The care service provided by Lisa was brilliant, we got lots of photos and videos throughout Oslos 2 day stay. Oslo was taken good care off and he seemed happy. Would recommend Lisa and we will be happy to use her service again to take care of Oslo.

My dog Jessie had the best time staying with Rob and Sue. She took to them very quickly on our initial meeting. They have lots of dog toys and a pet friendly home. I felt confident and happy leaving her with them for our holiday as they were obviously affectionate and kind to her during the initial visit. Rob sent me photos and updates on what had been doing whilst we were away. They took her out in the car to meet other dogs and I think she felt right at home. She was relaxed when I picked her up, showing no signs of anxiety at all. I would say it felt like a second home for her and would be only too happy to use Rob again .

Rosy and Rich looked after our three dogs—two labradors and a springer spaniel—for just over a week while we were away. Each of our dogs has their own unique personality, and they were all cared for perfectly. We came home to happy, relaxed, and content pups 😊 Communication has been excellent from start to finish—from the initial meeting and booking process to the time the dogs spent with them. Rosy and Rich are wonderful dog sitters who I’d highly recommend and will definitely use again. Thank you both so much!

About: I am new to rover but have lots of experience with dog sitting. Apart from caring for my very own Cavapoo, Teddy, I have regularly looked after my family and friends pets too. Dogs have always been a part of my life and always had one in my home so I have a lot of experience from owning my own pets. I used to have a shar-pei and a Staffordshire bull terrier. I work from home so it enables me to give your pet all the attention they need, some company with plenty of cuddles and lots of playtime! My dog would also love a friend for the day or the night too. I love all type of breeds, big and small. To make sure your furry pet is comfortable, I am happy to meet them before hand and will ensure you are kept regularly updated with photos too. Any questions feel free to message! I currently work from home and can offer regular toilet breaks with a big enough garden available and huge greenery / fields near by so your furry pet will get enough exercise too.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised my beloved rescue dog from a 2-month-old puppy all the way to 14 years. In her final years, she became very ill, which gave me extensive, hands-on experience in specialized senior care and administering medical treatments, including oral tablets, liquid solutions, and eye drops. Throughout my life, I have also owned and cared for many cats.Beyond my own pets, family members, friends, and neighbors have regularly trusted me to sit, feed, and look after their dogs of various breeds and sizes. I am a very active person, so I am always excited for long walks and engaging playtime. I am also happy to help with essential grooming, such as brushing and safe nail trimming. Your pet will receive the highest level of responsibility, love, and dedicated care! I am currently not working, which means I have a completely flexible schedule and can dedicate all my free time to your pet. I am available at any time by prior arrangement, allowing me to provide constant attention, timely feeding, and long walks whenever your dog needs them. Safety and trust are my absolute priorities. I have plenty of space in my home and a secure, fenced garden where your dog can play safely. Since I currently do not have any pets of my own, your furry friend will receive 100% of my love, care, and undivided attention. Having raised a rescue dog for 14 years, I know exactly how to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

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. My love of animals reaches far beyond dogs. I have owned horses for over 20 years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, as well as a variety of other pets and retiles. This lifelong passion has given me a calm, knowledgeable and intuitive approach to animal care, with a deep understanding that every animal deserves kindness, respect and individual attention. 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. With homes in both Essex and Suffolk, I am able to offer trusted dog care services of House Sitting, Boarding, Dog Walking throughout both counties. 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, drops 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.

