About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since 11 so I’m very reliable in walking and caring. My dogs, Benny and Scruffy, are both 15 so I have experience in caring for senior dogs or dogs who may require medication. I also have a background in dogsitting for various friends and family. I am currently on my gap year so I do not have many commitments at the moment. So I am very flexible for time and can work around you! I’ll be sure to attend to your dogs every need and give them the best possible care while you’re away, I’ll be happy to follow any house/pet instruction and can provide you updated with pictures and chats during.

About: I've had all sorts of pets since I was a small child and looked after my family dog until I moved out of home. I regularly looked after my sister reactive chow chow and worked with him on lead training and basic commands to correct his aggressive and possessive behaviour I work part time. I clean on Monday, and work in a salon Thursday and Friday but I'm never out the house for more than four hours. I do occasionally do nail clients from home as well. Our weekends involve going on walks and seeing friends. I have a fenced in garden and plenty of walks and dog fields around to give your dog varied exercise. I keep dogs out of our room but they have free range of the lounge and kitchen. Happy to create your dog if that makes you comfortable

“Heather has been brilliant with our energetic golden retriever from the beginning. We have used her for home visits/dog walks and boarding and wouldn’t use anyone else. Always reliable and our dog loves seeing Oly at her house.”

“I have been using Bex for the last 3 weeks and I’m really impressed with her. After our first meet in a local park my dogs were so excited each time she came round to take them out for a long walk or feed them. She sends video and picture updates throughout the day and my dogs are always knackered when I get home. This is the first time I have left the dogs for the day since getting them and she put my mind at rest straightaway. She goes over and above, cleaning up accidents and even hosing down the patio and my dogs after they had an upset tummy. She has been an absolute star and I will continue to use her services for as long as she’ll have us :)”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised my beloved rescue dog from a 2-month-old puppy all the way to 14 years. In her final years, she became very ill, which gave me extensive, hands-on experience in specialized senior care and administering medical treatments, including oral tablets, liquid solutions, and eye drops. Throughout my life, I have also owned and cared for many cats.Beyond my own pets, family members, friends, and neighbors have regularly trusted me to sit, feed, and look after their dogs of various breeds and sizes. I am a very active person, so I am always excited for long walks and engaging playtime. I am also happy to help with essential grooming, such as brushing and safe nail trimming. Your pet will receive the highest level of responsibility, love, and dedicated care! I am currently not working, which means I have a completely flexible schedule and can dedicate all my free time to your pet. I am available at any time by prior arrangement, allowing me to provide constant attention, timely feeding, and long walks whenever your dog needs them. Safety and trust are my absolute priorities. I have plenty of space in my home and a secure, fenced garden where your dog can play safely. Since I currently do not have any pets of my own, your furry friend will receive 100% of my love, care, and undivided attention. Having raised a rescue dog for 14 years, I know exactly how to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

About: A lifelong animal lover and advocate with hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and temperaments - from growing up with rescue pets to professional experience as a dog walker more recently, where I handled up to 4 dogs at a time. Today, I’m a proud mum to Rico, our sweet and playful 2 yr old Husky x Mastiff, who's very friendly and always keen to make new pals - big and small! Adopting Rico has taught me even more about handling and training strong, energetic breeds with confidence, patience and a whoole lotta love 💝 As a heads up for first-time bookings, a free meet & greet would be needed ahead of any Daycare requests, while a full trial day - offered at 20% off the full price - would need to be completed ahead of any long-stay Boarding of 2+ nights. This is to ensure the wellbeing of my dog as well as your own. New Rover users also get £15 off their first booking with the below link: https://www.rover.com/sit/chels21350 I work remotely for the whole week, so I am flexible throughout the days to give pets in my care all the attention, walks, tickles and toys they might need. I know first-hand how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your fur bby in someone else’s hands, so I prioritise communication, consistency in individually tailored care and genuine affection in every visit! We live in a 3 bedroom house on a quiet dead-end close, and have a secure fenced garden that your dog would have access to whenever they'd like, whether it's a quick toilet break, a run around with my doggo, or a snooze in the sun spots. We can only take houseguests that are friendly and well-socialised with other dogs due to Rico being quite playful, and they must also be good with children, as my partner has an 8 year old daughter who stays with us 50% of the week. She is very loving and gentle with animals, and used to the company of big dogs, but its really important that any pets we take in have a good temperament and no history of aggression. I can also cater to any specific diets, schedules or administering oral medicines - for overnight stays I just ask that you provide their usual food to keep things consistent and comfortable while they're away from home, and you're welcome to bring anything that might give them xtra comfort if needs be 💝 For added peace of mind all-round, dogs need to be microchipped and come with their collar and ID tag please. If you think things could be a good fit or you have any questions, just drop me a line ☺️

“Can’t fault Lisa at all. She came to give our Ruby a walk and it looked like Ruby had a lovely time! Would highly recommend Lisa to look after your pets.”

