“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.”

“First time we’ve had someone stay in our house and look after our dog and cat but Katherine sent us lovely pictures and updates! We can tell they were looked after well and the house was kept clean. Would definitely have Katherine to house sit again! Thanks again 😊”

“Caramel was lovingly looked after by Jasmine and the two of them got on so well. I know this because Caramel was calm and happy when I got back to the house. Jasmine followed all the instructions for administering her meds and meals and the all important walks 3 times a day. I would happily recommend Jasmine as someone trustworthy & who just loves animals.”

I am available during half terms including the 6 weeks summer holidays to dog sit your in your own home or to drop in where it is needed. During the half terms and weekends I have no commitments and therefore your dog would be my only priority alongside my own!

I will look after your pet in your own home with the routine that they know and love. Each of my visits are tailored to what your pet needs and what you would like from my service.

“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 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.

“Megan is lovely. Most importantly, our dogs loved her too. She did just what we had arranged, sent us photos and kept us up to date with what was going on at home, while we were away. We will be booking her again in the future. Thanks Megan, great job”

“Lucy looked after my Border Terrier for the day. They hit it off straight away, played in the garden and went on several walks. Lucy is a very nice person I would not hesitate to recommend her. Excellent communication, she answered all my questions during the booking very quickly. Booking through Rover was easy, with plenty of advice on the procedure.”

“Rocco had a good time with Morgen. Rocco can be a bit much cos he loves people and just wants to play and being a strong boy he can get a bit much but Morgen was great.”

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.

“Nadiia is a wonderful pet sitter. She took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were away. They were both happy and content when we returned. She takes excellent care of our home and it was cleaner than when we left. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot thank Ben enough for the incredible care he provided for our cat, dog, and home while we were away. From the very start, he went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and our house was in perfect order. Our daughter was especially anxious about leaving our pets, but Ben put her mind at ease by sending regular, adorable pictures and updates - it meant the world to her. He kept us informed about everything, so we never had to worry. When we returned, the house was spotless, and our pets were clearly relaxed and well-loved in our absence. Ben is truly reliable, caring, and professional - we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. If you need a pet and house sitter who treats your home and furry family like his own, Ben is the one. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had pets since I was a toddler - both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have experience with medically monitored pets and pets with behavioural issues. I have helped to train animals. I am generally a lover of all animals! I am currently unemployed and so I will have plenty of time to put in to caring for your animals, however much time they require. Once I know I will be sitting for you, I will ask for any house rules/training rules you establish for your pet. I will follow these to the best of my ability to make the transition for your animal as easy as possible. My focus will always be the comfort of your animal as a guest in their home.

“Karen looked after my house cats for 2 weeks over Christmas. She was great. I came back to 2 well cared for boys and a clean house. She was in regular contact with photos and updates whilst I was away. Very professional and I highly recommend”

Kate H.

“Karen took on a hard task of being with my girl when she wasn’t well and I think she did great and my dog was comfortable. She went out of her way to make sure she’s eating (you know how it can be with dog not wanting to eat much when the owner is away). Karen even make sure my dog was even comfortable in the garden by getting rid of some weeds! 😄 She’ll make sure to send you updates and pics every day and in a unique way! Id definitely recommend! ❤️”
