“Taylor is an amazing pet sitter and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gives our Frenchies, Remi and Buster. She is very friendly, caring, and pays so much attention to our babies. She spends time playing with them, keeps them happy, and she is always there for them.You can really see that Taylor is a true animal lover. When we come home, Remi and Buster are calm, relaxed, happy ,and clearly feel comfortable and loved. We really appreciate everything she does and we feel very lucky to have someone like her looking after them. Thank you so much, Taylor ! 🐾 🐾”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Oliver provided for my dogs! He was attentive, reliable, and truly cared for Cash and Opie as if they were his own. My dogs were happy, well-fed, and clearly enjoyed their time together. The updates and photos were a great touch, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Oliver to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog watcher!””

About: I am a professional pet sitter and have been set up as a business “Pet Sitting By Nicola” since August 2018. I began as predominantly a live-in overnight pet sitter, but I can now offer regular weekly dog walks and pet visits, along with ad hoc walks and visits. The pet visits I offer can include feeding, medication, health checks, dog walks, pop in visits for toilet breaks, company and enrichment activities. I have completed my Canine and Feline first aid certificates, a pet sitting diploma and many other canine qualifications with the Dog training college including certificates in separation anxiety, reactive dogs, rescue dogs, and dog psychology/behaviour. I have an additional 3 years experience in pet sitting prior to setting up my business (overnight and day sits) for friends and family. I also have 3 years experience dog walking on a voluntary basis for elderly and terminally ill hospice patients via St Nicholas Hospice and Our special Friends animal charity. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs with the majority of dog breeds. I have experience caring for dogs with joint disease including IVDD, Hip Dysplasia, Arthritis, as well as paralysed dogs and those recovering from surgery. I can help with other animals too including birds, small furries, reptiles and some farm animals including goats, ducks and pigs. I live in your home looking after your pets overnight, replicating their normal routine to ensure they are settled and content. I will need to go out for approx. 4 hours over the lunch periods for dog walks, along with a couple of hours morning and evening for personal errands and short pet visits. But should your pet require more company this may be possible on selected dates for an extra hourly charge. I take good care of peoples properties and I clean up after myself. As well as providing care for your pet, I offer security for your home. I follow the clients instructions to care for their pets, and I can offer quality time in the hours I’m home with the pets giving company, walks, enrichment and play. I include small tasks around the house like putting bins out, collecting post, taking in deliveries, and 5 minutes of plant watering. Should more plant watering be required I can offer this for an additional charge.

About: I have grown up with and always loved animals. I regularly look after dogs of varying breeds (and personalities) for friends and family which I absolutely love. My experience varies from stubborn Huskies to yappy Jack Russel's to needy Siamese cats while also loving my own boisterous Labrador. This also varies in age, from my own 1 year old Labrador who we have had since a puppy, to more senior dogs who prefer a slower pace of life. I am understanding of the fact that different breeds and ages have different needs and requirements when it comes to daily care and I am always happy to incorporate this into their daily routine. Please feel free to message me for anymore information or any questions you may have. I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so will be around all day. I have a Labrador of my own, so we are in the routine of letting the dog out regularly, providing two walks a day and doing regular check ins to make sure there is plenty of water and all needs are met. Our garden is fully enclosed so the dogs are able to venture in and out as they please. My Labrador is still crated at night, however if your dog does not require crating this is fine. During the day, you dog will never be left for more than two hours. They layout of our house is slightly different, with the living area being on the first floor. This may not always be the best for more senior dogs. If there is any issues with this then please let me know.

“Charlotte is a very engaging and confident dog/house sitter. Our blind rescue dog was very comfortable with her. She has good attention to detail. Highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up with a dog in the family and enjoyed taking care and spending time with dogs ever since. I have experience looking after dogs with different personalities and needs, and I always treat them as my own. I also have a valid DBS certificate for extra peace of mind. I work from home so have some time to spend with pets. I can walk the dogs, play with them and feed them according to the schedule desired I live in a house and have a small garden where dogs can spend their time. Plenty of parks to take them for a walk around too

“Dogs were happy and well cared for Charlotte done a very good job of looking after them they weren’t stressed just relaxed I would always recommend her”

