Dog Walking in Wychavon

About: I'm a kind and patient individual with life long experience of pet ownership (currently have a cocker spaniel and two Somali cats). With a level 3 qualification in animal management, my animal care experience also shows with previous employment within a safari park and boarding cattery/kennels. Hobbies and interests also include pedigree cat showing, insect rearing and wildlife/bird watching. I currently work part time, so have plenty of day time availablity to pet sit and dog walk. My weekday availability is during 9am-2pm, and I can commit to anytime on Saturdays. For dog walking, leads will always be used on roads and I will go by your own personal recommendations on whether to use them at any other time. This will also include any preferences that you know your dog has themselves. For pet sitting, I am only able to work with your home setting, so will go through your personal safety preferences upon meeting you.

About: I have always been a dog lover. Had my own labrador, Evie, who sadly passed away a few years ago. Recently plucked up the courage to have a new dog, Lady, who is a 16 month cockapoo and it has made me realise how much I had missed having dogs in my life! I enjoy every single moment with her on my days off from being a pediatric nurse. We enjoy long walks in the rural countryside and woodland areas every day together and also enjoy obedience training too. I work 30 hours per week, a mixture of 3 days/ nights per week and these days vary on a week to week basis. I receive my shift pattern a couple of months in advance. Pet are cared for by myself with the same love and attention I provide to the other members of my family. Lots of love, exercise and cuddles 😊

I have work experience at a veterinary practice, volunteer lambing and a range of handling experience of both domestic and exotic animals. I have 2 pets, a cat called Mika and a Golden Retriever called Lomby. Previously I have dog walked, pet sat and house sat. Sam- From a young age I’ve been relied upon by people in my local area to pet sit, house sit and provide dog walking services. I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens and rabbits. Also I have two dogs of my own, both black labs, called Poppy and Olive. We are both on a gap year so have schedules that are flexible. Sam is going to drama school in September but Alice remains available. We are willing to do weekdays, weekends and overnight care. Through Alice’s Diploma she has experience in a variety of animal enclosures and maintenance of environment, as well as dog cpr. We will strive to make sure your pet/pets has safe, comfortable, positive experience in our care. We look forward to hearing from you.

About: I’ve always had a big love for animals! I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, birds and rabbits, so being around pets feels like home to me. I’ve taken care of friends’ and family’s pets over the years, and they’ve always trusted me to give their furry friends lots of love and attention. I’ll care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. Your pets will always be a priority for me. I’ll plan my day around their needs to make sure they’re happy, comfortable and cared for like my own. I treat every pet with love and care, keeping their routine the same and giving them lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after

About: I am an self-employed pet sitter with track record of successful house sitting and dog walking engagements. My experience extends to diverse canine companions, including large breeds such as the American Akita, as well as dogs necessitating specialized attention (like separation anxiety or dogs reluctance to interact with unfamiliar individuals). With a proven record of delivering reliable care and unwavering commitment to the well-being of every canine entrusted to my care, I consistently strive to exceed expectations and maintain an atmosphere of trust and comfort for both pets and their owners. I am working as a manager for over 4 years, that makes me behave professionally, with good manners and always reliable. I am doing night shifts 4 times a week with 3 days off. I uphold the belief that every dog merits a bespoke and attentive care regimen aligned with their distinct requirements and personality traits. As such, I devote considerable time to familiarizing myself with each dog's unique temperament, energy levels, and preferences, thus ensuring their experience is flawlessly tailored to meet their specific needs.

About: I have had dogs most of my life, We had a jack russell called Alfie for 16 years old. We sadly had to having him put to sleep in September. He was deaf and has arthritis in his spine. So I am used to senior care with dogs. We have recently got a new puppy called Nellie a miniature dachshund, it is so nice to hear a dog in our home again. I currently work two nights a week, but happy to move my shifts around to help out looking after your pet. I do have a child at first school so will have to do pick up and drop off. When I meet you, I would ask you a few questions about your pet so I can do exactly what you do with them. Like what walks they enjoy and what time they have their food and if they’re happy with cuddles or just like their own space.

