House Sitting Upminster

“Leanne and Kane were great with our dog, Otis, both coming to meet him (and us) before the booking. Leanne stayed with Otis overnight and took great care of him, including taking him on multiple walks and administering medication (plus sending us lots of photos). He didn’t want her to leave! We’ll definitely be booking Leanne and Kane again in the future!”

“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.”

About: I've always loved dogs and have hands-on experience caring for two French Bulldogs. Although they have now are back home to my family, caring for them taught me a lot about daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and love they need. I'm reliable, patient, and currently have a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of care and companionship for your pet. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I live in a pet-friendly area with great places for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors. Your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. I am home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their routine. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including medication, feeding schedules, and special care needs. I treat every pet with kindness and patience and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Elisha stayed at our place looking after our English Bulldog for three nights. She was very communicative sending photos and giving us updates. She understood Benito’s personality and engaged with him. We came back to find a happy dog and a house left in good order. Definitely having Elisha again :)”

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs of all ages and breeds. I grew up from the age of 3 with a black labrador who I looked after for 13 years. I have also been around many rescue dogs such as 7 ex racer greyhounds of varying temperaments and ages. I have aided in the training of puppies including the basic training of a shin tzu and the crate training and basic training of a jack russell cross. At the age of 17, I completed work experience as a dog grooming assistant, teaching me about the varying coats of breeds as well as more on behaviour of breeds and noticing conditions such as fleas, worms, tics and matting. Since coming to university I have volunteered as a dog walker and pet sitter for dogs in my area and am well accustomed to meeting all types of dogs (rescues, seniors, youths, nervous, energetic, etc). I am currently a university student so will have plenty of time to look after and spend time with your pup! I am available at weekends for boarding and every weekday evening. I am also available during the day all day over summer break! I have a secure house with a garden so no need to worry if your dog is an escape artist! When leaving the house for walks, dogs will remain secured on lead to keep them safe (unless owners specify their dog has mastered recall and are confident with others taking their dogs off leash for walks).

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: We have a 3 year old shy, but very lovely cocker spaniel. Once warmed up he’ll be your dogs best friend :) We walk 5k every morning through the country fields to burn off energy and the rest of the day is usually cuddled up on the sofa. We have been on rover for several years and made many good friends along the way. A social visit and trial is best before we lock in dates to look after another dog. If you have any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact me on here. Looking forward to hearing from you! :) I work nights and my partner works from home, so someone will always be home, night or day, to look after your dog. I update the Rover Calendar regularly. Dogs are allowed to feel at home here, they either get a lot of attention or as much space as they need depending on their temperament.

“Georgina is thoroughly reliable and always very pleasant. She gets on so well with Blue, and we have no concerns at all leaving him in Georgina's care. Always our ‘go to’. Highly recommended”

About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. I've been told my house is the 'Dog Rehab' 🫡 They always leave feeling better than when they came. I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.

About: I have owned dogs for 10 years and have started my own dog walking, sitting and pop-in visit services company- ‘About with Amie’. I also work as a palliative care nurse part time. I work as a palliative care nurse alongside my dog walking and sitting business. I cover the Havering area. My shifts and availability vary but I aim to be as accommodating as possible. I offer daytime and overnight sitting in owners houses. I like to ensure the animal/s are safe, comfortable and settled in their own surroundings. I am trust worthy and reliable.

“Thank you so much to Trisha for taking such good care of my boy Phoenix! I felt completely at ease with having Trisha stay at my house for a week and she went completely above and beyond for us for the entire time, she kept in contact with me every step of the way and I am so appreciative that she spent every moment with him. I’m honestly so glad to have found her and I love the bond she has with him now, he will really miss her and that’s why I’ll be sure to keep in touch! As well as looking after Phoenix so well she also kept the house so lovely and helped with so many extra chores which made returning to home so easy after a holiday, I honestly cannot thank her enough!”

About: We’ve recently moved to the area but don't have pets with us yet and miss their company! In our family home, we have three rescue cats (one three-legged) and two rescue rabbits. Between us we have previously owned dogs of various breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and hamsters We have a genuine love of animals and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a calm presence, we always treat pets as part of the family. With over 15 years’ experience, we regularly pet sit for family and through TrustedHousesitters, looking after cats and dogs in their owners’ homes (see reviews in photos). We’re confident handling nervous rescues and pets with health issues, experienced in administering medication, and passionate about giving animals a safe, trusted, and loving environment. Please drop us a message if you have any questions. Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule. I prioritise safety, trust, comfort, wellbeing, and happiness. Prefer caring for pets in their owner’s home due to space, but happy to adapt if needed.

About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.

“I cannot recommend Piraveen highly enough. He looked after my dog while I was away on holiday, and I returned home to a very happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. Communication was excellent throughout my trip, with regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that my dog received plenty of love, attention, and care, and that my dog was treated as part of the family rather than just a pet. Piraveen was reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive to my dog's needs and routine. Knowing that my dog was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my holiday without any worries. Thank you so much, Piraveen, for everything you did. I would not hesitate to book with you again in the future and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated dog sitter.”

About: I grew up around cats, I currently have two of my own, with all care dependant on me. I also walk dogs and pet sit during my free time. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be daunting which is why I always treat any animal under my care as my own. I strive to do my best in caring for your pet while you’re away. I aim to be dependable and someone you can trust to leave your pet in their hands. So don’t hesitate to get in touch:) I am currently in university so pet care is a very ideal option for me, as I still have a lot of availability. I love animals so this is a perfect opportunity. I work part time but I’d love to fit in animal care around my schedule. We can put any safety steps that you would like me to do, into place, whether that involves using crates, keeping windows/doors closed, etc… if your pet is wary of strangers, I’m more than willing to take the time to build trust with them.
