Meet the Team
The Founders
|
We're Jack & Chloe, and we were the original founders of GoGo Walkies, regardless of what our mum says! It was all our idea. We told her that we would really like it if we had a few friends come over and stay with us on a regular basis. A few fun woof woof friends that we could play with in the garden and go exploring on walks with was just what we wanted. We yapped at her heels and barked her into submission until she finally agreed that we could start GoGo Walkies. Mum has to take on the extra walks in a day to get fit so she can keep up with us on our walking adventures, otherwise you see she can't keep up.
Now we have lots of friends that come and stay with us. We all have a great time especially in the VIP dog room. That's right, our room just for us dogs! We commandeered it took out the human bed and put lots of dog beds and toys in just for us! We always like to make new friends, and we look forward to walking, playing and going on explorations with you soon. Till then, woof woof, Jack & Chloe |

I'm an enthusiastic dog person who is here to help you with your dogs day to day care. It can be hard to juggle all the pressures of life, and manage to fit everything into one day. A walk is one of the most important parts of a dog's day. A walk is the opportunity to be a dog, sniff all the smells in the air and stretch their legs. If for any reason you can't manage a walk on a day, I'm here to help walk your beloved four legged friend in the Stanway area.
I will tailor the walk to your dog's individual needs, making completely sure that you are happy with the service. I also offer house calls, if you are unable to get to your dog for feeding, and to be let outside. I offer a free initial meet and greet before any services are provided. This is so that you can meet me, and more importantly that your dog can meet me to see if I'm acceptable for the job. I also provide doggy daycare and boarding services in Stanway. I have two Chihuahuas of my own, and completely understand that a dog is part of the family. The dogs would have to meet prior to doggy day care and boarding so they can become acquainted with each other. Dogs that stay over in my home will be treated as part of the family in a loving home environment. Doggy daycare and boarding is always preferred to a kennel by dogs, and I try to make sure that they feel it is their home away from home. I have a wide selection of dog beds, but if your dog prefers their own bed, then do bring it with you. Due to the fact it is home boarding I can only take a maximum of three dogs per night at any one time. Puppy daycare is also available from 8 weeks old. My property is fully enclosed for your dogs safety and is easily located from the A12. My aim is not just to provide a professional service, but a service that will make you dog's tail wag. |

Hello, I'm Susan your local dog walker for the Lexden and Prettygate area of Colchester, including parts of Stanway. I've always had dogs in my life and have been a dog owner for over 16 years, thoroughly enjoying all the walks and times we have together. I want to make each dog walk as enjoyable for your dog(s) as I do my own, ensuring that they have the exercise they require along with the mental stimulation to keep their minds active. Fitness is very important to me, and walking is a way of life for me keeping me in shape. I'm happy to walk all weather as I don't think anything is as good for you as fresh air, except when conditions could be bad for health or for your dog's health.
House calls are also a service I offer to make sure that your dog is OK during the day while you are away at work, or an occasion that you can not get home. I will make sure that they have everything they need water, food, some time in the garden, and most importantly some love and affection. |

Nice to meet you. I am a dog walker and pet sitter in the Colchester area. I adore animals and believe no home is complete without one. While you are at work or for any reason that you can not look after your cat or dog I will pop in to check they are ok. During this time I will make a complete fuss of your four legged family member, and make sure they have everything they need, such as water and food as required. I also offer walks for dogs in the Colchester area. I will tailor the walk to suit your dogs needs, ensuring it's welfare and well being are the main priority. I believe an active healthy dog is a happy dog, and a happy dog is a happy home.
About me, I am happy outgoing mum of two who has owned pets all of my life. My daughter sometimes will come on walks with me, as I believe where possible it is a good opportunity to socialise dogs around a child who is used to interacting with all types of dogs, plus she absolutely loves dogs. I enjoy the outdoors, and walking in the countryside all weathers. My favourite time of year for walking is autumn due to the changing colours and the crisp air as winter approaches. I look forward to walking your dog in every season. |

I offer reliable dog walking for your dog in the Greenstead and Longridge area of Colchester. I have an outgoing and friendly personality and am mad about dogs. Having had dogs in the past I know how important they are, and that they are a valued member of the family. I will make sure that your dog receives all the care and cuddles it needs while you are out and about. Walking is a great way for your dog to learn, socialise and keep fit, and I'm here to make sure that your dog has the best care on their walk.
Additionally I also offer pop in services to make sure your dog has everything they need in the day. I will check their welfare making sure they have clean water and food, access to the garden and social interaction.

A real dog friendly person, I help from time to time with the daycare of your dog at GoGo Walkies. I help ensure that your dog receives constant care and attention and that all their needs are being tended too. I will walk your dog solo if required, or in group walks with other daycare guests. I am a strong believer in play and socialisation for dogs, and will make sure that even if your dog can't walk for long that they have lots of interaction, affection and play time. I work on a reward good behavior approach and use this to help form part of the enrichment programme that has been tailored to your dog's stay.
Personally I am a mother of three, who has encouraged all my children to safely interact with dogs. Dog's I believe can teach children and adults so much enhancing our lives. A dog is part of the family, and while you are away I will treat your dog as if it were part of my own family. |
