House Sitting in Essex

“Sophia was great! From first contact she was very responsive and easy to schedule with and continued to be very communicative. She sent daily updates and photos and it was clear that my kitties were very happy and comfortable with her. One of my cats is particularly shy, so when I received photos of him head butting her on day 2, I was really able to relax :). We arrived home to a clean home and 2 kitties who were very happy to see us and were clearly loved and well taken care of while we were gone!”

“Natalie house sat my 2 dogs and 3 birds for a long weekend. Natalie is responsible and easy to reach. She responded promptly to any messages. One of my dogs requires special care as a senior and Natalie cared for him well. I would book Natalie again!”

“Vanessa kept wonderful care of our cat while we were away for two weeks. She seemed to really enjoy our snuggly cat and look forward to using her again in the future!”

“Thanks for taking care of Baby Bear! 😸”

“Lauren is a great communicator and wonderful dog sitter. She watched our older golden retriever and poodle mix and they LOVED her. She was very respectful of our house; we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”

“Cassidy is an absolutely delightful caregiver! She was so responsive, and very diligent with keeping up with our puppy’s potty schedule. She was even able to make a connection with our elderly cat who is typically very shy. Our house looks better than we left it too! I can’t recommend her enough and I look forward to her staying with my babies in the future.”

“Joe did a fantastic job taking care of Stella while we were away. She is a very energetic young lab and this was our first time we had left her. We appreciated Joes kindness in sending updates and pictures. We will not hesitate and look forward in hiring Joe in the future!”

“We had a sitter that had to cancel in the middle of her stay and Teri stepped right in and took care of everything. She had great communication with us and showed how great our dogs were doing. When we came home the house was in great shape and the dogs were doing fantastic! I will be using Teri again in the future.”

About: I started as an intern at an animal hospital and then later on became one of their hardworking employees! I always go above and beyond to make sure the animals there are comfortable and happy! So i'd happily say I have much experience with working with animals :) Im currently working part time at an animal hospital so I can definitely make time to attend to your pets needs! i’d be more than happy to help out and take care of your pet :) My home currently is not allowed any other animals inside especially since we have many cats that are shy and super sensitive to new animals, but that doesn’t mean I can always come to you and your home to petsit/walk your fuzzy little friends :)

“Mere was great with Lily! It’s so wonderful to find someone who adores your pet. Mere is a good communicator and very responsible, and is also fantastic photographer!”

“5 stars across the board.... We felt so comfortable with Carolyn house sitting and dog sitting... She sent so many photos and our dog looked so happy... Amazing communication and super caring!!! Carolyn will be our "go-to" hopefully long term”

“Laura was great with our rambunctious puppy and we will not hesitate to use her in the future”

“Jordyn is an incredibly caring and dependable pet caregiver. She goes above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care!”

“Lacie is a responsible, bright and friendly person. She has had dogs her whole life and has watched them and loved them. She’s is used to watching big dogs including a 100lb lab, a pit bull, a 65 lb mutt and a smaller dog breed unknown. She loves dogs and snuggles them and gives affection. She makes a great dog sitter.”

“Gwyneth has taken care of my dog for years when I go out of town. She is always very communicative and responsible. I know my dog is in great hands and I never have to worry when I leave him with Gwyneth.”

“Grace is 100% reliable with excellent communication...quick to respond to any outreach. She follows a consistent schedule with regular visits and lots of outdoor and play time. She incorporates dogs specific care..for example, I have one older dog who takes medication with his meals, and two others that must be separated when they eat. I travel worry free knowing how responsible Grace is. When we return, the dogs are always calm and happy.”

“Emma has done a fantastic job taking care of Stella and Olive. This was our first time leaving Stella for a week. Olive is an older, pretty chill cavapoo. Stella is a rambunctious lab puppy and Emma was great handling both of them. I received wonderful and most appreciative pictures everyday. I would not hesitate to re-book with Emma in the future.”

“Kara is prompt, responsible, and SO nice. We were nervous leaving our dog at home for the first time but her communication style put us at ease. Highly recommend!”

“Mary was a great caregiver and companion for our dog when we were away for almost a week. We could relax knowing how kind and dependable Mary is, and that Chloe would get plenty of exercise and attention while we were away. It was nice to receive periodic updates and photos of our happy pooch. Definitely consider Mary next time you need pet care.”

“Madison has walked, done day visits, and longer term-care for three of our much-loved dogs for over 4 years. We've had many caregivers over the decades of pet parenting and she is the best we've ever had. She genuinely loves and cares about the well-being of dogs, and is very knowledgeable about what they like and need. Her attention to detail - what each dog likes to play with, their personality, the nonverbal signals they give about what they need, and their food and medication needs are all handled in a very professional manner. And just as important - our dogs love her! They get very excited when we say her name and they love to have her dog sit for them - they don't mind us leaving at all. She is very punctual and has helped us out in a pinch many times. And when she cared for them over extended periods, she sent photos and kept us updated on their activities. She cared for them, as well as our house, with energy, responsibility, and a sense of fun. I trust her implicitly and never worry that our two very active dogs' needs won't be met, whether it's lots of hugs and exercise, protection from busy roads or outdoor conditions like heat, or going above and beyond what is expected to insure they are well cared for. Our house usually looks better when we return than when we left! Our 4 year old golden retriever requires extra care due to serious joint problems and our puppy is a rescue with boundless energy. She manages them both beautifully, along with a complex house and the other demands on her time, always exhibiting a cheerful positive attitude. I recommend Madison without reservation and know she will give pet parents the service they expect and more importantly will give every dog the love and attention that helps them thrive.”
