Dog Sitting in Essex

About: Hi there, I'm Cassidy! My passion has always been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for dogs in various settings. For the past five years, managing a doggy daycare has provided me with the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and each dog's unique needs. In addition to hands on experience, I have also taken a number of courses online for certifications in Canine First Aid, Dog Body Language, and Basic Dog Handling to further my knowledge. If given the opportunity, I'd love to provide safe and loving care for your furry family member as I would for my very own. I have recently taken a step back from the hustle and bustle of the daycare world to shift my focus to a more 1-on-1 approach to dog care. I am unemployed and have a very open schedule! My motto is to always treat each pup as if they were my own. To me, this means always making sure their needs are taken care of. I will ensure your dog always has access to fresh water for in home visits and extended walks, are always met with kindness and patience, and are always safe in my care.

“Thank you, Brianne, for taking care of Ginger. Thank you for your care—the pictures, the daily updates and your sweet nature. I definitely will be using your care again. Ginger says “thank you””

“Tawny was super responsive and took great care of my babies! They went above and beyond my expectations. Even when my kitties made a bit of a mess she cleaned it right up and informed me! My shyest cat loved her to bits too so if I ever need a sitter again I'm definitely choosing her!”

“My cats just love when Mere is around. She has been sitting for me for many years. I am a senior citizen and have two cats. One of them is older and needs medication all throughout the day. I trust Mere with my cats' lives. All nine of them (ha!) Mere has always been the temporary cat mom they need when I am away. She is responsible, honest, trustworthy, and keeps my condo so clean in the meantime. ”

“Laura is fantastic - so responsible and punctual and detail oriented, and she has been so understanding and nice about my nutty schedule. Knowing that my dogs are getting a visit from her gives me a great sense of comfort. Thanks so much Laura!”

“Jess is the always the first person I ask when I need pet care. He’s cared for my elderly cat many times and more recently my new dog as well. He’s dependable and trustworthy, and has a gentle demeanor that even the most skittish dogs and cats can warm up to. I always come home to well cared for and happy pets, and I’m pretty sure they like him more than they like me.”

About: I have had dogs, cats, and various other critters for my entire life! Not only am I able to train/shape your pup, I am able to dispense medications, soothe your pup, give them massages, and much more! I can work with all ages, sizes, and temperaments I’m currently available on weekends, afternoons (starting at 3 PM), holidays, long weekends, vacations, and all summer long! I’m highly flexible, easy to work with, and always eager to help! I am passionate and make it my goal to provide pets with a safe, loving, and and comfortable experience, whether in my home or my client's. My approach is rooted in building trust and confidence—not only with the pets I care for but also with their owners. I understand that leaving a pet in someone else's hands requires confidence and peace of mind, which is why I prioritize open communication, consistent routines, and personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Safety is my top priority! I ensure a secure environment by carefully pet-proofing spaces, following dietary guidelines, and keeping a close watch during any/all playtime and outdoor activities. I also take a sustainable approach by using eco-friendly products and minimizing waste to create a healthier environment for pets and their families. My goal is to create harmony and a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, fostering a sense of trust and reliability every step of the way! Whether it's daily walks, training sessions, enrichment activities, overnight stays, or specialized care, I am committed to treating every pet like family.

“Annie has been incredible. Our shy/untrusting pup immediately took to her and she is so patient and loving towards him. Her updates are awesome and we feel completely relieved that we found her and she likes our puppy!!!!!”

About: I love animals and believe respect all their different personalities and needs. I have cared for high energy dogs, puppies, reactive animals, and seniors alike. I’m a reliable and responsible person whom you can trust your pet with! My schedule is fairly open because I currently work part-time. I am usually not gone for more than 4-5 hours at a time. I like to be outside, so I take my dogs out whenever I can. I have a fenced yard and two dogs, but if necessary, I am able to watch/walk pets without any other pets on separate property. I am attentive to your pets needs, such as taking them out for potty breaks or playing games.
