“Caramel was lovingly looked after by Jasmine and the two of them got on so well. I know this because Caramel was calm and happy when I got back to the house. Jasmine followed all the instructions for administering her meds and meals and the all important walks 3 times a day. I would happily recommend Jasmine as someone trustworthy & who just loves animals.”

“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: Ive worked with animals in a variety of settings including rescues, shops and even the zoo, so have extensive experience with a variety of different kinds of animals, whether it be furry, feathered or scaly I am confident with looking after them. I have done a few sitting jobs already. I am comfortable with reptiles and also have some training experience, so would be happy to aid in the training of any young pets. Currently available all the time. I am looking for a full time job so this availability might change but at the moment I have no major commitments I make sure to follow owners instructions as closely as possible and I double check everything to make sure pets are safe, secure and above all they are happy

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have gained some great experience over the years. I’ve worked with trained search dogs, which taught me a lot about understanding different behaviours and building trust. I also volunteer at a local rehoming centre, helping care for dogs with all kinds of personalities. At home, I have two lively cocker spaniels who keep me on my toes and remind me how important it is to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I really enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well looked after I work part-time from home with a flexible shift pattern, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care around my schedule. I make sure any bookings get my full attention, and I love having animals as part of my daily routine. I offer drop-in visits to make sure pets are happy and well looked after in their own home. I’ll follow their normal routine — whether that’s feeding, topping up water, letting them out for a toilet break, or just giving them some company and attention. I always aim to keep things calm and reassuring, especially if a pet is shy or nervous. Every visit is tailored to what your pet needs to feel safe and settled while you’re away.

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.

“Harriette looked after our cat really well. She was friendly polite and really great with communication. Thank you 🙏 we'd highly recommend her.”

About: I have always been around dogs, I grew up with many. My family would always dog-sit for friends and family. I wanted to study zoology at university but due to personal issues I no longer will be able to, so I am trying to surround myself with animals! I am not in the right situation to have my own dog, so I would love to be around them and also help out owners! My priority is ensuring the dog is happy. I have just finished my A levels and only work Friday and Saturday evenings. I am hoping to get into a part time job. This means that I would still have plenty of time to go and see my furry friends! I am easy and can change my schedule to fit the dogs needs. I have a fully gated garden, we have a door that separates upstairs and downstairs ( for dogs that need to stay downstairs ). I am happy to stay in peoples homes and will cater to my own needs. If allowed, I will get lots of treats for the dogs and a new toy for new customers. I absolutely love walking and can cater my walks to your dogs needs. Living by the beach has its perks!

“Dogs were happy and well cared for Charlotte done a very good job of looking after them they weren’t stressed just relaxed I would always recommend her”

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.

“Lucia took care of our lovely old boy Stanley, she was caring and considerate of his needs. She kept us well updated with lovely photos of how their weekend together went. We would love to use her again as would Stanley 🐶”

“I can't give high enough praise for Charlotte, our two dogs have been spoiled rotten. She's shared updates and photos. Our house is absolutely spotless. If walking our two idiots hasn't put her off I'd like to book her for the next five year's worth of holidays.”

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 :)

About: I'm retired and can give your pet virtually 24hr care. I'm an avid walker and will take your pet on lovely woodland walks and visits to country estates, beach etc. I have owned my own dogs for the past 30 years but am currently without one, hosting dogs allows me to enjoy, fuss and soil even more. I am at home most of the day except when I'm at the gym in the morning, my daily routine is flexible so I always have time for walks and I'm often in the garden or doing chores around the house, under the watchful eyes of your pet! I have a fully walled garden and lots of green walks straight out my front door. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds if that's what their used to at home. I try to follow their home routine as far as I can. I use a local secure dog park with a pool if required for the additional cost of the session.
