Dog Walking in Castle Point

“The best review I can leave is how much Bertie loves being out with Kathy. He can be quite nervous on lead and that makes him a little reactive, but with Kathy he has moved forward leaps and bounds, even happy to walk with her dog. We did originally just book Kathy for a short term but now Bertie goes out with her regularly. Couldn’t be happier ☺️”

“My dog Kizzy was so excited to see Ashley each time he came to walk her so I knew she was very happy. You can tell Ashley loves dogs and I’d definitely book him again”

“Sheila walked Benji while we were on holiday. We met in advance and introduced Benji. Sheila walked Benji on time and gave him a decent length walk. Benji loved it! Sheila was a great communicator and kept in touch with messages and photos. Thanks Sheila!”

“Thank you to Francesco for walking my Labrador for the first time today! Francesco arrived with plenty of time for me to hand Nia over. He clearly loves dogs, knows how to handle an excitable lab and how to put them at ease - Nia loved him straight away. Would 100% ask Francesco to walk Nia again. Thanks again!”

About: For the past 3/4 years I’ve taken care of a friends dog and cat whenever they’ve been away on holiday. I’ve also got experience with my own pets including dogs, fish, finches, quails and hamsters. I have a part time job, I tend to work three days a week however my shifts are always different days. I will always check my rota before accepting a job to make sure I’d be spending the correct amount of time with your pets and making sure their needs are met. I love spending time with any pets. I always like to make sure their needs are met and they are happy. I make sure feeding schedules are met and any other requirements are fulfilled.

About: As a Fear Free Level 2 Certified veterinary professional, I prioritise creating a calm, positive experience for every pet in my care. I’ve looked after animals of all ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets with special needs. I’m confident with administering medications, supporting pets with anxiety, and maintaining consistent routines that make animals feel safe and loved. Throughout my veterinary education, I’ve been actively involved in learning about animal behaviour—attending puppy classes in my spare time during clinical rotations to deepen my understanding and practical skills. My veterinary background, combined with my Fear Free certification and hands-on experience, sets me apart from other sitters. I bring a calm, gentle approach and tailor my care to each pet’s emotional and physical needs. I’m observant, detail-oriented, and genuinely love building trust with animals—whether it’s through play, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I’m currently working from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, I’m used to structuring my time around animal wellbeing and always make sure each pet gets the time, engagement, and comfort they need. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine to keep things calm and familiar for them. Whether I’m caring for pets in their own home or mine, their safety and emotional wellbeing are always my top priorities. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, I’m trained to recognise signs of stress and respond in a calm, reassuring way that helps pets feel secure. I take time to build trust through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and sticking to familiar routines. In a pet owner's home, I’m respectful of the space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, medication, walk routines, or specific behavioural cues. I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment and keep pets mentally and physically engaged while also ensuring they get time to rest and feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve looked after animals for as long as I can remember — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I’m at home full-time, which means I can give animals the time, attention, and care they truly deserve. Whether it’s keeping them safe, happy, well-fed, exercised, or simply keeping them company, their wellbeing always comes first. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. From quiet cuddles to playtime and daily care, I treat every animal as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and genuinely devoted to animals, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be in caring hands with me. It will fit in because I am a stay at home mum and my children are older so it is just me looking after the pets. I have fenced garden and outdoor cattery and locked and I have security cameras over the property. The animals have a large Area to relax and exercise.

About: I specialise in personalised care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. What sets me apart is my background in basic puppy training, helping them develop good habits early, as well as my expertise in caring for senior pets with special needs, ensuring they’re comfortable and well taken care of.

I also am at home and free most Saturday’s and Sunday’s. When caring for pets in my home or yours, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my home, I’ve created a pet-friendly space with secure areas where pets can roam freely, yet safely. I ensure all hazards are removed, and I maintain a calm, clean environment with plenty of toys, comfy spots for naps, and safe outdoor access for playtime. I also follow the specific routines and rules set by the pet owner, keeping everything as familiar as possible for your pet. When I care for pets in their own homes, I prioritize sticking to their usual routines to minimize stress. I follow detailed instructions for feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, and I keep their environment secure and comfortable. Whether it’s checking in on them during the day or staying overnight, I treat your home with respect and care, ensuring your pet feels secure and loved in their own familiar space. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my main focus, no matter where I’m caring for them!

