Annabel was very friendly from the start. Straight away I felt comfortable when we first met on our get together prior to our booking. Whilst looking after our girls, Annabel sent numerous photos whilst out and about and at home. I would thoroughly recommend Annabel and will definitely book her again to look after my girls

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.

It was my first time using Cathy and her adorable golden retriever Stan. We initially met to see if Lana was comfortable there. When we returned for Lana to stay, she happily walked into Cathy’s driveway. Cathy sent me pupdates while Lana was with her. At no time was I concerned about Lana. In fact, my plans changed and Cathy kindly extended Lana’s stay for me at short notice which was so very kind and helpful of her. When I picked Lana up, although she was happy to see me, she was in no rush to leave. Lana, and in fact, myself, were treated like a member of the family. I know for a fact that Lana was not distressed as she licks her paw raw when distressed. Lana was with Cathy for nearly 24 hours and her paw was perfect. I will definitely be using Cathy (and Stan) again. X

About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs. I provide a safe, secure home environment with a fully fenced garden and two friendly, well-socialised dogs to keep your pet company. If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised care. I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.

Diana was always responsive leading up to the stay. This was our first time using Rover, so that was very reassuring. Our dog, Toby, was very well cared for along with two other dogs that were being looked after at the same time. Videos and photos were shared throughout, again making us feel reassured that he was happy. Overall a really positive experience and we will be asking Diana to care for Toby again in the future! Thank you

Absolutely amazing! First time using rover and needed a very late last minute booking and luckily I found Mima! Mima and Scott treated my dog Ditsy as if she was there own which was amazing. Daily updates with pictures and Ditsy looked like she was on holiday enjoying life. I can't highly recommend both Mima and Scott enough and will be only using them in the future for looking after my dog Absolute pleasure to deal with and if your worried about leaving your dog with strangers id suggest using them and you won't regret it

Tilly has had a wonderful weeks holiday with Juliet. Juliet treated Tilly like she was one of her family during her stay. We were so nervous about leaving her, but Tilly remembered Juliet and her family from her last short visit and seemed happy straight away. Juliet sent us lots of photos and videos which we really appreciated. It was so wonderful to see how settled and happy she was. I can't recommend Juliet enough and just want to say a big thank you again to her and Rob. See you soon!

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.

Amadeusz watched our senior chihuahua for a bit over a week - I was nervous going into it because Ellie can be a bit wary of new people, but she settled right in with Amadeusz! We received regular updates on how she was doing, along with photos - it provided peace of mind that she was well taken care of in our absence. When our return was delayed due to problems with the flight, Amadeusz was very flexible and told us not to worry. We will definitely book again next time we need care for Ellie. Thank you!

He enjoyed lots of attention, snuggly places for a snooze and lovely walks. I would definitely recommend Rob and will definitely be using him again personally. 🐶🐾

Had to give Missy medication every day which isn’t always easy if she doesn’t want it but Chloe coped very well. We have already booked her again. Thank you Chloe Maggie and Allan x

About: I have taken care of a range of animals from the young age of 10. I have also cared and adored animals. 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 but from home so I can easily manage my work around been attentive to animals which makes it much easier for me. Make sure they are safe in the environment they are in and and can bring no harm to themselves or others. Make sure they have good care.

I had a very good experience. I felt comfortable leaving my cat, Freya, in Mike's care and was confident that she was safe and well looked after while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and Freya seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. Communication was easy, and Mike sent plenty of cute photos and videos, which was very reassuring. It was clear that she was being properly cared for, and I would happily trust Mike with Freya again in the future.

Tanvi was very professional liaising all the time, before and during her drop-in home visit with photos to ease my worries. My 6yr old Cockapoo Teddy is very anxious and not good with strangers, but he gelled well with Tanvi. The afternoon was a success and I am confident to leave Teddy in her capable hands for another visit really soon. I would highly recommend Tanvi to any dog owners with similar worries about leaving their dog.

