House Sitting Chelmsford

“Elif was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and she made sure to send loads of pics and updates for us. Our cat was really superbly cared for and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Elif in the future!”

“Becky is fabulous, my dogs took to her straight away. She checked what level of communication I’d prefer pre stay. Becky fitted in seamlessly and I felt completely at ease with her in charge while I was away 😊”

“Fran was wonderful with our three furbabies. They were well cared for and loved her! She kept in communication and sent tons of pictures. Will definitely be booking her again”

About: I've had dogs of varying breeds my whole life, and so I'm comfortable looking after any dog. I regularly look after dogs for friends and family with the help of my friendly Cavapoo, Nellie. I treat all dogs like I would my own, with full access to the house and garden and a lot of love. I love walking and so am always keen to exercise dogs and give them a rewarding day. I work from home three days a week (Tues/Weds/Thurs) and so can be flexible throughout the week as well as on weekends. Dogs fit into our lives seemlessly and so we are always happy to have them in the house. I have a fenced garden and a friendly Cavapoo, Nellie who is always happy to share toys and keep dogs company whilst with us. I treat other's dogs as if they were my own; with a lot of love, attention and walks.

“Steph was fantastic and everything you would hope for in a sitter. Great communication, lots of pics and updates and most importantly looked after our pet so well! Can’t recommend highly enough and would use Steph again in a heartbeat!”

“We booked Ruby for a two night house sit and all was excellent. Misty was obviously happy and Ruby sent little photos and videos regularly. We would recommend Ruby for a worry free trip away and would definitely book her again.”

About: I had a westie throughout my childhood and early adulthood and since then I have look after lots of different breeds for friends and family. I’m currently available full time for any doggie needs. I can be very flexible with drop off/pick up times. I can walk dogs up to twice a day morning / evening, long or short walks whatever you prefer. We have a large fully fenced garden for your dogs to run around and play! The back doors are open all day for your dogs to go to the toilet when they like and walk/play around freely! This is a very loving and caring home and we will care for your pet like it’s our own .

About: I have many years of experience in caring for dogs both through having my own dogs and regularly caring for those of friends and families. My house is really welcoming to other dogs and a safe place for them to come and stay. My labrador Alba is as chilled as they come and we enjoy some lovely daily walks in the surrounding area. Recently semi retired so primarily based at home. Will get out for a walk every day and love to interact with dogs throughout too. All people living in house are dog lovers. I have a fenced garden and a super friendly 9 year old lab for added companionship. I enjoy getting out daily for walks. The house is a busy one with 3 teenage children, all who have been brought up around dogs.

“Ben and Gabriella were fantastic. Really friendly and attentive, flexible, and happy to spend time getting to know us and Cody so they and we were comfortable. Definitely would recommend and will be hopefully getting their help again!”

About: I have recently completed my final year studying Animal Management at university, where I’ve gained a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training, health, and welfare. This allows me to provide more than just basic care—I can recognise body language, support positive behaviour, and tailor each dog’s routine to suit their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including more nervous or anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. I’m also confident reinforcing basic training such as lead manners and general obedience during their stay if needed. Another key difference is that your dog will rarely ever be left alone. Between me and my partner, someone is typically always home, so your dog will have constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. We are also both insured outside of Rover! I also provide a calm, spacious home environment and keep my bookings limited to a maximum of 2 dogs (as long as both owners are informed and have agreed prior), so each dog receives focused care rather than being one of many. Combined with regular updates and photos, I aim to give owners complete peace of mind while their dog is with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in the pub downstairs (Thursday-Saturday evenings - can change depending on your booking!), but between me and my partner, one of us is always at home—so your dog will never be left alone. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to be flexible with routines, whether your dog prefers early walks, multiple shorter outings, or a more relaxed schedule. Because I’m in my final year of studying Animal Management, pet care is a central part of my lifestyle, not just something I do occasionally. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and spacious home environment in our private upstairs living area, away from noise and distractions. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, behaviour, and any specific needs before their stay. With my background in Animal Management, I’m confident reading dog body language, managing different temperaments, and ensuring a safe, stress-free environment. I keep bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of attention and space. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if there are multiple dogs, always prioritising safety. Regular updates and photos are provided so you can feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.

