Store Paws - Dog Walking And Pet Sitting Service
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Davina came to my house and popped in to look after our boy Quincy, a Romanian Rescue dog who is still really nervous and scared as he is still settling in. I had a face to face meeting with Davina first and she was friendly, easy going but also comes across professional when it comes to her knowledge with training dogs and behaviour which is very reassuring and she is passionate about animals which is lovely. Quincy seemed to warm to her very well despite him being weary of new people, I will be more than happy to use Davina again for any of her services. Thank you
I have known Davina for 25 years now both socially and professionally. She has cared for my parents' dog for years and I think she is his favourite person! As a professional dog caregiver, she is reliable, punctual, trustworthy, thorough and patient. She has been able to help train my parents' dog to not pull on his lead so they find it easier to walk him as well. She is always available to help look after him when they need to go out/ away and even ensures the house looks 'lived in' when they are away by opening and closing curtains/ blinds, watering plants and moving the post so it is not piling up behind the door. She has her own supply of poo bags and treats, is first aid trained, insured and CRB checked - evidence of which she provided for my parents when they booked her. This helped put their mind at rest as were not happy to just hand over a key to their house to just anyone. I would highly recommend Davina to look after anyone's dog, either to pet-sit them or walk them - she seems to have a natural affinity with animals and a very calming effect on them!