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. I regularly look after family members’ dogs while they’re away, and it’s something I really enjoy. One day, I’d love to start my own dog walking business as working with dogs is something I’m genuinely passionate about. It’s something I know I’d love doing every day. I currently work from home two days a week, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive care and enjoy some extra company. I am also available on weekends, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pets and treating them like my own. I will always try to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel happy and settled, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with respect and follow any instructions so everything feels normal for your pet. At my home, pets will have a quiet, safe, relaxed space with lots of attention and care. I have a large fenced garden where they can play and explore, and two friendly dogs who love having some company if your pet enjoys being around others. I make sure pets aren’t left alone for long and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands.

About: I know it’s not “just a dog”, they’re our babies. I’ll treat yours like my own, with lots of love, attention, walks and lots of cuddles too! 🐾 I’m starting my Master’s online, which means I’ll be home far more than I’m out. Your dog won’t be fitted around my day, they’ll pretty much become part of it. Study break? Walk. Need some air? Walk. Procrastinating? Probably another walk. I love having a dog wandering around the house with me, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. Handing your dog over to someone you barely know is scary. I know because I have one and struggle to trust anyone with him! They’re your best friend and probably the most precious little thing in your life. I’ll look after yours with the same care I’d want for my Dexter, keep you updated with pictures, and make sure they’re safe, happy, loved and having the best time while you’re away. 🐾

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.

About: I’m Kirima! Co-owner of KL Canine Collective🐾 I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends, providing everything from daily walks and feeding to overnight stays and plenty of playtime. Through this experience, I’ve learned that every dog is different, so I always adapt my care to suit their individual personality, routine and needs. I offer doggy day care, dog boarding and dog walking in the Great Wakering area. Whether your dog enjoys long countryside walks, a gentle stroll, playing in the garden or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they have a happy, safe and enjoyable time. I work from home, which means your dog will have company for most of the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. My home has a fully secure garden where dogs can safely play, explore and burn off some energy. A typical day includes regular toilet breaks, walks tailored to your dog’s age and energy level, playtime, enrichment activities, plenty of opportunities to rest, and lots of love and attention. I have a real passion for dog training and enjoy continuing to expand my knowledge of canine behaviour and communication. I regularly take part in sport training with my own dog, working towards PSA titles alongside highly experienced trainers. Through this, I have the opportunity to learn from and shadow some of the most experienced people in the field, developing my understanding of dog behaviour, body language, motivation and effective training methods. I enjoy bringing this knowledge into everyday life by reinforcing good manners and basic obedience where appropriate. If there are any cues, routines or training you’d like your dog to continue practising while they’re with me, I’ll be happy to keep things consistent and follow your preferences. Every dog learns differently, and I always take the time to understand what motivates each individual dog. I understand how important routine is, so I’ll always follow your dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, medication (if required), training and any house rules you’d like me to continue. Before every booking, I’ll ask about your dog’s personality, likes and dislikes, medical needs, behaviour around other dogs, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first. My home is clean, secure and dog-friendly, and I’ll supervise dogs both indoors and outside. If an emergency were ever to arise, I’d contact you immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. For dog walking, I tailor every walk to suit your dog’s individual needs, whether they enjoy a gentle stroll or a longer, more active walk. My aim is to make sure every dog gets the exercise, mental stimulation and one-to-one attention they need while staying safe and happy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, so I’ll keep you updated throughout their stay with regular photos and messages, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a genuine home-from-home experience where they feel safe, comfortable, loved and well cared for from the moment they arrive. I’d love the opportunity to welcome your furry family member into my home and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. 🐶❤️ 📍 Great Wakering I work from home, which means I can provide plenty of attention, company and supervision throughout the day. I am able to fit walks, playtime, feeding routines and any medication needs around my daily schedule, while making sure pets have a calm and comfortable environment. I enjoy being active and going for walks, so I’m happy to provide regular exercise and enrichment to keep pets happy and stimulated. I have experience caring for family dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to help their pet feel comfortable and settled while they are in my care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable and loved. I provide a calm home environment where pets can relax, with plenty of attention, playtime and enrichment. I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person looking after their pet, so I always follow instructions carefully and keep owners updated with photos and messages. I take pet safety seriously by making sure pets are supervised, have a secure environment, and have their individual needs respected. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive the care, patience and affection they deserve.