About: Hello, I’m Katie, and I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your dog, so you can have real peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own, a chocolate Labrador and a Border Terrier, so I’m very used to different personalities and needs. My Border Terrier can be anxious in unfamiliar environments, which has given me a good understanding of how to support dogs who need a bit more patience and reassurance. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, including day care and holiday stays, and I’m comfortable supporting dogs with additional needs such as medication or minor care. My days follow a calm, consistent routine that balances activity and rest. Dogs in my care are included alongside my own, with regular outdoor time, play and countryside walks suited to their energy levels. There’s always time to relax as well, so dogs can settle into a comfortable, low-stress environment. I adapt the day to suit each dog, whether they prefer to be active and social or enjoy a quieter pace. Care is provided exclusively in my home, creating a safe, calm and personalised “home-from-home” environment. Dogs will have access to both the family space as well as a dedicated annex for cosy comfort, rest and quiet time, along with about 2 acres of fully secure outdoor lawn and woodland space for safe roaming, play and exploration. For everyone’s safety, I require a meet-and-greet in advance to ensure dogs are happy in the environment and get along well with my two dogs. I’m only able to accept dogs that are friendly and well socialised, and am happy to accommodate exclusive bookings upon request. I can also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, settled and well cared for.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals including guinea pigs, budgies, dogs and even a hamster! One year ago I adopted my rescue dog from Romania, Lillah. When we first adopted her she was incredibly nervous on walks. Overtime, through kindness, patience and dedication, I slowly built her confidence with walks and socialisation- now she can't wait to get her lead on! Training ✅ Enhanced DBS ✅ Dog First Aid for: choking and bleeds I currently work part time teaching drama classes to children once a week (Fridays). I have a very flexible schedule weekdays and weekends. I am especially free during school holiday periods. For pets in my home I ensure my home is neat, tidy and any objects or toxic hazards are stored away and out of reach. At pet owners homes i will discuss with the owner what health and safety precautions they have in place.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for a few years now and had dogs all my life. Having grown up around Dobermans & Dalmatian’s, from a young age I’ve always been completely obsessed with dogs (any size!) as I’ve grown older my love for them has only grown. I had some great experience in 2024 volunteering at a dog rescue in Malaysia. For over a month my partner and I helped to care for abused, injured and neglected dogs. I learnt to administer vaccinations, how to perform hydrotherapy on injured dogs, and to help abused and anxious dogs regain trust. It was the highlight of our Asia trip! Please feel free to drop me a message, always up for a meet and great 😊 I have a flexible job which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the walks, love, and attention they need! Got experience walking dogs so can handle big or small dogs 😊 With my background and passion for dogs, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe and loved. I have grown up with dogs so know how to care and keep them all happy 😃 You’ll have plenty of Pupdates as well!

Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet company, I make sure each cat feels comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, calm, and detail-oriented, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in safe hands.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have many years experience caring for them. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine as I work from home which allows me to give your pet lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and long walks. I have had lots of experience caring for animals. Myself and my partner recently spent over a month at a dog & cat sanctuary in Malaysia whilst travelling where we learnt how to provide extensive care to rescued, abused, and disabled dogs/cats. We were trained in basic care/training, hydrotherapy, administering medicines including injections and also how to understand animal behaviours and care for anxious/scared animals. We enjoyed every moment of our time spent with the most precious dogs and come away having learnt so much and having even more love for dogs then we even thought was possible! I love all dogs, any size. We have a beautiful, loving Doberman named Zeus, who loves long walks, lots of cuddles and also meeting new friends whether it’s to stay, play or relax together. I am happy to offer a meet and greet session to ensure compatibility and that your dog is comfortable and happy around me. I will also provide regular updates with photos and videos of your dog/s having lots of fun. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home full time meaning I can work from anywhere and have plenty of time for walks, cuddles and playtime. I have a quiet home that has a large fully enclosed garden for the dogs to run around and are surrounded by bridle paths for enjoyable walks for your dogs. We have a long fully fenced garden for your pet to play in and they will never be left alone. I will also give you regular updates of the fun they are having whilst at our home. I am able to give them long regular walks and ensure they are happy, safe and comfortable.

About: I have years of experience looking after pets of friends, my own, and through word of mouth I have house sat for many others. I have looked after and helped train dogs of varying ages including those with challenging behaviour. I have developed a good understanding of canine behaviour in this time and I ensure every dog in my care receives the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I love all animals whether they are furry, feathered, or scaly, and I understand they all come with their own unique personalities and needs. I will ensure your pet feels safe and loved in my care. *I am also DBS cleared and have my Canine First Aid certificate, for extra peace of mind.* I work just three days a week for a couple of hours cleaning, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Outside of that, pet care is my main focus, so I’m able to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. This allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and ensure your dog feels comfortable, cared for while you’re away. I have a large, fenced in garden, with a forest that lies out back. Perfect for little or large adventures. We have one other dog that has use of the garden but does not share the same living space. I can keep the dogs separate if needed or if your pup likes company I’m sure they will love our little girl.

