Dog Walking in Essex

“Lady was excellent - she has trouble entering our apartment due to a front desk error but she was in contact with me and so patient. I'm looking forward to her meeting Lexie in the future for a walk!”

“AMAZING! Great communication, my pup loves seeing her and spending time with her and she keeps him fresh on his skills!! It's so great to have found a fellow puppy raiser-- even though Potter is no longer in training, Bridget was easily able to pick up on his foundational skills and knowledge without me telling her and it's great for Potter to be able to practice and use some of that, even if it's just to work his brain and tire him out a little more!”

“Kaitlyn has been a wonderful addition to the pack. She is always responsive and my doggies love her! I would recommend her to any of my friends as she was been trustworthy and compensate with my fur babies.”

Michael R.

“We have been working with Carol now for several weeks. We’d been looking for someone who could help walk our high energy pup during long work weeks so he wouldn’t end up alone all day. When we had a last minute cancellation, Carol came out of no where like a super hero. Safe to say, we have never looked for anyone else. Carol has loved our pup and even her name makes his tail wag. She’s always on time, always super communicative and always does an amazing job. Thanks, Carol!”

About: I have had animals throughout my whole life. The animal I’ve had with me the longest is my 15 year old chihuahua. I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I grew up with him and I take really good care of him. He’s very healthy and also very spoiled. As of right now I’m only doing the dog walking service and the dog and cat drop ins. I am available anytime as of right now. I will give them lots of attention and love. If they have certain times they eat at I will feed them at those times. Whenever they need to go potty I will let them out if there is a fenced yard or I will walk them if there is not a fenced yard.

“My hero! A super last minute booking and she did a great job.”

“Although he is new to this, Erica is great with Cooper. She is timely and allows him to get out his curiosity by allowing him a few moments to explore the world around him. She is very patient and ALWAYS sends the best updates and photos. We truly appreciate her!”

About: Hi! I'm Vince. I'm a 24 year old college student & I have a life time of experience taking care of dogs and other animals of all sorts. I've been working with Rover for about 2 years now. I love animals, dogs especially, and I can take care of feeding, walking and bathing. We have a somewhat small yard, but it's big enough for your dog to run around in, and I'll usually take them for 2-4 walks a day, depending on your instruction. As stated on my profile, I'm willing to take care of boarding, drop-in visits, walking, and overnight stays/drop-ins at your place, if necessary. Don't hesitate to contact me, I'll make sure your pup is happy and gets plenty of attention! :)

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember—growing up with cats, dogs, fish, and even guinea pigs taught me early on how to love and care for pets of all kinds. I’m truly passionate about animals and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Whether your pet needs long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just a quiet companion, I’m here to give them the care and comfort they deserve. I always follow the owner’s preferences closely—so whether it’s cuddles or treats, your pet will be cared for exactly how you want! Hi there! I’m a dedicated animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry (or feathered!) friends, I treat each pet like family—with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. One thing that sets me apart is my flexible schedule—I’m currently available most days and times, which means I can provide consistent, attentive care while you’re at work, out of town, or just need a helping hand. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’m here to make life easier for you—and more fun for your pet! Safety is always my top priority. Just like I do with my own cats, I make sure every pet in my care is secure—whether it’s keeping them safely inside a fenced yard, staying close during walks, or keeping a watchful eye in any environment. I always stay aware of my surroundings and ensure your pet is never out of sight or at risk.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 3 + years for my friends. I am happy to help take care of your dogs or house sit when you need some extra hands. I work remotely for a private jet company, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care. My job involves varying hours, and I often have downtime between flights, making it easy for me to dedicate time to walking, sitting, and caring for pets. On days when I’m in the office or traveling, I can plan my pet care activities around my work commitments. This means I can offer both midday walks and longer play sessions during the mornings and evenings when I’m available. My flexible schedule enables me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need, regardless of my work hours. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I’m committed to providing the best care possible while fitting seamlessly into my daily life. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m excited to create a caring and reliable routine for them! When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and secure while their owners are away. Here’s how I care for pets in each setting: In My Home: I provide a welcoming and pet-friendly environment, with plenty of space for your pet to play, relax, and sleep. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure the pet feels at ease. Additionally, I closely monitor their behavior and well-being, making adjustments to their schedule as needed. In Your Home: When pet-sitting in a client’s home, I ensure I respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide. I keep the pet’s environment clean, administer any medications if necessary, and make sure they get regular meals, walks, and playtime. I also provide companionship and comfort, especially if the pet is feeling anxious or lonely. I make sure the house is secure and maintain any other tasks requested by the client, such as collecting mail or watering plants. No matter the setting, I always make sure pets are treated with care and kindness, and I keep their owners updated with photos, videos, and messages to provide peace of mind.

