House Sitting Chelmsford

“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 😊”

“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!”

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.

“Tia looked after our 7 month old puppy Kelce for the day and was fantastic. Kelce loved her instantly, brilliant communication and she regularly updated us throughout the day. Can definitely recommend and will book Tia in the future for sitting!”

About: I have very good communication skills with pets. I grew up with my cat and developed a strong understanding of animals. While studying for my Vet Medicine degree, I also worked as a volunteer in animal shelters and gained experience in caring for animals with different needs. I have full time job, start very early and finish early afternoon. Free all the weekends, and evenings. I have a car could drive near places . I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine and I currently work as a Vet. You can trust me to take care of your pets. I can also help with following treatment plans and if needed help you with giving your pet tablets.

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

“Ken house-sat for me for four days to look after my two terriers. The dogs were really happy and Ken was great with them. He left the house clean and tidy and was respectful of my property. I had not used Ken before but would not hesitate to book him again. I highly recommend him!”

“It's the first time I've booked Olivia and am very pleased with how it went. Olivia arrived on time, was communicative throughout the booking and my dog and cat were relaxed and calm when I returned. Guidelines were followed and I had no concerns at all. I'd be happy to use Olivia again if the situation arises in the future.”

About: I have owned a Bernese mountain dog and a cavalier king charles, so I have had experience with large and small breeds. Ive also house sat for friends and relatives. I have a qualification also in pet sitting plus hands on knowledge with some medical administration. I have also volunteered at dog and animal sanctuaries, home and abroad. I do work part time, so I am flexible with being able to look after your dog. I drive but would really , for visits you must be fairly local. I will be only be looking to dog visit or sit in the owners home. For safety reasons,I would need to know if your garden is fully fenced in, whether there are any areas where your dog could escape. Also exercise , how long and where, what sort of personality your dog has and any special requirements , food, how much and any medicines.

“We honestly cannot recommend Anna highly enough! She stayed in our home for a whole week looking after our 4-month-old kitten, Jasper, and we couldn’t have wished for a better person to care for him. From the very beginning, Anna was amazing. She took the time to listen to all of our instructions, understood Jasper’s little routines and quirks, and made sure he had everything he needed while we were away. She was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and caring, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing Jasper was in the best hands. Anna kept Jasper entertained, played with him, gave him lots of love and attention, and always kept us updated with regular photos and messages. It meant so much being able to see what he was doing each day and know that he was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. The biggest compliment we can give Anna is how much Jasper loved her. He is only 4 months old and still getting used to the world, and although he doesn’t usually cuddle up with us very often, he became so affectionate and cuddly with Anna. Seeing him so relaxed and comfortable around her showed just how safe and loved he felt. It was clear that she built a real bond with him. Anna also looked after our home with so much care and respect. Everything was exactly as we left it, and she went above and beyond in every way. She was reliable, respectful, communicative, and genuinely passionate about looking after animals. Leaving your pet with someone can be stressful, especially when they are still a young kitten, but Anna made the whole experience completely worry-free. We came home to a happy, content, and well-loved kitten, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gave Jasper. Thank you so much, Anna, for being so wonderful with Jasper and for treating him like your own. We would absolutely love for you to look after him again in the future and would recommend you to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and loving cat sitter!”

“Sarah was a fantastic live-in sitter for our two energetic labradors. She was reliable, tidy and we came home to to extremely happy dogs. She gave us up regular updates whenever we needed them but was independent in the house. We trusted her completely throughout this day and would highly recommend her as a sitter. She gave them plenty of exercise, cuddles, and love.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve looked after neighbours’, friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats for many years, including feeding, walking, playing with them and giving them lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable caring for different breeds, personalities and routines, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. I work part-time, so I have good flexibility around my working hours. I’m available for house sitting, walks and drop-in visits depending on the day, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I can discuss your preferred times and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care and company while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in their familiar surroundings and follow their normal routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed, exercised and given plenty of attention, affection and company. I’m respectful of your home and will always treat your pets as if they were my own, following any specific instructions you leave for their care.

“Ludivine is a very kind and gentle and trustworthy person and was so wonderful with our 2 dogs! She came to meet us all before her stay and we immediately knew that she would quickly gain a good understanding of their needs and strange ways!!. She kept in touch regularly throughout our holiday and sent photos. We had no concerns at all, and could completely relax. When we got home, after the initial crazy "welcome home chaos" it was plain to see that they were very laid back and content in her presence ..it was like we were never away! We feel so lucky to have met Ludivine, and we hope that she will stay again in the future. Thank you Ludivine 😊xx”

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.

“Kai looked after our pets while we were away. It was the first time leaving our dog Kylo so we were a bit anxious about it but Kai was absolutely amazing. He meet them a couple of times beforehand and kept us updated. They were both extremely well looked after. I think Kylo specially will miss all of the belly rubs he got from Kai. Will definitely book Kai again. Thank you so much for making it a bit easier to leave them.”

“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!”

Ben S.

About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I have lived with and cared for pets and dogs from the age of six, meaning that understanding animal behavior, routines, and body language is second nature to me. This lifelong devotion allows me to quickly connect with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was solely the proud owner of a rescue dog who required daily medication, strict routines, and an immense amount of patience. This beautiful experience taught me how to connect with sensitive, anxious, or medical-needs dogs. I know firsthand how to build trust with animals at their own pace, providing a calm and safe environment for pets who need extra tenderness. I work from home most of the week and can be home all day so your dog will always have company. I can also be available at weekends if I know in advance. - I have a fenced garden so your pet can use freely to play or for toilet breaks whenever they like - I do not have any other pets - Pets are allowed on furniture 🤎🐾

We like to share pictures through the day to let you know what a good time your dog is having.
