Personalised care for your dog or cat - Maldon

“Alison's poodle, Bella, is the most chilled dog ever and she got on well with Moray, our young Jack Russell. Moray loved Alison from the start and he went on some really good walks and got lots of cuddles. I couldn't be happier to leave Moray with Alison again.”

“Joanne has been an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She is kind, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was so well looked after and felt completely at home with her lovely family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such a warm and loving environment. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

I'll also send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in caring hands ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding and toilet breaks will all fit around your dog's normal routine. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages ❤️ Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, loving home where they'll be treated like part of the family. I have a secure fenced garden for safe outdoor play and a friendly, well-socialised sprocker spaniel who enjoys the company of other dogs.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! At home, I’m proud pet parent to two mischievous cats, Bobby & Milo, and one fun-loving dog, Rolo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless cuddles, playtime adventures, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and always treat every pet as if they were my own. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, ensuring your beloved companions are in safe and professional hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of wagging tails and purring cats! 🐶🐱 I’d love to meet you and your furry family, so please feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! Pet care is a huge part of my daily life. As the owner of two cats, Bobby & Milo, and a dog, Rolo, caring for animals is already built into my routine every single day. From feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and cuddles to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, I’m very experienced in managing the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I structure my schedule around providing reliable, consistent care, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. Whether it’s morning walks, daytime visits or evening feeds I enjoy incorporating pet care into my week and genuinely love spending time with animals. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s something I’m passionate about. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I always provide care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, cleaning litter trays, and, of course, plenty of affection and companionship. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel relaxed while their owners are away. For dog walking services, I ensure dogs receive safe, enjoyable walks suited to their age, energy level, and requirements. Whether they enjoy a brisk adventure or a gentle stroll, their wellbeing and safety are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I am also fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, offering an additional level of reassurance that your beloved pets are in safe and professional hands.

“Alison looked after our puppy Luna for the day and overnight, Luna was very well looked after, cared for and given lots of attention and affection. Alison was great at understanding Luna’s needs and communicating with and also sent pictures and videos of Luna so we could see how she was getting on throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much 😊”

About: My boyfriend and I are huge dog lovers and would absolutely love to have a dog of our own one day, but we’re holding off for another year (we also love our holidays!). In the meantime, we love opening our home to four-legged guests! We regularly look after his brother’s dog and my parents’ dog (both pictured) - who we used to live with before we moved in together. so we’re very used to different personalities, routines, and plenty of cuddles. Your pup will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, playtime, walks and a comfortable home environment while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet them! I regularly work from home so your dog will have all-day company. I’ll take them on a morning (8am) & afternoon (5pm) lead walk. Please note i’m not comfortable letting dogs off the lead until I’ve known them for a considerable amount of time and trust their recall. We have a good sized garden, in the summer I’m happy to leave the patio doors open so they can come and go as they please whilst I work upstairs. Dogs are welcome and even encouraged on the furniture. My boyfriend would prefer for dogs to sleep down by the side of the bed, but I cave to puppy eyes easily 🤭 We have a fenced and locked garden. We are tidy couple so rest assured there won’t be anything left out for your dog to chew/choke on. We can crate your dog if you prefer. However if I were to nip out I’d be happy to leave them in the down stairs front room and kitchen area as it’s hard floor (opposed to carpet upstairs). Our house is very quiet other than the occasional doorbell ring from a deliver driver.

“Joanna is so lovely and attentive and I could not be happier to have found her on Rover. My dog Blue was so well looked after and Joanna provided many lovely updates throughout his stay giving us peace of mind. Great at communicating. We will definitely be booking her again for our dog in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so caring for them has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends and treat every dog that stays with us as if they were my own. Most recently, we looked after my sister’s dog, Bailey, for a week while she was away. Bailey settled in really well and had a great time with us, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care I work from home so plenty of love to give, lots of walks & cuddles. I have a cockapoo too who loves other dogs and would love the company. We have a fenced garden totally safe and big to run around, plus a very loving home that they are free to roam wherever they would like.

About: As a dedicated dog owner to two high maintence dogs myself, I understand how important routine, patience and affection are in helping dogs feel safe and settled. Alongside caring for my own two Chow Chow’s Winnie and Bertie, I’ve looked after friends’ chow chows and a variety of other breeds while they’ve been on holiday, giving me plenty of hands‑on experience with different temperaments, ages and needs. Whether I’m supporting a playful pup or a more sensitive dog, I always tailor my approach to their individual personality, ensuring they feel loved, secure and part of the family. My two chows are very friendly and love to make new friends and welcome them into their home. My female Chow has various health issues, so I am very experienced in giving medication and following instructions and promise to love and care for your dog like they’re my own! I have a Smoke free / clean home and there’s plenty of space. I can bath your dog for you on request, I have lots of experience in home grooming due to having two very fury chows! And have a professional blaster for drying. Your dog/ dogs must be ok and friendly with other dogs to stay in our home. Meeting your dog beforehand is a must before they board or come to doggy day care with us to make sure they are ok with my dogs and to understand their needs properly. I mostly work from home, giving me plenty of time to focus on your dog’s needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for consistent, flexible care. I have a secure fully fenced garden and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, and can easily crate your dog if needed. My dogs are treated like family, and yours will be too!

