About: Dogs are my passion in life, I offer a bespoke service looking after your fur babies whether it be for a couple of hours a day or whilst you’re on holiday. I’ve just relocated to lovely leafy Loughton and am literally minutes from the woods and the high street. I have a safe private garden for your pets to run around with. I only offer this service for a maximum of 3 guest dogs. I am fully insured with over 15 years experience as a dog sitter and walker and have just passed my NVQ level 2 grooming course with a distinction. I used to operate as Winchester Walkies when I lived in HIghams park and I took a brief sabbatical. I look forward to welcoming your dogs into my home and caring for them like they’re my own. Your pet will have my full attention as this is my full time job and a typical day will include wonderful wood walks, ball play in a secure fenced garden and naps wherever your pet prefers to perch whether it be the sofa or luxury dog beds! I have a fenced secure private garden, there are separate zones for dogs who may want to have some private time and there is plenty of shade in the garden so dogs don’t overheat. The cottage is also north east facing so will never get too hot in the summer months, your dog is my top priority.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so having a furry friend around has always felt completely normal to me! My parents currently have two Labradors and a Border Terrier who I spend lots of time with and regularly walk, so I’m very used to different personalities, sizes and energy levels. I absolutely love being outdoors and am always up for a long walk, exploring somewhere new or even having a four-legged running buddy! Equally, I’m more than happy with a slower stroll and plenty of cuddles on the sofa for dogs who prefer life at a gentler pace. I’m confident and comfortable around all types of dogs and would be happy looking after everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little more patience and care. Most importantly, I know how much dogs become part of the family. If I’m looking after yours, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’ll be treated like one of my own, with lots of attention, affection, walks and probably far too much fuss! 🐶🤍 During the week I work as a teacher, but outside of work I’m very active and love spending my free time outdoors. Walks and runs are already a big part of my routine, so having a furry companion with me makes them even better! I’m particularly available during evenings, weekends and school holidays, when I have much more flexibility and plenty of time for walks, playtime and company. I know every dog is different, so I’m really happy to follow the routine they’re used to at home, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any other little quirks that make them feel comfortable! I’m confident around dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little more patience. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, settled and very well looked after.

“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've been around dogs for most of my life, with my family owning dogs for the past 17 years. Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to help care for their pets when needed. I've helped care for my parents' dog, taking her on walks and working on commands like "leave" and "drop". I have four rabbits of my own, so I'm just as happy caring for small pets and can offer rabbit drop-ins too. I've also looked after my neighbour's cats while they've been away on holiday. I enjoy spending time with dogs and find that they usually settle well with me. I'll always aim to follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. As a mum of 2 I fully understand busy schedules. I can be available within school hours Monday - Friday with occasional, specific availability outside of this. My home environment is best suited to small, calm visiting dogs needing companionship due to my own pets. I have a secure front and back garden available for supervised toileting breaks. My main availability is for walks and drop in visits, where I can offer consistent care and attention in your pet’s own environment. I’m also very fortunate to be close to Epping Forest, Hainault forest, and surrounding green spaces, ideal for dogs who enjoy longer walks, exploring, or a good game of fetch. Locally, there are also plenty of quiet, safe streets suitable for regular lead walks.

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.

About: I am a professional dog carer with over 16 years of experience working with dogs across three countries. 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.

I am confident and responsible, I am happy to cater to the exact needs of your pet. From pets which need lots of help and attention, to pets who just need company in the house!

“Thank you very much for looking after Cosmo with such affection and diligence. He looked in good form on my return, with his thick coat without any knots! The daily reports for every walk was detailed and covered all details. Kerri kept time every day, as agreed. Very pleased with the service, and highly recommended. I have re-booked her already.”

About: I have taken care of my own dog since i was 8. He recently passed away and i am now craving the love of an animal again so i am desperate to look after your fury family. I have also dog sat for local dogs, ranging from puppies up to elderly dogs, so i an experienced for any occasion: poorly or playful. I can also help with pet training, medication etc. I am currently a university student so i have tonnes of free time and am living and studying primarily at home. Therefore i am available most times of the day, weekends and school holidays - extremely flexible. Doggy day care at my house is available 7.30am-4pm Monday-Friday- weekends are subject to other commitments I looked after my own dog from a puppy of 8 weeks up until he passed away aged 13. By doing this, i learned how to train and care for crazy puppies, adult dogs, as well as elderly dogs who require just as much attention as puppies and deserve it in their final years of life!!

“Manuela absolutely excellent. Very patient with my old dog Blue. He absolutely loved her. Thank you Manuela for such a brilliant personal service. It's nice to know that we don't have to worry.”

“I cannot recommend Sze enough! She is very careful and loving, has a perfect sensibility to feel and calm your dog, especially if (s)he is anxious like ours! Sze was the best dogsitter we were hoping for! We have a dog who can get very afraid by strangers and it was the first time that somebody would come get our dog in our flat to bring him out for a walk. As he can be quite territorial, we were very nervous about this. Sze was wonderful in reassuring that all would go well, she came to meet our dog the day before with us in the flat. The two walks went wonderfully well, and Sze sent great pictures and description of their walks! Thank you Sze!”
