Dog Sitting Essex

About: I've taken care of puppies and dogs (mainly aussiedoodles) for the past few years. After I moved out, I now have an adult korat cat who I love! I work full time 9-5 monday through friday and unfortunately cannot housesit overnight on Tuesday nights. However, any other time you may need or any other day than Tuesday nights, I can do! I always try to let the animals have fun and feel like nothing has changed since. I can usually tell when an animal wants to go for a walk or play.

About: I have 5 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether it is for over night stays, walking, and cleaning cages; I am a trustworthy individual that takes great responsibility with your space and pet. I work full-time (M-F) so I would be available to assist in tasks after 5pm during those particular days. On Saturdays and Sundays I am available from 8am-8pm so I would be able to house and pet sit over night those days. My schedule can be flexible so please do not hesitate to reach out to inquire! I will not be able to have your pet in my apartment, but I will always maintain a clean and safe environment in your home.

About: I worked as a dog walker for a year where I walked 6 dogs at a time usually walking around 36 dogs per day. I would also brush out feed and give the dogs water and any meds they may need for the day. Lastly I grew up with dogs my entire life so I know how to care for them very well I an currently babysitting and looking to walk dogs in my free days as a summer job. I am available most days and am happy to do any length of walk or visit needed I have a fenced in large yard and 2 very friendly dogs so if I ever needed to bring your dog to my house it would be completely safe

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my heart. I was lucky enough to share 20 beautiful years with my two pups, who have since crossed the rainbow bridge. Loving and caring for them shaped the way I show up for every animal I meet. I have a naturally calm, grounded energy, and animals seem to feel that right away. Most pets warm up to me quickly, whether they’re playful and energetic or a little shy and need gentle patience. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away—and that’s exactly what I provide. Your pet won’t just be watched… they’ll be cared for with presence, respect, and lots of love. Hugs- Auntie Trie Hi, I’m Trie – a traveling artist with a heart full of love for furry companions! While I spend most of my time creating intuitive art and sharing it at music festivals and events, I also cherish the quiet, grounding joy that comes from the company of pets. Pet sitting is my way of adding a little extra income while also getting some much-loved snuggles and tail wags in return. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. That’s why I offer more than just feeding and walking — I provide companionship, comfort, and care. Plus, as an artist with a keen eye, I’ll send you professional-quality photo updates so you don’t miss a beat (or a bark). Whether your pup needs a playmate, your cat needs some chill company, or your plants just need a good watering — I’m here to help make your time away stress-free. Let’s chat and make sure your pets (and peace of mind) are in good hands I will take care and love of your pet in your home just as I would it was my pet or home. I will make sure that they stay safe and protect your belongings.
