Dog Walking in Epping Forest

“Mary made sure both Rainha and I were comfortable with the first walk. She made sure she understood all the cues we use and that Rainha would be safe before letting her off lead. I was quite nervous about having Rainha walked by a stranger but Mary made everything very easy and I will be using her on a regular basis now for walks and hopefully pet sitting too.”

“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: I have always loved dogs! I have spent pretty much my whole life surrounded by them and I see them as family. I am super passionate about their wellbeing and I have a perfect understanding of their needs. I currently have a German Shepherd female (20 months old). She is super friendly and loving. I have a 13 month old baby who goes to nursery (3 days a week) and I spend my time at home, with my dog (Frida). We go for daily long walks in the fields twice a day and we play in the garden when the weather allows Your dog will feel at home as we don’t have any restrictions in terms of space. We have a large garden and we live in a green area with loads of fields. We go to Epping Forest in the weekend and it’s such great place for fun adventures.

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: Since a child I have always had dogs. Training puppy’s is always something I loved to do. I also have a puppy who’s 7 months currently, His name is Finley. He’s full of energy and loves to go for long walks but equally just relax on the sofa watching tv. I live with my girlfriend who always WFH. I also have 3 days off a week and my shifts vary. 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’m a 21-year-old lifelong animal lover who has always been surrounded by pets. I’ve personally owned and cared for German Shepherds, Pomeranians, Jack Russells, French Bulldogs, and Labradors—so I’m very familiar with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and for over 5 years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, trustworthy, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently studying online, which gives me 100% flexibility with my schedule. I’m available 24/7 for pet care and can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Being home most of the time means your furry friend will get constant attention, love, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because spending time with animals is truly one of my favorite things to do. I always make sure each dog’s specific needs are met—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, administering medication, frequent walks and bathroom breaks. In your home, I follow your rules exactly and treat your space with respect, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and safety at all time.

About: I have a few years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments for family and friends. From energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, I understand that each pet has their own needs and routines. My goal is always to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every animal in my care. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and compassionate, treating each pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, your dog will receive the care and attention they deserve I am currently a full time firefighter so my schedule is based around my shift work. I pride myself in being able to work around my main job to be able to look after the pets to the best of my ability. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to make them feel completely comfortable and secure while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding times and routines to their favorite walking routes and play activities — to keep things consistent and familiar. Safety is always my top priority; I stay alert on walks, use secure leads, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and surroundings. I take time to build trust through calm, positive interactions, so your pet feels happy and cared for. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after each visit or walk, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, content, and in good hands.

About: I’m Issy - a 29-year-old dog lover living in Buckhurst Hill and would love to help care for your furry friends. Growing up with dogs from an early age, a wagging tail has always been at the heart of the home. Over the years, I’ve gained experience walking and looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for family and friends. During my time at university, I volunteered with the Dog Walking Society, where I helped walk dogs for owners who were no longer able to. It was an incredibly rewarding experience being able to give dogs the love, attention and exercise they deserve. I offer dog walking and sitting services and will tailor my care to suit your dog's needs, whether that’s a long run around the park or a gentle stroll and some belly rubs. If you’d like any more info or arrange a meet-and-greet, feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine and I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of flexibility to look after your furry friend. I always aim to care for dogs in their own home where possible. I find pups are usually happiest and most relaxed in familiar surroundings, and it allows me to stick closely to their normal routine, walks and feeding schedule. I don’t currently offer care in my own home as we have a reactive dog, so looking after your pup in their space means I can give them my full attention in a calm, stress-free environment. I’m very respectful of owners’ homes and will always treat both your dog and your space as if they were my own.

Playtime Paradise - our play area are designed for maximum fun and safety. We do regular "walkies" and exercise is woven into the daily routine, ensuring your dog stays happy, healthy and entertained. 5.

Holidays and festive seasons are available full time, and your paws will follow my shadow all day. I have a fenced yard, with green grass and a full dog friendly house.
