Dog Walking Chelmsford

“Thank you Elif for walking Ralph. I hope he was ok.”

About: I have my own fox red labrador who we have raised since a puppy to be a very lovely and well mannered dog, I am very proud of her (and myself!) I attended puppy classes with her so have some basic skills in training and understanding of dog behaviour. This has sparked a passion for all dogs (yes I am the annoying woman that talks to them all!) I have walked dogs including a big bouncy golden retriever and a nervous collie mix. I am a registered volunteer with an animal charity for dog walking/pet sitting and am first aid trained. I now have time during the week and some weekends and evenings and would like to dedicate them to your dogs and other pets. I can sometimes be available at short notice. Ideally I would want a free meet and greet first to make sure your dog and I are going to be best mates :) I have at least one week day off per week and some working from home days which will allow me to do some dog walks during the week. I also have some weekends. My own dog is very socialised if you wanted a friend for yours I'd be happy to arrange a meet to see if they could be walked together. I care for pets according to your instruction and their routine. Dog walks are always on lead in the first instance, if you are happy for your dog to be off lead I will only do this once we have build trust and a bond that means this is safe.

About: I've had dogs of varying breeds my whole life, and so I'm comfortable looking after any dog. I regularly look after dogs for friends and family with the help of my friendly Cavapoo, Nellie. I treat all dogs like I would my own, with full access to the house and garden and a lot of love. I love walking and so am always keen to exercise dogs and give them a rewarding day. I work from home three days a week (Tues/Weds/Thurs) and so can be flexible throughout the week as well as on weekends. Dogs fit into our lives seemlessly and so we are always happy to have them in the house. I have a fenced garden and a friendly Cavapoo, Nellie who is always happy to share toys and keep dogs company whilst with us. I treat other's dogs as if they were my own; with a lot of love, attention and walks.

About: I have recently completed my final year studying Animal Management at university, where I’ve gained a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training, health, and welfare. This allows me to provide more than just basic care—I can recognise body language, support positive behaviour, and tailor each dog’s routine to suit their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including more nervous or anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. I’m also confident reinforcing basic training such as lead manners and general obedience during their stay if needed. Another key difference is that your dog will rarely ever be left alone. Between me and my partner, someone is typically always home, so your dog will have constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. We are also both insured outside of Rover! I also provide a calm, spacious home environment and keep my bookings limited to a maximum of 2 dogs (as long as both owners are informed and have agreed prior), so each dog receives focused care rather than being one of many. Combined with regular updates and photos, I aim to give owners complete peace of mind while their dog is with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in the pub downstairs (Thursday-Saturday evenings - can change depending on your booking!), but between me and my partner, one of us is always at home—so your dog will never be left alone. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to be flexible with routines, whether your dog prefers early walks, multiple shorter outings, or a more relaxed schedule. Because I’m in my final year of studying Animal Management, pet care is a central part of my lifestyle, not just something I do occasionally. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and spacious home environment in our private upstairs living area, away from noise and distractions. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, behaviour, and any specific needs before their stay. With my background in Animal Management, I’m confident reading dog body language, managing different temperaments, and ensuring a safe, stress-free environment. I keep bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of attention and space. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if there are multiple dogs, always prioritising safety. Regular updates and photos are provided so you can feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.

“Alys is so lovely and has been so caring, understanding and attentive for my little dachshund who doesn’t typically like strangers, especially in our house. Alys has really taken the time and effort to understand his personality. Thank you so much.”

“Karen was friendly reliable had a good understanding and connection with Pablo. She walked Pablo for a week whilst we were away on holiday. She sent pictures and kept us updated. Would highly recommend, she’s brilliant!”

“We received lots of lovely photos while we were away and Ruby was well looked after and enjoyed her walks. Ruby was often looking out for Tilly with anticipation before she arrived.”

