Pet Sitters in Chigwell

Dina & Karimah

I would like to be selfish and send a 'so and so' review about Dina and Karimah, so to be sure they will always be available for new sits at mine, but that would be unfair for them as well ;). They were/are really my best sitters so far and my experience with them has been amazing since minute zero. They have been great, very patient from the inception (accepting to read and go through my long guide/document of recommendations and guidance, handling the cats beautifully, caring for them beyond measure), taking extreme care of the flat (left sincerely spotless) and the plants (added task), plus took really care of maintenance/usage of all the house appliances, which rarely happens. Totally reliable, trustworthy, kind, empathetic and honest most of all (they didn't empty my food cabinet - like others did -, they didn't take souvenirs - like others did) and they took care that on my return my bed was made and everything was cleaned, washed and dried (even if wasn't required of them), and they left me food and many presents. Sitting here and for my needy boys is a lot of work, and they did everything I asked. I was lucky to have an overlap with them before and after my trip and I felt truly safe leaving my boys with them. Parachichi and Busu loved them as they have been cuddled and adored, D&K dedicated true quality time to them (working from home helped) and especially Busu went far and beyond his usual display of distrust towards humans and showed trust and affection towards Dina in a way he never did. I was very lucky to have them sitting at my place, and I made a great choice selecting them, and following my gut instinct. I really hope they will be back and share more time with my boys in the future (hopefully soon). thanks again D&K <3 from my heart.

Vicky

Vicky was great. It was really easy to set up the sit and she got here and had all the pet care down like a pro. She took Marty's cheeky behaviour and our dodgy timekeeping all in stride which made our time away super relaxing. Also left the house spotless! Can't say enough good stuff, would have her sit again. Cheers from Eli & Reka.

Soriah

Soriah was very sweet and communicative both before and during her stay with my Niko. She made sure to send me pics so I felt more at ease, and wad totally understanding of silly maintanence work that was done in my building. She also made sure to come say hey a day before the sitting, which wad very kind!

Dominic

Dominic and family looked after Indy for a week over the summer, and we came back to a very happy cat! They were friendly and responsive, and left the house clean and well looked after

Raphaelle

Raphaelle and Monica did a short sit for us but were very good and well organised. Monty our golden retriever was well cared for and the house was clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend them !

Laura & Daniel

Laura and Daniel were the dream sitters. Super communicative and took care of our cats and our house. They also read the house manual in detail and even spotted where I'd missed things - which gave me a lot of reassurance that they'd really taken it seriously. Thank you Laura and Daniel, we'd love to have you back!

JO

Great sit Thanks

Emma

Emma is an excellent pet sitter! My anxious dog was clearly very happy with her and was so relaxed when I came back after a week. Everything with Emma was so smooth, booking in, arrangements, communication. She looked after the house perfectly. Highly recommend. It was great to be able to go away knowing everything was in great hands. She is calm, friendly, kind and relaxed.

Jennifer

Jen was the ideal sitter. She bonded with Freddie and took great care of him. I appreciated the cute photos and videos of them playing at home and hanging out at the park. Jen’s communication in organizing the sit and while I was away was perfect, and I came home to a spotless flat and well looked after dog.

Zoe

Zoe and Jack were amazing!! I appreciated good communication and the dogs were so happy for the two weeks we were gone. i reccomend them to anyone.

Keita

Keita was the ideal dog sitter. Her friendly communication before and during the sit was great, our dog Forest was happy and well cared for, and the house was left perfectly clean and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keita and would be glad to have her stay again any time.

Matt

Matt was great from the offset, very easy to talk to and to organise care. He sent us updates and let us know of his behaviour etc as the days went by. Super respectful of the house as well :)

Danielle

Gianna and Nick stayed at my place on these dates as well as June 22-June 24. They were great and I would highly recommend them to house and pet sit! They gave my cats lots of love and were happy to follow all of my instructions to make me feel okay about leaving them. They also left the apartment cleaner than it was when I left which was so nice to come home to! Thank you Gianna and Nick! Happy to have you back anytime :)

Fawnda

Ohhh my...what a wonderful housesit.  The sweetest little furry family I have met.  Spending time with Ollie, Greta, and Casper was so delightful.  I truly felt loved by them.  The neightborhood was quiet and linked up to trails very nearby.  The home is beautiful, like a mini-retreat stay home.  I enjoyed nights under the stars soaking in the jacuzzi, mornings listening to the birds with Casper, afternoons cuddling with Greta, and playful moments wrestling with Ollie.  I totally recommend this stay! John and Fawnda were very informative, helpful, and accomodating.

Sharon

We had such a wonderful time in Sharon & Will's home looking after their 3 dogs and the fish. They made us feel so welcome straight away. Their home is very comfortable and is in such an amazing location for nature lovers, right in the middle of a national park. Walking with Jenson, Bentley and Winston in the New Forest was an adventure, we found new a beautiful places to walk every day. The dogs are so well behaved and friendly, we loved every minute with them. Hope to see you again soon!

Linda

We had an amazing stay at Linda and Al's beautiful home in Columbia, SC, after being warmly greeted before they departed for their trip.  Al and Linda couldn't have been more accommodating, and their four-legged family of three won us over in a flash!  Jett is a beautiful, big dog who warmed up to us in no time, and the ever-so-cuddly kitties were charming and entertaining.  Linda left wonderful instructions, and Al gave us a welcomed tour of the area after a grand tour of their home and grounds.  Many market favorites, quaint local or well known restaurants, historical sites, the State Capitol, the University of South Carolina, and much more are within short driving distance.  It didn't take long to get accustomed to our adventure walks with Jett, both in their neighborhood and in parks throughout the area, thanks to the use of Linda and Al's SUV for doggie transport.  We highly recommend this sit to anyone looking to explore the beautiful historical Capitol of South Carolina, the University of SC, or wishing to just relax with Jett, Pumpkin, and Spice in an amazingly comfortable home - inside and out!  The 'kids' are sure to steal your hearts, and as with us, it will be very difficult to say goodbye!!

Michael

I had an amazing time staying with Frisbee at Anne and Michael's place. Michael has been very communicative even before my arrival, and he Anne, and their children, Peter and Eleanor, have all been very nice. The house was beyond clean and comfortable, and I felt very safe at all times. It was also a walking distance to the Van Gogh and the Rijksmuseum (or you can take the tram).

Frisbee is a very sweet pup, as she is young, she has energy and would appreciate it if you took her along on your adventures in Amsterdam, otherwise, she may bark a bit in the house if not tired enough. Luckily, Amsterdam allows dogs nearly everywhere except for the museums or supermarkets, so this was easy to do! She loved taking the boat canal tour with me, and we took a half day trip to Haarlem (note there are cats there though, and she is reactive to them). I would just be careful when taking her to the thick of the city as she pulls a tad bit so you must be vigilant, especially around the bikes and the human traffic. I also recommend taking her on a walk to the Vondelpark, about an hour round trip walk and some time there throwing her her ball. 

In summary, this was an amazing sit, and I thank Anne and Michael for allowing me to watch over their place and care for sweet Frisbee! Hoping I get a chance to do so again sometime. 🐕🩷

Logan

I was at logan’s house for two nights, Hemmy and Bo are absolutely adorable and. Hemmy does need a little extra care and affection because of his vertigo, Bo has a lot of cute zoomies so make sure to play with him so he won’t chew anything or knock things over.
Logan was always available for every question I had☺️

Lisa

Coco is the MOST amazing dog- it was an honor to care for her! I also appreciated Lisa's wonderful communication- it makes all the difference :)
