Sharon's Dog Walks and Animal Care
| Hello, I'm a professional dog walker and animal carer - this is my only job and I'm fully insured (for emergency vet care, loss of keys, etc). My overall concern is the quality of the care provided for the animals I'm looking after and providing a service which owners are happy with. I'm a member of the Pet Professional Network, for pet professionals adopting only kind and ethical methods (force- and fear-free). Combining my love of nature and walking, dogs and other animals, I have many years' experience of walking the countryside with canine companions - my own best friends as well as other people's. I also love cats, and especially enjoy getting to know them as individuals. Over the years, I've also cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, tortoises, chickens, ducks and ferrets. Before I began to work full time with animals, I worked for more than a decade in child protection. I love the lifestyle change, and alongside the hands on work, I'm enjoying learning all I can.

Samantha’s pet services
| I’m very good with animals and used to have a family dog called Leo who we sadly lost back in 2019. I’m happy walking peoples dogs for them if they need the help and to also look after them overnight. I can also look after cats. It’s easier if you leave your dog with me at my place overnight just as I prefer that

Passionate pet carer providing top-quality care, treating your pets as if they were my own.
| Skills and Experience in Animal Care and Dog Training I have gained comprehensive knowledge and practical skills through completing a Diploma in Animal Care and Management. For the past 17 years, I have actively participated in dog agility competitions, working with multiple dogs and competing at a high level, including at Crufts. In addition to competing, I regularly assist with running the rings at shows, which involves extensive interaction with dog owners and their dogs of various breeds. This experience has strengthened my ability to handle dogs in a variety of environments and enhanced my communication and teamwork skills. As a dedicated dog owner, I have trained and worked with high-energy border collies as well as rescue dogs with behavioral challenges. These challenges have included reactivity, resource guarding, possessiveness, and fear-based behaviors. Through these experiences, I have honed my understanding of canine body language, social cues, and effective training techniques.

Hilary hasn’t looked after our dogs yet but we had a meet & greet today where she demonstrated she’s clearly very experienced with dogs. My three were lying quietly & relaxed very quickly. I feel sure Hilary will care for them & give our little softy Oz some extra special cuddles while we are away "

I started providing pet care services because pets have always meant a great deal to me and my own personal experience is that finding the best care for our pets is very important. I know that your pet is one of the most important members of your household and whilst there is little doubt that you are the most qualified person to be overseeing their exercise and training regimes, due to your busy social and professional diary, you cannot always be at their beck and call. I treat every dog as if it was my own. So while your busy life takes you here, there and everywhere, your pet is in the best possible hands: being walked by a reliable and responsible walker, playing games, having fun in the park and being cuddled silly. Walks are mostly done one-to-one, occasionally in very small groups at your approval, ensuring that they receive the undivided attention they deserve. I am local to your area, passionate about dogs, dedicated to my job and extremely reliable. I am insured, DBS checked and registered with Durham County Council.

Dogs, cats and horses = very keen to get involved!
| Dogs, cats or horses and you will have my full attention! I have been dog/cat sitting for a year between other jobs and have also worked at stables during my childhood as I'm a keen rider and enjoy being around horses. Although I've only mentioned three animals above I would enjoy looking after absolutely anything! I'm going to Durham University and not only do I want to earn some money but I'm also looking for some pet companionship along the way as I will really miss my dog at home! I'm a keen walker (with or without a furry companion) so would also enjoy another excuse to get into nature and have some fun :)
