Dog Walking West Dunbartonshire

About: As a child, I never had a dog or cat of my own, despite begging my parents. So, I made up for it by walking my friends’ dogs as I loved animals. My mum then got a greyhound six years ago, and he was the best thing to happen to our family, so I spent my days looking after him. I wish to continue to do so in any way I can, whether it be dog walking or sleepovers. I am more than happy to help. I look forward to seeing the adventures your furry friend and I will go on, whether that be a local walk or taking your dog to the national park local to me. I am really looking forward to hearing from you! - Marina I currently working hybrid/remote from home so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your lovely pets! I have every weekend off too (: I can take your dog for local walks or i can take your dog to Loch Lomond or Balloch castle which is perfect for dog walking, your dog can wander around, play and swim too (: I will always create a route tailored to your dogs needs and abilities. At home, your pet will be allowed to wander the house freely. We have a good back and front garden where they can play and go out whenever they’d like.

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.

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!

About: Hi, we're Kathryn and John. We are a couple living in Glasgow with our 2 pets, a cat and a dog. Kathryn has grown up around dogs and has had a few in my life so far. John has had cats for years and we are both big animal lovers. We currently have a 2 year old Goldendoodle named Luna who will be friends with literally anyone who looks at her lol. If your dog is friendly and would like to have a companion on their walk, Luna will happily tag along. If your dog is not so keen on other dogs, Luna is perfectly happy sitting at home on her own for an hour or two so she won't be offended lol. We have trained our own dog to be very well behaved on walks and are more than happy to follow any rules or specific training you have with your dogs to keep them safe and happy throughout their walks. Kathryn is in a wheelchair with a sturdy leash attached for our own dog, so John will be the one who will collect your dog for their walk if there are any stairs involved. Neither of us work so we are free pretty much 24/7. Our daily routine includes taking our own dog for 2-3 walks a day and standard daily household chores. On Wednesday evenings, John is playing away from 5:30pm-8pm. On Thursday evenings, Kathryn is away from 5pm-9pm. On Friday evenings, John is away from 4-7pm. These are the only times where it would be one of us walking your dog is required. Any other time, there will be 2 of us (3 if Luna is allowed to join lol) We do not offer boarding in our home due to us having a cat as well who will not be friendly with strange dogs in the house.

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.

“Danni was great and totally put my mind at ease about leaving the girls with someone they didn't know, which we hadn't done before. The communication was great and I know she genuinely cares about them and does her best to meet their needs 😊She came to visit beforehand and really took the time to get to know them first. I feel more relaxed about being able to travel to see family now that we know we have someone who's kind and trustworthy that we can contact 😊I will definitely be using Danni's services again!”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From my childhood dog Mac and cat Oscar, to my teenage dog Joe and cat Bailey, to my own cat Theodore now, I’ve grown up with pets and understand how different their personalities, routines and needs can be. I’ve also looked after pets for friends and family over the years, and I’m someone people trust to be calm, reliable and attentive. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding and playtime to giving animals space when they need it, and I always try to make them feel safe, settled and well cared for while their owner is away. Because I work from home as a software engineer, I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care around my day. It’s also a lovely excuse to get out of the house and spend time with some furry company. I work from home as a software engineer, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and can usually fit drop-in visits and dog walks around my day during the week and at weekends. It also gives me a great excuse to get out of the house and spend time with some furry company. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and always happy to keep owners updated after visits so you know your pet is safe, happy and well looked after. I only offer drop-in visits and dog walking, so your pet can stay in the place where they feel most comfortable and settled. I know how important routine, familiarity and trust can be, especially for cats and for dogs who like their usual surroundings. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, playtime, toilet breaks, walks or simply giving your pet company and reassurance. My aim is always to help them feel relaxed, safe and well cared for while you’re away.

I love going on walks so I am happy to walk dogs I am happy to work around your schedule I always ask more questions than needed about your pets to make sure they safe and looked after. What matters to me most is that the animal are looked after and feel safe and secure

About: I've never personally owned a dog but I spent and still do spend almost every day at my grandparents house where they have always had at least one dog, currently, they have 2 and I've had to care for them on my own many times. I start college at the end of August but I have pretty much every single day of the summer free to care for your dog/dogs. As I care for my grandparents dogs, I'll describe their home instead of mine. I let them sit up on the couch and in bed, I feed them twice a day and walk them 3 times and have no trouble letting them out at any point, should they need it.

About: Life long pet owner, In my youth caring for CPL cats and walking the family’s dogs every day. Currently live with two lovely cats. Available for drop-ins and walks in and around Bishopton. I work on a flexible-schedule so I would be able to accommodate most pet care requirements. Early mornings or lunch time drop ins ard walks would be best. I would always remain vigilant and put the pet’s safety first. Make sure that requirements for the pet’s safety are communicated and that the environment is secure and suitable for proper care of your pets.

“Great walker, on time and available a lot.”