About: I've been around dogs since I was a child. We've always had family dogs that I've looked after when family have been away. I've also dog sat a whole range of breeds for friends. I work full-time Monday to Friday. I also work some weekends which means I then get days in lieu in the week to look after furry friends. Evenings are relatively free most days. My flat is surrounded by so much green space and it's a really quiet area. I have a spacious living room and bedroom with plenty of room for dogs to feel comfortable and have space.

“Poppy was so happy to stay with Shane, I felt she was well looked after and had a lovely time. I had great updates from Shane and would not hesitate to book him again. Thank.you”

I have experience with both high-energy pups who love long walks and older pets who need a gentler approach. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and temperaments and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority. I’ll make sure they feel loved, entertained, and cared for while you're away! Im currently self employed therefore I am available whenever your pets need taking care of. I can do anytime weekends or weekdays. Please feel free to contact me any time I am very versatile in what you would want be to do as I understand everybody has there own certain way of how they care for their animals.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.

About: I have grown up in a home caring for many animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and more. I have recently relocated from Surrey and have availability to take on new clients. I previously volunteered at a dog rescue in Portugal. I loved my time there! The experience has made me comfortable around dogs of all sizes, abilities, and temperaments. I am currently working privately as a carer. My hours are casual so I am very flexible with my availability and can be available at short notice. I would prefer to look after pets in their own home. I can stay with them all day or I can do regular check ups.

“Justine was absolutely brilliant with our dogs, she is extremely caring and thoughtful and kept us up to date on our dogs stay and what they were doing daily, Justine is also extremely experienced in training dogs and caring for them. Justine also provided us with some training and behavioural help during and after our dogs stay which has helped immensely. I would not want my dogs to go to a better home from home and will definately be booking again !!”

About: I’ve been around and caring for cats since I was young and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I’m confident caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including older cats who may need a little more patience, attention and a quieter approach. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, clean litter trays, give medication where required, provide play and enrichment, and of course give affection on their terms. I know some cats can take time to feel comfortable with someone new, so I never force interaction. I let them come to me and make sure they feel safe and settled in their own home. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your cat is being properly cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of many cats in catterys and in their own homes! I have hands on experience caring for cats including, cleaning, feeding and overall wellbeing and happiness.

About: I’ve always lived with dogs. My husband and I currently share our home with two golden retrievers, both girls, one is 15 1/2 years old and the other is 8 1/2 years old. We’ve had both girls from puppies and have loved training them and sharing our lives with them. We live in a small village with the river Crouch and farmland walks on our doorstep. I’m a part time teacher but looking to retire next year so I have lots of time and love to offer any dogs who need a holiday hone As I have 2 dogs, I already have daily doggy routines in place. My dogs have access to the enclosed garden all day and enjoy our daily walks around various fields or along the seawall. Tide dependent, they also love swimming in the river. Although I work part time at school, my husband works from home so there’s usually at least one of us at home. We have a large, enclosed garden which our dogs love exploring/ sunbathing in! I would care for your pets in just the same way that I’ve always cared for my own pets. Daily walks, play and cuddles are paramount.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have been caring for them my whole life, from puppies right through to senior dogs.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I’ve been 7. I have good pet intuition and can often understand the wants and needs of animals. I am trained in dog first aid and can drive so able to rush to a vet if required. I am at home all the time so your pets will never be alone while staying with me. I will keep to the same schedule and routine, so your pets do not experience disruption. No one else will have contact with your pet while they are in my care. Pets will be supervised at times, and I have a fenced garden. Walks will talk place on lead unless you advise otherwise.

About: I'm an experienced dog owner and now really enjoy looking after dogs which I've been doing for friends and family for many years and now looking to do it more regularly. I work from home so dogs will rarely be left on their own for longer than an hour at a time. I work for myself at home so I can be very flexible to your dog's needs and will be happy to stick to your dog's routines. I have a large fenced garden laid mostly to lawn and access to lovely off road dog walks close by for as many walks as needed.

