Animal lovers, Brentwood based

Dog Walker Brentwood

by Jim and Emily

We walk dogs around Brentwood, Shenfield and Hutton, visit cats at home, sit while you are out, and look after a few dogs at our house, including doggy day care. We also feed rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, parrots and fish. Postcodes CM13, CM14 and CM15. The first walk is free. The full list is on areas and postcodes.

We publish videos of your dog’s walks and playing on our YouTube channel, so you can see what your dog is doing.

We are Jim and Emily, a dad and daughter who genuinely like animals. Jim is ready for a kinder chapter after years in the fire brigade, and he is DBS checked and insured. Emily is studying Animal Care at Writtle College. At home we have Jake and Poppy, our Jack Russells, and three cats who already run the house.

A small pack, on purpose

Jim is looking to walk and look after a few animal friends, not run a van full of strangers. You get the same two people, the same dogs they live with, and updates that sound like they came from a human.

Why the leads are in our hands

Jim has spent his working life in the fire brigade. He is still officially serving, and hoping to leave very shortly. He wants the next chapter to be walks, feeds and animals who are pleased to see him.

Emily grew up in the same house as the dogs and cats, and she is currently studying Animal Care at Writtle College. She is the other half of the business.

Jake is 12 and Poppy is 3. They still want the walk, the sniff and a social with dog friends who are polite about it. If your dog likes company, they are good references. If your dog wants a quiet solo, that is fine too.
