Pet Sitting Watford

About: I am a fun and loving person towards dogs. I had dog and cats in my home since my childhood. Spending time with pets is my hobby and I am best at. If you want to keep your dogs with me I will make sure they are very well looked after and had fun too!! I have my own dogs with me who is very well behaved with other dogs. They can’t handle cats so I am not open for cats. But all type of dogs are welcome. I will follow the routine that you have for your dog, will walk them and play at home too. Will administer any medication if required. Your dogs will have so much nice time while you are away from them. Your dog will have a happy holiday away from home. I am currently working from home and able to take care of dogs very well. Having frequent potty breaks is not a problem and if dogs eat more than twice can also be taken care. I have fenced big garden and two of my own furry friends will keep your dog happy and outside on nice sunny days to play happy

“Anna made us feel really comfortable. We were incredibly anxious about leaving our 9 week old puppy alone in the mornings but she met his before the day and gave us regular updates. We will definitely be contacting her again. She was super reassuring and even alerted us to a weed in our garden we didn't know was toxic. We've had a really easy week because of her and are super thankful.”

About: I've been a dog owner and in the position where I needed to leave my dogs with someone I trust that will provide the best care. So I know how you feel and make it my mission that every dog is happy and treated as the individual they are in my care. I've looked after dogs in people's homes, at my house, and had dogs stay for the day or need popping in to and walk whilst families are out at work or at family events. The most important part of any dog sitting job I undertake is knowing your dog and what you / the dog needs to be comfortable, if that means sleeping on our bed, no problem. If the dog prefers to have a bed / crate area, we can make that happen in a space you think they'll like. We are a family of 3 (unless you count the goldfish) and have a spacious house and garden. Although it can be loud at times (with a 6 year old), he is very aware of dogs, having lived with our 2 until mid 2025 when we lost our labrador. He knows not all dogs like extremely loud circumstances and he is an excellent ball thrower. Being a labrador and border collie owner, we are used to active dogs and their needs. However, more recently we've had many visits from a mini dachshund who has firmly made himself at home when he's with us. He requires less walks but more cuddles. Not a problem. We have looked after many dog needs in the last 15 years: Labrador(s), Border Collies, Greyhound, Tibetan Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Jack Russell(s), Bichon Frisé, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd including multiple cross breeds. I have experience volunteering for a specific sight hound rescue as well as the Animal Transport Network. I love dogs and now my 2 are no longer with us, both having reached nearly 16, it's time to get back to dogs, without having one of our own for a while. More than happy for a visit (essential prior to first booking) to meet your pooch. Thereafter, no problems. A typical day- Breakfast and morning walk Play before school School run with dog, if happy to come (not let unattended at all) Cuddles of sofa / sleep Lunch if required School run in afternoon Dinner & walk All timings based on what you require. On a weekend we are around in the house and tend to go out for a morning / afternoon walk, this might be a drive away. Could be a cafe stop (if your dog is happy with that) or we'll just stay local and walk to Cassiobury Park or down the canal. I currently work part time, 2 and a half days a week but these hours at flexible and can be amended due to the personal requirements you have. I am available Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening. Mon/Weds nights or full weeks with notice to change work around your pets needs. I have a fenced garden, multiple parks and green spaces nearby. An active 6 year old who doesn't tire of playing ball or tuggy. Allowed on sofa, bed, a playroom with kids toys that can be penned off. I can work my day / work around you. If your dog is happy to be left up to 4 hours or not, I can fit in around you. We will walk a dog twice a day unless specified, cuddles if wanted, play, food schedule that you dictate and lots of general fuss.

About: I’ve had a dog, and looked after family and friends dogs since my teens. I work from home and am flexible, and have access to a lovely park nearby for walks. I’m really a dog lover through and through, all breeds and ages I work from home 4 days a week with a relatively flexible schedule so my availability is open. Depending on weekend plans, I can also be available then with a bit more advance notice. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to follow your instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk or caring for them while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals if needed, and lots of snuggles. I can send updates and photos for you peace of mind.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and recently lost my own, a Spaniel-Dachshund cross who kept me on my toes with plenty of long walks, playtime and adventures. While I’m not ready for another dog of my own yet, I’d love to spend time caring for yours. I’m active, reliable and enjoy being outdoors, so whether your dog loves long countryside walks or shorter strolls, I’m happy to tailor their care to their needs. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and well looked after. I work from home almost full-time, with just one day every couple of weeks in my London office, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit around your dog’s routine. Whether it’s early morning toilet breaks, lunchtime walks, evening cuddles or regular company throughout the day, I’m happy to adapt to what your dog is used to. I also drive and have a second car that I previously used for dog walks, so I’m more than happy transporting muddy paws after countryside adventures or trips to local parks. I’ll be caring for your dog in your own home because I believe that’s where they’re happiest and most comfortable. Staying in familiar surroundings helps reduce stress and allows them to stick to their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll treat both your home and your dog with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, secure and exactly as you’ve asked. I’ll provide regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, loved and well cared for.

“Holly is a super reliable and friendly person. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have two cats of my own, so caring for pets has always been part of my life. I regularly look after and walk my friends’ dogs when they’re away, and I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter for 2 years. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own :) I mainly work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends, and I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime and care while you’re away. I have two cats at home, so I don’t offer boarding for now, just to avoid any pet disagreements! I’m happy to look after your pets in their own home where they feel safest.

