“Gabriella looked after our little Pluto and couldnt of asked for a better dog sitter. Made sure he was well looked after and kept us updated constantly. If you are looking for someone to look after your puppy/dog I’d definitely recommend Gabriella. I will be using her again!”

“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”

“Laura & Kevin were amazing, they really took care of my dog like he was their own, kept me updated at all points and were really attentive to his needs. I Will definitely be leaving him with them again whenever I’m not available.”


About: *** Day Care spaces available on Wednesday and Friday from 1st September - please contact me for further information £25 per day (up to 12 hours), either regular slots or just one off days *** I offer a home from home for your dogs stay. If your dog stays with me, I will follow your routines and feeding plans and give them a lovely holiday in a happy, safe and loving environment. They will have regular exercise and playtime. I always like to arrange a ‘meet and greet’ with your dog so that we can get to know each other and so that your dog can become familiar with my home. I have 2 fur babies of my own, a small and medium sized dogs who are friendly and love to have doggy friends come to stay. I am a dog lover, who has had dogs both as a child and as an adult, so has lots of experience. I look after small to medium sized dogs and I accept dogs of any age, young or senior and am based in Hornchurch, Essex. I am insured, DBS Checked and hold a Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Diploma I work from home, part time, doing Accounts so looking after the dogs just fits in with my day. I would not be leaving the dogs for any length of time. I have a fenced in garden which allows the dogs the space and freedom to play. I live close to the park and fields for walking the dogs (if owner allows).
“Ollie my 8 month old Cockerpoo had a great time with Sayo. My daughter actually dropped him off and collected him. When we arrived home I must admit that Ollie seemed a big calmer (which was needed as he is a typical puppy). Anyway I would Definately book Sayo again.”

“Owen looked after our dog Yuki well. He sends photos and videos everyday to show how Yuki is doing and updated me about yuki's first night the house which is very comforting. Owen lives in the area so its a plus as proximity is our priority. I went for a good review online thats how I found Owen.Will def ask for help from Owen again in the future”

“Honestly Rachael is super professional when it comes to looking after my dog. I can’t praise her enough, I don’t even need to think about how he might be as I know she loves my dog as much as I do. Highly recommend”


“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”

“Sue was a brilliant host to our very excitable Nala. Sue provided great updates and we felt comfortable in knowing Nala was in safe hands. I would definitely recommend Sue and will be using her again in the future.”

“Kim and her partner are fantastic dog sitters. Max has been with them most days this week and they take good care of him like he is their own ❤️ Kim always organizes group walks in private fields and sends very regular updates. She is also flexible and accommodating. Will def book again and am very glad to know that we have someone close by that we can leave Max when we go on holidays with 100% peace of mind 😊”

“We couldn't be happier with the care that Basil Boris provided for our dogs, Hugo and Peppa! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love animals. Peppa is 15 years old and requires a little extra attention like eye drops and cleaning and she was perfectly looked after. It really put our minds at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. Meanwhile, Hugo had a blast with their two other dogs and came home happy and well exercised. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the stay, which made us feel completely connected to our pets while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter for our fur babies. We’ll definitely be booking them again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Basil Boris, for taking such wonderful care of Hugo and Peppa!”

“Five stars isn’t enough for Charlie and Gary! They looked after Lola, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, they were incredibly attentive, asked lots of questions at the meet and greet, and then followed Lola's care instructions. We were so grateful for the frequent photo updates, it really put our minds at ease seeing her so happy and settled while we were away. Lola had a blast on all her lovely walks, and the best part was seeing her bond with their dog, Jenny. By the time we picked her up, they were buddies! It’s such a relief to find sitters who truly treat your pup like family (and let's her snuggle on the sofa!) We would recommend Charlie and Gary in a heartbeat and will definitely be booking with them again in the future. Thanks again, guys!”

“IT was the first time that we had left our dog with people she had not met before. All of my queries were answered prior to the drop off date and i felt reassured that she would be cared for. Handover was easy and our dog trotted happily into the property. Photo updates were sent daily and texts reassuring us that she was eating well and sleeping soundly. I would definitely use Kevin & Denise again as they gave us the reassurance we needed to enable us to relax whilst we were away. Thank you”

“Buckley had the most wonderful stay with Siu Yung and was treated like one of the family, with so much kindness and care. Even though the booking was very last minute, Siu Yung was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated throughout, and kindly waited up late for our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her—Buckley is already looking forward to his next visit.”


