Cat Sitting in Maldon

“We defo recommend Kellie! It was so hard to leave our puppy Kenobi with someone who we could trust, but as soon as we met Kellie we knew she was perfect as you could tell she just loves dogs! From the start she has been so friendly, helpful and loving towards Kenobi. When she’s with Kenobi she sends us updates and pictures which is so amazing as it puts your mind at rest as you can see they are having so much fun! She also has great advice for any issue we have with him, which is a added bonus! If you are worried about leaving your furbaby, Kellie is the person to go to for sure! :)”

“Tania was a wonderful cat sitter for us whilst we went away, she came in at short notice, did everything we asked, did her best to bond with our 2 cats despite them being very shy around new people. The daily updates were perfect & put us at ease as we had never used a service like this before. Cannot recommend Tania enough :)”

About: I have spent 14 years at Obedience class with my dogs & entered & placed in many obedience competitions. I love teaching dogs new tricks! My kids have all left home, so now there’s just me & my husband. I don’t go out to work, so I have all day to love, play & care for your pets. I have a bungalow with a fenced garden & a beautiful holiday home by the sea, with a fenced garden, so have lovely sea walks! I spend most of my time at our holiday home, so there’s plenty of beautiful sea air walks to go on!

About: I am currently a veterinary medicine student, so your animals would be in good hands! I have dog sat before and have looked after a plethora of different animals as well as working in vet surgeries so would be able to care for your pet and whatever needs they may have! I’m currently a student so during term time can fit it around my studies as my timetable isn’t cluttered and during the summer holidays I can be on hand whenever I am needed! I am prepared to put your animals first! I can work very well with all different temperaments and personalities of animals and ensure they are safe, secure and well cared for at all times in your home. I will keep their routine as similar to when you are there to minimise any stress from having their owners away!

“If you have found Georgia you have struck gold! I cannot recommend or praise her highly enough. Pet sitting aside, Georgia is a lovely, kind, responsible, reliable and trustworthy person. She communicates so well which allays the natural 'will my pet be okay?' anxiety as there are always photos and updates about how they are doing. Seeing our cats happily bond with Georgia meant so much to us. We were able to relax and enjoy our week away knowing that they were in the best hands. Our cats have very different personalities and Georgia was able to form a bond to suit each cat. It is very clear that they adore her.”

About: Because Your Dog Deserves More Than Just a Sitter. They Deserve a New Best Friend Who Cares. With over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments, including my own two that sadly passed away within the last 18 months, I provide more than just walks and feeding — I offer peace of mind. My journey as a dog sitter began long before it became a profession, caring for my own beloved two dogs, one who had special medical needs due to seizures and a heart condition. That experience taught me not only how to administer medications, monitor health closely, and adapt to changing needs, but also how to provide comfort and companionship when it matters most. Whether your pooch is a playful bundle of energy or requires patient, specialised attention, I tailor my care to fit their unique personality and needs. From extra cuddle time, energetic walks to keeping up with vet-approved routines if needed, your dog will receive the same love and dedication I gave my own two. When you can’t be there, you can trust that I’ll treat your four-legged family member like one of my very own, because to me, they’re never “just pets,” they’re family. Because I work from home on Fridays, your dog gets all the perks of my flexible schedule — regular toilet breaks, park walks or strolls by the sea (I live by the water), and plenty of attention. I can offer Friday-to-Sunday boarding for dogs who like a sleepover, or local weekend check-ins and walks if they’d rather stick to their own turf. Either way, your dog’s weekend will be filled with wagging tails, adventures, and maybe even a new best friend. When your dog stays with me, they’ll enjoy a safe, calm, comfortable, and dog-friendly home with a fully fenced, secure garden. Ideal for fresh-air play and sniffing adventures without you worrying about them wandering off. Inside, they’ll find a cosy, calm environment with comfy beds (and yes, the sofa is fair game if that’s their thing). Because I work from home on Fridays, your dog will get regular toilet breaks, park strolls, and plenty of attention all weekend.

“Fantastic! Maxine was a brilliant sitter for our cat Nori, we got lots of updates and pictures which gave us so much reassurance!! Thank you Maxine!”

About: *EDIT 11.1.25* Incase you don't make it to the end of my profile, Rover doesn't allow for 1 service to be offered at 1 time, and another at another time. I work in a school, so in term time, am available for drop ins and walks 5.30pm to 8pm. Weekends 10am to 8pm. School holidays, anytime.

