“The minute Giorgina arrived to meet Bruce and myself on the meet and greet she made an excellent impression - Bruce was sooo pleased to meet her! As was I. Giorgina is so calm, friendly, thoughtful and confident. She kept me posted on how Bruce and her were getting on and kept a really cool head when he threw up. I highly recommend Giorgina and will be booking her again. Thank you so much again Giorgina!!”

“Julie’s a brilliant pet sitter! She was easy to communicate to, very accommodating so arranging pet care was easy. Julie came to our house to look after our dog Leo and it all went smoothly - she kept us updated, asked all the right questions and overall Leo had a great day!”

“We did a one night trial just to make sure Nadiia would faniliarise with our dog and viceversa. Nadiia's communications are clear and complete and she sends a lot of pics and videos, which is geeat. She barely touched the house and left everything tidy. The dog was very relaxed when we came back. I am really happy.”

About: -Insured - DBS checked - Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma I was lucky enough to grow up with several dogs and cats within my family home. Also plenty of extended family and friends with pets, which is where I came in! From a young age I always put my hand up to walk dogs, pop in or stay overnight. This opened up my understanding with a real mixture of breeds, boisterous characters, puppies and senior dogs. More recently in my own home, I rescued my dog, Ozzy in August 2025. He was unfortunately subjected to physical and emotional abuse for the first 7 months of his life. When I found him, he came with bundles of behavioural issues I’d not experienced at such a high volume before. Fast forward to now, after seeking advice from a brilliant behaviourist and adapting my care and training for him, social walks every week alongside sometimes 20+ dogs and clear boundaries he is thriving and is my pride and joy! He is the most high energy dog I’ve ever owned, he has taught me so much I didn’t already know. And above all else, there is nothing better than being around animals! Any animal with me gets the same love and care I share with my own 🐾 Alongside the time I set aside for my own dog, I am walking dogs full time currently. The services I would like to offer: Dog walking - half hour, full hour Drop ins (on particularly hot days, or any circumstances where the dog cannot be walked) which will include toilet break, play and/or training - half hour, full hour Drop ins for other animals that do not require walking Customers who have 2 dogs that require services and can be walked together - half hour, full hour I will always do my best to fit in emergencies, however currently not taking on boarding. All care for pets will take place at the owners home, or out walking. Unless there are introductions to my dog and they can share my garden for sure!

About: I have a big love for animals and have spare time so want to help others and look after their loved animals and care for them. I look after my friends and families cats and dogs on a regular basis so have experience with different breeds and want to help others have the opportunity to go away on holiday or going to work and relax knowing their baby is getting a home from home experience in a relaxed environment. I work from home most days and if I need to go into the office I have a flexible timetable so would be out the house for no more than 4 hours but also happy to accommodate to your timings of each pet. I am also happy to take them out to places with me if this is something your pet is familiar with. I live in a house with a private fenced/brick wall garden. I have a park next to my house and multiple walks around my area with a mixture of fields, grass and pavement environments. I also have a car so am happy to take out with owners permission I also send photos and updates to the owners to let them know there babies are in safe hands

About: Growing up with a range of dogs, from smaller to larger breeds I am looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I am a home based service in Kelvedon, based by the train station. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Working from home in a desk based job multiple days a week, I am able to easily balance pet care in to my daily schedule. I have a fenced garden with natural grass, with enough space for up to two dogs comfortably. Lots of lovely local countryside walks on my doorstep.

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.

“Algie our Boxer, has separation anxiety and because of his age, we hate to go out and leave him even for a short while. Suzy came to sit with him yesterday evening while we went out for a family birthday dinner and they got on really well. Suzy is a lovely lady and we will be very happy to book her again.”

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: I have grown up surrounded by different animals from all sizes including horses, dogs, cats, donkeys to the smaller likes of hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets. I currently have a large greyhound called Velma who is more than happy sleeping the day away with the occasional cuddle. I understand not all dogs have the same needs and am adaptive in my approach. I currently work a shift pattern, meaning I am often available during the week and at odd times to help with your pet needs. I do not work overnight and so will be available for house sitting. For house sitting services, I will ensure I ask the correct questions from the home owners to be able to care for their pet to the best of my ability. I have great listening and observation skills to safely care for your additional family member!

“Jessica was amazing. We were worried about leaving Malcolm as he's recovering from surgery but Jessica totally put us at ease. She took amazing care of him and regularly sent us photos and updates. Thank you so much Jessica!”

“Charlotte house sat for us over a long weekend, at very short notice. She worked really hard, the house was immaculate & our dog seemed extremely contented & clearly had bonded well with her. Would love for her to help us again.”

About: Having owned 9 dogs at once and cared for many more since the age of 12, not having one around is a foreign (unwanted) experience. I’m a farm girl in the big city! Currently I don’t work but am studying towards becoming a teacher. My schedule is wide open for anything that a fur friend might need and want. I live with my parents in a spacious home with a secure, medium-sized fenced garden. We're close to Great Notley Discovery Centre and next to a quiet footpath, making it a great location for dog walks.
