Pet Boarding Upminster

“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”

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.

“I cannot recommend Alix enough! She took such amazing care of my dog, Roux, and went above and beyond in every way. Roux had an absolute blast with her. Alix made sure she had plenty of regular walks, playtime, and even taught her some new tricks, which was such a lovely surprise. What I appreciated most was how attentive and thoughtful Alix was in keeping me updated. She sent me regular pictures and detailed updates about Roux’s eating and potty habits, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she looks after, and Roux came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you, Alix!”

“What a lovely family! Nicola and Kerry were incredibly nice from the moment I met them - they reassured me and made me feel at ease leaving my dog with them. They’ve sent regular updates, were flexible in terms of pick up and drop off and Benji came home VERY tired! Which is a good sign! I will definitely be booking a stay with them again. Thank you both!! I really appreciate your help!”

“Ronnie and Lizet always take amazing care of my dog Paco. He’s always happy and excited to be there and gets lots of attention and exercise. They are also really good at communicating on the app, lots of regular updates on how he’s doing and quick to answer booking queries which is helpful for me as I often have to make last min arrangements because of my work.”

“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!”

“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”

Lacey A.

“Katie looked after Hugo beautifully and he enjoyed his stay. Really good communication throughout. Hugo settled quickly and made himself at home and enjoyed the attention. I felt very relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely use Katie again 😃”

Charlotte M.

“Lauren and her family are an absolute dream. They are kind and caring and took great care of my two little doggies. Despite one being quite anxious, they both settled in quickly and felt immediately at home. Lauren has a fab house and big garden so the doggies have plenty room to run around and explore. I will definitely be booking again :)”

Nicole R.

“In short, Georgina was absolutely amazing. She stepped in at the last minute to help look after our French bull dog and he was so happy with all her love and care. Very trustworthy and reliable, I will 100% be using Georgina again, thank you so much.”

Lauren B.

“Eva is a truly wonderful human. She is gentle and caring and has a love for all animals. My two dogs had the best time with Eva, cuddled everyday with all the attention they could ever need. Communication was excellent throughout. I am so happy to have found Eva, and will definitely be happy to leave our doggies with her again. Thank you so much, Eva!”

“Albus had an amazing stay with Bilqees. He was very well looked after and was very happy. We were updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay, it was so lovely to know what our little one was getting up to. Would happily leave him with Bilqees and the family anytime.”
