My name is Davina. I am the main walker and pet sitter for Store Paws. I have 20+ years’ experience of handling dogs of all shapes and sizes, including: Labradors, Dobermanns, Border Collies, Bulldogs, Alaskan Malamutes, Pekingese, Shih Tzu, Basset Hounds and St Bernards. I have completed my Level 2 certificate in Animal Care, and Diploma in Pet Dog Care, so am fully conversant in animal husbandry, animal first aid and the Animal Welfare Act. Store Paws offers a local dog walking and pet sitting service in the Stanford-le-Hope, Corringham, Fobbing, Pitsea, Basildon, Horndon on the Hill and Langdon Hills areas in Essex. I am fully insured and CRB/ DBS checked so you can rest assured that your furry friend is in safe hands. The service offered is for all weathers, rain or shine, except in the case of extreme temperatures, where a mutually-convenient alternative appointment will be offered. The fact that Store Paws offers pet care within the pets' own home reduces the stress your pet may experience by being taken out of familiar surroundings. This is what separates us from boarding or doggie daycares. This service is available for dogs, cats and other small caged animals (eg: rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, african pygmy hedgehogs, chickens, etc...) and will include feeding and watering, cleaning, administering medication as necessary, any previously agreed home security tasks such as opening or closing of curtains and tidying up mail, and of course providing lots of TLC! We will ensure your pet is comfortable with fresh food and water, and can send a text message to confirm all is well.
