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.
“Diana and her family looked after our puppy, Hicky, for the first time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made him feel so welcome from the moment he arrived, kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, and really put our minds at ease. Diana was amazing with Hicky, and it was clear he was in safe, caring hands. She and her family are such kind, warm, and lovely people, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Hicky!”
About: We've been lucky enough to share our lives with Dachshunds for over 18 years, and if you know the breed, you'll know they're not just dogs... they're tiny bosses with huge personalities! ❤️ We recently said goodbye to our beloved Hector, and while he'll always have a place in our hearts, our other Dachshund, Betty, is definitely missing her partner in crime (and so are we!). Your dog will be treated as one of the family, with plenty of cuddles, attention, and daily walks alongside Betty. Between me and my husband, we work around each other, so there's almost always someone at home (apart from the occasional school run etc!). Our only request is that your dog is happy and confident around our two children, of course our children will be supervised but we know not all dogs are confident around children in the first place. If your dog has a similar fur brother or sister of a different breed and you would like them to stay with us please let us know and I'm sure we can accommodate. Both me and my husband work around each other, our house is a busy one but there is almost always someone home, the kids need to be taken to school in the mornings but then the day is ours! Your dog will be treated as one of our own, Betty sleeps out of her crate in one of her many beds around the house. We understand we are looking after your baby so any special wants or needs can be catered for within reason.

Came back to some very happy cats and a clean house absolutely perfect!”

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.

I follow routines closely and prioritise safety, supervision, and secure environments at all times.

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.

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 understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.

“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: “I grew up surrounded by dogs and absolutely adore them, I’ve also rescued six bunnies and cared for small animals like hamsters and mice over the years. Animals truly are my world; being in their presence instantly brings me joy and happiness. I offer loving in-home care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish during 1–2 week stays right in the owner’s house. Your pets will receive tons of affection, playtime, gentle attention, and respect for their routines. I’ll send regular photo and text updates so you can relax on your holiday, knowing your furry (or finned) family is safe, happy, and well-loved.” “Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible routine as an occasional house sitter. I’m usually free for one or two weeks at a time when I choose to open my availability. During a sit I integrate seamlessly into the household, morning walks, feeding routines, playtime, and evening cuddles all become part of my day. I love sending photo updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy. Outside of sits, I keep my own schedule light so I can give full attention when I’m caring for dogs, cats or fish in their homes.” “I only offer house sitting, so I always care for pets in the owner’s home. I follow your exact routines for feeding, walks, playtime and medication. I stay overnight, giving your dog, cat or fish constant companionship and attention. The home stays secure and tidy, plants are watered if needed, and I can send photos and updates so you can relax. Your pet remains in their familiar environment with someone who genuinely cares.”

