Dog Walking Lawford

“Emma has been amazing! Emma walked our dog Lola while she was staying with my parents who can’t walk her as she is too strong. Emma is reliable and very friendly! It’s been a great peace of mind knowing Lola has had her own fab holiday with walks with Emma. We will definitely be using Emma again when Lola stays with my parents!”

About: I have a genuine love of animals and practical experience of caring for neighbours, friends and family pets. I also have theoretical knowledge a level 3 extended diploma in animal management. I am confident with daily walks, feeding schedules, following care instructions and making sure pets are safe, happy and always looked after whilst in my care. I am reliable, trustworthy and caring and will treat dogs as if they are my own. From Mondays to Fridays I currently volunteer for the Essex Wildlife Trust so I am flexible and free to dog walk and house sit your pets including at weekends. I train and play football for a local club but am happy to accommodate looking after your much loved pet around these commitments. From the beginning I will want to get to know your pet so I will spend time bonding with them, playing, talking and keeping them company. I know that pets like consistency so I will stay close to their normal routine which I will ensure I fully understand by asking for clear instructions from you. This includes knowing feeding times, portion sizes and any dietary needs and health requirements, where and when they are walked and their comfort toys and sleeping habits. I will add details of your vet to my pet plan should a medical emergency arise. If your pet uses your garden I will check that the gate is closed and the fences are secure before letting them out and I will then supervise and clean up their mess. I will send you regular updates and photos and of course report anything of concern immediately. I appreciate that it's not only your pet that I am responsible for but also your home which I will do my best to keep clean and tidy and follow any house rules that you give me.

“Ebony was amazing with Huxley & was very attentive to his needs as a big 6 months old puppy. We would highly recommend and use her again in the future. Thank you for looking after our big boy!”

About: Hi, I'm Charlotte! I've grown up with dogs, cats and other small animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. Alongside regularly walking dogs, my partner Joe and I also look after family and friends' pets whenever they need us to. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, we treat every pet as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after. We both work in the emergency services, so being reliable, trustworthy and dependable is second nature to us. We work around our shift patterns, which gives us flexibility to offer care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings and weekends. We're based in Ardleigh, where we're lucky to have plenty of lovely countryside footpaths and quiet walking routes right on our doorstep. Whether your dog enjoys a gentle stroll or a longer adventure, we'll make sure they get the exercise, attention and care they deserve. We know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and we'd love the opportunity to get to know both you and your furry friend. Our shift work gives us a flexible routine that works really well with pet care. As we both work in the emergency services, we have different shift patterns, meaning there is usually someone at home and we can plan our time around the needs of each pet. We love being outdoors and regularly enjoy going on walks and runs around the local countryside, so having a dog to join us makes it even better. We have plenty of lovely walking routes around Ardleigh and enjoy giving pets the exercise, attention and companionship they need. We also don't have any children or pets so our lifestyle is very flexible. We know that every pet is different, and nobody knows them better than their owner. Before looking after your pet, we’ll always take the time to learn about their routine, personality and what makes them feel happy and safe. We’ll follow your guidance so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. We have a secure, sizeable garden where they can enjoy some fresh air, play and explore safely. Our home is set back from the road, giving pets a quieter and safer environment, and we also have security cameras around the property for extra peace of mind. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, cuddles, exercise and downtime depending on what they’re used to. We understand that some pets need lots of interaction, while others prefer a little more space and a calm routine. When caring for pets in their own home, we know that staying in a familiar place can often be less stressful. We’ll keep to their normal routine, spend quality time with them and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, we want your pet to feel happy and relaxed, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being looked after by people who genuinely love animals.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, having grown up with them since I was 5 years old. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve had my own dog for the past 7 years. I’ve also regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs when they’ve been away, as well as helping out with my sister’s dog. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all different sizes and personalities — from little Pugs right up to gentle Great Danes! 🐶❤️ I’m also trained in pet first aid and CPR, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always a priority while they’re in my care. I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust. My aim is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable and loved while they’re in my care, giving them plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime and fuss. Whether your dog is small or large, energetic or a little more laid-back, I’ll treat them as one of my own and make sure they have a happy, comfortable time while you’re away. 🐾 I currently work part-time, which means I’m home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and have plenty of time to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 While you’re at work or away, your dog won’t be left feeling lonely — they’ll have lots of company, cuddles, playtime and attention throughout the day. I’ll treat every dog in my care as one of my own and make sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable in a loving home environment. ❤️🐶 Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my priority. 🐾 I’ll make sure every pup receives plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away, following their individual routine and needs. Walks will always be tailored to your dog — whether they prefer a gentle stroll around the neighbourhood, a longer walk, or plenty of time exploring and playing in the open space. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, supervised and having fun throughout their time with me, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️🐶

“Charlotte was brilliant with Rusty again, great communication and fab pictures! He always looks like he’s having a great time and Charlotte keeps me up to date and reassured that he is okay whenever she is with him. Thank you!”

