pet-free, allowing us to give your pet our full attention and providing a calm environment without the added stress that some animals can experience when meeting unfamiliar pets. We're fortunate to live close to plenty of green spaces and scenic walking routes, giving dogs lots of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, mental stimulation, and play in a safe environment. Whether your pet enjoys energetic adventures or a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing, we'll tailor their walks to suit their individual needs and routine. Inside our home, your pet will have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space where they can relax, feel secure, and enjoy plenty of love and attention throughout their stay.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to walk, feed, play with and look after their dogs for many years. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to a specific schedule, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I take my little girl to nursery at 9am till 2:45pm so I am free during the day and free most weekends and my love getting outdoors as much as possible. I have an indoor cat and he gets plenty of attention and acts like my second child. I am very caring when it comes to looking after pets.

“Cloe was great with my 6 month old Labradoodle puppy. She was reliable and provided regular updates with photos. She even spent time doing some training with him too. I highly recommend her to look after your fur baby”

About: Over the years I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, parrots and fish so I have always had a love for animals! I have plenty of experience in caring for them and know what they need. I have had pets who have had ongoing medical needs including regular medicine. I’m the go-to contact for friends and family when they need someone to pet-sit! My partner, Huzaifah, will be helping take care of your pet. He’s an animal lover and has looked after cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and iguana and a tortoise. I work part time and my partner, who also adores animals, works full time from home so your pet will always have company! We don’t work weekends or bank holidays. We currently have 2 gerbils in a cage in our spacious upper cottage flat with an unfenced garden. The gerbils are elevated so there shouldn’t be any issues, they love the company of other animals!

“Zoe was amazing with Riley, so patient despite many plastic bottles being collected on their walks. Would thoroughly recommend Zoe for any prospective pawrents needing a walker! Super communicative and made everything a breeze to organise. Thank you so much! ♥️ 🐾”

About: Hello! My dad & I started pet sitting a while back after being contacted on a pet sitting platform which I have used over the years for my own pets & have always had very positive experiences. We have enjoyed it very much, so much so we are making it our mission now to help as many owners with their pets as possible! 
 My dad being retired has all the time now to do the things he enjoys. Between the two of us we strive to provide a loving & safe environment for your pets. We love meeting new furry friends and getting to know them.
 We have gained experience on a range of pets needs including older, younger, pets which need 1-1 care , medication reliant and constant care. 
If you have any questions just ask away. No question is a silly question!
 We look forward to meeting your pet & making sure they are well looked after! Between my retired dad & i, we are around most of the time to accommodate pets that need constant care including older pets & those which need medication When staying in the owners home, we find nearby green grassy areas for different stretches of walks & toilet breaks depending on your pets needs. All we ask if owners provide poo bags. Thanks! :)

“Darren walked my dog daily for two weeks when I broke my ankle. He was quick to respond to in-app messages and always prompt, helpful, reliable and good with Rosko. I would happily use his services again”

“Please don’t hesitate to book Holly, her bond with Bracken is really special and brings him SO MUCH joy! Further to that is her kind consideration and flexibility of our household of small children and as such has become (hostage) an extension of our family!”

“Agnieszka has been walking our little French bulldog, Bruna, for the past week, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s attentive, communicates promptly about any updates or changes, and has been so reliable. Our Bruna adores her, which is a huge bonus for us. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I started petsitting when I was 11 and i’m very passionate about taking care and giving the best care possible for your pets! I have 3 pets of my own and have had a dog since i was 5 so i’m very experienced with animals and my other dog has behavioural issues so i’m well trained with that too. I currently don’t drive but I will be starting lessons soon! i’m enthusiastic and will do exactly as instructed to keep you and your furry friends happy. I’m not working at the moment so i’m free from August 1st onwards as I have other bookings until the 31st, I get the bus so times can be a little funny but I always make it work! When I care for pets in the owner’s home, I focus on creating a safe and familiar environment for them. I follow the pet’s usual routine, feeding, walks, and play, so they stay comfortable. Trust is key, so I keep owners updated and ensure their home is respected and secure. My presence gives both the pets and the owners peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of many family friends pets, comfortable with any temperament, can do daily check ins and walks or overnight stays when needed, student veterinary nurse so have gained extra handling experience.

Currently working part time on farm from 8am-1pm Monday- Thursday and Sundays, able to do drop in visits/ walks before work. Come September I am back at uni 2 days a week and then do online classes other days which means I am able to do multiple drop ins/ walks a day and overnights when needed. Comfortable staying in people’s homes when needed, can cater to any and all needs of pets. If dogs have routines of going to enclosed dog parks I am able to stick to routine as I can drive and have had no incidents or claims.
