House Sitting in Colchester

“Ana was nothing but absolutely amazing. She sent me so many updates, this was our first time using Rover but will hopefully only use Ana going forward. She walked Nala everyday, played with her and was just amazing. I would recommend her to anyone! ?”

“Charissa looked after our little nervous dog Ivy. I have to say from the moment we did the meet and greet with Charissa till this weekend when she looked after little Ivy, Charissa was amazing and very professional with Ivy. She sent us regular updates and pictures reassuring us whilst we were away as we had only had Ivy a couple of weeks. Charissa was simply amazing and such a wonderful caring young lady. My partner and I would have no hesitation in using Charissa again and would recommend using her. Thank you Charissa. Mark, Jo & Ivy”

“Melisa was absolutely amazing with little Harley. She asked lots of questions to make sure that my pup was having the best experience possible. Harley can be quite shy around new people but when I came back I saw that she was completely comfortable around her and seemed to adore Melisa! Thank you so much for such a lovely experience to ease my mind and know that my pup is in loving hands whilst I’m away.”

“Thank you so much Barbora for looking after my babies. They’re not always the easiest but I had complete faith you would take good care of them x”

“Leah would make an excellent dog sitter/walker. She has been brought up with dogs and has always shown them the utmost love and patience to them. She is a very caring, responsible and trustworthy young lady and would be a welcome addition to your pets life.”

“Philip has owned dogs for as long as I’ve known him, up until recent years when his beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier passed on at the ripe age of 17. He is experienced with Labradors, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Staffies and French Bulldogs, amongst other breeds! He loves a good country walk (sometimes spotted in a pub en route), and dog cuddles on the sofa.”

“I met Alex in 2013-2014 when I was looking for someone who would walk our dog, Bertie, in exchange for the pleasure of doing so and along came Alex to the rescue. It is no exaggeration to describe the rapport that she established with him as the most committed and caring I could ever have hoped for. Not only did this arrangement last until Bertie passed away of old age a year ago but it eventually changed into an arrangement that included Alex looking after our dog and cats and home when we went away. We regard Alex as a friend and trust her completely, as her passion for animals and her dedication to ours has been consistently there over the years. Our pets, Bertie in particular, simply loved her from the beginning and he knew he was loved back. Even when he was unable to be taken for walks in the latter days, he was so happy when she would visit him. Our cats love her too. We could not recommend her enough and lucky you if you get to trust her with our pets. She is principled and conscientious beyond fault. A bright young girl with all the attributes to make her passion for animals a career choice for the benefit of pets and their owners and we wish her the very best of luck. Sonia and Craig xx”

“Dimitris has been an absolute blessing for our dog, Zapy. His compassionate care and expert handling made all the difference. Dimitris went above and beyond in every aspect, ensuring Zapy received not only the necessary walks and feedings but also plenty of love and attention. His proactive communication was comforting, with regular updates and photos that kept us connected to our furry friend. Zapy, who can be a bit anxious with new people, was immediately at ease with Dimitris. Dimitris' responsible and loving approach to pet care is truly commendable, and I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking peace of mind while away from their pet.”

“Paul was absolutely brilliant looking after my 2 dogs Charlie and Dana for 12 nights while we was on holiday. Communication was excellent kept me informed while away was the first time I'd used Rover for longer than one night and was quite nervous about leaving the dogs for so long but Paul made me feel so are ease about leaving them also helped that they automatically took to him when he come round a couple of times before we went to meet the dogs and get to know them which was great. Got updates throughout our holiday of them playing and going out they where looked after amazingly and could not fault the service that Paul provided left our home clean and tidy that was a added bonus when getting back from holiday. Thank you Paul for taking such good care of my 2 will definitely book again.”

About: I've always had dogs or cats throughout my life and I currently am a cat mum. I thoroughly love animals and care for them a huge amount. I am currently working full time from home. But I have a flexible schedule, so happy to workout timings with you when a care is needed. I can not have animals in my home as I have a cat and I don't think she would like any visitors unfortunately and it wouldn't be fair on her.