I have a young child in school. My schedule is very flexible so I will almost always be able to fit around your pets needs. As a pet sitter coming to your home you can expect me to ensure the environment is left safe and clean for your pet as per your instructions. I have been a holiday rental cleaner for AirBnB for many years and am used to all types of houses, so you can rest assured that your home is safe with me.

About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.

I am available most days and can do 2 jobs per day whether that's 2 drop in visits or 2 dog walks. I will ensure safety at all times whilst you're fur babies are in my care. On the lead walking at all times and enduring doors are kept shut when pet sitting.

About: Hi, My name is Konstantin, you can call me Tino. I love all animals, Ive always had cats(plural) in my house. The more the merrier. Currently have a 13 year old named Itso and a 3 year old Robin. 2 boys, both ends of the spectrum in terms of character. Absolutely love them both and I'm excited to meet and look after your cat. Me and my partner have a 3 year old working cocker and a 4 year old mini dachshund who are an absolute joy to be around.long dog walks and runs in the rain are some of our favourite activities. All animals are welcome and I cant wait to meet your furry friends :) I start work early(5am) but I have the flexibility to delay my shift up to 8am, allowing me to fit in morning walks and toilet breaks if necessary with no notice required. In the afternoons I'm usually back by around 1-2PM giving me plenty of time for dog walks, toilet breaks etc and I am available for night stays every day of the week (Ofcourse If I stay over I can fit in a walk in the morning and spend some time with your furry friend before leaving for work) I am looking to shift away into online work very soon which will open up my day to more walks and toilet breaks in the net few months. I have a fenced garden with live grass. Both my cats have free use of a cat flap but that will be locked if your furry friend is with me unless I am out in the garden with them. I usually wake up early and feed the cats and we have a little scratch and play if they are awake when im getting up. When I get back they always come to greet me by the door if they are in the house, they are very punctual with that. We have a little cuddle on the sofa while having a little scroll on social media before their diner.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with many cats, and since I was little I’ve helped look after them, including taking in stray cats during my childhood. We also always had family dogs, and I loved spending time with them, playing, and taking them out for walks. In total, my whole family 5 dogs overall, so I’m very comfortable being around different breeds and personalities. I also have personal experience caring for a small tortoise named Frankie, so I’m used to looking after pets with different needs and routines. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, care, and companionship. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I’m available for dog walks, home visits, boarding, and overnight stays, and I can be flexible to suit your pet’s routine. I’m happy to help with whatever is needed to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I live in a small two-bedroom house, and although I don’t have a garden, there is a small nature reserve area just behind my home that’s perfect for dog walks. There’s also a bigger park about a 5 to 10 minute walk away, so there’s plenty of outdoor space and nature nearby for exercise and fresh air. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, safe environment.

About: I am a friendly and fun dog lover. I am a secondary school teacher who works during the weekdays!

I am available during half terms including the 6 weeks summer holidays to dog sit your in your own home or to drop in where it is needed. During the half terms and weekends I have no commitments and therefore your dog would be my only priority alongside my own! I work week days as a secondary teacher with availability from Friday evening- Sunday evening! I also have every school holiday/ half term available for pet care! I will look after your pet in your own home with the routine that they know and love. Each of my visits are tailored to what your pet needs and what you would like from my service.

About: I've always had dogs or cats throughout my life and I currently am a cat mum. I thoroughly love animals and care for them a huge amount. I am currently working hybrid and have a flexible schedule, so happy to workout timings with you when a care is needed for your pet/s I can not have animals in my home as I have a cat and I don't think she would like any visitors unfortunately and it wouldn't be fair on her. For any bookings I would speak to the customer about any possible safety issues they know of in advance from their side.
