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

My flat is surrounded by so much green space and it's a really quiet area. I have a spacious living room and bedroom with plenty of room for dogs to feel comfortable and have space.

About: I'm an experienced dog owner and now really enjoy looking after dogs which I've been doing for friends and family for many years and now looking to do it more regularly.

I have a large fenced garden laid mostly to lawn and access to lovely off road dog walks close by for as many walks as needed.

“Alys kindly arranged a quick intro so we could meet her and her dog before booking a day care session with our lab, Goose. She and her husband wanted to know details of our usual routine and house rules so they could replicate that whilst Goose was with them.

Alys and Dan are friendly and professional and we will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: Does your dog find busy environments, other dogs, or kennels overwhelming? You're in the right place. I specialise in caring for anxious, nervous, and sensitive dogs in a calm, dog-free home; just your dog, no others. There's no competition for attention, no unpredictable dog dynamics, just a quiet, relaxed space where your dog can settle at their own pace. Ex-teacher seeking a quieter pace after years in Central London. Lifelong dog owner and trusted sitter for friends’ pets, and very much the type who gravitates to the dog at any gathering. Calm, reliable, and attentive, offering walks, home visits, and sitting with plenty of care, routine, and companionship. I am actively job hunting at the moment, so cannot commit to bookings too far in the future. I’m currently very flexible after leaving my Central London teaching role and while working on my MSc. I have plenty of time for walks, visits, and sitting across weekdays and weekends, and I can easily fit around your dog’s usual routine. I grew up with dogs and have long been the trusted sitter for friends’ pets. I live with my husband in a calm, dog-friendly house with an enclosed garden on the edge of fields for safe outdoor time and long walks. We have no children or other pets, so visiting dogs receive quiet, focused attention and can relax comfortably. I follow routines closely and prioritise safety, supervision, and secure environments at all times.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.
About: 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.
“Nicole was absolutely amazing with my Golden Retriever, Quaver. She sent lots of pictures and it was clear that he had an amazing day! He will definitely sleep well tonight. Thank you again & hopefully he can come and hang out with you again soon ❤️”
“Tania took wonderful care of my dog, Dexter, during his daycare, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave me real peace of mind. She took Dexter for walks, played with him, and gave him plenty of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him as if he were her own. Dexter absolutely enjoyed every moment with her and was always happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Tania to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for looking after Dexter so well!”
“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: -Insured - DBS checked - Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma I was lucky enough to grow up with several dogs and cats within my family home. Also plenty of extended family and friends with pets, which is where I came in! From a young age I always put my hand up to walk dogs, pop in or stay overnight. This opened up my understanding with a real mixture of breeds, boisterous characters, puppies and senior dogs. More recently in my own home, I rescued my dog, Ozzy in August 2025. He was unfortunately subjected to physical and emotional abuse for the first 7 months of his life. When I found him, he came with bundles of behavioural issues I’d not experienced at such a high volume before. Fast forward to now, after seeking advice from a brilliant behaviourist and adapting my care and training for him, social walks every week alongside sometimes 20+ dogs and clear boundaries he is thriving and is my pride and joy! He is the most high energy dog I’ve ever owned, he has taught me so much I didn’t already know. And above all else, there is nothing better than being around animals! Any animal with me gets the same love and care I share with my own 🐾 Alongside the time I set aside for my own dog, I am walking dogs full time currently. The services I would like to offer: Dog walking - half hour, full hour Drop ins (on particularly hot days, or any circumstances where the dog cannot be walked) which will include toilet break, play and/or training - half hour, full hour Drop ins for other animals that do not require walking Customers who have 2 dogs that require services and can be walked together - half hour, full hour I will always do my best to fit in emergencies, however currently not taking on boarding. All care for pets will take place at the owners home, or out walking. Unless there are introductions to my dog and they can share my garden for sure!
About: I have grown up surrounded by different animals from all sizes including horses, dogs, cats, donkeys to the smaller likes of hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets. I currently have a large greyhound called Velma who is more than happy sleeping the day away with the occasional cuddle. I understand not all dogs have the same needs and am adaptive in my approach. I currently work a shift pattern, meaning I am often available during the week and at odd times to help with your pet needs. I do not work overnight and so will be available for house sitting. For house sitting services, I will ensure I ask the correct questions from the home owners to be able to care for their pet to the best of my ability. I have great listening and observation skills to safely care for your additional family member!
About: I have been living on an animal sanctuary since April 2024, where 4 dogs freely roam around with me and the fellow animal residents while I work. I love all animals and have experience with very many personalities from working and living on this farm, including stubborn and difficult ones! I have had dogs since I was 4 years old and I love to create trusting bonds with dogs and showering them with the affection they all deserve. I am currently looking for some smaller jobs to spend some extra time with animals, and my schedule can be worked around to suit your needs. I am open to looking after animals in their home environments where they are happy and comfortable, making sure they are at ease while their owners are away.
