Pet Sitting in Basildon

“My dog Shane can be a little bit nervous with new people in the house, but Emily quickly calmed him down and he has really enjoyed his time with her. Emily is the first dogsitter I've booked through Rover and I've been really impressed. Emily is polite, professional and clearly has a real interest in making sure the dogs have a good time as well as putting the owners at ease while they are out.”

“Ryan G was absolutely fantastic! His love of dogs truly shines through in the way he cared for my dog Arthur. Most importantly, Arthur adored him which says it all! Ryan was reliable, caring, and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable to look after their dog!”

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.

“Highly recommend Laura, she is very caring, professional and so helpful. My Boston terrier loves her visits, she goes the extra mile to mentally stimulate her during her time with her and I know her welfare is top priority, lots of photos provided for each visit too, thank you Laura.”

“Anna was so lovely with our Mila. I was really worried to leave my cat with no human contact during the day so i booked her in for 2 visits a day for 4 days and Anna kept me informed of Mila's progress with lots of photos. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and I would certainly book her in the future if needed.”

Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for dogs and cats of every breed, size, and personality. From playful terriers to majestic Maine Coons, I’ve spent over a decade building trust with pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving, and tailored care.

“Gemma looked after Tara for four days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was always punctual and kept me in the loop with regular updates, which was really reassuring. She took the time to play with Tara and made sure every instruction was followed to the letter. Tara was so happy and clearly found a lively, caring friend while we were away. I’m so grateful for Gemma’s thoughtful and attentive approach—we’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

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.