About: My aim is to make sure your dog is happy, loved, entertained, walked and fed in the same way as if they were at home. I work from home so am here all day to look after your dog as I do my own gorgeous golden retriever, Stan. I wake up early (06:30) to say hi, provide breakfast, and let Stan and your lovely dog out in our safe garden followed by a cuddle. Then we’re out for a walk in the lovely open spaces on our doorstep. If it’s the weekend - and your dog is keen - we’ll go to the beach for a swim or paddle! Otherwise happy to stick to our lovely countryside walks :) Chill time then playtime in the garden followed by another walk later. Then dinner and an evening play and chill whilst we cook dinner and relax at home with Stan and his pal :) I have my own 7 year old golden retriever, Stan who is very chilled and gets on with all dogs and humans! We have a spacious home with a fenced garden. There are lots of lovely walks on our doorstep and we like to go to the beach for a swim or paddle too! Stan is my third child! I have two grown up kids at uni. Freddie, 22 and Poppy 20. I will look after your dog as if he were part of our family.

About: I had my own labradoodle from a puppy and have cared for friends and families pets since he passed away 8 years ago. Myself and my husband have 2 children (10 & 7) and they love playing with the animals too. We love going for walks as a family and happy for the dogs to tag along! I am currently working part time (flexible days) so am able to change my days if needed to look after your pets. I will be mainly at home during the week so can take on lots of walks/play/toilet breaks. I live in a detached house with a large fenced garden so it’s safe for animals. I don’t have any pets (just the 2 children!) and happy to just care for one at a time (or pets from the same family). I don’t have a crate but have the space for one if you wanted to provide.

My dog Leo absolutely loved his day with David, he can be unsettled when in unknown environments for the first few times & David made an effort to even come & do a meet & greet beforehand out of his own time & was very understanding. He is reliable, friendly, accommodating & very kind, you can tell he has a real passion and just loves dogs which makes you feel so comfortable leaving your beloved pet with him. Would 100% use again!

About: I’ve looked after animals for as long as I can remember — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I’m at home full-time, which means I can give animals the time, attention, and care they truly deserve. Whether it’s keeping them safe, happy, well-fed, exercised, or simply keeping them company, their wellbeing always comes first. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. From quiet cuddles to playtime and daily care, I treat every animal as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and genuinely devoted to animals, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be in caring hands with me. It will fit in because I am a stay at home mum and my children are older so it is just me looking after the pets. I have fenced garden and outdoor cattery and locked and I have security cameras over the property. The animals have a large Area to relax and exercise.

I also volunteered at a dog shelter for 6 years, where I cared for rescue dogs by feeding, walking, cleaning kennels, providing enrichment, and helping nervous or shy dogs build confidence around people. I’m comfortable looking after puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I always tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My priority is ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care.

I regularly look after family members’ dogs while they’re away, and it’s something I really enjoy. One day, I’d love to start my own dog walking business as working with dogs is something I’m genuinely passionate about. It’s something I know I’d love doing every day. I currently work from home two days a week, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive care and enjoy some extra company. I am also available on weekends, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pets and treating them like my own. I will always try to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel happy and settled, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with respect and follow any instructions so everything feels normal for your pet. At my home, pets will have a quiet, safe, relaxed space with lots of attention and care. I have a large fenced garden where they can play and explore, and two friendly dogs who love having some company if your pet enjoys being around others. I make sure pets aren’t left alone for long and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands.

