“Martin was an excellent sitter. We had complete trust that he would look after our dogs. He came to meet and greet before his overnight stay, and despite our elderly Jack Russell having medication and quirky ways we came home to a couple of chilled dogs! We had updates from Martin over the course of his stay but we were happy to enjoy a night away with no concerns. We would be very happy to book Martin again. It was the first time we have used Rover and we were extremely satisfied. Thankyou Martin!”

About: I have grown up with and always loved animals. I regularly look after dogs of varying breeds (and personalities) for friends and family which I absolutely love. My experience varies from stubborn Huskies to yappy Jack Russel's to needy Siamese cats while also loving my own boisterous Labrador. This also varies in age, from my own 1 year old Labrador who we have had since a puppy, to more senior dogs who prefer a slower pace of life. I am understanding of the fact that different breeds and ages have different needs and requirements when it comes to daily care and I am always happy to incorporate this into their daily routine. Please feel free to message me for anymore information or any questions you may have. I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so will be around all day. I have a Labrador of my own, so we are in the routine of letting the dog out regularly, providing two walks a day and doing regular check ins to make sure there is plenty of water and all needs are met. Our garden is fully enclosed so the dogs are able to venture in and out as they please. My Labrador is still crated at night, however if your dog does not require crating this is fine. During the day, you dog will never be left for more than two hours. They layout of our house is slightly different, with the living area being on the first floor. This may not always be the best for more senior dogs. If there is any issues with this then please let me know.

“Charmy was a wonderful dog sitter and a true companion for my little Maltipoo dog. She sent a photo with updates whenever asked, and I felt completely at ease with her skillful approach to keeping my dog calm and happy. 100% recommended to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Absolutely BRILLIANT! Dash is a very sensitive dog but he settled incredibly quickly. He had a lovely time with Amanda, went on some adventures and really enjoyed his stay!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.

“Absolutely wonderful, Walter and Lily had a great time when Emily looked after them. When I messaged to see if everything was okay she came back instantly. Would highly recommend.”

About: • I'm an experienced live-in dog and house sitter who offers calm, consistent care, particularly for nervous, sensitive or rescue dogs who need patience and reassurance while their owners are away. • I've gained my experience through many successful house and pet sits, both independently and through TrustedHousesitters (where owners have consistently left excellent reviews). • Some dogs make friends straight away. Others need a little more time. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and helping them feel safe, comfortable and settled while you're away. • I work online (part-time), so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home. This is ideal for dogs who are used to having company or who need a little longer to settle. • I love being outdoors and usually walk twice a day myself. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle sniff around the neighbourhood, I'm happy to adapt to whatever suits them best. • I always stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine, whether that's favourite walking routes, regular mealtimes or simply having a cuddle on the sofa. • I'm based in Colchester and regularly travel throughout London and the South East, with availability across the UK for longer bookings. • I've completed Canine First Aid training and I'm continuing to learn more about canine behaviour and body language because I genuinely enjoy understanding what makes each dog tick. • One of the reasons I started house and pet sitting is that my own rescue dog had such a lasting impact on me. She taught me the value of patience and consistency. After she died, I wasn't ready for another dog of my own, and looking after other people's dogs became a way to stay connected to the animals I love. • I know it's hard leaving your dog with someone new. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip, and I'll always ask how often you'd like to hear from me. * I work online, so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home with them. * Morning walks, longer afternoon adventures or evening strolls, I can easily adapt to whatever routine your dog is used to. * I try to keep life as familiar as possible while you're away, so I do my best to follow your dog's usual routine for walks, meals, playtime and downtime. * I offer live-in dog and house sitting for overnight stays, weekends, holidays and longer bookings throughout the year. * Before a sit, I like to arrange a quick video call so we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure you feel completely comfortable before you head away. * Before each sit, I take the time to understand your dog's usual routine, from walks and mealtimes to favourite sleeping spots and the little things that help them feel settled. * I work online part-time, so I'm able to spend much of the day at home, providing companionship and helping your dog settle into their usual routine. * I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages while you're away. I'll also ask how often you'd like to hear from me, so you can choose the level of contact that feels right for you. * I genuinely enjoy looking after people's homes and take pride in treating every property with the same care and respect I would my own. I see myself as a temporary guardian of your home as well as your dog, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it.

About: I have had cats and dogs and guinea pigs all my life! I am the point of call for my family and friends when they have needed animal sitting/ walking. I work as a weather forecaster but have plenty of free time to look after animals, especially on weekends! Please don’t hesitate to message :) ❤️ Every animal is different, some want lots of fuss and cuddles and others don’t. Therefore, when meeting a new animal, I like to let them come to me first to gain trust and gage whether they would like cuddles :)

“Karen was a delight looking after my lurcher Abi for the week! She was great at messaging beforehand, to arrange meeting & greeting Abi, kept up with communication throughout and Abi absolutely loved her! She gave her lots of cuddles, walks & made me feel so at ease knowing she was in such good company for the week at my place. She even left us a shepherds pie after a long drive home. Highly recommend Karen to sit your pet, big or small.”

About: I've had pets since I was a toddler - both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have experience with medically monitored pets and pets with behavioural issues. I have helped to train animals. I am generally a lover of all animals! I am currently unemployed and so I will have plenty of time to put in to caring for your animals, however much time they require. Once I know I will be sitting for you, I will ask for any house rules/training rules you establish for your pet. I will follow these to the best of my ability to make the transition for your animal as easy as possible. My focus will always be the comfort of your animal as a guest in their home.