About: I've grown up around dogs and they've always been a huge part of my life. We had a family dog throughout my childhood, and today I regularly care for my mum's three dogs whenever she's away, often for extended periods. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they stick to their usual routines. I'm also the go-to dog walker for my aunties' dogs, Doris and Bolt, who I absolutely adore. Whether it's long walks, trips to the park, games of fetch or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I'd love a dog of my own, but with future travel plans, I've decided to wait until I can give one the lifelong commitment it deserves. In the meantime, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other owners peace of mind that their dogs are in caring, responsible hands. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to adapt to their routine, energy levels and any instructions you leave. Whether your dog loves adventures, long walks, cuddles on the sofa or simply needs someone patient and reliable, I'll make sure they're well cared for and treated like one of the family. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I'll always care for your dog as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're having a great time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. I can easily step away for regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and comfort breaks as needed. I usually take a lunchtime walk and spend most of my day at home, meaning pets are rarely left alone. I’m also available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and boarding, with evenings and weekends fully dedicated to care as well. Pets in my care are looked after in a calm, secure, and pet-friendly home environment. I live in a terrace house with a fully fenced garden, allowing safe outdoor access. Inside, I have non-carpeted floors for easy cleaning and sofa covers so pets are welcome to relax comfortably. I am comfortable with puppies and follow owner instructions closely, including routines and feeding. Pets are not left alone during bookings unless absolutely necessary, and never for more than around two hours unless agreed with the owner. I can support some medication needs depending on the type and instructions provided, always prioritising safety and trust.

“Monica took wonderful care of my dog, Tia, while I was away on holiday. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. Tia was very happy, well looked after, and clearly received lots of love and attention. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Monica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much Monica for taking such great care of Tia!”

All I can say is that we've made the best choice for our dog to stay with Elisa! We've received daily updates and photos from her about Taby's walks and relax times. Our dog has minor anxiety and Lisa's family and her dog has accommodate her needs perfectly. We've been very lucky to find reliable dog sitter, which allowed us to enjoy our holiday. Will we leave our dog with Lisa? Absolutely yes! Thank you, Lisa!

Trisha W. looked after my dog Tia from 26/06/2026 to 28/06/2026, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Tia was a bit anxious at first, but Trisha managed her so well and made her feel comfortable and settled. Trisha was kind, responsible, and gave Tia lots of love and attention. I felt very comfortable knowing Tia was in such good hands. Thank you, Trisha, for taking such great care of Tia. I would happily recommend you and would love for Tia to stay with you again in the future

Maria and her husband were brilliant with my nervous 10 year old dog. They were patient, kind and took on board her feeding schedule with no problems. Maria was always polite, friendly and reliable. She gave us updates during the stay including photos. We will definitely be using her again.

Rolo had the best time with Nicole we received daily updates along with photo's which helped as this was the first time he had boarded away from us. I spoke to Nicole a couple of times and she made me feel at ease. I would definately use Nicole again in the future and would recommend her as well. Thank you Nicole x
Lola had a great time staying with Jack and Otis! He looked after her through the heatwave and kept her nice and calm. We loved the videos of Lola playing with Otis - and seeing her adventures in the creek. We will be sure to have Jack care for Lola next time we are away. Thank you!

My French Bulldog Stella, stayed overnight with Sarah and her husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sarah was so lovely, really flexible, and clearly brilliant with dogs. Stella settled in straight away and when I picked her up she looked completely relaxed and at home, which was really reassuring. Sarah kept me updated while Stella was there which I really appreciated, and it was clear Stella was being really well looked after. I’d definitely recommend Sarah and will 100% book Stella in again.

Well I can’t put it into words how well looked after our little Hope was!!!! We have contacted Marisa last minute to enquire about her availability and we were lucky enough to be accepted. Our miniature poodle was spoiled with love, cuddles and socialising (not sure we can keep up with Marisa) and we received lots of updates. As a dog owner you can tell when your dog enjoys their time with the dog sitter and we are more than happy about the choice we made with Marisa. Thank you! ❤️🐕🐾🐶

Emily and her family were fantastic! Whilst I was away Emily sent photos and videos where Woody looked settled, comfortable and was enjoying his stay. Emily’s communication was fantastic at all points. On a cold walk Emily had made sure Woody had a jumper on (after I forgot to pack one) which assured me he was being looked after incredibly well. I would highly recommend Emily and would definitely be booking with her again.

Our Swiss Shepherd Lancelot had a fabulous stay with Sarah. We received lots of pictures and were kept updated with how we was doing. He's rarely away from us so we were a bit nervous about how he'd get on in a different environment but he had a brilliant time and was very well looked after. Plus he made a buddy for life in her dog Obi!

Poor Terrance is getting a bit old and needy, Marianna and her family were so kind and patient with him. She kept me up to date with photos and messages and I felt happy he was in good hands. Would happily book with her again if she will have him. Thank you Marianna.

Katie looked after Freya while mum & dad got married for 2 nights 😁 Katie was extremely attentive as usual, took freya on lots of walks and she was so chilled when she came home. Thank you Katie for putting our mind at ease while we were so busy, she even sent us a cute photo collage of Freya to say congratulations the day after! Definitely our most trusted sitter. Can't wait to see Katie again!