“We have an elderly nervous dog and Judit made us and Alfie feel so comfortable! Can’t recommend enough and looking forward to booking again! ❤️”

About: I’ve grown up with animals, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, hamsters! I have two cats of my own which I’ve had since they were kittens and currently have 2 family dogs, I used to support my mum with her dog walking business and often help out neighbours or friends with pet sitting! I work from home most days in the week so would be happy to support during lunch times or if needed all day support I can work from home at your location! I am very easy going and as long as your animal is friendly or learning to be I can fit to however your schedule looks

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs from a young age, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, whether that’s an energetic dog who loves long walks and playtime or a quieter cat who prefers a calm, gentle approach. I make sure pets stick to their usual routines for feeding, exercise, and cuddles, and I always treat them as if they were my own. My aim is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away🐱🐶 I currently work shift patterns so would have to fit caring responsibilities around my days off. I get three days off so have plenty of time available. I live in a second floor flat with loads of outside space around me, so your pet has plenty of chances for nice, long walks.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to every pet in my care. Having completed an apprenticeship as a veterinary assistant and qualified as a dog trainer, I am able to recognise potential health concerns and work confidently with dogs of all temperaments, including those with challenging behaviours. I'm available for Dog Walking Monday to Saturday 9am to 7pm; for Pet Sitting I'm available all week. I'm have a very flexible schedule. I like to tailor my services to each individual pet. Some thrive on routine, others enjoy adventure. Whether you are looking for some human company for your pet or some adventure partner to take your dog exploring, I can help!

About: ❤️ Please send me a message before booking to check availability! ❤️ Hey! I’m a total dog lover with lots of experience and a big soft spot for rescue pups! (cats too!) I grew up with my childhood dog for 16 amazing years, and now I’ve got three girls of my own - including two rescues from Spain who had a rough start in life. They’ve taught me so much about patience, love, and how to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. I also regularly dog sit for a family member 3–4 times a week, and we love heading to the local dog park for a good run and playtime. The more, the merrier! ✔️ Certified in pet first aid 🎓 Just about to complete my Diploma in Pet Sitting & Dog Walking 🐶 Next up: a course in Canine Communication - because I’m all about understanding what your pup needs and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog is super chill or full of beans, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I currently work full time from home, Monday to Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility! A few times a week, I can pop out for drop in visits to check on your little darling, give cuddles, food, or a quick walk. If your pet needs more company and can’t be left alone, I’m also happy to work remotely from your home - as long as there’s Wi-Fi available! Weekends are very flexible for me too, so I’m usually available for longer stays, walks, or extra playtime. If I’m visiting your home, just give me a heads-up with anything I should know about your furry friend - like their quirks, routines, or any special needs. Also, a few details about your place (like how to get in, alarms, or where the treats are hidden 😉) would be super helpful to make everything go smoothly!

About: As well as having by own pets since childhood, I have worked at a stables since I was 13. I am now a veterinary student, and have had experience with a variety of animals during my studies and work experience placements. I have also enjoyed pet sitting during my studies so far. I have a busy timetable 9-5 Monday to Friday while I am at university. However, I would love to fit in some pet sitting or dog walking outside of these hours, at weekends, or during these hours subject to agreement. I am not able to offer pet care at my home, but would be more than happy to offer pet sitting, house visits or dog walking. I am reliable and trustworthy, and will keep you updated with messages and/ or pictures of you would like me to.

“We had a great experience using Rover and would happily recommend Ashleigh. She was friendly, confident, and immediately put us at ease. She came prepared with her DBS certificate, asked lots of thoughtful questions about our dog, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable. Throughout the stay she sent updates and photos, which was really reassuring. When we arrived home, our dog was calm, relaxed, and clearly very settled. We’ll definitely be using Ashleigh again in the future. was our first time using Rover and”

About: Hi there! We’re Leia and Dan, a young couple who loves animals. We’re currently in a flat, so we’re looking to share our space with your furry friends to get a flavour of what it’d be like for us in the future. We live in a comfortable space with a balcony for fresh air throughout the day. Both working hybrid work patterns so one of us will be at home throughout the day to have cuddles, belly rubs and walks. Having grown up with cats, and regularly looked after my parents cats, we know they have their boundaries, but love to have attention (on their terms) and have that perfect chin scratch. When boarding cats, we wouldn’t have the balcony open to ensure they are kept safe. We naturally love to be outside, whether that’s walking or camping. So, if you decide to board your pooch, trust they will be taken on many walks (it keeps us healthy!) to explore local routes. Whether it’s a walk, a day, a weekend, a week, or more, we’re happy to discuss looking after your pet. Both of us work hybrid work patterns so one of us will be at home throughout the day to have cuddles, belly rubs and walks throughout the week. Our weekends change depending on the weather and social plans. Sometimes we stay at home watching movies and playing board games, and other times we like to venture out and explore a new walking routes and stop mid way for a lunch break. So we can accommodate our schedule depending on your pet. We have a balcony for fresh air which we will keep open if we are looking after dogs (and a watchful eye at all times). For cats, we wouldn’t have these open but instead keep our windows ajar so the fresh air can still flow in but they are kept safe. If looking after pets in your home, we take security very seriously. Ensuring that any doors are locked and keys kept safe until you return.
