“Timothy asked lots of questions during a meet and greet so he could get to know Angel and how best to take care of her. I haven’t used sitters / walkers for her before, but I felt very comfortable leaving her with him as he has lots of experience with different kinds of dogs. Her first lunchtime walk with him went great (I was out all day) and she was very happy and relaxed when I got home at the end of the day. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”


“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.”


“Anna looked after our cat Lily for a bit over 3 weeks and I can honestly say she genuinely gave the best care possible in her power for our little kitty. Any concerns we had she made sure our minds were at ease and went above and beyond in all of our requests to help make us feel the most comfortable. I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for the best care for their pet and will definitely be having Anna look after our Lily on all future holidays we will have. Thanks again Anna!”


“We asked Dalia to drop in on Moose to give him his lunch and a potty break and play for a few hours. She took good care of him and sent updates.”


About: I have cared for dogs for the past 32 years, and am particularly experienced in looking after anxious dogs, and dogs who require medication. We are grieving the recent loss of our 13 year old family dog, so are keen to welcome other fur babies into our loving home. I am a stay-at-home house wife, so I have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to care for your doggos and give them the love and attention that they deserve. I have a very large and secure garden for your dogs to run around and get plenty of exercise. My home is cozy and open plan therefore I can always keep an eye on your furry friend. Having lived my whole life with pets, I understand how much your dog means to you and how daunting it can be to leave them when you go away. Therefore I will do everything I possibly can to make sure your dog is comfortable, cared for and loved until you return.

“Katie was brilliant! Excellent communication, gave us regular updates with photos our cats Percy and Arthur. We really felt like they were being well looked after in excellent hands :) We’ll definitely be booking Katie for our next holiday!”


About: Hi, I’m a caring and dependable dog lover in Loughton, offering tailored pet sitting, drop-in visits, and fun-filled walks. Whether it’s a cozy overnight stay, a quick check-in, or an energetic stroll, your dog gets the love, attention, and updates they deserve—just like family Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s my full-time passion. I left my previous career to dedicate myself entirely to pet care, and I’ve never looked back. Every day revolves around giving dogs the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I live in an extremely spacious two-floor flat that's secure, cozy, and set up for your dog’s comfort. Just seconds from my door are acres of open green space—perfect for daily walks, sniffing adventures, and playtime. On weekends, I take my own dog (and any furry guests who want to join) on longer countryside treks for that extra bit of excitement and enrichment. Whether it’s an overnight stay, a drop-in visit, or a fun walk, your pup will be treated like family in a safe, loving environment. You’ll also get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in the best hands.

“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!”


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.

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!

“Kim did a fab job caring for my rabbits, she was happy to visit them each day even though they are not the usual cat or dog. She came to check everything prior to us going away and kept in touch while we were away. She was easy to contact. Will definitely use again :)”


About: Growing up in Italy, dogs were an integral part of my life. With two German Shepherds by my side, I learned the joy and loyalty these furry companions bring. At 13, we welcomed a mixed-breed pup from a shelter, who became family for a remarkable 17 years, teaching me compassion and responsibility. Twelve years ago, I moved to the UK, but my love for dogs never waned. I often found myself dog-sitting for friends, cherishing every moment spent with these amazing creatures. Two years back, I made another trip to Italy, this time to rescue a dog from a shelter. Now, this furry friend brings happiness not only to my life but also to my parents'. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from a genuine passion for dogs and a desire to give them the love and care they deserve. With a lifetime of experience and a heart full of affection for these furry pals, I'm committed to ensuring their well-being and happiness while their owners are away. Being a pet sitter isn't just a job; it's a way of life fueled by my lifelong bond with dogs. I work from home most of the time, allowing me to provide attentive care for your dog throughout the day. I am available from 7 AM and can feed and walk your dog before starting my work. During my lunch break, I take them out for a short walk, and after 5 PM, I give them a longer walk. I can also provide dinner if needed. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I have a medium-sized, fenced garden that is completely safe for dogs of all sizes, including small breeds. I do not use pesticides in my garden and ensure that there are no hazardous materials or items either outside or inside the house. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I take every measure to provide a secure environment for them.

“Great experience! Sze Ling was super patient and nice with Bruno given that he could be a bit timid. My flight was cancelled so it was really short notice when I needed Sze Ling’s help in extending the services but she’s amazing and very accommodating ☺️ super happy!!”


“Amy was nothing short of excellent in every respect with our kittens, constantly in communication, lovely photos and genuine care provided. She was constantly flexible and understanding and so respectful of our home, I would recommend highly in all areas! We’re already booked for our next trip away ☺️”


About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From rats guinea pigs mice and cats my whole youth. I then got a dog at the age of 17 with my partner and then another dog and most recently…another dog. I am a dog mum of 3 and love them unconditionally!!!! I would do absolutely anything in this world to protect dogs I genuinely love them so much. Most of my days are spent outside with the dogs. I studied dog nutrition so my dogs all get their own diet. I will give you updates and can reassure you that they will be getting a cuddle 🥰 I currently work 4 days a week however. I have intentions on working with dogs full time. I have started my own dog “Barkery” and hope to next year open my own shop which will be a doggy day care / bakery. I will either take them out to potty if you live in a flat or I can take them for a pee and play in the garden. Alternatively I can offer a dog walking service also :)

Sunshyne C.
“I can’t recommend Sunshyne enough! She looked after my American bulldog over the weekend while I was away at a wedding, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was professional, and clearly experienced with big dogs. My bulldog can be a bit of a handful, he’s strong, and he tends to bark a lot, especially with new people, but Sunshyne handled him with confidence and genuine care. To my surprise (and relief) he was absolutely fine with her. She clearly knew how to make him feel comfortable and safe. She took him on a couple of long walks, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made sure he was happy and well-exercised. When I got back, he was content, and clearly well looked after. Thank you, Sunshyne, for giving me peace of mind while I was away, I’ll be calling on you again.”

Jayde N.
“I am a senior practitioner for animal care qualifications and have been working with Jayde since the beginning of my career over 15 years ago. Jayde has not only continuously improved her own understanding and efforts with a range of animals by seeking advice and training from myself, but has often engaged in rescue and rehabilitation efforts for others. As an owner, Jayde is one of, if not the most dedicated dog-mum I’ve yet to meet. There is nothing she would not do for her dogs (or any pets) and this includes all proper welfare and husbandry, as well as above and beyond for exercise and enrichment opportunities. I am always grateful to spend time with Jayde and her dogs, letting them mix with my own, because her dedication and hard work has paid off in the form of very happy and healthy pets. Jayde is someone who does not take risks when it comes to the safety of the animals in her care and plans and prepares for every contingency. If I were to leave my dogs with anyone, I would choose her every time. Hannah Kent BSc (hons) MSc PGCE A1 MRSB”
