Dog Walking in Essex

“Dalton is great! Our pup instantly got along with her from the initial meeting and she spent time with him inside even when he wasn’t in the mood for a walk. Communication with Dalton was so easy - she is prompt and let us know of any changes, and her notes on the walk cards were awesome. We will definitely book her again!”

“Amalya has cared for my cat many times! She loves animals very much and takes care of them like they are her own. 10/10 should hire her!”

“Titan is always well taken care of . Imari is reliable and handles my pets like they’re hers . I appreciate her having a flexible schedule and helping out when I’m away from home for extended periods. Thanks Imari”

About: I can't wait to meet your adorable animals! As a stay at home mom, your pets won’t have to go long stretches of time alone, as I will be around most of the day. I am happy to take your dog on runs (if they're up for it), in addition to several walks throughout the day. If your dog isn't up for so much activity, I will adjust to their needs, and make sure not to over-stimulate them. Please be aware that we are only able to board dogs at our home who are very good around young children (we have a 2- and 4- year old), preferably dogs who live with children. We have a large fenced-in backyard for them to play, and a very walkable neighborhood. For dogs not good around children, I am happy to stay with them at your house, if our schedule permits. In my time dog sitting, I have taken care of Chihuahuas, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Bull Dogs, Poodles, Corgis, Retrievers, Labs, Mixed Breeds, and more. I also have experience caring for dogs who take medicine, have lease aggression, and even deaf dogs. Please message me with any questions! I currently work part-time, and I am fully remote. So, I can be home with your fur baby nearly all day aside from some miscellaneous errands. Please let me know what your dogs’ and/or cats’ rules and/or boundaries are in the house so I can be sure to respect them. For example, keeping them off the couch or out of specific areas of the house.

“Joe was wonderful for my dog! He took time to make sure Ella had everything she needed and had nice, long walks when I was at work. His updates were perfect and he was willing to work with my schedule! I hope to continue using his services!”

“My pup looks forward to her walks with Shari. Returning to work has been a major change to our family routine. Shari is reliable and flexible to our needs. She is very responsive, provides updates on walks, and I look forward to the pics. She's a life saver.”

“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 !”

“Jeannie has been wonderful! She has been so patient with our anxious dog, Beanie, moving at her pace with their walks and doing all the things we ask to make her most comfortable. Beanie has really come around to walks with her and loves when Jeannie comes by! 😊”

“We are so happy with how Andrew handles are Carmela! She loves her time with him. Responsive and responsible. He gives great updates too! Highly recommend!”

“Kathleen has pet sat my dogs many times and has been wonderful every time. My dog’s are always so happy to see and I have peace of mind knowing that they are in the best of hands. Kathleen has demonstrated over and over again to be of the very highest caliber of pet care giver and has proven trustworthy and reliable. I can not recommend her pet sitting services highly enough.”

“Lori was really attentive and went the extra mile.”

“My Simba has been sick, I explained to Bruce how he needs to be walked and has done a great job. He recognizes when my dog needs to rest and he gives me updates on how he's doing after he's finished.”

“Jennifer was great with sailor! I will definitely use her for future walks!”

“Heather and Jennifer were genuinely kind, caring, and attentive to Gizmo and Cinci, who are senior dogs. This is my first time in 14 years using a dog walking service for the boys, and I am really happy that I chose them. They were very professional, responsible, and reliable!”

“Awesome and very flexible! Thank you soooo much!”

“Evelyn is great! My dog was comfortable with her right away and her experience with animals from her line of work definitely shows. She treats my dog with the love and attention that a dog momma wants to see.”

“Erica is very sweet and makes sure to message me when she walks them and sends me pictures for my piece of mind. My pups are happy to have a great dog walker.”

“Amazing experience! We are glad to have picked her as our dog walker! She asked a lot of good questions in preparation and gave us a detailed write up of the walk. We will definitely use her again in the future!!”

About: As a passionate and young dog lover, I bring youthful energy and genuine care to every pet I work with. I’ve grown up around animals and have had my own so trust me when I say I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with each pet individually, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. Animals naturally cling to me because they know the love and care I have for every single one of them in my heart! For about two years, I worked at a dog park called Bark Social. There I was able to learn the tendencies, Behaviors, and needs of almost every breed! They gave me the training I needed to successfully clean after dogs, de-escalate situations, and properly manage them. I’d love to carry that knowledge over with your baby! Whether it’s providing extra attention to a playful puppy/kitten or offering gentle care to a senior dog/cat, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each of my furry friends. I understand the importance of trust and reliability, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s overall well-being is my top priority, and I’m dedicated to making sure they have a positive and enjoyable experience every time we’re together. I work a part-time job from home, so I have all the time in the world to interact and enjoy the company of the little fur babies! I am able to provide all of their needs and wants whether it be a stroll in the park, or playing fetch in my living room, I'm down for it! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your baby or watching them in your home, I ensure that they are always in a secure and comfortable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences, specifically to make sure they feel safe and at ease. In your home, I'd follow your guidelines closely, maintaining your pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress on both ends. I make sure their space is safe, free from hazards, stocked with everything they need, and clean! From fresh water to their favorite toys, everything will be provided. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I communicate promptly to keep you informed. When walking or caring for your baby outdoors, I prioritize their safety by using secure leashes, avoiding crowded or dangerous areas, and being vigilant about any potential risks. I’m always prepared for unexpected situations, carrying essentials like waste bags, water, and first aid supplies. Building trust with both pets and their owners is key, so I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and caring. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own, I'd show them the same respect and care.

“Mishelle is an amazing individual that absolutely loves animals. I've known Mishelle for many years and throughout that time she has shown her caring nature in many ways, especially when it comes to animals. She has saved and re-homed multiple dogs and cats that were in unfavorable situations, in addition to being the one to adopt the animals that require just a little bit more love than the others in the shelter. She has been the go to pet sitter for multiple family members and friends of mine, I've known her to look after dogs, cats, and birds. In short, she is a wonderful person with a big heart for animals and would be the ideal candidate for taking care of your fur babies.”