About: I have a 4.5-year-old miniature long-haired Dachshund, so I understand first-hand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your pet. I’ve loved dogs and cats from a young age and have always been surrounded by animals throughout my life. I’m a big animal lover and a strong advocate for animal welfare, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine as I work from home in a corporate role. This gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day, so I’m able to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and feeding schedules with ease. I can step away from my desk as needed to make sure pets are checked on, cared for, and given attention at consistent times. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m also able to provide a reassuring level of presence and reliability, rather than being tied to fixed office hours. I’m well organised with my workload, which allows me to plan visits around my schedule and be responsive to each pet’s needs. I also offer dog boarding services in my own home at your request. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets in my home. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to play, run around, and enjoy outdoor time safely. At home, I have one friendly miniature long-haired Dachshund who is very sociable and loving, and can provide company for visiting pets if suitable. However, I’m also happy to keep pets separated if preferred or if they need their own space to feel comfortable. I have a crate available if requested, along with extra dog beds, toys, bowls, and treats to make sure visiting pets feel settled and cared for. My priority is always to make each pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home, while following their usual routine as closely as possible.

About: My husband I have always loved dogs and had them in our lives since childhood. We are early retirees and able to offer outstanding care for your beloved pet/s. Our own beloved family member, Alfie, a Cocker Spaniel died in 2018 and we have since then lavished all our love on our granddog Duke, a Golden retriever, who lives in LA, whom we have helped raise since he was a puppy. We are early retirees and when not travelling, are able to offer 5 star care for your dog/s in our home, which is a good size, clean and very safe. We are both young, mid 50's and very active with access to walks around the lovely countryside in Bocking, Braintree. Having been on Rover for nearly a year and with a bit more experience, we offer a high quality service limited to just one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family. We will not mix your dogs with any other dog, at any time during the stay. We wish to provide the best care possible and for us, we realise it's best if we concentrate on a single dog, or a pair of dogs, from the same family to maximise, safety, care and attention on your beloved pet/s. We are recently retired and therefore able to prove maximum time and attention to any Dog that stays in our home with us. We are also able to visit your home for walks or drop-ins. We have a fenced in garden, which is dog friendly and safe. We have a spacious home, very safe and clean and a perfect loving environment for your pet. We live very close to the Fennes, giving us the best walks in Essex, perfect for us to exercise ourselves and your pet. We are both mature and responsible adults with lots of time on our hands. We are only looking to look after a maximum of one dog, or two dogs from the same home, at any one time, as we are looking to provide high quality and maximum attention to a small number of dogs, so we can enjoy the experience of having dogs, rather than providing care for financial reward alone.

About: Hello, I’m Katie, and I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your dog, so you can have real peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own, a chocolate Labrador and a Border Terrier, so I’m very used to different personalities and needs. My Border Terrier can be anxious in unfamiliar environments, which has given me a good understanding of how to support dogs who need a bit more patience and reassurance. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, including day care and holiday stays, and I’m comfortable supporting dogs with additional needs such as medication or minor care. My days follow a calm, consistent routine that balances activity and rest. Dogs in my care are included alongside my own, with regular outdoor time, play and countryside walks suited to their energy levels. There’s always time to relax as well, so dogs can settle into a comfortable, low-stress environment. I adapt the day to suit each dog, whether they prefer to be active and social or enjoy a quieter pace. Care is provided exclusively in my home, creating a safe, calm and personalised “home-from-home” environment. Dogs will have access to both the family space as well as a dedicated annex for cosy comfort, rest and quiet time, along with about 2 acres of fully secure outdoor lawn and woodland space for safe roaming, play and exploration. For everyone’s safety, I require a meet-and-greet in advance to ensure dogs are happy in the environment and get along well with my two dogs. I’m only able to accept dogs that are friendly and well socialised, and am happy to accommodate exclusive bookings upon request. I can also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, settled and well cared for.

