Dog Walking in West Somerset

About: After leaving the nursing profession 10 years I set up my own dog walking and boarding business in London and had many regular clients for 8 years. Eventfully I moved up to Northumberland where there was little need for dog day care.... In 2021 I then moved to Somerset and once again have the time to dedicate my time caring for dogs. I am a retired nurse, so any dogs who come for day care or home boarding stay will never be left on their own. I have 2 Maltese terriers, one is 13, the 11. They are well used to other dogs in their home and are very sweet natured... Home from home comfort is offered! I have a large fenced and hedged front an back garden. I have access to some of the loveliest walks in Somerset from the Quantocks to Exmoor.

About: I have have lived and looked after animals for as long as I can remember, all my friends and family trust me to look after their pets with confidence, I love all animals all shapes and sizes I work half the week from home, days I work away I am back by 4pm, and I’m available most weekends. Early walks, midday walks or evening walks all work for me! I am a new home owner and do not yet have my own fur baby but I have a garden which is all secure and fenced, and I do not live near the main road, or any other dangers/worries

About: I have experience with most breeds of dogs and cats (big and small)! This involves grooming, giving meds to senior felines and canines and weaning puppies from 3 weeks of age! I am also capable of training basic tricks from scratch, especially to younger dogs :) I’ve worked in a Dog Groomers for a few years now which has made me extremely patient meaning I can cope well with all types of temperaments and learnt to respect the boundaries of animals. My friends and family have trusted me plenty of times to walk, feed, bathe and care for their pets overnight, as they know I’ll provide them with updates throughout! I’ve been bonding and caring for my rescue cat since I was 4 years old. She means everything to me and she’s still here 18 years later happy as Larry! Having this strong bond with her has gained me an understanding of how important a pet’s happiness is to their owner, so I’d love to be apart of that whilst you are away! I have just graduated from University with a degree in Zoology, but I am now based in Minehead for work, however the rota changes each week. Due to this, I would have to play it by ear on availability but will try my best to work around the hours I do with you! I’m an active person so my walks can range from 30 minutes to a couple hours depending on the breed and your preference, I’m also capable of walking multiple dogs at a time :) After each drop in, walk or house sit I will ensure your home is left tidy and your pet is left happy! If you need me to crate your pet at any time, just let me know! You will receive regular photo updates of your pets whilst you’re gone if this is of interest to you (I have interest in animal photography so it would be my pleasure!) :)

About: I’ve house sat since I was 18 years old, from sheep to chickens, dogs, cats and horses; I’m very used to caring for all animals and their individual needs. I have a flexible working pattern so I am available to give your pets all the attention and care they require whilst you are away from home I care for the pets in my care as wished by the pet owner so that the pet can remain as happy and settled as possible.

“Hannah was excellent. We booked her for the second time and everything was again perfect. She gave a walk to Frey (our Siberian Husky). Frey was very happy to see her. She arrived on time and managed to walk our little Husky puppy in some areas where he never went which is not an easy task. We recommend Hannah and we will definitely book her in the future.”

About: Always had dogs in our family, moved out 10 years ago and had my own dog, but after relationship breakdown I no longer have the dog and miss the companionship and caring for a dog, but can’t have my own again at the moment. I only work 3 days a week in the weekend, so have plenty of time for cuddles, walks and play time. Have plenty of green space and fields within a 5 minute walk too I have a metal fenced garden, plenty of indoor space too and dog friendly fields within a 5 minute walk. Secure building away from the main road

About: I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for a variety of dog breeds, from gentle Great Danes to playful little sausage dogs. I absolutely adore dogs—they bring me so much happiness, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, I treat every pup like part of the family. Giving them a home away from home isn’t just my job—it’s something I genuinely love doing. As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dog walks throughout the day. Since I work from home and spend most of my time there, I can easily fit in lunchtime walks, evening strolls, or whatever best suits your pup’s routine. Whether it’s a quick midday outing or a longer walk after work, I’m happy to provide regular exercise and company for your dog. It fits perfectly into my lifestyle—and I genuinely love every moment of it! As someone who truly cares about animals, safety and trust are always my top priorities. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and attentive to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, keeping a close eye during walks, or simply giving them comfort while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. With me, your furry friend will always be in safe and loving hands.

“Sean is friendly and professional, and our labrador loved him right away. It's clear when meeting Sean that he cares about the animals he works with. We are thrilled to have found someone we feel we can trust with our dog.”

“Nicky was absolutely fantastic. We came down for a wedding so she had both the bride and grooms dog Roo and Pip. They had sn amazing time together. Nicky took them for amazing walks in both countryside and on the beach. Nicky was so flexible and her love of all animals was obvious. We were very lucky and privileged to find Nicky and Pip will have lots of happy memories of his mini break”

About: I’ve taken care of two crazy black Labradors since I was 13 years old. I had so much fun teaching them tricks and taking them for swims in the sea. Now I’m at university I miss being around and caring for pets so much and the thing I looked forwards to most about going home is seeing them. I’m currently at Exeter University studying Medicine. Whilst the course is intense I don’t have many in person contact sessions or lectures and so I am able to schedule my studies so that I’ll have lots of free time to dog sitting /walking . In a pet owners home I will make sure I listen and follow any instructions that are given to me by the owner to ensure the safety of the pet.
