“We can’t recommend Jennifer and Aavie (the dog) enough. They looked after Dusty like she was their own. We were regularly updated with what she was up to and photos of her settled in their home. She loved staying with them, went on regular walks and activities. She was at home with them and this means we can enjoy our time away too. Thank you again.”
About: Get to know me more! 🫶 I take the time to get to know each dog as an individual. Every dog has their own personality, routine, likes and dislikes, so I’ll always follow the routine you’re used to at home wherever possible.

I also understand how difficult it can be leaving your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is having a lovely time. 🥰 For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job I want your dog to be genuinely excited to come back and see me! 🐶💕 You won’t just be booking a dog sitter you’ll be choosing someone who genuinely cares about making your dog feel safe, loved and spoiled while you’re away. 🫶 I grew up in a house full of dogs and puppies!🥹 I now work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. 🐾 Unlike someone who works away from home for hours, I’m here throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I can fit walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and toilet breaks around my working day, and I’m able to give them lots of company and attention throughout the day. Essentially, when your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home too 🐶💕 I live in a large, spacious home with a huge garden and acres of private land, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play and relax. I also have beautiful woodland just a few seconds’ walk from our home, which is perfect for lovely walks and plenty of new smells to explore! 🐾🌳 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and settled in my home, while keeping their individual routines, needs and personalities in mind. I’ll follow your instructions carefully around feeding, walks, medication, treats and bedtime routines, so your pet’s stay feels as familiar as possible.
“Javier was excellent from first contact to picking our dog up. Great communication regarding the booking and ‘happy’ videos/snaps of our dog at play with him! Would have no hesitation in recommending his services.”
“Five stars isn’t enough for Charlie and Gary! They looked after Lola, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, they were incredibly attentive, asked lots of questions at the meet and greet, and then followed Lola's care instructions. We were so grateful for the frequent photo updates, it really put our minds at ease seeing her so happy and settled while we were away. Lola had a blast on all her lovely walks, and the best part was seeing her bond with their dog, Jenny. By the time we picked her up, they were buddies! It’s such a relief to find sitters who truly treat your pup like family (and let's her snuggle on the sofa!) We would recommend Charlie and Gary in a heartbeat and will definitely be booking with them again in the future. Thanks again, guys!”
“We knew the boys were in good hands when at the meet and greet Mowgli found a box of new dog toys to play with. The boys have been so well looked after and enjoyed their chasing round the garden.”
“Benjy stayed with Sheila over Xmas, while we were away, he had a great time was very spoilt by Sheila, who kindly kept us updated with videos and pics of Benjy. I found Shelia so very accommodating with drop of times etc. Will defo use Sheila again - thank u! Xxx”
“Sammy was Ultra reliable Ultra responsive and a lifesaver frankly. It was a proper last-minute.com because I completely forgot before my holiday to board my dog in an organised way. Thankfully Sammy came to the rescue. Highly recommended. James.”
About: I've had dogs since I was 16 years old. My Mum first got a yorkshire terrier at this age! I've just lost my Collie x Dalmatian that I had from a pup, she lived to be 17. I have looked after my families' dogs including a golden retreiver, cockapoo, yorkshire terrier, dog de bordeux, belgian mallionois, american bull mastiff and my own collie x dalmatian. I currently work part-time and have weekends free so I'll have plenty of time to look after and play wuth you fur-babies. I've just lost my dog I had for 17years who was a collie x dalmatian. I have lots of cuddle and love to give! I have a fenced garden which are 6 foot, and a three bedroom house. I have a small park up the road and I am round the corner from Hadleigh Country Park! I have two Adult children and live with them and my husband.
About: I have grown up and cared with dogs big and small for as long as I can remember. As of a couple of years ago I have owned and looked after reptile's and hamsters, dogs and cats. I currently own 6 small dogs and a chameleon whom I dedicate my time to. I have experience with elder dogs, diet requirements and medicine requirements that I am happy to apply if needed. I am currently studying but have plenty of time for furry friend visits. Happy to do daytime or evenings visits, fitting in around owners schedules. I take each owners home into consideration and assess each dog’s needs individually and how I can care for them in a safe and fun manor.
“Hi, Stanley responded very quickly to my questions and put my mind at ease that he was the right person to leave Marley with especially after our meet and greet. He sent me pictures and videos while out walking showing Marley enjoying himself. So my boy had a great stay.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a wonderful 5-year-old Cockapoo, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I also have plenty of experience with dogs within my wider family and friends and am very comfortable around different personalities and temperaments. Dogs really are like children to me (and, if I’m honest, I often prefer them to humans!). I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so I’ll always treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. That means lots of attention, affection, walks, playtime and, of course, plenty of cuddles. As a dog owner myself, I understand all the little things that matter — sticking to routines, keeping them happy and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. 🐾 I work from home, which means I’m around throughout the day to give your dog plenty of company, attention and affection. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in regular walks, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day. Having my own dog means that walks and doggy routines are already a natural part of my day. I love having four-legged company while I work, and your dog will be treated like part of the family rather than simply being looked after. 🐾 Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your dog is in safe and caring hands. I work from home, so dogs in my care will have plenty of supervision and company throughout the day. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, toilet breaks and any specific instructions you provide. I have a fenced garden for the dogs to enjoy. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs and will make sure they have a comfortable, relaxed environment with lots of affection and attention. I’ll treat your dog just as I would want someone to treat my own — like one of the family. 🐾
“Well, we certainly hit the jackpot when we asked Ria and Greg to look after Hector for the night. They are such a lovely and friendly couple and took great care of our boy, sending pics and a video. So much so that, I don’t think he was that bothered to leave when we went to pick him up 😂. Will definitely be using Ria and Greg in the future 😀”
“First of all Becky was very responsive to messsges and was extremely easy to communicate with. She was absolutely brilliant with our bulldog who struggled a little, keeping him calm and cool and keeping in touch with us. A great sitter who I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family home and we currently have 2 dogue de bordeaux’s! All of the dogs we have owned have lived with us until they passed, meaning I have experience with puppies through to seniors! As well as this, I have always had large dog breeds, the biggest being 2 Newfoundlands, so I am able to cope with many challenges our pets can throw our way. I’m a university student currently at home for the summer which makes me perfect for caring for your pets! I absolutely love getting out and about so I’d love to take your dog for a lovely new walk! I have a fenced in back garden and two loving female French Mastiffs, they’re giant teddy bears with no prior issues with other animals! If you would prefer for me to sit inside your home, I will be happy to leave my two at home as my partner will be there, do not feel like they are necessary as well! :)
“Our girls enjoyed their stay with Danielle. She was really understanding & patient with them. (And me when I messed up on my flight times) .. Would definitely recommend and will 100% book them in with Danielle again. Thank you x”
“This is the first time we have left Suki overnight. We were obviously very concerned but Sue assured us she would be fine. Sue updated us with pictures so we could see she had settled down nicely. We would certainly recommend Sue to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog.”
“Barney had such a fab time in Vīryanātha's care that I think he would happily move in permanently. I got regular updates with photos, which was lovely. This sitter is clearly very experienced with dogs and understands their needs; my senior border collie had a wonderful time with lots of play, walks and cuddles. We would definitely use him again 😊”

