“Thank you so much for looking after Nutmeg so well. She was very happy and healthy after her stay with you. You had very carefully not let her walk much as requested, as her leg is healing, and it is loads better, so thank you! ☺️”
“Lauren and her family care for Dill as if he is one of their own. I love how happy he is on his video adventures with Lauren and the other doggies. I feel relaxed and confident knowing Dill is being looked after with as much love and attention as I would!”
“We've left our Beagle-Jack with Alix and her lovely Beagle Toby for two weeks and I honestly believe we couldn't have found a better pet sitter and playmate!! Toby was also very accomodating with Jack and they became best friends playing every single day! Alix is really lovely, she has taken fantastic care of Jack, with gorgeous walks every day and adapted to his needs. We had regular updates and photos so I would totally recommend Alix for all pet accomodation needs and I will definitely contact her again when we go on holiday again! Superb service!”
“Rita stayed with Rocio for a long weekend and she had a blast. Rocio is very professional and caring. She loves Rita and they had lots of fun together. Thank you, Ro!!”
“Thank you Teresa for looking after Bess so well again and having her stay for her first night with you. ❤️ it was so great to have the photos come through and to know she was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“We are so incredibly grateful to Suey for how she looked after our dog. This was a very last minute booking and Suey was so gracious through the whole process. Ettore was well looked after, happy, all his needs were met and my husband and I were worried that he wouldn’t want to come home! Thank you so very much! We will most certainly ask Suey to look after Ettore again!”
“Sam had another brilliant stay with Golnar. We could tell from the updates that he was happy and settled, and very well looked after by Golnar and her husband. Lots of play and attention and Sam's next stay is already booked in. Thank you!”
“Bibiana was very prepared and experienced looking after dogs. The garden was perfect for my cocker spaniel to run around. I would have liked to have seen a picture of my pup settled in but he was only there 1 evening over night to be fair.”
“Wade and Michelle took amazing care of our very nervous and quite high maintenance dog, Cookie. They very kindly met Cookie in advance, and during the stay sent regular updates and photos of them on walks and snuggling on the sofa. They are a lovely family and we will be using them again.”
“May is a fantastic dog sitter! She’s super knowledgeable and genuinely adores dogs. She's the most reliable sitter we’ve ever had (we didn't worry for a single second while Jojo was in her care). Jojo came home as if she’d been away on a relaxing spa week! Thank you again May 😇”
“Mariana and her family did an excellent job taking care of our toy poodle mei. Mei had lots of fun especially with the dress up. She was really cared for and I would highly recommend”
“Can’t recommend Danuta and her family highly enough - they sent loads of beautiful pictures of really wonderful walks, to the point where we were worried Charlie would want to stay there! Will definitely use again, thank you very much!”
“Jess was great, very responsive and really attentive to quite the nervous dog. She went out of her way to make sure our dog was well cared for and gave us regular updates. Would definitely use her again and can't thank her and her partner enough for the care provided.”
About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.
“Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I recieved lots of photos and regular updates. He also went above and beyond to make sure Indy felt at home and had a wonderful stay, with lots of walks and pampering! I would highly recommend and will certainly be rebooking with Steven again.”
“Janet had a lovely home to take care of Lobo in. She was relaxed and friendly and Lobo who can be nervous when we leave her, was happy to be there. Janet took her plenty walks and took good care of her. Would definitely use Janet again.”
“Gemma and her dog Herbie were really lovely and I felt very relaxed to leave our dog Bonnie with them both. Communication was excellent and Gemma sent regular updates and videos/photos which was very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend and I hope Gemma is available next time we need someone to take care of Bonnie!”

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!
About: Hi! I'm a 30-year-old cat lover based in Cambridge and I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule to care for your cat. I have a cat of my own and regularly look after friends' cats while they're away. I'm experienced with feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, giving plenty of attention, and respecting each cat's unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or simply enjoys a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“We're repeat customers of Larissa's, and we will certainly be using her again. Our cat Flash loves her and has from the moment they met. Though Flash is getting on in years, Larissa always coaxes her into playing with her toys - something we can't get her to do - and also spends time cuddling with her. Larissa also goes above and beyond the call of duty: When our flight back home was delayed once, she remained on standby, waiting until she got confirmation from us that we were back. She's a conscientious, responsible, and amiable young woman. We can't recommend her highly enough.”
“We are so grateful for Emily! Our family booked a last minute vacation, and she was more than willing to come meet our two cats the day before we left. From the moment we met her, she was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such good hands. When we returned home, our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything! We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Emily, for taking such wonderful care of our kitties!”

