Pet Sitting in Tendring

About: I’ve helped my parents walking our dog since he was a puppy. I’ll feed him on time and company him when his family aren’t around. I’ll make sure he has a familiar person during thunderstorms and fireworks. I’m currently working part time and will be free most days of the week. I’m an animal person so they fit in perfectly with my free time. I have a fenced and good sized garden where my dog can safely play and have fun. I make sure my dog has a walk and playtime. He has his food accordingly and a relaxing evening before bed.

About: I worked with dogs that had behavioural problems and also fostered dogs with problems. I also worked with Tendring Animal Friends until they closed. I worked for the RSPCA in the assessment kennels and have worked with dogs with behavioural problems and fostered dogs I have been a dog owner for over 30 years and am extremely experienced. I live in a cottage with secure fenced garden with a wood and fields backing on to my home. I can even do beach walks. I do not have a dog anymore. I love dogs and do my utmost to provide a home from home stay for them. I can offer references Before booking any services you are welcome to view my home and a meeting can be arranged. I am also fully insured. Unfortunately I can only board small to medium sized dogs Jill I am home all of the time and don’t normally leave the dogs whilst they’re in my care. I can drive for walks to the beach if the dogs are used to cars. I’m only 20 minutes away from Frinton I try as much as possible to replicate their normal home routine. I have access to field walks without taking the dogs on a road

About: I have a genuine love of animals and practical experience of caring for neighbours, friends and family pets. I also have theoretical knowledge a level 3 extended diploma in animal management. I am confident with daily walks, feeding schedules, following care instructions and making sure pets are safe, happy and always looked after whilst in my care. I am reliable, trustworthy and caring and will treat dogs as if they are my own. From Mondays to Fridays I currently volunteer for the Essex Wildlife Trust so I am flexible and free to dog walk and house sit your pets including at weekends. I train and play football for a local club but am happy to accommodate looking after your much loved pet around these commitments. From the beginning I will want to get to know your pet so I will spend time bonding with them, playing, talking and keeping them company. I know that pets like consistency so I will stay close to their normal routine which I will ensure I fully understand by asking for clear instructions from you. This includes knowing feeding times, portion sizes and any dietary needs and health requirements, where and when they are walked and their comfort toys and sleeping habits. I will add details of your vet to my pet plan should a medical emergency arise. If your pet uses your garden I will check that the gate is closed and the fences are secure before letting them out and I will then supervise and clean up their mess. I will send you regular updates and photos and of course report anything of concern immediately. I appreciate that it's not only your pet that I am responsible for but also your home which I will do my best to keep clean and tidy and follow any house rules that you give me.

About: I've taken care of little medium and big paws 🐾 Your fur baby's will love me walking them and sitting with them 🩷 Loving them I'm currently available every Thursday for your paw pups! From 9 - 2.30 your pups are going to have the best time with me no doubt about it I have a fenced yard with a back garden, I also have the freedom to take them on nice long walks on the field and greenery

About: From a young age I have always been surrounded by dogs and after years of pestering, my parents bought me a dog aged 13. Her name was Lexi; she was a white, fluffy Bichon Frise and she was perfect! I trained her, walked her everyday and gave her all the love in the world. Sadly, last year, she passed away and I have been craving some dog love ever since. I have just moved to London to pursue my acting career and would love to meet some dogs along the way! My availability is very good throughout the whole week. The only time I am unavailable is between the hours of 3-7 Thursdays and Friday evenings. Having had an escape artist of a dog in the past and looked after family and friends dogs right from pups, you can trust that I have the skills to create a safe environment, house train and crate train.

“Megan was reliable and kept us updated whilst we were away. For 10 days she did drop in visits to our kittens and stayed in good communication with us. This is the 2nd time we’ve used Megan and we would rebook her again in the future. She was great with our cats and they enjoyed her company.”

“I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. On our first meeting she showed a real true care with my cats and they took to her instantly too. Working away is always a worry when leaving our cats in the hands of others, especially as we have two with medical needs, so finding Rover and Amy has been a blessing. To receive a notification when Amy is with them is of great comfort and to see daily check list and photos was very welcomed. Arriving home to a lovely clean space where the trays and food areas were spotless was wonderful and or cats look like they had a blast and love their new kitty nanny! I will be booking Amy for our Holiday next year knowing that they are in safe and caring hands!”

