Hannah was great with Kylo and was very prepared, she kept me updated how he was which helped with my nerves. I highly recommend Hannah to look after their pets.”

“We booked Samantha for a one night stay. It was our first time. She responded to messages promptly. She arrived right on time. Our dog seemed happy in the videos and when we got home. The house looked as if no one had been there. We will defiantly recommend Samantha and use her in the future.”

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs- from huge army rescue German Shepards to my tiny high maintenance Pomeranian, I have loved them all! I have experience caring for blind dogs, administering medication, and even caring for my beautiful Shepherd,Max, in his final days. Dogs have always been my whole life and I truly love and care for all animals no matter their shape or size. If you’d like someone to love and care for your four-legged bestie, give me a shout! :) I am a nanny to a lovely family and I provide care for them between 7am-8am and 6pm-7pm Monday-Friday (with the exception of a Wednesday when I am with them from 3pm-7pm) and I am flexible over the weekends, I am usually somewhere in town during the day so more than happy to help out those who work 9-5. I live on a quiet close away from a main road with 3 very large brick walls surrounding my garden, I can also have plenty of room for a crate if needed.

About: Significantly more attuned than the average person to the language of dogs and cats, I am incredibly caring and adore animals. I volunteer with Guide Dogs as a respite carer and have had dogs in my life since birth, (my first word was woof and that’s no lie) and then later cats … and rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters and horses. Friends and family often ask for my assistance caring for their pets and I have a reputation for being a dog / cat magnet. I am a gardener and digital consultant, so I’ll either be at home or the dog can come out to work with me if they are well behaved and it’s something they would enjoy. Otherwise they will be left at my home - open plan kitchen and lounge for up to 4 hours (depending on the animal). The day starts with a walk, with another a dinner time. Cuddles on the sofa to end the day. I have a fenced garden with grass, no other pets or children and I live on a quiet cul de sac in the heart of the Essex countryside with walks and fields in every direction.

About: I am fully insured and DBS checked. Also First Aid Trained. I can do drop in visits for toilet breaks, feeding & walking, over night stays at your home and day time care. Also 24 hour care. I personally have had dogs for 18 years of my life so i have knowledge on how to take care of puppies and senior dogs. I take care of friends and families pets too. No matter how big or small your furry one is they are always welcomed. Whether you need someone to pop in and visit your pet or they need some company in their own home while you go out or on holiday i’m available. I will care for your pet the way i would my own. This job is my main priority just like your pet will be. I’m available most hours for house sitting and house visits, when you need someone i’m there. Weekdays or weekends. I care for your animals how you would care for them. Make sure they have food, water and attention wether it be play time, walkies or some cuddles i’m there for all your pets needs. I can guarantee their safety in my care.

About: I have several years of professional house and pet sitting experience, built up through Trusted Housesitters, where I've earned over 30 five-star reviews. Over that time I've cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments — from small, anxious dogs who need gentle handling and regular medication, to big softies who just need reassurance during thunderstorms. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's routine and personality, and I know how important it is for owners to feel genuinely at ease when they're away. Whether your dog needs calm, patient company or an energetic companion for walks, I'll make sure they're happy, safe and well looked after. Your home will be treated with the same respect and care as my own. I'm currently on a career break from Finance so I can happily make time to spend with any dog in my care. My days are flexible, which means walks, feeding and any care routines can fit around what your dog is used to rather than what suits me; whether that's a long walk or a day lounging on the sofa in their safe space. Over many sits I've encountered all sorts of dogs and learned to read what each one needs. From small rescues who are usually nervous around men and just need time and calmness, to mischievous Spaniels who will seek out their favourite muddy puddle given half the chance. I take each dog's individual needs seriously, whether that's sticking to a familiar routine, administering medication, or simply knowing when to give a dog space and when they just want company. In a pet owner's home I treat everything with care and respect, and I'm always happy to follow whatever routines and house rules the owner has in place.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and currently own a very friendly 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as well as two rabbits, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I have previous experience dog, cat and rabbit sitting for family and friends and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve always had a deep compassion for animals, and their wellbeing is always my top priority. My dog is extremely gentle and friendly with both dogs and rabbits, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I also understand how reassuring updates are for owners, so I always send plenty of photos and messages while you’re away. I’m currently studying Digital Marketing at university, which has helped me become organised, reliable and communicative. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and make them feel safe, loved and happy while you’re away 🐾 I currently work part-time alongside studying Digital Marketing at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. If I’m not home, my partner usually is, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care and exercise. I have a very friendly 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who gets along well with both dogs and rabbits. For safety and comfort, I only accept dogs that are friendly with other dogs. My own rabbits live outside in their own large secure fenced area, completely separate from visiting pets. If I care for rabbits in my home, they will always stay safely indoors. My dog is very gentle with rabbits, but if a rabbit is nervous or prefers space, I’m able to keep them fully separated to make sure they feel safe and comfortable at all times. Dogs in my care will receive at least two walks a day, lots of attention, playtime and regular photo updates for owners while they’re away 🐾

About: Dog owner to Audrey a socialised 6 year old female cockapoo who is very good with other dogs.Enjoys the company on long walks, short walks or just chilling. Available to sit as my freelance work dictates. Both my wife and I work from home so there will always be someone around. Dog walks included and a hose down when needed ;-) We have an active 6 year old cockapoo, so obviously they need to get on with one another. She is very well socialised with small and large breeds. We have a large walled garden where the dogs can run around and work allows me to let them out as needed. I walk most days locally and sometimes take them in the car to nearby destinations for a variation. Overnight - We can cater for dog who are crate trained, equally happy to have them upstairs depending on breed / size. I am a freelance photographer so you can expect Pup-dates and nice snaps of your favourite 'child' (if required)

About: 20 years of experience raising and caring for animals at home (cocker spaniel, dachshund, border-collie, maine-coone) Deeply empathetic, considerate and gentle, I'm happy to accommodate any special care requests you require. I look forward to hearing from you! Currently working part-time from home (design/printmaker), so I have plenty of moments during my day for connection and care. I have 1 daughter, so will be on school runs 8–8.15AM & 3.30–4PM, which your dogs are welcome to join me for (sometimes I run the route, if your dogs are athletic –aprx 3km). We have 2 resident mini sausage dogs, but prefer to keep them in their own part of the house if other dogs are much larger. I have a large, fenced garden for your friend to explore and run about in! The property is situated close to several lovely walking trails in fields and forests.

About: I am a 30-year-old solicitor, living in Stansted Mountfitchet. Available on some weekdays/weekday evenings and weekends. My partner and I would love a dog, but we can’t commit currently, so looking after others’ dogs is a great compromise! Happy to look after pets overnight at our home, also happy to walk dogs or call in to other’s homes to check in on their pets. I love animals! I used to own a black Labrador called Connie and she was very much part of the family. My fiancé and I have looked after lots of dogs and we love getting to know different breeds and personalities! I live in Stansted Mountfitchet and currently work in Chelmsford. I usually work from home twice a week (usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it does vary). I am often available on the weekends and happy to pet-sit on weekday evenings too and the days that I work from home. I have a two-bed home, plenty of space for an animal, and a fenced garden. Plenty of countryside walks near me too! I have a car and am happy to travel with pets too for a change of scenery.

“Thank you for taking care of the little pup!”
