Dog Walking in Winchester

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups at every stage of life — from boisterous puppies to gentle senior companions. I co-parent Albus, my cheeky and affectionate French Bulldog(my availability is based on when Albus is NOT with me, and staying at his Dad’s house), and before him shared life with Bobby, my much-loved Labrador who I cared for through his golden years until he crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023. My background as a registered nurse means I bring patience, reliability, and a calm, caring approach to every dog I look after. I’m confident supporting dogs with different needs, whether it’s keeping up with playful pups, providing extra TLC for seniors, or making sure routines are followed to the letter. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with plenty of cuddles, walks, and care. I work from home, which means I can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Having a furry companion is the perfect excuse to step away from my desk for regular walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m flexible with timings and can easily fit in potty breaks, feeding, and exercise to match your dog’s usual routine — and with Mondays off, I can offer even more quality time and longer adventures to start the week. In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. I create a safe, comfortable space with plenty of snuggly spots to rest, fresh water always available, and secure doors and garden access so they can explore safely. I keep to each dog’s usual feeding and walking routine to help them feel at home, and I’m always nearby to supervise playtime and make sure they’re happy and relaxed. Because I work from home (and have Mondays off), your dog will have company most of the day — whether that’s curled up at my feet while I work or out enjoying walks together.

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for the pets of family and friends including dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m a huge dog lover, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. They can expect daily walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or I can stick to a specific routine if preferred! I’m attentive, patient, and will ensure your pets feel safe and loved in the absence of their family. I have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This flexibility allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits throughout the day. I love spending time with dogs, and since I’m not able to have one of my own right now, caring for other people’s pets is something I enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can maintain consistency and help them feel secure.

“Hilary has walked Corby twice now and has been fantastic. Always leaving detailed reports and sending photos, and clearly our dog Corby loves to see her! We will continue to book Hilary and would highly recommend.”

About: With over 4 years of animal and pet care experience I regularly look after a number of local dogs by feeding ,walking and caring for them in their home as such I am comfortable in assessing different dogs needs. Currently I am on a gap year before hopefully studying veterinary medicine at university. I regularly volunteer at a city farm where I care for a wide range of animals from chickens and horses to reptiles so am very experienced in animal handling . I have also completed multiple placements at working farms, yards and vet clinics so no matter what age or size your fury friend is or any special needs they may have I am confident in my ability to provide a safe and loving environment for them. I currently work part-time so only have Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays completely free during the day but am available from 6:30pm any evening. But please get in touch as I can be flexible with my shifts. I will tailor myself to fit your animals needs, as such I am happy to run around and play or snuggle on the sofa. My aim is to care for your pet just as you would, providing a safe and secure environment for them and will follow any instructions given. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos of your furry friend if wanted. Your pets health and well-being is my number one priority.

“Beth was so lovely. A real dog person, she engaged with my dog straight away and had some lovely ideas of where to walk him. She also gave his feet a wash when he came back which was such a bonus! Will use her again, so glad I found Beth!”

About: I have lived with, cared for, and worked with dogs all over the world, including in Mexico, Galapagos and Thailand! I am very happy working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have recently arrived home in England permanently after a few years living abroad. My schedule is therefore extremely open right now! Happy to work weekdays and weekends. I will be starting a new job in April however that requires me in the office 2/3x a week but I am happy to work around this! I am happy to care for your dog however you see fit and as you normally do. If you would like me to help with training or tricks i am willing to help out there too.

“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.”

About: Love looking after dogs and love getting my steps and whilst walking so mixing the two together should be a real easy task for me. Although I’ve never had a dog but I was really really good with my exes late dog who are used to housesit for all the time when they went away. As someone who has never owned a dog I really enjoyed spending time with a companion that I could play a mess around with. Me looking after someone’s pet Will be when I get time and only really can do it on my days off, my days off vary because I worked four shifts on two days off so every week the days off are not the same. I will respect the pet in the same way the owner does and how they want me to as at the end of the day. It’s not my pet, but I will treat it like it is my own when I am looking after it.

“Dennis had the best time with Jasmine on his walk, he has been looking out the window for her ever since she dropped him off :) We've booked in more dates for them to hang out together already.”

