About: Claire’s Canines started in 2021, but the idea and planning for it began way back in 2018 and 2019 when I was living in Spain. I often walked my friends' dogs to help when she was at work, and dog sat for her when she had to work overtime. Upon my return to the UK, I missed the experience and decided to start up my own company full time. I cater for all dogs of all breeds and ages and understand some dogs love a good run, while others prefer a slow simple walk. Every walk is bespoke to your dog's needs, for example, if you have a young dog who needs good daily exercise, we will give them a chance to exercise off-leash (with owners permission). Older dogs or dogs with health problems will be provided with shorter more local walks, less strenuous, but still getting that crucial exercise needed. I hope that your dogs will be able to join us on our adventures and don’t worry if your dog is not particularly sociable. I can cater for solo walks too. Best paw forward! Love from Claire Morning walks between 7 and 11. Midday walks between 12 and 2. Afternoon walks 3 and 6. All walks last an hour unless otherwise arranged. All dogs are walked and returned to your property, given clean fresh water, and treats (if allowed) are left contented and happy. I do not include any driving time in the session, so your dogs get their full allotted timescale of fun!

About: Hi there! We’re Leia and Dan, a young couple who loves animals. We’re currently in a flat, so we’re looking to share our space with your furry friends to get a flavour of what it’d be like for us in the future. We live in a comfortable space with a balcony for fresh air throughout the day. Both working hybrid work patterns so one of us will be at home throughout the day to have cuddles, belly rubs and walks. Having grown up with cats, and regularly looked after my parents cats, we know they have their boundaries, but love to have attention (on their terms) and have that perfect chin scratch. When boarding cats, we wouldn’t have the balcony open to ensure they are kept safe. We naturally love to be outside, whether that’s walking or camping. So, if you decide to board your pooch, trust they will be taken on many walks (it keeps us healthy!) to explore local routes. Whether it’s a walk, a day, a weekend, a week, or more, we’re happy to discuss looking after your pet. Both of us work hybrid work patterns so one of us will be at home throughout the day to have cuddles, belly rubs and walks throughout the week. Our weekends change depending on the weather and social plans. Sometimes we stay at home watching movies and playing board games, and other times we like to venture out and explore a new walking routes and stop mid way for a lunch break. So we can accommodate our schedule depending on your pet. We have a balcony for fresh air which we will keep open if we are looking after dogs (and a watchful eye at all times). For cats, we wouldn’t have these open but instead keep our windows ajar so the fresh air can still flow in but they are kept safe. If looking after pets in your home, we take security very seriously. Ensuring that any doors are locked and keys kept safe until you return.

About: I have had dogs all my life and understand their care needs for all their life stages. I have qualifications in animal management level 2 and 3. I know basic animal first aid. I am reliable and trustworthy to have in your home giving you peace of mind while you are away. Pet care is my main business and I make looking after your pet my priority. I’m available 7 days a week. I can stay at your property. I will come to your home and follow your routine for your pets while they are under my care. I am happy to administer any medication when necessary.

