About: I have had dogs most of my life as well as looking after other people’s dogs. I have a very well behaved cavalier who would like the company of doggy buddies. We like to have lots of walks. I work from home so am available at all times for well behaved dogs. I have an enclosed garden and can take dogs out regularly for walks long or short. I can offer boarding most nights. I have an enclosed garden that dogs can access at all times. I have wooden floors so messes are not stresses! I can accommodate most needs, just ask.

About: Hi, I’m a caring and dependable dog/Cat lover in Loughton, offering tailored pet sitting, drop-in visits, and fun-filled walks. Whether it’s a cozy overnight stay, a quick check-in, or an energetic stroll, your dog gets the love, attention, and updates they deserve—just like family Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s my full-time passion. I left my previous career to dedicate myself entirely to pet care, and I’ve never looked back. Every day revolves around giving dogs the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I live in an extremely spacious two-floor flat that's secure, cozy, and set up for your dog’s comfort. Just seconds from my door are acres of open green space—perfect for daily walks, sniffing adventures, and playtime. On weekends, I take my own dog (and any furry guests who want to join) on longer countryside treks for that extra bit of excitement and enrichment. Whether it’s an overnight stay, a drop-in visit, or a fun walk, your pup will be treated like family in a safe, loving environment. You’ll also get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in the best hands.

“We’re really happy to have met Sofia after looking for doggy day care near our temporary stay in Epping Forest. She hit it off with Archie straight away and he was very well looked after during the day. She’s an affectionate carer and made sure he got enough play and exercise time. She’s also very flexible which we appreciate a lot! We’re sad that she doesn’t live near where we live!!”

About: As the proud owner of my much-loved Charlie for over 14 years, and having regularly cared for my sister’s dog, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve. As someone who has worked in the NHS and has an Enhanced DBS check, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility and providing peace of mind. If you’re looking for a genuine dog lover who will care for your furry family member as if they were my own, please send me a message. I’d be delighted to answer any questions. I’m working from home, so I will have plenty of time for your furry babies. There will be plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, rest, and, of course, lots of affection. I believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, relaxed, and included, so they’ll be welcomed into my home as part of the family rather than simply being looked after. Before every stay, I’ll ask about your dog’s usual routine, favourite activities, feeding schedule, and any little habits that help them feel at home. I’ll do my best to keep things as familiar as possible, making the transition easier for both you and your dog. Your dog will have access to a fully fenced, secure garden where they can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the fresh air. Just a two-minute walk from my home is a beautiful woodland, along with several parks and open fields, giving us plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks and new adventures, tailored to your dog’s energy levels and preferences.

“Fantastic and very reassuring. Our puppy stayed with Charis for 3 days and seemed very happy when we picked her up. No fuss approach. Regular update given. Will definitely use Charis again in future”

About: We are a family of four and also proud owners of two lovely Cocker spaniels and a Bengal cat. I have had animals all my life, looking after them from puppies and kittens all the way through to old age. My two dogs are very friendly and well-trained, and they love other animals. They will enjoy having another dog to play with. I work from home, and have plenty of time to play with your dog, and they will get lovely long meadow walks twice a day. I have a large fenced garden for play and your dog can happily roam around. When we go for a walks, it is usually over the fields behind our house, which are all beautiful grassed meadows and great for long runs. The downstairs of my house is completely tiled so lovely and cool in the summer and warm in the winter when the underfloor heating goes on. I will accept crate-trained or non-crate-trained dogs, and I am happy for your pet to roam the whole house. I just ask that your dog is fully house trained although we know accidents can happen.

“Great communication and one happy puppy”

“Amy and Annabel were Luna’s first experience with doggy day care. She had the best time. They sent me updates throughout the day as well as videos and photos!!!”

About: With nearly 50 years of life experience and a lifelong devotion to dogs, I offer a level of mature, reliable, and deeply intuitive care that only comes with time. My journey as a dedicated pet parent began 37 years ago when I welcomed into my life my American Cocker Spaniel, named Joy, caring for him deeply throughout his beautiful 16-year life. That cherished bond taught me everything about canine companionship, from the playful energy of youth to the gentle, patient care needed in a dog's golden years.Since then, I have been the trusted, go-to caregiver and dog walker for family, friends, and neighbours, looking after dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that your dog is a treasured family member, and I treat them with the exact same love, vigilance, and respect that I gave my own. When your dog is with me, you get total peace of mind knowing they are in safe, highly experienced hands, enjoying walks filled with genuine affection, tailored pacing, and heartfelt companionship. **My Services** - Tailored Solo Walks: One-on-one attention, perfect for anxious, senior, or reactive dogs who prefer their own space. - Fun Group Treks: Carefully selected small groups for social pups who love to play and burn off energy together. - Post-Walk Care: Thorough paw-wiping on rainy English days, fresh water top-ups, and a text update with photos sent straight to you. As a full-time teacher, my routine is highly structured, allowing me to offer rock-solid reliability during my free hours. On weekdays, my school day finishes in the mid-afternoon, making me perfectly available for lovely late afternoon and evening walks to break up your dog's day or give you a relaxing evening. My weekends are completely wide open from morning until night, which is when I love taking pups on longer, more adventurous treks. Best of all, during school holidays (half-terms, Easter, Christmas, and the long summer break), my schedule opens up completely, allowing me to offer flexible, full-time daytime care and extra walks exactly when you need them most. My Availability Checklist: - Monday – Friday: Late afternoons and evenings - Saturdays & Sundays: Fully available (mornings, afternoons, and evenings) - School Holidays: Full-time flexibility (Half-terms, Summer, Easter, & Christmas) - Bank Holidays: Fully available for flexible daytime bookings Security & Vetting - Fully Insured: I carry comprehensive public liability insurance specifically for dog walking, ensuring complete financial protection and peace of mind for your home and your pet during our time together. - DBS Certified (Update Service): I hold a fully current, official criminal record check registered on the GOV.UK DBS Update Service, allowing you to instantly verify my background at any time for total peace of mind. - Secure Entry: I handle your keys with absolute confidentiality and always double-check that your front door is securely locked and alarms are set both when I leave and when I return. - Gated Transitions: I ensure your dog is securely on their lead before opening your front door to prevent any sudden slips or bolting. Out on the Walk (The Environment) - Secure Equipment: I always use your preferred collar, harness, and lead, checking that all clips are locked and fit snugly before we set off. - Safe Routing: We stick to dog-friendly local parks, quiet pavements, and secure pathways, entirely avoiding busy main roads and unsafe areas. - Vigilant Socialising: I keep a close eye on the environment to anticipate and avoid reactive dogs, off-lead hazards, or traffic, ensuring your dog always feels safe and unstressed. - Weather Awareness: I constantly monitor the British weather, adjusting our walking pace, seeking shade on hot days, or using shorter routes with indoor mental stimulation if it is freezing or pouring rain. "As an educator, I am deeply inspired by the joy of helping others. Bringing my patience, energy, and care out of the classroom and onto the trails to support local families and their beloved dogs is the most rewarding way I can spend my free time." - Vesna

“Great experience with Manuela - excellent communication and regular updates throughout our dog’s stay. A lovely home environment for dogs! Thanks for looking after Clover!”