“My dog Shane can be a little bit nervous with new people in the house, but Emily quickly calmed him down and he has really enjoyed his time with her. Emily is the first dogsitter I've booked through Rover and I've been really impressed. Emily is polite, professional and clearly has a real interest in making sure the dogs have a good time as well as putting the owners at ease while they are out.”
“Courtney was very attentive and loving and thoughtful towards my 2 dogs, she even left 2 doggie cupcakes for me to give them as it was Paddy's 14th birthday. I would definitely recommend Courtney, I felt safe leaving them in her hands.”
About: I’m Sabrina, a Full time Funeral Director. Of course I’m a cat lover otherwise why would I be here ☺️ I cat sit for my sister & friends a lot, therefore cannot have my own. Plus I also dog sit for my parents. Therefore looking after others I get a lovely variety of cats to look after ☺️
“Anna looked after our cat Lily for a bit over 3 weeks and I can honestly say she genuinely gave the best care possible in her power for our little kitty. Any concerns we had she made sure our minds were at ease and went above and beyond in all of our requests to help make us feel the most comfortable. I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for the best care for their pet and will definitely be having Anna look after our Lily on all future holidays we will have. Thanks again Anna!”
“Rue & James were both lovely, they kept us updated throughout with messages and pictures of Thanos, which was great for our peace of minds. Thanos can be a scaredy cat, so it was so nice to see how his friendship with Rue was progressing and seeing him more relaxed with her by end of the week. I'd definitely recommend them both and I'll be booking them to look after Thanos, next time we're away.”

