About: I’ve grown up with cats and have more recently lived with and taken care of (small-medium) dogs. Having recently moved out, I miss the family cat and dog (border terrier) and would love to help out caring for others’ pets. I have looked after family member’s dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them as per their routine and giving them lots of love. I work full-time from home and my partner is also often home as he is freelance, meaning we can give your pet lots of love and attention. We live right by the beach and a large park, perfect for taking your pooch for a walk of whatever length suits them. It will also motivate us to get outside during the work day! We can look after pets overnight any day of the week where we have availability. We live in a first floor flat with steps down to the garden, meaning dogs will need to be able to climb and descend these (unless they’re small enough to be carried!) We have an enclosed garden with a lawn at the back and enclosed front courtyard. We can provide a litter tray for cats. We currently don’t have a crate.

“Julie and Paul were wonderful, Rainbow seemed so happy. We really appreciated the regular photos, particularly as we were gone for a significant time (a fortnight). Rainbow got poorly a couple of days before we got back and Julie and Paul were really concerned and took wonderful care of her. Faultless and I'm sure Rainbow is already looking forward to a repeat stay!”

“Fantastic sitter, Dino was very happy and relaxed with Juliet, so much he was a little upset when we bought him home and sulked.Highly recommended , look forward to next time. Thank you Juliet for peace of mind while we were away.”

“Darshi is a cheerful and respectful person. She takes care of her dog, Socks, very well and enjoys spending time with her. Your dog will be looked after by Darshi as if it were her own.”

“We can not thank Hayley and her family for looking after Harley enough. From the initial meet, meet and great with Hayley’s family, and the actual stay. We find Hayley extremely professional and attentive of Harley’s needs. We had regular updates and Harley came back so happy! We couldn’t recommend Hayley enough 🥰”

“Melanie was super and kept us updated the entire stay. Cocoa was calm and happy when we collected her. I will certainly ask Melanie to sit Cocoa again.”

“Felt very reassured leaving Chase with Helen, she provided a home from home for Chase and kept me regularly updated with photos and what Chase was up to. Great communication and a happy caring place for Chase to be while we were away, thank you!”

“Kinga was great in looking after Plato sending regular updates and a thorough pre-meet. Luna was also very friendly and playful to Plato. I would definitely recommend and hope Plato can visit again soon.”

“Amy absolutely loves animals. She spends time looking after her own dogs and cat and loves giving cuddles and hugs and taking them on walks.”

About: Aside from my experience in pet sitting, I bring a unique skill set to the table. Having owned a dog for 14 years, I understand the intricacies of pet care and the importance of patience, love, and attention to detail. Additionally, I have extensive experience in training puppies and providing specialised care for senior dogs, ensuring that each furry friend receives the tailored care they deserve. Integrating pet care into my routine involves dedicated morning and evening sessions for walks, feeding, and play. Midday check-ins or walks are scheduled for pets requiring extra attention. Weekly, I allocate time for deeper care aspects like grooming and longer walks or trips to the park, ensuring pets are healthy and happy while fitting seamlessly into my schedule. In both my home and the pet owner's, I prioritize safety, routine, and personalized care. My home is prepared to be pet-friendly and secure, maintaining the pet's routine for minimal stress. Personal attention includes daily walks, playtime, and affection. At the pet owner's home, I respect their space while ensuring the pet's comfort and adherence to their familiar routine, providing regular updates to the owner.

“Lauren is a responsible and caring person with a love for all things dog related! She has experience with all types of breeds, and warms to pets very quickly. She loves going on walks down the seafront with her own pets and mine, and gives my puppy plenty of attention. I would recommend her to people looking for a reliable dog sitter and walker local to Thorpe Bay and Southend.”

“Dana and her partner were truly wonderful and the girls had a great time with them. They had lots of knowledge so I felt at ease and they were able to support my girls when they were being fussy with food. Will certainly use again in the future.”

“Charlotte looked after Bane, our Staffordshire Bull Terrier for the weekend & he had THE BEST TIME.... in the past I have always used kennels for stays away, this was our first 'dog sitter' experience & it's definitely the way forward! Charlotte was friendly & flexible, she kept in touch with us regularly during Bane's stay & sent us lots of lovely pictures to put our mind at ease that he was happy & enjoying his stay. She clearly has the 'magic touch' when it comes to caring for animals & we will definitely be back again! Thank you so much! :o) xx”

“Karolina was a great host for Max. Max loved his stay with Karolina. Karolina sent us regular updates and pics of Max which really helped us relax. Fully recommend Karolina. Will use again.”

“Had a great experience with Eloise & Kostas looking after my 3 pugs for there weekend stay. They both put me at ease as I was quite nervous of leaving them all. They had a great time and enjoyed walkies and snuggles. We will be back in July for our main holiday say for 10 nights. Thanks guys you were great.”

“Evelina was the perfect puppy sitter. Quick to respond to messages and very accommodating. She took great care of our young puppy and sent several updates with pictures and videos throughout the day which was really nice to see. Thanks Evelina we will be in touch when we need help again!”

“Sophie was great and couldn’t have looked after Bernie better. Really engaged with him and communication and updates were great too.”

“I highly recommend Daniel as a dogsitter for boarding my dog Bea for one week. He is friendly, organized a meet and greet, and his house offers a luxurious and trusting environment for dogs. Daniel's attentiveness, trustworthiness, and genuine care for Bea's well-being made me feel confident and at ease throughout her stay. I will definitely book with him again in the future.”

“Anna looked after Rocco for 10 nights and he loved his time there! Anna sent regular updates and we were really happy with the way he was looked after. We will be definitely booking again. Thanks Anna”

“Charlotte did a great job with Whimsy. She seemed happy and content when she came back home and a little sad her time staying there was over!”
