House Sitting in Thurrock

“Jess looked after Rex again and, as always, she was absolutely fantastic. She took such great care of him, especially considering he’s just recently been castrated. She was really mindful of his recovery, keeping his walks short and appropriate while still making sure he was happy and comfortable. We really appreciated the regular updates—it gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such safe hands. Jess also left the house spotless, which is always a lovely touch to come home to. Rex clearly adores her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jess again. Highly recommend!”

“Thomas and Zoe house sat for us a second time over the long weekend. They really are fantastic! Their communication makes every holiday so stress free and we got some really lovely updates of our two dogs having a great time. They even went out of their way to get a pack of dog food when our food delivery got lost. I couldn’t recommended them more, we’ve had such a positive experience, they are reliable, thoughtful, and clearly wonderful with the dogs.”

“Charlotte is amazing and our dog Scout loves her. A very knowledgeable sitter, who we could trust with our house and dog. Thank you Charlotte!😊”

“Anya did an amazing job looking after my dog Arthur. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals, and Arthur was happy and relaxed in her company. She kept me updated, made sure all his needs were met, and gave him plenty of attention and affection. When I returned home, the house was clean and tidy, which was a lovely bonus. It was clear that both Arthur and my home had been very well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anya to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and respectful of their home. I’d happily book her again.”

“Our dog Pippa had a great time with Kezia when she came to dog sit for us. Kezia is very friendly and easy to work with, and Pippa was very at ease with her which made us feel reassured. Would definitely recommend.”

“Emine was really lovely and responsible when house sitting with our cat and dog. She gave lots of updates and pictures of the pets, went above and beyond in looking after them, and took great care of our home. Highly recommend!”

I would take care of your pets just as I do with mine. Alongside Buddy, I also have 3 cats who have been looked after since born. I am on a 4 on and 4 off basis within my current employment.

I am not providing this service as of now.

About: 🐾 About Us My partner Kevin and I began pet sitting when we moved to Chafford Hundred in 2024 and have taken care of over 100 dogs since! I previously worked as a primary school teacher and now look after animals full time. We provide boarding and daycare for dogs in our home and I offer drop-ins, walks and daytime housesitting for dogs, cats and small animals in your home :) ⭐️ What Sets Us Apart We are fully insured, DBS checked and qualified! We hold an Ofqual certification in Canine Care, Behaviour and Animal Welfare at Level 3. We provide constant care, are experienced with dogs of all sizes from puppies to seniors, and are equipped to handle a variety of medical and behavioural issues. Above all, we are sitters who genuinely love the animals that we care for and will do everything that we can to make them feel at home. You can always expect prompt replies and regular updates with photos and videos of what they're getting up to! 🏡 Boarding & Daycare For Dogs We offer a home away from home and provide 24/7 attention to your furry friend. When we do go out, we usually take the doggies with us, and for overnight stays they are either with us or in their own room monitored via our pet cams. We walk each dog for a minimum of 40 minutes to an hour every day, on a different route each time, and cover all of their feeding, playing and cuddling needs! We record daily observations of your dog and supervise socialisation with other like-minded dogs. Daycare is £35 for up to 10 hours of care and is £5 more during holiday seasons (plus Rover fees). Boarding is £5 more than daycare per 24 hours of care. We offer a £15 daily discount on a second dog from the same family. We are flexible if you need to book early drop-off or late evening pickup times and can provide our own secure transportation for boarding at an additional cost. 🔑 Drop-Ins, Walks & Housesitting For Dogs, Cats & Small Animals I provide in-home services for cats, small animals and dogs who prefer their own space while Kevin cares for our dogs at home! I'm happy to care for animals of all sizes (I grew up with a GSD, a cat and two loveable guinea pigs!) - and if I haven't looked after your type of pet before, I will take the time to learn everything needed to ensure that they receive the best care possible. For drop-ins visits, I'll make sure that your pet is fed, watered, played with and given plenty of attention and companionship. I can also let them out for toilet breaks, clean litter trays and give them any medications that they need. For walks, I'll take your dog out for the length of time that they need and then settle them back home. When housesitting, I always send updates with photos and videos of your pets and triple-check that your house is secure when leaving. 🗓️ Our Availability For Boarding & Daycare We are available every day for doggy daycare and long-stay dog boarding (unless we are fully booked!). We are usually up between 7am and 9pm but cater to early drop-offs and late pickups at the time of booking. For our returning doggies, we often have more calendar space and can help out last-minute with additional requests. Please check our calendar to see our upcoming availability and feel free to send us any requests that you might have :) 📆 My Drop-In & Housesitting Availability I'm available for drop-in visits and daytime housesitting for dogs, cats and small animals around our boarding schedule. I'm happy to travel within cycling distance (up to around 20 minutes away) and keep my calendar updated for these services, so please see my upcoming availability and feel free to get in touch! 🏡 Our Home We live in a detached 3 bedroom house with a large, bright and sunny fully-fenced garden in a beautiful green area in Chafford Hundred. We are lucky enough to be right next to Chafford Gorges Nature Reserve where we walk the dogs in our care regularly. We love visiting our very many local parks and surrounding dog-friendly spaces, including wide-open fields and forests only a short walk away. We have no children. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. We only ever crate dogs if part of their usual routine, and if we are boarding dogs from different families, each will have their own room to sleep in. Dogs are always fed separately and supervised when interacting with other dogs for utmost safety. Between sits, we clean our house thoroughly for our next doggy guests. We are also a 5 minute walk from our local Medivet for peace of mind! 🥎 What We Provide We have ensured that every room in our house is dog-friendly and set up for playtime and comfort. We have everything from different sized dog beds to air conditioning for the dogs in our care. We provide all of the essentials (aside from your dog's usual food) including: toys for different play styles, treats & puzzles, bowls, travel bottles, towels, poo bags & puppy pads. We keep spare leads, "I'm staying with my sitter" ID tags with our details on and wearable nightlights while your dog is staying with us for extra security. We have grooming supplies from deodorising shampoos and wipes to brushes for different fur types. We also keep a doggy first aid kit for all kinds of ear, eye, skin, paw and digestion emergencies. Your dog will be kept secure with a safety gate at the front door and will be supervised by us and our pet cameras. We have thought about as many things as possible to ensure that your dog is given top-quality care. 🐶 Our Dogs & Our Intake Policy We live with our two Pomsky girls, Nala and Willow, who we adopted from a rescue in August 2025. Our girls are experienced doggy playmates and being 3 and 4 years old, don't bother other dogs. They enjoy cuddling on the sofa with their friends and playing in the garden if invited! We house up to 4 guest dogs at a time (unless two are from the same family). For the safety of all of our dogs, we are unable to accept dogs who display aggression or are uncomfortable with us handling them. We generally accept neutered males only (unless they are puppies or returning doggies!) but we accept unspayed females out of season.

