Faith and Samantha were model house sitters. Faith was a fantastic and prompt communicator. We received several updates throughout the sit and when we got home, the house was so clean which is a relief after returning from travelling. I wholeheartedly recommend Faith. 😻 Thank you!
Pretty sure my cat likes them better than me now! Usually when I come back from a trip, my cat is kind of angry at me for leaving and lets me know in subtle ways like biting and not looking at me. The cat was so well-taken care of that when I returned, she acted as if I hadn't left! Dana and Dave were great pet-sitters-- very easy to communicate with, lots of pictures, very reliable. Highly recommend!
Nastya was the best! Not only did she make my trip possible, she was flexible for an extension and I could tell my cat really liked her from the videos she sent . She left the apartment very clean and organized and was self sufficient. Thanks Nastya!
Rudy is a sweet, energetic, cuddly, bundle of joy. Melinda is one of the greatest people I have come to meet doing house sits. She is very engaging, open, and wonderful stores of her travels and experiences. Her home is wonderfully stocked with great amenities and easy to access. Would definitely be back again.

We had an amazing induction with Debbie and her beautiful friendly dogs. The meet and greet was perfect and our whippet Dolly settled in straight away. Debbie’s house was perfectly set up for any dog to stay. Dolly can’t wait for her next visit and didn’t want to leave. Absolutely recommend Debbie 100%
Golden Paws has been Logan’s favorite place for the past 4 years, and it’s easy to see why! Every time I pick him up, I practically have to convince him to come home—he loves it that much! A huge thank you to Sarah and Frank for all the love and care you give to Logan. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. I can’t recommend Golden Paws enough!
Sarah and Frank are truly amazing!! Our cockapoo Norman visits for day care and stays for holidays..his 4th year..it's his second home 🏡 We never worry as he is happy, cared for and has a fantastic time with the other dogs staying. He has made new friends for life. Sarah and Frank are very experienced, professional and care deeply for every dog in their care. Five star fabulous 🌟
Sarah & Frank are just the kindest. I’ve had trouble with feeding our cocker and they have given me invaluable advice. They also look after Barney like their own, sending updates when we are on holiday. I am so grateful that they took Barney. It’s his 2nd home & Barney loves it. Highly, highly recommended.
Sarah and Frank are fantastic and so supportive. They are a five star run family business and care for dogs and their owners more than you could ever imagine. They are Betty's second family. I cannot recommend highly enough. Vikki
Absolutely amazing! Sarah and Frank are very special people and I am so pleased I found them to look after my two fur babies. One of my dogs was very scared of other dogs, but they worked so hard with him and now he is great with all dogs even when we are out with him. It was so nice to be away and have peace of mind that the dogs were being well looked after and having lots of fun. The little videos we received whilst away were so lovely. I can’t recommend Golden Paws enough! Thank you xx Emma
Sarah and Frank LOVE dogs and Coco absolutely adores them and plays with all the dogs. I don’t worry because I know she is being well cared for
Our puppy has been going to Golden Paws for the last 4 months. From the first time I spoke with Sarah, I knew she was going to take such good care of him. With their guidance, we put together a plan to slowly introduce him to her (and Frank & Bear ) and build up confidence for all of us. Our puppy now knows when we are in their road and bounds up the door to see them and their other guests. We have built up our puppy’s time with them, increasing to overnight stays and we have now just picked him up from a week’s holiday with them. Sarah sends as many photos/videos as you would like and her love and care for the dogs is wonderful. Our puppy has had the best time with them and his friends. Nothing is too much trouble and we are so thankful for them.
Look no further for your dog sitting, sitter needs! I can't begin to describe how great Sarah and Frank where with our 1 year old rescued street dog. From the off, Sarah put my mind at rest that he would be in the best possible hands, and he was. Sarah and Frank could not have been kinder, not only to us but also with our pup, sending regular updates and treating him with love and patients in what could have easily become an overwhelming situation. Albie played well with the other dogs and slept soundly. We couldn't be more thankful to Sarah and Frank as we were able to go and enjoy a family wedding safe in the knowledge Albie was being well looked after. We aren't local to Essex but if we were we would use Golden Paws again - no question- as Albie was sad to go and leave his new found friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm so thankful for Pepper to of come to Golden Paws for a week's holiday 🐾 , they have been absolutely amazing ... They took amazing care of our puppy and her first ever holiday from us. We had daily pup updates , and she was a very well looked after happy puppy. Would 100% recommend and use in the future. Our puppy has grown confidence around other dogs now too which is amazing. Thank you Sarah & Frank amazing animal lovers, and can clearly see they adore every dog they look after.
