Dog Sitting London

About: I have loved dogs my whole life. I begged my mom for years to get one as a child, and ever since age 10 I have had a beagle almost non-stop. Currently, I have a 2-year old beagle named Floyd whom you can see on Instagram as The_Biking_Beagle. If you live or work in downtown London, it's possible you've seen us biking to the dog park, which we do almost every day. I raised him since 2 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. My last dog Odie was a rescue from Kentucky, and he was likely about 8-10 years old when I got him. So I love dogs of all ages-and breeds. If you think your dog would like to join us on a bike ride to the dog park, that could be arranged. Either way, I will be happy to spend time with and walk your furry friend! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to choose my hours. Let me know when you need, and I will make time for you. I have a very friendly 2 year old beagle who gets along with almost any dog and loves to play. I also have a beautiful and very talkative cat, who has her own space if necessary, but also loves to socialize if the dog is friendly to cats. But if not, she does have her own highway of ledges and cat trees and closet space so there is no worry about her safety. I am also happy to care for your cat or dog in your home. I love to play with and spend time with animals, so you can be sure your fur baby is in good hands!

“Walter did amazing with our nervous dog and our loud dog. He was calm, experienced and had no problems following instructions. We will certainly use his services again.”

“Melanie was great! She came over for a meet and greet prior to our scheduled drop ins and was very friendly and well informed. My cat got along very well with her (and he’s a timid boy, so that says a lot!) and it was very comforting to know that he had someone caring looking after him while I was gone.”

About: Hi! Please note that I will be moving to Sudbury at the end of August to start grad school. I am currently accepting bookings for the summer, but unfortunately cannot accept anything from September onwards :) I’m a fourth year Nutrition student at Western. I’m also a mature student (24 years old). I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! My family travels a lot, and we have always opted to pet-sit rather than stay in hotels! Now that my sister and I have moved away for university, we both pet-sit independently in our university communities. In terms of my own pets, I’ve had fish, a guinea pig, and a flock of chickens! Since we travel so much we’ve never had our own dog or cat, but we are the go-to pet sitters for our friends and family! I am super active and love having an excuse to get outside more throughout the day. I am a recent graduate, so I’m shifting into full-time work. My schedule is generally as follows: Mondays and Fridays I work 5 hours a day; Tues/Wed/Thurs I work 8 hours/day; Saturdays I’m off and Sundays I work 4 hours/day. If your pet needs someone to be at home all day, I may not be the best fit for you. When I’m at home though, I’m a very active person and enjoy going out on lots of walks! I am currently living in an apartment, so your pets would be most comfortable in your home. I am happy to come and stay for however long is needed! I have my own vehicle to get to your place. I prefer only accepting sits within the city limits of London, so that I’m never too far away from work (I work in a variety of neighborhoods - Byron, Masonville, Wortley).

About: I've been an animal lover and advocate my whole life, growing up in a house full of pets-dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, turtles, and any other animals I could surround myself with! I worked in a pet store while in school and had the opportunity to learn about all kinds of animals, and meet and play with the animals that customers regularly brought in. Friends, family, and colleagues have consistently relied on me to look after their dogs and cats, particularly after becoming the resident dog-cat-plant-housesitter of my graduate school department over 10 years ago. I still regularly take on dog walking and animal feeding (including frogs and fish:) responsibilities, and I'm now broadening my services by joining Rover! I've taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds (Labs, Doodles, Huskies, Dachshunds), and I have several years of experience with senior dogs and cats as well. I'm comfortable and confident handling more fragile animals, as well as administering medications (I have experience with insulin, Cartrophen, and Librela injections; and oral medications and supplements). I'm happy to help with young pups and kittens too, including any training, crating, feeding routines you may have! My experience with them is only less than seniors because they grow up so fast:) I'll always respect the routines you have in place for your animals and take care of them as though they were my own. I love walking around the neighbourhood, and enjoy it even more when a sweet animal can join me! Spending time with your pet in your own home is a wonderful option that I welcome as well! I work full time and am primarily available for evening and weekend care, though I can be flexible with early mornings and special requests! I work fairly regularly 8am-4pm, Monday-Friday, though my schedule can be flexible, so I'll update my availability accordingly. I'm generally in the neighbourhood over the weekend and would love to walk or spend time playing with or taking care of your furbaby anytime Saturday-Sunday! Feel free to reach out for any particular requests and I'll do my best to accommodate:) I'll accommodate whichever walking, backyard, or indoor requests you have, both on and off leash, rain or shine!. And, I'll do whatever I can to ensure your pet feels cared for, supported, and loved while you're away:)

“Angel is a very reliable cat sitter. She is thorough and understands cats. She goes above and beyond in taking care of the animals. I highly recommend her.”

