Top-rated Thurrock dog walkers

“We have been using Leanne and Kane now for a few months and I couldn't recommend them enough. Our dogs love them and they are always very professional, punctual and have followed our instructions perfectly as our dogs can be reactive around other dogs during walks. With my chihuahua who is quite nervous, they've taken the time to allow him to settle with them, and been very patient and gentle with him and now he loves them. Absolute 5 star dog walkers”


“Could not recommend Daria enough. She is amazing with Leo, he warmed to her straight away. Every walk I receive an update of how he is/how the walk went, as well as photos. Thank you so much Daria! Xx”


“Laura is great with our pup Willow. Felt perfectly safe letting her into our house to pick Willow up for a walk, was really attentive and sent lots of photos of the fun they had together. She let me know when she was on her way, asked for specific instructions and left our house as she found it. Would highly recommend!”


“Dannie is an excellent dog walker, Barney and Kiki enjoyed their walks with her whilst I was away. Punctual and professional, I will be using Dannie’s services again in the future. Thank you so much!”

About: Hey! I've been obsessed with animals since forever, having my first pet, a Pomeranian when I was 7, and then upon attending boarding school, spending most my time with the Head Teacher's labradors, teaching them tricks and buying them treats. I've been surrounded by dogs via by brothers cockapoo and sister's shitzu, and I am now proud to have a doggie of my own - Nova for frenchie.Since getting Nova, i’ve done a tonne of dog sitting for neighbours, family and work colleagues. The experience gained through all of this really has helped me with - Accountability - Safeguarding pets - Dog training (I've read 2 books on doggy obedience and training) - General dog care. I can take same-day/last minute bookings (I've had to do many myself so can understand the need for it). I also record and send personalized & professional content. I have an Enhanced DBS. I understand the importance of meet & greets, so if you require one, please do let me know. Lastly, my pup is a sucker for people and other dogs (she adores the attention and the fun), so your dog must be friendly I work from home Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and so can be quite flexible. I also drive, and offer an affordable and feasible pick-up add-on if needed. Let me know of any - restrictions - desires/preferences I can flex my approach to best suit your dog's usual schedule, as I recognize ease dog's treatment is unique.

Me and my partner have recently bought our own place and we are currently saving to get our own doggy so in the meantime would absolutely love to look after different dogs. We are caring, reliable and live next door to a large park. We love to exercise, go on regular walks , but also cuddle in doors with our furry friends. I currently have a fully remote role so work from home every day. I can take regular breaks and go on walks when needed with a large park 2 minutes from our apartment. We live on a ground floor 2 bedroom apartment in a secure building which only allows residents in with a fob and key. We have a decent sized balcony that’s is fully secure and has privacy screening.

About: I have always had cats in my life and have looked after friends and families dogs since I was young. I also have a 1 year old sausage dog that loves other dogs! I work from home Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I am also home most weekends due to having my own dog that I rarely leave alone. I have a fenced in garden with a very friendly sausage dog and 2 cats. The cats are very well socialised with dogs and mostly stay away from them and let them do their own thing

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life with a range of different animals from fish, lizards, Guinea pigs, cats, small dogs and big dogs. I’ve also card for senior dogs. As well as helping out with elderly neighbours and relatives with feeding and walking their fury friends! I currently have quite a bit of free time so I will be able to fit you in whenever you need! And will also enjoy playing with your pets! I will keep to your routine of what you would do with your pet for example if they’re let out three times a day and fed at certain times that’s what I’ll do. If they’re not allowed anywhere (on the sofa or in the house with muddy paws 🐾) then I’ll keep to this routine

About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 15 and plenty of experience with different breeds and ages including chihuahua puppies, senior staffies and rescue bulldogs. I can no longer have dogs full time myself so I would love to be able to care/love for others. I drive which means I am able to travel to your pets as and when needed. I am currently not working and my child goes to nursery 3 days a week so I have plenty of time spare to spend with the animals I care for. I live in a duplex (a house in a low rise block) with 2 large balconies and a communal garden. I live right on the water where lots of people walk their dogs and a crate available if needed.

About: I have been dog sitting for 5 years now and love it. I have a big country park very close so my dogs get plenty of exercise and even a swim in the lake if it's hot enough. I'm available 24/7 but as I'm not driving at the moment it's hard to be available for more then 2 drop ins a day, but that's depends on distance to travel. My garden is well fenced off and save, dog friendly home. When my regular dogs come over they're so happy to see me and I can't wait to see them too, I think that shows how much fun we both have. I treat each dog as I would my own, Peace of mind is very important.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for many years, always enthusiastic to help out and meet new dogs , getting to know their quirky personalities! I currently work from home, so love making sure I am getting out during the day! Socialising with the pets would make work from Home a bit more fun! I have a fenced garden, and a large field outside to walk. I also have a well behaved, friendly cocker spaniel, keen to make some friends !

About: I worked in a kennel and cattery for just over 10 years, so have handled many breeds of dogs, at various ages and sizes I've had my own pets and looked after Friends and families pets over the years I work full time, however I am based at home 4 days a week, and there will be someone in the house on the day I go to the office. I have a secure garden and have a baby gate In front of my front door. Dogs have the run of the house, but tend to follow me and lay next to my desk whilst I work, which leads to the back garden, which I have full view over from my desk

About: Having a puppy myself, I know how important finding the right care for your dog is. I have trained my pup to sit at the curb before crossing the road and to wait when the front door is open, plus many tricks such as lay, roll over, turn around, high paw, etc. This training can too be provided to your dog with lots of treats as a reward. Pets are the most important for pet owners so I strive to make dogs as happy as can be whether it be long walks, sunbathing together or playing with toys for hours on end. Looking after a dog isn’t just about taking care of their basic needs, I also offer lots of fun to make sure they’re happy. We’ll keep their tails waggin’ :)