I was so happy to find Golden Paws for my sometimes nervous chihuahua. Sarah and Frank have a wonderful way with animals and are truly caring. It definitely is a bespoke service and my chihuahua is being eased into being close to other dogs. Sarah sent me videos and messages to let me know how Billie was getting along and I could see in the videos how much progress he was making in this lovely calm and caring environment. I highly recommend Golden Paws and feel so lucky to have found them.
Fantastic pet sitter. Our cat was so well looked after during our week away. Couldn't be happier with the service. We received updates every day as to how our cat was doing.
I got in touch with Natalie following a recommendation after being let down last minute for someone to look after my cat, Matilda, while I was away. Natalie was so responsive and immediately got me booked in with ease at such short notice. You can see how much Natalie loves and adores animals. She made me feel like Matilda was her own - being so loving and caring towards her. I loved the daily updates and videos and pictures she provided putting us at complete ease while we were away. And Matilda LOVED her! Her customer service, her kindness, professionalism and genuine love and care towards Matilda means I won’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Natalie!
Natalie looked after our cat while we were abroad for a 2 week trip, and she was amazing! Her communication is perfect, sent through daily updates and she is just an incredibly nice person to liaise with and to have in your house! Highly recommended!!!!
Flancy Pets have provided the best care I could ask for to my furry best friend. Natalie introduced herself to both of us initially and I could tell that my dog instantly warmed to her calming and friendly energy. Since then my dog has been overjoyed to go and stay with Natalie and her family when we need some cover, it’s definitely a home from home. Natalie is great at communication, organising pick ups/drop offs is a breeze and she keeps me updated during my dogs stay with photos too that put me at ease. I couldn’t recommend Flancy Pets enough, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for doggy stay aways.
Recently started using Natalie for taking my Milo out, she is amazing, from the moment we met Milo loved her! Nothing is too much trouble and she always goes above and beyond. Sends me picture updates on their walks and Milo is always so happy when out with Natalie which is the most important thing to me! So glad we found you! Thank you for being such a genuine and trustworthy person 🐾💙
We have recently started using Natalie’s dog walking service and was immediately at ease with her enthusiasm, professionalism and genuine affection towards our Bella. Natalie keeps us updated with videos of their adventures together and Bella comes home happy and ready to nap! I would highly recommend Flancy Pets!
Natalie has recently started looking after our westies and they love her. Natalie has been so helpful in getting them used to new timings and with new dogs. We are so grateful to her for helping us when we have to book and nothing seems a problem. We are so grateful for her kindness and for keeping the dogs and our house safe. A massive thanks.
Natalie has been such a pleasure to work with. Our labrador loves her walks and is really well looked after. We do not need a regular walker so she fits in and around our needs. Most importantly we completely trust her.
Flancy Pets, Natalie has been walking my two dogs 🐕 for a few months now. She always sends me a video which I enjoying watching to see what they are doing! and my dogs love going out with her and their doggy friends, would recommend her. …
Natalie is a brilliant dog walker. She’s patient when our dog is anxious and makes sure she’s safe and happy at all times. She’s very reliable and goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs have a great time.
We always have Natalie to look after our cats whilst we are away as she’s so passionate and caring. She sends us pictures which we love and also takes the time to fuss and give them cuddles too.
I can't praise Karen and her team enough. I have a very nervous reactive Jack Russell rescue and I was unable to ever go away over night without her. I found Karen through recommendations on a dog training forum and I'm so glad I made contact . Nothing was a problem . Karen has lots of experience with all types of dogs and when she met my girl , I knew straight away everything was going to be OK. Karen and Danielle stuck to Peppas routines during her walks , feeding and over night stays. I highly recommend Karen , she very professional, compassionate and she truly loves animals.
I was pointed to We Love Pets after a fall - leaving me unable to give my border collie, Cooper, the exercise he needs. Karen popped in to meet us, she is lovely and I could tell straightaway, a very experienced dog person! Cooper is very excitable, nervous and energetic and can be a handful - not so with Karen at all. He looks forward to his walks and I know he is being well looked after - Cooper is a rescue stray, so needs extra care - I know he is getting that with these guys - so grateful. xx
We recently started using We Love Pets to look after our 2 dogs when going out to play golf or visiting our daughter. It's a comfort to know that whilst we are out our dogs are well looked after and are able to go out for a nice long walk!. We can highly recommend Karen and We Love Pets Broomfied.
We Love Pets Broomfield came to my rescue and fitted into our schedule perfectly. They not only walk our dog but also look after our hens too. I'm so grateful for all the help they give.
More than happy with the care our dog gets from WLP Broomfield. Karen goes over and above to make sure our dog has the best time possible.