We have a large fenced garden for daytime entertainment, and vast open space just out of our back garden for long walks with your pooch when with us. On drop in visits and walks from your home, I will ensure I follow all instructions given by you to ensure your pets safety when with me.

About: We have helped care for a variety of dogs through Rover and privately and would love to be a 'holiday home' for your dog too. As licenced home from home boarding we offer a safe, calm and nurturing environment for every dog in our care. Alongside our rescue dog, we welcome up to 3 dogs for boarding or daycare, ensuring small, harmonious groups where each dog receives individual attention and well supervised care. Our approach is rooted in welfare, emotional safety and routine. With a background in mental health nursing and counselling, and studying my Level 3 Ofqaul canine health, welfare and behaviour course, we bring highly attuned understanding of canine behaviour, making our home/retreat especially suited to seniors, anxious dogd and 1st time boarders Before Rover and my private business I have also regularly helped pet/house sit dogs/cats for family/friends. Owners receive regular updates and photos, giving you complete piece of mind while your dog enjoys a relaxed, happy-centred stay. Our commitment to high standards, transparency and compassionate care has quickly made our business a trusted choice for dog owners across Essex 'Home from home' experience guaranteed! LICENCE NUMBER AAL/155 Our home consists of myself and my partner, Nick as well as our lovely rescue dog, Ada. I work from home 3 days but there is always someone at home. Nick takes Ada for an early morning walk before he goes to work and your dog can come to. Then we have evening walkies each eve over the fields opposite our house. Lunch time walkies may also be added. Quiet times are encouraged to ensure dogs get enough sleep. Weekends we like to visit dog friendly venues or sometimes book an enclosed field/wood for safe off lead fun. Ada is a sensitive soul but we call her the 'supervisor' as she generally hangs out and watches over what guest dogs are up to. She can sometimes be playful but she being quite low energy she is also happy to lay about (and snooze). I have a 'higher standards' council licence rating (you won't find many on Rover who can say that!). My rates may seem slightly more than others on Rover but this is because I need to consider tax, insurance, licence fees and paying for things like vet approved disinfectant to keep your dog safe as well as my ongoing training. I am fully insured for boarding, sitting, transportation as well as basic grooming. I collaborate with Betty and berties groomers and can transport your dog here for a groom whilst you have your holiday I have a certificate in dog first aid, safety and basic grooming. I regular update my canine CPD. I am aiming to complete my canine health/behaviour course by the end of the year but have good knowledge of dogs especially owning a rescue. I would always keep a close eye on your animal whilst they are in my care. Being a nurse & counsellor, I am very observant and vigilant to your dogs emotions and of course am trusting. I provide a 'care plan' for every dog monitoring their diet/fluid intake, toileting, behaviours, enrichment. I am able to give tablets or creams meds as needed. I have vast human dementia experience so feel I could manage confused pooches too. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave me re diet etc. Ada is better chicken free so I understand the importance of allergies. An enhanced DBS certificate is available on request. If I needed to leave your dog at home (quite rare), I use a camera in the kitchen to keep monitoring for any significant agitation and leave the radio on the drown out some outside sounds. I tend to leave radio 2 overnight downstairs to help dogs settle to. I am happy to keep up with any training your dog needs especially if they are young.

About: With my experience and dedication, I am able to provide the very best care for your furry friend. I have experience with all breed's, big and small and have made it my mission to learn and study as much about dog's and their behaviour as possible, continuing with this every day! I have experience within dog day care and professional dog walking, and kennel environments. I have robust experience with reactive large breeds. I am currently studying towards qualifications in Canine Behaviour Training, which is a keen interest of mine. I am fully insured and DBS checked and have completed a canine first aid course. There is nothing I love more than seeing a happy, fulfilled dog and I throughly enjoy the adventure whilst walking alongside them. I am fully-flexible currently, with plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your furry friends. I am available for check-in's and walks differing in lengths. I will always put your pets needs at the forefront of my actions. If I am entering your home, you can be sound in the knowledge that I will treat it with respect and make sure that your dog has everything it needs to be comfortable and happy. When out walking, I will ensure that I create a strong bond between myself and your dog in order to ensure their safety at all times, I will ultimately treat your dog as my own and give the very best care possible.

