Pet Sitting Southend-on-Sea

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.

About: From a young age i have always loved all kinds of animals (more than humans🤭) We had cats, rabbits, hamsters at home from a young age then when i married my husband we homed a beagle cross from a puppy who we had till sadly we had to rehome at the age of 7 years. We as a family love animals including my son who was really gentle with our dog and played with him whilst letting him have his own space. I love going to different places for walks, the woods, beach & country parks so having a dog to take with me would be lovely company after rehoming ours. If your searching for a pet sitter who loves animals and will give them lots of love and attention look no further! I offer flexible and customizable pet sitting services to meet the needs of both you and your pets. Please get in touch. Thankyou Victoria I am currently a stay at home mum and have lots of time & love to give an animal. I also drive i have an estate with a large boot big enough for dogs, also available for drop in pet visits play, feed, etc. After rehoming my dog i really miss taking him for walks, finding new places to explore and giving an animal that love and attention they deserve. When we had our dog we would go out everyday somewhere new for a long walk exploring and meeting other dogs which he loved. We live in a spacious 2 bedroom flat with a communal garden area. Please see pictures. Pets are allowed on the beds and sofas, our dog used to sleep in bed with us so its not problem if they wanted to. I can administer flee and worming tablets if needed. I dont have a crate as we got rid of ours as it distressed our dog but can use yours if your dog is happy & content in a crate. Our dog had severe separation anxiety so I couldn't leave him he came everywhere with me, so if your dog suffers with this please be assured I will not leave them alone and fully understand how anxious it makes them. I can also come to your house for check ins, walks, play and feed.

“Great service from Rhiannon! She has been amazing when looking after my puppy. She keeps me very informed on each visit aswell as sending me photos of videos of my pup! She has also been very flexible with my weekly schedule & would definitely recommend Rhiannon to anyone looking for home visits!”

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.

About: I've owned and cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, budgies and dogs, so I understand the love and attention pets need. I'm reliable, patient and caring, and I'll treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm happy to care for dogs, cats and small animals, including feeding, playtime, walks and companionship. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I'm DBS checked, fully insured, reliable, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them lots of love, patience, and individual attention. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel happy, safe, and completely at ease while you're apart I'm flexible and can offer pet care during the day, evenings and weekends with advance notice. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and care while you're away Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I will follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. I'll keep your home tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you're away

“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, 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!

“Michelle was the perfect cat sitter and completely eased some nerves we had about leaving our cat, we received the best updates that really bought a smile to our faces and felt we could totally relax while we were away. Our cat was super happy and chilled when we came back and we’ll definitely use Michelle again 🥰”

“Olivia cared for our cats as if they were her own. She sent us regular pictures and updates, reassuring us that they were doing well. Olivia also spent quality time with them, making sure they were attended to. Her dedication and genuine affection for our pets were evident.”

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.

“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.

“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! ”

“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! ☺️”

“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 have always had a dog in the family since I was 2 yrs old. I grew up with dogs, English Springer Spaniel, Dobermans and Greyhounds. I had one dog who lives with my ex that we both got from a puppy and lived with us for 10 years. He is a Schnorkie cross (Schnouzer/Yorkie). I had JJ from a puppy and he is now 13 years old, so have experience of looking after small and big dogs. With my partner took on a Cavachon whose 12 and a half yrs. Love her dearly and she gets lots of love from us and attention and rewards us with lots of licks. I don't work so have plenty of time to walk and enjoy the love of walking dogs, and want dog walking to give me joy and exercise and help other dog owners that need and want help in walking their dog/s and pop-in services and care for their furry babies too. I am happy to walk two dogs if from the same owner, depending on breed and temperament. I drive so I am happy to drive to your home then walk your dog/s and care for them in their own homes. Providing we are both happy with each other and after an initial meet and greet with you and your dog/s I will will then accept the booking. I want you to be happy with me and visa versa and will always have you and your pets interest and care 100% of the time. Will care for your dog in your own home giving them lots of attention and play with their toys and letting them out to do their business. Can incorporate a dog walk with my visit if required. I love dogs and this is my love of what I do during the week days. I will make sure your garden is secure and more the surrounding area if walking your dog too. We will discuss any concerns in our meet and greet.

“Dardana has been walking my dog a few times already. She is caring and she knows animals and how to approach them. One of my dogs is a rescue dog and she is generally afraid of strangers. But Dardana still manages to have her walk with her. Dardana is also very helpful. I highly recommend her and am thankful for having her.”
