“Mary was absolutely wonderful! She took such loving care of my cat and kept me feeling completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cat was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I’m so grateful and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter.❤️”

“Highly recommended! Imogen was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Kyo. She was incredibly friendly with us from the start, and it was clear that Kyo thoroughly enjoyed her company. Imogen followed all of our instructions perfectly and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and cared for all week. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

“Emilie provided a cat-sitting service for our two kitties over the course of a week, popping in each day to ensure they were well fed, hydrated, and that their litter trays were clean. Emilie did a fantastic job over the week - we had absolutely no issues or problems while we were away. Emilie was also kind enough to send pictures and videos each day, which really helped put our minds at ease. Our kitties seemed to really like her visits too! Finally, we found that Emilie was very communicative and eager to take on the visits. Overall, I can highly recommend Emilie as a cat sitter, and we’ll surely be taking advantage of her cat-sitting services in the future.”

“Elizabeth has looked after my 2 cats very well whilst we were on holiday and would thoroughly recommend her. She sent us photos of the cats every day so we didn’t have to worry about them. I will certainly use Elizabeth again. Thanks x”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand that pets are family. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will care for them with the same love, attention, and patience that you do. I grew up with French Bulldogs, so I'm very familiar with brachycephalic breeds and the extra care, monitoring, and attention they require. Through this experience, I've learned how important it is to pay close attention to a pet's behaviour, comfort, and wellbeing. I live with two tabby cats and a kitten (family cats), giving me experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities. Whether it's an energetic young pet who loves to play or an older pet who prefers a calmer routine, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. I'm reliable, attentive, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work in the Essex area, so I’m able to do Morning lunchtime and evening drop-ins locally around Chingford, Woodford, Chigwell and nearby areas. I also cover Enfield and nearby areas. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine as I’m flexible with mornings, evenings and overnight which works well for regular visits and feeding schedules. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, making sure pets are checked on, walked, and cared for even when owners are busy at work. When caring for a pet in their home, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure they feel relaxed and secure by keeping things familiar and following their normal schedule as closely as possible. I understand that pets can feel anxious or lonely when their owners are away, so I focus on giving them calm, caring company and plenty of attention to help them feel at ease. Whether that’s cuddles, playtime, walks, or simply sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I adapt to what each pet needs. I also respect the owner’s home, keeping everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. My goal is to give both pets and owners peace of mind, knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Dogs are my passion in life, I offer a bespoke service looking after your fur babies whether it be for a couple of hours a day or whilst you’re on holiday. I’ve just relocated to lovely leafy Loughton and am literally minutes from the woods and the high street. I have a safe private garden for your pets to run around with. I only offer this service for a maximum of 3 guest dogs. I am fully insured with over 15 years experience as a dog sitter and walker and have just passed my NVQ level 2 grooming course with a distinction. I used to operate as Winchester Walkies when I lived in HIghams park and I took a brief sabbatical. I look forward to welcoming your dogs into my home and caring for them like they’re my own. Your pet will have my full attention as this is my full time job and a typical day will include wonderful wood walks, ball play in a secure fenced garden and naps wherever your pet prefers to perch whether it be the sofa or luxury dog beds! I have a fenced secure private garden, there are separate zones for dogs who may want to have some private time and there is plenty of shade in the garden so dogs don’t overheat. The cottage is also north east facing so will never get too hot in the summer months, your dog is my top priority.

“Jane was great looking after the cats, came at the times I'd asked and followed my mammoth list of notes. Very easy going and cared about the cats and the house so I'm very happy. thanks Jane - gave me peace of mind while away.”

About: Experience with young and old dogs with varying needs. Having owned dogs my whole life, I am well equipped to cater to their important needs AND their love and attention. I frequently look after my Nana’s dog and I have my own (very needy!) Basset Hound. I work as a writer, so flexibility is my middle name! I can work from anywhere and love taking breaks by walking in nature, which makes taking a fluffy companion with me a treat. I am confident and responsible, I am happy to cater to the exact needs of your pet. From pets which need lots of help and attention, to pets who just need company in the house!

“Kerri was really quick and easy to communicate with. Even though I had only booked a quick visit for Kerri to feed my two cats, she stays took photos and shared them with me which was really lovely. Especially as it was my first time using this service, it put me at ease and really reassured me. Id be super happy to use again. Thanks!”

About: I've had many pets growing up so have first hand experience taking care of them. I absolutely love animals so would ensure your pet is loved and cared for whilst you're away. I have experience house sitting for my neighbors cat and dog walking. I'm currently a student on my summer break so am very flexible with days to look after your pets. In October I will be available at weekends and on Wednesday. I will ensure your doors are locked and your pet is kept safely indoors. I will ensure there is enough water and they are fed the correct amount of food as well as ensuring hygiene and toilet time.

About: I I’ve got over 8 years of hands-on dog-sitting experience and have grown up around pets all my life. At home, I care for my two dogs, Cookie and Lola, and my two cats, Marvel and Zeus, so I’m very used to different personalities, routines, and little quirks. I also help out with my mum’s doggy day care, looking after a wide range of dogs, many of them are now long-term regulars who I’ve really grown attached to over time. It’s such a lovely feeling seeing familiar faces come back, and I’ve honestly fallen a bit in love with quite a few of them! This experience has helped me feel confident handling different temperaments and making sure each dog feels safe, settled, and genuinely cared for. I truly love what I do and always want every pet to feel like they’re in a calm, happy, and caring home. I work full time Monday to Friday, but I’m available in the evenings as well as full weekends and overnight care. I can offer a range of services including walks, feeding, playtime, sitting, and keeping your pet company. Due to living at home with other pets and family members, I currently offer pet care in the owner’s home. I’m always respectful of your space and will make sure to follow any house rules, routines, or specific instructions you have for your pet.