“Thanks for walking Rio”

About: I am a second year student Veterinary Nurse and have worked as a Veterinary Nurse Assistant. Caring for all animals is my passion, loving them and all of their needs. I adjust around the pets normal routine. I have lived with animals my whole life ranging from, dogs and cats to chickens, ducks and guinea pigs and everyday is never the same. I love to care for animals playing, feeding and especially cuddling! I tend to care for pets more often in their own homes as they are always happier and more relaxed. When I care for pets in my home, I stick to the owner’s preference, if they are crate trained, I keep them crate trained in my home. If they are used to sleeping on their owners beds, they sleep on the bed. I live in a quiet village away from busy roads and have a fenced in garden.

About: I’m retired, my partner is a WFM, Ellie is our own little deaf dog, Percy and Pip (our cats) live here, mostly out of sight. We are pet lovers! I am 100% flexible to suit the dog owner.

We walk our own dog twice a day, we can give your pet all the time it needs. Our pets roam the house and garden.

About: I currently work at a vet practice - I love cuddling pets everyday! I unfortunately lost my dog at the start of the year so I am looking to fill the hole with cuddles and pet sits! I’m currently working around 32 hours a week, so I can be available for morning and evening drop ins. I don’t work the weekends so I can be available full time then. I feel pets are better in their own environment so I prefer coming to their homes to sit! I can crate difficult dogs if needed :)

About: Having been surrounded by pets my entire life, I've developed a deep love and understanding for all animals. My experience ranges from my home pets , family pets , friends pets and in the last 2 years local pets. This lifelong passion and hands-on experience set me apart, ensuring your pet receives the utmost care and affection. I’m currently on summer holidays i go to college and am returning in september but as it’s my 3rd year i don’t have to be in as much so still have flexible hours when i’m back at college. I work Friday and Saturday at a cafe in Cleeve called Bar no9 8-4pm so those are my only difficult days as are unable to do the day time. Any other day is perfectly fine! Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I ensure a secure environment by maintaining constant supervision, using reliable leashes and harnesses ( that you provide) , and being attentive to each pet's specific needs. I am about to do a pets first aid course and i stay vigilant during walks and sitting sessions to prevent any potential hazards. You can trust that your beloved pet will be in caring and capable hands.

About: I am currently studying Bio-Veterinary Science and have spent the past three years working alongside veterinarians as a helper as part of my course, gaining valuable hands-on experience in animal care. I have also worked at a dog kennel since the age of 15, giving me over five years of practical experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. On top of this, I have always had a pet dog of my own, so caring for animals comes naturally to me I truly understand the love, attention, and patience they deserve. I would give them love and attention whilst your out and walk, feed and look after your loving animals ! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine as I only attend university three days a week, and each of those days I’m only in for about an hour. This means I have plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need throughout the day. In my home, pets will have access to a safe and secure garden ( fenced ) where they can play and enjoy fresh air. I make sure they get regular walks, tailored to their energy levels and needs, along with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding times, walks, or any special instructions—so pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own space.

About: I have taken care of many breeds since a young age and have been a volunteer for Guide Dogs for the Blind for 15 years. I currently work a flexible part time job and can fit in around your pets schedule. I am available all week and weekends with given notice I have a small fenced outdoor space for toileting, I also live next door to two parks and the Edgbaston reservoir.

About: Throughout my 20 years of life we’ve had various family pets, including dogs (always), guinea pigs and fish. I’ve played an active part in looking after them all over the years, and also looked after neighbours’ pets (also including cats) from time to time. I am currently a university student, so as of right now I have most of my summer free! I am happy to work all week. I am willing to take advice for each pet I look after as I appreciate that every animal has different personalities and different needs and requirements.