I needed a dog sitter for Kai at very short notice and was very nervous as I’ve not had to leave my dog with a sitter before. ZsuzsAnna’s was extremely friendly and so accommodating with meeting with us last minute! She was extremely lovely and supportive and Kai was instantly drawn to her and her dog Boo-Boo. Kai was very happy to be in ZsuzsAnna and Boo-Boos company and had so much fun which made me feel so relieved. I cannot thank and recommend ZsuzsAnna enough!!! She is a star!

Chelsea and Rico were amazing to Cotton. She was visibly so happy on her time there. Long walks definitely made her happy. She has been so calm since I picked her up. Thank you for the patience with her, she is just a puppy and Rico has been a good influence on her for sure.

About: I own and run Molly’s Dachshund Club: specialist home-from-home day care and overnight boarding, exclusively for dachshunds. This is not generic dog boarding, it is breed-specific care designed around the unique needs, quirks and wellbeing of miniature and standard sausage dogs. We are fully licensed, fully insured, trained in canine first aid, and operate to professional standards with documented care procedures, emergency protocols and welfare-focused policies in place, so you can feel confident your dog is in safe, capable hands. I run Molly Walks Club, a free dachshund walking community, and host The Dachshund Clinic podcast, where I share insights around dachshund health, behaviour and wellbeing. My background in behavioural training means I understand how to work with nervous, excitable, stubborn, sensitive and strong-willed dachshunds in a calm, confident and supportive way. Because I run my businesses from home, your dog is never left in a busy kennel environment or with minimal supervision. They enjoy constant companionship, structured care and a calm, cosy home environment designed with dachshunds in mind, including ramps for little legs, quiet rest spaces and plenty of comfort. Our resident dachshund, Molly, is the self-appointed CEO of the household and an excellent hostess. She is incredibly social and particularly brilliant at helping nervous or unsure dogs settle in, often gently guiding them into the pack and helping them feel safe. Every stay includes tailored countryside walks designed for dachshunds. We focus on safe exploration, enrichment, confidence building and appropriate exercise rather than exhausting long-distance walks. Quiet woodland trails, countryside routes and plenty of sniffing opportunities are all part of the experience. Animals have always been part of my life, with over thirty years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I volunteered at a veterinary practice when I was young for six years, giving me additional practical grounding in animal care and welfare. For dachshunds with IVDD or additional support needs, I also offer respite care where appropriate. If your dog needs extra care, just let me know so we can make sure the right support is in place. Safe care. Specialist understanding. Happy dachshunds. Peace of mind for owners. 🐾 Key Business Details 4-Star Council Licensed Home Boarding & Day Care Fully Insured Canine First Aid Qualified I work from home and my own dachshund, Molly, is the centre of my world. My day is already structured around her needs, so caring for other daxies simply becomes part of that same rhythm. Mornings usually start with breakfast and a 30-min walk where the little legs can explore, sniff and move at a relaxed pace. The rest of the day is a mix of companionship, playtime, enrichment, naps and garden breaks, with the dogs always nearby while I work. Because I am home throughout the day, the dogs are never left alone and get plenty of attention, reassurance and supervision. The routine is calm and predictable, which dachshunds tend to respond to really well. Late afternoons and evenings are relaxed with a longer walk, usually at a woodlands, and garden time, followed by cosy downtime in the house. It is very much a home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family rather than being kept in a kennel style setting. Dogs staying with me are cared for as part of the household. They stay inside the home with plenty of cosy spaces to rest, relax and feel safe, and I keep the number of dogs small so everyone gets proper attention and supervision. Because I work from home, the dogs are not left alone and are always nearby throughout the day. I pay close attention to each dog's temperament, energy level and comfort so they settle in at their own pace. Some dachshunds are confident straight away, while others need a little more time, and that is completely fine. My own dachshund Molly plays a big role in helping visiting dogs feel comfortable. She is very social and particularly good with nervous dogs, often helping them settle into the pack naturally. Walks are done in quiet woodland or countryside areas where the environment is calm and safe for dachshunds. I always prioritise slow paced walks suitable for little legs and make sure dogs are secure and supervised at all times. We will work up to off-lead walks, and I will keep your babies on-lead until we are both comfortable with being off-lead. Once they are off lead, they naturally move in a pack, which means that they stick together. Molly's recall is great, so if I need them back close to me, they will all come together. Having grown up with animals and spent time volunteering in a veterinary clinic when I was younger, I am also comfortable recognising when a dog may be stressed, uncomfortable or unwell. I have a good understanding of basic dog first aid and always prioritise the wellbeing, safety and happiness of every dog in my care.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised my beloved rescue dog from a 2-month-old puppy all the way to 14 years. In her final years, she became very ill, which gave me extensive, hands-on experience in specialized senior care and administering medical treatments, including oral tablets, liquid solutions, and eye drops. Throughout my life, I have also owned and cared for many cats.Beyond my own pets, family members, friends, and neighbors have regularly trusted me to sit, feed, and look after their dogs of various breeds and sizes. I am a very active person, so I am always excited for long walks and engaging playtime. I am also happy to help with essential grooming, such as brushing and safe nail trimming. Your pet will receive the highest level of responsibility, love, and dedicated care! I am currently not working, which means I have a completely flexible schedule and can dedicate all my free time to your pet. I am available at any time by prior arrangement, allowing me to provide constant attention, timely feeding, and long walks whenever your dog needs them. Safety and trust are my absolute priorities. I have plenty of space in my home and a secure, fenced garden where your dog can play safely. Since I currently do not have any pets of my own, your furry friend will receive 100% of my love, care, and undivided attention. Having raised a rescue dog for 14 years, I know exactly how to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

