House Sitting in Southend-on-Sea

“Poppy was amazing and I highly recommend. I booked Poppy for an all day pet sitting service, she also came to meet Elton a few days before my booking, Elton is quite an anxious dog but Poppy was very calm with him and will 100% be booking with Poppy again.”

“Natalie is amazing! Always respond to our needs and Rocky’s too. He loves her so much, she settled in so nicely and always treats us and our home with respect. Natalie is very loyal and always helps us out extra if we need. I was a very anxious puppy mum to begin with however she filed me with confidence knowing that Rocky was in great hands. We can’t thank you enough Natalie! x”

About: When I was 16 I worked in a dog groomers, giving dogs baths and drying them. Then I started looking after my auntie’s dog overnight and walked him when they were away. 2 years ago I got my puppy Cooper. We have done lots of training, I love taking him out on walks we always try new places!! I am pet first aid trained. I’m currently working part time at a church with children and young people, I work in the mornings so I can do early walks, afternoon or evening as well as drop ins in the afternoon and evening. I am pet first aid training certified and your dog will. Be supervised at all time along the walks and I want your dog to feel comfortable so if I notice any distress we will go walk somewhere else.

“Swathi and her husband did a fantastic job of looking after my Harvey. They made lovely videos and photos of him and shared them with me as well as keeping me updated throughout the time they were looking after him. They kept my house very clean and tidy, I'll certainly be using them again. I'm very happy”

“Michelle was a great help for me recently. I’d booked a day for dog sitting in my home in advance, but also unexpectedly needed help the day before. Michelle managed to move some things around to assist, which was much appreciated. She sent regularly updates during the day & I could tell Mya was being well looked after & getting all the fuss & cuddles that she’s a big fan of. Thanks Michelle, will definitely book again!”

“Yi was absolutely amazing. She sent us pictures throughout the day and gave us regular updates, and big bonus, she gave us some great advice regarding our pup’s allergies. She truly looked after Boris, we’re grateful we found her on Rover. We hope to see her again as we will definitely reach out next time we need someone to look after our pup”

About: Hi I'm Olivia :) I have four cats myself; Teddy, Waffle, Jaffa and Leo, and I love them so much :) I know how much my cats mean to me, so I know how much they must mean to you. I will look after your animals as if they were my own :) I have very good experience in looking after animals, and all of the owners have been very pleased with my services. I downloaded this app because I wanted to use more websites to find other animals that need looking after :) I am thoroughly enjoying doing this, and can't wait to meet yours! I am usually very happy to take last minute requests, but obviously it depends on the situation, so message me and I will get back to you. I have lots of time to care for your animals and I absolutely love doing it, message me and we can arrange if we are a good fit :) I can offer one or two drop-ins a day for your lovely animals, and I also am very happy to do overnight stays at your place :) Looking forward to it!

“Excellent! Really prompt, listened to everything and kept us updated while we were away. Having a disabled dog I'm sometimes worried about leaving him but I need not have worried, Alison was excellent and looked after Cyril and our cats like they were her own.”

“Ashley was fantastic; he looked after our dog Crumble for a week and sent updates and photos throughout. Crumble was very relaxed and played with him which was great to see. Ashley took amazing care of him, giving him his medication and taking out for walks as needed. As this was our first time with a dog sitter Ashley also met us ahead of the week to make sure Crumble wasn't reactive to him. This gave us reassurance that Crumble would be calm during the week and put our minds at ease for our holiday. Ashley also kept the house clean and had great communication throughout. Ashley was very reliable, trustworthy and an all round pleasure to meet; we were very happy to have found sound a brilliant dog sitter. Would not hesitate to book again; thank you so much!”

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.

Passionate about animals and caring for them, I am available throughout the week, weekends and for overnight stays. I offer solo dog walking, pet minding in your home and welfare visits. Whatever your requirements, I would be happy to meet and make arrangements to suit you. I volunteer for Cats Protection, German Shepherd Dog Rescue and Hockley Ferret Rescue on some days, but mostly I work flexibly and can visit your pets throughout the day, evening and for overnight stays. I will treat your pets with as much care as I do my own, providing them with both mental and physical stimulation, keeping them clean and fed, according to your instructions. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages of the time I spend with them.

About: I’ve always been passionate about animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. Friends and family trust me to provide reliable, patient care including feeding, walks, playtime and companionship. I’m especially calm and attentive, which helps nervous or sensitive pets feel relaxed. I believe every animal deserves kindness, consistency and genuine care. I currently work from home 4 days a week, which gives me good flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week, with extra availability on evenings and weekends. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime and a calm, structured routine so they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe and predictable environment for every pet. I follow owners’ routines closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs and any medication instructions. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so shy or anxious animals feel comfortable. I’m very attentive on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and always prioritise your pet’s wellbeing, comfort and security.

About: I have grown up with cats Have had two of my own with my children We have also had a duck and rabbits I look after and treat my pets as a family member and spoil them (have their own Xmas stockings and gifts,extra treats on their birthdays etc) I have a clean,tidy and organised home With my children who have ADHD, Autism and others. I have 5 kids but have always been around small animals Me and my kids are big animal lovers They all have Adhd and autism but it's never stopped us having furry family members. I would visit after school runs in the morning and either before pick up time or after dinner When they need to be seen I would visit your home when needed play, feed and take care of your furry family members We have always wanted a dog and doing this would be the closest to it so my kids may come along (not all just one at a time) extra fuss and playtime no matter what animal you have

About: Since I got my Cocker Spaniel puppy in 2020, I have been looking after my own dog as well as my neighbour's and family friend's dogs. Sometimes I would take them on a walk and other days when they needed extra help I would house sit in the evening or as long as they required my help. I absolutely love dogs and cats and I am really eager to care for them. I have recently graduated from University so my schedule is very flexible! I am a very active person so it ties in nicely with my current daily routine. My top priority when caring for pets is to ensure that they are comfortable and happy. When providing care in the owner's home I would ensure that I understood the routine that the pet is currently in and to mimic it as much as possible. Exercise is important as well as mental stimulation, therefore if necessary I would provide the dog with the exercise it needs as well as frequent play sessions to keep them occupied.

“I cannot recommend Charlotte enough, she was so wonderful with our two dogs (one being a tiny puppy) - we received the most lovely photos of them all weekends and regular updates of how they were and what they were doing! Charlotte stayed at our house and it was definitely cleaner when we arrived home than when we left! I will 10000% be booking Charlotte again as we felt like our babies were in extremely safe and experienced hands! It was all a bit chaotic in my house with my kids etc when Charlotte arrived and she didn't make me feel bad about it which was a big relief as I felt really anxious about it already as I'm not the most organised of people 😂 - Thank you Charlotte for making the whole experience stress free and enjoyable xxx”
