Don't Just Take my Word for it, Here's What the Clients Say...

Thank you so much for braving the freezing temperatures and the snow last week to walk Dexter, both he and I were really grateful! x

So Irritating!

Don't worry Jess, in a few hours you'll stop noticing it's even there!

A Day in the Life of a Travel Kennel

I've been very busy lately, lots of lovely dogs to walk, and I know some of the other dog walkers are a bit surprised that I can be walking dogs from 8am until 5pm. So here we go - one day in the life of a travel kennel.

My 8am (ish) breakfast walk, way out. Bobbi, Wire Haired Fox Terrier

Breakfast walk, way back, Inky, Beagle, and Bobby, Maltese. Also on the morning walk are my three dogs, Scamp, Beauty and Fred.

After I drop the breakfast dogs off I take mine home and feed them, usually around 10am. Then it's time to go and see Jess, gorgeous Border Collie Puppy, she has two visits a day, time all to herself. Here she is in the kennel having some brunch.

Straight onto my lunchtime walk - here's Charlie, Portugeuse Water Dog, on the way out - he's still under 6 months so 3 times a week he has puppy visits like Jess, but it's good to get pups out with sensible adult dogs as well.

And Baxter, Beagle, with Bingley, Whippet, on the way home.

Also on the lunchtime walk on this particular day were Moses, Dexter, and Dilly, who didn't travel in this kennel but deserve a mention! When I have 6 at lunchtime I take my glamorous assistant Will with me (so far he has avoided the camera) to help out (I never walk more than 6 at a time).

After all the lunchtime dogs have gone home to sleep the afternoon away, I visit Jess again, before collecting Max for a walk on his own around half past two.

After Max enjoyed his walk I picked up Bobby again,

to join Pebbles and Honey, Spaniels, for a 4pm walk. My dogs came along for the walk as well, but we don't need any more pictures of my dogs!

After Pebbles and Honey I went home and collapsed! 4 walks and two puppy sits, a total of 13 dogs, 5 of them twice (does that count as 18?).

Other days I'll have less dogs on the walks, but anything between 2 and 5 puppy visits to do. Some days I even have cats to feed too!

Vaccancies

If you have a puppy and are looking for a Puppy Package, I have NO weekly spaces available. I do have space on a Thursday and a Friday. These do go quickly, so if you need a puppy walker or sitter and are in Brentwood, Shenfield or Hutton please do let me know. My next weekly space is estimated to start between the middle and end of July 09.



For older dogs, I have one or possibly two weekly dog walking spaces open in the Brentwood station or High Street area within a group walk. I may be able to squeeze in a walk from another area depending on your requirements. I do not have any solo spaces available. Any earlier vacancies will be published via this blog.

If you are at home and need your dog walked for you, I have one space on a Monday and one on a Friday, if they can be walked in a group, at around 8am. I have group spaces every day from 4.30pm, solo spaces from 5.45pm. I do walk after dark where necessary, a reflective jacket is provided for your dog, but walks are limited to well-lit areas.

Cat sitting, rabbits, reptiles, rodents, places are available.

Home dog boarding - As I can only take in dogs from one family at a time, please contact me sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.


I now have contacts with other dog walkers, so if you need something you don't see here, please contact me as I may be able to pass your details on to another walker in the area.
