Dog Sitting Colchester

“Katie was great - clearly really likes animals, and was more than happy to pop in over a weekend to feed (and fuss!) our cat. It was nice to see the photos she sent us of the cat looking very chilled out. Katie even kindly removed the mouse gift that had been left for her overnight! Have already booked for future dates. Thank you Katie.”

“Anita was great! She looked after Lexi our cat whilst we were away on a trip and communicated really well with us and made sure Lexi was happy at home given the crazy heatwave we were experiencing during the time. Would happily book Anita again for pet care.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs. I provide a safe, secure home environment with a fully fenced garden and two friendly, well-socialised dogs to keep your pet company. If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised care. I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.

About: I've had pets since I was a toddler - both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have experience with medically monitored pets and pets with behavioural issues. I have helped to train animals. I am generally a lover of all animals! I am currently unemployed and so I will have plenty of time to put in to caring for your animals, however much time they require. Once I know I will be sitting for you, I will ask for any house rules/training rules you establish for your pet. I will follow these to the best of my ability to make the transition for your animal as easy as possible. My focus will always be the comfort of your animal as a guest in their home.

About: I’ve also had animals my entire life, life is not the same without having that buddy by your side. I grew up with staffies and they were my absolute world! When I got my first job, it was in a pet shop which meant I was always around animals!! It was my idea of heaven!! 🥰 Over the course of my life, I’ve had all sorts of pets; dogs, rabbits, rats, snakes and even a few praying mantis! I am very experienced all over the board with animals and love spending time with them :) I’m active and always out and about in nature so taking your doggos out for the day is no problem! I’ve not personally had cats but close friends and family have always had cats and I’ve been helping with their care for many years! Each pet has their own personality and I’m sure with your guidance and information I can help reassure you that your little friends are well looked after while you’re out! Thank you for reading and feel free to message about any queries! :) x I’m looking to start doing pet sitting as my full time job so that I can do what I love all the time and that is meeting all these new friends and giving them the best experiences while you’re at work or away! I’m out walking or jogging daily so bringing a buddy with me would be amazing! I can also enjoy a good cuddle on the sofa with those snuggly babies! I will make sure your pets routine is just like normal and they get all the attention they need. Any special requests are also accepted e.g. medication, certain areas for walks, training etc

About: Hi, I'm Charlotte! I've grown up with dogs, cats and other small animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. Alongside regularly walking dogs, my partner Joe and I also look after family and friends' pets whenever they need us to. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, we treat every pet as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after. We both work in the emergency services, so being reliable, trustworthy and dependable is second nature to us. We work around our shift patterns, which gives us flexibility to offer care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings and weekends. We're based in Ardleigh, where we're lucky to have plenty of lovely countryside footpaths and quiet walking routes right on our doorstep. Whether your dog enjoys a gentle stroll or a longer adventure, we'll make sure they get the exercise, attention and care they deserve. We know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and we'd love the opportunity to get to know both you and your furry friend. Our shift work gives us a flexible routine that works really well with pet care. As we both work in the emergency services, we have different shift patterns, meaning there is usually someone at home and we can plan our time around the needs of each pet.

Our home is set back from the road, giving pets a quieter and safer environment, and we also have security cameras around the property for extra peace of mind. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, cuddles, exercise and downtime depending on what they’re used to. We understand that some pets need lots of interaction, while others prefer a little more space and a calm routine. When caring for pets in their own home, we know that staying in a familiar place can often be less stressful. We’ll keep to their normal routine, spend quality time with them and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, we want your pet to feel happy and relaxed, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being looked after by people who genuinely love animals.