“Rebecca is amazing! My cat had an injury and she was able to take her to the vets, administer medication and look after her, when I had to be away. I had to change the type of booking and she made it so easy. I had every day updates and pictures of my cat. I can't recommend her enough, Bella (my cat) has been so well looked after! 100% would contact her again if I have to.”
“Ben obviously adores animals and our cat Milly bonded with him straight away. When we returned home we had a calm, chilled out ragdoll who had been well cared for. Ben was very professional and had a calm, reassuring manner. I would recommend him 100%.”

Will definitely book with her again, would recommend Virag for any pet sitting or dog walking.”

“I sincerely owe so much to Larissa. I had to sadly send my older dog to heaven and wanted her to be home for the passing. The thought of having my younger dog around was not one I could fathom so I reached out for someone to take him out to the park. She gave me such peace that he was being looked after well while everything was happening at the house. My lovely boy came back home in good spirits which helped bring me comfort and peace in a tragic hour. Will definitely be booking again!”

Until September I’ll be free anytime and will be able to do evening drop ins after then! I’m careful to ensure fenced environments are safe and that the area is safe and clean for your dog! I understand that pets have varying needs and will make a checklist for all your pets specific needs so you will know what time everything has been done!
About: Hello, I'm a very responsible, energetic, and organized person! I love animals, especially dogs, and I'd be happy to help whenever you need it I can help you with any pet. I love caring for animals while the family travels, but I also work with short walks. I have references if you need them, as I've been doing this for over four years, so I have plenty of experience. I had four dogs before moving to England, and this is how I cope with missing them. I'd love to walk them, board them, feed them, or even bathe them if necessary. Your pet will be great with me, and I'll be even better with them. They'll be filled with love, affection, and attention. Please note that prices may vary depending on the size of your pet or if the stay is longer. If you have any special requests, don't hesitate to ask, and I'll always do my best to help. I look forward to hearing from you. With love Mary x I have a very flexible routine, I can give attention to your pet all day and take 2 walks since I already have this walking routine and I love visiting parks I have a good sized, fully enclosed garden. Super safe, grassy and comfortable. I can send photos upon request. but I can also take care of your pet in its own space.
About: I had a dog when I was really young for 12 years so I am very used to having them around me. I have looked after my family members 3 dogs and I have a puppy of my own. I am working part - time so I have a lot of time in the week to walk and look after your dogs. I absolutely love animals but dogs are my favourite. I will always keep your dog on a lead whenever I go for a walk and the places I will go I know very well and are safe.
About: I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of dogs and cats, which has given me confidence with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also completed two years of work experience at a vet practice, gaining hands-on knowledge of animal health and safe handling. I’m reliable, caring, and truly passionate about making pets feel safe and happy. I’m currently on my gap year working part time as a lifeguard, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets at any time in the day, seven days a week! Anima safety and comfort are always my top priority. I respect each owner’s home and follow all care instructions closely, keeping routines consistent to help pets feel secure. On walks, I’m attentive and cautious, always using safe handling practices and staying aware of my surroundings. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and happy to provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands.
About: Dogs have always been at the heart of my life and caring for them has never simply been something I do - it is who I am. For me, this is not just a service, it is a privilege. I understand that every dog is a cherished member of the family and I treat each one with the same love, patience, kindness and unwavering devotion that I gave to my own. For 13 wonderful years, I was blessed to share my life with my beautiful Cavapoo, Colby. He was my constant companion, my best friend and I will always feel incredibly honoured that he chose me every day. The bond we shared shaped the way I care for animals and reinforced my belief that every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, loved and completely at ease. Following Colby's passing, I found myself deeply missing the daily joy of giving that love and care to a dog. It is this, more than anything, that inspired me to begin this new chapter. My aim is not simply to offer dog boarding, walking and house sitting, but to provide a home-from-home experience where every dog receives genuine affection, individual attention and the highest standard of care, as though they were my own. My experience extends well beyond everyday care. During Colby's later years, he bravely lived with heart failure, requiring an extensive and carefully managed medication regime. I administered multiple medications with precision, consistency and dedication while closely monitoring his health, comfort and changing needs. This experience has given me invaluable confidence in caring for senior dogs, administering medication and supporting dogs with ongoing medical conditions, always with patience, compassion and meticulous attention to detail. When you dog is in my care, they will be treated as my own family - with warmth, gentleness and genuine affection. My promise is to provide not only a safe and reliable service, but a nurturing environment where you dog feels secure, loved and truly at home 🐶❤️ I provide full-time, dedicated care tailored entirely to your dog's individual needs and routine. Whether they enjoy long walks and playtime, gentle companionship, plenty of cuddles and love, or simply a quiet place to relax, my focus is always on ensuring they feel safe, happy and loved. I offer house sitting in your home, boarding, drop in and dog walking throughout the week, including weekends and I am committed to maintaining your dog's usual routine as closely as possible to provide comfort, consistency and complete peace of mind while you are away. Safety, trust and a calm, secure environment are at the very heart of my care. I have no other pets or children in the home, ensuring a peaceful and undisturbed setting for your dog. My property benefits from a walled, secure garden and I am fortunate to be situated in a beautiful village with a country park and woodland walks right on my doorstep, offering safe, enriching and varied outdoor experiences in nature.

