House Sitting Finchingfield

“Harriet was an absolute lifesaver as another dog sitter who we had previously booked well in advance of an event gave us zero correspondence in the lead up to it, we got on Rover and Harriet organised to meet our dog Mable super quick and then sat for us just a week or so later, Harriet was fantastic and helped at such short notice!”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She watched my dogs for two weeks and kept me updated every step of the way with regular messages and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Katie and would gladly trust her with my dogs again!”

About: I have a big love for animals and have spare time so want to help others and look after their loved animals and care for them. I look after my friends and families cats and dogs on a regular basis so have experience with different breeds and want to help others have the opportunity to go away on holiday or going to work and relax knowing their baby is getting a home from home experience in a relaxed environment. I work from home most days and if I need to go into the office I have a flexible timetable so would be out the house for no more than 4 hours but also happy to accommodate to your timings of each pet. I am also happy to take them out to places with me if this is something your pet is familiar with. I live in a house with a private fenced/brick wall garden. I have a park next to my house and multiple walks around my area with a mixture of fields, grass and pavement environments. I also have a car so am happy to take out with owners permission I also send photos and updates to the owners to let them know there babies are in safe hands

About: Hi! I’m a genuine dog lover who enjoys spending time with pups of all sizes. While new to formal dog sitting, I’ve cared for dogs before and understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and stick to your dog’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am a working professional who has 2 WFH days per week. My weekends are either crammed with walks and mini adventures or resting away the Sunday roast! So I can match all energy levels. Either way would love the company. Can send regular updates and will always confirm with you your companions routines and needs to ensure the dog sitting feels to them like a little holiday! I have a ground floor flat with a private garden set back from the main road in a quiet little cluster of properties. Happy to take companions on a walk locally or further afield or around their own stomping ground.

“Dogs were happy and well cared for Charlotte done a very good job of looking after them they weren’t stressed just relaxed I would always recommend her”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and absolutely love having them around! 🐾 I currently work fully remotely from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. I have a huge garden with lots of space to explore and play, and I’m a big walker myself, so I’m always happy to have a four-legged companion join me on my walks. I also love photography, so there’s a very good chance you’ll receive some cute photos of your pup enjoying their little holiday with me! 📸🐶 I have plenty of experience with dogs of different breeds, personalities and backgrounds. I was involved with Seeing Eye/guide dogs for over 7 years and have also owned rescue dogs for more than 15 years, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m more than happy to follow whatever rules you have at home so that your dog’s routine stays consistent. Equally, if your pup is used to being on the sofa, sleeping on the bed or generally making themselves completely at home, that’s absolutely fine with me! I’m currently dog-free, which is actually one of the reasons I love dog sitting so much. I really miss having the company of dogs around and genuinely enjoy being able to give them a home-from-home while their owners are away. ❤️ I work fully remotely from home, so pet care fits really naturally into my everyday routine. My schedule is flexible, meaning I can easily accommodate regular toilet breaks, feeding times, walks, playtime and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m naturally an early riser and love walking, so morning and evening walks are easy to build around your dog’s usual routine. I also have a large garden for regular outdoor breaks, play and exploring throughout the day. I play sports on two evenings a week and football on Sundays, so I’m occasionally out for around 2–2.5 hours at a time. If your dog is happy and comfortable in that environment, they’re also very welcome to come along and watch from the sidelines! Otherwise, I’ll make sure they’ve been walked, settled and comfortable before I leave. As I’m home for the vast majority of the day, your dog will have lots of company and I’m very happy to adapt my routine around what they’re used to at home. 🐾 I have a large, fully fenced garden, although the fence at the back isn’t particularly high, so dogs who are keen jumpers will always be closely supervised while outside. I’m happy to crate dogs where this is part of their normal routine, as I’ve owned and cared for crate-trained dogs before. I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra support, whether that’s with toilet training, medication or anxiety. I’m patient and happy to follow your routines, boundaries and instructions to make sure your dog feels safe, settled and at home with me. 🐾

“Hannah is really lovely! Tosca really liked her from the fist moment. Hannah is reliable and responsible and nice to deal with. She also is great for our flexible lifestyle. Will definitely ask her again.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Oliver provided for my dogs! He was attentive, reliable, and truly cared for Cash and Opie as if they were his own. My dogs were happy, well-fed, and clearly enjoyed their time together. The updates and photos were a great touch, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Oliver to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog watcher!””

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, looking after friends’ and family pets with love, attention, and trust. From walking and feeding to bathing and playing, I ensure every dog feels happy, safe, and pampered. I’m also first aid pet trained, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable hands. I live with my partner, Luke, in the beautiful Essex countryside, with stunning walks right on our doorstep—the perfect setting for your dog to explore, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. Although we don’t have our own dog due to work, we make up for it with lots of love, attention, and playtime for every guest. I’m more than happy to arrange a meet and greet so you and your pet can feel comfortable before staying. During their time with us, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can see just how much fun they’re having. Your dog will experience a true “home away from home” with us. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! We are available on our “out of office” days for dog boarding, Friday evenings from 5pm and all day Saturday, Sundays and Bank Holidays too. Your dog’s safety is our top priority. We have a medium-sized, fully gated and fenced garden with plenty of grassed and shaded areas where your dog can safely play and explore. Your pet will always be supervised while outdoors, and we make sure the environment is safe and comfortable. I’m also first aid pet trained, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your dog is in capable hands should any minor accidents occur.

About: Hi, I'm Connie, a 26 year old nutrition student looking to meet and care for your gorgeous doggies like my own! I have owned my energetic female Vizsla for the past 8 years, so I'm very familiar with the needs of active, intelligent dogs with big personalities! I also had a much loved cat for 15 years, giving me experience caring for both dogs and cats throughout different stages of life. I live in a beautiful rural area just outside Felsted, conveniently located near Chelmsford, Braintree and Great Dunmow. Being surrounded by countryside means I have plenty of experience walking dogs in a variety of outdoor settings. I am most comfortable with small to medium sized dogs and always prioritise safety during walks. For this reason, I prefer on lead walking, whether using a short lead or a longer training lead, depending on your dog's needs and your preferences. I'm currently looking to build relationships with local owners who require regular and reliable dog sitting or walking services. I am happy to offer overnight stays for local clients within approximately 15 miles of Felsted. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I will always treat your dog with the same care, patience and attention that I give my own. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss your dog's needs or arrange a meet and greet. I have a flexible schedule and can provide short-term pet care services, including dog walks, drop-in visits and day sitting, Monday to Saturday between 8am and 10pm. I also offer overnight and multi-day stays throughout the week, subject to availability and pre-arrangement. For overnight or extended bookings, I kindly ask for at least 3 days' notice wherever possible. I'm happy to discuss your individual requirements and accommodate regular or recurring bookings. I am happy to provide pet care within your home and in local areas for walking services. For owners who prefer, I can also transport dogs in my car to quieter countryside locations for rural walks and enrichment. At present, I do not offer boarding or pet care from my own home. I am most confident caring for small to medium-sized dogs that are friendly, well-socialised and comfortable around people. I am experienced in administering medications, following feeding routines and adapting to any specific medical, mobility or comfort requirements your pet may have. I understand that every animal is unique and will always aim to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs and routine.

About: I have extensive experience looking after family member's and friend's dogs and cats, and have had pet dogs for most of my life. I also have experience caring for a dog with strict medical requirements. I'm currently studying and work from home mostly so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I can be flexible with days and times so can work around requirements if needed. I have great experience following a variety of different requirements for pet care, and can equally be flexible and work with a pet's current needs and requirements.