About: We aim to provide a happy and safe environment for your dog with activities and walks they will enjoy and ensure they are happy and content. I have many years experience with my own and other peoples dogs, having lived with dogs from 6 years old and having my first dog walking business at 13. As every dog is different I will listen to you and be guided by how you would like me to take care of your dog and try to ensure that they have a safe, loving and fun experience. I currently work part-time from home with flexible hours, so will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog. We have many beautiful areas to enjoy walks nearby. We have a fenced garden and a friendly loving dog to keep your dog company. I am confident with crating your dog if needed and am happy with administrating medicines if required.

About: I’ve grown up with animals, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, hamsters! I have two cats of my own which I’ve had since they were kittens and currently have 2 family dogs, I used to support my mum with her dog walking business and often help out neighbours or friends with pet sitting! I work from home most days in the week so would be happy to support during lunch times or if needed all day support I can work from home at your location! I am very easy going and as long as your animal is friendly or learning to be I can fit to however your schedule looks

“Couldn’t recommend Tanya enough, she’s always on time and reliable, and gives me lots of updates whenever she walks Annie, Annie sleeps for the rest of the day until I get home after too which shows she’s walked properly! Will be using her as my regular”

About: Hi everyone, I am Hannah and I live with my boyfriend Ben, we love all animals and we had a rescue dog, Kali in my picture who sadly passed away in December and we really miss her company, especially when I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays and on the weekends when we are indoors. We would love to get another dog but are not ready to yet so would love to start dog walking and dog sitting to have the company and friendship of a dog. Kali was a difficult dog and we struggled to find dog sitters for her so we are very patient an understand how rescue dogs can be. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays and would love to look after a dog when I am at home. I would be able to take them for an hour walk at lunch time and they would get lots of cuddles treats and belly rubs! We are also at home a lot on weekends so if we have no plans we are more than happy to dog sit and even have the dog stay at ours overnight I have a fenced garden. I will be here all day, I may have to pop out for a maximum of one hour but I will make sure that I take the dog for a walk beforehand

“Looks like they had a lovely time together 🐕👍”

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.

About: I work from home and have always had a passion for caring for animals, so pet care allows me to combine both. I absolutely adore both cats and dogs and take great pride in providing a safe, loving environment for them. I’ve grown up with pets and have personally owned two dogs including a Romanian rescue with reactivity and guarding behaviours, whom I successfully trained. This experience has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, body language and the patience needed to care for each dog as an individual. I currently own a greyhound and regularly dog sit, walk and board for friends and clients, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’m fortunate to live right next to a park which allows for plenty of long walks and I also have a fully secure garden where dogs can relax and play safely. My home is a comfortable two bedroom house offering a calm and welcoming space. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and care while staying with me and their safety and happiness are always my top priority. I also enjoy animal photography so I’ll be sure to keep you updated with regular photos during their stay. I work full time at home. I can take your dog out for lovely long walks with my dog or on its own as I’m right next to the park! And give all the fuss as though they were my own dog. If the forecast says rain please just ensure you provide a raincoat otherwise I don’t walk dogs in the rain without one. I have a fully secured garden so your dog can go in and out whenever needs to go to the toilet. I am available to care and give affection with my flexible job

“Susan is brilliant. 🤩 she picked up Cass at short notice after my dog walker couldn’t take her. She popped round to see me first so we could all meet. She is very loving and clearly loves animals. She kept me fully updated with how things went. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

About: Hi! I’m Evan, 21, from Springfield, Chelmsford. I’m a big animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals such as cats, rabbits and reptiles. I’ve worked at a dog daycare and studied at ARU Writtle College with a focus on animal management and dog grooming. I also regularly look after and walk dogs in my local area. I’m confident caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am also fully insured. I offer dog walking, overnight stays and house drop-ins, and am available most days with plenty of flexibility. I also enjoy being active so I’m more than happy to keep up with energetic dogs who love long walks. Your pet’s happiness, safety and comfort are my top priorities. Please get in touch to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to do long stays, regular drop-ins. I also like being active so I am more than happy to care for dogs with high energy levels who enjoy long walks. Experience has made me aware that consistently responding to an animal’s needs by observing their behaviour and is important to maintain their comfort. To guarantee I can meet all basic needs I bring necessary equipment (water, treats) on each walk and alter my method of care depending on each animals requirements.
