Dannie was absolutely fantastic with my senior German Shepard Blue! She took the time to get to know him and understand his needs. She kept me updated all throughout and sent many pictures which put me at ease. I will be using Dannie again and would definitely recommend her. Big thank you to Dannie from me and Blue!
Daria has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Puffy. She’s so calm, patient, and genuinely kind, which made such a difference as Puffy felt comfortable with her straight away. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she looks after and handles everything with such a gentle, reassuring approach. I always feel at ease knowing Puffy is in such safe and caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and lovely dog walker

Jess’ communication was great throughout which allowed us to be worry free. Jess also managed to handle my two big dogs by herself, which isn’t always an easy task. We will definitely be using Jess again and we are lucky to have found someone like her in the area.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Thurrock.
