We have just made the decision to get a dog and are wondering about dog walking help. As I do not work regular days (any 3 in 5), I would need a flexible lunchtime dog walker who could come on the days I am out. Some weeks I will know this in advance, but at other times I will only know on the day - usually before 7:30. Would I have to change the way I work to fit with a dog walker - or are there any out there willing to provide flexible dog walking?

Hi we use Michelle Benson and her team http://anypetsittingandwalking.co.uk/contact/


She lives locally, has a fairly small team. She and the team are sensible and experienced. We used to have set days but when my work situation changed we started to use a more ad hoc arrangement although I can give her several days' notice. In emergencies, she has been accommodating at short notice although we haven't had to do this often. I would give her a call and have a chat.


The other thing to consider is the dog - they vary a lot in how long they can be left alone! We have ended up having to get a lot more walking than I anticipated as our dog gets anxious on her own. It is a substantial cost.

    • Point taken..I go 3-4 times a week and have done every week for several years however £115 a month is still a lot of money for many people (myself included) for a 'non essential' One can if one wishes excersise by running or Cycling, swimming once in a while. Gym membership IS a luxury...
    • Tawny owls are hooting in Dawsons Heights very near me. But very elusive birds. Sadly now on the amber list.  I have heard the owls every night for the past couple of weeks  It is good to know they are here. They are quite loud so I think they are very near. I have never seen an owl in the wild before and wish I  could  see them. 
    • Hi, looking for a 3-4yrs ski jacket if anyone has one they no longer need or would lend if they want it back for younger siblings in future years! Many thanks 
    • I used to hear at least one of those owls but haven’t for at least two years. 😕
