Dog Walking Wychavon

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I love spending time outside in nature, whether that’s going on long, energetic dog walks or just sitting in the garden playing with a pup. I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and high standard of care that I give to my own family pets. Outside of pet sitting, I hold a university degree in Marine Biology and am a qualified scuba diving instructor. Both have given me a deep respect for nature, professional first-aid awareness, and a proven track record of managing safety and responsibility under pressure. Experienced with All Breeds & Personalities Having grown up with my own dogs, I am entirely comfortable around any breed. I know firsthand that every single dog has their own unique quirks, routines, and personalities, and I pride myself on adapting to what makes your pet feel safest and happiest. I have experience looking after a variety of dogs and cats, particularly caring for them in the comfort of their own homes to keep their stress levels low while you are away. Handling Multiple Pets & High Responsibility I am incredibly comfortable looking after multiple dogs at the same time, ensuring group walks stay safe, controlled, and fun for every pup involved. My background with animals goes back a long way—I owned and cared for horses from the age of 12 to 18, and have ridden most of my life. That level of daily commitment taught me immense responsibility and gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behaviour. Senior & Medical Care If your pet requires a little extra attention, they are in safe hands. I have recent experience caring for an elderly dog with specific medical needs, including administering hard pills and medication via syringes. I am highly attentive to strict schedules and health routines. I have full, open availability until July 20th. After this date, I work a flexible part-time schedule of just four days a week, with very short shifts (either midday or evenings). This leaves me with plenty of open time during the week and occasional weekends to provide dedicated, reliable care tailored to your pet's schedule. In the Owner's Home Safety & Routine: My priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine to keep their stress levels low while you are away. I strictly follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, and house rules. Trust & Home Respect: I treat an owner's home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving, keep spaces clean, and never invite guests over. Constant Communication: I provide peace of mind by sending regular photo and video updates, letting owners know exactly how their pet is doing. Medical & Emergency Preparedness: With recent experience caring for elderly dogs requiring precise pill and syringe medication, I am highly attentive to health needs. If an emergency ever arises, my background as a scuba diving instructor means I am first-aid trained, calm under pressure, and ready to act responsibly by contacting the vet and the owner immediately. Out on Walks Environment & Focus: When walking dogs, my attention is entirely on them—no distractions or looking at my phone. I stay highly aware of our surroundings, keeping an eye out for other dogs, traffic, or hazards on the path. Leash Safety: Pets stay securely on their leashes at all times unless explicitly instructed otherwise by the owner in a fully secure, enclosed area.

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’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 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 😊

“Jacks been brilliant with my dog Billy. Always kept me informed on his walks and sent me some lovely videos. I definitely recommend jack, and would definitely use him again😊.”

“Holly is great! Our Labrador took to her straight away and it was obvious that Holly loved our Labrador too! Peace of mind that our lovely fur baby is in loving capable hands. Holly has grown up with dogs and has a lot of experience with all dogs but it’s good to know she has experience with Labradors too so a bonus!”

“Oz had a lovely time on his first walk with Marina and returned a very happy boy! Marina was really attentive with him, really friendly and asked lots of great questions before taking him out. We’ll definitely book Marina again ☺️ and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Alice! 👋🐾 I’ve always been the person my family and friends call when they need someone they can completely trust to care for their pets and home while they’re away. After years of looking after dogs, cats and homes for the people closest to me, I decided it was time to turn something I genuinely love into a professional service. As a dog owner myself (my energetic Springer Spaniel, Ernie, certainly keeps me on my toes!), I understand that every pet is unique. Some dogs thrive on long countryside adventures, while others are happiest with a gentle stroll and plenty of sniffing. I always tailor walks and care to suit your pet’s age, breed, energy levels and routine. Ernie happily walks for up to an hour, so I’m more than comfortable with active dogs, but I’m just as happy taking things at a slower pace for puppies, seniors or more relaxed companions. Outside of pet sitting, I work in creative production where organisation, communication and attention to detail are part of my everyday life. I’m also a volunteer with the British Red Cross Emergency Response Team, so remaining calm, dependable and prepared comes naturally. Whether I’m caring for your pets or your home, you can be confident everything will be looked after with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. What you can expect Every visit is centred around keeping your pet happy, comfortable and sticking to the routine they’re familiar with. Depending on your booking, this could include: 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s individual needs 🐾 Feeding, fresh water and administering medication if required (provided I’m given clear instructions) 🐾 Playtime, enrichment and plenty of fuss (if they enjoy it!) 🐾 Cleaning up after pets and keeping their living areas tidy 🐾 Lots of cuddles, companionship and reassurance while you’re away 🐾 Regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy If I’m staying in your home, I’ll also happily bring in post, water plants, put bins out, and leave everything clean, tidy and secure. Caring for different personalities Not every pet is instantly confident—and that’s absolutely okay. I take the time to let nervous or shy pets get to know me at their own pace and always use positive, patient handling. For energetic dogs, I’m happy to provide plenty of exercise, play and mental stimulation to keep them occupied. My priority is making sure every animal feels safe, respected and cared for as an individual. My aim is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, keep your home safe and well looked after, and ensure you return to happy pets and a home exactly as you left it. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! 🩷🐶 I work full-time but have a flexible hybrid schedule and work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, so I can offer plenty of company, walks, toilet breaks and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for evening visits, overnight stays and weekends. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding and making sure my own dog gets plenty of attention and stimulation. I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s hands, so I’ll always treat both with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks, sleeping arrangements and any specific instructions you leave. I’m careful with doors, gates and leads, and I’ll always make sure pets are safe and settled before leaving. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and will keep everything clean, tidy and secure. Most importantly, I’ll send regular photos and updates so you can relax while you’re away knowing everything is in safe hands.