About: Ever since I can remember I've always been around dogs. From German shepards, rottweilers to pomeranians and sausage dogs. I enjoy learning about all their different personalities and what makes them happy I'm pretty flexible as I'm currently a stay at home mum who's children are at school most of the day. I currently look after a few dogs Tuesday to Friday 7am-5pm but can do different days a times if needed and i am happy to board anyday of the week. I have a fenced garden that the dogs can enjoy anytime of the day and have installed baby gates downstairs to prevent them escaping through the front door
About: Currently only taking short boarding requests due to my girl potentially being spayed in the near future. I’ve owned 3 dogs in my whole 28 years all of from different types of breed which had come with different challenges. As well as having experience with cat, rabbits and guinea pigs. Always willing to put the best effort mentally, physically and compassionately when it comes to my own animals so why not spread that further to those who may need a helping hand. I have experience with protection dogs and exotic cats including 14 Savannah Cats. I am currently fully flexible, available any day and any time that I am needed. I also drive so I can commute further if necessary. However, if boarding is requested they must be able to get along with other dogs. I am a home owner who knows plenty of woods, parks and walking spaces to roam. If I am providing a drop in I will ensure the home is left how I find it and that any animals needs are met even if there are any necessary special requirements.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits. Over the years, I've looked after numerous dog breeds, both large and small, and have developed a keen understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. My dedication to pet care means I’m always willing to go the extra mile to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-taken care of. Moreover, I’m not alone in this commitment. My flatmate and I work together to provide comprehensive and continuous care, ensuring that your pet is never left unattended. This team approach guarantees that your pet receives 24/7 attention and care if needed, giving you peace of mind that they are in safe hands at all times. Me and my flatmate alternate on our sittings to ensure that if needed your pet has the most care possible. Just let us know if constant 24/7 care is needed.

If caring at the pet owners home, we will care for the pet however the owner would want us to.

About: I am a reliable and experienced dog sitter / walker. I recently moved from the Channels Development in Chelmsford where I was well known with regular furbabies. I have recently moved to Billericay (July 2026) and now looking to take on more regular dogs and establish myself in my new area. I have had dogs my whole life and can care for all small breeds & ages but my speciality is with Daschunds - please note I cannot accept your puppy/dog if they are not friendly with other dogs as I have Sheldon & Dotty at home too, we offer settling in sessions to ensure compatibility prior to any bookings are agreed. We look forward to answering any questions and meeting you & your fur-baby! Previously, I volunteered for the Red Foundation caring for sick dogs / being a temporary home until they were adopted. I also received a community grant that was used to build a secure dog enclosure in Chelmsford so that our pooches had somewhere safe and free to use. We offer a home from home stay, whether that is day care or overnight - we guarantee a loving place for your dog that will be apparent upon their return from being with us. I would happily update you regularly with facetime/videos/pictures if you require that extra reassurance during your time away, as would I if I left my pet so would not mind if you wanted regular contact - I also understand if you need a break and wish to ‘check out’ until your home, either way I will agree to your terms for whilst your dog is in my care. We live in a secure detached property, with 2 fields within a few minutes walk. We also have a home alarm to ensure security at all times. I work from home so I will not be leaving your dog unattended during their stay with us.
“Shiela was fabulous as always. She had my boys for the day and was really flexible re pick up time which allowed me to enjoy my day out without worrying. My two dogs clearly really enjoy staying with her.”

Thankyou Ryan”
“Courtney took our 40kg Kangal puppy out for a nighttime stroll whilst my wife and I were out at a concert. Seems Sully must like Courtney as apparently he walked really well with his head collar!

