About: Dogs are my favourite people. 🐶 I've always been a huge dog lover and genuinely can't imagine life without them. I have a wonderful 10-year-old Cockapoo of my own, and I've grown up with family dogs, so I've spent years caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. There's nothing I enjoy more than getting outdoors for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, and spending quality time with happy pups. Whether your dog loves an adventure, a relaxed stroll, or simply lots of cuddles and company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. As a Reiki practitioner, I naturally bring a calm, gentle energy and often find that animals relax quickly in my company. I'm always patient and attentive, making sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for at their own pace. I know every dog is different, so I'll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. I'll treat your furry friend as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and, of course, lots of love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I'll do everything I can to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your four-legged best friend! Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine. As I work for myself, I have the flexibility to organise my schedule around your dog's Secure fenced garden, dog-loving home with two respectful teenagers. Dogs are treated like family and are welcome on the sofa or bed, following your usual house rules.
“Gopher is a rescue dog and we wanted to be sure that whoever we chose him to stay with overnight was kind ,considerate of his needs and when needed, would get the reassuring attention, felt safe and got lots of cuddles, he got just that. Lisa’s understanding and patience with gopher made all the difference to him and to us. Lisa is a true doggie person and we would highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.
“Charlotte and her family made our boy so welcome, looked after him so well and he came home a very happy boy after a lovely stay with them. Great communication and it was really helpful to have a meet and greet before the stay. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“It is very difficult to quantify how incredible and sweet Andreia and her beautiful family are. I could talk about how wonderful she was with our “less than easy” Spaniel, but there are so many other aspects of Andreia that makes her quite special. We had numerous complications with our holiday plans including a very last minute postponement as a result of American bombing in the Middle East. Andreia took it all in her stride. In summary, I would dare to suggest that if you are lucky enough to have Andreia take care of your dog, you can count yourself lucky.”
“Hi everyone ! Our dog LOVE her . She is very attentive and loving to our dog . Shisi is prompt flexible end friendly. She has excellent communication . I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care for their dog. Many thanks Shisi 😊😊”
“We think our dog had a great time with Andrew. We only got a few photos and videos during the stay, but she certainly looked very happy in the ones we did see. Andrew clearly has a big heart for dogs and gave her a lot of love and attention.”
“Catherine had Reggie our energetic cocker spaniel and he felt right at home with her lovely 2 little doggie pals. He got endless walks and lots of cuddles. When I picked him up, he didn’t seem to want to come back home!! Xx”

About: Over 20 years of animal care experience. I have experience with many different dogs from small breeds to large. I have rescued and trained nervous and reactive dogs historically.

Greetings between my dog and a customers is done with care, usually starting by a fun walk first. Your dog is guaranteed to be welcomed warmly into my home, physical and mental needs met and will have some friendly 4-legged company.

I enjoy keeping dogs happy, comfortable, and engaged during their stay. My home has a small secure fenced garden where dogs can safely play, relax in the sunshine, and have access to the outdoors whenever they need. I don’t live alone, so Ivanna is also able to open the garden door at any time, giving the dogs easy access to the outside area. I would love to welcome dogs into my home and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while they are with me.
“Leaving Charlie with Monika and her family was an excellent experience. Her whole family are dog lovers and welcomed Charlie so warmly. Monika sent lovely photos and updates through out my time away. Charlie came back relaxed and happy. I would definitely use Monika’s services again.”

