About: Me and my partner Josh, 22 & 24 have had pets all of our lives and would love to take your pets in as our own! We have lots of free time in the day, plus being able to give your pets the holiday of a lifetime is so much fun :) Me and Josh won’t need to leave your pet on its own as there will always be one of us in the house based on our jobs. We both work away at different times of the year and this is a great opportunity for us to fill a pet sized whole in our life’s as a young couple. I have a fenced garden with lots of space to run around. Alarmed and CCTV house. More than happy to keep your pet in its normal routine and also happy to take for extra walks and special care as it’s your pets holiday too!

“Michael was fantasti! He looked after our Basset Hound like she was his own. Michael sent me regular photos and videos. I will be using Michael again, whenever we need our Polly to be looked after.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met her, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She took such amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. It’s such a relief to know we have someone so trustworthy, caring, and reliable to leave our dog with. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for everything - we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Karen was amazing and provided a wonderful holiday for our dog! We arranged a meet up prior to booking and Rocket instantly took a liking to their home. Karen was thorough in her questions even providing a questionnaire to ensure Rocket had a comfortable stay. We received regular photos and updates and they even took him for some swim time in Mersea! It was such a relief to know he was having a great time while we were away. We would absolutely recommend and thanks again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so caring for them has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends and treat every dog that stays with us as if they were my own. Most recently, we looked after my sister’s dog, Bailey, for a week while she was away. Bailey settled in really well and had a great time with us, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care I work from home so plenty of love to give, lots of walks & cuddles. I have a cockapoo too who loves other dogs and would love the company. We have a fenced garden totally safe and big to run around, plus a very loving home that they are free to roam wherever they would like.

“Our dog stayed with Cathy for 2 nights over the bank holiday. Everything was so easy. We had a quick meet and greet beforehand and then while he stayed with her we got lots of lovely updates and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate sending him to stay again when we next need it. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter in Colchester”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have a genuine love and passion for caring for them. I understand that leaving your beloved dog in someone else’s care can feel daunting, which is why I take great pride in providing a safe, loving and comfortable home-from-home experience. I have extensive experience caring for and looking after all kinds of animals, having had animals since a very young age. I’m confident in understanding their individual personalities, needs and routines. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves long walks, prefers plenty of cuddles and companionship, or simply enjoys relaxing in a peaceful environment, I will make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I live in a small but secure one-bedroom house, offering a cosy and welcoming environment with all the home comforts your dog could need during their stay. I believe dogs are happiest when they feel safe, settled and included, so I aim to make their time with me as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. Your dog’s wellbeing is my top priority. I will take the time to get to know them, follow their usual routines wherever possible and give them plenty of love, attention, exercise and companionship. I also know how important it is for owners to have peace of mind while they are away. I will provide regular updates, including photos, so you can see how your furry family member is getting on and know that they are happy, safe and receiving the very best care. For me, caring for animals isn’t simply a service — it’s something I genuinely love. Your dog will be treated with the same kindness, patience and affection that I would give my own. I have flexible part-time working hours, which allows me to be very accommodating to each dog owner’s individual schedule and needs. I’m happy to discuss preferred walking times, drop-offs, pick-ups and routines to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I offer overnight boarding throughout weekends, as well as some weekday boarding, depending on availability and the amount of notice given. I’m also able to provide regular walks and daytime care around my working schedule. Because my work is flexible, I can dedicate plenty of time, attention and playtime to the dogs in my care. I’ll make sure they have lots of company, exercise, affection and interaction rather than simply being left alone for long periods. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine wherever possible, including their preferred walking times, feeding schedule, playtime and bedtime routine. My aim is to provide a comfortable, caring and home-from-home experience while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is well looked after. Your dog’s safety, happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I want every dog who stays with me to feel relaxed, secure and truly at home, while giving owners complete peace of mind that their pet is being well cared for. Although I don’t have a fenced garden, I’m fortunate to have a lovely park just a short distance away, providing plenty of opportunity for regular exercise, fresh air and playtime. I also live close to a beautiful woodland walking route, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy longer walks and need that extra bit of exercise and adventure. I’m happy to tailor walks and activities around your dog’s age, energy level and usual routine, so whether they prefer a gentle stroll, a longer woodland walk or plenty of playtime, I’ll make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I also have a little companion of my own — Poppy, my miniature Yorkshire Terrier. She is a year and a half old, very friendly and absolutely loves dogs of all shapes and sizes. She enjoys having furry friends around and will be great company, fun and comfort for your dog while they’re staying with us. Of course, I understand that every dog is different. I’ll always take their personality, temperament and individual needs into consideration, and introductions with Poppy will be handled carefully and at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. A trial meeting before enlisting my services would be advisable. My aim is to create a safe, loving and enjoyable home-from-home environment where your dog receives plenty of attention, companionship, exercise and affection while you’re away.

