House Sitting in Epping Forest

“We have had the pleasure of having Elana look after Elvis in May for 5 nights, and recently for 1week…. She is absolutely amazing…. We was able to fully relax knowing that she was with Elvis the whole time and In his own home. We had photos and videos sent daily of all the walks, baths, cuddles, feeding times, and this was fantastic so we could see how much Elvis was enjoying himself! Elana is exceptionally respectful of our home and left it immaculate for when we came home which was a gift in itself! I couldn’t speak any higher of this fabulous lady! Thank you so much! We all love you loads!”

“Theo is absolutely fantastic, and a joy to have around. We rarely leave our cats alone, and she made us feel so at ease! We are so so grateful, and our cats are happy and healthy. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter : ) Would definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve grown up in a home with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and understand their needs and behaviors. I’ve also cared for my neighbor’s cat while they were away, making sure she was fed, happy, and safe. While I may not have professional experience yet, I bring genuine care, patience, and attention to every pet I look after. I'm excited to build trusted connections with pets and their owners. Now that I’ve finished university, I have full availability to dedicate to pet care. With a completely open schedule, I can be flexible with walk times, drop in visits and overnight stays. I’m currently walking a regular client a few times a week, but I’m absolutely open to taking on more dogs! I’m excited to spend my summer giving pets the attention, play and care they deserve with no distractions. I care for pets in their own home to keep them feeling safe and comfortable in a familiar space. I follow all instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, cleaning up, administering medication, or just keeping them company. On walks, I always make safety a priority by using secure leashes, avoiding hazards and adjusting the pace based on each pet’s needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“Kipper had a great time with Daniela. We got multiple updates about their adventures every day. We are lucky to have found Daniela and we thoroughly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Thanks again ❤️🙏”

About: I love animals and the outdoors. I would love to go for walks and have company during the day. I have started a job where I will be working at home so looking for a dog that I can keep company and take for walks on my lunch break or before/after work. I would be available for walks or even just to dog sit during the day. I have a large bedroom and small backyard for day sitting. I grew up on a small block of land in New Zealand with dogs, cats, sheep, cows, goats, chickens and many other animals. Since being overseas I miss having animals around so would love to look after your dog when you are busy. Please let me know if you are looking for somebody during these times. I work from home Tuesdays and Friday so am available to dog sit during the day. I am also available for dog walking before 8.00 and after 5pm Mon-Fri. I am also available some weekends. I have a large large house with a small backyard. I have two other housemates who are sometimes around. Both love animals however I would be with them at all times.

“April & Kevin came to house sit for a week - Clara our rescue dog is a sensitive large dog who gets anxious easily - they not only managed her anxieties but she unfortunately got sick and then also got an ear infection and they managed amazingly - sorted her out, kept us updated and reassured us everything was under control. Clara, like many dogs, is a great judge of character - she loved them both instantly and was really relaxed around them - we came home to a very calm dog despite the weeks challenges! Credit to them both.”

“Nicole is a fantastic sitter - she’s a great communicator and absolutely loves dogs. She took such great care of my dog, catered to his needs and also took great care of my house. I was fully able to relax and came back to a very relaxed dog. Highly recommend, thanks Nicole!”

“Fabulous! Tim looked after our dogs and house beautifully. The dogs loved him and his attention to detail with their care was amazing. He was also wonderfully understandable and flexible when our flight was delayed due to weather conditions, ensuring that the everything was under control and we could journey back stress free. Can't rate him highly enough!”

About: I’ve been around animals and grown up with them all my life. I’ve had different breeds, big and small, so any dogs are not a problem, no matter how naughty. I currently work in an office in Hoddesdon from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. I am free after work during the week and all day on the weekends. I will not be able to care for pets in my own home due to already having two cats and family. But am more than happy to enforce any safety rules you have in your own home.

About: Hi I’m Anita! 👋 and I’m a big animal lover. I recently decided to take a sabbatical year off work and dedicate time to pet care and volunteering with animals. My experience includes taking care of 2 small/medium dogs and a puppy (🥹) that I met on another pet app, my friend’s frenchie and 2 cats and my other friend’s cat. I’ve lived at their house and taken good care of the pets, including individual play time, meal preparation, bathing, cuddling, brushing, litter cleaning and walkies. I’ve also walked my friend’s 10-month-old Labrador a few times before they moved outside London. I grew up in the countryside of northern Italy, surrounded by animals and small farms, before moving to the UK nine years ago. My grandparents used to have a German shepherd mix, my adjacent neighbour had a husky mix that became my sister’s and my favourite companion during school breaks and plenty of my friends I used to hang out with owned dogs, cats, rabbits and fishes. I’m off work at the moment on a sabbatical year, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I’m happy to take walks, do visits throughout the day or stay overnight at your pet's house. I prefer to walk pets locally, but if you are willing to pay a bit more for transport, I can accommodate requests that are farther too :). For overnight stays, it doesn't really matter; I'll be willing to travel. I’m off work at the moment, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I’m happy to take walks and pet sit throughout the day. I'd prefer to walk pets and do house visits locally, but if you are willing to pay a bit more for transport, I can accommodate further away requests too :). For overnight stays or whole house sitting days, it doesn't really matter where you live, I'll be willing to travel. I have always been attentive to pets’ needs, I strive to understand as best as I can the way each of them communicates with me through their body language.

“Emily did an excellent job with Bruce- we will be rebooking!”

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 live in a flat with my partner, Tuan, who is also a pet lover! We both have many years of experience caring for pets, started when we were kids! My friends have relied on me to pet-sit whenever they’re on holiday, and most pet owners describe me as 'patient' - with that said I always make sure that their needs are met at that time! I have experience sitting pets of various ages from 8 months old to 13 years old, so I am extremely comfortable in handling their needs. Depending on the needs of our furry friends, my energy can be matched. If they are high energy that requires long walks, let's run to the park! And if they are laid back, let's just chill by the sofa/bench with a nice book and cuppa :) On top of meeting their needs, I make sure they are kept clean at all times, meaning making sure their paws and pee-pee are wiped down after walks to get any mud/grass seeds, and to brush their coats whenever needed. I am also a great communicator, I always make sure to send pet-owners regular photos and/or videos during our activities and any alarming behaviours that need attention. I've also ended up becoming really good friends with one of the pet-owners I've met on Rover, which means I get to see/look after our furry friend a lot more regularly :) BIG win! All-in-all, I attend to their needs. If there's a strict schedule, I will always try to shift things around and accommodate it. My partner and I both work remotely most days, so we will be able to attend to the pets needs at all times. I am an early riser, so I am usually good to take your furry friend out for a walk whilst it’s still less crowded on the pavement/in the park. My partner and I also enjoy evening walks after dinner, so rest assured that our friend will have the chance to do his/her final wee of the day before bed. I have several parks near my flat so those are great areas for them to roam and play! I have a large space and living room at home. The pet would have a good amount of space to walk around to enjoy themselves whilst I work. I am also comfortable with allowing our friends to sleep, lay in my bed if that’s needed. There are also many areas to walk around where I live - Victoria Park, London Fields, Weavers Fields, Bethnal Green Gardens, Museum Greens, Paradise Gardens, Haggerston Park etc. this allows our furry friend ample amounts of spots to visit!!
