Pet Sitting Southend-on-Sea

“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”

“Rhiannon was a gift at very short notice, flexible and accommodating to ours and the puppy's needs. Very grateful to have her come and check on the boys, feed them and give plenty of cuddles. Knowing they were being love, allowed us to enjoy our evening with ease. Thank you! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Hamsters, Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, Chickens, Dogs, Cats and Goldfish. I've never had any problems with my pets or anyone else's. I work from home, so I'm available 24/7 to look after your pets. Depending on the pets needs, they can either laze in front of the telly or go out for walks 3 or 4 times a day Loads of walks. Great Garden. Love having animals in the house. Your pets will be looked after and pampered. Please let me know of any behavioural issues so I know how to deal with this. Please also tell me the rules in your house and any training you are currently doing so I can keep up to date with these

About: From being a pet parent in India to two adorable souls, a mischievous Shih Tzu and a gentle White Retriever. I’ve learned what true unconditional love looks like. 🐶❤️ They taught me patience, compassion, and how every wag, bark, and cuddle has its own meaning. Now in the UK, I pour that same love into every dog I care for. To me, pet sitting isn’t just a service, it’s a promise. A promise to keep tails wagging, paws happy, and pet parents completely at ease. 🐾❤️ Every walk becomes an adventure, every playtime a memory, and every cuddle a moment of pure joy. With me, your furry family will always feel safe, loved, and truly understood. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, bringing structure and joy to my days. I set aside dedicated time each day for walks, play, and bonding, ensuring every dog I care for gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. My weekly routine includes visits to local parks and dog-friendly spaces, making sure each pet has a balanced mix of activity and relaxation. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable, safe environment where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick to a routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them settled and happy. In a pet owner's home, I follow their established routines closely to make the experience as familiar as possible for the pet, ensuring their needs are met with consistency and care. My focus is always on providing a loving, attentive, and stress-free experience, whether they’re in my home or theirs.

“This week I needed help to settle my cat in after a big move. Olivia was great at putting my mind at ease with Apache. She sent me photos and videos of them playing and I could see how much fun they were having. Will definitely rebook in the future. ”

About: Hi! We’re Betül, Yavuz Alp, and Freud 🐾 We moved to the UK from Turkey three years ago with our beloved dog, Freud. We were lucky enough to meet him when he was a 2-year-old stray, and he has now been part of our family for five wonderful years. Since then, he has travelled with us to many places and is at the heart of our home. We live in a house with a secure, fully fenced garden where Freud spends most of his day enjoying the outdoors. I work Monday to Thursday, 9am–5pm, in Rayleigh, while my husband works from home full-time. During the summer, you’ll usually find him working from the garden rather than his upstairs office! At weekends, we love exploring local woodland walks such as Belfairs and Hockley Woods. Weekdays are a little quieter, but the garden is always full of games, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention. We also enjoy shorter evening walks after work. Freud is a friendly, easy-going dog of around 10kg. He gets on well with dogs of a similar size and enjoys having canine company. As with many smaller dogs, he can be a little cautious around much larger breeds, so we always make introductions thoughtfully. Guest dogs are welcome throughout our home and are free to relax on the sofas or beds if that’s what they’re used to. We simply ask that they are toilet trained and comfortable living in a home environment. One of the reasons I joined Rover is that I would love to adopt another dog one day, but for now I need to prioritise my finances and health. Looking after other wonderful dogs seemed like the perfect compromise—and Freud certainly won’t complain about making new friends! If you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you. Betül, Yavuz Alp & Freud 🐶 We are living in a house with a fenced garden where Freud spends most of his day. I am working Monday to Thursday 9to5 in an office in Rayleigh. On the other hand my husband is working from home and even though he has an office upstairs his main base is garden especially in Summer. We mostly spend our weekends with a long walk in the woods around, such as Belfairs and Hockley. We are a bit lazy during weekdays but garden is full of games. We tend to have 15 to 30 minutes short walks to the shops etc after 6 pm during weekdays. Freud is friendly with the dogs his size. He can be a bit protective of himself with bigger dogs with a lot of barking and hiding behind us😂 We have a crate which is large enough for Freud to move if needed, but not preferred.

About: I will treat your fur baby like one of the family. They will get lots of attention and cuddles but also time to snooze. We go for walks in the park and/or woods so they will get a chance to stretch their legs too. I am a stay at home mum with a 4 year old. She is in preschool most of the day which frees me up to look after your fur babies. I have a 6 year old shih tzu who is friendly and kind natured. We go on 3 walks a day, including toilet breaks. Additionally, I have a fenced garden for your fur baby to run around, play etc.

“Michelle was great!, kept me informed and sent loads of photos. Michelle kept everything clean and tidy. My 2 cats were happy when I arrived. Definitely would be using Michelle again. xx”

“Sam was fantastic. Regular updates and photos at every visit, and she didn’t just do flying visits to put down food and clear litter. Sam spent time with our cats, making a fuss of them and playing with them. She’s a very safe and caring pair of hands, and a warm friendly person who is easy to communicate with. Will 100% book with Sam again! ”

“Dardana was brilliant when she looked after my cat Luna! She always kept me up to date with pictures and videos and did an amazing job playing with her as well as making sure all her food / water and tray were sorted out. Would definitely recommend Dardana to anyone.”

“Elizabeth S. Looked after my 2 French Bulldog with care and love. This was the first time I have had someone look after the girls. Elizabeth followed their food needs, clean up after them, made them feel safe. Also, the updates she sent were reassuring. I was able to have a day out to see A Chorus Line with friends knowing my girls were well looked after. I would totally 100% recommend Elizabeth S. When I got home, my girls were settled, happy, fed and my home was clean,”

About: I am a naturally very patient, calm and compassionate person. My number one priority will always be to ensure your pets safety and happiness :) I have plenty of free time during the week with my youngest child being at school all day and my eldest having recently moved out. I have a fenced garden & a small friendly dog to keep your pup company, also have a gated utility room to give separate quiet time if required.

About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.

About: I currently live in Southend, with three lovely cats aged 3, 14 and 15, who I have taken care of all their lives. I also have a lot of experience living with and caring for various other animals including numerous guineapigs, 2 rabbits and fish. I've regularly taken care of friends small/medium sized dogs including a very relaxed Chow, 2 excitable King Charles Cavaliers, a 15 year old cross-breed and a lovely little Cockapoo. Friends have relied on me to walk, wash and feed their pets for various lengths of time and often over night, which I've always loved! I have a part time job as a support worker, with flexible hours, meaning I'm at home most of the week with lots of time to babysit. I also love taking long walks down by the sea front, which is always more fun with a dog who's up for it! I will ensure whatever pet I take care of will be kept comfortable and happy at all times, as I understand having someone else take care of them can be unsettling.