Always having access to water, a safe space they feel comfortable and somewhere they can go if they need to de-stress. Their needs are crucial and important!
About: I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, giving me a wealth of experience and confidence in caring for them.

“Thank you so much for looking after Nutmeg so well. She was very happy and healthy after her stay with you. You had very carefully not let her walk much as requested, as her leg is healing, and it is loads better, so thank you! ☺️”
“Lauren and her family care for Dill as if he is one of their own. I love how happy he is on his video adventures with Lauren and the other doggies. I feel relaxed and confident knowing Dill is being looked after with as much love and attention as I would!”
“Rita stayed with Rocio for a long weekend and she had a blast. Rocio is very professional and caring. She loves Rita and they had lots of fun together. Thank you, Ro!!”
“Thank you Teresa for looking after Bess so well again and having her stay for her first night with you. ❤️ it was so great to have the photos come through and to know she was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Bibiana was very prepared and experienced looking after dogs. The garden was perfect for my cocker spaniel to run around. I would have liked to have seen a picture of my pup settled in but he was only there 1 evening over night to be fair.”
“May is a fantastic dog sitter! She’s super knowledgeable and genuinely adores dogs. She's the most reliable sitter we’ve ever had (we didn't worry for a single second while Jojo was in her care). Jojo came home as if she’d been away on a relaxing spa week! Thank you again May 😇”
“Can’t recommend Danuta and her family highly enough - they sent loads of beautiful pictures of really wonderful walks, to the point where we were worried Charlie would want to stay there! Will definitely use again, thank you very much!”
About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.
“Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I recieved lots of photos and regular updates. He also went above and beyond to make sure Indy felt at home and had a wonderful stay, with lots of walks and pampering! I would highly recommend and will certainly be rebooking with Steven again.”
“Gemma and her dog Herbie were really lovely and I felt very relaxed to leave our dog Bonnie with them both. Communication was excellent and Gemma sent regular updates and videos/photos which was very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend and I hope Gemma is available next time we need someone to take care of Bonnie!”
“This was our first time using a pet minder. It was so relaxing knowing that Echo was in kind, capable hands. We will definitely have her stay with Caroline again.”
“Chloe provided great care to our dog while we were away on holiday. Chloe provided daily photos and updates which were always well received. I would highly recommend Chloe for your dog boarding needs!”
“Jan and Bruce were exceptional boarders for our energetic sprocker! Their lifestyle suited her perfectly and she came away happy as Larry after lots of walks and lots of fusses! We will definitely use Jan and Bruce again - a perfect home-from-home for our Pippa ❤️ xx”
“Kinga looked boarded our energetic spaniel for multiple days, and her greyhound proved to be a great companion and play partner. We received multiple photos and videos a day updating us on his adventures. Our dog clearly had a great time and was sad to leave!”
“I cannot recommend Alice and Josh highly enough! They were incredibly professional, attentive, flexible and organised. When I came to pick up Olya, she was calm, happy, and clearly well-cared for. I will definitely be booking them again for my next trip. Thank you both so much!”
“Right from the meet and greet session, and throughout Willow's stay with Nova, she made us feel at ease, continuously reassuring her of Willow's wellbeing and status on food, walks, cuddles through messages and photos. She patiently took time to understand Willow's personality, preferences, medications and schedule. It was amazing to see Willow settle in so easily with Nova and her partner in just under a day. Highly recommend Nova to even nervous fur parents.”
About: Iv owned two pugs , I currently have a Frenchie and Labrador 😁 im willing to look after any doggy who needs some love while their owners are away. I’m a relaxed, caring, and reliable dog lover who treats every dog like one of my own. While you’re away, your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles in a safe, happy home. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can provide lots of supervision and company. When my partner is home, we enjoy taking the dogs on long walks, countryside adventures, and fun outings. We also love taking them in the car for new experiences! Our home is very dog-friendly, with a large secure garden where dogs can run, play, and relax. I understand that accidents can happen, and I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home during their stay.