About: I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, from small breeds like Cocker Spaniels to large and strong breeds such as German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and American Akitas. I’ve cared for energetic, playful dogs as well as calm, older dogs, so I’m confident handling any personality. I’ve spent years walking, feeding, grooming, and giving plenty of attention to dogs, always making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own, tailoring care to their individual needs and personality. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or some quiet cuddle time, I love spending time with dogs and giving them the care and attention they deserve. 🐾💛 Caring for pets is part of my daily routine – walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles – and I love spending quality time with dogs and cats. I follow owners’ instructions, provide food, water, walks, play, and cuddles, keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable in their own home environment, and love it x

About: I have grown up with dogs for my whole life. I have grown up with big dogs, elderly dogs and hypoallergenic dogs. I have cared for both puppies and dogs close to end of life. I am not a full time athlete and would love to look after dogs around my training hours. I offer 5k walks throughout the day, home visits and drop ins and also a quick spin around the block if required. I am a professional athlete and now have a lot more free time around my training hour. I can offer long walks, short walks or house drop ins at short notice. I love spending our Saturdays & Sundays down the seafront and would be great to have a little company from time to time on weekends. I ensure that pets are taken care of at the same level I would have cared for my own dogs. I am vigilant on walks and will put your pets safety as my top priority while making sure that their needs are met with no distress.

About: Genuine love for all animals 🤍 I have multiple animal care qualifications including Pet First Aid, I am fully insured and dbs checked, I love how my job helps pets feel secure and cared for while owners are away as well as owners feeling reassured their pets are in safe hands 😊 This is currently my full time job so I have plenty of availability to meet your pet care needs whether you need regular or one-off services During visits, I can feed, clean litter trays/let your dog out into the garden and clean up after, keep your pets engaged with play, or have some chilled cuddles.

About: I’ve got years of experience working with and owning dogs of all breeds, I have knowledge of training, and behaviour of dogs. I’ve worked with dogs from puppies to elderly. I have 2 dogs myself whom I love dearly. I have experience in dog training also. Experience in rescue dogs (one of mine is a rescue) I have a very flexible schedule, I’m available Monday-Friday and some weekends. My daily availability is from 8:50am-5pm and weekends I can be available from 8am-7:30pm I care for pets like I care for my own, with love attention and respect. I take the time for other peoples pets to become comfortable with myself and learn their behaviour to know they are happy and content. I’ll keep to their usual routines, and make sure they have lots of engaging fun during my time with them.

About: I have always loved dogs and wanted my own one for many years. I finally adopted a tiny little pup in 2018. I’d like to use Rover to help others with small dog care as I know you want to leave your dog with someone who cares as much about them as you do. I'm fairly easy going and patient. I often take care of my friends dogs when they go away so have experience taking care of 2-3 small dogs at a time, though my preference would be just to have one other during the day when I’m working from home and at weekends. Happy to walk any size dog as long as they are good walking on a lead. Will only care for small dogs in my own home as I have a small dog. I work from home 4 days a week and can be available short notice for local walks in Leigh On Sea. Ideally walks before 9am, around lunchtime and after 6pm weekdays. Weekends available on an adhoc basis I have a small secure fenced garden with a metal staircase that leads down to it, so your pup will be safe to roam freely in the garden.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs & absolutely adore them! I’ve dog sat for friends and family members in the past. Care for very old and very lively dogs and all in between! I work from home 2 days a week so can bring my laptop with me to your home on these days. I don’t have too many meetings and have time to care and play with your dog throughout the day. I also have flexible starting and finishing times within reason and an hour for lunch to pay your dog full attention! On the weekends, I’d love to get out more walking and fill the time with caring for some gorgeous pooches! Predominantly offering care at your home. Being a dog mum & caring for various dogs in the past I can follow any instructions given to care at your home. I also have a gorgeous friendly retriever who can come on dog walks where appropriate and keep your dog company!

About: As I grow older (and hopefully wiser!) I find myself constantly wanting to learn more and more about dogs. I’m still finding my feet 🐾 but I know for sure that my purpose is working with dogs and now I’m on a path which has lead me to creating a wonderful outlet for ALL dogs called The Zoom Room Mobile Dog Gym as well as going into dog training and hopefully GRC too! Growing up in this area and welcoming all ages and sizes of your furry friends. I left my job to fulfill my dream of working with animals full time because I am so passionate, so much so I am always learning new skills. I will always do my best to work around dates and times needed. I am transparent about what I do as I value honesty, as a pet owner myself, is all we can ask for with people looking after our babies🥹🐶 I would also like to add I am fully DBS checked and fully insured (separate from ROVER) and first aid trained (humans & dogs) 🥰

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for over 10 years. I am reliable, caring and have plenty of knowledge and experience with things like walking, feeding, playing, bathing etc. I have also done dog sitting for my sister in law for a puppy and absolutely love it! I currently work Full time, and have my rota in advance so will have plenty of time to play / walk / dog sit / whatever you’d like!
