“Olivia helped to dog sit our new rescue dog and was fantastic! It was the first time us having a dog sitter but she made us feel at ease as was really friendly and quick to reply. Olivia also kindly sent us lots of photo updates which helped to give us peace of mind :) I’d highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter!”


2. Beverley P.

“I can highly recommend Beverley, Monty clearly loved her visits as you could see from the photos and updates. We found it very reassuring that someone who clearly cares about animals cared for our boy. Thank you so much .”

“Thank you Victoria for turning out on NYE for Maisie, she looks like she enjoyed your visit.”


4. Ana Sofia D.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Ana look after my cat, Winston Purrchill, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! From the outset, Ana demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and a genuine love for animals. During our initial meeting, they took the time to get to know Winston, asking about his preferences, routine, and any special care he might need. It was clear they were dedicated to providing the best experience for my fur baby. While I was away, I received regular updates and adorable photos of Winston lounging around and enjoying playtime. It was heartwarming to see how comfortable he was in her care. Ana even went the extra mile by following his feeding schedule and ensuring he had plenty of playtime and cuddles. When I returned home, Winston was happy and relaxed, which is a testament to Ana’s wonderful care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pets. Thank you for taking such great care of my beloved Winston!”

About: I have a huge love for animals, for as long as I can remember I have always helped friends and family with pet care needs and would love to help others too. 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!

About: 4* Council Registered home boarder Licence number AAL/24/00354-25-26, 2years professional experience house/pet sitting in your own home. I hold my own insurance. I live in Harlow, with my family. I have 5 children who adore animals of all shapes and sizes. I provide pet sitting in your own home, ensuring your pet and property are cared for whilst you are away. Alternatively I can provide shorter, drop in visits during the day. I am able to board small pets in my own home. I am licensed to care for dogs in my own home. Only dogs from the same household or family households will be care for at any one time, ensuring your dog(s) have 100% of my time and attention. All dogs must undergo a trial visit to ensure both my family and your dog are happy and enjoy their experience. I can provide ad-hoc dog walks. As an animal lover, I understand that additional care may be needed whilst you work, have a day out or holiday. I will treat your pet with respect, kindness and patience, lending a helping hand to a pet in need of TLC. This isn't just a hobby, but my profession. I do have a busy household and work my schedule around day to day life. I am available 7 days a week. When pet sitting, I never leave your pet or home unattended for more than 4hours (I am able to accommodate dogs that cannot be left or can be left for shorter/longer periods) When dog boarding, someone will always be home. My husband is covered on my own private insurance and he holds the same informal training as myself. Every owner has their own expectations and routines for their pet, I am here to provide the best service for you and your pet. At our meet and greet we will discuss your pets usual daily routine which I aim to adhere to throughout mine or their stay.


16. Nicole L.
“Nicole has looked after our 2 dogs (as well as our chickens) on a number of occasions, ranging from weekends to full weeks when we go abroad. She is both responsive before and during the stays, responsible whilst she is at our home, making sure the dogs are well looked after, through enrichment & exercise, and highlights any concerns when they arise (any health issues that she might notice). All this said, it gives peace of mind that our dogs are in safe hands when we’re away. As a house guest, Nicole is clean and considerate. Anyone booking Nicole will benefit from her high level of care and years of dog walking experience.”


17. Sarah W.

“Sarah did a wonderful job of looking after Roxi and Heidi while we were away for the night. Came in when we asked her to and sent pics so we were assured all was well. Will recommend her.”