“Eloise is just perfect. She did an excellent job with Kaya and Coco, was always on time, and was willing to change the schedule last minute when necessary. Great updates and photos. Would recommend highly!”

“I am feeling Extremely happy. Our Communication via the booking went extremely well. I met with Lucia prior to going away and we got on like a house on fire :-) My cats warmed to Lucia instantly and upon my return were extremely relaxed and happy, it was like I had never been away. Looking forward to booking Lucia in the near future.”

“Maddie did a great job looking after my cat Loki. She kept me posted with regular up dates the whole time I was away. Came back to a happy well looked after cat. Thank you Maddie :)”

About: I have many years experience looking after pets for friends and family while they are away as well as walking many pets in the area growing up I am at home with my toddler apart from 3 days a week where she attends nursery. We have a lovely home and garden space Care for every pet as if it is part of our own family ! Having fun days out on walks , having fun snacks and lots of play time!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and sometimes babysit my sisters dog and cat, I’ve also been entrusted by neighbours and friends to care for their pets whilst they’re on holiday. I work part time so could definitely make time for pet care within my schedule, I have clubs and hobbies but I’m confident that timings can be sorted! I wouldn’t necessarily pet sit from my house just due to my current circumstances! However this may change in the future. As for a pet owners home, however you feel comfortable! I know each dog/cat has their own quirks and personalities.

About: I have taken care of friends and family’s dogs for years, I also worked in a Rescue for 2 years looking after 30+ dogs at a time. I am currently self employed so I am very flexible on timings. Whether that be for pet sitting or walking I am very adaptable and available I make sure to understand your pets needs and what you require in order to relieve any stress from yourself and from your pet at all times

About: I am a trained dog groomer and have been dog sitting and walking on and off for a couple of years. I also have worked abroad in dog rescue. I work from home so I am home all of the time. So I can walk them daily and play with them and I am home all day and night with them. I care for pets in my own home , I have my own dog and child who is 5 so they will have to be dog and child friendly.

“Charlotte dropped everything to walk Savannah when our regular sitter couldn't help. I will be forever grateful to her for her support, as I was able to go out and enjoy my birthday. Thank you, Charlotte :)”

About: Having grown up with dogs of all sizes I miss having one around more than ever! I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup for daytime drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays. I’m currently working Weds-Sun in Colchester, finishing at 3:30pm - so would be available all day Mondays & Tuesdays or from 4pm the rest of the week. Whatever works best for you and your dog/s, I’ll be happy to follow the guidelines that you feel most comfortable with in your home/ environment.

“Roxanne was really friendly, professional and completely trustworthy. I was a bit nervous leaving my pets but roxanne put me at ease and I had complete peice of mind knowing that my pets were being cared for while I was away. I will definitely be using rover again and would recommend roxanne to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: I have a genuine interest in giving your dog the best experience possible, whether its taking them on an awesome walk or having them stay in our loving home. I have been the go to pet sitter for all my friends and family for a good few years and have now decided to expand and offer out my services a little further afield. I have my own dog agility club which my dog guests may be able to take part in on request of their owners. I have 2 dog of my own, both cross breeds, one small and one medium sized, they are friendly, kind and welcoming to new dogs, but are also up for playing. Im looking forward to hearing from you so we can discuss your needs. I currently work full time so am only offering drop In services and dog walking at present. I do shift work which means I will have different times avaliable. In the near future I will be offering boarding services, when I do, the dogs will get walked twice a day except on agility club days where my dogs and any doggy guests will accompany me at the agility field. On my days off we may go out for the day for a longer walk/adventure. if your dog prefers the quiet life then they can stay home and get a short walk and snuggle up. If it is dog walking service you are looking for I will be avaliable mornings and afternoons depending on my shifts, I can walk them solo or with my own dogs depending on your preference. Once I offer boarding services, your dog will become part of the family, joing in with our daily walks, games and snuggles.. I have a secure garden and my house is very close to a beach and nature reserve. When providing walking services I will walk them in the local area near your home unless a trip farther afield has been agreed.
