Hi, I'm Poppy!
A fully licensed and insured dog sitter, boarder and walker.
Providing a home from home service. Your dog will be treated as one of my own and will be very well cared for.
With over 10 years experience
looking after various breeds of dogs, giving them undivided attention, cuddles, walks, overnight stays, day care and anything else as and when required.
I have a dog of my own who adores all other dogs (and people!). He can sense if a dog is quite a bit older than him and takes it easy playing with them or knowing when to leave them alone entirely. He is great at picking up on how to act and behave around other dogs.
Covering Dunmow, Essex and surrounding areas
Less than 10mins from Stansted Airport, perfect to tie in drop off / pick up with flight times!

SERVICES
SERVICES
DOGGY DAY CARE
A typical day starts off with a nice walk. I have lots of fun walks in the countryside right on my doorstep.
Once back and they've had a snooze, we will play together, have lots of cuddles and rest assured your dog/s will be very well looked after
DROP-IN VISITS
If your dog is too young or too old to go out for walks, and doggy day care is not quite for them, I provide a drop-in service.
I will let them out to the toilet, stay and play for a while, give them any meals or snacks and plenty of cuddles, before ensuring they are settled back down again
OVERNIGHT BOARDING
Providing a home from home service for our beloved furry friends.
If your dog/s are allowed on the sofa at home, or if they sleep in your bed / bedroom, they will be treated in the same way in my home.
Your dog/s will instantly feel at ease and will settle in straight away
DOG WALKING
I come to your property and do a walk from there. I'm great at exploring and finding new routes to walk wherever the location.
I provide solo walks that are 45mins-1hr, or shorter depending on your dog's needs, as every dog is different
Pick up and drop off services available if required. Please mention when booking

Alfie had a wonderful time with Poppy and her adorable puppy. He was treated like family, and I will have no hesitation in rebooking for Alfie to stay with his new friends again.

Delighted to have found Poppy as she made our dog feel at home immediately.
From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. We had total peace of mind whilst away.
Poppy kept us updated with regular photos and messages, and it was obvious that our pup was not only well cared for but also happy, relaxed, and having fun.
It’s a relief to have someone we trust completely, and we will absolutely be booking again. If you’re looking for someone responsible, attentive, and truly passionate about animals - look no further!

Nutmeg had a wonderful time with Poppy.
We were stuck last minute without a place for our 2 year old Australian labradoodle to stay over the extended bank holiday period and were fortunate to find Poppy. Poppy, an obvious dog lover, was responsive, caring, provided good photo and text updates and thoughtful - eg taking our guy out early and late for walks on a particularly hot day. We would definitely use Poppy again!

We are absolutely over the moon we chose Poppy to have our dog for a few days whilst we went away. We wanted him to stay in a home environment and not in kennels. Poppy gave us regular updates to let us know how he was getting on and when we came back we could see he had been well looked after and was happy. Thank you so much Poppy, we will definitely get in contact when we need him looked after again :)

Mungo absolutely loved his visit to Auntie Poppy. He had the best time ever!
Poppy sent me some gorgeous pictures of his day for my peace of mind as I had never left him before.
I would highly recommend Poppy's Poochy Paws for a full day care experience.
