About: Experienced and reliable pet sitter with a background in kennels, grooming, training and doggy day care. Confident with all breeds and temperaments, I provide calm, tailored care and treat every pet like my own — with regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands 🐾 Hi, I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16 and have built up hands-on experience across a range of roles. I started working in kennels and catteries as a kennel/cattery assistant, before expanding my skills into dog grooming, training, and doggy day care. This experience means I’m confident handling a variety of breeds, temperaments and needs — from high-energy dogs to those who need a calmer, more patient approach. I have two French Bulldogs of my own and have grown up around all types of animals, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I have a particular soft spot for bully breeds, Chihuahuas, Dobermans and Rottweilers, but I genuinely love working with all dogs and cats. I also adore cats (especially British Blues and black cats with green eyes!). Alongside this, I’m a big fan of aquatic animals — I even have an axolotl called Axol 🥰 I pride myself on being reliable, attentive and easy to communicate with. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, so I always provide regular updates, photos and videos to keep you reassured every step of the way I’m currently working full time as a trainee conveyancer. My weekend availability is completely free, and ready to be booked. I am home from 6:30 every evening where I can attend to local clients (Please contact me and I can see if you are on my way home from work.) I focus on maintaining your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable, settled and secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and walks to any specific behaviours or preferences your dog has. I provide attentive, tailored care — whether that’s structured walks, playtime or calm companionship — adapting to suit your dog’s personality. I treat every home with the utmost respect, ensuring it’s kept clean, tidy and secure at all times, and exactly as you left it. You’ll also receive regular updates, photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and well looked after.

Anita was great! She looked after Lexi our cat whilst we were away on a trip and communicated really well with us and made sure Lexi was happy at home given the crazy heatwave we were experiencing during the time. Would happily book Anita again for pet care.

About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. I have a very close bond with them and love spending my time with them. I also walk, feed and bathe them. I have taken care of friends dogs from time to time as well as both cats and dogs through Rover! I currently work remotely meaning I am able to spend lots of quality time with your pets at the same time as working! I often go for a walk with my own dogs around lunchtime. I have a large fenced garden next to a beach and two friendly dogs of my own! They love new company and having adventures together.

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I take real pride in providing a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet I look after. I currently have a playful kitten and experience caring for a Pomeranian, so I’m confident with both cats and small dogs, including those with different temperaments and energy levels. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and settled while their owners are away, so I make it a priority to follow their usual routines closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and quiet companionship. I take a patient, attentive approach, making sure each pet gets the right balance of care, stimulation, and rest. I’m very observant and quick to pick up on any changes in behaviour, which means I can respond appropriately and keep your pet comfortable and happy at all times. I also provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in safe hands. I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as if they were my own, giving them the attention, affection, and reliability they deserve. I have a full time job in compliance, but I work from home and is very flexible, so I can accommodate any time/day you need! I have a British long hair kitten and a Pomeranian. My cat is an indoor cat which I have cat proof fencing. I have previously had outdoor cats.

Goldhanger, CM9

About: I have had 3 dogs throughout my life (as well as a cat, hamster and fish to name a few!) I have always loved animals and caring for them. When family or friends are away, many of them look towards me to look after their pet as they know they will get the best care and love for their pet. I have a pet care business myself where i am fully insured and DBS checked and many people recommend me! Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog, an independent cat or a nervous rescue, I take the time to get to know each pet and care for them as if they were my own. I offer house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if required) and lots of affection. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m reliable and organised, and my goal is always to make every pet feel comfortable, loved and stress-free while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! I work as a primary school cleaner in afternoons (very short shifts) so I am currently available all summer holidays and will be available from September as well with slightly varying hours. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. To help me provide the best possible care, please let me know before your booking about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioural quirks, anxiety, aggression, escape tendencies, or anything else I should be aware of. As I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, I ask that it is safe and secure, and that I’m informed of any alarms, access instructions, hazards, or other pets in the household. In the event of an emergency, I will always try to contact you first and, if necessary, seek veterinary care in your pet’s best interests. I will always treat your home with respect, follow your instructions carefully, keep your property secure, and leave everything as I found it.