About: I’m a huge dog lover with over 4 years of experience caring for my two dogs since puppies and I also volunteer with a dog rescue, so dogs really are a massive part of my life! Having two dogs myself, I know how difficult and stressful it can be finding someone you trust to look after them, which is why I’m here to help! I’m a proud mum to my daughter, a huge cuddler, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while they’re with me. Every dog in my care will be treated just like one of my own and I promise to send you updates so you feel at ease leaving them with me❤️ I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I’m around most of the time and can be really flexible with times, including those last minute plans! 🐾 In the New Year, I’ll be returning to full time work, but I’ll only be in the office 2 days a week and working from home the rest. Your dog will never be left uncared for. Me and my two cockapoos are always ready for walks, playtime or, most importantly, cuddles!❤️🐶 Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first! I have a fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, giving your dog plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have two friendly cockapoos who absolutely love to play and will be more than happy to keep your dog company! Inside, I have a baby gate so dogs can be safely separated when needed. Dogs will have access to downstairs and will only go upstairs when accompanied by me, so I always know where they are and what they’re up to. I’m more than happy to take your dog out for walks during their stay. For their safety and your peace of mind, any dog in my care will always be kept on a lead when out on normal walks, regardless of how good their recall is. I also regularly hire a fully enclosed private dog field, where they can safely come off the lead, have a proper run around and play with my two! And of course… treats are never far away😂 I always have treats to hand, but if your dog has a favourite brand, allergies or specific dietary requirements, please bring their usual treats along so I can keep everything familiar and safe🩷

“What an amazing family, thank you so much for having Burt come stay with you for the night, from the photos keeping me up todate and Burt coming home full of energy and relaxed. I would definitely be having Burt come back. Highly recommended. X”

David R.

“Lucy was brilliant! Had lots of pictures and updates during Pippa's stay with her! I could tell from the pictures how relaxed and happy Pippa was! Lucy was happy to give medication when it was needed and nothing was too much trouble! I am very sure Pippa will be staying with Lucy again in the future! Definitely recommended!”

Heather D.

“Robert and his family looked after my Labrador at very short notice. He was friendly, flexible, great at replying and also brilliant at sending update photos and videos. My dog was well loved and walked twice in 24 hours. More than he gets at home! My boy came home happy 💙 I would 100% recommend and would use Robert again!”

Jade H.

“Harry kindly agreed to looking after my pomerpoo Alfie for me whilst I was away for a short new years break. Harry provided regular updates during the stay and I was confident he was being well looked after. I could immediately tell when I picked him up that Alfie had thoroughly enjoyed his time with Harry. I have no hesitation in recommending Harry and booking Alf in again on future holidays”

Alison L.

“Patricia is such a lovely carer, She took care of our kitten who is quite shy and scared of dogs, but it is safe to say that we had 0 problems! Our cat seemed very comfortable and at ease there even from the first few days, and she sent us photos and updates all the time so we were never worried, It was the first time that we were leaving our cat with a carer so we were quite anxious, but Patricia really gave us peace of mind, We strongly recommend her!”

Leila M.

“Crunhie loved his time with Jess & Ross Thank you for taking good care of crunhie and welcoming him in your home xx”

Laura T.

“Our little Dolly stayed with Donna and Neil for 12 days and I can honestly say she had the best time. Donna and Neil are simply the best dog sitters you could wish for. So kind, caring and accommodating. They genuinely love all the dogs they care for and it shows. Dolly was so relaxed and happy the whole time she was there. Such a relief to know she is well looked after while we’re away. Thank you both so much. I think Dolly misses you both already ❤️❤️”

Steph S.

“Rita took care of my dog for 30 days and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was communicative, reliable and clearly loves what she does. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, healthy and clearly very well looked after. It’s obvious Rita pays close attention to each dog’s needs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her again for long stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter. Thank you, Rita!”