“Katie and Lawrence have looked after our cocker spaniel Marley since he was a puppy. Marley loves spending time with them, and can’t wait for their visit. I fully trust them to take great care of Marley both during the day and for longer stays. Marley and I could not recommend them both enough.”

About: We have enjoyed caring for quite a few animals over the past year and included them in our days out and long walks. Vito is an energetic boy who has loved playing football with my children. Charlie is a calm old lad who has thoroughly enjoyed belly rubs and attention from the family home. Max just likes playing ball for hours and my children indulge him all day long. Milo likes long playful walks and Moreno loved having cuddles. My extended family are also rescuers that take in border collies from around the UK. I look after my neighbours dog Gizmo and their Guinea pigs regularly. We have also have had x5 dogs in doggie day care with us for longer stays due to family holidays and they have loved every second. (They are not here all the time ;) We have walked a border collie over in Dedham several times which we enjoy very much. My friends, family snd employers can rely on me not only to take care of their animals but to work to theirs particular needs to be happy and settled. We have yet to find an animal who hasn't wanted to stay and play. I am a secondary school teacher and my daughter Brooke (aged 16) is in secondary school. I will happily take care of animals before or after school and always on weekends. School holidays we are always open for business. We are flexible and work as a team. We are happy to board for you any time of the year. We have a big garden with high fences so your little treasures can't escape. We have a welcoming house and we love long walks or to snuggle. We have 2 young children, aged 5 and 8, who are gentle and kind. They adore the family dog Max who is a border collie (Max is our Nanas dog and lives with Nana). We have previously boarded larger / medium dogs 🐕 (not all at once) and it has been very successful. They have loved being here with us. One particular dog visits for 3-4 weeks a time in the summer.

“I have had the pleasure of entrusting Stanley with the care of my beloved pets on numerous occasions, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Stanley is not only responsible and reliable but also possesses a genuine love and compassion for animals that is evident in the way he interacts with them. Whether it's providing regular walks, administering medications, or simply showering them with affection, Stanley goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every furry friend under his care. If you're searching for a dedicated and loving pet caregiver, look no further than Stanley.”

“Daisy is kind and trustworthy. We went to Cyprus for two weeks and Daisy was amazing with our two cats Millie and Theo. Plus always kept us updated and looked after our house. Would always go to Daisy if we needed a pet sitter 10/10. I love my cats so much she is the only one I would trust.”

“Amelia Jo loves animals, she has many including reptiles. She loves any animal including dogs, she’s passionate in caring for any in any environment. She loves dogs and cats and tortoises and reptiles and cares for them for anyone. She’s a caring individual and will look after a pet with no trouble. Reliable and trustworthy.”

“Alexandros really cares about the animals. What is special about Alexandros is the time he spends with the dogs, talking to them and having a special connection.”

“Alexandru was a phenomenal caregiver for our cat, Kitty. From the moment Alexandru stepped in, his dedication and love for animals were evident. He not only took care of Kitty's basic needs but also spent quality time playing and cuddling, ensuring she didn't feel lonely. Alexandru's daily updates with photos and videos brought great comfort to us while we were away. His attention to detail, from feeding to litter box maintenance, was impeccable. His responsible and loving nature makes him an ideal pet caregiver. I wholeheartedly recommend Alexandru to anyone in need of a compassionate and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Zac stepped in to help us take care of our Stella when someone else pulled out the last minute, so we were extremely greatful. He is responsible and attentive person and Stella was a fan of him from the first meet up. While we were on holiday, we got plenty of feedback about Stella's daily routine and most of messages were folowed by pictures of her feed and walk/play times. We highly recomend his services as his experience with dogs is clear and we will be coming back to him in the future. Thank you, Zac”

“My furry husky friend needed a sitter for a few days and I was stressed I wouldn't find a good sitter. But Mira proved me and Chappy that we found the perfect sitter in her. My dog was kinda sad when I got him back, that proves to me that Mira took outstanding care of him. I recommend this wonderful pet sitter to any pet parent out there.”

“Tom has looked after my dog so many times now, I know he has a real passion for animals especially with how sad scruffy was leaving him. He spoils him all the time and gives him lots of love. Would defo recommend!!!”