About: New to the game of pet sitting because of a terrible experience with a cattery, want animals to feel safe and not stressed. What else can I say? I am currently working full time but doing 12 hour shifts so regularly only work 3 days a week but am looking to drop down hours to fulfil this even more. I am not offering any over night stay in my own home as there's no space or garden. I do have my own furbaby who stays indoors but has the run of the house at any given time.

About: I have always had pets since a young age, and often looked after them, along with helping my family when they have needed me to look after their own, both puppy and senior for long and short periods. I am currently a student looking to fill my holidays with helping pet owners the best I can. I can provide drop-ins, dog walks, and house sits when needed to make you and your pets lives the easiest and happiest it can be. As a student, I have long holidays where I can be available throughout the day to come and assist your needs. I can provide pet care throughout these times on weekdays and weekends where necessary. I have multiple dogs at home that I regularly look after and give love to. When caring for your pet, I like to give attention, love, and keep them company throughout the time needed.

“Leanna is very patient with Reggie who is a stubborn little sausage at times! The photos from their walks often make my day and I know that Reggie is in safe hands with Leanna :)”

About: Hi, I’m Adam! 🐾 I live in a rural cottage just outside Droitwich, with a large fully enclosed garden and countryside on my doorstep. I love looking after dogs, and have a greyhound of my own. I’ve started doing this to save for a house mortgage, but also because I genuinely love having dogs around me! Expect lots of quiet country walks, many treats and a quiet, safe and peaceful environment for your dog to feel relaxed and at home while you aren’t! Please do get in touch! I’m available from Thursday evenings through to Monday evenings, including every weekend. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get plenty of company, attention, playtime and walks throughout their stay. I’m also happy to accommodate holiday and longer stays, subject to availability. Your dog will stay in my peaceful rural cottage just outside Droitwich, with a large, fully enclosed garden where they can safely explore, play and relax. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give them plenty of company, attention and cuddles, while making sure they have lots of time to rest too. With beautiful countryside right on the doorstep, we can enjoy a lunchtime walk and plenty of fresh air — giving them a relaxed, homely stay while you’re away.!

About: Hi, I’m Naomi, I’m 37yo, taking a career break from the police and love animals. I’ve been fortunate to have been involved with horses for nearly 20years, used to have cats, have looked after several of my friend’s dogs and cats and would love to spend more time with our furry friends, and some of the not so furry! Have looked after horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep… Happy to help with exercise, medication factors, special requirements, picking up 💩 and of course lots of love and attention; if they want it! Making sure your animal knows it’s cared for and gets the odd treat 😀 I have my own transport and am willing to travel, just let me know. Have a couple of upcoming sits for August but just enquire :-) let me know what your animal needs and I’ll be there for them Happy to host, but I do have a 1 bed flat. I don’t have a garden but there is outdoor space and I can easily access plenty of outdoor green space