About: Hi I am Steph! I have always loved animals, from caring for families pets to neighbours pets and even my own when we had them. I have looked after Dogs (from Yorkies to bigger breads Boxers), drop in feeds and toilet breaks for my neighbours cats and even down to Tortoises!. I decided after looking after many animals that I should make something I enjoy into a Job! In my main job I work from home permanently so please be assured your pets will be provided with full love, attention, playtime, walks, feeding and medication if you require and they will be taken care of and looked after to the highest standard. I am also trained in pet first aid and cpr. I currently work from home full time so pet care fits perfectly as I am always at home so your pets will be provided with the best care. I have a large fenced garden for your pets to explore if the walkies are not enough for them and they wish for more playtime or toilet times. The house is large enough to accommodate your pets and I have enough space if they are required to be in a crate. The only off limits is no pets on the sofa and no pets on the beds so they will need their own bed. Other than this the house and garden is free for your animals to roam and explore (with me being there so they are looked after). Please note I will not provide off the lead walks while dogs are in my care for protection of your animal and for myself. If your animals are not used to being on a lead then you will have to pay a fee higher for dog paddocks for their walks each day. You are free to book these paddocks yourself and send me the booking confirmations or I can book them for you and provide you with the receipt for costs. (Usually £15 max per hour).

About: I've always had dogs or cats throughout my life and I currently am a cat mum. I thoroughly love animals and care for them a huge amount. I am currently working hybrid and have a flexible schedule, so happy to workout timings with you when a care is needed for your pet/s I can not have animals in my home as I have a cat and I don't think she would like any visitors unfortunately and it wouldn't be fair on her. For any bookings I would speak to the customer about any possible safety issues they know of in advance from their side.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals as I’ve grown up, unfortunately living in a flat and working full time I have not been able to have one of my own. However, I have looked after my friends pets and also used Borrow my Doggy so I could walk a dog and take care of one. I took particular care of one dog I bonded with for a couple of years and took him in for the day and would go walks and check in on him whilst his owner was at work. I have had a cat with a disability for 10 years however she has mainly stayed at my mother’s address whilst I moved for work and university. I have made sure when I look after medication needs, special diet and also check on her special care needs daily when I am back with her. I have also had to manage medical emergencies for her with taking her urgently to the vets multiple times. I currently take care of my housemates cat as well as also taking care of cats from a client I met on here for over a year with continued rebooks. I have a long term partner whom is fully vetted from his work and he helps support if required around my shift work to provide extra care for your little one. I am friendly and love to be around animals. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me! I currently work full time on a shift schedule, so I don’t always have the same days off working 6 days mornings or evenings on (about 8 hours) and 3 days off. I works shifts so the timing will vary when I work. My office is based in Chelmsford and I will be unable to leave during my shifts but I can do before and after work if needed. My partner is able to assist in between visits is required. I am happy to work around this if possible for you to ensure the best care for your little one! Message me for information about this! I will ensure that I maintain the routine you have set in your home for your little one and that their routine isn’t disturbed to ensure healthy habits! I will have the most respect in your home and if you have any requests such as plant watering etc. let me know too! I will ensure that your home is kept clean and tidy!

John was fantastic! Before his visit with Willow he went out of his way to come and meet her so that she was relaxed when he came over for his visit. Very friendly and Willow had a great time with him. Got a lovely video and picture whilst he was here which we appreciated! We will use John again!

Jack was kind enough to pop round before the booking to meet our dog Lola. Knew exactly how to divert her energy and kept her calm during his initial visit. Gave her an hour of non-stop play and attention when he came round for the booking, sent us plenty of pictures to see that she was loving her time with him! Couldn’t recommend him enough - huge thank you!

About: Hi, I’m Connie. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! Let me tell you a bit about myself! I have been caring for family pets from a young age myself and am Knowledgable and experienced in animal handling. I am a Qualified veterinary nurse and have been working in veterinary practice for 8 years. I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, behaviours, ages and breeds and no pet has ever been too much trouble for me! I have my own pup, a 2 year old Golden Retriever, who I waited many years for as well as a horse who I enjoy riding in my spare time! I have been completely animal obsessed from a very young age, hence my career as a vet nurse! In my spare time studying at university I established a successful dog sitting and walking business, which earned me some extra pocket money! I have recently moved towns in the last 18 months and had to give up many clients I once had. I would love to establish that relationship I had with pet owners again and spend time with lots of new four legged friends who I treat as my own! Thank you for reading & I hope to hear from you soon! :) I work as a veterinary nurse weekdays and am happy to be contacted to arrange walks and sitting around current schedules. Weekends are my most flexible days, however I have my own dog who I walk morning and evenings and am happy to cater this schedule to fit around other pets needs. I have a semi detached house with a large fenced garden. I enjoy going on dog walks through forests/woods. I have my own dog at home who is super friendly with everything and everyone, he is an 8 month old Golden Retriever who will happily keep your pets company.
