Dog Walking in Thurrock

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who is excited to start my journey in dog walking and pet sitting. While I don’t have professional experience yet, I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I’ll treat your dog like my own and always follow your instructions carefully. Available fully on weekends, and on Wednesdays. Available on selected hours on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays. Not available on Fridays. Same day care may be considered. I prioritise safety, follow routines carefully, and provide a calm, clean environment. I give pets attention, regular updates, and ensure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for always.

“Daria is excelent! She is very responsible, reliable and loving. I've never seen my dog kiss someone so much as she did with Daria (including myself). I would 100% recommend her and will continue to book with her. Thank you Daria 😊”

About: I dog sat and child minded in the same house for 2 years . I have a deep love for animals and give them the best catered care I am currently working part time- self employed, so can fit walking, playing and spending valuable time with your lovely dogs in to my schedule. I have a very good nature for dogs and feel as though I can easily connect to them. I will make sure they feel comfortable, as I know it can be daunting for them having a stranger in their space

About: I have owned many different pets since I was young. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards.. you name it!! I currently have three small dogs of my own and absolutely adore them, as well as my friend’s cats! I have experience in walking, as well as looking after, other people’s pets and I always have an amazing time! I used to spend a week in a clients home while they were away, looking after their Labrador and four cats! I hope to be able to walk and take care of your pets too. I’m currently unemployed and am not in education, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your animals! I’m available most of the time, so my schedule is very flexible. I personally walk my dogs or take them into our fenced in garden, while keeping an eye on them. I can easily crate your dog if that is your preference, but if not then I won’t haha. I’d love to play around with your pets, or give them their distance if they aren’t playful. Whatever they need and makes them feel safe.

About: I have a Level 2 Diploma in Animal Management and I’m currently completing work experience at a doggy day care, where I help supervise group play, assist with feeding, cleaning, and making sure dogs are safe and comfortable. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more nervous dogs. At the moment, I offer dog walking and always make sure each dog gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and care. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I’m currently doing work experience at a doggy day care, but I have flexible availability for dog walking. I’m available most weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times to find something that works best for you and your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Through my day care experience, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, manage different temperaments, and keep dogs safe during walks and interactions. I always use secure leads, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I am the proud owner of Purr & Paw. I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for pets. I’m a cat owner myself after adopting through Cats Protection, which helped me understand how important routine and reassurance are for pets while their owners are away. I provide feeding visits, companionship, playtime and dog walks, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable in their own home environment. I’m reliable, patient and happy to follow each pet’s routine carefully. Pet care fits easily into my routine and I’m available for morning, daytime and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I offer flexible home visits and dog walking throughout the week and weekends, and I’m happy to arrange regular visits or holiday cover to suit your schedule. I focus on caring for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their usual routine while owners are away. Before visits begin I can arrange a meet and greet and ask owners to complete a short information form covering routines, feeding instructions and vet details. I always provide updates after visits and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed and well cared for at all times.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience as a dedicated pet mom to my energetic dog, Milo. Caring for him has taught me patience, understanding, and the joy of building a bond with a furry friend. I’ve also had the privilege of looking after the dogs of family and friends, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s entertaining playful puppies or providing gentle care for seniors, I treat every dog as if they were my own—offering love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home. Being active, I enjoy taking long walks, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’m also happy to adapt to your dog’s specific routine, whether it’s their feeding schedule, playtime preferences, or cuddling on the couch. My flexible lifestyle ensures your pet will feel cared for and comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I live in a cozy apartment surrounded by greenery and parks, perfect for regular walks and outdoor adventures. I share my home with Milo, my friendly German Pinscher, so I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure everyone gets along comfortably

