“Megan was a pleasure to have in our home and look after Poppy. She was easily contactable during our holiday and Poppy was a happy healthy dog on our return. She left our home tidy, and was respectful of our home. Will definitely use Megan again in the future.”

About: I work in private healthcare. I am an avid hiker, enjoy photography, reading and food. I had studied psychology, which is highly applicable to animals, regarding training and understanding. Growing up I have cared for animals, since birth we have had cats, and since nine we had dogs. We had three dogs, and five cats, the eldest cat living till 27 and dogs living till 16 years old. Throughout this, I have actively participated in looking after our pets, from puppy/kitten through senior years. along side this, I have looked after horses, fish, reptiles and other dogs. 🐕 I have previously handled multiple breeds including, bullmastiff, pitbull, staff, ridgeback, frenchies, English bulldogs, Shih Tzu, chihuahua, labs, golden retrievers and more. so I have rather a wide knowledge of dogs. Overall, I have cared for a multitude of animals: horses, farm animals, fish, reptiles, cats, hamsters, birds, and many more. 🐾 If you have and queries, please message me, thank you ☺️ I am currently working full time. However, my occupation hours are abnormal, allowing me to care for pets in my spare time. Please message me for availability 📩 I am able to deal with a wide range of pets, breeds, sizes, and requirements. Animal welfare (mental and psychical health) is highly important to me. I am able to follow instructions, rules and preferences. Additionally, I can administer medication, give emotional support and aid their physical needs. Updates on pets are available, which will be asked upon finalisation of agreement. 😊 When walking I carry a slip lead and other extra precautionary devices to avoid emergencies while on walks. In despite of this, I walk dogs in areas they are likely to thrive in, based on personality, age, ability, and general characteristics. Meet and greets are necessary, I want dogs to be comfortable with a new person in their environment, it also allows me to get the chance to know your pet a little better. Nevertheless, once they are being cared for, I will give them everything they need and more.

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.

“Maddie was amazing with our 10 week old cockapoo Joey. She gave us regular updates throughout the night and was so natural with him. Will definitely use again!”

“Rocco had a good time with Morgen. Rocco can be a bit much cos he loves people and just wants to play and being a strong boy he can get a bit much but Morgen was great.”

About: Having grown up with dogs, cats, hamsters and goldfish I am an animal lover and have lots of experience looking after pets and feel very comfortable around any sized dog having looked after them my whole life. My job allows hybrid working and I tend to work from home at least 3 days a week so am very flexible and happy to make things work. Myself and my boyfriend live in a house with a garden on a farm. There is lots of space for nice walks or just relaxing at home.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and they are constantly the best thing in my life. I’ve always loved animals but having pets that become part of your family is so special which is why I would love to help anyone out as I know it can be difficult at times to make sure they’re living as happily as can be! I work part time and am in college a few days a week but I still find myself having a lot of spare time especially in my evenings from 3 onwards. I also have two days off college where I feel I could be a lot of help to others even just for a dog walk. My routine never changes it is the same weekly so I would be happy to schedule weekly sessions to keep routine. I have a fenced garden so no escaping I’m afraid😂 I am more then happy to crate your animals if needed as I understand keeping them in your usual routine is important. I have a dog and a cat who love other animals which of course will keep yours company !
