Jessica was fantastic, first time using Rover for dog walking. She communicated perfectly even brought my Amazon parcel in as I wasn’t home. Will definitely use Jessica again.

About: I grew up with my parents who always have had dogs. I now own a dog who I regularly take to training. She is an absolute joy and I love her lots. We have been to traditional training classes plus we have just started agility training and I also follow the online Absolute Dog games techniques to train your dogs. This would make me ideal for someone who is at work. I am available to visit your dog once or twice a day depending on their needs. I'm available most weekdays during the day time. From 10am till 3pm. My catchment areas are, Hockley, Ashingdon, Rochford and Hullbridge. Please feel free to message me with any questions. If I'm marked as booked and you are local then there is always a possibility that I may be able to squeeze you in. My previous work experience has mainly been with horses and I am an Accredited Coach in horse riding. At the various stables where I have worked there have often been dogs so I really feel that I have been around dogs for many years.

About: I am currently transitioning from a professional corporate career to dedicate myself fully to my passion for canine care. As a mother and a lifelong dog owner, I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. I bring a high level of organisation, reliability, and professional integrity to my work, ensuring your pet is safe and well cared for while you are away. ​My experience is built on years of personal ownership and caring for the pets of friends and family. I am experienced with a wide range of breeds, but I have a particular love for Jack Russell Terriers. I enjoy their spirited personalities and the unique energy they bring, and I am very comfortable managing the "terrier attitude" with patience and consistency. To ensure I provide the best possible care, I am currently studying for my Level 3 in K9 Care and Welfare (VTQ). I believe that a consistent, predictable routine is essential for a dog's well being. During a typical home visit or walk from your home, I start with a thorough safety check of your dog’s lead and harness. We will head out to local spots for exercise and mental stimulation. After our walk, I ensure paws are wiped, ticks are checked for, and fresh water is provided. If I am sitting at your home, I strictly follow your dog's feeding, walking and garden schedule to keep their stress levels low. Your dog’s safety and your home's security are my absolute priorities. ​Vetted and Insured: I am fully DBS checked and operate with comprehensive pet-sitting insurance. ​Emergency Prepared: I am VTQ K9 First Aid trained (and I carry a pet specific first aid kit on all walks. ​I pride myself on clear, professional communication and will provide you with regular photos and updates throughout our time together so you have total peace of mind. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my day to ensure I’m available when dogs need me most. I dedicate two primary blocks of time to my furry clients: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM for morning and midday exercise, and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM for late afternoon walks. ​By keeping these windows consistent, I can provide reliable, on time visits that fit perfectly around my family commitments while ensuring your pup stays active and happy throughout the day. I believe trust is built through professional knowledge and genuine care. As a current student of the Level 3 Canine Care and Welfare qualification, I bring an academic understanding of dog behaviour and welfare to every walk. This helps me read body language effectively, ensuring your dog is always comfortable, happy, and stress free in my care. ​Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority: ​Emergency Preparedness: I am VTQ First Aid trained (in-person), meaning I have the practical skills to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. ​Home Security: I treat your home with the utmost respect, following all security protocols, ensuring gates are locked, and double-checking that your dog is settled and hydrated before I depart. ​Attentive Walking: I maintain full focus on your dog during our time together, staying alert to the environment and avoiding potential hazards or stressful encounters. ​I provide detailed updates and photos after every session, so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pup is in the hands of someone who truly understands and prioritises their well being.

Thank you to Francesco for walking my Labrador for the first time today! Francesco arrived with plenty of time for me to hand Nia over. He clearly loves dogs, knows how to handle an excitable lab and how to put them at ease - Nia loved him straight away. Would 100% ask Francesco to walk Nia again. Thanks again!

Wendy was lovely and we're really happy with her walking Albie. I highly recommend her and would ask her again if she were available in the future if we need to use a dog walking service. It gave us peace of mind that Albie was getting his usual walk and sticking to his normal routine while we were away. Thank you Wendy.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs. Whilst I was at university, I began dog walking as a hobby — helping my neighbours care for their dogs during the day while also giving myself a reason to get outdoors and do something that truly made me happy. What started as a small pastime quickly became something I looked forward to every day. Since then, my love for dogs has only grown, and I’m now the proud owner of a cockapoo called Peggy. She’s incredibly friendly, loves meeting new furry friends, and is always happiest when she’s surrounded by other dogs. I currently work remotely, which means I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pups the attention, play, and exercise they deserve. Having a dog of my own means I’m always ready for an adventurous walk, rain or shine! I’m also available for house sitting during the week or at weekends, and I’m happy to work around your needs to make sure your dog feels comfortable and well cared for. With plenty of experience caring for dogs in their own homes, I’m more than happy to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine to keep them calm, comfortable, and settled. If your pup enjoys playing and socialising, they’ll have a wonderful time spending the day with my friendly cockapoo, Peggy — she loves the company of other dogs! Above all, I’m always happy to follow your lead and care for your pet in the way that suits them best.
