House Sitting Lawford

About: We’ve always had dogs since we met 24 years ago. Our first dog we had from a puppy and we’ve also had two rescue dogs. I currently work part time as a retail assistant so would have time to care for and play with your dog. They would be walked twice a day and treated as one of our own. I have a secure enclosed fenced in garden for your fur baby to play with our very friendly rescue Labrador. Plenty of lovely walks nearby including fields, parks and woods.

“Hannah arrived on time and looked after Marco extremely well. He is currently on medication which Hannah was happy to give him during the house sitting. We were kept updated on how he was doing, including photos and Hannah ensured he had plenty of garden breaks during the visit. Overall we were very happy with the care Hannah gave Marco and would/are happy to have her house sit for Marco in the future.”

“Ren house sat for our spaniel Rocco for 3 nights - we were given regular updates morning and evening with pictures and we’ve returned to a very happy dog and he looked more than comfortable with Ren on the pictures. House was left spotless on return. Would recommend & book again! 🙂”

“Charmy was a wonderful dog sitter and a true companion for my little Maltipoo dog. She sent a photo with updates whenever asked, and I felt completely at ease with her skillful approach to keeping my dog calm and happy. 100% recommended to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter!”

About: Hi, I'm Charlotte! I've grown up with dogs, cats and other small animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. Alongside regularly walking dogs, my partner Joe and I also look after family and friends' pets whenever they need us to. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, we treat every pet as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after. We both work in the emergency services, so being reliable, trustworthy and dependable is second nature to us. We work around our shift patterns, which gives us flexibility to offer care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings and weekends. We're based in Ardleigh, where we're lucky to have plenty of lovely countryside footpaths and quiet walking routes right on our doorstep. Whether your dog enjoys a gentle stroll or a longer adventure, we'll make sure they get the exercise, attention and care they deserve. We know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and we'd love the opportunity to get to know both you and your furry friend. Our shift work gives us a flexible routine that works really well with pet care. As we both work in the emergency services, we have different shift patterns, meaning there is usually someone at home and we can plan our time around the needs of each pet. We love being outdoors and regularly enjoy going on walks and runs around the local countryside, so having a dog to join us makes it even better. We have plenty of lovely walking routes around Ardleigh and enjoy giving pets the exercise, attention and companionship they need. We also don't have any children or pets so our lifestyle is very flexible. We know that every pet is different, and nobody knows them better than their owner. Before looking after your pet, we’ll always take the time to learn about their routine, personality and what makes them feel happy and safe. We’ll follow your guidance so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. We have a secure, sizeable garden where they can enjoy some fresh air, play and explore safely. Our home is set back from the road, giving pets a quieter and safer environment, and we also have security cameras around the property for extra peace of mind. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, cuddles, exercise and downtime depending on what they’re used to. We understand that some pets need lots of interaction, while others prefer a little more space and a calm routine. When caring for pets in their own home, we know that staying in a familiar place can often be less stressful. We’ll keep to their normal routine, spend quality time with them and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, we want your pet to feel happy and relaxed, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being looked after by people who genuinely love animals.

“Anita was like a dream come true version of the absolute best dog sitter! She was so delightful, as a lovely person to fully trust and especially to be with my dog Lola. Normally, Lola cries whenever I leave her, but Anita gave Lola all the cuddles and attention to keep her perfectly calm. Anita is 100% the best dog sitter I have ever known, and she will be my first choice to be entrusted with Lola!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Growing up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, tortoises and more has shaped me and I love to nurture and hang out with pets. As well as for my own family, I have dog sat for family friends and have always prided myself on being responsible, respectful, and loving to all furry friends no matter what! I work part time so am open to many dates including weekdays and weekends! Mornings are always best but I am also up for a full day or multiple days where my schedule allows it! I am extremely reliable and organised and am happy to negotiate for times that suit you! You and your pets will be my top priority! When staying in your house, I will continually be respectful of your space and your pets routine in order to build trust. I promise to always aim for the most safe and comfortable environment for your pet to thrive in!

“The easiest 5 stars! Katherine was the most perfect house sitter for my two sausages. I didn’t worry & I enjoyed my wedding! I’m so unbelievably thankful. Do not hesitate booking Kat!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and sometimes babysit my sisters dog and cat, I’ve also been entrusted by neighbours and friends to care for their pets whilst they’re on holiday. I work part time so could definitely make time for pet care within my schedule, I have clubs and hobbies but I’m confident that timings can be sorted! I wouldn’t necessarily pet sit from my house just due to my current circumstances! However this may change in the future. As for a pet owners home, however you feel comfortable! I know each dog/cat has their own quirks and personalities.

“Ailish looked after our Labrador whilst we were away for a week. She was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process! From the few meet ups before the week booked, communicated well throughout the week with written and photo updates, our house and dog were both well looked after for the week! Would def be using her service again! Thank you again Ailish!”
