Hi there 👋I'm Christina the Rochford District Dog Walker I am currently transitioning from a professional corporate career to dedicate myself fully to my passion for canine care. As a mother and a lifelong dog owner, I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. I bring a high level of organisation, reliability, and professional integrity to my work, ensuring your pet is safe and well cared for while you are away. My experience is built on years of personal ownership and caring for the pets of friends and family. I am experienced with a wide range of breeds, but I have a particular love for Jack Russell Terriers. I enjoy their spirited personalities and the unique energy they bring, and I am very comfortable managing the "terrier attitude" with patience and consistency. To ensure I provide the best possible care, I am currently studying for my Level 3 in K9 Care and Welfare (VTQ). My Routine and Care Approach I believe that a consistent, predictable routine is essential for a dog's well being. During a typical home visit or walk, I start with a thorough safety check of your dog’s lead and harness. We will head out to local spots for exercise and mental stimulation. After our walk, I ensure paws are wiped, ticks are checked for, and fresh water is provided. If I am sitting at your home, I strictly follow your dog's feeding and garden schedule to keep their stress levels low. Safety, Trust and Training Your dog’s safety and your home's security are my absolute priorities. Vetted and Insured: I am fully DBS checked and operate with comprehensive pet sitting insurance. Emergency Prepared: I am VTQ K9 First Aid trained and I carry a pet specific first aid kit on all walks and have your dog's veterinary surgery details. Specialised Care: I am very comfortable with various temperaments. For nervous dogs, I use a patient, low-pressure approach to build trust at their own pace. I pride myself on clear, professional communication and will provide you with regular photos and updates throughout our time together so you have total peace of mind. Walks are 30 minutes from your home but if you need longer please let me know. Only your dog will be walked. Pack walks are coming soon. I know my pup loves a good hour or two! Thank you for your support
