“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.”

“Highly recommend Ana! very professional service and eased our anxieties as this was the first we have left our cats with a sitter we did not know. Ana gave us regular updates with photos as well as following specific feeding requirements. Will 100% be using her services again!”

About: I've had my own dog and regularly look after my friends and neighbours dogs when then are away from home. Experience with rescue dogs too. I work full-time but always from home 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday so free to walk dogs after 4pm or anytime during Saturday or Sunday. My garden is very secure with 6ft fences all the way round. The road I live on is pedestrian only, no cars are allowed to drive on it.

“Great service, smooth communication. Thank you Jenna for looking after our cats during our holiday.”

About: I have grew up with a Labrador who I was mainly taking care of by myself. In recent years I have been helping my friends and family with looking after their pups. I have some experience with rescue dogs and also looking after four dogs at once. I am working from home with a fair amount of flexibility so I can look after your pup all day weekdays and weekends as well. I am living in a flat with no garden, however only 2 mins walk from a big park. My home is pet friendly as I do often look after dogs of my friends and family.

“John was fantastic! Before his visit with Willow he went out of his way to come and meet her so that she was relaxed when he came over for his visit. Very friendly and Willow had a great time with him. Got a lovely video and picture whilst he was here which we appreciated! We will use John again!”

About: Popular areas locally to me: Colchester Castle Park, Highwoods Country Park, Colchester Sports Park! Is your dog full of beans? Does your dog never tire? Does your dog need stimulation or to socialise? Do you need support with training a puppy or trying to get rid of bad habit in mature dogs? Do you need someone to play with your dog? … You have found the perfect dog with lots of love to give! I have years experience with training medium/large breed of dog - fetch with a ball, sit, stay, heel etc. Enjoy walking through parks, woodlands, seafront and beaches in ALL weathers. Experienced with running with dogs and using the running lead. Understand that transparency between myself and the owner is key to ensure the dog is happy and needs of the dog are met. Happy to support the owner if the dog/puppy is in training. Good knowledge of a range of breeds and their temperament. I am a primary school teacher. Term time - I will available weekdays (evenings) and weekends (daytime/late afternoon). School holidays - I will have more flexibility. So please message to check availability as it might be possible. I currently to not have a pet in my home. I help with walking my mum’s dog (Doberman) when needed. I can work with the owner with what best works for them and their schedule. I am happy to go into their home to collect the dog if they are out or at work. Or if they would like me to meet and greet at the door that is perfect also!

About: I’ve always had a dog for as long as I can remember. Which is pretty great for me because I love dogs, all animals and pets really! From a young age I was responsible for walking, feeding, washing and caring for him. Giving him all the attention and love he deserves. Further I have looked after family, friends and neighbours pets while they were away including dogs, cats and fish. I love it. Its always a win win I got to spend my time with gorgeous dogs and cats and they got to spend time away without any worry. I am in my second year of University at Bristol, studying Politics and Sociology. I am currently staying home in Colchester for a bit. So I have a very flexible schedule and it will give me plenty of time to be available to look after your gorgeous pets! I am a calm, patient and independent person. I know how to handle situations with pets, that might not always be ideal! I have plenty of this experience, my dog is not exactly perfect (but maybe more perfect than me).

About: I have had dogs since I was a child as since joining the army I have not been able to have any and miss my two dogs who are at home with mum a lot there names are Ella and Dottie, ella is a golden retriever and Dottie a miniature dashound. I have looked after a friends dashound for 3 years on and off if he is on exercise, he has just left the army and will miss looking after Oscar. I have also done dog boarding/ house sitting for my boss at work, her dog is a cocker spaniel called Guinness that was for 5 days. I have looked after family’s pets if have been on holiday. **!!! CHANGE OF WALK TIMES DUE TO WETHER!!** as it’s getting quite hot from 10am till 4pm I will no longer be doing these times for walks. New timings are 0555 till 0800 and 1700 till night time. It’s too hot during the day. During heat periods I’m happy to do drop ins and make sure doggies and cats have fresh cold water and are ok and make sure they have been to the toilet. Any dogs I will be looking after will get 3 walks a day one early morning at 0600, one at lunch between 1200 and 1330, a evening walk and a walk just before bedtime to make sure he/she is going to be comfortable at night. If pet is scared of fireworks or lightning please tell me, and what the plan is to happen if those events are going to happen. My dog Ellie is scared of fireworks and lightning she has to have tv on loud and lots of reassurance and thunder scarf on. As I live in a military camp I am able to do long walks on our sports field which is out of the way of any vehicles and is fenced off. I am unable to have dogs in my flat due to new rules from the army, I am able to come to yours if within 5mile radius mid week boarding, weekend boarding 10 miles+ with house sit.

“Aimee was absolutely brilliant. Couldn’t fault her at all, she was there promptly everyday and kept me updated via the app. Very friendly and I felt like she went above and beyond what was required. Very nice to know your pet is in good hands when you can’t be there. Aimee was also very flexible with times etc which was very handy. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be using her services again!”

About: Hi, I’m Veronika! I work from home as a freelance marketing professional, so I’m here full-time to look after your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I live in central Colchester with my partner, and we both adore dogs — though unfortunately, I can’t take cats due to allergies. Our home has a cosy, secure (though modest-sized) garden. I spend my days walking, enjoying nature, and staying active, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and playtime while they’re with me. Whether you’d like me to care for your dog at our home or yours, I’m happy to help and will make sure they feel right at home. I don’t have a dog of my own, but I love having dogs around and caring for them has become a part of my everyday life. I’ve been looking after dogs through Rover for over a year now, and I also spend time with Achi — my close friend’s playful corgi — whenever I can. I’m always out walking and staying active anyway, so having a dog join me just makes it even better. Feeding, walking, keeping them company — it all fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel happy and looked after. If I’m looking after your dog in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I stick to your dog’s usual schedule, keep everything clean and tidy, and make sure they feel at ease in their familiar surroundings.
