About: I’ve had dogs for many years, my last two Westies passed away over the last two years sadly, I’m now retired, live next to a large area of green belt, and miss the walks and cuddles, but since I too like to have holidays feel I couldn’t afford to have dogs and holidays. I feel this is a good solution for us all, I get my doggy fix and you get a great Nanny for your dog and a loving hime whilst you go away with no worries. I’m retired, but go out nearly every morning for one hour to church. I do 2hrs voluntary work on one day a week. A dog would be part of my family, will only be crated at owners request. Owner to supply their bed so they have something of their own. I have fully fenced garden. I would always need to meet the pet first and owner to find out the routine and likes and dislikes….. and any of their habits etc. inc medication if necessary. I live next to a large area of green belt and can offer walks either there or in the street.

About: I have a BTEC in animal care and have always owned either dogs and cats so I have experience in animal behaviour, training and general care. We have a two bedroom home with a large garden and are available to take bookings same day. Our Daily Routine at The Canine Retreat Essex 🐾 I provide a genuine home-from-home experience where your dog becomes part of our family. ❤️ A typical day will look like this: Morning 🐾 Wake up, toilet break and lots of morning cuddles! 🐾 Breakfast (following your dog’s usual feeding routine). 🐾 A walk tailored to your dog’s age, breed and energy level. Afternoon 🐾 Time to rest, play or enjoy enrichment activities such as puzzle toys, sniffing games and interactive play. 🐾 Fresh water is always available, with regular toilet breaks throughout the day. 🐾 Garden time, play and companionship. 🐾 Plenty of one-to-one attention and affection. 🐾 Quiet time for dogs who enjoy an afternoon nap. Evening 🐾 Dinner served according to your dog’s normal routine. 🐾 Family time spent relaxing in the home, with lots of cuddles and attention. 🐾 Final toilet break before settling down for a comfortable night’s sleep. As a family home with my daughter, your dog will enjoy being part of everyday family life. Every dog is treated as one of the family, and I always ensure they feel safe, comfortable and loved throughout their stay. I will provide regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, settled and enjoying their holiday too! 🐾 My home is kept clean and tidy, our Labrador does shed so regular hoovering is required along with any other shedding dogs we may have!

“Sydney, Tom and Bonnie looked after our dog, Paolo and he had such a great time - he actually didn’t want to leave! Sydney and Tom were friendly, and very flexible when we were running an hour later than expected. They were also flexible with drop off times which was very helpful for us. Bonnie their dog got along very with Paolo, and so we are looking forward to them having our dog again. Thoroughly recommend them to look after your dog! 🐶”

“Lorna recently looked after our Jack Russell, Toby, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Toby and made sure he felt comfortable and settled. It was obvious throughout that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Toby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Toby – we’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

Adrian B.

“Freddie loves his visits and we know he is very well looked after. Thank you so much. Xx”

About: I’ve got years of experience working with and owning dogs of all breeds, I have knowledge of training, and behaviour of dogs. I’ve worked with dogs from puppies to elderly. I have 2 dogs myself whom I love dearly. I have experience in dog training also. Experience in rescue dogs (one of mine is a rescue) I have a very flexible schedule, I’m available Monday-Friday and some weekends. My daily availability is from 8:50am-5pm and weekends I can be available from 8am-7:30pm I care for pets like I care for my own, with love attention and respect. I take the time for other peoples pets to become comfortable with myself and learn their behaviour to know they are happy and content. I’ll keep to their usual routines, and make sure they have lots of engaging fun during my time with them.

About: Hi, my name is Imogen I am a reliable, friendly and caring dog lover who wants to give your dogs the best sleepover possible whilst you’re away! Having had dogs myself I know how important it is to feel your pup is in safe, secure hands. I have had years of experience looking after friends and families dogs - rest assured any dog that comes through my door is treated as my own. Having them stay is the easy bit, giving them back is the trick! I’m a school teacher so school holidays would be my preferred dog sitting days. However, weekends are available where I’m around most of the time. I have a large secure fenced garden and I’m very close to woodlands and dog friendly parks. The dogs will have access to my kitchen and living room which are tiled and floor boards and I will allow bedroom sleeps if that is what your dog is used to.

“Thanks for having Remy, she had a great time !”

About: Hey I’m Rhianne 🙂 I grew up with animals from a very small age we always had family pets from dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and even goats at one point. My parents rescued our last two dogs, that was amazing to give them the best life after being neglected. I have lots of experience taking care of different breeds of dogs and I thoroughly enjoy looking after them and spending time with them, giving them lots of love and attention. I am very adaptable and understand each little fur baby has their own personality. I work from home so I am very flexible through out the day. I have 2x 15 minute breaks and 1 hour lunch so plenty of time to take your pets to the toilet and for walks before, during my lunch or after work. I go to the gym regularly so pets that are OK to be left for a couple of hours on their own is more suitable for me. I will send plenty of updates with photos and messages to assure you that your fur babies are safe and being well cared for. I am very attentive and ensure a high standard of care when caring for pets. I will follow all feeding, walking routines given to me and give your fur babies lots of cuddles and love. If there are specific routines with feeding, walking or requirements for pets these can be given to me to follow.

About: Ever since I can remember I've always been around dogs. From German shepards, rottweilers to pomeranians and sausage dogs. I enjoy learning about all their different personalities and what makes them happy I'm pretty flexible as I'm currently a stay at home mum who's children are at school most of the day. I currently look after a few dogs Tuesday to Friday 7am-5pm but can do different days a times if needed and i am happy to board anyday of the week. I have a fenced garden that the dogs can enjoy anytime of the day and have installed baby gates downstairs to prevent them escaping through the front door

About: I had my own labradoodle from a puppy and have cared for friends and families pets since he passed away 8 years ago. Myself and my husband have 2 children (10 & 7) and they love playing with the animals too. We love going for walks as a family and happy for the dogs to tag along! I am currently working part time (flexible days) so am able to change my days if needed to look after your pets. I will be mainly at home during the week so can take on lots of walks/play/toilet breaks. I live in a detached house with a large fenced garden so it’s safe for animals. I don’t have any pets (just the 2 children!) and happy to just care for one at a time (or pets from the same family). I don’t have a crate but have the space for one if you wanted to provide.

About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, and getting my own a few years ago, i know how uncomfortable it can be leaving them behind. No need to worry, i can ensure you you dog wont be getting bored or stressed with my Beagle, Molly around them. I currently work full time with a very flexible office/work from home schedule. I cant change my days around frequently but usually work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can work from home the entire week if needed for longer term stays. Dogs will be at least 45 minute walk per day, unless you request otherwise. My dog stays on a long line lead as her Beagle nose stops her ears working frequently. It is your preference if you want your on or off lead when walking. My usual routine is feed in the morning and evening. Happy to continue any routine you already have in place to ensure your pets are made to feel as comfortable as possible.
