“Annie provided a drop in visit for our dog during the hot weather and was great! Our boy took to her immediately and she provided us with updates and photos to keep our minds at ease. Thank you, Annie!”


About: I’ve taken care of my dog, Teddy since he was a puppy, and have looked after my friend’s dogs frequently too, checking in on them and taking them for walks. I work full-time at a charity during the week but would be available in the evenings and at weekends for dog walking and check-ins. I can be flexible with timings! I would be offering dog check-ins and dog-walking. I could bring my dog, Teddy along for the walk if your dog would like company, but mostly happy to be with them 1-1.

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.

“Not sure if I can do another review. But wanted to show everyone that Georgia is great and I have booked again and will continue to book when needed. Great communication, and updates are fab! And I can tell she really takes care of my kitty. Egbert loves her!”


“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!”


About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues

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: With years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, needs, and communication that goes far beyond basic pet care. My bond with dogs is built on empathy, consistency, and respect—values that shape every aspect of how I nurture, train, and connect with them. What makes me unique is my intuitive approach to individual dog personalities. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Whether it’s building trust with a rescue, managing high-energy breeds, or creating routines that support both mental stimulation and calm, I tailor my approach to each dog’s temperament, age, and background. From daily walks and training reinforcement to grooming, nutrition, and health monitoring, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs, gaining practical knowledge in everything from socialization to medication management. I’m not just experienced—I’m passionate. Dogs aren’t just pets; they’re companions, teachers, and family. That belief drives my commitment to giving them the best life possible. I am available morning noon and night I can also come and walk your dog whenever you need. I can also do long or short term boarding. I’m an active, animal-loving woman with a real passion for spending time with dogs. I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, plus I’m lucky to live near beautiful open fields—ideal for long, enriching walks and plenty of sniffing adventures! I truly understand that dogs are sensitive, social animals who don’t enjoy being left alone. That’s why I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I love to play, cuddle, and simply be present with them, making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and loved at all times.

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.

“We have a very shy and needy cat, Phoebe was amazing and exceeded our expectations. Our cat immediately warmed to her and trusted her even allowing her to be picked up! Thank you so much Phoebe, would highly recommend for anyone looking for a cat sitter x”


“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.”

About: I have had dogs in my family since the age of 13. We had a Briard, Teddy for many years who was an huge dog and was loved very much! My partner has also had dogs in his family since the age of 10 and his family currently have an adorable Shei Tzu called Cookie. We are both active people who go on a walk at least once a day so we would love to assist in taking pressure off of you to walk your dog. We also have already been helping to dog sit for our friends and family when they go on holiday. Your pet will be staying with myself and my boyfriend Charlie. We stay in most weekends (will just need notice). We both work from home in the week and one of us are always home every day of the week. As mentioned we are both active people and walk everyday so would fit in with our schedules. We have a fenced garden which can be used. We have lots of downstairs space with a living room, dining room and kitchen. We can use a crate if needed.

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
