House Sitting in Basildon

About: I don’t just walk your dog - I engage them with personalised activities that suits their unique needs, ensuring they get both physical excerise and mental stimulation. My commitment to safety and my genuine love for animals make me a trusted companion for your pet, providing peace of mind that they are in caring and capable hands. I currently work full time 9-5 Monday to Friday. But that doesn’t mean I won’t look after your pets after my working day. I’ll happily do weekends! I have a fenced garden with a lot of area for play in. An amazing sunny garden so your pet can sun bath, so I know they’ll have fun.

“Charlotte came to our house and looked after our Bulldog, Porkpie from Friday morning until Monday evening and we were very happy with her. She arrived on time on the Friday. She followed our instructions and we returned to a very happy boy (I don't think he even noticed we were gone!). We will certainly be using Charlotte again in future.”

“Very happy with Courtney’s service. Good communication before and during the process. Courtney house sat for my 2 dogs and 4 cats for a week. I came home to Jason pets and everything was clean and tidy. I would definitely book again and recommend Courtney’s service if you need someone to care for your pets.”

“We are so grateful to have found Linda. We found her last minute when we were turned away by Kennels due to over capacity. Linda came through and responded fast and agreed to look after our dog on short notice. Linda house sat, so our dog was comfortable in his own home. Linda is confident and clearly experienced as we have a large dog who is still mentally a puppy. Linda had no problems handling our dog. During the stay, Linda sent regular updates via the Rover app. When we got back home, we found that the house in a great condition, literally as we left it. She cared for Shadow as if he were her own. He seemed to be very happy and comfortable with Linda from the very start. Aside from being very professional, Linda is a lovely and warm person. We will definitely use Linda again!”

“Emily was so fantastic! She looked after our crazy Stanley for 2 nights for our wedding once we realised that being boarded with lots of other dogs wouldn’t give us the right peace of mind. Emily was brilliant - Stanley absolutely took to her, he seemed to love his walks with her and the photos sent showed he was completely like his normal self, comfortable and snuggled up! We honestly cannot thank you enough Emily and will 100% ask again in the future and recommend you to everyone!”

“Caitlin was brilliant looking after our dog, who clearly loves spending time with her. Sent lots of photo updates, which I love to receive. Very trustworthy, clean and tidy. Would not hesitate to rebook her services.”

“Kirsty was absolutely fantastic and she looked after our two dogs at our home. I booked Kirsty last minute and she made sure she visited before the night to get to know the dogs as one of our dogs is deaf and anxious. Kirsty spent time building trust with our anxious dog Dolly when she visited, prior to the night she looked after her. We would 100 percent use Kirsty again and I would highly recommend her. It’s nice to meet someone who really loved dogs and who loved and cared for our dogs as we do! Thanks Kirsty”

Pete D.

“We would definitely recommend Caitlin and book her again in the future. Her communication was excellent both before booking and throughout the time she was looking after our dogs. The dogs were well cared for and happy. Many thanks for everything Caitlin”

I am able to give medication and perform CPR. I am comfortable looking after dogs of all sizes, cats, rodents and birds. I currently work full time but am able to pop in before work and after work on weekdays. If I am staying at your home then I would of course return after work in the evening to care for your pets. If I happen to have a day off in the week then I would spend as much time as possible with your pets so they are not alone. If I am staying in your home then I will adopt your routine with your pet so they feel as comfortable as possible. I will walk them only in areas you feel that are safe and will follow any instructions you give me in regards to their care and routine.

“Definitely recommend Shara to look after your pets, she was very caring and always made sure our little wolf was happy and entertained.”

About: Work from home full time with my super friendly rescue pup. Have a fully enclosed garden and a lovely pup who would be glad of some doggy company. I work from home full time, all week day evenings free along with weekends if they are booked in advance. My dog is treated like a member of our family, just like yours would be too! I have a fully fenced garden and a gate at the side. Walks definitely once but also sometimes twice a day. Treats throughout the day if allowed. Dogs allowed on sofa and plenty of cuddles all day!

About: Have plenty of experience dealing with pets due to having a dog myself when I was younger and petsitting for friends and neighbours over the years. I’m available most days to look after your pets, whether it’s for a few hours or a few days. More than happy to provide drop ins and go for walks if that’s all that’s needed too. I have a fenced garden and plenty of space for your pups to run around, with a massive park behind the house for some more playtime!

About: I’ve had plenty of experience pet sitting, mainly with cats but also with dogs. I’ve looked after them by keeping up with their routines—feeding, cleaning up after them, giving medication when needed, and, of course, making sure they get plenty of attention and playtime. I really enjoy spending time with pets and understand how important it is to keep them comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Mostly available after work or on the weekends. Would love to spend my evenings or free time taking care of dogs and cats. If I had more free time it would be spent with pets. When I care for pets in their owner’s home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure they're fed on time, clean up after them, and follow any special instructions like giving medication. Most importantly, I give them plenty of attention and play to keep them happy and comfortable. Whether it’s just stopping by during the day or staying for a while, I focus on making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

About: Have had dogs in the wider family for the whole of my life. Regularly look after a friend’s 2 labradors and large mixed-breed. Worked for 1 year as a dog care and welfare assistant at Guide Dogs, Redbridge training centre in 2017. Well trained in administering medications and ointments. Currently working part time, so looking for pet sitting, walking and breaking opportunities in my downtime. Currently have no specific work hours so very flexible. I am a naturally calm and relaxed person with a positive voice that believes positive praising can reap huge rewards when working with animals. I am well experienced in controlling dogs from my time at guide dogs and the large mixed breed I care for is very reactive to other dogs, animals and people.
