About: I am new to rover but have lots of experience with dog sitting. Apart from caring for my very own Cavapoo, Teddy, I have regularly looked after my family and friends pets too. Dogs have always been a part of my life and always had one in my home so I have a lot of experience from owning my own pets. I used to have a shar-pei and a Staffordshire bull terrier. I work from home so it enables me to give your pet all the attention they need, some company with plenty of cuddles and lots of playtime! My dog would also love a friend for the day or the night too. I love all type of breeds, big and small. To make sure your furry pet is comfortable, I am happy to meet them before hand and will ensure you are kept regularly updated with photos too. Any questions feel free to message! I currently work from home and can offer regular toilet breaks with a big enough garden available and huge greenery / fields near by so your furry pet will get enough exercise too. I have a fenced garden which is safely secured. If you prefer to keep your pet crated, I do have one available. In addition, I have a 16 month Cavapoo of my own who will ensure to keep your pet company. My pet is allowed in every room of my house, no rooms are restricted so will ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

“Fantastic Jane made us feel confident in leaving Bailey he felt happy with Jane as soon as we arrived can't recommend enough thanks Jane”

About: My husband I have always loved dogs and had them in our lives since childhood. We are early retirees and able to offer outstanding care for your beloved pet/s. Our own beloved family member, Alfie, a Cocker Spaniel died in 2018 and we have since then lavished all our love on our granddog Duke, a Golden retriever, who lives in LA, whom we have helped raise since he was a puppy. We are early retirees and when not travelling, are able to offer 5 star care for your dog/s in our home, which is a good size, clean and very safe. We are both young, mid 50's and very active with access to walks around the lovely countryside in Bocking, Braintree. Having been on Rover for nearly a year and with a bit more experience, we offer a high quality service limited to just one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family. We will not mix your dogs with any other dog, at any time during the stay. We wish to provide the best care possible and for us, we realise it's best if we concentrate on a single dog, or a pair of dogs, from the same family to maximise, safety, care and attention on your beloved pet/s. We are recently retired and therefore able to prove maximum time and attention to any Dog that stays in our home with us. We are also able to visit your home for walks or drop-ins. We have a fenced in garden, which is dog friendly and safe. We have a spacious home, very safe and clean and a perfect loving environment for your pet. We live very close to the Fennes, giving us the best walks in Essex, perfect for us to exercise ourselves and your pet. We are both mature and responsible adults with lots of time on our hands. We are only looking to look after a maximum of one dog, or two dogs from the same home, at any one time, as we are looking to provide high quality and maximum attention to a small number of dogs, so we can enjoy the experience of having dogs, rather than providing care for financial reward alone.

“Chelsea and Rico were amazing to Cotton. She was visibly so happy on her time there. Long walks definitely made her happy. She has been so calm since I picked her up. Thank you for the patience with her, she is just a puppy and Rico has been a good influence on her for sure.”

“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter. She really made us and Jessie feel at ease and we had no hesitation in leaving Jessie in her care. Rebecca sent a video and pictures of Jessie on a walk and we could see that Jessie was extremely happy. We would have no hesitation in using Rebecca again.”

About: Hi, My name is Laura. I'm an animal lover and I've always had pets ever since I was little. I've had rescued dogs, birds, turtles, hamsters, rabbits and I currently have 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a puppy and tropical fish. I provide home visits and I will make sure your pet is my number 1 priority and will treat them like I treat my own. I'm able to feed them, brush them, play with them and send you daily pictures and updates for your peace of mind. I can also water your plants if needed. I also provide a home boarding for small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Lastly, I offer dog walking in Brantree. I live near a big park (Blackwater) so it's ideal for walks or I can walk around your area too. I have worked in an animal rescue in Spain, walking, feeding dogs and cleaning their enclosures and I have also fostered cats and dogs. I've also looked after my friends' pets while they are away, so I have lots of experience. I'm a full time mum of a 7 and a nearly 2 year old who adore animals. I'm at home most of the time. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you, Laura I am a full time mum so I have plenty of time to look after your furry friend. When I do home visits I can feed other animals too and watter your plants, bring in your mail, etc. I live in a spacious 4 bedroom house with a very big fenced and secure garden. I live close to a very nice and big park so it's ideal for doggy walks.

