Pet Sitting Rochford

About: I have grown up around pets and animals. I have my own miniature dachshund who is a loving and needy character. I am the girl that will go up to dogs at a party and stay there. I live with just Luna at a house so would love to open my home to help look after others dogs! It sounds like a dream and I work from home so will be here at all times. I will give regular updates via pictures and messages if requested as wouldn’t want to hassle you unless you wanted to! I used to have a childhood dog which was a Shih Tzu called Stanley that I would look after at home. I look after my Nans dog which is a Yorkshire terror when she goes on holiday. All rounded take them for walks play with them clean them, etc… I currently have an office job where I work from home so will be home majority of the time to provide the care needed for a dog and give them the attention they need! My house is a safe home nothing is lying around and my dog is a loving character just barks at the door at new people haha she’s only small though and wouldn’t do anything shes so loving! Takes her a min to adjust to a new dog but she will play after they have bonded.

“Fantastic sitter! Have used Ashley 3 times now, he is wonderful with my little cat! Fantastic updates and always a great service! Thank you ❤️”

About: I’m an experienced dog carer with over 6 years of professional hands-on experience in canine welfare and behaviour. I worked for more than 3 years at Dogs Trust caring for kennel dogs and supporting adoptions, followed by 3+ years at Guide Dogs in dog care and welfare. Alongside this, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including dogs needing post-operative support and ongoing medical care. I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about their wellbeing. I am currently working part time so have plenty of time to dedicate to your beloved pets. I have alternate Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays off and work every other weekend. I provide calm, reliable care in your pet’s own home where they feel most comfortable and settled. With over 6 years of professional dog welfare experience, including post-op and medical care, I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments while keeping to their usual routines and needs.

About: I am an equine vet and am very interested in canine behaviour, so you can be reassured that your pets will be in the safest hands, with additional veterinary knowledge. This also means that I am more than happy to take on any pets with additional needs - medications, inhailers, injections etc. I have taken responsibility for pets of family/friends since I was young and have always treated them as I would my own. I have been pet sitting for 3 years and love the companionship, long walks, and puppy cuddles! I do now have my own dog who is a 10 month old toy poodle. She is very well behaved and fully house trained etc, but means that I will only be able to pet sit for if you would be open to me bringing her along! I am currently working full time, so can only gaurantee weekends. However, I am often able to pop in during weekdays, and do occasionally have fridays off, so please enquire if you would be interested and I can let you know my availability for your dates. Currently I am only able to offer pet sitting services where I would come to your home. I find this often works better for the animals as they feel more safe and comfortbale in their home environment. I am always clean and tidy and would leave your house as I find it. I do have my own dog, who would also come with me. She is a very friendly 8 month old toy poodle, who is very well behaved and fully house trained etc, but means that we will only be able to accept dog friendly pets!

“We had only had our puppy for 2 days at 8 weeks old. We booked Alyss for drop in visits in the morning while we were at work so she wasn't on her own longer than 2 hours. Coco was as good as gold and absolutely loved Alyss who has helped our puppy immensely not to feel anxious about being alone for a couple of hours until we m home from work. Highly recommend thank you Alyss Coco sends her love xx”

