House Sitting Basildon

About: I’ve got a degree in animal care and have experience dog grooming with all breeds, sizes and ages. I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life, including rats and birds. I have previous experience of giving medication at certain times with multiple pets at once. Always having a passion for treating them the best of the best. If you need any other information about myself and experience please let me know! (If needing a weekend, please message me as my availability can vary). I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time throughout the day! I’m available from the morning until the evenings during weekdays for drop-ins, and most weekends varying on when you book. I’m very equipped with how to keep animals safe in both my own home and other environments! Understanding their behaviour and boundaries, whilst being perceptive of surroundings.

About: I have grown up raising chickens, sheep, two King Charles Cavalier dogs and we also have had horses and guinea pigs in the family. I’m comfortable with all animals and enjoy spending time with them! Im working full time Monday- Friday as a HR Professional. I work a half day on a Friday and am available over the weekends too. I’m able to commit to walks/check ins any evening and am flexible during my days off. I’m comfortable looking after pets in your home if that’s the support you need. Given how many animals I have grown up with I’m happy to flex around what you need, with your pets welfare being the top priority.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for years, looking after dogs both in their own homes and my own. I’ve cared for dogs with lots of different personalities, and have loved getting to know each one. My career is in zoo keeping, so caring for animals is what I spend most of my time doing. My work has helped me to be patient, observant and attentive to changes in behaviour and wellbeing. I’ve also worked at Pets Corner and ran their puppy socialisation hour, which I loved so much, whilst also gaining experience in nutrition and behaviour. My favourite part was owners bringing all their different pets and breeds into the shop, and that made me want to pet sit full time. I’m happy to follow each dog’s normal routine and adapt to what they are used to at home. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime and giving medication if needed, and I’m always happy to keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away. I know it can be difficult leaving your pet with someone else, so I want you both to feel comfortable and know they’re being well looked after. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m looking after, so I can give them the attention and care they need rather than rushing between commitments. I’m also flexible with different routines and schedules, depending on what each pet is used to. I’m happy to look after dogs in their own home, as I know many dogs are much more comfortable staying somewhere familiar. I’ll make sure they’re safe, settled and looked after in the same way they would be if their owner was there, while following any routines or instructions they have. I’m respectful of people’s homes and will always make sure everything is left clean and tidy. I’ll also keep owners updated while they’re away, including sending photos and letting them know how their dog is getting on. I can also look after dogs in my own home when needed. I’m happy to discuss what would work best for each dog and their owner.

About:

About: We’re an Essex-based couple, huge animal lovers and proud owners of a 65kg Great Dane named Dobey, so big and boisterous dogs are nothing new to us! Most walks and drop-ins are done together, giving us two sets of eyes, especially with larger or reactive dogs. We have experience working with trainers and behaviourists and are happy to follow any routines or training you have in place. We also have two cats and experience caring for senior cats and dogs, including medication needs. We always arrange a meet and greet first so we can get to know you and your pet properly 🐾 We have a really flexible schedule, and there’s almost always someone at home. This means we’re very flexible with drop-ins and walks and can easily work around your pet’s usual routine. We always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home and stick closely to their usual routine. We also have lots of experience with reactive dogs and have worked closely with behaviourists and trainers, so we’re confident following any routines or training you already have in place. We’re also happy to offer suggestions where helpful, while always following what works best for you and your dog.

“Katie was amazing house-sitting for Jack. He's a nervous boy so Katie took the time to get to know Jack before we went away. It made a big difference! She kept us well updated while we were away, and the house was lovely and clean when we came back!”

“Charlotte took excellent care of Bobo and Max. Max is epileptic yet he was calm and happy with her. She handled his needs confidently and with full attention. Both dogs were comfortable and clearly enjoyed her company. We appreciate her help and cannot thank her enough. Highly highly recommended!”