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: My partner Charlie and I have always loved the company of animals. We've both been around dogs for most of ours lives. Charlie's family has three Yorkshire terriers and mine has a Cockapoo and we love them all so much. However, we've since moved in to our first place together in a lovely little house in Heybridge but as you can imagine we're missing our family pets a lot! Hence why we've signed up to Rover. We miss the funny little personalities of furry companions, and that's why we'd like to look after yours ❤️ We've walked and looked after many friends pets over the years and we will always treat your pet with the upmost respect and care that they deserve. We are happy to look after your pets however you would like us too. We understand from experience that all pets are different and have different needs. We will take on board any information you give us to ensure your pet feels as at home as possible, even if that means they sleep on our bed! 😂 Based in Heybridge, Essex 📍 Both my partner Charlie and I work full time 8-4 but we do have the opportunity to work from home and we'd love the company of your pet at the same time! Normally we go into the office for the beginning of the week and work from home for the rest so we're more than happy to walk your dogs early morning & within our lunch breaks or look after them during the day. We'll always have more than enough time to play with your pets and give them the attention they need! We will always ensure at least 1 of us is home with your pet for the entirety of their stay (unless this is an extended stay in which details for leaving them alone will be discussed beforehand). Your pets safety and happiness is our top priority 🐾 We have a good-sized fenced garden and plenty of indoor space. We live in middle terrace house so we do have stairs, please let us know if your pet struggles with this. The garden is accessible from the back door so pets can have easy access to this at all times.
About: I have taken care of my own pets my whole life. I have had dogs since I was 2 years old and have always had a passion for taking care of them. I am a very reliable individual who can take your dogs for the walks they need and even drop in and do house visits. I am fully insured and have done a canine CPR and first aid course. I feel extremely confident walking dogs and feel like I am very trustworthy. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch 😊. I have plenty of time at the moment to grow my business and walk the dogs who need it. I will be happy to work round what’s best for my clients and their furry friends. Making sure your pets are safe is the most important thing. They will always be safe in my hands when walking. I am fully insured also.
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: 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 started my own dog walking business when I was in my early teens and I loved it! Even in the rain and cold I’d be out walking dogs for neighbours and friends parents, even gaining the trust of people I didn’t know. I have my own dogs and love them so much.. we love to don fun training, going for walks and doing indoor enrichment activities! I’m always learning new ways to keep the pups happy and healthy, after all they don’t get to stick around as long as us so it’s important to make sure they have the best time! I am also looking to do my dog training certifications so am always learning new ways to engage dogs in training, whether it be basic manners or cool tricks! I work shifts so my schedule is a big all over the place. However due to this, I am often available at times when a lot of people are working. I have a secure garden and fields to walk in close by. I am happy to do what is needed for you and your pup to feel happy and secure! I have two dogs of my own who love play mates, however if your dog does not we can keep them separate ☺️
About: I am currently doing a masters degree in veterinary physiotherapy as well as having a degree in Animal Therapy. I have owned dogs and other various animals my whole life as well as working in the animal industry, and worked with a range of breeds and ages and love seeing their different personalities. My schedule varies weekly due to also working in a vet practice but I am flexible with notice for whatever is needed allowing me to have lots of time to look after your pups! I always listen to the owners schedule and try to stick to their usual routines, through this I learn the dog and am able to always think of their safety
About: I've had my own dogs for 10 years now and I have fostered 7+ more with various medical and behavioural issues. There's really not much I haven't seen a dog do! One of my dogs Lennon, is 13 years old with 3 legs, which has meant I've had to work out ways of using up his energy mentally! I am also a volunteer dog walker for the RSPCA, which I fit in around my job in the emergency services. I currently work shifts for the emergency services. My shift pattern means I have 4-5 days off at a time regularly, giving me the ability to care for the dogs of Witham and surrounding areas! In the owners home, I can do whatever they think is best for the dog. Whether that's just a bit of company for those in their older years, or fun games in the garden for those packed with energy! I am also more than happy to put food down, refresh water and clear up any accidents your pooch may have had whilst you weren't home!

About: Both myself & partner work from home so are able to give lots of cuddles and walks. We have a gorgeous puppy called coco who loves being around other dogs. We have grown up around dogs and would love to have our coco around other dogs as often as possible.

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.
“We left our dogs for the first time while we went on holiday. After meeting Karen, Grahame, Ben, and Oliver beforehand, we instantly knew they would be the perfect family to care for our boys. We were so worried about leaving them, as they had never stayed with a dog boarder before, but Karen’s kindness and calm reassurance immediately put us at ease. Karen cared for Buddy and Hugo in her home for two weeks while we were away, and she was absolutely amazing. Our boys were so well looked after—loved, cuddled, walked, and cared for exactly as they are at home. Karen and her family followed all of our guidance, kept in touch every day, and sent regular photos, which completely eased any worries we had. Buddy and Hugo looked so happy, relaxed, and settled during their stay. It was clear they were treated like part of the family. We would never use anyone else. We highly recommend Karen and her wonderful family to anyone looking for someone truly caring and trustworthy to look after their dogs. We will most definitely be booking again soon! 🐾❤️”

“Suzy is a very friendly lady with a clear love for dogs. She made us feel comfortable that our little man Ozzie was well cared for while we were away and we would not hesitate in using her again!”
About: I love pets and everything about them. I have a little Pomeranian myself which has made me realise that the best thing I do out of all that I do is looking after and caring for him, and I could do that with yours too. I do anything that you can imagine from playing to brushing to running with the four legged friends. I absolutely love dogs and I would be perfect with looking after your four legged friends. I'm very active and I have a very clean flat as it is very important to do so with any kind of pet. It would be a pleasure for me to work through Christmas, bank holidays and Sundays. You will have absolutely no worries leaving your dog with me.