About: About Me Hello! I'm Vincent, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your dog. Animals have always been an important part of my life. Our family was lucky enough to spend 16 wonderful years with our Shiba Inu, Pixiu, and many happy years with our two beloved cats, Sugar and Creamy. Living alongside them taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, routine and way of communicating. I'm naturally calm, patient and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle strolls or simply enjoys taking their time to sniff everything along the way, I'll always make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. Alongside my love for animals, I'm also a professional photographer. I enjoy capturing natural moments during our walks, so you'll often receive lovely photos as part of your updates. My goal is simple, to provide the same level of care and attention that I'd want for my own pets. I hope to become someone your dog is always excited to see at the front door. About My Services Every dog is different, so I always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and routine. Whether it's a fun walk, a drop-in visit or spending quality time together, I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise and affection in a safe and positive environment. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos throughout the booking, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. I treat every dog with kindness, patience and respect, and I hope to build long-term relationships with both pets and their owners. Requested Information About Your Pet Before we meet, I'd love to know a little about your dog so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. Things that are helpful to know include: • Their personality and usual routine • Favourite toys, treats or activities • Any medical conditions or allergies • Anything they particularly love or dislike The more I know beforehand, the easier it is to give your dog a happy and relaxed experience. During the Stay Your dog's safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my priority. I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, making sure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, rest and, of course, lots of attention. I'll send regular updates during our time together, including photos, so you'll always know how your dog is getting on. As photography is one of my passions, I enjoy capturing beautiful, natural moments whenever possible. From time to time, I also like to surprise regular clients with a small collection of timeless portraits as a personal thank-you for their trust. My aim is that every visit ends with a happy dog and a relaxed owner. I'm currently building my pet care services and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week. I always aim to be punctual, communicate clearly with owners, and make sure every pet receives the time, care and attention they deserve. My availability may vary slightly, but I'll always do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible. Your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding routines, feeding, medication and walking preferences. During every walk, I pay close attention to each dog's behaviour, surroundings and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed. After every visit or walk, I'll send you updates together with beautiful photos, so you can feel confident your pet has been well cared for.

“This is the second time we have asked Susan to visit our cats whilst we are away. Susan was communicative and visited at the agreed times. She shared updates and photos/videos of our cats. We are very pleased with her service and will book her again.”

“Ellie, is extremely reliable and my dachshund settled with her very quickly. Had full trust in her leaving him with her. Highly recommend”

Shane S.

“Barbara took care of our little dog and 2 indoor cats while we were away. She is so thoughtful and responsible. We appreciated the care she took to meet with us and our pets before the actual date of our trip. Barbara was kind to send us updates and photos while we were away. She was everything we were hoping for. We are very happy to have found a wonderful pet sitter!”

“Ben is great. Really amenable to our request and really seemed to enjoy looking after our cat. If I could give 6 stars I would. Will absolutely be asking him to look after Todd when we go away again.”

Neil M.

“I would definitely recommend Samantha. She is trustworthy and reliable, and my cats liked her right away during our meet & greet! Even though we have three cats, she took wonderful care of them. She kept us updated with photos and messages on every visit, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Thank you so much, Sam! ♥️”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 7, and they’ve always been part of my family. I currently have a 2-year-old dog named Toby, so I understand the daily joys and responsibilities of caring for pets. Friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me for years to walk, play with, feed, and love their dogs as if they were my own. I have experience looking after dogs with health complications and am confident in providing medicine when needed. I’ve also trained all of my family’s dogs in the basics, from sit and stay to good leash manners. My whole family are massive animal lovers, and over the years we’ve had everything from goats and chickens to cats and more – so I’m comfortable and confident caring for a wide range of animals. As my partner works shifts, I have a lot of flexible free time – and I’d love to spend it walking, cuddling, and playing with your dogs. My partner and I absolutely love animals - we are the type of people to take treats for stray cats and dogs whilst on holiday. My dream is to open up my own doggy day care! I’m about most weekends and flexible during the week depending on the days I’m working in London. If you would like to meet before booking, I am happy to do so! I’ll likely have Toby with me so your doggo’s will have great company with us both! I’m a homeowner of a small house with a fenced garden in the by the Chelmsford bus and the train station - I’m walking distance to Bunny walks, Central and Admiral park. We also often go to Hylands for walks. I always prioritise your pet’s safety, whether in my home or yours, and follow any instructions you provide. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including those with medical needs, and can administer medication confidently. Any questions let me know!

“I had a very good experience. I felt comfortable leaving my cat, Freya, in Mike's care and was confident that she was safe and well looked after while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and Freya seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. Communication was easy, and Mike sent plenty of cute photos and videos, which was very reassuring. It was clear that she was being properly cared for, and I would happily trust Mike with Freya again in the future.”
