About: I am a friendly, bubbly and passionate individual who takes pride in the services I offer. I have been dog/cat sitting for over 2 years now, and I have remained 5* rated on my Facebook page. I am always willing to go the extra mile for all animals, to ensure their quality of care is exceptional when I am looking after them. In addition to this, I have a lot of experience in dachshund care, and have worked with several dachshunds who have experienced IVDD - I have done several charity events to help raise money for dachshund re homing Charities. I have also worked with animals who are incontinent, offering a tailored, hygienic approach and respecting your animals needs to a high standard. Working in a school, I offer all week availability from 3pm onwards, and all day for weekends. I provide half term summer holiday availability to allow you to make the most of your family time together. I offer comfort breaks, medication administration (if necessary), dog walking, feeding, play time and more. I can easily work around your schedule to help provide a service that works for you and your animals to the best standard, offering the most comfortable and reliable care. I am fully insured and DBS checked. Before any service is booked, I offer a free of charge “meet and greet” for you to get to know me, and for animals to become familiar with me before I offer a service in your home. Alongside this, I require documentation to be filled out and returned before any booking commences - without this, I cannot provide a service. For dog walking, I will NEVER take your dogs of lead; this is a non negotiable whist your animals are in my care, to ensure the upmost safety and reassurance.

About: I have owned and cared for animals all my life, as well as working in a cattery and kennels alongside school for some extra experience. I have recently graduated from ARU Writtle University specialising in Animal Management. I currently work as a supervisor in a bar/cafe nearby, so am working different hours and times each week, however I will discuss my shifts and free times so owner is aware of times I will not be at the house. I am confident around bigger dogs, having had a Labrador all my life, as well as owning cats, and am happy to do whatever I can to make sure they are looked after how the owner would like.

About: I grew up with my parents who always have had dogs. I now own a dog who I regularly take to training. She is an absolute joy and I love her lots. We have been to traditional training classes plus we have just started agility training and I also follow the online Absolute Dog games techniques to train your dogs. This would make me ideal for someone who is at work. I am available to visit your dog once or twice a day depending on their needs. I'm available most weekdays during the day time. From 10am till 3pm. My catchment areas are, Hockley, Ashingdon, Rochford and Hullbridge. Please feel free to message me with any questions. If I'm marked as booked and you are local then there is always a possibility that I may be able to squeeze you in. My previous work experience has mainly been with horses and I am an Accredited Coach in horse riding. At the various stables where I have worked there have often been dogs so I really feel that I have been around dogs for many years.

“Sophie checked in on our kitten while we were away for the week, she sent us daily updates and he was clearly well looked after, she was also happy to check in on our other small animals and we had full peace of mind knowing she was around and caring for them.”


About: I've looked after and trained my family dogs on my own since age 9, and have owned dogs of all sizes from all sorts of backgrounds. Very comfortable with big dogs I work part time on Wednesday and Fridays but with enough work I would look to give this up to pursue pet care full time. I will converse with you upon contact to figure out requirements for your pet specifically and tailor each visit depending on your needs. Happy with crating dogs, cleaning litter trays, cleaning garden of waste, I will also hand feed dogs with trust and time and patience.

About: It has been just over a year now since I started Comforting Creatures, and the business just keeps growing! I (Rosie) have grown up around all kinds of pets and animals. Currently I have a dog, cat, tortoise and a range of creepy crawly insects. I also have an incredible employee called Eve who does nothing but love and care for any pets. We both have a range of availability so please feel free to contact the page, and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We both have a range of availability as well as regular clients each. Please pop us a message on here, on Facebook or through WhatsApp for more information. Before we can take on your requests to care for your pet, we must book in a free meet and greet where we pop by to meet you and your pets. This gives us all a chance to get to know eachother, ask any questions you may have and fill out our form which contains all of our information and once completed, your information so that your pet gets the best care and we know as much about them as possible. We both carry around first aid kits, wipes and to ensure we have the correct equipment to keep your pet safe.

About: I’ve always had pets and have loved many an animal. I understand that entrusting your pets to another can be very tricky so i’m happy to answer any questions you may have I am very flexible with my work and as such i’ll be able to accommodate all your needs and wants re your pet care :) I would always prefer detailed instructions when it comes to pet care especially where medication is required I always ensure walks are on lead unless specifically told otherwise I will always use the same brand food you would usually feed your pets

About: I’ve been fostering for a bulldog rescue for four years, I’ve adopted my male bulldog from them. I also have a female bulldog in permanent medical foster. I’ve extensive experience with bulldogs. They are a specific breed, who needs someone who knows them well. I love everything about them, they are comedians in disguise. Get in touch, if you are worried about leaving your bulldog. Bulldogs enquiries only. Get in contact to discuss your needs. I’m able to pop in and see your dog while you are at work, I also do dog sitting when you are going on a night out or weekends away. I’ve been approved by a rescue to foster; I have my own bulldogs at home. I prefer to go to clients' homes to look after their dogs. I usually do an introductory visit, and then decide on the days/ times


About: I have always loved dogs and wanted my own one for many years. I finally adopted a tiny little pup in 2018. I’d like to use Rover to help others with small dog care as I know you want to leave your dog with someone who cares as much about them as you do. I'm fairly easy going and patient. I often take care of my friends dogs when they go away so have experience taking care of 2-3 small dogs at a time, though my preference would be just to have one other during the day when I’m working from home and at weekends. Happy to walk any size dog as long as they are good walking on a lead. Will only care for small dogs in my own home as I have a small dog. I work from home 4 days a week and can be available short notice for local walks in Leigh On Sea. Ideally walks before 9am, around lunchtime and after 6pm weekdays. Weekends available on an adhoc basis I have a small secure fenced garden with a metal staircase that leads down to it, so your pup will be safe to roam freely in the garden.

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with a deep love for animals of all kinds. I have many years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Whether you’re heading out of town or need someone to give your furry friend some extra attention during the day, I provide trustworthy, compassionate care in a safe and loving environment. I’m a full time mum. Our family includes a Fox Red Labrador, 2 gerbils and a leopard gecko. Animals are a big part of my life. With my children being at school I feel the time is now right to start doing something for myself. Always having dogs in my life I feel like dog walking/sitting is the right path for me. Your dog will be well looked after on a walk. For pets that require just a visit I will give them lots of attention. Make sure they are fed, watered, lots of play and lots of cuddles.

“Emily is a fantastic dog sitter who exceeded my expectations. She's not just a sitter, she's a whippet whisperer! I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch dog sitter who will treat their furry friend like family.”