“Lorraine has been really amazing with my cat Otto! She regularly shared updates with me and made sure Otto is okay while I’m away. Really glad to have her looking after my cat!”

I’m also experienced with walking, feeding, enrichment, and providing safe, loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and I treat every animal as if they were my own. From June onwards I’ll have a very flexible schedule and will be available most weekdays, as I’m currently waiting for my new workplace to open in August. This means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets during the day, with some evening availability too. I’m happy to provide walks, daytime care, playtime, and lots of love and attention! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I have hands-on experience with dogs through rescue and rehabilitation work and understand that every dog has different needs and personalities.

I’m experienced with nervous and rescue dogs and will always make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and happy in my care.

About: I have always had animals in my life from childhood. For the last 40 years I have had many cats that have all lived a long life and several large rescue dogs including German Shepards, Mastiff Cross and a Golden Retriever. At the moment I just have one old mastiff cross who gets on with all dogs and people. Have also had many small furry animals and a snake. I am happy looking dogs of all sizes preferably large dogs in my own home and happy to catsit or house sit for animals in their own home. I live in a semi detached house with a lorge fenced garden . I work parttime on a adhoc basis so fits in with animal care and my husband works from home all the time. So someone is around most of the time. Someone at home the majority of the time. Animals are allowed anywhere in the house and garden including sofas and beds. Large fenced garden, easy walking to the park or nature reserve. One or two walks a day depending on need

About: For the past 3 years, I've had the joy of caring for amazing animals while working as a pet sitter and dog walker at LFKK in South Africa. Building trust is my top priority, ensuring both pets and their owners feel comfortable and relaxed. This includes keeping entrusted homes sparkling clean. I've consistently received positive feedback, thanks to the exceptional care I provide for a variety of furry friends. One example that highlights this is a long-term dog walking client I cared for over 2 years. We built a wonderful connection, and I ensured their pups received not only exercise but also plenty of love and playful adventures. My passion for animals stems from growing up with dogs my whole life. Recently, I adopted a wonderful cat who has opened my eyes to the unique world of feline friends. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of animal behavior and the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for all our furry companions. As I've recently moved to the UK, I'm currently seeking new opportunities. This allows me to offer my services as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have experience caring for animals and ensuring their well-being, and I'm passionate about keeping them healthy and happy. Currently, I can provide exceptional in-home pet care. Due to living arrangements, bringing pets into my temporary residence wouldn't be ideal. This also ensures a comfortable environment for both my existing cat and your furry friend. I'm a highly dependable individual who prioritizes maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. You can be confident your home will be left exactly as you found it.

Playtime Paradise - our play area are designed for maximum fun and safety. We do regular "walkies" and exercise is woven into the daily routine, ensuring your dog stays happy, healthy and entertained. 5. Health and Happiness - I ensure that your furry friend is monitored for health indicators and respond promptly to any special requirements your dog may have. I provide personalised care and I have a genuine passion for enhancing your dog's well-being. This is the best part, I work from home 2 days a week, which allows for your furry friend to spend nights with me. Weekends are the funnest! Holidays and festive seasons are available full time, and your paws will follow my shadow all day. I have a fenced yard, with green grass and a full dog friendly house. Your dog will have access to their own doggy sleeping “home” with a doggy door to the yard, allowing dependant trips to the bathroom. The play and nap area is equipped with heated floors to assure your paws stay warm during the cold winter months.

About: Myself and my partner Annabel both work mostly from home with a lot of spare time, so can be very flexible with timings! I love any length of walk and taking the time to make sure they are comfortable with me! I currently have my own dog and have had one before him so know the importance of dog safety. I have learnt the best local areas to walk dogs. I always go on long walks and would love to have others join, as well as help younger dogs become socialised which at the moment can be quite hard. My dog Pluto is perfect for shy dogs to meet as he is friendly to all and never barks! I love meeting new dogs, and making sure they have the fun walks they deserve! I would love to meet you and your pet. I’m working from home and so is my partner, Annabel, so between us we will always be able to look after your pet in the days and evenings and overnight if needed. I have a dog who will love to have your dog as company, he is very relaxed and friendly and gets along with big and small dogs and puppys. I will be home the whole time with the dogs and have lots of comfy places for them to relax. If they need any medicine or any special things just let me know.

About: I have had my own dog (who has now sadly passed away) which has Degenerative myelopathy (DM) so I have had experience with dogs with disabilities. I now have a indoor/outdoor cat (not living in Liverpool - at home in essex) which i am always looking after at home :) I am a student at University of Liverpool with a low demand degree (business management) so i am often available and only unavailable during easter and summer break as I will be returning to my home city. I have fenced garden with nice open rooms for your pet to roam while I can keep an eye on them. I live with 6 other university students who are all huge pet lovers and owners (including a veterinarian student). I will take your pet outside for frequent toilet breaks and a walk while giving them lots of cuddles and love too!

About: Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time only on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week. I am able to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and any specific care requirements a pet may have. I always make sure pets receive consistent attention and care as part of my daily schedule. I believe every pet is unique, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether it is feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, or simply providing companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am especially patient with pets that require extra attention, such as young animals, senior pets, or those with special care needs. My goal is to provide a loving and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated and reassured that their pets are in good hands.