About: 🐾 About Us My partner Kevin and I began pet sitting when we moved to Chafford Hundred in 2024 and have taken care of over 100 dogs since! I previously worked as a primary school teacher and now look after animals full time. We provide boarding and daycare for dogs in our home and I offer drop-ins, walks and daytime housesitting for dogs and cats in your home :) ⭐️ What Sets Us Apart We are fully insured, DBS checked and qualified! We hold an Ofqual certification in Canine Care, Behaviour and Animal Welfare at Level 3. We provide constant care, are experienced with dogs of all sizes from puppies to seniors, and are equipped to handle a variety of medical and behavioural issues. Above all, we are sitters who genuinely love the animals that we care for and will do everything that we can to make them feel at home. You can always expect regular updates with photos and videos of what they're getting up to! 🏡 Boarding & Daycare For Dogs We offer a home away from home and provide 24/7 attention to your furry friend. When we do go out, we usually take the doggies with us, and for overnight stays they are either with us or in their own room monitored via our pet cams. We walk each dog for a minimum of 40 minutes to an hour every day, on a different route each time, and cover all of their feeding, playing and cuddling needs! We record daily observations of your dog and supervise socialisation with other like-minded dogs. Daycare is £35 for up to 10 hours of care and is £5 more for puppies or during holiday seasons (plus Rover fees). Boarding is £5 more than daycare per 26 hours of care. We offer a £15 daily discount on a second dog from the same family. We are flexible if you need to book early drop-off or late evening pickup times and can provide our own secure transportation for boarding at an additional cost. 🔑 Drop-Ins, Walks & Housesitting For Dogs And Cats I provide in-home services for cats and dogs that prefer their own space, while Kevin cares for our dogs at home. I follow your pet’s daily routine the way that they are used to. From feeding, watering and administering medication to walking or providing cuddles and companionship, I will ensure all of your pet’s needs are met. I always send updates with photos and videos when I am with your pet and triple-check that your house is secure when leaving! 🗓️ Our Availability For Boarding & Daycare We are available every day for doggy daycare and long-stay dog boarding (unless we are fully booked!). We are usually up between 7am and 9pm but cater to early drop-offs and late pickups at the time of booking. For our returning doggies, we often have more calendar space and can help out last-minute with additional requests. Please check our calendar to see our upcoming availability and feel free to send us any requests that you might have :) 📆 My Drop-In & Housesitting Availability I am available for drop-ins and daytime housesitting for cats and dogs around our daycare and boarding schedule. I am not available on Thursdays between 10am-4pm and Fridays between 10am-1pm. I cycle to drop-ins up to 25 minutes away and travel further for housesitting. I keep my calendar updated for these services, so please see my upcoming availability and feel free to get in touch! 🏡 Our Home We live in a detached 3 bedroom house with a large, bright and sunny fully-fenced garden in a beautiful green area in Chafford Hundred. We are lucky enough to be right next to Chafford Gorges Nature Reserve where we walk the dogs in our care regularly. We love visiting our very many local parks and surrounding dog-friendly spaces, including wide-open fields and forests only a short walk away. We have no children. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, we only ever crate dogs if part of their usual routine, and if we are boarding dogs from different families, each will have their own room to sleep in. Dogs are always fed separately and supervised when interacting with other dogs for utmost safety. Between sits, we clean our house thoroughly for our next doggy guests. We are also a 5 minute walk from our local Medivet for peace of mind! 🥎 What We Provide We have ensured that every room in our house is dog-friendly and set up for playtime and comfort. We have everything from different sized dog beds to air conditioning for the dogs in our care. We provide all of the essentials (aside from your dog's usual food) including: toys for different play styles, treats & puzzles, bowls, travel bottles, towels, poo bags & puppy pads. We keep spare leads, "I'm staying with my sitter" ID tags with our details on and wearable nightlights while your dog is staying with us for extra security. We have grooming supplies from deodorising shampoos and wipes to brushes for different fur types. We also keep a doggy first aid kit for all kinds of ear, eye, skin, paw and digestion emergencies, along with a wearable cone if something's bothering your pup. Your dog will be kept secure with a safety gate at the front door and will be supervised by us and our pet cameras. We have thought about as many things as possible to ensure that your dog is given top-quality care. 🐶 Our Dogs & Our Intake Policy We live with our two Pomsky girls, Nala and Willow, who we adopted from a rescue in August 2025. Our girls are experienced doggy playmates and being 3 and 4 years old, don't bother other dogs. They enjoy cuddling on the sofa with their friends and playing in the garden if invited! We house up to 3 guest dogs at a time (unless two are from the same family). For the safety of all of our dogs, we are unable to accept dogs who display aggression or are uncomfortable with us handling them. We generally accept neutered males only (unless they are puppies or returning doggies!) but we accept unspayed females out of season.

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’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.
