Pet Boarding Tillingham

“Loki seemed really comfortable and happy in Cathy and Stan's company. It's great that Cathy understands big dogs and retrievers' love for dirty water sources! He's been snoozing since I picked him up so a good sign he had a blast! ❤️”

About: We’ve both grown up with dogs and have spent many years caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs. Between us, we have over two years of pet sitting experience, as well as a lifetime of owning and looking after our own family dogs. We treat every dog as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. We enjoy playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and taking them on regular walks in the lovely parks and green spaces near our home. We’re also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care they may need. As a couple, there’s always someone available to give your pet the care and companionship they deserve. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with people you can trust, and we’ll do everything we can to make them feel right at home. For everyone’s comfort and hygiene, we kindly require all dogs to arrive clean when coming for daycare or boarding. We both work full-time from home, which means we’re around throughout the day to provide plenty of care, attention, and companionship. Dogs won’t be left alone and will have regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of affection. We enjoy being active and love taking dogs for walks in the nearby parks and green spaces. We also make sure each dog has time to relax, stick to their usual routine, and feels comfortable and settled while staying with us. Your dog’s safety and happiness are our top priorities. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore. We also have our own friendly two-year-old miniature Dachshund, Bella, who is calm, gentle, and very sociable. She has never shown any signs of aggression and enjoys the company of other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for visiting pets. We’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, medication (if required), and any specific instructions you provide. We supervise interactions, keep the environment clean and safe, and treat every dog as if they were part of our own family, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay.

“This was my first time booking Adele & Husband. And they looked after my Frenchie perfectly! Had regular updates and pictures. Amazing! When going away again will definitely being booking with Adele again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“It was the first time we had left Peggy so a little anxious. Catriona was lovely, when we first introduced her to Peggy then popped to her home we could see she would look after her. Peggy enjoyed meeting Cooper, Catriona’s dog and had a nice time. Catriona was sending me video’s, photo’s of Peggy as she knew I’d be anxious, which I needn’t have been. Would definitely have no hesitation in using Catriona again and recommending- thank you for looking after Peggy 🥰.”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! At home, I’m proud pet parent to two mischievous cats, Bobby & Milo, and one fun-loving dog, Rolo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless cuddles, playtime adventures, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and always treat every pet as if they were my own. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, ensuring your beloved companions are in safe and professional hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of wagging tails and purring cats! 🐶🐱 I’d love to meet you and your furry family, so please feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! Pet care is a huge part of my daily life. As the owner of two cats, Bobby & Milo, and a dog, Rolo, caring for animals is already built into my routine every single day. From feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and cuddles to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, I’m very experienced in managing the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I structure my schedule around providing reliable, consistent care, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. Whether it’s morning walks, daytime visits or evening feeds I enjoy incorporating pet care into my week and genuinely love spending time with animals. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s something I’m passionate about. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I always provide care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, cleaning litter trays, and, of course, plenty of affection and companionship. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel relaxed while their owners are away. For dog walking services, I ensure dogs receive safe, enjoyable walks suited to their age, energy level, and requirements. Whether they enjoy a brisk adventure or a gentle stroll, their wellbeing and safety are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I am also fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, offering an additional level of reassurance that your beloved pets are in safe and professional hands.

“Daniel was very accommodating and our staffy was well looked after. Plenty of update photos and videos. Great communication before and during her stay. Regular walks and she seemed very comfortable and happy to be there. Would definitely recommend.”

“Great service! Kept me updated, by sending photos. Prompt responses alaways. To Max on with short notice and very understanging. Will be booking again for sure 😁”

About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs. I provide a safe, secure home environment with a fully fenced garden and two friendly, well-socialised dogs to keep your pet company. If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised care. I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.

“Geri had an amazing time with Briony, I received regular updates and videos/photos of Geri enjoying herself with the other dogs in the household. I could relax knowing the Briony was conscious of ensuring the dogs were all introduced appropriately, and she was so well cared for whilst she was there. Thank you for taking care of her 😊”

About: Growing up with a range of dogs, from smaller to larger breeds I am looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I am a home based service in Kelvedon, based by the train station. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Working from home in a desk based job multiple days a week, I am able to easily balance pet care in to my daily schedule. I have a fenced garden with natural grass, with enough space for up to two dogs comfortably. Lots of lovely local countryside walks on my doorstep.

“Mac’s stay with Emma was great. I think he had a nice holiday while I was away on my holiday. He settled back into his routine at home quickly and he is very happy so that shows he was well looked after by Emma and her family. Thanks Emma.”

“Amadeusz watched our senior chihuahua for a bit over a week - I was nervous going into it because Ellie can be a bit wary of new people, but she settled right in with Amadeusz! We received regular updates on how she was doing, along with photos - it provided peace of mind that she was well taken care of in our absence. When our return was delayed due to problems with the flight, Amadeusz was very flexible and told us not to worry. We will definitely book again next time we need care for Ellie. Thank you!”

“Kevin & his family had our Lenni overnight for us. Lennie loved his stay & the family and was unaffected at being away from home. Thank you”

“Lorna is great. Our cockapoo had such a great overnight stay and lovely walks too. Highly recommend”

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🩷

“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!”

“Just picked up my dog Eddie from Edward and what a wonderful couple him and his wife are. Eddie has had a great time he was so well looked after it was the perfect home from home. So much so we have already booked them for our summer holiday. He kept in touch the whole time we were away with photos and videos. I cannot recommend him enough”

Donna S.

“What can I say... Amazing The initial meet up, we had a walk with Bleu and Sandra's dog. Her dog is very chilled. Dropped off, pictures every few days. Bleu looked calm happy. I would highly recommend and I'll definitely be returning”

“Sarah was great. Good comms, obviously loves dogs: Bernie came back very happy.”

About: I have grown up and cared with dogs big and small for as long as I can remember. As of a couple of years ago I have owned and looked after reptile's and hamsters, dogs and cats. I currently own 6 small dogs and a chameleon whom I dedicate my time to. I have experience with elder dogs, diet requirements and medicine requirements that I am happy to apply if needed. I am currently studying but have plenty of time for furry friend visits. Happy to do daytime or evenings visits, fitting in around owners schedules. I take each owners home into consideration and assess each dog’s needs individually and how I can care for them in a safe and fun manor.
