“If you are nervous of leaving your fur babies with someone new, I can highly recommend Susan. She is calm, patient, loving and treats your pet in a home from home experience in a safe environment. My dog lucca has just had the best three days with Susan. Games, cuddles and walks, all in one day and regular photos and video’s sent to me throughout the day. Super service and such a lovely person, you will not be disappointed. I will be booking again.”

About: ENHANCED DBS CHECK As a widow and the owner of Brigit and Nelly, where Brigit attends weekly training classes. I deeply understand dog behavior and the importance of individualized attention. I only board one dog at a time, ensuring a peaceful environment tailored to their needs, complete with a daily one-hour walk to keep them happy and healthy. Your pet will feel truly cherished and cared for in my hands. I can offer holistic animal treatments while your dog is present in my home. Pet care is naturally integrated into my daily routine, ensuring a seamless and attentive experience for the animals in my care. Since I am home every day, I have the flexibility to provide constant supervision, companionship, and care tailored to each pet's unique needs. **Daily Routine:** - Early Morning: I begin the day with feeding and a one-hour walk for the boarded dog. This ensures they start the day with fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation. - Midday: Time is dedicated to play time to rest or relaxation depending on their energy levels. - Evening: Another round of interaction, such as a light walk, or holistic care practices (e.g., Reiki. Bach Flowers or crystal therapy), is included if needed. - **Evening:** A relaxed environment with attention, affection, and any additional care the dog may require before settling in for the night. Weekly Routine: My dog Brigit's training classes are part of the weekly schedule, enriching my understanding of dog behavior and training techniques. These insights are often beneficial for the boarded dog, as I can incorporate similar practices and enrichment activities tailored to them. Because I board only one dog at a time, I can adapt my schedule as necessary to accommodate any specific needs or routines the pet may have, ensuring they feel at home and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is equipped with a secure garden, allowing dogs to enjoy outdoor time in a safe and controlled environment. Whether it's for play, relaxation, or exploration, the garden provides a perfect space for pets to feel at ease. For added security and comfort, I have a crate available if needed, which can be used as a cozy, familiar retreat for rest or downtime. I am attentive to each pet's preferences and needs, ensuring they feel secure and supported during their stay. With over 40 years of experience in pet care and a commitment to personalized attention, I strive to create an environment where trust and relaxation come naturally. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and at home.

“Hannah was fantastic!! Our dog was so happy and chilled from the moment he got there. He had numerous toys to choose from and went for a lovely long walk; Hannah was very accommodating also. Would highly recommend 😊”

“Our 2 rescue dogs seemed to really enjoy their trial day. They had a lovely walk and snuggle on the sofa with Dan. Really appreciated the regular updates during the day. We shall definitely be booking again. Thank you.”

About: I’ve looked after dogs of all ages since I was a young child. I treat every dog like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Including walking, playing, lots of love and cuddles, feeding and handling medications. I’m currently working part-time and looking to achieve my dog grooming qualifications. I am available throughout the week, including mornings afternoons and evenings, and can do various weekends. I have a semi-detached house with a large floor space, with a fenced garden to keep your pup safe. I have plenty of dog toys and treats.

“I cannot thank Charlotte enough for this. Completely personalised amazing care. My puppy was picked up and dropped off. When she came home, she was well exercised and satisfied. Honestly an amazing sitter who treats my dog like a beloved member of the family.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was young. Growing up with a variety of dogs, cats and horses. I care for my own working springer who I raised from a puppy. Ensuring he lives a happy and enriched life. I enjoy positive reward and relationship based obedience training with him and long countryside walks. I’m self employed with my own dog friendly business premises. As a result I am able to be very flexible with dog walking and house visits. I am very flexible due to being self employed. I have my own dog friendly work premises so they can come to work with me if needed. I can provide day care services, house visits and of course regular dog walking.

About: A lifelong animal lover and activist 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 💝 Being home based full-time, I am flexible throughout the days all week 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 spacious and secure 2 bed flat, and while I don't have a garden specifically, I do have a decent-sized and shaded balcony with secure high railings and plenty of space to spread out for some fresh air with views over the canal in the downtime between walks. With cats, I wouldn't feel comfortable giving them access to the balcony, but they can soak up the sun spots and views through large lounge windows instead. Other sociable cats and dogs would be the ideal houseguests due to Rico being quite playful, but my partner can also keep him separately at his house Friday - Monday if that would make your pet more comfortable. Some more advanced notice may be needed to work around existing plans and appointments but we'll try our best to accommodate! 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 bring them xtra comfort 💝 For added peace of mind all-round, dogs need to be microchipped and come with their collar and ID tag please. For new bookings, a free meet & greet would be needed ahead of any planned Daycare, or a trial night - offered at 25% off - for Boarding requests. If you think things could be a good fit or you have any questions, just drop me a line ☺️

About: I run every morning, and I thought, why not make it more fun with your dog's company? We'll have a blast and stay fit together! I'm all about a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet. If you want the same for your furry friend, I'd be thrilled to train for a half marathon with your dog! So, if your dog needs a fun and active buddy while you're busy, look no further. Let's make our mornings healthier, happier, and more hilarious! I work in IT with a flexible schedule, running mostly in the mornings and occasionally in the evenings. ____ I have a tiny toy terrier with a broken leg (not from running, I promise - it's a joke!). So, if your dog needs a fun and active buddy while you're busy, look no further. I run around the streets of the county and in parks. I can pick up the dog in the car or you can bring it to me. I also give dogs toe massages 😂😉

“Tracy (and family) were so amazing with my doggy coco I couldn’t recommend her enough! I had never left Coco before other than with family and she made me feel so at ease, it really was a home away from home for her and she sent me little pupdates throughout the day which was lovely. Will definitely be booking in again and I know Coco will be so excited to go back!”

“Maria was great taking Lexi and short notice and also for longer as we were delayed back from our day out. Maria kept in touch with us and sent photos. Maria was welcoming and relaxed we were more than happy to leave her in her care. Lexi seemed relaxed when she came home which is always a good sign. Thanks very much”

About: I have lived with dogs and been around dogs since I was a child. I have taken care of dogs in both the UK and Spain (Currently reside in UK) I have had my own dogs in the past (spaniel and Dalmatian) The comfort and companionship that a furry friend brings is missing in my life right now. You will be able to relax knowing your friend is in safe experienced welcoming hands. Currently work part time, so I am available all days of the week to feed, walk and play with your lovely companion and give each pet as much attention as they require. Live in a flat on the first floor, there is no danger of any pet. Pets are allowed on the sofas and there is a open garden and plenty of nearby parks to play games and walks with them

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels for over 16 years. I’m calm, patient, and genuinely love building trust with each animal I meet. Whether it’s a shy rescue or an excitable puppy, I adjust to their needs to make sure they feel safe and loved. My experience with family, friends, and neighbours pets has made me confident in handling everything from daily walks to special care like administering medication and supporting senior dogs. I’d love to house sit or walk your dog local in the Chelmsford area! Get in touch :) I work from home most of the time but do have to go to the office sometimes. I’m usually home Thursdays - Mondays. I sometimes have to go to the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It varies week by week. I can go for walks any time before 9:15 on weekdays, then for around 90 minutes some time between 1 - 3:30, then anytime after 6pm. Most weekends I have time for walks and over night stays. I live in a safe and secure first-floor flat with access to a communal grass area, where I take dogs that I’ve looked after out every couple of hours, or sooner if they need it. The environment is calm and quiet, with no children or other household pets, so there won’t be any disruptions. I live alone, which means your dog will receive plenty of 1:1 attention and care in a peaceful setting.