About: • I'm an experienced live-in dog and house sitter who offers calm, consistent care, particularly for nervous, sensitive or rescue dogs who need patience and reassurance while their owners are away. • I've gained my experience through many successful house and pet sits, both independently and through TrustedHousesitters (where owners have consistently left excellent reviews). • Some dogs make friends straight away. Others need a little more time. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and helping them feel safe, comfortable and settled while you're away. • I work online (part-time), so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home. This is ideal for dogs who are used to having company or who need a little longer to settle. • I love being outdoors and usually walk twice a day myself. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle sniff around the neighbourhood, I'm happy to adapt to whatever suits them best. • I always stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine, whether that's favourite walking routes, regular mealtimes or simply having a cuddle on the sofa. • I'm based in Colchester and regularly travel throughout London and the South East, with availability across the UK for longer bookings. • I've completed Canine First Aid training and I'm continuing to learn more about canine behaviour and body language because I genuinely enjoy understanding what makes each dog tick. • One of the reasons I started house and pet sitting is that my own rescue dog had such a lasting impact on me. She taught me the value of patience and consistency. After she died, I wasn't ready for another dog of my own, and looking after other people's dogs became a way to stay connected to the animals I love. • I know it's hard leaving your dog with someone new. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip, and I'll always ask how often you'd like to hear from me. * I work online, so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home with them. * Morning walks, longer afternoon adventures or evening strolls, I can easily adapt to whatever routine your dog is used to. * I try to keep life as familiar as possible while you're away, so I do my best to follow your dog's usual routine for walks, meals, playtime and downtime. * I offer live-in dog and house sitting for overnight stays, weekends, holidays and longer bookings throughout the year. * Before a sit, I like to arrange a quick video call so we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure you feel completely comfortable before you head away. * Before each sit, I take the time to understand your dog's usual routine, from walks and mealtimes to favourite sleeping spots and the little things that help them feel settled. * I work online part-time, so I'm able to spend much of the day at home, providing companionship and helping your dog settle into their usual routine. * I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages while you're away. I'll also ask how often you'd like to hear from me, so you can choose the level of contact that feels right for you. * I genuinely enjoy looking after people's homes and take pride in treating every property with the same care and respect I would my own. I see myself as a temporary guardian of your home as well as your dog, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it.

“Gary was absolutely brilliant looking after our Frenchies, Remi and Buster. It’s clear that he genuinely loves animals and treats them with great care, kindness, and attention. He took excellent care of them, made sure they were happy and comfortable, and followed everything we requested perfectly. Gary is a very reliable, friendly, and caring person a true animal lover. We felt completely at ease knowing our boy and girl were in such good hands. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we will definitely use him again in the future. THANK YOU GARY 🐾 🐾”

About: I'm retired and can give your pet virtually 24hr care. I'm an avid walker and will take your pet on lovely woodland walks and visits to country estates, beach etc. I have owned my own dogs for the past 30 years but am currently without one, hosting dogs allows me to enjoy, fuss and soil even more. I am at home most of the day except when I'm at the gym in the morning, my daily routine is flexible so I always have time for walks and I'm often in the garden or doing chores around the house, under the watchful eyes of your pet! I have a fully walled garden and lots of green walks straight out my front door. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds if that's what their used to at home. I try to follow their home routine as far as I can. I use a local secure dog park with a pool if required for the additional cost of the session.

“Emily was amazing! She looked after our dog Hershey on our wedding day and put us at ease on the run up to the big day and on the day. She was professional and had great communication. Hershey loved her and we would highly recommend!”

About: I have 8 years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and baby sitting. I have also had a summer job working at a dog hotel. I have worked with old and young dogs and a variety of breeds so I am prepared to offer any care they require. I will also send you plenty of photos of you dog and our adventures. I will care for your dog as I would like mine to be cared for. I work for a charity and can work from home at least 3 days a week, but I can take more days at home if I am dog sitting. I will walk my dog during my lunch break and in the morning/after work so your dog can join in on these walks. I live in the countryside so there are plenty of lovely, quiet walks around me. On the weekends I will usually drive to the beach or a park for a longer walk. I feed my dog twice a day with a treat at night but happy to fit into your dogs schedule. In my home: - Dog safe garden, fully fenced off - Friendly dog (4 year old Parson Russel Terrier) - Dog treats, food, and plenty of toys - Dog beds and lots of space inside the house - Consistent food time and walk time to ensure routine - Dog shampoo to wash dogs if they are muddy - Dog seatbelt in my car In someone else's home: - I will follow the rules of the house - Make sure when I go, it looks like no one was there to stay - Clean the house every day - Tidy up dog poo in garden - Ensure your dog has a similar routine - Administer any medication required - Take bins out and other home tasks - Walks, food, play time, and cuddles with your dog - I will bring your dog a cute toy when I arrive
