“Sunshyne was marvelous with Mouse, establishing a connection very quickly and I felt very confident putting Mouse in her care while I was out. Many thanks Sunshyne!”

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.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and honestly can’t imagine life without them🥰 Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each of their personalities. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds including Cocker Spaniels, Belgian Malinois, Shih Tzus, Springer Spaniels, and French Bulldogs, so I’m really comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own and just want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me 🐶❤️ I work full time during the week, but I’m available from Friday evening (6pm) through to Sunday to spend quality time with your dog. Weekends for me are all about walks, playtime, and relaxing together, making sure they feel comfortable and at home. I always aim to create a calm, happy environment where your dog feels settled and well cared for! I live in a dog-friendly flat with a secure fenced garden and no other dogs, so it’s a relaxed space for your dog to settle in. We’re just a short walk from a large field and close to Epping Forest, perfect for walks and fresh air. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, including any diet or medication, to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I will always keep you updated with doggy pics and updates throughout their stay❤️

“Emilie is so great! She was so lovely and communicative, so helpful and really trust her with my cats. They also seemed to love her so couldn’t recommend more 🫶”

“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!”

“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”

“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.❤️”

About: I have had dogs most of my life as well as looking after other people’s dogs. I have a very well behaved cavalier who would like the company of doggy buddies. We like to have lots of walks. I work from home so am available at all times for well behaved dogs. I have an enclosed garden and can take dogs out regularly for walks long or short. I can offer boarding most nights. I have an enclosed garden that dogs can access at all times. I have wooden floors so messes are not stresses! I can accommodate most needs, just ask.

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.

“Kim was very good with my older cats and I had peace of mind while I was away. She sent me updates, pictures and cute videos. They were well looked after and she made sure that Milo had his medicine twice a day. I will definitely be booking Kim again. Thank you Kim.”

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!

“Jane was wonderful looking after our 3 dogs. They all looked very happy when she came to visit! She was great understanding our instructions and we really appreciated all the photos and communication. Will definitely be using again!”

About: I’m Isabella and what started as a hobby a few years ago, helping out family and friends with their dogs, is now my full-time job. I honestly feel so lucky to do something I truly love every day! My love for dogs started with my own - Lola. I’ve had her since I was a child, and now at 11 she’s still full of life and definitely my baby! She’s got the sweetest, chilled nature, loves her grub and is a total princess🥹😂 My priority is keeping your fur babies happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether your dog needs a quick stroll, a long adventure, or just some extra love and attention while you’re busy, I’m here to help! Your dog will be treated like one of my own - with care & patience, and of course, including lots of fun! ✔️ Fully insured ✔️ Dog training qualification ✔️ Dog first aid trained ✔️ DBS checked Mon-Fri 2:30pm onwards I’m already fully booked. So for dog walking I’m available Mon-Fri mornings/midday & weekend upon request. For dog sitting I am available, however would be out 5hrs in the afternoon. I do not care for dogs in my own home - I dog-sit at owners homes. Dogs normally feel most comfortable in their own home and I like to do what’s best for your fur babies!

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.

“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.”

“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: 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.

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.
