Dog Walking & Pet Care in Finchley and Surrounding Areas
Calm, one-to-one care for dogs, cats and small pets
If you’re looking for a dog walker or pet care in Finchley, you’re likely trying to find someone local, reliable, and suited to your pet.
I provide calm, one-to-one dog walking, house sitting, cat visits and small animal care across Finchley and nearby areas. All dog walks are done on foot from your home.
I do not use vans or transport dogs by car.
This keeps things calmer, more predictable, and better suited to dogs who don’t cope well with busy or unfamiliar environments.
Who I work with
Most of the pets I care for need a quieter, more thoughtful approach.
That includes:
- dogs who don’t cope well in group walks
- nervous or anxious dogs
- reactive dogs who need space
- rescue dogs still settling in
- older pets who need a slower pace
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Support for nervous and reactive dogs

That might include:

- becoming overwhelmed outdoors
Keeping walks local and on foot helps reduce the number of things your dog needs to cope with.
