Dog Walking in Chelmsford

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: Originally from Turkey, hence the pet lover genes come from. An ex-clinic veterinarian trying to be involved with pets again. I have experience in petsitting my friends/family relatives pets and experience with caring in need animals. (I dont practice clinic veterinary anymore, due to this morally I cannot give any medical advice on pets wellbeing) Since living in the UK it has been hard to find a place suitable for pets, hence I am unable to care for one. However, I have many prior experience and looking forward to being able to find a place which is suitable for pets I try to give them more space as finding a stranger suddenly can make them anxious. I can read pet body language and depending on this approach the pet with care. I can handle even feisty cats

“Tilly was brilliant with Pablo, she asked all about him, share some great photos and had great communication. Would Highly recommend, thank you ☺️”

“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.”

About: Basic DBS checked and Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) certified. Over the past 3+ years, caring for pets has become a service that I am truly grateful to be able to provide. I have also been helping friends and colleagues feed their cats for the past 20 years. I am looking to extend this into a professional service, offering pets a calm, loving, and more personal care. Each pet I look after receives plenty of attention, care, and cuddles, with routines tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well looked after while they’re away. I’m currently offering drop-in visits and dog walking, while working towards obtaining my home boarding licence in the near future. These steps are part of my commitment to building a fully licensed, professional service that prioritises the highest standards of safety, care, and comfort for every pet. In the near future, I plan to expand my services to include home boarding and doggy daycare, providing a calm, attentive, home-from-home environment for your pets. Thank you for your interest. I look forward to caring for your pet. 🐾 I work full time from home with flexible hours, giving me the availability to provide drop-in visits and dog walking at times that best suit you and your dog’s routine according to my availability. Happy to arrange times to suit. Caring for pets in pet owner's home: I prioritise safety, trust, and maintaining a familiar environment. I will try and follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. I also treat every home with respect and ensure pets receive attentive, reliable care while their owners are away. Only for home boarding which is a service I am yet to provide professionally: I have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, and indoors I can easily create a more enclosed space using the living room or kitchen if that helps a dog feel more settled. If your dog feels more comfortable in a crate, I’m happy to accommodate that. Most dogs sleep in their own beds provided, and we also have a little sofa that’s become a favourite spot for many of our doggy visitors.

“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.”

“Whilst my wife and I were away, we had many moving parts to cover dog care and Ben was so helpful and willing to slot in where needed. Ben and Gabriella were extremely friendly, easy to talk to, very accommodating to our needs, great commutators and especially great with my mum who was in a wheelchair. To come home and be told that your dog walkers/sitters are fantastic is great. Barley gives a BIG 5*”

About: I and my husband (Hakan) have taken care of dogs for a long time, our adventure which started with walking our neighbour's dog continued with adopting our own dog. Our children are also very good with dogs. I am currently working part time and my husband is working from home, so we will have plenty of time to stay and play with your pups in day time. We are also available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. We have a bungalow house with secured fenced yard, close to parks and walking paths. We can walk as long as your pups wants to, can feed and bath if requested.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to every pet in my care. Having completed an apprenticeship as a veterinary assistant and qualified as a dog trainer, I am able to recognise potential health concerns and work confidently with dogs of all temperaments, including those with challenging behaviours. I'm available for Dog Walking Monday to Saturday 9am to 7pm; for Pet Sitting I'm available all week. I'm have a very flexible schedule. I like to tailor my services to each individual pet. Some thrive on routine, others enjoy adventure. Whether you are looking for some human company for your pet or some adventure partner to take your dog exploring, I can help!

About: Pet care giver for over 10 years and worked in a vetinary practise for 2 years so I am emergency/triaged trained. I love all animals - big or small ❤️ Caring for pets is my full-time job, so I’m able to give your little one plenty of attention Monday to Friday, including walks, exercise, playtime, and feeding. I can also be flexible where possible. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first, which is why a meet and greet is so important beforehand. It gives me the chance to get to know their needs, routine, and home environment before sitting.

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, 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 priorities. 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 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

“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!”

About: I provide dog walks, pet sittings and even jogging sessions for pups who need that extra boost. Helping pets stay active, happy and cared for is my aim with every visit - making your days a little easier too. I am a 27 years old girl from Spain who moved to the UK almost five years ago and I can’t recall a time before moving to this country where I didn’t have animals at home. So I am really grateful to everyone who has trusted me and allowed me to have fun and cuddles with their furry family members over these years! I’m currently studying online and I have a very flexible schedule. Pet sitting and dog walking is something I would love to do forever if life doesn’t get on the way. That’s why I am available full time and at short notice. I offer reliable and caring pet and house sitting services to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet Sitting Services: Overnight Stays: I stay in your home so your pets can remain in their familiar and stress-free environment. This service includes two walks. Daily Lunchtime Visits: A midday visit for feeding, letting out, playtime, and companionship—tailored to your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs. Fitness Runs: I enjoy running and high intensity training on my free time. So I am the perfect training buddy for those dogs that need a good run.

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.

About: I have grown up around all different species of animals. I’m well experienced in reading behaviour and can adapt well to the animals I’m caring for. I have experience in a variety of different sized animals I work flexible hours so travelling to people isn’t a problem. I can do weekdays, evenings, weekends and holidays, I can be flexible around you. I will adapt to the ways you want me to care in your environment. Whatever rules you set for your pets I will ensure they’ll be followed, and make this an easy experience for you where you can trust me.

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.

“Tia has taken out little Ace, 15 week puppy who quite excitable at times on walk every morning for this weekend. She has arrived a little before start of booking to give little pup time to adjust and always with a bright attitude got on with what she needed to do, gave Ace a little time as he quite nervous and has toilet accident, she has given me such a great reassurance on his first walk with someone outside the family. Pictures with updates have been great. Tia has great manner and during our meet and greet she had already filled me with confidence that she would know how to handle a puppy and this weekend proved that with a triple walk! I myself was nervous to be away from the little Pup, but having Tia settled those worries. Thank you Tia! Look forward to working with you again.”

About: I’m currently accepting new clients and usually respond quickly. I’m a masters student at Anglia Ruskin University and a proud pet parent to my 4-year-old Labrador back home in India, whom I’ve raised since he was just a month old. Caring for him has given me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, routines, exercise, and daily care. I’m calm, patient, and comfortable around different temperaments, including energetic and anxious dogs. I’ve also spent time around street dogs, which has helped me become confident and adaptable with animals. While most of my hands-on experience is with dogs, I’m also happy to care for cats and other pets, always taking time to understand their individual routines and needs. Since moving to the UK, I’ve really missed being around animals, so I’d love to help with walks, drop-ins, companionship, or house sitting. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m available most of the week except Monday and Tuesday mornings, and I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. I’m a 28-year-old master’s student at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, currently working part-time alongside my studies. I’m generally available all days for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and sitting, except Monday and Tuesday mornings when I have classes. Outside of that, my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to adjust around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Animals are genuinely very close to my heart, and I treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own family. I have personally raised a Labrador from puppyhood to 4 years old on my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, behaviour, and responsibility. I’m extremely observant about each pet’s personality, preferences, and comfort. I always follow owner instructions carefully and make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved in my care.
