“Amazing experience with Jenny from start to finish. She is the best sitter we have experienced with. Very detailed and caring of our kitty. Can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again.”
“Charlie and Gary stepped in at short notice to do a drop in visit for my two dogs which I really appreciated. They fed them and let them out meaning I didn’t have to worry about rushing home to be there. I would definitely reckoned them to look after your animals.”
“I have had Kate dog sit Ella over the last few weeks and she has been brilliant with Ella. I am always entertained with Ella’s daily report card in regards to what she got up to, leaving me with lots of reassurance that she is in the best hands whilst I’m at work. I would highly recommend Kate!”
About: Hi, I’m Stevie, the face behind my new dog walking and pet drop-in service here in Brentwood. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and over the past five years I’ve been lucky enough to turn that passion into hands-on experience. I previously worked with Kirsty’s Animal Magic, where I was involved in dog boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits. During that time, I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, building strong bonds with both pets and their owners. Now, I’m excited to branch out on my own and bring that same level of care, reliability, and love to pets in the Brentwood area. I truly understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to get to know their individual needs, routines, and personalities so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energetic walk or a calm and reassuring drop-in visit, your pet will always be treated as if they were my own. I’m also pet first aid trained, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in safe and capable hands. For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love doing every single day. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m able to offer consistent and reliable availability for you and your pets. I provide dog walking Monday to Friday, typically between 11am and 3pm—perfect for midday walks while you’re at work or busy during the day. I’m also available for both dog and cat drop-in visits up to three times a day, Monday through Sunday. Whether your pet needs feeding, company, playtime, or a quick check-in, I can be flexible to suit your routine. Because this is what I do full-time, I’m able to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, while also being dependable and easy to book around your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When out on dog walks, I take a calm and attentive approach, making sure each walk is suited to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. I keep dogs on the lead unless told otherwise and only in safe, appropriate areas. I’m always aware of our surroundings—avoiding busy roads, being mindful around other dogs, and making sure your dog stays safe and comfortable at all times. I also carry water when needed and keep a close eye on signs of tiredness or stress so your dog can enjoy their walk safely. For drop-in visits, I respect that your home is your pet’s safe space. With both dogs and cats, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel relaxed and secure. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up where needed, and spending quality time playing or giving affection—depending on what your pet enjoys. I’m especially mindful with cats, understanding that some prefer gentle interaction while others may need a bit more space and patience. I am pet first aid trained, so you can feel confident that your pet is in safe and capable hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own, always aiming to create a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment while you’re away.
“Thanks so much Kerry! My boys were very happy and I would recommend you to anyone. Kept in regular contact and sent pictures daily, it’s so good to know they’ve been looked after so well! Thank you xx”
“Jade was wonderful with our 2 cats. She popped in to feed and play with them twice a day and we got great photos and a little update each time which put us at ease for our first time having a sitter - plus I actually think Jade took better photos of them than I do myself 😅 would highly recommend!”
“Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄”
About: I grew up with a gorgeous border collie whom I trained to a high level as the breed requires lots of mental stimulation and physical activity. In my previous role I would also dog sit a variety of breeds and loved every second! I currently work hybrid with my partner Sam so one of us is always at home during the week. We enjoy going on walks around the local forests and Essex countryside. I have a spacious garden in a gated community plus lots of local green areas where furry friends can enjoy long walks and nature. There are many dogs in the neighbourhood for them to socialise! There is a lift in my apartment building for older dogs who may be less mobile, it also leads directly to the garden. My apartment is one floor so the pooch would not have to climb stairs or be separated at night, meaning they would have constant company. I have comfy beds, blankets, treats and toys, and welcome their favourites into the home.
About: Although I’m just starting out professional pet care, I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I’m used to looking after them on my own. My dogs vary in age with the oldest being 14, so I have experiencing with senior dogs who may need a bit more support. I’m happy to discuss sending pictures and updates whilst you’re away so you can keep in contact with your dog!! I’m currently home from university for the summer so I am available most days of the week to take care of your dog!! I do have holidays pre-booked so I cannot do certain times in the summer but other than that im flexible. I will make sure your dogs sticks to their routine to create a comfortable and stress free environment for your pup. When house sitting I will keep your house extremely clean and respect your property. I’m very happy to do pre-visits with you and your dog to make sure I’m the right fit for your needs!