About: Does your dog find busy environments, other dogs, or kennels overwhelming? You're in the right place. I specialise in caring for anxious, nervous, and sensitive dogs in a calm, dog-free home; just your dog, no others. There's no competition for attention, no unpredictable dog dynamics, just a quiet, relaxed space where your dog can settle at their own pace. Ex-teacher seeking a quieter pace after years in Central London. Lifelong dog owner and trusted sitter for friends’ pets, and very much the type who gravitates to the dog at any gathering. Calm, reliable, and attentive, offering walks, home visits, and sitting with plenty of care, routine, and companionship. I am actively job hunting at the moment, so cannot commit to bookings too far in the future. I’m currently very flexible after leaving my Central London teaching role and while working on my MSc. I have plenty of time for walks, visits, and sitting across weekdays and weekends, and I can easily fit around your dog’s usual routine. I grew up with dogs and have long been the trusted sitter for friends’ pets. I live with my husband in a calm, dog-friendly house with an enclosed garden on the edge of fields for safe outdoor time and long walks. We have no children or other pets, so visiting dogs receive quiet, focused attention and can relax comfortably. I follow routines closely and prioritise safety, supervision, and secure environments at all times.

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: Hi, I'm Liam! I've been around animals all my life, growing up with cats and caring for dogs for over 16 years. I have experience with puppies through to senior dogs, and I'm happy to administer medication where needed. I also have experience caring for rabbits, so whether your pet needs energetic walks, gentle companionship or extra patience and care, they'll be in safe hands. I know every pet is different, and I'll always take the time to understand their routine and personality. I'll care for them as if they were my own, with plenty of love, attention and regular updates to give you complete peace of mind. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I work from home on a flexible schedule, so can work around your pet's needs. I walk my dogs 3 times daily and feed them regularly. I live in a quiet village which is very safe. I have a fenced back garden and a quiet household and the estate is well away from main roads. We keep our rabbits in the lounge.

“Bailey had a lovely day with Joanna he came home exhausted as he had lot's of fun playing with Bramble he will definitely go back again. 😃”

About: Hi, I’m Danielle! I had my gorgeous French Bulldog for 9.5 years, so I have lots of first-hand experience with the extra care and attention brachycephalic breeds can need. I’ve also previously pet-sat alongside my flatmate, caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I work part-time from home and live with my mum and brother, so I’m home most of the time and can offer plenty of company, cuddles and supervision. I know every dog has their own little routine, personality and quirks — and I’ll genuinely listen to you about yours! No instruction is too weird or overly specific. If your dog likes something done a particular way, that’s how I’ll do it. 🤍 I’m particularly confident with Frenchies and other brachy breeds, including being mindful of breathing, temperature, exercise, feeding and knowing when something doesn’t seem quite right. I also know how nerve-racking it can be leaving your dog with somebody else, so you can expect regular communication, photos and little check-ins while they’re with me. 🐶📸 I work part-time from home and, due to living with an autoimmune illness, I naturally spend a lot of my time at home, so your dog will have plenty of company and rarely be left alone. 🤍 On weekdays I enjoy two gentle local walks each day, with lots of time at home for garden breaks, cuddles, play and relaxing together. At weekends, my mum, brother and I often enjoy little trips to a garden centre, coffee shop, park or occasionally the beach, and I’d be very happy for your dog to join us if that’s something they enjoy too! Everything will always be adapted to your dog’s usual routine, age and needs — particularly with brachycephalic breeds. Walks and outings will be adjusted or avoided during hot weather, and I’m very mindful of temperature and breathing. My home is very dog-friendly, with a completely secure fenced garden, gates on doors/stairs where needed, and plenty of cosy places to relax. I also have steps for getting on and off the sofa and a dog buggy available for dogs with IVDD, back problems or limited mobility. My main approach is to make their stay feel as much like home as possible. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding times, sleeping arrangements, medication and house rules — even the little quirks that might sound silly to anyone else! If they’re crate-trained, I’m happy to use their crate, and if they’re used to sleeping in bed with someone, they’re welcome to do that too. 🤍 Safety is really important to me. Dogs will always be kept on lead outside of secure areas, I’m cautious around unfamiliar dogs, and I’m particularly attentive to any existing health conditions or changes in behaviour, breathing, eating or general wellbeing. If anything concerns me, however small, I’ll contact you straight away rather than assuming it’s nothing. I’ll also keep you updated as much or as little as you’d like, with regular photos, messages and check-ins so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and being very well looked after. 🐾

About: I'm an experienced dog owner and now really enjoy looking after dogs which I've been doing for friends and family for many years and now looking to do it more regularly. I work from home so dogs will rarely be left on their own for longer than an hour at a time. I work for myself at home so I can be very flexible to your dog's needs and will be happy to stick to your dog's routines. I have a large fenced garden laid mostly to lawn and access to lovely off road dog walks close by for as many walks as needed.

“First time I have ever left Millie with anyone. Jess couldn’t have been nicer. So kind and reassuring. I was kept updated with photos throughout the day. Millie had a wonderful day. I will use her again if I ever need daycare. I can’s recommend her highly enough. Thanks so much Jess.”