About: I have been caring for various types of pets for over 40 years. Mostly dogs. I'm very experienced with senior dogs as well as puppies and everything in-between. I can even care for your tropical and saltwater fishies! Recently retired with all the time in the world to be home and available to your babies. I couldn't truly relax on vacation unless I was completely confident that my babies were loved, protected and spoiled with attention and love. This is what I will deliver. I know the drill on feeding, potty, meds, grooming(not professional just basic) and play, exercise, bedtime routines.....you name it! I can't wait to meet all my new friends. I'm available everyday and most holidays. Being retired really lets me be flexible. I do travel a few times a year for vacation and visiting family. Otherwise I will be available, often times on short notice. I have a small yard with a tall fence and a nice deck for lounging. I also love to take length appropriate walks relative to the dogs needs. Rain or shine.

“Happy to use Victoria again to watch after my older dog, Canyon. She was communicative and flexible when we had some issues that delayed our return.”

“Thank you! Feel free to use the long leash and the treats to assist if she continues to run back and forth on the shorter leash. Great job so far !”

About: Semi-retired and looking to make new four-legged friends. Love dogs and they’ve always taken to me. I’ve cared for 7 dogs on and off throughout my life and currently sad to a pit-mix rescue. Looking forward to spending time with your baby. Available for runs, play and/or sitting 7 days a week (unless away for personal reasons). Your friend will be treated like my own grandchild. We’ll have fun, but they’ll get to go home with you! :-) Harnessed walks and a fenced yard have allowed for socialization and exercise. If open, and they get along, your baby will be welcome to spend time with mine at our home.

“Thank you for walking Otis”

About: Size limit 20 pounds for fun and safety. Your small or tiny dog will have up to 4 right-sized buddies to play with in my big securely-fenced yard. Professionally, I am a masters-prepared nurse and dog trainer who specializes in working with small dogs and puppies. I have worked with dogs professionally for more than 20 years, as a vet technician and dog trainer. There is no substitute for experience! I am very comfortable monitoring and managing dog play to keep everyone safe and happy, as well as managing special needs, giving medication, bathing, clipping nails, etc. Your dog will thrive with expert care from an experienced professional. I work from home and have lots of extra room on my couch for your little one! Your dog is most welcome to join us for couch time, walkies, and supervised outdoor play time in my large securely fenced garden. I am home most of the time, but I do go out to do normal things (the gym, errands, occasional social engagements). Please let me know if your dog is not crate trained. I do separate the dogs for safety when I Ieave the house, but can use gates or an ex-pen instead of a crate if that works better for your little one. I may be able to accommodate a dog that cannot be left home alone, depending on the specifics, please ask if this is the case. Your dog's safety is my first priority, followed by creating a fun and relaxing environment for your little one. You can relax knowing that your dog is in great hands and enjoying their own doggie vacation. I only accept dog-friendly small dogs under 20 pounds, so your little one will have size-appropriate buddies to play with! I manage drop offs and pickups with safety in mind, and I'm very happy to offer pick up and delivery to make your boarding experience as convenient as possible!