About: Ever since I was little, I've always loved pets. I've spent many hours and days looking after our friends dogs and cats - including house sitting, walks, daycare and check-ins. I would love a dog of my own in the future once more settled, but in the meantime, I would love the opportunity to care for others dogs and cats. If interested, I'm a semi-professional cyclist (and part-time marketer). I'm currently off training (cycling) for a month or two, and will be coming back into training very slowly, so have a lot more free time. I'm working part-time at home most days, with the odd Wednesday working from the office in London, allowing me to move around the local area looking after your pet(s) or having your pet(s) come to stay. Relatively relaxed and free, but there may be a few days or weekends I won't be able to do. I have a very large downstairs space which is neat, tidy with very little clutter, with a great playing field (and crop fields) behind the houses where lots of dog owners walk their dogs.

We have used Rebeccas service twice now and she is fantastic, she took great care of both my dogs and they returned home very happy and tired after a long day of cuddles and playing. Rebecca took them for 2 long walks and sent pictures of them out enjoying the fields and woods with her dog. On both occasions I received lots of photos of my dogs so I was aware they were happy and safe. We will definitely use Rebeccas service again!

About: I have had pets my entire life and dogs since I was 14. I have just returned home from working abroad fro the past 10 years with my little whippet. She is now 11 years old and have come home to the beautiful Essex country because i miss it. I work from home and absolutely love going for long walks with her everyday. I often take other dogs when people need and dogsit regularly. Whilst I don't have a garden, I have an entire cricket pitch on my door step for regular outdoor breaks and then beyond that footpaths and fields galore. I have doggy rucksacks for the smaller and older pups but for those who enjoy the longest walkies let me know and me and my whippet will happily go out for 2-3 hours from time to time. I get up and walk for 30-60 minutes about 7 am, then throughout the day whilst i am working i take regular breaks out in the garden which backs into the horses. Then between 4:30 and 7 will go out for another walk and evening miander after pups dinner before settling down for some Tv and snuggles on the sofa and bed. I live on a large 2000 acre farm so there are abundant walkies and no other dogs to contend with which is good because I can let the pups just enjoy themselves! There are horses and cows and livestock so please let me know if your dog is reactive- I have one 11 year old Whippet who loves cuddles and play time and all the sniffs over the fields. She also loves sleeping on the bed, but will usually stay in her bed until 5am and then get in for a couple of hours before breakfast and walks. I also have a crazy 10 month old daxie who loves to play, to note he is currently not spayed so we cannot accept aggressive unneutered males however we host regulars who are unsure red and they love each other.