Nikki H.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, ages and personalities. In the last few years, for the first time in my life, I’ve found myself without a dog of my own. Although my sons’ dogs still keep me company regularly, I really miss having dogs around and would love the opportunity to spend more of my semi-retirement caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and very comfortable with everything that comes with looking after a dog, whether that’s walks, feeding, medication, companionship or simply making sure they feel relaxed and at home. Being semi-retired also means I have plenty of flexibility and can often accommodate bookings at relatively short notice. My aim is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing their dog is being looked after by someone who genuinely enjoys their company and treats them as if they were his own. I’m retired and generally available throughout the week, with occasional availability on weekends. While I can accommodate most daytime visits, evenings and overnight stays aren’t ideal as I’m married. I have a large, fully fenced garden and there are plenty of lovely dog walks nearby. That said, I prefer to care for pets in their own home or take them out for local walks near their owner’s area — it’s a great way for me to get out and about too.

“Helped out extremely last minute and provided a great daycare for our cockapoo.”

Matt F.

“Semi had fantastic day care with Lauren. Was well looked after and he felt right at home. Will definitely not hesitate to rebook :)”

About: I originally trained and worked 10 years as a qualified veterinary nurse. Where I developed an interest in dog behaviour, I then retrained to become a certified dog trainer in 2020 and have been a full time dog trainer ever since. I have a passion for gundogs and I am a Spaniel, reactivity and puppy specialist. I have a great passion for helping a dogs owners to meet their needs and resolve their behaviour struggles. I am currently in the process of completing a level 6 Diploma in canine clinical behaviour to further expand my business. Dogs in my care will all have daily obedience training sessions included. Behaviour modification programmes available at an extra cost. All breeds welcome. I am quite flexible with hours and times and happy to do weekends when I’m available. I am home most of the time as train dogs from my farm. I have boundary fences around my 10 acres of land and secure fields for off lead exercise. I have a dedicated dog room indoors and also can crate dogs if owner/dog prefers. Dogs will be with me all day and will enjoy a family environment.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for pets since I was around 10 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as pets of different ages, personalities and routines. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I always take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any individual needs. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can spend plenty of time with the animals in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow feeding and walking routines, provide lots of playtime and attention, and of course give plenty of cuddles to pets who want them! My aim is for your pet to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away and for you to be able to relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home which gives me much larger availability to care for my own animals and to give me time to care for others. I live at home with my mum so thankfully we also have someone in for my dogs/cats and I am able to do the same for someone else. I work full-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I can easily work pet care around my schedule, including regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, playtime and lots of company. This also means pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, medication, walks and household rules. I make sure their environment is secure and pay close attention to their behaviour so I can spot if anything seems unusual. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Joanne has been an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She is kind, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was so well looked after and felt completely at home with her lovely family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such a warm and loving environment. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

Whether I’m supporting a playful pup or a more sensitive dog, I always tailor my approach to their individual personality, ensuring they feel loved, secure and part of the family. My two chows are very friendly and love to make new friends and welcome them into their home. My female Chow has various health issues, so I am very experienced in giving medication and following instructions and promise to love and care for your dog like they’re my own! I have a Smoke free / clean home and there’s plenty of space. I can bath your dog for you on request, I have lots of experience in home grooming due to having two very fury chows! And have a professional blaster for drying. Your dog/ dogs must be ok and friendly with other dogs to stay in our home. Meeting your dog beforehand is a must before they board or come to doggy day care with us to make sure they are ok with my dogs and to understand their needs properly. I mostly work from home, giving me plenty of time to focus on your dog’s needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for consistent, flexible care. I have a secure fully fenced garden and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, and can easily crate your dog if needed. My dogs are treated like family, and yours will be too!

About: I've been around dogs since I was a child. We've always had family dogs that I've looked after when family have been away. I've also dog sat a whole range of breeds for friends. I work full-time Monday to Friday. I also work some weekends which means I then get days in lieu in the week to look after furry friends. Evenings are relatively free most days. My flat is surrounded by so much green space and it's a really quiet area. I have a spacious living room and bedroom with plenty of room for dogs to feel comfortable and have space.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, horses, rabbits, and even the occasional guinea pig! Whether it’s providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat every animal like my own. I have experience with both high-energy pups who love long walks and older pets who need a gentler approach. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and temperaments and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority. I’ll make sure they feel loved, entertained, and cared for while you're away! Im currently self employed therefore I am available whenever your pets need taking care of. I can do anytime weekends or weekdays. Please feel free to contact me any time I am very versatile in what you would want be to do as I understand everybody has there own certain way of how they care for their animals.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.

“Justine was absolutely brilliant with our dogs, she is extremely caring and thoughtful and kept us up to date on our dogs stay and what they were doing daily, Justine is also extremely experienced in training dogs and caring for them. Justine also provided us with some training and behavioural help during and after our dogs stay which has helped immensely. I would not want my dogs to go to a better home from home and will definately be booking again !!”