About: I have been a dog owner for over twenty years and currently have a cockapoo called Rosie who is 4 years old. I have completed a course on pet care which includes first aid I am available every day apart from Tuesdays and Saturdays. I have transport and can travel. I can come to you or you can come to me I offer dog walking and pet services such as dog boarding, pet sitting, feeding and pop ins, vet visits. I live in a house with a secure fenced garden

“Will has been absolutely fantastic with my dog Charlie, a large chocolate Labrador who can be a bit challenging to walk due to his size and strength. Will handled him with confidence and care, and it was clear right away that he’s experienced and great with dogs. He was always punctual and very flexible with timing—especially on hotter days, when he adjusted the walks to make sure Charlie stayed safe and comfortable. I really appreciated that level of thoughtfulness. Reliable, friendly, and genuinely great with dogs—Will is someone I’d highly recommend. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

About: Hello, I’m Lisa and I’ve lived with and taken care of all manner of animals my whole life. I grew up on farms with chickens, dogs, cats, and cared for my own horses for years. I’ve grown up alongside my family dog Oscar, the tibetan terrier and his dearly missed brother Arlo, the cocker spaniel. Oscar has since gained a new baby brother in Bruno, the cockerpoo, who exists to be his karma for terrorising Arlo when he was younger. I have a lot of experience caring for both high and low energy dogs, and have also cared for cats - pet sitting for family friends when they’re away from home. I moved away from my family home, and have had to leave the family pets behind, hence why I am now searching for the opportunity to care for animals, as I have not yet gotten the chance to adopt a new family member! I work shifts at my work so my availability varies. Days off vary between weekends and weekdays, and I am either working day shifts or late shifts. I live in a 2-bedroom house with an enclosed garden, perfect for both dogs and cats. I am walking distance from several parks in the Chandler’s Ford area and have my own transportation so I am able to travel if required.

About: We have owned dogs throughout both of our lives and have a 2 year old Cockapoo called Bella. She is great company and loves other dogs! We have a baby who absolutely loves Bella and loves to try and play with her. My love for dogs inspired me to do a course in dog grooming so I'm a qualified groomer :) I'm flexible to look after your pooch and I enjoy lots of walking! Pete is around in the evening's, weekends and also the school holidays as he is a teacher. We have a secure, fenced garden that your dog can enjoy! Bella would love to play and keep your dog company as much as we will!

About: Hi I’m Mykala — a professional and friendly pet sitter and dog walker based in Eastleigh and surrounding areas. I’ve gained hands on experience through working at dog daycare, boarding and training dogs for college and volunteering at vets, which helped me build a solid understanding of dog behaviour, body language and basic obedience. I’ve just finished my 1st year veterinary nursing but am taking a break to focus on more on my business. I have experience with old, young, reactive and everything in between. As this is my full-time job. I may occasionally need to step out briefly to attend to other clients during the day. If your pet has separation anxiety or requires constant care and can’t be left alone more than a couple hours, I’m still more than happy to help, this would simply be shown in a higher price to accommodate for the additional time and attention they need. I am able to administer medication if needed, I’m currently doing my canine first aid qualification and have basic animal behaviour qualification for the animals who need extra care and support

About: Hi, I’m Sandra I spent a lot of my childhood years on my grandparents’ working farm and have been surrounded by animals my whole life. My love for them has shaped who I am today. I grew up with a Staffy who was my best friend until his passing at 16, and later helped care for my family’s Dogue de Bordeaux and Cocker Spaniel. Today, I share my home with two dogs — a 70kg Cane Corso and a senior Labrador — so I have plenty of hands-on experience with large, strong breeds as well as puppies and older dogs. I offer flexibility to work around your schedule and always do my best to help however I can. I know it can feel daunting to trust someone new with your pets, so I promise to treat both your pets and your home with the same love, care, and respect I give my own.😊 I am available and flexible , and I am happy to adjust any drop in visits or dog walks where possible to fit your schedule, be it to let your pet out for a toilet break, or for a walk, just get in touch and I’ll be happy to help. I will follow your instructions carefully for feeding (inc administering medicine), playtime, and walks, and respect your home and routines. I’ll make sure your pet feels happy and secure, clean up after them as needed, and can send you photo or video updates so you know they’re well cared for while you’re away.

“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!”

“Barney is very calm and clearly comfortable with Dogs and whilst Dolly was obvious slightly anxious she was soon calm and happy”