About: I have years of experience looking after pets of friends, my own, and through word of mouth I have house sat for many others. I have looked after and helped train dogs of varying ages including those with challenging behaviour. I have developed a good understanding of canine behaviour in this time and I ensure every dog in my care receives the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I love all animals whether they are furry, feathered, or scaly, and I understand they all come with their own unique personalities and needs. I will ensure your pet feels safe and loved in my care. *I am also DBS cleared and have my Canine First Aid certificate, for extra peace of mind.* I work just three days a week for a couple of hours cleaning, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Outside of that, pet care is my main focus, so I’m able to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. This allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and ensure your dog feels comfortable, cared for while you’re away. I have a large, fenced in garden, with a forest that lies out back. Perfect for little or large adventures. We have one other dog that has use of the garden but does not share the same living space. I can keep the dogs separate if needed or if your pup likes company I’m sure they will love our little girl.

About: Hi, I'm Zy! (If you said my name right, it should rhyme with 'hi') I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with multiple dogs, including large and giant breeds, so I’m confident handling everything from energetic pups to calmer, more sensitive dogs. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family—from small Maltipoos and Staffies to Spaniels and Retrievers—providing walks, daycare, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and personalities. My approach is calm, patient, and attentive. I focus on building trust, reading behaviour, and creating a safe, relaxed environment. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or slower strolls and quiet companionship, I’ll tailor their care to suit them (snuggles on the sofa are always welcome!) I don’t currently have any pets, which means your dog/s will have my full attention in a calm, one-on-one setting. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and will always keep you updated for peace of mind. I am currently working part-time which means I have free days to spend playing with your pets, taking them for walks, snuggles and generally having a great time together. I'm typically available midweek onwards for daycare, walks, and boarding, with my calendar being regularly updated. Currently, I am limiting to 1 pet (from one family) at a time (if you have multiple pets from the same family I am open to caring for them at the same time), meaning your pet/s will have my undivided attention. I have a fully fenced farmland garden that can be fully seen from the living space. Open plan kitchen/living room so your fur baby (whether the purr or bark) will have more than enough room to roam around and play. I have access to a play pen too should you feel your pet would prefer this/ be more suitable. I have spare to be able to easily set up a crate if your pet needs this too. For walks while boarding, I'm very closely located to quiet public trails/ footpaths/ fields to allow for calm, regular walks - perfect for shy or slightly unpredictable doggies. For dog walking - I'm physically fit, attend the gym regularly, and have experience in walking my families giant dog (a Caucasian mountain dog - very large, very strong). Duration of walks required is open for discussion to best suit your dog :)

About: Ever since I was little, I've always loved pets. I've spent many hours and days looking after our friends dogs and cats - including house sitting, walks, daycare and check-ins. I would love a dog of my own in the future once more settled, but in the meantime, I would love the opportunity to care for others dogs and cats. If interested, I'm a semi-professional cyclist (and part-time marketer). I'm currently off training (cycling) for a month or two, and will be coming back into training very slowly, so have a lot more free time. I'm working part-time at home most days, with the odd Wednesday working from the office in London, allowing me to move around the local area looking after your pet(s) or having your pet(s) come to stay. Relatively relaxed and free, but there may be a few days or weekends I won't be able to do. I have a very large downstairs space which is neat, tidy with very little clutter, with a great playing field (and crop fields) behind the houses where lots of dog owners walk their dogs.

About: I've had all sorts of pets since I was a small child and looked after my family dog until I moved out of home. I regularly looked after my sister reactive chow chow and worked with him on lead training and basic commands to correct his aggressive and possessive behaviour I work part time. I clean on Monday, and work in a salon Thursday and Friday but I'm never out the house for more than four hours. I do occasionally do nail clients from home as well. Our weekends involve going on walks and seeing friends. I have a fenced in garden and plenty of walks and dog fields around to give your dog varied exercise. I keep dogs out of our room but they have free range of the lounge and kitchen. Happy to create your dog if that makes you comfortable

About: I am brought up on a kennel where my mum raised working German shepherds, so I have been surrounded by puppies and lively dogs all my life. As you can imagine, there have been plenty of dog walks with a range of personalities! I myself have two Russian bolonki, small balls of fur full of love and an old gentleman tomcat. I have had cats all my life, plus rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and chickens to name a few! Whatever pet you have, I will love to look after it. I’m currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time at my disposal and can work around any needs or preferences of visiting or walking times. I love animals and will always make sure they are happy and content. I have plenty of experience of walking difficult and large dogs and can adjust activities to your pet's need.

