House Sitting Colchester

“Evelyn was incredible! It takes a special type of person to tire out a spaniel and she managed it, I’ve never seen Gus so chilled! Would 100% book again 🩷”

“Anita was like a dream come true version of the absolute best dog sitter! She was so delightful, as a lovely person to fully trust and especially to be with my dog Lola. Normally, Lola cries whenever I leave her, but Anita gave Lola all the cuddles and attention to keep her perfectly calm. Anita is 100% the best dog sitter I have ever known, and she will be my first choice to be entrusted with Lola!”

“We ended up having to cancel on Amanda super last minute when something came up - she was really understanding and we really hope we end up working with her at some point in the future! X”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner and volunteer, offering calm and reliable care through walks, drop ins and house sitting. I’m a Samoyed owner (Luna) and I understand how important routine, reassurance and safe handling are. I’ve also supported Essex Therapy Dogs and The Cinnamon Trust for a number of years, so I’m comfortable caring for different personalities and needs, including dogs who benefit from a gentler approach. I’m happy to help with: > dog walks (different sizes and energy levels) > drop ins for food, water, toilet breaks and play > house sitting so pets stay relaxed in their own home I’ve completed a dog first aid training course and carry a dog first aid kit on walks and visits. I also have been enhanced DBS checked through my volunteering roles. Hi, I’m Daf, a dog lover and aspiring dog photographer based in Essex. I’m a calm, reliable sitter who focuses on making dogs feel safe and settled, whether that’s through regular walks, drop ins, or staying with them in their own home. I’m happy to fit around your dog’s routine as much as possible, especially for pets who benefit from consistency. I offer walks, drop ins and house sitting, and I’ll always confirm timings in advance so you know exactly what to expect. If you’d like multiple visits per day or specific walk times, I’m happy to arrange that too. I don’t offer boarding at this time. I will always look to care for each pet according to their needs and follow their routine closely (food, walks, play and house rules). I’m calm, patient, and focused on safety. I’m big on clear communication, so you’ll always get updates (and the occasional great photo!). I have also completed a dog first aid training course and will always carry a dog first aid kit with me for visits and walks.

“Charmy was a wonderful dog sitter and a true companion for my little Maltipoo dog. She sent a photo with updates whenever asked, and I felt completely at ease with her skillful approach to keeping my dog calm and happy. 100% recommended to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Daniela was brilliant with our 2 cocker spaniel puppies. They can be hard work due to high energy levels, but she handled them perfectly. She kept us updated, asked what they liked when they were unsettled and sent lots of picture updates. Our house was left tidy, she did washing when needed and was respectful. The pups were clearly happy when we got home which was reassuring. Overall very pleased and would happily have Daniela care for our dogs in the future. Thank you.”

“Leah is such a lovely person, very kind and immediately knew how to manage my 5 month old Golden Retriever Puppy Huxley. She was so accommodating, despite last minute changes to my schedule, nothing was too much, very respectful of the house & wanted to know everything about Huxley. He had the best time with her and will definitely be booking again for Dog sitting services. Thank you”

About: I have cared for a number of small-medium dogs, catering to many personalities and quirks. I am keen to keep my walking and sitting in line with any training being carried out by you as the owner, including walking/lead habits, socialising, house training and more. I have plenty of time in my schedule to take your dog for long, energetic walks during the week. Your dog can expect all the belly rubs, ear scratches and kisses they could want! I currently have very flexible working days during the week and weekend for services! I can provide day long services as well as early morning/ evening walks. I am very flexible with offering times for dog walking, including very early morning strolls. I keep a watchful eye when walking or sitting, and of course treat any dog as my own whilst in my care. I have excellent time keeping and can ensure your dog’s routine is kept well.

“Excellent service provided and would highly recommend.”

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for family and friends’ dogs and cats of all sizes. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, playtime, companionship, and home visits tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet with the same love and attention as my own. I’m currently on a break from my studies, which means I have a flexible schedule and more time available to care for your pets. I’m organised, reliable, and happy to adapt to different pets’ routines and needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own home by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and care. I understand every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always take the time to make them feel calm and comfortable while you are away.

About: Growing up with a household with both dogs and cats, I have gained a strong understanding of their individual personalities and their unique quirks. I have grown up around cats and dogs and also litters of kittens and puppies! I understand their needs and the love and care they require. I have currently returned back to the UK after working in Spain for a few months, I currently have a clear schedule to be able to look after your furry friends! I live in a spacious house with a big garden which is fenced off. No pets are currently living with me. When looking after pets in another household I understand their safety is extremely important and I would look after them as if they were my own.