“Elena was such a brilliant find. Crocus is a shy elderly cat who doesn’t take to strangers and hides away, but Elena’s gentle and relaxed manner, along with her knowledge and experience with cats made her the perfect fit to look after her. I had complete confidence that Crocus was being cared for properly while I was away. Elena went the extra mile seeking her out and building a relationship with her and I will definitely be using Elena again in the future.”
“Really happy we chose Chelsea to take care of our 4 cats for almost a week We had twice daily updates and videos and she left everything very clean Our cats really liked her Highly recommend. Thanks Chelsea x”
“I cannot recommend Kiera enough! We booked Kiera through Cat in a Flat to look after our five cats for two whole weeks, and she was absolutely wonderful. From our very first communication, she was incredibly polite, kind, and professional, which immediately put my mind at ease for such a long trip. Taking care of five cats is no small task, but Kiera handled it perfectly. Every day, she sent me detailed updates and lovely photos, so I always knew my fur babies were safe and happy. She took care of all the essentials flawlessly—feeding them on schedule and keeping all the litter boxes completely spotless. What really stood out to me was how she went above and beyond. A couple of times, my cats had little accidents, and Kiera kindly cleaned up the vomit and mess without a single complaint. She is truly dedicated to the well-being of the pets she watches. As a wonderful bonus, she even stepped in to feed our fish! I also really appreciated how comfortable and understanding she was regarding our home security. We have several cameras installed for safety (on the outside corner of the house, the front door, the garden fence, as well as inside the living room and nursery). Some sitters might find that intimidating, but it didn't bother Kiera at all, which just proves how transparent, trustworthy, and professional she is. Kiera is a very sweet, reliable, and hardworking sitter. Her messages were always so polite and a joy to read. If you are looking for someone who will treat your home and pets with the utmost care and respect, Kiera is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking her again! 5/5 stars! 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈”
About: With 32 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats — including raising my own cheeky dachshund — I offer calm, loving care that feels just like home. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, which means I can give pets the attention they need throughout the day — whether that’s morning walks, playtime, or evening cuddles. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine and give them lots of love, attention, and care while respecting your space as if it were my own.
About: I’m a proud cat mum to Loki and Nimbus, so I’m very familiar with all the quirks that come with cats! I’m confident with feeding, litter trays, playtime and giving plenty of attention, while also respecting when a cat prefers their own space. I know how reassuring it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them at home, and I’ll happily provide regular updates and photos while you’re away.
About: I am a loyal, trustworthy, and deeply animal-loving person who has always felt happiest when surrounded by pets. Growing up, I was constantly drawn to animals, and caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something that comes naturally to me. I have pets of my own, so I truly understand the responsibility, patience, and love that goes into keeping animals happy, healthy, and safe. Being a pet owner has taught me how important routine, attention, and affection are in an animal’s life. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to become a pet sitter and dog walker because I genuinely love being around animals of all kinds. Spending time with them brings me joy, and I take pride in making them feel comfortable and secure, especially when their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I am committed to providing the same level of love and dedication that I give to my own pets. My passion for animal care motivates me every day. I am attentive to details, patient with different personalities, and always focused on each pet’s well-being. Becoming a pet sitter isn’t just a job for me—it’s an opportunity to turn my love for animals into meaningful work where I can make a positive difference in their lives.

I would ensure that when visiting a customers house the cat/dog is comfortable around me and will ensure they get lots of cuddles attention and walks.

“Lovely couple, feel very happy with leaving my dog there for the day while i’m work. Had the cutest little dog who seemed to love my Rio. Had a lovely meet and greet. Would highly recommend Miriam!”
“Steven looked after our cockapoo Alfie really well and he came back a happy chap. During the day Alfie had a nice long walk. Steven is really attentive, took some great photos of Alfie and let us know how Alfie got on during the day. Very happy to recommend Steven.”
“Bruno had a wonderful time with Chloe! Our 3-year-old Boxer (who very much still thinks he's a puppy) was in great hands. She clearly put in a lot of effort — a long, happy walk and plenty of socialising with other dogs made for one very content boy. He came home absolutely exhausted and is now snoring away in his bed, which is the best sign of a great day out. We really appreciate the care and attention Chloe gave him. Highly recommended! 🐾”
“Yhozmin and family were lovely! Holly was greeted with such warmth and care. Regular updates & pictures throughout the day. Definitely recommend this kind & loving family to look after your pet”
“Thank you Gareth! You were terrific with Pablo and he had a lovely day! Thanks for the photos and updates and for helping us with the awkward timings today. Much appreciated- see you again!”

About: I’ve cared for friends and family’s dogs of all age. I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and keeps to their normal routine. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s extra playtime or gentle care, I adapt to each pet’s needs to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. We work from home so there is always someone around for a lap to sit on. Our dog gets a quick walk before work in the mornings then generally we work a longer one into the afternoon. We are often at home or we take our dog out with us to the forest or beach. I have a fenced off garden and stair gate on the kitchen door to stop any dogs escaping out the front door. We are a dogs on furniture kind of home and you will often find ours on our lap!
About: FULLY LICENSED AND INSURED. For me, pet sitting isn’t just about feeding and walking—it’s about making pets feel loved and secure while their family is away.

I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I truly enjoy getting to know them and making them feel at home with me. 🐕🐈🐇🐠 I love them all!

Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel loved and secure. At my home, they’ll get play, exercise, and cozy spots to rest. In your home, I’ll keep their routine consistent so they feel happy and comfortable.
“Kelly & Ed were great with Rosie and gave us plenty of updates and photos whilst we were away for just one night. They actually seemed to be really looking forward to having her and I’m sure they made her feel at home. It was another hot sunny day but they made sure to take her out early in the morning. Would thoroughly recommend, but then again, don’t want them do busy that they can’t look after Rosie again !! 😝”

About: Welcome to my Rover profile 🐶🐾 If you're looking for a reliable, experienced pet sitter who genuinely loves animals, I’d be delighted to help take care of your pets and home while you're away. Below is more information on my experience. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. With 25 years' experience caring for animals, including 4 years' volunteering in a rescue shelter, I've developed a deep passion for animals of all kinds. In rescue, I had the pleasure of walking multiple dogs on each visit and caring for a variety of animals. I regularly look after the pets of my neighbours and friends which has given me the opportunity to build trusting relationships with many furry companions. I've been a house sitter for 5 years and had the privilege of working with wonderful clients through Rover. I’ve built lasting connections with pet owners who trust me to look after their homes and pets, as if they were my own. I recently lost my own dog of 15 years, who was an adorable rescue staffy called Teddy from Battersea. I have experience with most breeds and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments, including anxious or reactive dogs. I always recommend a meet and greet before booking, especially for dogs with specific needs or triggers, to make sure it’s a good fit and your dog feels safe and settled. Please do let me know in advance about any reactivity, routines, medical needs or behavioural quirks, the more I know, the better care I can provide. Thank you :) I am currently working from home (Mon-Fri), and flexible with work and meetings. For requests over 12 miles, a small fee will be charged to cover my petrol costs. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a message if you have any questions and would like to know more. I live in Saffron Walden and have a long garden in the countryside, with plenty of nearby fields, which I love to walk in. I ensure safety of pets by: • using secure leads • walking in safe areas • communicating with owners regularly • learning the commands your dog responds to • understanding your dog’s temperament • if there are any issues (I.e. not good around other dogs, people etc) • understanding what your dog enjoys (swimming in a lake) and finally, by building a great relationship with the pets and owners.
“Woody had a great time with Lisa and her little doggy. Lisa was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating when we had to move our schedule. Woody will definitely be staying again!”

“Marta was amazing with Tank! We got so many cute updates throughout the day — pictures, videos, the works — and it looked like he was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, tired, and totally spoiled (just the way we like him 😄). We couldn’t have asked for better care. Thanks so much, Marta — Tank can’t wait to hang out with you again! 🐶💛”

I follow their normal routine and give them lots of love, attention, and care while respecting your space as if it were my own.
About: I am a loyal, trustworthy, and deeply animal-loving person who has always felt happiest when surrounded by pets. Growing up, I was constantly drawn to animals, and caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something that comes naturally to me. I have pets of my own, so I truly understand the responsibility, patience, and love that goes into keeping animals happy, healthy, and safe. Being a pet owner has taught me how important routine, attention, and affection are in an animal’s life. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to become a pet sitter and dog walker because I genuinely love being around animals of all kinds. Spending time with them brings me joy, and I take pride in making them feel comfortable and secure, especially when their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I am committed to providing the same level of love and dedication that I give to my own pets. My passion for animal care motivates me every day. I am attentive to details, patient with different personalities, and always focused on each pet’s well-being. Becoming a pet sitter isn’t just a job for me—it’s an opportunity to turn my love for animals into meaningful work where I can make a positive difference in their lives. Pet care is a big part of my daily life, and I organise my schedule around the pets I’m looking after. 🐾 I make sure I have plenty of time for each pet so visits and walks never feel rushed. I’m flexible wherever possible and will work with you to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medication or simply their favourite cuddle time! 💚 I provide loving, personalised care while keeping your pet happy and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. 🐾 I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles and medication where required. Every pet is different, so their care is tailored to their individual needs and personality. I’ll also send you regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away. 💚