It was my first time using Cathy and her adorable golden retriever Stan. We initially met to see if Lana was comfortable there. When we returned for Lana to stay, she happily walked into Cathy’s driveway. Cathy sent me pupdates while Lana was with her. At no time was I concerned about Lana. In fact, my plans changed and Cathy kindly extended Lana’s stay for me at short notice which was so very kind and helpful of her. When I picked Lana up, although she was happy to see me, she was in no rush to leave. Lana, and in fact, myself, were treated like a member of the family. I know for a fact that Lana was not distressed as she licks her paw raw when distressed. Lana was with Cathy for nearly 24 hours and her paw was perfect. I will definitely be using Cathy (and Stan) again. X

Amadeusz watched our senior chihuahua for a bit over a week - I was nervous going into it because Ellie can be a bit wary of new people, but she settled right in with Amadeusz! We received regular updates on how she was doing, along with photos - it provided peace of mind that she was well taken care of in our absence. When our return was delayed due to problems with the flight, Amadeusz was very flexible and told us not to worry. We will definitely book again next time we need care for Ellie. Thank you!

Rob, his partner and his gorgeous Corgi Achi gave Cookie the best holiday ever. I got plenty of updates, pictures and videos throughout his stay and I could tell he was happy and settled. He enjoyed lots of attention, snuggly places for a snooze and lovely walks. I would definitely recommend Rob and will definitely be using him again personally. 🐶🐾

We’re so happy with the care Caroline and her family gave Bailey. You can tell he had the best time—he came home such a happy, relaxed boy! He loved his walks, had loads of fun in the pool, and clearly felt right at home the whole time. Caroline sent me lots of photo and video updates of Bailey, giving extra peace of mind. He was so well looked after and treated like part of the family. He’s already excited to go back and play with Maple again! Would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a caring and fun home-from-home for their dog.

Catriona was great, lots of lovely updates and great communication which made the whole process really easy from start to finish. Bronson was very comfortable and happy in her care. Can home a happy tired pooch. Her home is clean, tidy and very dog friendly. Would definitely use Catriona in the future.

Maddy was fantastic with my dog Cooper last night! Cooper tends to be nervous in new situations, but Maddy was completely understanding and put him right at ease. Receiving her regular photos and updates gave me total peace of mind. He was so happy when I picked him up too, I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Ria and Greg had been amazing dog sitters for our Gem. I was anxious because I was leaving Gem for first time for 5 days. They put me at ease and assured me they will take care of him and make him comfortable. The moment I left their home they started sending me photos and videos of Gem settling in . Throughout I got regular updates about Gem from morning to night. They took him on regular walks and he also had the company of their lovely dog Nala. I would definitely use them in future. Ria and Greg are really welcoming and easy to communicate with. Thank you Ria and Greg.

Great service! Kept me updated, by sending photos. Prompt responses alaways. To Max on with short notice and very understanging. Will be booking again for sure 😁

We highly recommend Vīryanātha and his family. From the very first contact, communication was warm, responsive, and reassuring — exactly what we needed after a last-minute cancellation just before Christmas. Nala stayed with them for over two weeks during the holidays, and she was clearly treated like a member of the family. Between the daily walks, cuddles, and her integration with the whole family (including their daughter), she was genuinely at home. The regular updates and photos were very good and allowed us to enjoy our time away completely worry-free. It was obvious from every message that Nala was relaxed, happy, and deeply cared for — to the point that we joked she might not want to come back 😄. The kindness and professionalism they showed exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and experienced dog sitter who offers a real family environment, look no further. We would book with them again without hesitation. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Nala 🐾❤️ Erika & Jean-Marc

Kevin's communication was fantastic with very prompt responses and frequent updates. Poppy looked like she had a great time and really looked like she was at home! I wouldn't hesitate to ask Kevin and family to look after her again 👍

James and Deborah looked after my dog for a week at the end of May. I found them friendly, professional and with a genuine care for the animals they looked after. Great communication and regular updates were an added benefit. A safe and happy temporary home for my pup. Highly recommended.
