Dog Care Services · Harlow & Essex
In-Home Dog Sitting
Your dog stays comfortable, safe, and cared for — even when you can’t be there.
Going away and worried about your dog? Our in-home dog sitting doesn’t just babysit — it actively supports your dog’s wellbeing.
Whether your dog is anxious, reactive, or simply needs someone who understands dogs on a deeper level, this service is built around consistency, calm, and care.
No kennels. No chaos. Just a familiar-feeling environment with a trainer who actually knows what they’re doing.

Why DroopyChaos for Dog Sitting?
Trainer-Level Care
Most dog sitters are kind people who love dogs — but that’s not the same as having a professional dog trainer look after your dog. Every session is handled by someone who understands behaviour, reads body language, and knows when to give a dog space versus when to engage.
Science-Based, Positive Approach
No punishment, no pressure. Your dog’s needs always come first. If something feels off, we notice — and we know what to do about it.
Harlow & Essex Based
Local, reliable dog sitting you can trust. We’re based in Harlow and cover across Essex — a genuine community presence, not a franchise.
Regular Updates
You’ll never wonder how your dog is doing. We send regular photos and video updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away.
What My Clients Say
“Anyango was a lifesaver, stepping in at the eleventh hour to look after Lilly while I was away for a few days. We arranged a couple of introductions beforehand, and Lilly loved her immediately. Anyango was wonderful with my dog, making her feel completely at ease from the start, and by the second visit Lilly was so excited to see her again. Anyango kept to Lilly’s routine, sent me regular video updates of her having the best time out and about, and made sure she was thoroughly cared for in my absence. I would absolutely recommend Droopy Chaos for pet sitting — you can genuinely relax and enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet.”
— Owner of Lilly