About: Hi, I’m 25 and live in my own home with my boyfriend Jack and our Dutch Shepherd, Jett, who is a huge part of our lives and truly our pride and joy. I work from home full-time, which means I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. I offer dog sitting and doggy daycare in my home, dog walking and drop-in visits, giving you flexible options depending on what your dog needs. I don’t currently offer overnight boarding, as I feel many dogs are more comfortable and settled either spending the day with me or staying in their own familiar home overnight. My boyfriend has experience with obedience training, and together we’ve put a lot of time and effort into training Jett, including working on his reactivity and teaching him a variety of commands and tricks. This has given us a good understanding of the importance of patience, consistency and positive training when caring for dogs. I’ve also grown up around dogs, including a Beagle, American Bulldog and Cocker Spaniel, so I’m familiar with different breeds, personalities and the different ways dogs can behave. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs, taken them for walks and looked after them when needed. Having Jett of our own has given me even more hands-on experience and taught me how important it is to understand each dog as an individual. Having recently looked for a dog sitter ourselves, I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your dog. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality and needs, and I’ll always do my best to keep things consistent and make them feel comfortable and settled. Whether your dog needs some company while you’re at work, a good walk, a drop-in visit or somewhere to spend the day, I aim to provide a calm, safe and loving environment where they’ll receive plenty of attention and care. Your dog will be treated as one of the family, with their wellbeing, comfort and happiness always being my priority. Most importantly, I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, caring and trustworthy hands. At home, we follow a structured but relaxed routine, and dogs staying with us for daycare can easily fit into our day. Our mornings start early, with my boyfriend getting up at around 5:30am and letting Jett out for a toilet break, followed by his morning walk around 30 minutes later. Once we’re back home, Jett has his breakfast and settles into a calm morning routine with me while I work from home. As I work from home every day, dogs in our care are never left alone and will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. They’re welcome to relax with me while I work, have cuddles, play with toys or simply settle down for a nap. We have a calm home environment and are happy to follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. Jett is a very affectionate dog who loves being around us and enjoys cuddles, playtime and relaxing at home. He has plenty of toys and enjoys interactive play throughout the day. Due to Jett being an active breed, we have a good amount of exercise built into our routine, including a mid-day walk and a longer evening walk. However, we always take each dog’s individual age, breed, energy levels and needs into consideration rather than expecting every dog to follow Jett’s routine. We’re also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, toilet and walking schedule wherever possible, so they can enjoy a familiar routine while they’re with us. At weekends, we enjoy exploring local woods, hills and other dog-friendly places, as well as spending relaxed time at home and in the garden. We can also provide dog walking and drop-in visits if your dog would be happier staying in their own home. Our aim is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe and included, whether they’re spending the day with us or we’re visiting them in their own home. Every dog is treated as an individual, with plenty of love, attention and care throughout their time with us. As mentioned, I work from home full-time, so dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, so I always aim to follow each dog’s individual routine as closely as possible. This includes their usual feeding times, toilet breaks, walks, rest periods and any training or behavioural needs. I believe consistency is really important in helping dogs feel comfortable and settled, particularly when they are spending time away from their owners. For dogs attending daycare or being cared for in my home, there is a safe and relaxed environment where they can rest, play, have cuddles and receive plenty of interaction throughout the day. I’m happy to provide toys and enrichment suited to each dog, while also making sure they have quiet time when they need it. Our own dog, Jett, is used to being around other dogs, but I understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. Any introductions are handled carefully and gradually, with the dogs’ individual needs and safety always coming first. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age, breed, energy levels and ability. This could be a shorter local walk, a longer outing or simply some play and mental stimulation at home, depending on what is most appropriate for them. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits, so if your dog is more comfortable staying in their own home, I can provide care in their familiar environment instead. My aim is to provide reliable, caring and personalised support, whether your dog is spending the day with me, going out for a walk or receiving a visit at home. I want every owner to have complete peace of mind knowing their dog is being treated with the same care and attention I would want for Jett.

“Katie took Frankie out for a walk, he had to be encouraged as he hates the rain! They got on really well and happy that Katie can deal with Frankie’s little quirks.”

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 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: I absolutely adore animals, and my gentle giant Loki and I love welcoming extra furry (and feathered!) friends into our world. Whether it's a quick pop-in to check on your pet, a refreshing walk, or staying over to keep them comfortable in their own home, I treat every animal with the same care and patience I give my own. At home, I share my life with Loki (a giant breed dog), 2 cats, 2 chickens, and 3 quail, so I'm genuinely comfortable with all kinds of animals and their quirks, big, small, feathered, or four-legged. As a giant breed owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to hand over care of a large or strong dog, and I bring that same calm, confident energy to pets of every size. I live in the countryside and spend much of my own time outdoors, so walks are never rushed. I know beautiful routes right from the front door, plus a short drive to woodlands, parks, and National Trust grounds 🌳. For house sitting and pop-ins, I focus on keeping your pet's routine consistent and stress-free, so they feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet isn't just "looked after" with me. They're cared for the way I'd want mine cared for. I work from home so your pet will always have some company. I can accommodate your special pet care needs and happy to provide whatever you need! I have a gated courtyard and a large grassy garden for your pets to enjoy! Your pet will be welcomed into our loving, caring and secure family cottage.