“Thanks Kirsten, that was a walk and a half! They are both happy and don’t seem to be upset by being left so this is a great solution to occasional dog sitting. The report, map and photos were very reassuring.”
About: Hello! My name is Elisa and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them and have had pets in my life since the day I was born. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different animals and breeds. I’ve had Dachshunds, a German Shepherd, Yorkshire Terriers, a Pinscher, a French Bulldog, and mixed-breed dogs as well. I currently have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who is a big part of my life. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also had other pets growing up, including a mixed-breed cat and even a rabbit, which gave me experience caring for different types of animals and understanding their unique needs and behaviours. Caring for animals has always come very naturally to me. I truly enjoy spending time with them, going for walks, playing, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always try to respect their habits and make them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and well cared for while you have peace of mind. I would be very happy to look after your pet as if they were part of my own family. I work part-time and I’m also studying, which means I have a structured but flexible routine. I spend a lot of time at home and can dedicate attention, care and playtime to the pets I look after during the week and weekends. I provide a calm and safe home environment for pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and routine, making sure they feel comfortable, supervised and well cared for at all times. I treat every pet with patience, kindness and responsibility.
About: 20 years of experience raising and caring for animals at home (cocker spaniel, dachshund, border-collie, maine-coone) Deeply empathetic, considerate and gentle, I'm happy to accommodate any special care requests you require. I look forward to hearing from you! Currently working part-time from home (design/printmaker), so I have plenty of moments during my day for connection and care.

About: Dogs are my favourite people. 🐶 I've always been a huge dog lover and genuinely can't imagine life without them. I have a wonderful 10-year-old Cockapoo of my own, and I've grown up with family dogs, so I've spent years caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. There's nothing I enjoy more than getting outdoors for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, and spending quality time with happy pups. Whether your dog loves an adventure, a relaxed stroll, or simply lots of cuddles and company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. As a Reiki practitioner, I naturally bring a calm, gentle energy and often find that animals relax quickly in my company. I'm always patient and attentive, making sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for at their own pace. I know every dog is different, so I'll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. I'll treat your furry friend as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and, of course, lots of love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I'll do everything I can to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your four-legged best friend! Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine. As I work for myself, I have the flexibility to organise my schedule around your dog's Secure fenced garden, dog-loving home with two respectful teenagers. Dogs are treated like family and are welcome on the sofa or bed, following your usual house rules.
“Gopher is a rescue dog and we wanted to be sure that whoever we chose him to stay with overnight was kind ,considerate of his needs and when needed, would get the reassuring attention, felt safe and got lots of cuddles, he got just that. Lisa’s understanding and patience with gopher made all the difference to him and to us. Lisa is a true doggie person and we would highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.
“Charlotte and her family made our boy so welcome, looked after him so well and he came home a very happy boy after a lovely stay with them. Great communication and it was really helpful to have a meet and greet before the stay. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We think our dog had a great time with Andrew. We only got a few photos and videos during the stay, but she certainly looked very happy in the ones we did see. Andrew clearly has a big heart for dogs and gave her a lot of love and attention.”

I don’t live alone, so Ivanna is also able to open the garden door at any time, giving the dogs easy access to the outside area. I would love to welcome dogs into my home and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while they are with me.

“Lauren was great, really put in a lot of effort and making teddy feel at home and gave him lots of attention and love. And kept us updated with great pictures and videos making us feel very at ease while away on holiday! Would highly recommend and will be using again x”
“Barbara was so lovely with Jackson and he became her shadow when out on walks. She made a huge fuss of him, with hugs and kisses, and clearly loved him. Jackson was allowed on the settee and upstairs and treated as their own pet. He got on well with Enzo, Barbara’s Cavalier Spaniel and there were no issues whatsoever. I can highly recommend Barbara and her partner Alan who also bonded with Jackson. They are a delightful couple and I trust them fully to look after Jackson and make his stay as homely as possible.”
“This was the second time Monty stayed, and this time overnight. While he’s not the easiest puppy at the moment, she handled him brilliantly. She did such a wonderful job with him and I’m definitely booking again.”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job looking after our chocolate lab, Eddie. Great communication and clearly looked after Eddie with a lot of love and attention. He was a very happy dog and looked great when we picked him up. Also dealt very well with Eddie’s sore paw and medication. Would thoroughly recommend Jennifer.”
“Bonny and Nick were great, and took Alfie at short notice. He really enjoyed his stay and was well looked after with great country walks. Would definitely recommend if flying from Stansted!”
“Bruna and her partner were fantastic with Miley. They ensure continuity with her exercise and meal routines. They gave her lots of love and played with her. I’ll definitely book with them again”