“Harriet was excellent, she helped me on a last minute booking. She took my 8 month old puppy for two walks for the day which he really loved as he was even more excited to see her the second time round. Will definitely be request a booking with her again should the need arrives.”

About: My family and I have had and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I love all animals and want to make sure they are happy and safe at all times. I was raised with police dogs and now have two little ones of my own, Bonnie and Chester. We couldn't imagine our home without them, they are part of the family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and we are happy to accommodate whatever you dog needs. I am available at all times, including weekends or holidays for whatever service you require. We can host multiple dogs in our house at the same time and deliver whatever needs and expectations you have for your pet. At our home we have a fenced garden and lots of places to roam within the house. Pets are allowed on the furniture and beds. I want them to feel as if they were at home. I have two Yorkshire terriers, Bonnie and Chester. Chester loves other dogs and wants to be friends with everyone, Bonnie is more reserved and can be quite nervous at times but adapts quickly. I am easily able to keep all dogs separate if requested. In our house we are always playing or having cuddles with our dogs, we love taking them for long walks and giving them the exercise they need.

“Sonny was all tail wags after his walk with Sarah! She was prompt, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Sonny took to her immediately and couldn’t wait to head out again—which says everything. It’s such a comfort knowing he’s in caring, capable hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again.”

About: Pet Care Experience: My partner and I have extensive experience in veterinary care. I have worked as an emergency vet nursing assistant and student veterinary nurse, while my partner is a qualified veterinarian. We have encountered and worked with a wide variety of animals, and are adept at providing first aid if ever needed. While we love our current jobs, we are particularly passionate about working with animals and would like to extend this passion to our home life. In addition to our professional experience, we currently foster small breed dogs, including pugs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshunds, and others. We also have our own dog, a female pug named Olive, who was originally a foster dog but has become a permanent member of our family due to our deep affection for her. Therefore, any dogs that stay with us must be dog-friendly as Olive will be helping us insure you have a tired pooch. Schedule: I work part time as an evening vet nursing assistant at an emergency veterinary clinic on a one-week-on, one-week-off basis. During my week off, I provide doggy day care and boarding, which is already scheduled in my diary. My partner, who is a qualified veterinarian, works during the day at a veterinary clinic from Monday to Friday. We are open to caring for pets with medical needs, such as diabetes. Your furry friend will be treated with the same care and attention as our own pets. They will have free range of the house, including the bed, sofa, and garden. Our 4-bedroom home is just a 4-minute drive from the Cotswolds, providing plenty of opportunities for scenic walks. For less mobile dogs, there is a playing field a 9-minute walk (2-minute drive) from our house. We generally keep dogs on a leash for safety, however, we can accommodate off leash time in some enclosed dog-friendly fields nearby upon request.

About: I have had pets my entire life and dogs since I was 14. I have just returned home from working abroad fro the past 10 years with my little whippet. She is now 11 years old and have come home to the beautiful Essex country because i miss it. I work from home and absolutely love going for long walks with her everyday. I often take other dogs when people need and dogsit regularly. Whilst I don't have a garden, I have an entire cricket pitch on my door step for regular outdoor breaks and then beyond that footpaths and fields galore. I have doggy rucksacks for the smaller and older pups but for those who enjoy the longest walkies let me know and me and my whippet will happily go out for 2-3 hours from time to time. I get up and walk for 30-60 minutes about 7 am, then throughout the day whilst i am working i take regular breaks out in the garden which backs into the horses. Then between 4:30 and 7 will go out for another walk and evening miander after pups dinner before settling down for some Tv and snuggles on the sofa and bed. I live on a large 2000 acre farm so there are abundant walkies and no other dogs to contend with which is good because I can let the pups just enjoy themselves! There are horses and cows and livestock so please let me know if your dog is reactive- I have one 11 year old Whippet who loves cuddles and play time and all the sniffs over the fields. She also loves sleeping on the bed, but will usually stay in her bed until 5am and then get in for a couple of hours before breakfast and walks. I also have a crazy 10 month old daxie who loves to play, to note he is currently not spayed so we cannot accept aggressive unneutered males however we host regulars who are unsure red and they love each other.

“Klara was very time efficient when walking Mutah, she arrived on time and was even willing to walk him in the pouring rain. My dog was very comfortable around her, and seemed very happy when he got home! I will definitely be using her service again in the future. Would definitely recommend Klara, as she is trustworthy and made me feel safe when leaving my dog in her hands.”
