About: 7 years experience ✅️ Hi, my name is Victoria. I am a pet sitter in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, close to the beach and surrounded by lots of beautiful parks and woods. From a young age, I have always loved animals of all kinds (sometimes more than humans🤭!). Growing up, we had cats, rabbits and hamsters at home, so animals have always been a big part of my life they bring me so much peace and happiness. When I got married, my husband and I welcomed a Beagle cross into our family from a puppy. We sadly had to rehome him when he was seven years old, which was a very difficult and heart breaking decision for us. As a family, we have always loved animals, and my son was especially gentle and caring with our dog, knowing when to play with him and when to give him his own space. I love exploring different places on my walks, whether that's the woods, the beach or beautiful country parks, so having a furry friend to enjoy these adventures with would be wonderful company. I’m a caring, reliable and genuinely animal-loving person, and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to give them lots of fuss, cuddles and attention, while also respecting their individual personalities and giving them space when they need it. I can offer flexible and personalised pet-sitting services to suit you and your pets, and I’m also happy to help with things such as flea and worming treatments if needed. For your peace of mind i am DBS CHECKED/FULLY INSURED/CPR & FIRST AID TRAINED. If you're looking for a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and will give your pets plenty of love, care and attention, then feel free to get in touch - I’d love to hear from you! — I’d be very happy to chat about your pets and how I can help! Thank you, Victoria 🐾 I’m currently a stay-at-home mum, so I have lots of time, love and attention to give to an animal who needs it. I also drive and have an estate car with a large boot, so there’s plenty of room for dogs to travel safely and comfortably. I’m also available for drop-in pet visits, whether your pet needs feeding, some playtime, company, cuddles or just a little bit of attention while you’re out. Since rehoming our dog, I’ve really missed having a furry friend to take on walks, discovering new places to explore together and giving them all the love, care and attention they deserve. When we had our dog, we would go out every day and find somewhere new to explore, whether that was the beach, woods or country parks. He absolutely loved going on adventures, meeting other dogs and having lots of exciting new smells to investigate! I would really love the opportunity to share those walks and adventures with another dog and give them the same love and happiness that I gave to our own. 🐾❤️ We live in a spacious two-bedroom flat with access to a communal garden area. Pets are welcome on the beds and sofas — our dog used to sleep in bed with us, so we’re more than happy for your dog to do the same if they’re comfortable. I’m happy to administer flea and worming treatments if needed. We don’t currently have a crate, as we got rid of ours because our dog found it distressing, but I’m more than happy to use your crate if your dog is happy and comfortable being crated. Our dog suffered from severe separation anxiety, so I completely understand how difficult and stressful this can be for both dogs and their owners. I was unable to leave him alone, and he came everywhere with us. If your dog experiences separation anxiety, please be assured that I will not leave them alone and will do everything I can to make them feel safe, settled and comfortable. I can also provide home visits, including check-ins, walks, playtime and feeding, if that’s what your pet needs. 🐾

“Catriona was amazing! Really friendly and kept us updated with lots of pics and videos! Would book again!”

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.

“Myrin provided excellent care in looking after our cat. Would definitely book her again! She is compassionate, friendly and has lots of 1st hand knowledge in looking after Ragdolls. Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m Liv! I know leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s personality, their routine, provide plenty of love, care and attention, and most importantly keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re safe and having a great time! I currently work part time as a waitress/bar tender, so my rota changes weekly. On my days off, or if I have an early finish/late start I would love nothing more than to spend my time with animals! I live in a ground floor flat with a large garden, I also have a crate if your dog will find safety in one/is used to one. Dogs are more than welcome on the sofa and/or bed, wherever they’re comfortable!

About: My extended family have always had dogs and I've got experience with many breeds from great danes to yorshire terriers through all stages of their lives. From a youngster we had German shepherd's in the family and I was raised knowing that dogs are not pets, they are beloved family members with complex needs. I've volunteered at a number of animal rescues over the last two decades, driven by my love of animals and skill in dealing with a wide range of species. I'm the proud dad of a large rescue staffy x who is the centre of my world. You can be assured I will treat your companion with the utmost kindness and respect. I'm flexible depending on your dogs needs, I really enjoy long walks but if your dog prefers a slower, more sniffy walk, I'm happy to amble along at their pace. I'm at home most of the day as I don't leave my dog alone for longer than 2/3 hours. I'm an electrician by trade but am currently on an extended sabbatical. I'm in a ground floor flat with an 80 foot long, secure back garden with a 6ft fence. We have a friendly rescue dog, a young male bulldog x staffy. He's well socislised and enjoys the company of other dogs, he's neutered but particularly loves the ladies. We're a 20 minute walk from parks and the sea front. I'm trustworthy, respectful and have a recent DBS check if you require me to attend your home.

“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. ”

“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: 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 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.

“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.”

“Ashleigh looked after my cat for a week while I was on holiday and did a great job! Everything was done perfectly and Ashleigh gave regular updates.”

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.

“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,”

“Kate was amazing whilst I was on holiday. Sending me regular pictures and updates on how my little man was getting on, and he was so content when I arrived home. Will definitely be using Kate for any cat sitting needs moving forward! ☺️”