About: I have had 3 dogs throughout my life (as well as a cat, hamster and fish to name a few!) I have always loved animals and caring for them. When family or friends are away, many of them look towards me to look after their pet as they know they will get the best care and love for their pet. I have a pet care business myself where i am fully insured and DBS checked and many people recommend me! Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog, an independent cat or a nervous rescue, I take the time to get to know each pet and care for them as if they were my own. I offer house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if required) and lots of affection. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m reliable and organised, and my goal is always to make every pet feel comfortable, loved and stress-free while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! I work as a primary school cleaner in afternoons (very short shifts) so I am currently available all summer holidays and will be available from September as well with slightly varying hours. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. To help me provide the best possible care, please let me know before your booking about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioural quirks, anxiety, aggression, escape tendencies, or anything else I should be aware of. As I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, I ask that it is safe and secure, and that I’m informed of any alarms, access instructions, hazards, or other pets in the household. In the event of an emergency, I will always try to contact you first and, if necessary, seek veterinary care in your pet’s best interests. I will always treat your home with respect, follow your instructions carefully, keep your property secure, and leave everything as I found it.
About: Both myself and my husband love animals! We both grew up with animals, and now are the pawrents of Betty (cat) and Mr Pickles (dachshund). We both work from home, so able to offer home boarding, house sitting, walks and drop ins (along with walks if home boarding/sitting). Your pet will have access to the whole house, and fenced of garden (for dogs), and happy to bath and brush/pamper all as part of the stay. A home visit is needed before, just so your furbaby can meet ours, and get the sniffs done around our house :) Both myself and husband work from home (I sometimes have to go out for work), but someone will be home all the time to give your pet the cuddles and pets all the time. Also, due to having our own, we never leave them alone. Our garden is fenced off, and we take our sausage to fenced in fields, which your dog is welcome too (if your happy for that). We walk our dog at least once daily, but will make sure your furbaby gets the walks they needs, along with treats, cuddles and pets. Our dog is crate trained, but happy if yours sleeps on the bed, that is of course no problem.
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’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, horses, rabbits, and even the occasional guinea pig! Whether it’s providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat every animal like my own. I have experience with both high-energy pups who love long walks and older pets who need a gentler approach. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and temperaments and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority. I’ll make sure they feel loved, entertained, and cared for while you're away! Im currently self employed therefore I am available whenever your pets need taking care of. I can do anytime weekends or weekdays. Please feel free to contact me any time I am very versatile in what you would want be to do as I understand everybody has there own certain way of how they care for their animals.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since childhood, I currently have an English bulldog with lots of health problems, 4 chickens and a hamster! I’m also a nurse by background so it’s in my nature to care and nurture I am currently fortunate enough to not need to work so I have quite a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule 😊 I have school runs on Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday and Friday but other than that I’m all yours! I have a large secure garden, my own friendly English bull dog and chickens in a secure pen. I have a stair gate to stop pets from going up stairs (mainly for my dog as when she comes back downstairs she’s bloomin’ dangerous!)
About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs from a young age, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, whether that’s an energetic dog who loves long walks and playtime or a quieter cat who prefers a calm, gentle approach. I make sure pets stick to their usual routines for feeding, exercise, and cuddles, and I always treat them as if they were my own. My aim is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away🐱🐶 I currently work shift patterns so would have to fit caring responsibilities around my days off. I get three days off so have plenty of time available. I live in a second floor flat with loads of outside space around me, so your pet has plenty of chances for nice, long walks.
About: With my experience and dedication, I am able to provide the very best care for your furry friend. I have experience with all breed's, big and small and have made it my mission to learn and study as much about dog's and their behaviour as possible, continuing with this every day! I have experience within dog day care and professional dog walking, and kennel environments. I have robust experience with reactive large breeds. I am currently studying towards qualifications in Canine Behaviour Training, which is a keen interest of mine. I am fully insured and DBS checked and have completed a canine first aid course. There is nothing I love more than seeing a happy, fulfilled dog and I throughly enjoy the adventure whilst walking alongside them. I am fully-flexible currently, with plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your furry friends. I am available for check-in's and walks differing in lengths. I will always put your pets needs at the forefront of my actions. If I am entering your home, you can be sound in the knowledge that I will treat it with respect and make sure that your dog has everything it needs to be comfortable and happy. When out walking, I will ensure that I create a strong bond between myself and your dog in order to ensure their safety at all times, I will ultimately treat your dog as my own and give the very best care possible.
About: I have grown up in a home caring for many animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and more. I have recently relocated from Surrey and have availability to take on new clients. I previously volunteered at a dog rescue in Portugal. I loved my time there! The experience has made me comfortable around dogs of all sizes, abilities, and temperaments. I am currently working privately as a carer. My hours are casual so I am very flexible with my availability and can be available at short notice. I would prefer to look after pets in their own home. I can stay with them all day or I can do regular check ups.

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

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

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.
“Rosie clearly loved being looked after by Alys, a home from home whilst we were away on holiday. It’s wonderful going away with absolute peace of mind that your fur baby is being taken care of with love and affection.”
“Caroline and her partner were excellent with Albus and he had the best time with them and their puppy! They were really kind about some of our schedule changes which we very much appreciated. We also had lots of photos and updates about Albus’s time with them. They are clearly very responsible pet owners and we felt so confident leaving Albus as knew he was in great hands! Will definitely book with Caroline again ☺️”
