Ana is very reliable, professional and our dogs love her. She was amazing as sending pictures and updates of our dogs. We will have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. We have booked her for all of our breaks this year. First class.

Francis has walked my lovely Dachshund Bella for the past year. She is always on time and very polite. She takes Bella to the park and sends me pictures of their adventures. Bella is not very good with other dogs, but Francis knows how to deal with this and I always feel that Bella is in good hands.

Amanda Moore was the best dog mum Amber and Ruby our 2 cockapoos could wish for, she would always be ready and willing to take them both for walkies, feed them on time, groom them both and of course play with them, as our daughter she was also the one that kept the vaccinations etc up to date. Infact until she moved into her own house she was hands on and our dogs miss her in their own way.

Damian was an absolute lifesaver! I needed some extra help with my four dogs, and he stepped in and did an incredible job. All my dogs adored him, and he went above and beyond by walking them multiple times a day and giving them so much love and attention. It’s clear Damian has a natural way with animals—they were all so happy and well cared for in his hands. His reliability, kindness, and dedication really stood out, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his help. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future. Highly recommended!

About: Hi there, I’ve looked after animals since a young age. I am familiar with basic commands and I have several years of experience house sitting and dog walking. I understand the importance of safety, and I always take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the animals in my care. All pets I care for get plenty of fuss of course and enough daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I would love to dedicate more of my time caring for pets around my everyday routine. I currently work part time so have plenty of free time. I have 4 cats and have grown up around pets all my life. Happy to travel all around colchester Will keep all dogs on a lead at all times. No animal will go unsupervised at any time. I can’t offer home boarding unfortunately at the moment

Philip has owned dogs for as long as I’ve known him, up until recent years when his beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier passed on at the ripe age of 17. He is experienced with Labradors, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Staffies and French Bulldogs, amongst other breeds! He loves a good country walk (sometimes spotted in a pub en route), and dog cuddles on the sofa.

Deimantas is absolutely amazing with animals! He has a natural connection with them, and my partner’s pets adored him. In the past, he stayed at my place to look after them, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in his care. He’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals’ well-being. I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Izzy is very responsible herself and when it comes to the care of animals. She has a genuine love for dogs, every journey takes longer as she stops to say hello to them. Along side voluntary dog walking, She has a family dog of her own who she cares for when visiting and does a naturally great job.

We have know Debbie and her husband Shane for many years now and know them very well. During this time they have always had dogs as their family pet and they currently have a lovely Cockapoo named Dougal.Dougal is a very well trained ,obedient and happy dog who regularly visits us with Debbie and Shane. He is very well looked after both physically and emotionally and they are very aware of his safety and wellbeing all round. They clearly love him to bits and I know this would extend to any other animal in their care either in the short or longer term.

Lilia is a gem! She took brilliant care of our senior dog with special attentiveness on an evening with fireworks. The updates, photos and videos were so nice to see receive. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing our pup was with the most capable dog lover- highly recommend Lilia!
