House Sitting Thurrock

“Leaving Hazel for the first time was a nerve-wracking prospect for us, but finding Laura turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Our Goldendoodle loves everyone she meets, but as first-time users of a dog sitter, we were still anxious about leaving her with someone new. Laura immediately put all our worries to rest. She looked after Hazel in our home and took her on multiple walks throughout the day, ensuring she was completely fulfilled and thoroughly exhausted by the time we got back. Beyond that, Laura went above and beyond by cleaning up both Hazel and the house after their walks—a thoughtful touch we certainly didn't expect, especially since we told her not to worry about it! From start to finish, Laura was exceptionally friendly, punctual, and professional. Her communication was top-tier; she kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of pictures and messages, letting us know all the fun they were having. It allowed us to truly relax and enjoy a full day away, knowing Hazel was in the absolute best hands. We couldn't recommend Laura more highly!”

“Jessica came to look after our two border terriers while we went to a party. All was great. I will definitely use Jessica again to look after them.”

“Suraj was wonderful with our cocker spaniel. From the moment he entered the house he put Berry at ease and they got on really well. Suraj sent lots of photo updates and I felt totally secure knowing Berry was well looked after - we will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who have just undergone serious medical procedures and puppies, so I have a range of experience that allows me to provide the right care for your friend. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my zero-hour hospitality job, meaning I can dedicate lots of time to looking after your pet. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and being outdoors, so I’d love the opportunity to include your dog in my routine. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’d love to provide your pet with plenty of care, companionship, and attention, whether that means exciting walks, playtime, comforting company, or regular check-ins. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.

“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.”

“Mariya and her family was excellent with rusty. I had noone to take care of him when I was travelling on holiday, and they took him in like he was family. They loved him. He loved them. Its as simple as that. He fit in nicely, slept with them (even if he did eat the cats food instead of his own) and I got photos almost everyday, of him in the garden, playing, or laying in bed with them. Excellent.”

“Elisha was fantastic! She was flexible, professional, and took excellent care of Bella while we were away. She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind.

About: My experience is all personal. I have been a cat mama for 8 years now and I feel like they have taken me through the highs and lows of motherhood. From the depths of despair you feel when they're unwell or don't come home one night, to the joys of seeing them journey through anxiety and timidness to confidence and assertion. I do not have personal experience with dogs unfortunately, but I love and respect all animals and am confident enough to care for small and medium dogs. I work part-time and, therefore, have lots of free time to assist you in caring for your fur babies. My schedule changes week to week, but on average I work 2 days per week (predominantly week days). To care for your animals in your home I will be led by your instruction. I will want you to outline your expectations... after all, you know your pets better than I do! With expectations communicated I will deliver the highest level of care and respect, to your pets and your home.

“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.”

About: I’m a first-year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for dogs and animal care. I grew up around dogs and began training my own reactive dog from a young age, which gave me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, body language, and positive reinforcement training. Alongside my studies, I actively train and compete in agility, so I’m confident handling energetic, intelligent, and high-drive dogs as well as those who may be nervous or require a calmer approach. Through placements in veterinary clinics and groomers, I’ve gained hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments, particularly anxious or reactive dogs. I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for pets, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, structured play, training games, or simply needs gentle companionship and reassurance, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my routine as a vet student at the RVC. My schedule is quite flexible, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding times, play, training, and companionship, and I’m often available during weekdays as well as evenings and weekends. I prefer to care for pets in their own home whenever possible, as I find this helps them stay relaxed and comfortable in a familiar environment and routine. I always take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, introducing myself calmly and allowing them to warm up to me in their own time.

About: Hi everyone, I’m a genuine animal lover with years of experience caring for pets throughout my life. I currently have my own cat, Nahla, who I absolutely adore, so I understand how important it is to know that your pet is with someone kind, attentive and trustworthy. I’d be very happy to help with dog walking, cat/dog drop-in visits, feeding, companionship and pet sitting in your home. My aim is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable and well cared for, and I’ll treat them with the same patience and affection I would give my own. I’m reliable, responsible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding instructions, walks, playtime and any particular preferences they may have. I’m also very happy to send you updates and photos while they’re in my care. My availability is generally flexible throughout the week, particularly from around 11am onwards. I can also accommodate mornings for regular arrangements. As I have a cat of my own, I’m currently focusing on care in the owner’s home rather than boarding pets at mine. If you’re looking for someone caring and dependable to look after your pet, I’d love to hear from you. 🐕🐈🐾 My schedule is currently quite flexible throughout the week, so I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m generally available from around 11am onwards, although I can also arrange earlier mornings for regular bookings or when agreed in advance.

About: I live alone in a flat with a balcony, which is has plenty of greenery just outside and is a 5 min walk from the river in a quiet area. I grew up with cats all my life since a young child and during my adult life, my dad and I had two gorgeous Shetland sheepdogs who have sadly now both passed away. However he has now got a new Sheltie puppy who I regularly spend time with when I visit my dad. I therefore have a wealth of experience with both dogs and cats and I am a true animal lover. Living alone now, pet sitting will enable me to have more company and I also work from home full time (very occasional days in the office which can often be negotiated), which means I can offer constant companionship when pet sitting. I am also able to pet/house sit and work from home from your home if preferred. I love having a cuddle with pets so they are always most welcome on the sofa and on the bed - if they love a cuddle at night, that’s even better! I work from home full time, only having to go into the office occasionally, which is known in advance. I’d be able to have pets in my home or be able to pet sit within your home, and working from home allows me to offer constant companionship. If your dog was boarding at mine, I would be able to offer multiple walks a day (before work, after work, and a quick lunchtime walk if needed). I live in a flat so I don’t have a garden but there is greenery just outside and areas to go for long walks. I have a balcony where a dog can sit and watch the world go by. I prefer to walk dogs on a lead at all times. I am able to pet sit within your home and work from your home as long as there is reliable internet for work.
