Hi, I’m Charlotte! 🐾

I’m currently training to become a paramedic, and on my days off I’d love nothing more than to spend some of that time caring for your best friends! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and genuinely believe they deserve the same patience, attention and affection that we give our own family.

I grew up with a beautiful Staffy called Malcolm, who I absolutely adored. For the last six years before he crossed the rainbow bridge, Malcolm often accompanied me on walks with other dogs I looked after while their owners were working or away. I loved having him by my side and getting to know all of their different personalities, which is a big part of why I’d love to continue doing this.

I’m responsible, caring and energetic, and I’m happiest outdoors - so dog walking is the perfect way to combine that with my love of animals. A typical walk with me starts with making sure your dog is happy, comfortable and safely secured before we head out. We’ll then enjoy a walk suited to their age, energy levels and personality, with plenty of time for sniffing, exploring and having fun. Once we’re back, I’ll make sure they’re safely settled before heading off.

I’m happy to care for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities. If your dog is nervous, reactive or has particular needs, please let me know beforehand so we can discuss what works best for them. I’m happy to take things at their pace and won’t put them into situations they’re uncomfortable with. I’m also comfortable following your instructions around recall, leads, treats, medication and anything else that helps keep them happy and safe.

As I’m training to become a paramedic, I’m used to staying calm and thinking clearly in unexpected situations. Your dog’s safety is always my priority, and in an emergency I would follow any information or emergency plan you’ve provided and seek appropriate veterinary help immediately.

I work a 4-on, 4-off shift pattern, but my shifts rotate, meaning my four days off alternate and aren’t always the same days each week. My availability therefore varies, but I have lovely blocks of four days where I can dedicate my time to your pets. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and do my best to work around your needs.

Whether your dog needs a 30-minute stroll or a longer 60-minute adventure, I’d love the opportunity to give them some exercise, attention, affection and plenty of fuss while you’re busy. 🐶🌻
