House Sitting in Brentwood

“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with our dog while she looked after him for a few hours during the day. He had unfortunately been attacked the day before, so we were naturally quite anxious about leaving him but Jessica was incredibly attentive, gentle, and mindful of his needs throughout. She kept us regularly updated, which gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear he was in very safe and caring hands. We returned to a calm, happy dog and a house that was left spotless and tidy. We’re so grateful for the care and reassurance she provided at a time when we really needed it, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter.”

“Giorgina, was great. Felt very comfortable leaving her overnight looking after my Dog and Cat. She kept us nicely updated with pictures, and upon our return the house was spotless. Most importantly our Fur babies looked like they were both really comfortable and had had a good time. Would have no hesitation booking Giorgina again and will do. Eddie”

“We cannot rate Katie highly enough, and feel so lucky that we found her on Rover. Katie spent 8 nights/days staying at our home to look after our dog, Belle. Katie is so kind and caring and just has a very special way with animals, (she also cared brilliantly for our axolotls, which can be tricky little things to look after). Belle instantly took to Katie, and from the photos, video clips and updates that Katie sent we could see that Belle had the best week! Katie gave her so much love and time, and took her on wonderful days out - we had absolute peace of mind at how well Belle was being cared for. We are already looking to rebook Katie for next years holiday. Thank you so much Katie! Also Katie looked after our home and everything was perfect on our return.”

“Jade was fantastic. Communicated before and during her stay, arrived punctually and was respectful throughout. She has a great knowledge of animals and our 13-week retriever took to her so well. We came back to a very happy little pup. Thanks so much Jade, we’ll definitely be using you again 😊”

“April was great looking after Otis, she let herself in early, which helped greatly when we were travelling away at the crack of dawn. Would highly recommend.”

“Flora took all the concern out of leaving my fur baby for the first time. Regular updates with photos and returning to a happy dog - who could ask for anything more. Would have no concerns about recommending Flora and already rebooked!”

I will take care of your pet like they are my own and make sure they are safe and happy. I will follow your requests and preferences.

“Leah looked after Wolf for the first time and we couldn’t be happier. She was caring, reliable, and instantly made us feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout via WhatsApp, sending pictures and regular messages, and was always very responsive. We’re truly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy dog sitter.”

About: I’m a genuine dog lover with experience looking after friends’ and family dogs. If your pup is very active, I’m a keen runner and happy to take them with me (with your okay and within their ability). My schedule is flexible. I work hybrid, so I can fit pet care around my home days and evenings when I’m in the office. I’m happy to offer walks, drop‑ins and overnight stays during the week or weekends, always following your dog’s routine I live in a flat with a green space right outside and easy access to local parks, so walks are varied and frequent. I always follow your instructions, whether that’s keeping your dog on a lead, avoiding certain dogs or areas, or sticking to specific routes. At home, I maintain a calm, tidy environment and keep to your dog’s usual routine for feeding, toilet breaks, and rest.

About: Hi! I’m 21 years old and have been around animals my entire life. I currently look after a bullmastiff and a cat regularly, so I’m very comfortable with both large dogs and the individual routines and loveable quirks of cats! In the past, I’ve also owned and cared for rabbits and bearded dragons which has given me experience with a wide range of temperaments and care needs. As a masters student, I attend university only twice a week, so aside from my lectures, I can dedicate all my time to caring for your pet. If your dog is sociable, I can arrange safe introductions with friendly pets of my neighbours or nearby family members. If your pet prefers a quieter environment, they’ll have my flat to themselves, ensuring they never feel overwhelmed. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and on Mondays and Wednesdays before 11am and after 4pm for drop ins or visits! Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority. My flat has a secure balcony with high fencing, providing safe ventilation if your dog needs fresh air while I step out briefly. I have a crate suitable for all sizes, including large breeds like a bullmastiff, so your dog can rest securely when needed. For exercise and outdoor fun, I live next to a beautiful countryside field with a lake, perfect for safe, scenic walks. Every aspect of their environment is designed to keep them happy, secure and cared for.

About: Your pets comfort and safety will be my top priority. I have experience with a company providing holiday care, including experience with administering medicine and special diets. I currently work part time, I am available a during the week and at weekends and nights if needed. Also, I will be able to do some holidays. Any time I am walking a dog I will always keep them on the their lead. If they are used to sleeping in the bedroom then I will do the same as they will feel more comfortable and want them to feel at home.

“Yasmina was great she took excellent care of our bulldog Rocky whilst we were on out honeymoon. It was the longest we had ever left him but we received regular updates and pictures. We have already booked her in again for when we are away at a wedding next. Would 100% reccomend.”

Simon C.

“With such short notice Jessica provided an amazing service. She arrived on time and had no issues bonding with Koby and keeping him entertained while I was away, and even spending some training time with him. Definitely looking forward to booking again!”

“Jenny looked after my two dogs (Lhasa Apsos) for a week. I have never used a dog sitter before and Jenny was very reassuring, getting to know the dogs before her stay and asking lots of questions about their likes and dislikes. Understanding their different temperaments and behaviours, especially when walking, as one dog is quite anxious. I was updated every day during my holiday with news and pictures about the dogs. I came home to two very happy dogs, a clean and tidy home and the knowledge I can now go away again without all the stress of organising care for the dogs or worrying about how they are when I am gone. I can't thank her enough.”

“We would definitely recommend Caitlin and book her again in the future. Her communication was excellent both before booking and throughout the time she was looking after our dogs. The dogs were well cared for and happy. Many thanks for everything Caitlin”

About: I feel I understand dogs and their specific needs. I would care for your dog as an individual and make sure they were in the best environment possible. I have a lot of experience with dogs, having been a dog walker for over 5 years. I also have my dog first aid certificate. I love dogs and have always had rescue dogs. One from Texas and now a rescue from Romania. They bring their own challenges as they're nervous. So if you do have a nervous or reactive dog I do understand their needs. I have good availability and would be able to do most times. Morning afternoon and evenings are fine. So if you need someone to fill in last minute I'd be happy to as I know the stress myself of leaving my dog alone. I've recently looked after an elderly cat and 3 dogs whilst their owners were away on holiday. I really appreciate how they're a member of the family so provided constant updates and photos.

About: I have had my own dogs ever since I was a child and just love looking after them. I think it is important that when you entrust your baby to someone, they have the same passion as you do for dogs. I am available at short notice as I am currently only working part time hours. I am happy to fit around your schedule as much as possible. I treat the dogs in my care as if they were my own. With care, love and attention to the needs and personality each dog.

About: We are one year on in our Rover journey with many 5* reviews. We have met some lovely people with their lovely pooches, and now have many regulars coming to stay. We have both had our own dogs since we were children and currently have a very healthy, and happy 5yr old cockapoo, called Molly who loves the company of our guests. We walk the dogs daily when we are doing school runs, and we both work from home so also welcome a break from work to exercise and play with them in our lunch breaks. We live next to Lake meadows in Billericay so this is generally where we explore with the pooches but if they are with us over a weekend, or for a longer period of time we tend to go further afield. . Our children provide a real comfort and source of entertainment for our doggy guest with many of their owners bringing presents for giving them so much love and affection during their time away from home. We have a secure fenced garden and live in a quiet cul-de-sac with no busy roads and a robust system when answering the door to ensure no pooches escape! We have cameras and security in place for the odd occasion we are all out of the house. We have a dog friendly car with the expected safety belts should we take the dogs on outings, drop off and pick up, or vet appointments if ever needed. Your beloved pooch will always be returned clean, brushed and smelling sweet after their stay with us.
