“I couldn’t recommend Molly enough! This is the first time we have ever left Bounty and Molly sent us photos of him whilst we were out and updated us with what they’ve been up to. 100% put my mind at ease.”


About: I had grown up with cats, I have had cats always. I can make them feel secure and at ease. I know natural remedies. I can play games and I understand their body language. I have a good hand with them. I don't have family commitments. I can travel as work allows me to be mobile. I'm considerate for their well being, I can read body language and I keep a good safe environment I make sure that they are comfortable and secure with me there. All their needs are met. I respect their personal space. I LOVE CATS!

“Tia took such great care of Chronos and Thea while I was away! She came by ahead of the visit to meet them and take Chronos for a walk to make sure they were comfy together. She sent so many amazing photos and kept me up to date on how things were going. I could tell everybody was comfortable together and having a great time. I would absolutely book pet care with Tia again, and recommend her to others looking for their pets and their space to be well cared for.”


“Amelia has been an absolute God Send. I was so worried about leaving Biggie with Chess having suddenly passed away and she has gone above and beyond to make him happy and comfortable and check with me to make sure what she’s doing is correct. Perfectly happy to leave her alone in my house and give her a key. Great communication. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better!!! ☺️”


About: I’ve taken care of mainly dogs and cats; but do have experience with small mammals, birds and fish. Have grown up with pets and have 2 cats of my own now. Who are over 10 yrs old. Have dog and cat sat for family and friends over the last 10 years I am available early morning and evenings daily, I am home Friday to Monday, but have a flexible lifestyle as a self employed gardener and looking to do more work with animals. I am the primary care giver to my cats; feeding, litter trays, claws, fleeing, vet appointments etc. as well as cuddling, and playing. 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 have loved dogs all my life. I regularly walk my sisters dog as my one sadly passed a few years ago. I’m patient and caring and just need my dog fix! I have recently been made redundant and trying to restart my self employed beauty business. I’m flexible and willing to help out where I can! I am confident with dogs and safety is number 1 to me. Anything you require me to do for your dog I will do with the most care.


“As always, Marta did a wonderful job with our slightly mad rescue dog! If Marta is available again we will definitely rebook. I thing our dog prefers Marta to us 🤣”


“Kery looked after my cat Leo while house sitting, and he absolutely loved her! She gave him lots of attention, sent me regular updates with photos and videos, and left the house super clean. I’m really happy with everything, and so is Leo! Will definitely book her again 😊”


“Dylan was well looked after. Photos send while we were away to keep us updated.”


About: I have volunteered at a dog training school where I helped owners learn how to teach their dog basic Obdience. And occasionally walking dogs if needed I am currently fully booked until the 31st - 12th August. But after that date I have loads of availability. So feel free to drop me a message! When I am out walking your dog (s) I will ask if you have any preferences to where we go, I will try and work to the best of my abilities to suit their needs.

“Alice was great - had a meet beforehand - left them for the evening on a hot day - biggie was calm and content when I got home 😊”


About: I have grown up with dogs around me, from Spaniels, Cockapoo's and Staffies and always love having a dog around for company. I have looked after many families and friends' dogs over the last few years, and would love to make it a more regular thing. You can trust that I will take the very best care of your dog day and night, and happy to share heaps of pictures and videos throughout the day, so you can relax knowing they are having a great time. I am a working professional currently working in the office maximum. 3 days per week, one of which is usually a Monday. I am also generally home on the weekends, so can be fully flexible to dog walk, sit or board. I live in a large one bedroom first floor apartment, with garden at the front and whilst I may not have outdoor space, I am an active person with a goal to achieve 10,000 steps each day. Whether that is setting me up for the day with a coffee walk, a lunchtime walk to take a break from my desk or an evening walk to unwind... I like to get outdoors and in the fresh air as much as your dog does! Living in Sawbridgeworth, I am spoilt for choice with walks around Pishiobury Park, nearby fields or a stroll along the river, so your dog will not be far from a good run and play on the grass. I live in a secure apartment, with several of my neighbours having dogs so it is a dog friendly building. When I work from home your dog won't ever be left for an extended period and if I have plans, I will be sure to check in advance that you are comfortable for a couple of hours. I prefer to take only one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family, and happy for your dog to roam freely in the apartment so they feel comfortable.

About: I work full time but my role is fully remote, meaning I can be your fur baby 24/7 providing all the love and snuggles they deserve! With my role being remote, I thought I’d use it as an opportunity to spend time with some gorgeous little creatures and help out pet parents. I know first hand how stressful it can be trying to find care for your fur babies when you go away! I’ve got a lot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes having grown up with rescues all my life. I also have a lot of experience caring for others pets including cats, I always tend to be the one my friends and family go to when they need a pet sitter as they all know how animal mad I am and will always jump at the chance to care for any animal! This has lead to them recommending me to the wider public helping me build a sizeable portfolio of pet sitting. I work full time but my role is fully remote, so I can be there to provide constant love and fuss for your pets 24/7. I am a genuine animal lover and truly believe your pets are family. I do everything within my power to ensure pets are cared for exactly how their owners have requested. I honestly see it as a privilege and a treat to give an abundance of love and cuddles to any creature!

Shannon M.
“Shannon was a godsend I have three large breed dogs 2,6 &9 years old ,and after looking at many kennels but not feeling comfortable leaving them there as they would be split Shannon came to my rescue as such. I was able to leave them in their own environment which gave me great peace of mind. Shannon looked after them for 15 days over Christmas. She sent me regular updates and pictures whilst we were away. I left a comprehensive list of their requirements whilst we were away which were more than met by Shannon. She was very respectful of my home and looked after it like her own. As my breeds were large dogs we done a meet and greet before we were to leave to make sure both Shannon and the dogs were comfortable with each other. I have no qualms in highly recommending Shannon as an excellent dog sitter My dogs adored her. I will most definitely be using her again .”