About: Hi I'm Jess! I live in a nice house with a garden. Me and my partner jack have been walking and sitting dogs for about 4 years. We love dogs and have our own little Dina. We enjoy a good walk in the morning and afternoon. Any doggy residents would have access to our walled garden whenever they like to also chill out or to play with us. Whether your dog would like space to nap on their own or would just to be my shadow and sit with me that's all fine as well. We are genuine, friendly and honest and would just like your dog to have a safe and fun time with us. I like to get out and about and your dog will be out for walks with us and our dog Dina who loves to play fetch with her frisbee. I have a fenced garden which they will have access to when ever they need. They are welcome on the sofa and up stairs. Happy to have crates as well.

About: My family and I have had and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I love all animals and want to make sure they are happy and safe at all times. I was raised with police dogs and now have two little ones of my own, Bonnie and Chester. We couldn't imagine our home without them, they are part of the family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and we are happy to accommodate whatever you dog needs. I am available at all times, including weekends or holidays for whatever service you require. We can host multiple dogs in our house at the same time and deliver whatever needs and expectations you have for your pet. At our home we have a fenced garden and lots of places to roam within the house. Pets are allowed on the furniture and beds. I want them to feel as if they were at home. I have two Yorkshire terriers, Bonnie and Chester. Chester loves other dogs and wants to be friends with everyone, Bonnie is more reserved and can be quite nervous at times but adapts quickly. I am easily able to keep all dogs separate if requested. In our house we are always playing or having cuddles with our dogs, we love taking them for long walks and giving them the exercise they need.

About: I have had pets my entire life and dogs since I was 14. I have just returned home from working abroad fro the past 10 years with my little whippet. She is now 11 years old and have come home to the beautiful Essex country because i miss it. I work from home and absolutely love going for long walks with her everyday. I often take other dogs when people need and dogsit regularly. Whilst I don't have a garden, I have an entire cricket pitch on my door step for regular outdoor breaks and then beyond that footpaths and fields galore. I have doggy rucksacks for the smaller and older pups but for those who enjoy the longest walkies let me know and me and my whippet will happily go out for 2-3 hours from time to time. I get up and walk for 30-60 minutes about 7 am, then throughout the day whilst i am working i take regular breaks out in the garden which backs into the horses. Then between 4:30 and 7 will go out for another walk and evening miander after pups dinner before settling down for some Tv and snuggles on the sofa and bed. I live on a large 2000 acre farm so there are abundant walkies and no other dogs to contend with which is good because I can let the pups just enjoy themselves! There are horses and cows and livestock so please let me know if your dog is reactive- I have one 11 year old Whippet who loves cuddles and play time and all the sniffs over the fields. She also loves sleeping on the bed, but will usually stay in her bed until 5am and then get in for a couple of hours before breakfast and walks. I also have a crazy 10 month old daxie who loves to play, to note he is currently not spayed so we cannot accept aggressive unneutered males however we host regulars who are unsure red and they love each other.

Sonny was all tail wags after his walk with Sarah! She was prompt, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Sonny took to her immediately and couldn’t wait to head out again—which says everything. It’s such a comfort knowing he’s in caring, capable hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again.

My dog Jessie had the best time staying with Rob and Sue. She took to them very quickly on our initial meeting. They have lots of dog toys and a pet friendly home. I felt confident and happy leaving her with them for our holiday as they were obviously affectionate and kind to her during the initial visit. Rob sent me photos and updates on what had been doing whilst we were away. They took her out in the car to meet other dogs and I think she felt right at home. She was relaxed when I picked her up, showing no signs of anxiety at all. I would say it felt like a second home for her and would be only too happy to use Rob again .

