I'm Felicity, I am currently studying marine biology at the university of Essex, I've always wanted to be a vet which I am still thinking of pursuing a career in.

I am DBS checked and pet first aid trained.

I currently walk dogs for a dog walking company based in Colchester and wivenhoe and I’m looking for more wagging tails to fill my schedule. I am happy to follow your dogs schedule exactly as they used to, to make sure your dog is as happy as can be. A little about my pets: I have a German shepherd cross malamute who is now 7 years old , three domestic shorthair cats, and three tanks of fish.

With every walk I of course check and top up water, top up food (when necessary), and clean up any messes made before and after each walk. I do dog walks and check ins, cat check ins, small pet check ins and fish feeding etc

Depending on where you are situated will depend on the walk I will take the dog on, wether it will be a woodland, field or beach walk, I will ensure they have time to run off that energy, if your dog can be let off the lead I have plenty of treats and a ball thrower ready in my car to help them run off that extra energy, for dogs that are kept on the lead I like to do some training, I may let them off in an enclosed area to help work in recall, I will of course ensure there are no other dogs in the area before doing so and if this is not a possibility then I usually take them on a jog.

It’s important to mention if the dog isn’t allowed specific treats or if there’s only certain treats they are allowed ie: high protein or vegan diets. I would of course need to know if any health conditions and if the dog is friendly weary or reactive to other dogs, this won’t effect me taking on the walk it just helps me cater to your dogs needs.
