House Sitting Basildon

About: Loving every dog, big or small, lazy or crazy! 🐶🐾🤍 Hi, I’m Sadie! I’m a reliable and patient dog sitter based in Essex. I make sure every dog feels safe, calm, and sticks to their usual routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind. I have experience training dogs from puppies through to adulthood, so I’m confident handling energetic or strong dogs. I have currently studying part time so this is perfect for me. I am available a total of 4 days a week and study for the other 3. I feel that this fits into my life very well. If walking your dog, I will be okay whether big or small. I own a large and very strong dog myself so am experienced in walking strong dogs. I am also used to difficult and even reactive dogs and walk them on a regular basis.

About: I have grown up with a variety of pets, including fish, dumbo rats, a rabbit, a Sharpei and currently an active, friendly French Bulldog. Also, my sister, who is also a Rover sitter, has trusted me to help with pets that she has cared for, including walking and play. As well as this, I helped care for an unwell senior Jack Russell. I have just completed my A-Levels and am currently available throughout the week where I can dedicate my time to your pet. For walks and check ins, I am available up to or around 8pm every day. I would follow any instructions left by the owner in order to make the pet feel more comfortable and keep its routine. I would make sure that they were kept entertained. I am ok to take them on extended walks if the breed requires.

About: Hi, I’m Larnie! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have always had both dogs and cats in my life. I currently have one dog and four cats of my own, including a kitten that I raised from birth. I also cared for and raised a litter of four kittens, helping them grow into happy, healthy cats before finding homes for them. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, so you can be confident that your pets will be cared for with the same love and attention that I give my own. I have recently finished college, which means I currently have a very flexible schedule and can provide visits throughout the week. I’m available most days, with limited availability on Saturday afternoons and Sunday midday. I aim to work locally so I can be reliable and responsive for both regular and last-minute bookings. From September, my availability may become more limited as I move home, but I will continue offering pet services and will keep my schedule updated. The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe pets are happiest when their usual routine is maintained, so I aim to provide calm, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and currently have four cats and one dog of my own. For pet visits ,I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning - cats - , playtime, companionship, and medication if required with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I will always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe and cared for. If boarding is required, I have a large secure fenced garden for dogs and an enclosed outdoor area for cats providing a safe environment for pets. I am also working towards creating an even better dedicated space for pet care in my home. Throughout every booking, I provide regular photo and video updates, and I’m always happy to keep owners informed for extra peace of mind. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Friends, family and neighbours regularly trust me to walk, feed and look after their pets. I’m patient, reliable and always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable and well looked after. I’m also fully insured for extra peace of mind. I work part-time alongside caring for children, which means I have a flexible routine that fits well around pet care. I’m used to being responsible, organised and attentive, and I plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets the time, care and attention they need. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins or longer stays, I’m able to provide reliable and consistent care throughout the week. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, so I always treat it with the same care and respect as my own. While looking after your pets, I’ll also make sure your home is kept clean, secure and well cared for. I’m reliable, tidy and attentive to any instructions, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“It's the second time we have used Courtney to pet sit and she did an excellent job once again. Terrance and Tia seemed very underwhelmed to see us arrive home, so I think it is also a big thumbs up from them too.”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I grew up with countless dogs having 2 of my own training one from a puppy and the other as a rescue who was a staffy cross rotty. Im very experienced with nervous and aggressive rescues as almost all our dogs were rescues. I am currently working part time with different jobs I am also studying during the week. On the days I would be caring for dogs I would be with them the whole day. I have a 1st floor flat with access to a near by park it has recently been renovated so the space is clean and comfortable. The dog i was looking after would have access to clean refreshed water, walks atleast twice a day in the near by parks and plenty of cuddles and stimulating activity.

As I also have my own dog im used to tending to him throughout the day and going for lots of walks I live in a house with a garden but also am a few minutes away from 3 different parks in the area. My cockapoo loves playing with all dogs, so your pooch would have hours of entertainment with my Reuben!!

“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!”

About: I've always been brought up with dogs and cats being a major relationship in my life, I've looked after Chihuahuas to Staffordshire Bull Terriers. I love spending time with animals - I often prefer their presence to people! Just know that if I am lucky enough to look after your furry friends, they will have my undivided love and care! I am available day and night - your pets will be my number one priority whilst you are away, so that is one less worry whilst you're on a flight, cruise or road trip! I am currently a university student who is home over the summer period. I am fully flexible and can be booked at any time! This means that your furry friends will be my top priority as I have no other commitments. I will make sure to follow the feeding schedule (depending on the owner's preferences), make sure your pet has enough stimulation and follow the pet's individual routine. Although you're away, your pet's routine will remain the same.

About: I have had dogs my whole life of all breeds, sizes and temperament's, when possible I am always on the go and try to give our doggy friends a day they would enjoy! Love seeing their faces happy, eating or sleeping. Have had experience with giving medication to elderly dogs also. Not a professional dog trainer but have trained all my family dogs and looking to start this as a profession in the next year. I work full time Monday to Friday but two days from home, these two days I am also at home with my own dog Koba a noodle, so common wee breaks and attention is guaranteed. Although I live in an apartment with another dog when I am working from home common wee breaks are already a part of my day and am always looking for new ways to stimulate dogs. I go for long walks morning lunch and after work and look to be out as much as possible on the weekends weather dependant.

About: I have over two and a half years of hands-on experience working in kennels, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My role involved feeding, exercising, maintaining high hygiene standards and ensuring every dog felt safe and comfortable. I also hold a pet first aid certificate, so I’m confident handling situations calmly if a pet ever feels unwell. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have a senior Bullmastiff who is my absolute best friend, and I’ve grown up around many different breeds ranging from Border Terriers to Mastiffs, Huskies and Italian Spinones. This has helped me become very comfortable understanding different personalities, energy levels and care needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I bring to every dog I look after. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a nervous dog that needs reassurance, or a senior dog that needs a slower pace and extra attention, I always treat them as if they were my own.”** 🐾 I’m currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits and day care between 8:30am–4pm on weekdays. I also offer boarding on weekends, where your dog will receive lots of attention, care and a comfortable environment while you’re away. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, exercise, medication if needed, and any house rules they normally have. During walks or visits I make sure dogs get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation depending on their age and energy level, while also prioritising safety at all times. With my kennel experience, I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. If pets stay in my home for weekend boarding, they’ll receive plenty of attention, regular walks and a calm, clean environment where they can relax. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured their pet is happy and well cared for.

“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!”