Don't be alarmed, I do refer to my dog Elvis, as my son and I'm not sorry about it! I've had Elvis since he was 8 weeks old and we have gone through some hard times together. I've trained him, have become a master in medication administration, including dog wrangling for the application of eyedrops and ear drops. Due to Elvis's age, I've had to start shortening his walks but we have lots of fun toys to keep his mind sharp! Just started a pet first aid course too! As I work in a school, I have a lot of free time which I am happy to offer for drop ins and walks. During the school term, I can offer services after 5.30pm, up to 8pm, as well as all day on weekends Right now, I'm offering services outside my home.

About: I have years of experience working at a veterinary practice as well as fostering, where I have learnt how to observe pet health. Experience with handling and walking dogs, cats and reptiles specifically. Recently finished my uni degree in Animal Science and I’m looking for work whilst studying my Masters degree. Therefore, I will be free most days to care for your pets. I’m happy to follow whatever instructions are needed for your pets - I understand that every animal and owner have different situations so I can adapt for all (feeding and walking routines in particular).

“Absolutely fabulous! We were very nervous as we have never had anyone else look after our cats other than family and felt that putting them in a catery wouldn’t be a good idea - especially as we have one elderly cat and one previous stray. Lauren has now given us full confidence in leaving them with her again in the near future. They were so well looked after, with photos and even videos sent for peace of mind. The house was left tidy after her visits and we felt very safe leaving the key with her. Thank you once again Lauren and hope that you can sit for our moggies again very soon!”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was young. Growing up with a variety of dogs, cats and horses. I care for my own working springer who I raised from a puppy. Ensuring he lives a happy and enriched life. I enjoy positive reward and relationship based obedience training with him and long countryside walks. I’m self employed with my own dog friendly business premises. As a result I am able to be very flexible with dog walking and house visits. I am very flexible due to being self employed and will happily accommodate your dogs needs on walks, ensuring they have a fulfilling and enriching time that suits them as individuals. For pop in visits I will ensure they’ve had plenty of opportunity to visit the bathroom, play, enrichment and attention.

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and other animals and I really enjoy working with them, especially dogs. I have extensive paid experience as a pet sitter, mostly with dogs and cats. Spending time with animals makes me feel wonderfully happy and fulfilled. Having lived in London for the last 10 years, I had the opportunity to look after and spend time with dogs of many breeds, sizes and personalities and I always enjoy learning more and adapting to their own needs unique traits. I love spending time around animals and caring for them is so emotionally therapeutic and rewarding and often they're a great inspiration for my art as well. I joined Rover because lately I started to have more people asking me to look after their pets lately and because I enjoy it so much, I decided to allow more time for it. I am an artist and I also do some part time personal training work, teaching functional movement, postural correction, breathwork, and sports conditiong. Due to the flexibility in my schedule, I can be around to look after pets when people need me. I live in a flat so don't have a garden but have some wonderful parks nearby and Epping forest is not very far. There are many wonderful places around to take dogs for walks but I'm always happy to look after them at the owner's house as well.

About: Growing up on a cattle farm, gave me plenty of hands on experience as soon as I could walk. Surrounded my cows, dogs, cats, horses and various other animals over the years, allowed me to grow lots of knowledge on a variety of different animals, their behaviours and how to manage them. I currently work as a dog walker and house sitter, so I can be as flexible and frequent as necessary to fit in with you. I do not offer pets into my house as I feel most pets are happiest in the comfort of their own homes. Pet’s also love routine and by me moving in to their own home, I can replicate that as best as possible for minimal stress. I am DBS checked and insured.

“Hope was so lovely. She bonded with my cat straight away, and I trusted her to look after him well. Her communication was great and she took the stress out of leaving him behind for the week! Would definitely recommend ?”

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life and love to care for both cats & dogs. We can care for your cats in your home or in our home. We both currently work 9-5 Mon-Fri but having two cats of our own, other cats are more than welcome to stay with them at ours whilst we’re at work. In addition, we can also feed your cats or dogs before or after work if you rather they stay at your own house. (We do not host dogs in our own home) We live in a very cat friendly house so any cats that come to stay with us will feel right at home and will have our cats Ainsley & Heston to play with! However, if you’d prefer us to come to you then that’s not a problem at all! We’ve been around both cats and dogs since we were children.
