“Annie was great with Koji from the moment she met him and I could tell he was at ease around her so felt really comfortable. During her visit with Koji, Annie kept me well informed and sent photo updates and I could see Koji was really happy and being well cared for. I highly recommend Annie and I look forward to next time she can look after Koji as he clearly is a fan too.”

About: Hi, I’m Jenette, I’m a proud stay-at-home dog mum, so animals are a big part of my everyday life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. For over 13 years, I’ve shared my home with three amazing family dogs, including supporting one through a healthy litter of seven puppies—an experience that taught me even more about patience, care, and the unique needs of dogs at every life stage. giving me hands-on experience with all aspects of care—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. I’ve also been a cat mum for over 30 years, so I truly understand the unique quirks and comforts our feline friends need too. Because I’m home full-time, I’m able to give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve—whether it’s for a quick walk, pop-in visit, or overnight care. Friends and neighbours often trust me to care for their pets, and I always treat them like part of the family. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands with me—whether you’re heading out for the day or away on a longer trip, I’m here to help you (and them!) feel at ease. 🏡 I live in a terraced house with a secure, 6ft fenced-in garden, perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Because I’m home all day, your pet will get constant care, companionship, and attention.
“Alfie and smudge enjoyed their time with Eleanora. Thank you so much. Will definitely book again”

I work full time but have occasional work from home days one day a week at least, weekend availability and dog walking opportunities as I also take my own dogs for walks of around 2-3.5k twice daily. I have a house with 2 gardens that are enclosed, 2 small dogs myself to keep your fur baby company and for that extra social interaction, I also live within short walking distance of fields and woodland areas to take your dog on some lovely long walks!

So I am able to do all the above for anyone else’s pets that I care for.

About: I’ve always been passionate about pets since I was very young and I couldn’t wait until I got older so I could get a dog of my very own. Almost 7 years ago I got my sweet cockapoo Nala she has changed my life in the most amazing way. She is reactive and it has definitely been a journey working with her to help give us both a better quality of life. Through my journey with Nala I have learned a lot of patience, compassion and empathy I’ve also learnt how to be extremely alert. I have cared for many of my family’s pets and am passionate and ready to help the wider public with the knowledge and skills I have gained in almost 5 years. I have also recently completed and achieved extensive knowledge through a trusted pet sitting and dog walking course. I’m nearing the end of my dog trainer course through The Dog Training college a positive reinforcement company giving me extensive knowledge on dog behaviour. I’m happy to say I am available most days during working hours after I finish work at 12 so normally (12-7) with enough warning I’m quite flexible to help when needed for overnight stays and visits. I offered pet visits and pet care in your home and I will care for your pet like it’s my own I will ask for the pets routine and where the pet stays while you are away and I will follow those instructions to give you peace of mind while away from your pet. With my near qualifications as a dog trainer it helps me to assess and make sure your dog is as safe as possible.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—cats, dogs, and everything in between—and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and pace, and I’m always patient and respectful of that. Whether it’s going for a walk, giving belly rubs, playing fetch, or just being there for quiet company, I love connecting with pets and making them feel safe and loved. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own—with kindness, attention, and care. I’m currently working from home so have a lot of availability through the week and on weekends if needed. Can drive a reasonable distance from Harlow i have a fully secure garden. With one small dog in the house, no children. I’m a very responsible dog owner and often care for friends and family animals