About: I provide personalised, one to one care, treating every dog as if they were my own. I live with my partner, and we have both grown up with dogs in our lives - and still have them in our families - so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of who we are. Our home is full of genuine love, understanding and respect for animals. I take the time to understand each dog's routine, unique personality and individual needs, so they always feel safe, relaxed and truly loved while in my care. I have experience caring for a puppy, including reinforcing basic training, maintaining toilet routines, and helping them settle into positive habits. I am also confident and patient with senior dogs, providing gentle support, administering medication if needed and offering plenty of comfort and reassurance. Communication is very important to me and I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I can provide regular updates, messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease. My goal is to always create a secure, calm and happy environment where your dog feels right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I am currently not working elsewhere and can dedicate my full time and attention to the pets I care for. This allows me to be very flexible and fully present. Because I am at home and available throughout the day, I can offer regular walks, feeding at preferred times, playtime and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, personalised care based on each pet's routine, needs and personality. Whether caring for pets in my home or in the owner's home, I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. If your pet is crate trained and used to having their own crate, I'm more than happy to continue this routine and can provide space for it in my home. I kindly ask that you supply the crate so it feels familiar and comfortable for them. However, if your pet is accustomed to more relaxed arrangements, they are also welcome to enjoy cuddles on the sofa or sleep in bed, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure and at home. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect their property and maintain the pet's normal routine to minimise disruption and stress.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 10, from friends and families pets, to looking after my own for the last 10 years. I have a hybrid work schedule with flexible working hours so I’m frequently available to look after your furry friends during the week and on weekends :) I have a fenced back garden which offers a very safe space for your pawfect friends to run around if they want to, my house is open plan but cosy enough for them to feel safe and secure! We are a house where dogs are part of the family so the default will be that they can join us for a cuddle on the sofa & on the beds unless the tail waggers owners tell us any different!

About: I am a pet sitter who lives in Brentwood. I am available most of the week for visits (dogs and cats) and dog walks. I am an animal lover who had lots of pets during my childhood. I had dogs and cats at the same time and enjoyed their company and friendship. I have a ginger cat at home. He doesn’t like dogs. That’s why we only keep my little ginger as the family pet. I like playing with dogs, taking them for walks, giving them treats and serving their food. I have experience bathing dogs and brushing them. I like petting cats, feeding them, playing with them and brushing them if they allow me. On Mondays and Wednesdays I am free most of the day to visit your pet for over an hour or take your dog for a long walk. I am available to go and visit your pet all days of the week, specially early mornings or evenings. I can take dogs for a walk on Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends.I can stay with cats and dogs for up to 6 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. I feed my cat every morning. I give him treats during the day and I make him play whenever he is on the mood. Although he likes to sleep in the garden, he comes to the house to see me very often. That makes me realise he likes my company. When we watch TV together, it is usually a cat video or a birds one.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Brentwood is £13

Naomi was wonderful. It was the first time we have left our jumpy rescue cat since we have had her. Naomi’s calmness, patience and perseverance with her meant Mia was relaxed enough to play and have some cuddles. The updates and pictures meant we could relax whilst on holiday happy that Mia was being truly looked after.
I needed to be in London all day, Charlotte was wonderful with my two Yorkies & gave them all the love & care they needed while I was out. Fully trustworthy & reassuring to know everything was taken care of & my dogs were happy 🐶🐶 Would definitely recommend Charlotte & her services.
I’m so happy that we found Kate! She’s super reliable and has been really flexible with our drop ins, and really lovely and playful with our pup. She always sends us lovely detailed updates from their walks which gives us such peace of mind. Absolutely recommend!
Jay was beyond amazing with our old man Loki. He was kind, gentle and patient with our little man and we couldn’t be more happy with the service he provided! Loki was sleepy and happy when we got home, which means he’s had a great walk. We were sent pictures, and updates. Jay was on time, very polite and sweet and clearly has a real passion for working with dogs! We will be booking in regularly with jay, as Loki seems to love him to bits! Thank you for looking after our boy with such care and love.
Jenny cared for my cat very well. I asked her to do some little extras like leave empty food pouches in outside bin which she did. I came home to a well looked after animal. Loved the daily updates which was a comfort to me whilst away from home. Would recommend this service to anyone.
Kerry went above and beyond during her visits to Hugo and he was extremely well cared for. Hugo had to be left for several hours as was being dropped off early by his original sitter so Kerry did three visits, including walks, to space out his time alone. Hugo was very happy during these visits and enjoyed a play and cuddle and was pleased for the company. Kerry maintained contact throughout and sent some lovely photos of Hugo having fun. All advice regarding his needs and mealtimes was followed and I felt relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely use Kerry again 😃
Raluca has been great over the past few weeks she has been dropping in on my 2 pugs whilst I am at work! She has really helped me feel at ease leaving them for longer periods of time for the first time and has been so accommodating with their needs and with any changes we have had. Raluca is super reliable and my 2 girls love when she drops in, would highly recommend!
Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄
I was very pleased with Rachel, so helpful and she got on great with our 2 very lively dogs. I was able to enjoy a long day out knowing that the dogs had someone coming in to let them out and give them some fun and a cuddle, I could see from the photos they had a great time. I would definitely book Rachel again, thank you.
Jane is incredible and I would highly recommend! This was the first time leaving our cat with a sitter and Jane made us very feel comfortable. She bonded with our cat quickly through lots of fuss and attention with regular updates throughout. I will definitely be using Jane again in the future.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
