Dog Walking in Epping Forest

“Mary looked after dog walking for our Labradoodle, Loki while we were away on holiday. She was great a keeping us updated and very responsive to any questions and most importantly she was brilliant with Loki. Would highly recommend.”

“Sunshyne is great with Sully - spending the time time with him so he gets to know her, and build confidence on walks. When he meets her out and about he then follows her (and likes to pretend he's forgot about me!). Sunshyne now helps us out every week which puts our mind at ease when both working.”

About: Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time only on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week. I am able to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and any specific care requirements a pet may have. I always make sure pets receive consistent attention and care as part of my daily schedule. I believe every pet is unique, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether it is feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, or simply providing companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am especially patient with pets that require extra attention, such as young animals, senior pets, or those with special care needs. My goal is to provide a loving and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated and reassured that their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and honestly can’t imagine life without them🥰 Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each of their personalities. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds including Cocker Spaniels, Belgian Malinois, Shih Tzus, Springer Spaniels, and French Bulldogs, so I’m really comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own and just want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me 🐶❤️ I work full time during the week, but I’m available from Friday evening (6pm) through to Sunday to spend quality time with your dog. Weekends for me are all about walks, playtime, and relaxing together, making sure they feel comfortable and at home. I always aim to create a calm, happy environment where your dog feels settled and well cared for! I live in a dog-friendly flat with a secure fenced garden and no other dogs, so it’s a relaxed space for your dog to settle in. We’re just a short walk from a large field and close to Epping Forest, perfect for walks and fresh air. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, including any diet or medication, to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I will always keep you updated with doggy pics and updates throughout their stay❤️

About: I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every dog in my care. With over 9 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand how important routine and trust are, so I take the time to make each dog feel comfortable and secure. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving plenty of attention and care.

I offer a structured service that includes morning walks, personalised breakfasts, relaxation and playtime, additional walks at midday and in the afternoon, recreational activities, and preparation for bedtime, ensuring the physical and mental well-being of each pet. Owners can stay informed about their pets through this app, WhatsApp, text messages, Facebook Messenger or Skype. I conduct an initial assessment in a neutral location to observe your dog's behaviour and recommend an early drop-off for new boarders, if the owner deems it appropriate. I maintain a personalised routine for each dog during their stay and conduct daily health checks and cleaning with the owner's approval. I pay special attention to puppies under one year old, accepting only one at a time, providing support for house training and direct access to the garden. Thank you for trusting me to care for your beloved pet. With my dedication and experience, you can be assured that your pet will receive the best possible care while you are away.

Very adaptable on all days. I treat any pet how I treat my own. I love to walk so would always be out and about. Lots of cuddles and attention. Happy to have the dog on the sofa under a blanket. Spacious flat for the dog to be on their bed/blanket etc in our bedroom. Lots of room to play games and equally relax.

About: I am a professional dog carer with over 15 years of experience working with dogs across three countries: 10 years in the UK, 2 years in Australia, and 2 years in my home country of Canada. My passion for animals led me to start my own successful dog-walking business in Canada, where I built strong, lasting relationships with clients and their pets. Throughout my career, I have gained hands-on experience in dog walking, sitting, and behavioral understanding, catering to dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I prioritize safety, trust, and individualized care for each dog, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I currently work with a dedicated group of recurring clients but am looking to expand my services. Whether you need a dependable dog walker, a caring sitter, or someone who truly understands your dog’s needs, I am here to help. Contact me to discuss how I can support you and your furry friend! I do work full time but I have quite a flexible schedule working from home 2-3 days per week. Happy to discuss what you need to ensure it works for both of us. My approach involves more than just feeding and walking. It’s about creating a nurturing environment tailored to their needs. I take the time to get to know them. Introduce myself calmly, allowing them to approach me at their own pace. I like to discuss preferences you/your pet may have, such as diet, exercise, and what a normal day looks like. In my experience pets thrive on consistency. A predictable schedule also helps reduce anxiety and builds trust. I ensure my home is pet-proofed and safe. And the best part of this for me - Spend time playing, cuddling, or simply being present.

About: I have always had animals in my life from childhood. For the last 40 years I have had many cats that have all lived a long life and several large rescue dogs including German Shepards, Mastiff Cross and a Golden Retriever. At the moment I just have one old mastiff cross who gets on with all dogs and people. Have also had many small furry animals and a snake. I am happy looking dogs of all sizes preferably large dogs in my own home and happy to catsit or house sit for animals in their own home. I live in a semi detached house with a lorge fenced garden . I work parttime on a adhoc basis so fits in with animal care and my husband works from home all the time. So someone is around most of the time. Someone at home the majority of the time. Animals are allowed anywhere in the house and garden including sofas and beds. Large fenced garden, easy walking to the park or nature reserve. One or two walks a day depending on need

About: I have nearly 20 years of dog experience and am a highly active individual. I grew up working for a service dog training organization that helped pair trained dogs with victims of assault. I got to see first hand just how impactful and important our furry friends can be. Being a dog owner myself, I understand what it takes to keep a dog happy and healthy and would be eager to do the same for you! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and welcome all energy levels. What sets me apart from others is my background in dog training, even on walks I am always using those skills for the overall benefit of the dog. I currently have good availability in my schedule and would be happy to accommodate clients however I can. Having a dog of my own means walks are a daily and sometimes twice daily need. However I am happy to offer private walks as well depending on what is needed. Having worked with high profile and high net worth families in the past, I know the amount of integrity and trust that is needed to allow someone to come into your home. Rest assured with me you have all of that. I'll stay in communication throughout the visit and answer any questions or concerns that arise.