About: I am currently transitioning from a professional corporate career to dedicate myself fully to my passion for canine care. As a mother and a lifelong dog owner, I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. I bring a high level of organisation, reliability, and professional integrity to my work, ensuring your pet is safe and well cared for while you are away. ​My experience is built on years of personal ownership and caring for the pets of friends and family. I am experienced with a wide range of breeds, but I have a particular love for Jack Russell Terriers. I enjoy their spirited personalities and the unique energy they bring, and I am very comfortable managing the "terrier attitude" with patience and consistency. To ensure I provide the best possible care, I am currently studying for my Level 3 in K9 Care and Welfare (VTQ). I believe that a consistent, predictable routine is essential for a dog's well being. During a typical home visit or walk from your home, I start with a thorough safety check of your dog’s lead and harness. We will head out to local spots for exercise and mental stimulation. After our walk, I ensure paws are wiped, ticks are checked for, and fresh water is provided. If I am sitting at your home, I strictly follow your dog's feeding, walking and garden schedule to keep their stress levels low. Your dog’s safety and your home's security are my absolute priorities. ​Vetted and Insured: I am fully DBS checked and operate with comprehensive pet-sitting insurance. ​Emergency Prepared: I am VTQ K9 First Aid trained (and I carry a pet specific first aid kit on all walks. ​I pride myself on clear, professional communication and will provide you with regular photos and updates throughout our time together so you have total peace of mind. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my day to ensure I’m available when dogs need me most. I dedicate two primary blocks of time to my furry clients: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM for morning and midday exercise, and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM for late afternoon walks. ​By keeping these windows consistent, I can provide reliable, on time visits that fit perfectly around my family commitments while ensuring your pup stays active and happy throughout the day. I believe trust is built through professional knowledge and genuine care. As a current student of the Level 3 Canine Care and Welfare qualification, I bring an academic understanding of dog behaviour and welfare to every walk. This helps me read body language effectively, ensuring your dog is always comfortable, happy, and stress free in my care. ​Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority: ​Emergency Preparedness: I am VTQ First Aid trained (in-person), meaning I have the practical skills to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. ​Home Security: I treat your home with the utmost respect, following all security protocols, ensuring gates are locked, and double-checking that your dog is settled and hydrated before I depart. ​Attentive Walking: I maintain full focus on your dog during our time together, staying alert to the environment and avoiding potential hazards or stressful encounters. ​I provide detailed updates and photos after every session, so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pup is in the hands of someone who truly understands and prioritises their well being.

“I left wrong key of property and Jenny patiently helped me to sort out this problem by going somewhere else to collect a second key even though it passed our agreed 30 min booking. I’m very thankful for that! She kept me updated on every visit by photos and texts and was always on time.”

“Alyce is so understanding and helped with a last minute booking, absolutely life saver!! Kept me feeling at ease knowing that Bronson was okay! She really understands Bronson and his way of showing love Thank you so much for everything :)”

About: I have enjoyed our pets for over 35 years. Now while I don’t have my own, I look forward to care for yours while you are busy. I work from home most of the days, so I am quite flexible. Best time to walk your dog is in the afternoons and weekends. My garden is well fenced and big enough for games. My home is safe and our children love animals. I live by the woods and love long walks. I will be your pet caregiver at all times. My family may interact with your pet while I am supervising.

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’ve been on Trustedhousesitters for almost a year now and have had many sits with many dog breeds. Breeds includes, Labrador’s, Huskeys, Dalmatian’s, Corgis, and will continue to look after more! I have currently been made redundant, and I currently have a lot of free time on my hands. Spending time with dogs is fantastic and takes stress off. I tend to walk dogs at least twice a day, and throughout the day if they look bored, I will play with them and run around in the garden.

About: We have been around dogs our whole lives and have been helping care for family, friends' and neighbours' pets. We understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, we treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Elicia works from home during the day, while Jack works during the day and is home in the evenings, meaning there is usually someone available to provide care, attention and companionship. We already enjoy taking two walks each day, so regular exercise and outdoor time are part of our routine. Your dog would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, affection and relaxation throughout the day. We are committed to maintaining your pet's usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled while in our care. We provide a safe, caring and comfortable environment for every dog in our care. We live in a flat with access to a secure garden, giving dogs space to relax and enjoy outdoor time throughout the day. Dogs staying with us will receive at least two walks a day, alongside plenty of attention, playtime and companionship. We are happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs and will follow their normal routine to help them feel settled and secure. We will cater to your dog's feeding schedule and any specific care requirements, ensuring their needs are met while they are with us. Regular toilet breaks are provided throughout the day, and we ask that dogs are house-trained. We will send regular updates for what your doggy is up to!
