Dog Walking Chelmsford

“Tilly saved the day for me, and did this walk at the last minute. Milly ( the greyhound) saw it was Tilly coming to take her for a walk and was literally jumping for joy!! She was so excited to see her. We all need a Tilly in our lives. She is fantastic. She is always on time, cheerful, comes back with lovely feedback about the adventures they have. X”

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

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 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 have grown up around dogs, all across my family, looked after many for weeks at a time, taken them on walks for family members and for friends. Recently I have house sat for a few people who have cats too and found it just as easy. I operate clear communication with owners and make sure any requests are met and social requirements for the pets. Put 1 year experience because it doesn’t specify if cumulative or not. Will take your dog out for runs if you want I work at a cafe on a few days of the week. Hopefully going to be moving to a military role, which is why this is perfect for me for the short term. I am available most days as my current rota comes on a week by week, so I can book days where needed. I do not offer my own home but with owners homes, I will do my own quick check to make sure no issues such as holes in the fences or anything like that. I also double check how to do the locks and if there are any cat flaps or outdoor dog houses. Food timings are essential so I stick to the same time within 30 minutes each day, unless asked otherwise

“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”

Hannah W.

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

Carri W.

“Susan has shown great diligence when supporting our dog, and is highly devoted to playing with him to the point he is always sleepy afterwards. While we only pay for 30 minutes, Susan often does more, only leaving when she feels he has had a good time. Cannot recommend her enough!”

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.

“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.”

“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 have always had a dog ever since I was a child. My parents wanted my brother and I to feel confident around them, so we always had a variety of different dogs at home. Due to the shifts that I currently work, it is difficult to have my own dog full time now, so I grab every opportunity to say hello to any furry friends whilst I'm out and about...and I mean anywhere! I am sure my friends roll their eyes now because they know if I spot a dog, I simply can't resist stopping and saying hello haha. You will see from my gallery of photos that I meet a lot of dogs at patient's homes as well as when I'm out and about on my bike. I'm a very keen cyclist and love the outdoors. I have mostly owned medium sized dogs - labradors and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Lots of my close friends own dogs and I have offered to walk them and look after them from time to time if the need arises. I also signed up for the 'Borrow My Doggy' website a couple of years ago and met some wonderful dogs through there. On a regular basis, I would walk and look after a black labrador as well as a couple of cockapoos. I would dearly love to look after some more dogs in my local area. Hello. I currently work full time for the ambulance service, so I have some availability in between my shifts at work. The days that I am available each week, will be different. I have a fully fenced, large garden at my house and will make sure that your pet is thoroughly looked after. It's the perfect garden to throw a ball around and play 'Fetch'.

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.

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: 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.

“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've spent years caring for my own pets and currently share my home with three dogs and a cat (and I still want more). So I've had lots of hands-on experience with different ages, care needs, pooping abilities and personalities (and they certainly all have them). I'm comfortable with different feeding schedules, daily exercise needs, puppy training and creating a safe environment for pets whilst giving lots of attention and love - they deserve it so much. As a pet owner who has used sitters and boarding services myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I know what it's like to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. The best part of pet care for me is the relationship you build with animals. There's something special about earning their trust and seeing them become comfortable around you. There really is no pay grade or profession that can beat that for me - just give me all the cuddles and wagging tails please. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine. My days revolve around caring for my own three dogs and cat, including walks, feeding, playtime, training, and making sure they are happy and comfortable. Having stepped away from my career in accounting to pursue a more balanced and rewarding lifestyle focused on animals, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. This means pets in my care benefit from plenty of companionship, supervision, exercise, and affection, rather than being left alone for long periods. Whether it's sticking to established routines, providing regular walks, or simply offering extra cuddles and reassurance, I enjoy making pet care a natural and rewarding part of every day. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and can maintain as much of their normal routine as possible. Before any booking, I like to learn about each pet's personality, habits, preferences, and any special requirements so I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. In my home, pets are treated as part of the family and are supervised closely. I have experience managing a multi-pet household with my own three dogs and cat, and I always ensure introductions are handled carefully and at a pace that keeps everyone comfortable. Fresh water, regular exercise, playtime, rest, and plenty of affection are all part of the daily routine. If caring for pets in their owner's home, I respect their established routines and environment, following feeding schedules, walk requirements, and any instructions provided to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout a stay, giving owners peace of mind that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