About: I’ve had cats from the age of 10, so that’s 19 years and counting! From kittens to senior cats, I’ve looked after them all. I also volunteer at a wildlife hospital so I am familiar with basic animal medical care, and know how to read animal behaviour well. I work 4 days a week and volunteer for one morning a week. I am generally free most evenings after work, and afternoons Thursday to Saturday. I treat all animals with care and love. I’m happy to stay and play on a drop in visit and give some fuss and attention.

“Amy was fantastic. Right from our introductions she made us feel at ease about leaving Indy in her care.She gave us plenty of updates and I think Indy loved making a new friend too :) ”

About: I've always loved animals, and I've had cats and dogs most of my life. I volunteered at a pet shelter in Brazil, in which I learnt a lot about caring for cats and dogs. I've been looking after friends' and families' houses, cats and dogs for over two decades. I'm confident in taking care of pets, giving them lots of love, cuddles, playing with them, and also taking them outside and for a walk, as necessary. I have experience with pets with special needs, be it physical or mental disabilities. I'm also confident in giving them medication when necessary. I currently work as a programme coordinator at a charity and work remotely, which gives me plenty of time to care for your furry family members. I can keep up with their routine and keep them company. I find it important to make sure your pets maintain their routines. I respect the rules you set for them and make sure that their day-to-day is disturbed as little as possible. If they feel comfortable and safe, that makes me happy.

About: Living on a farm growing up, I have always been involved with the day to day care of pets and farm animals, so.looking after pets has been a lifestyle. I have a flat which is 10 minutes walk from many parks including the countryside, Munden Estate which includes Bricket wood and boasts 6 miles of footpaths and farmland. I'm currently at home full time, so I'm able to provide your pet with lots of individual attention and care, which can be tailored to their individual needs. Toilet breaks and exercise can be as often as needed. Freshly prepared meals can also be prepared upon request. I have many nearby parks so exercise and toilet breaks are provided and easily available. I'm currently working from home so can provide attention and care for your pet on a regular basis. Exercise and toilet breaks are readily available. Meals can be freshly prepared on request. I will care for your pet and provide regular walks and feeding on request and provide stimulation with a variety of toys and treats according to your pets needs and requirements.

About: Hi, I’m Rita. My experience with animals began growing up on a farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. Since then, animals have always been a big part of my world. I’ve had both dogs and cats of my own, volunteered for several years with the Animal Welfare Trust in Watford, and cared for different dogs through BorrowMyDoggy. These experiences have helped me understand how unique every pet is. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you both. I am flexible and able to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I am also happy to care for both cats and dogs and can adapt to different routines depending on each pet’s individual needs. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the day, and I am also open to discussing house sitting arrangements depending on each pet’s requirements and routine. I always aim to be reliable, responsive, and clear when arranging bookings. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet and entering your home. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing and routine are always my top priority. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any specific care requirements. I have been DBS checked, and I aim to provide a calm, reliable and respectful service at all times. During visits, I will provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. For safety, dogs are always walked on a lead unless the owner has specifically requested otherwise and provided clear recall instructions.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, growing up with breeds like Chow Chow, Golden Retriever, Samoyed, and Alaskan Malamute, and I currently care for my own Czech Wolfdog. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of dogs’ unique needs and personalities. Additionally, I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers, which has taught me how to read a dog’s behavior and proactively manage situations during walks to avoid potential triggers. Whether it’s providing companionship, ensuring safety, or catering to the specific needs of different breeds, I’m confident in offering top-notch care for your furry friends. I have extensive experience caring for medium and large-breed dogs, having raised several over the years, and I am currently living with a Czech Wolfdog and a maine coon. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, structure, and companionship throughout the day. We live in an excellent area with access to large parks and beautiful nature spots. I regularly take dogs out for long walks, hikes, and play sessions, whether by car or on foot. When we’re not exploring nearby parks, my spacious, fully fenced back garden offers a safe and enjoyable space for dogs to roam, relax, and play freely. Dog care is part of my everyday life — I truly enjoy spending time with them, helping them stay active, engaged, and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or a pet owner’s home. I create a calm and comfortable environment for the pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy at all times. I’m highly attentive to their needs, from maintaining regular feeding and walking schedules to keeping their surroundings clean and safe. During walks, I’m vigilant about their interactions with other animals and the environment, avoiding potential triggers and ensuring their safety on busy streets or parks. I also communicate openly with pet owners, providing updates and following any specific care instructions they have. My goal is to build trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring everyone feels confident and at ease.

“Jo was great dropping in to see miso and made great progress with her considering she is a bit wary of new people.”

“Rachel was excellent from start to finish. Great communication with picture updates at each visit. My confident cat got lots of fuss and my shy cat was given the space she needs. They were both very happy on our return! Thank you! ”

About: I've grown up with cats from a young age and currently have one at my family’s home. I also love dogs and have taken care of them (walking & feeding) for neighbours and friends over the last few years. I’m currently on a career break and just returned from a 3-month trip across South America. I’m looking forward to staying active during this period which means more time and flexibility to look after your furry friends. I can be flexible to take last-minute drop-in, feeding, and walking requests. As a cat-owner myself, I understand the importance of communicating updates, so I will make sure we are aligned on this to make sure you feel comfortable at all times!
