House Sitting in Colchester

“Our puppy loved Ana :)! She was super knowledgable and loved playing with our little pup. We’ll definitely look into having her again for when we need a sitter.”

“Charissa looked after our little nervous dog Ivy. I have to say from the moment we did the meet and greet with Charissa till this weekend when she looked after little Ivy, Charissa was amazing and very professional with Ivy. She sent us regular updates and pictures reassuring us whilst we were away as we had only had Ivy a couple of weeks. Charissa was simply amazing and such a wonderful caring young lady. My partner and I would have no hesitation in using Charissa again and would recommend using her. Thank you Charissa. Mark, Jo & Ivy”

“Melissa was great with our 3 dogs, she did everything we asked and we felt relaxed leaving Melissa in our home. Melissa sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated I have recommended Melissa to all our friends. Thanks Melissa😁👍😁”

“Laura is very enthusiastic and understands my pets needs. She can be trusted to follow the rules set by the owner, and is careful not to feed them things I've explained I don't want them to have. Good time keeping too!”

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 full time from home. But I have a flexible schedule, so happy to workout timings with you when a care is needed. 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.

“Leah would make an excellent dog sitter/walker. She has been brought up with dogs and has always shown them the utmost love and patience to them. She is a very caring, responsible and trustworthy young lady and would be a welcome addition to your pets life.”

“Philip is a very trustworthy, kind and patient man. He has joined me on many dog walks over the years and has always had a good bond with the dogs. He is very calm which has a very positive effect on the dogs. Plus he’s good fun!”

“Dimitris has been an absolute blessing for our dog, Zapy. His compassionate care and expert handling made all the difference. Dimitris went above and beyond in every aspect, ensuring Zapy received not only the necessary walks and feedings but also plenty of love and attention. His proactive communication was comforting, with regular updates and photos that kept us connected to our furry friend. Zapy, who can be a bit anxious with new people, was immediately at ease with Dimitris. Dimitris' responsible and loving approach to pet care is truly commendable, and I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking peace of mind while away from their pet.”

“Where do I begin? Our Ted had the most incredible time staying with Alexandra whilst we jetted off to Portugal to get married. We knew instantly that Ted was in safe hands and Alexandra's home is just beautiful - a lovely place for him to spend the week. We received regular updates and Ted was completely spoilt, I'm not entirely sure he wanted to leave?! He loved spending time with Honey and Olivia (Alexandras gorgeous dogs) & they often snuggled up together on the sofa. I honestly couldn't recommend Alexandra enough and it meant that we could completely relax and enjoy our holiday/wedding knowing that our Ted was having a great time. Thank you so much to Alexandra and Sam for taking such incredible care of him - we will be recommending you to all our dog friends!”

“Thank you so much Barbora for looking after my babies. They’re not always the easiest but I had complete faith you would take good care of them x”

“I’m a great friend of Sterling. I met Sterling two years ago and ever since then we have been roommates until this day. One thing Sterling expressed to me when we first met was her love for dogs. She would always help and take care of her teammates dogs when she is asked. Most of the time she volunteered to help walk, feed, and just have genuine fun with their dogs. To be a witness of Sterling’s care for dogs, I believe that she will provide the best customer service due to already having great experience with taking care of animals and because of her passion for them I have no hesitation in putting trust in her when leaving pets in her care!”

“Absolutely thrilled with the care Alexandra provided for my cat, Guli! Alexandra showed love and responsibility, ensuring Guli felt comfortable in my absence. She went above and beyond, keeping me updated with adorable photos and videos, making us feel reassured. Guli, usually shy around new people, warmed up to Alexandra quickly, thanks to her gentle and patient approach. It's clear she has a genuine passion for animals, and her professionalism is unmatched. I highly recommend Alexandra to any pet parent!”

“Paul was absolutely brilliant looking after my 2 dogs Charlie and Dana for 12 nights while we was on holiday. Communication was excellent kept me informed while away was the first time I'd used Rover for longer than one night and was quite nervous about leaving the dogs for so long but Paul made me feel so are ease about leaving them also helped that they automatically took to him when he come round a couple of times before we went to meet the dogs and get to know them which was great. Got updates throughout our holiday of them playing and going out they where looked after amazingly and could not fault the service that Paul provided left our home clean and tidy that was a added bonus when getting back from holiday. Thank you Paul for taking such good care of my 2 will definitely book again.”

About: We have enjoyed caring for quite a few animals over the past year and included them in our days out and long walks. Vito is an energetic boy who has loved playing football with my children. Charlie is a calm old lad who has thoroughly enjoyed belly rubs and attention from the family home. Max just likes playing ball for hours and my children indulge him all day long. Milo likes long playful walks and Moreno loved having cuddles. My extended family are also rescuers that take in border collies from around the UK. I look after my neighbours dog Gizmo and their Guinea pigs regularly. We have also have had x5 dogs in doggie day care with us for longer stays due to family holidays and they have loved every second. (They are not here all the time ;) We have walked a border collie over in Dedham several times which we enjoy very much. My friends, family snd employers can rely on me not only to take care of their animals but to work to theirs particular needs to be happy and settled. We have yet to find an animal who hasn't wanted to stay and play. I am a secondary school teacher and my daughter Brooke (aged 16) is in secondary school. I will happily take care of animals before or after school and always on weekends. School holidays we are always open for business. We are flexible and work as a team. We are happy to board for you any time of the year. We have a big garden with high fences so your little treasures can't escape. We have a welcoming house and we love long walks or to snuggle. We have 2 young children, aged 5 and 8, who are gentle and kind. They adore the family dog Max who is a border collie (Max is our Nanas dog and lives with Nana). We have previously boarded larger / medium dogs 🐕 (not all at once) and it has been very successful. They have loved being here with us. One particular dog visits for 3-4 weeks a time in the summer.

“Lawrence and his wife love dogs and have done a great job with the training of their Cockapoo, Chester. Lawrence is very patient, keeps his cool under pressure and has a great deal of common sense. I'm sure he will be an asset to Rover and their customers, who need to be able to trust that their dogs are in safe hands.”

“Alexandros really cares about the animals. What is special about Alexandros is the time he spends with the dogs, talking to them and having a special connection.”

“Zac stepped in to help us take care of our Stella when someone else pulled out the last minute, so we were extremely greatful. He is responsible and attentive person and Stella was a fan of him from the first meet up. While we were on holiday, we got plenty of feedback about Stella's daily routine and most of messages were folowed by pictures of her feed and walk/play times. We highly recomend his services as his experience with dogs is clear and we will be coming back to him in the future. Thank you, Zac”

“Davinia is a loving and caring person she’s looked after my dogs, and she made sure they were well looked after I highly recommend her.”

“I have had the pleasure of entrusting Stanley with the care of my beloved pets on numerous occasions, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Stanley is not only responsible and reliable but also possesses a genuine love and compassion for animals that is evident in the way he interacts with them. Whether it's providing regular walks, administering medications, or simply showering them with affection, Stanley goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every furry friend under his care. If you're searching for a dedicated and loving pet caregiver, look no further than Stanley.”

“A Fantastic Dog Sitter Mira is a true gem when it comes to caring for dogs. She looked after my furry friend with utmost love and attention. Her reliability, passion, and genuine care made me feel at ease while I was away. I highly recommend Mira to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dog caregiver. Thank you, Mira!”