Rosy and Rich looked after our three dogs—two labradors and a springer spaniel—for just over a week while we were away. Each of our dogs has their own unique personality, and they were all cared for perfectly. We came home to happy, relaxed, and content pups 😊 Communication has been excellent from start to finish—from the initial meeting and booking process to the time the dogs spent with them.

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. My love of animals reaches far beyond dogs. I have owned horses for over 20 years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, as well as a variety of other pets and retiles. This lifelong passion has given me a calm, knowledgeable and intuitive approach to animal care, with a deep understanding that every animal deserves kindness, respect and individual attention. 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. With homes in both Essex and Suffolk, I am able to offer trusted dog care services of House Sitting, Boarding, Dog Walking throughout both counties. 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, drops 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.

About: Hello, I’m Katie, and I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your dog, so you can have real peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own, a chocolate Labrador and a Border Terrier, so I’m very used to different personalities and needs. My Border Terrier can be anxious in unfamiliar environments, which has given me a good understanding of how to support dogs who need a bit more patience and reassurance. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, including day care and holiday stays, and I’m comfortable supporting dogs with additional needs such as medication or minor care. My days follow a calm, consistent routine that balances activity and rest. Dogs in my care are included alongside my own, with regular outdoor time, play and countryside walks suited to their energy levels. There’s always time to relax as well, so dogs can settle into a comfortable, low-stress environment. I adapt the day to suit each dog, whether they prefer to be active and social or enjoy a quieter pace. Care is provided exclusively in my home, creating a safe, calm and personalised “home-from-home” environment. Dogs will have access to both the family space as well as a dedicated annex for cosy comfort, rest and quiet time, along with about 2 acres of fully secure outdoor lawn and woodland space for safe roaming, play and exploration. For everyone’s safety, I require a meet-and-greet in advance to ensure dogs are happy in the environment and get along well with my two dogs. I’m only able to accept dogs that are friendly and well socialised, and am happy to accommodate exclusive bookings upon request. I can also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, settled and well cared for.

About: I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special requirements so they receive the care they're used to at home. Whether I'm looking after your dog in my home or yours, I'll stick to their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any training or house rules you've set. I live close to a lovely country park, so your dog can enjoy safe, enjoyable walks with plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and exercise. At home, they'll have lots of attention, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for while you're away. I have had all sort of animals from a young age, from cats & dogs, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs and horses!! My previous dog was a black Labrador who suffered with severe arthritis and was blind needing eye-drops and oral medication multiple times a day, so I would also be able to do this for your pet if needed. I currently work Mon-Fri, 9-4 but am usually able to work from home so can supervise during the day. Walking in mornings, afternoons and evenings, and most weekends. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any house rules. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and regular toilet breaks. With a country park nearby, dogs can enjoy safe, enriching walks and exercise while always being kept under close supervision. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for added peace of mind.

About: Hi, My name is Laura. I'm an animal lover and I've always had pets ever since I was little. I've had rescued dogs, birds, turtles, hamsters, rabbits and I currently have 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a puppy and tropical fish. I provide home visits and I will make sure your pet is my number 1 priority and will treat them like I treat my own. I'm able to feed them, brush them, play with them and send you daily pictures and updates for your peace of mind. I can also water your plants if needed. I also provide a home boarding for small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Lastly, I offer dog walking in Brantree. I live near a big park (Blackwater) so it's ideal for walks or I can walk around your area too. I have worked in an animal rescue in Spain, walking, feeding dogs and cleaning their enclosures and I have also fostered cats and dogs. I've also looked after my friends' pets while they are away, so I have lots of experience. I'm a full time mum of a 7 and a nearly 2 year old who adore animals. I'm at home most of the time. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you, Laura I am a full time mum so I have plenty of time to look after your furry friend. When I do home visits I can feed other animals too and watter your plants, bring in your mail, etc. I live in a spacious 4 bedroom house with a very big fenced and secure garden. I live close to a very nice and big park so it's ideal for doggy walks.

Alex was great with Archie and he certainly felt at home! I was kept up to date with messages and photos and Archie was very happy when I collected him. Would definitely recommend