My deep love for animals and extensive background in pet care set me apart from other pet sitters, ensuring your furry family members receive the best possible care and attention. My Pet Care Journey From a young age, I have been surrounded by animals, fostering a deep connection and understanding of their needs. I have personally cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, each with their unique requirements and personalities. My journey into professional pet sitting began almost 5 years ago when I decided to turn my lifelong passion into a fulfilling career. Expertise and Training Behavioral Understanding: Through years of experience, I have developed a keen understanding of pet behavior. I can recognize signs of stress, anxiety, or illness, allowing me to provide timely and appropriate care. Since I am home all the time, I am taking care of all of them. I have a timetable for their food, treats and if any medication is needed. Compassion and Patience: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion, patience, and a lot of love. Reliable and Trustworthy: You can count on me to be punctual, dependable, and dedicated to providing the best care for your pets. Continuous Communication: I provide regular updates, photos, and videos, so you can see how your pets are doing and feel connected even when you're away.
About: I have taken care of Tiber. He is a larger dog with lots of energy. I stayed at his house and we had our little routine. I have also taken care of Chico. He is a much older chihuahua with partial blindness and is deaf. He was a bit of a challenge however once we got used to each other, our time together was very much enjoyable. He required 1 hour - 1 hour 30 walks per day. It gave me a chance to get my steps in 😁 I work from home every day except for Thursday. I have a bike that helps me get around. My weekends are usually free except for Sunday I am able to follow instructions regarding doors and gates if needed. I will provide care and attention to your pet to make them feel joyful and safe despite your absence
About: I've always been brought up with dogs and cats being a major relationship in my life, I've looked after Chihuahuas to Staffordshire Bull Terriers. I love spending time with animals - I often prefer their presence to people! Just know that if I am lucky enough to look after your furry friends, they will have my undivided love and care! I am available day and night - your pets will be my number one priority whilst you are away, so that is one less worry whilst you're on a flight, cruise or road trip! I am currently a university student who is home over the summer period. I am fully flexible and can be booked at any time! This means that your furry friends will be my top priority as I have no other commitments. I will make sure to follow the feeding schedule (depending on the owner's preferences), make sure your pet has enough stimulation and follow the pet's individual routine. Although you're away, your pet's routine will remain the same.
About: Ever since I can remember I've always been around dogs. From German shepards, rottweilers to pomeranians and sausage dogs. I enjoy learning about all their different personalities and what makes them happy I'm pretty flexible as I'm currently a stay at home mum who's children are at school most of the day. I currently look after a few dogs Tuesday to Friday 7am-5pm but can do different days a times if needed and i am happy to board anyday of the week. I have a fenced garden that the dogs can enjoy anytime of the day and have installed baby gates downstairs to prevent them escaping through the front door

“We can’t recommend Jennifer and Aavie (the dog) enough. They looked after Dusty like she was their own. We were regularly updated with what she was up to and photos of her settled in their home. She loved staying with them, went on regular walks and activities. She was at home with them and this means we can enjoy our time away too. Thank you again.”
About: Get to know me more! 🫶 I take the time to get to know each dog as an individual. Every dog has their own personality, routine, likes and dislikes, so I’ll always follow the routine you’re used to at home wherever possible. Whether your dog wants long walks and lots of play, or prefers a quiet afternoon on the sofa getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I also understand how difficult it can be leaving your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is having a lovely time. 🥰 For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job I want your dog to be genuinely excited to come back and see me! 🐶💕 You won’t just be booking a dog sitter you’ll be choosing someone who genuinely cares about making your dog feel safe, loved and spoiled while you’re away. 🫶 I grew up in a house full of dogs and puppies!🥹 I now work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. 🐾 Unlike someone who works away from home for hours, I’m here throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I can fit walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and toilet breaks around my working day, and I’m able to give them lots of company and attention throughout the day. Essentially, when your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home too 🐶💕 I live in a large, spacious home with a huge garden and acres of private land, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play and relax. I also have beautiful woodland just a few seconds’ walk from our home, which is perfect for lovely walks and plenty of new smells to explore! 🐾🌳 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and settled in my home, while keeping their individual routines, needs and personalities in mind. I’ll follow your instructions carefully around feeding, walks, medication, treats and bedtime routines, so your pet’s stay feels as familiar as possible.

“Well, we certainly hit the jackpot when we asked Ria and Greg to look after Hector for the night. They are such a lovely and friendly couple and took great care of our boy, sending pics and a video. So much so that, I don’t think he was that bothered to leave when we went to pick him up 😂. Will definitely be using Ria and Greg in the future 😀”
“First of all Becky was very responsive to messsges and was extremely easy to communicate with. She was absolutely brilliant with our bulldog who struggled a little, keeping him calm and cool and keeping in touch with us. A great sitter who I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family home and we currently have 2 dogue de bordeaux’s! All of the dogs we have owned have lived with us until they passed, meaning I have experience with puppies through to seniors! As well as this, I have always had large dog breeds, the biggest being 2 Newfoundlands, so I am able to cope with many challenges our pets can throw our way. I’m a university student currently at home for the summer which makes me perfect for caring for your pets! I absolutely love getting out and about so I’d love to take your dog for a lovely new walk! I have a fenced in back garden and two loving female French Mastiffs, they’re giant teddy bears with no prior issues with other animals! If you would prefer for me to sit inside your home, I will be happy to leave my two at home as my partner will be there, do not feel like they are necessary as well! :)

“Barney had such a fab time in Vīryanātha's care that I think he would happily move in permanently. I got regular updates with photos, which was lovely. This sitter is clearly very experienced with dogs and understands their needs; my senior border collie had a wonderful time with lots of play, walks and cuddles. We would definitely use him again 😊”
