House Sitting West Mersea

About: I've had pets since I was a toddler - both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have experience with medically monitored pets and pets with behavioural issues. I have helped to train animals. I am generally a lover of all animals! I am currently unemployed and so I will have plenty of time to put in to caring for your animals, however much time they require. Once I know I will be sitting for you, I will ask for any house rules/training rules you establish for your pet. I will follow these to the best of my ability to make the transition for your animal as easy as possible. My focus will always be the comfort of your animal as a guest in their home.

“I can't recommend Mehalah enough. She stayed with my three dogs and cat while I was out of the country and did a fabulous job! She kept me updated with pictures of them and took the pups on adventures to the park which they absolutely loved (I could tell by their happy pup faces). When I returned, my home was clean and tidy-the dishes were even done! Honestly, I wish I could have Mehalah all to myself-she's that wonderful!”

“Charmy was a wonderful dog sitter and a true companion for my little Maltipoo dog. She sent a photo with updates whenever asked, and I felt completely at ease with her skillful approach to keeping my dog calm and happy. 100% recommended to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter!”

Mark S.

“Anita was like a dream come true version of the absolute best dog sitter! She was so delightful, as a lovely person to fully trust and especially to be with my dog Lola. Normally, Lola cries whenever I leave her, but Anita gave Lola all the cuddles and attention to keep her perfectly calm. Anita is 100% the best dog sitter I have ever known, and she will be my first choice to be entrusted with Lola!”

Mark S.

“Ned loves having Alice to stay enjoys the cuddles and walks. Alice also the perfect house guest. Amazing being able to leave hound and home knowing they are both in kind caring safe hands”

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: 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.

“Ailish looked after our dog perfectly. She is very professional, communicative and obviously has a love of animals. We were very happy leaving our dog with her for the evening. Would recommend Ailish.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.

“Caramel was lovingly looked after by Jasmine and the two of them got on so well. I know this because Caramel was calm and happy when I got back to the house. Jasmine followed all the instructions for administering her meds and meals and the all important walks 3 times a day. I would happily recommend Jasmine as someone trustworthy & who just loves animals.”
