Cat Sitting in Colchester

“Took lovely care of our cat, giving her fuss, cuddles and play while we were away. Great updates too, so made us feel really confident our fur baby was alright! Thanks so much! X”

“Always so great with my dog - the pictures and videos Adrian sends make my day. I know she’s for sure enjoying herself when I see those! Absolutely would recommend.”

“Melisa is amazing! My cat Zaida and I recently moved, so she’s been a bit stressed with the transition. Melisa made sure that Zaida was comfortable and happy while I was away for the weekend, and she was great at communicating with me and sent me very detailed updates. Melisa made this weekend so easy for Zaida and I - I would highly recommend Melisa for taking care of your pets and will be contacting her again when I need someone to look after Zaida!”

“Ana is so lovely and extremely flexible. Martha loved her and we would jump at the opportunity for her to look after Martha for our next holiday. Thank you so much 🥰”

“Dimitris has been an absolute blessing for our dog, Zapy. His compassionate care and expert handling made all the difference. Dimitris went above and beyond in every aspect, ensuring Zapy received not only the necessary walks and feedings but also plenty of love and attention. His proactive communication was comforting, with regular updates and photos that kept us connected to our furry friend. Zapy, who can be a bit anxious with new people, was immediately at ease with Dimitris. Dimitris' responsible and loving approach to pet care is truly commendable, and I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking peace of mind while away from their pet.”

“Highly recommend Barbora to look after your dogs. She always gives Lexa so much care and love like she’s her own. Always happy to help even at last minute. Your pups will be in safe hands with Barbora looking after them.”

About: We have enjoyed caring for quite a few animals over the past year and included them in our days out and long walks. Vito is an energetic boy who has loved playing football with my children. Charlie is a calm old lad who has thoroughly enjoyed belly rubs and attention from the family home. Max just likes playing ball for hours and my children indulge him all day long. Milo likes long playful walks and Moreno loved having cuddles. My extended family are also rescuers that take in border collies from around the UK. I look after my neighbours dog Gizmo and their Guinea pigs regularly. We have also have had x5 dogs in doggie day care with us for longer stays due to family holidays and they have loved every second. (They are not here all the time ;) We have walked a border collie over in Dedham several times which we enjoy very much. My friends, family snd employers can rely on me not only to take care of their animals but to work to theirs particular needs to be happy and settled. We have yet to find an animal who hasn't wanted to stay and play. I am a secondary school teacher and my daughter Brooke (aged 16) is in secondary school. I will happily take care of animals before or after school and always on weekends. School holidays we are always open for business. We are flexible and work as a team. We are happy to board for you any time of the year. We have a big garden with high fences so your little treasures can't escape. We have a welcoming house and we love long walks or to snuggle. We have 2 young children, aged 5 and 8, who are gentle and kind. They adore the family dog Max who is a border collie (Max is our Nanas dog and lives with Nana). We have previously boarded larger / medium dogs 🐕 (not all at once) and it has been very successful. They have loved being here with us. One particular dog visits for 3-4 weeks a time in the summer.

“Katie and Lawrence have looked after our cocker spaniel Marley since he was a puppy. Marley loves spending time with them, and can’t wait for their visit. I fully trust them to take great care of Marley both during the day and for longer stays. Marley and I could not recommend them both enough.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was very young, my family have had all different dogs from all different backgrounds. I’ve recently just got my own puppy who is a 6 month old Rottweiler, I can provide training whilst doing walks and pet sitting as a good will gesture. This is something I love and enjoy doing and dogs give me serotonin. I used to have a Staffordshire bull terrier and I looked after him until he sadly passed away at the age of 14 so I would like to think I have a lot of senior care work aswell I’m currently working part time and choose my own hours/days so I will have plenty of time to play and look after your pets. I take my own dog on a walk twice a day if this is something that would be beneficial to you also I have a garden and can crate your dog if needed, my dog is crate trained so if it will make you feel more comfortable having your dog also in a crate whilst you are gone to make them feel more safe I am happy to provide this. Your dog will be able to roam the house and I will have the exact routine they are used to whilst you’re gone

“Philip is a very trustworthy, kind and patient man. He has joined me on many dog walks over the years and has always had a good bond with the dogs. He is very calm which has a very positive effect on the dogs. Plus he’s good fun!”

“Qianqian was excellent visiting my cat while I was away over Christmas. She sent me regular updates and was very good at keeping me updated. Will definitely book again 😊”

About: Hello, my name is Charlotte. I have looked after dogs my whole life and dogs of all sizes too. From Chocolate Labradors to French Bulldogs to Springer Spaniels! I am that person that stops people on the street to tell you how gorgeous your dog is. I grew up with a dog from a young age and since moving to London signed up to borrow my doggy and also done a lot of caring for my sisters rescue dog when she is away. I am a huge dog lover and would be honoured to look after your dog for you! I am currently working full time but work from home twice a week and have the weekends free for doggy care. My weekends can be quite flexible and happy to work around you. I live in a flat, however I am within a 30 second walk from a large grassy area. I have a two flat mates but they are also huge dog lovers of all sizes.

“We had a long family trip away when our dog was quite young and were very worried about what we were going to do with him. He’s a very needy dog and also hadn’t had the best start with training so we knew it was going to need to be someone with a lot of patience who would give him a lot of love and work with his current state of training. Bekka had always loved on our dog and was probably one of the only people we would have considered asking to have our boy and when we did she didn’t even hesitate. She took the time to come around and let him get to know her better while learning all of his needs and routines and kept us well updated throughout our trip away. Our pup was treated with so much care and attention, he can’t wait to go back to stay again!”

“Amelia Jo loves animals, she has many including reptiles. She loves any animal including dogs, she’s passionate in caring for any in any environment. She loves dogs and cats and tortoises and reptiles and cares for them for anyone. She’s a caring individual and will look after a pet with no trouble. Reliable and trustworthy.”

“Megan took great care of my lovely dog Rufus. Megan helped me with regular walks and also looking after Rufus for a week when I was on holiday. He absolutely adores Megan and she is very much missed now that she has moved ! He always came back well exercised, having done his evolutions and a happy boy! Thank you Megan for always being on time and putting my mind at ease with great pics of the happy boy when I was away.”

About: I have grown up with animals since I was 5 and have had multiple pets in my home at once such as cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and more. I couldn’t imagine my life without a pet. I am free almost all the time so I have plenty of time to look after your furry friends. They will have all my attention. I also live with my boyfriend who loves animals too so double attention for them :) I can easily crate your dog if needed and have plenty of food and water constantly available for them. I live local to a field so can always take them for a nice walk

“Hi, sharnie is excellent with dogs as she has looked after my dog for a few weekends, she always playing with dogs and gives them lots of love and attention. I would highly recommend sharnie to anyone who would like their dog looking after.”

“Was able to board my cat last minute, really generous and frequent updates, there were really no faults I'd definitely recommend 🐈🌼🌟”

“We have just boarded our lab with Georgia for 8 days. He can be a nervous dog and this was the first time we have left him with anyone so we were also nervous! We needn’t have been as he has had a great time with Georgia. We had regular updates with pics and videos and as Georgia is so relaxed and laidback, Ozzi had no problem settling in during his stay. I definitely felt confident that Georgia treated him as if he was her own pet and highly recommend her. For us, our worries about leaving Ozzi with someone he didn’t know meant we didn’t do holidays but we would not hesitate to leave him with Georgia again. We are so pleased to have found her! Angela.”