“Tanvi C is the first house sitter that I have used and initially I was worried. However, as soon as I met Tanvi I felt instantly reassured that my precious pup would be thoroughly spoilt. Cheno has been so well cared for and has formed a bond with Tanvi which is obvious from the photos. Tanvi has looked after my house perfectly and I have been very impressed from the start. Tanvi has a clear love for animals. I have been able to have a relaxing break knowing all was fine at home. Thank you Tanvi. T.”

“They took great care of my elderly dog and cat while i was away for a couple days, sent video updates, they looked great!”

About: Hi, I’m Tori! I’ve proudly run Auntie Toris Pet Sitting Services since 2019, providing reliable, loving care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I previously worked as a Veterinary Care Assistant, so I’m confident with feeding routines, administering medication (including tablets and injections such as insulin), and supporting pets with additional or ongoing needs. Alongside this, I have experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments – from puppies to senior pets, as well as more nervous or sensitive dogs who need a calm and patient approach. I also have cats of my own and regularly foster, including hand-rearing young kittens, so I’m very comfortable caring for more delicate animals too. I’m first aid trained, DBS checked, and fully insured, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe, experienced hands. Most importantly, I treat every animal as if they were my own, giving them the same level of care, attention, and love. Pet care is my full-time routine, not something I fit in around other commitments. I run my own pet sitting business, so my days are structured around the pets in my care – including walks, feeding, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’m home throughout the day for most of the week, which means pets are rarely left alone for long periods and can stick closely to their usual routines. I also keep my schedule organised to ensure each pet gets the time and attention they need, rather than overbooking. Because this is my main focus, I’m flexible and able to adapt to different needs, whether that’s early mornings, evening visits, or more frequent check-ins. I tailor my care to each individual pet to make sure they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and time to relax. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and sleep, and I always take introductions slowly to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication, so they feel secure in their own environment while you’re away. I have experience with a wide range of needs, from energetic dogs to more nervous or sensitive pets, and I always adapt my approach to suit them. I’m also confident administering medication if required. Throughout every service, I prioritise safety, routine, and lots of love and attention, and I’m happy to provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: A secondary school teacher who lives in Laindon, Basildon and works in Dagenham. Being a caring person is part of my personality, from my career choice as a teacher, to my own pet Prince (who certainly acts/is treated like one 🤦🏽‍♀️😂). I’m that person who will try and stroke every cat in the street and if I’m with anyone continuously tell said person about how cute the cats eyes, paws, tails, colouring is (even though they are with me and can see anyways 😂- I just get wayyyy too excited!). I am also a cat foster carer for Pippa’s Army Cat Charity, due to this I have experienced many different temperaments of cat, bathed cats and administered medications. I owned rabbits, rats, hamsters etc. (willing to sit more than one type of animal)
