Pet Boarding Great Dunmow

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From energetic border collies to affectionate cocker spaniels and playful labradoodles, I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends purely because I love it—it never feels like a chore. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and well cared for. My partner and I both work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re able to be very hands-on, stick to routines, and give lots of care, cuddles, and supervision. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as my partner and I both work from home, so your dog will have constant company and attention throughout the day. We love getting out for walks, whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure, before work, during lunch, and in the evenings, with plenty of lovely local trails to explore. At home, we have a large 150ft garden where we enjoy spending time, giving your dog plenty of space to play, relax, and roam freely in a safe environment. Your dog will be treated as part of our home from the moment they arrive. My partner and I both work from home, so they’ll never be left alone for long and will have plenty of attention, interaction, and supervision throughout the day. We keep things relaxed and tailored to each dog whether they love long walks on the local trails, shorter strolls, or just pottering around the garden. We’re lucky to have a large 150ft garden, which is a big part of our daily routine and gives dogs plenty of safe space to explore, play, or simply relax outside. For overnight boarding, we focus on helping dogs feel settled and comfortable in a new environment. We stick closely to your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, and any specific needs, so everything feels familiar and stress free. We genuinely love having dogs around and regularly care for family and friends’ pets, so creating a calm, safe, and happy environment is something that comes naturally to us.

About: I have had 7 years of experience of owning and caring for dogs. We have a 7 year old English Toy Terrier and have looked after a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and other breeds regularly for a few years now. I will treat your dog/s like our own family when they are with us. That means lots of cuddles on the sofa, and sleeping upstairs if that’s what they are used to. I have a good sized secure garden and will be home all day. If your dog would rather be alone with us then our Ralphie dog will spend time with his second family, my parents. I have two teenagers that also love dogs but are hardly home these days! Visits welcome to see if our home is right for you 🐶 I work Monday-Thursday always from home with the flexibility to work my daily routine around your dog. If you have a set routine, time for walks etc, I will stick to that. House with good sized secure fenced / brick walled garden. Your dog will be treated as our family pet when they are with us. We have dogs and puppies regularly so know how important it is to ensure a safe environment in the house. You can call / video call anytime for peace of mind.

“Our dachshund buddy was looked after so well. Bonny did a great job making him settled in her home. The communication was excellent. We got lots of updates, pictures and videos. It really assured us he was being looked after really well. Thank you Bonny!”

“Iren provided a safe and fun environment for our Rosie with lots of photos and updates of her adventures over the weekend. I would highly recommend Iren and we will certainly be using her again. Thank you Iren.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life, and my approach is simple: I give them all the love, care, and attention they need, regardless of their size, character, or age. My main priority is always to keep your pet happy and comfortable! Currently, I'm a university student, and pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as an occasional, part-time activity. It's truly the highlight of my week—a wonderful way to de-stress and enjoy some time away from studying! I live in a house with a lovely outdoor garden space with lots of parks nearby! It's an ideal spot for any pet to relax and feel right at home. I’m happy to be flexible; whether you’d prefer me to look after your pet at my place or theirs, I will gladly tailor a routine that perfectly matches your dog's needs! As a student, my schedule can vary from week to week but is usually pretty flexible. I edit my availability on rover regularly, feel free to message me + ask any questions! :) I am happy to walk your dog as much as needed to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Whether your pet prefers lounging inside or active outdoor time!

“Gabriella did an amazing job looking after Callie, with great communications and updates. I felt super relaxed leaving her for the weekend, would definitely book again. Thank you so much once again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, two Hungarian vizlas and my family has two very sassy sausages! have looked after older dogs, and also younger, I looked after two puppy pointers for two weeks so I understand the challenges that come with puppies. I’m a photographer and therefore love to take my camera out to get some great shots of the dogs in action! I work part time so have plenty of free weekdays, mornings work best. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are completely free days, and the occasional weekend are free. I live in a very secure house in elsenham with a fenced garden, being in Elsenham means there’s lots of lovely dog walking areas as well which I love. I work remotely Monday to Wednesday and have Thursday and Friday off so am quite flexible! I sometimes head to Devon so would need at least a couple of days notice if dog care needed. I have a fenced garden so your dog will be safe at all times. I work downstairs so your dog will have company at all times as well :)

About: Apart from looking after my own home back in the UK - cleaning, maintaining and everything inbetween! I have looked after other family members homes whilst they were away. I have also lived in about 10 sharehouses during my university, global internships and my 4 years in Australia so I feel like i know the drill and don’t get overwhelmed by new places etc. Believe in the motto to leave the house as it was found, if not better. I love the idea of living and experiencing new places and having the added bonus of looking after a fluffy one! I have just moved back to the UK after living in Australia for 6 years and am currently living with my parents whilst I sort longer term accomodation. In the meantime I am keen to spend some time away from home and think house sitting provides the perfect opportunity as I also love furry companions 😂 I work remotely for Ferrero (free chocolate!) 9-5, so will always be in looking after your lovely house (and pet!) I have looked after many cats/dogs/rabbits in Australia and grew up with two fluff balls myself so know the drill. Happy to send you photos of your loved one to keep in touch whilst you are away too. I have a large fenced garden and live in the countryside, with plenty of walks to take your pets on, and a nice warm house with my Mum and Dad to provide all the cuddles as needed.
