Dog Walker Witham

| Having worked in a fast paced corporate environment for over 20 years, I decided to take a side step and start up a business of my own, something that I have always been passionate about and loved......animals. As children we were surrounded by various different pets from birds, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, cats and dogs. I also owned my own horse when I was younger and took part in many local shows. Animal welfare is very important to me and we regularly support local charities to help with the great job they do to give less fortunate animals a better future. I have completed a Diploma in dog walking and pet sitting and I'm fully insured. I offer an introductory visit to discuss your pets requirements where you will be supplied with a booklet containing all the paperwork to support my business including terms and conditions, insurances etc.

| I am a dog lover, I have 3 dogs of my own and would like to help if anyone is in need of dog walking or feeding their dog, etc. Please feel free to get in touch and have a chat with me.

| Hi I’m Ellie, I’m 24 and live in Tiptree with my partner and little girl. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a child so I understand the care, love and lots of walkies!! I love the outdoors and going for walks big or small I think it’s important to get a bit of fresh air everyday. Both me and my partner are huge animal lovers and we love having a furry companion. we haven’t yet bought a doggy of our own but that is definitely on the cards in the very near future!!! However we do own many different reptiles which we have done now for 5 years, our scaley friends consist of a bearded dragon, iguana, leopard gecko, water dragon, snake and a piranha!! I feel I am very knowledgeable around the care and feeding of reptiles and we have close connections with a reptile shop owner who is always on hand to provide help and extra information. I am flexible with days and times and have plenty of availability. I am available for dog walking or looking after your furry or scaley friend.

| I am a 22 year old dog walker/handler. I have over 10 years of experience with all kinds of animals! I own 2 of my own horses, have worked on farms, looking after dogs, pigs, sheep, cows & more!

| I have been walking the same dog for just over 12 months now, l am currently walking him once a week(on borrow my doggie) and really enjoy it. I wouldn't class myself as a professional as l do not have my own business or anything like that. l am just a person who has a passion for dogs and love spending time with them. I used to have a dog myself called Hazey (staffie) who was my world. I am now insured and hold a canine first-aid qualification. Also achieved the City and Guilds practrial competence in dogwalking. If interested please feel free to message me. Although Dog walking is definitely my main interest, l can do house sitting for dogs and cats if needed. Look forward to hearing from you.

| Hello there. I have no profession for dog walker/sitter but I have owned dogs before dogs of all sizes and though I do prefer medium to large dogs. When I walked my dogs I would not let them pull me I’d like them to sit before crossing the road also would like for them to sit to get there leads in. I love dogs so they’ll get a lot of love and care from me. I would prefer to stay in witham as I live in witham also the river walk is a lovely walk. Thankyou for looking at my profile. X

| Growing up on a farm, we always had dogs and cats. There I learned to take care of them as well as sheep, chickens, goats, pigs, horses, fish,etc. As a teenager, I did a lot of house and pet sitting/care for neighbours, family and friends. As an adult, I have worked as a dog Walker /pet sitter and feeder for a company as well as for myself. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. With my own car.

| I have grown up with dogs all my life, but as I work Monday to Friday, I don’t have time to own my own dog and have the time for the commitment that owning a dog comes with. I would like to start dog walking over weekends and school holidays as I work in a school. This gives me the opportunity to spend time with dogs plus I get lots of exercise! It’s a win win for me!

| Hi! I’m a friendly student-teacher who has 10+ years of dog walking experience. Comfortable with all breeds, fully licensed with own car and full DBS check available on request.

| I have experience looking after my own pets at home. In a house with two dogs, two cats, six guinea pigs, a rabbit, six snakes and a tortoise, that I all care for, as well as previous experience with fish, rats, gerbils, hamsters. Owning border collies has helped me develop skills in dog training and dog walking. Especially since my own dogs are nervous and have to be walked and trained in a delicate matter, making sure not to train bad habits. From owning my own small pets, I am confident in grooming guinea pigs and rabbits including, brushing fur, cutting long fur to stop it from tangling and claw cutting. My main source of knowledge is in reptiles, I own many species of snakes myself, including a milk snake, two royal pythons, two western hognoses, and a boa constrictor. From this I have gained experience handling nervous snakes, large snakes because they boa is 8 foot long, and mildly venomous snakes such as hognose as. I am confident in feeding snakes and other species such as geckos and lizards, and am not afraid of getting bit meaning I am happy to help tame the more defensive species.

| For all the reasons below dog walking is my ideal job! I am a retired Civil Servant - 25 years in the Ministry of Defence. Now I am retired I have been walking a friend's 4 dogs for a year, and unfortunately she is moving away. I love dogs so much but can't have my own as I have 2 lovely very spoilt cats whose worlds would end if I introduced a dog! Not only do I love dogs but I need the exercise too, dogs keep me fit and are a great motivator as well as being very therapeutic.