“This is the second time we’ve had Carole take care of our pups, and we’ll definitely continue to hire her again! She is great with our boys, and they are very comfortable with her. She arrives promptly at the designated time, provides great care and leaves the house tidy. She is a gem and we are glad to have connected with her through Rover!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since the age of 15. Friends and relatives often used to ask me to take care of them while they were away, after some time I decided to be a dog sitter and groomer full time, I love this and would never change it. I'm available on Weekdays all the time and on Weekends as well! We can talk about scheduling in holidays depending on the situation and your pet. Currently I live in an house with a big fenced yard where your furry babies can go out anytime and have a sniff or playtime. My house is tought to be safe for animals, no wires or toxic substances to their reach. I treat each furry client like my own, always providing love and care at all times while sharing pictures and videos to the owner. Also all the pets will socialize along with my dog Moka.

“My dog was very well cared for by Shelby when we were away. We will be calling her to book again soon!”

“Have 2 shy cats and she managed y To coax them out of hiding during her checking and we came home to 2 healthy and happy cats. Highly recommended!”

“Kylie dropped in over the weekend to check on our cat Norm. They made quick friends with him and we could tell from the check-in photos he was happy they stopped by. Saved us the cost of boarding, and we felt very comfortable letting Kylie throughout the service”

“Grace thank you so much! You went above and beyond :)”

About: The dog days aren't just for summer anymore! I've been surrounded by dogs most of my life. I know every interaction is an opportunity to instill good behaviour through positive reinforcement. My years working at an animal shelter have given me experience with administering medications (topical and oral), and I have a good eye for spotting if something may be off health-wise. I am familiar with harnesses and muzzles when they are required. I will happily provide basic grooming and play-time. I know you know your dog best, and I will follow your detailed instructions. I have a very flexible schedule! I know pets unfortunately can't read a clock, we must work to fit our lives into their time frame. I will treat your home with respect, and only interact with what you need me to. Trust is the most important thing, and I will not damage it.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for a few years now, having 1 cat in my house and 3 total in my family! I also have lived with 2 different cats in university and cat sat regularly for others. Have experience with cats with PICA and anxiety. I work from Monday to Friday in Toronto (4 days are in person and depend on the week)! Pet care would fit into my routine in the mornings and at night (in the day if needed I can work from home). Because I have cats at my home I am able to care for your pets in your home! This gives them comfort in their own space.

About: I have experience with taking care of small dogs, medium dogs and large dogs ; Walking them, feeding them and bathing them including puppies under 1 year old. Ex) Shih Tzu, Welsh Corgi, Labrador, and Great Danes. I'm a freelancer so I can adjust my schedule whatever I want, so I can take care of your pups and cats any time you want! I can feed them, walk them and play with them as they need. I love playing fetch with them, running with them and playing tug of war with them. I can make healthy snacks by pet parent's request/instruction with the ingredients at pet parent's home.

About: Since young childhood I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, from horses to chickens. Dogs however, have always been my passion! The best part is I offer walks tailored to your dogs needs. Walks that train, not just tire. Caring for dogs isn’t something I squeeze into my day—it’s what my days are built around. I keep a structured schedule to ensure each dog receives consistent, focused care without being rushed. This allows me to provide calm, reliable walks and give each pet the attention they deserve. I only offer leashed walks in order to keep your dog safe! Every pet deserves love, care and compassion, I promise to give every pet just that!

“Brianna was great with my frenchie! She was reliable and had excellent communication. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: I've volunteered with pet value to take care of cats. I am new to the platform but have experience of helping my friend take care their cats while travelling. Living with two adorable cats together. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your adorable pets! Please contact me 1 day before to make sure we both not in rush;) I provide detailed and attentive care, taking time to communicate closely with each client about their specific needs. I carefully follow instructions, monitor each pet’s behavior and health, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my background in dog training and working with service dogs. I understand canine body language, behavior, and positive reinforcement training, allowing me to provide care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I have experience working with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and training levels, including puppies, active dogs, and dogs with special needs. Whether your pet needs a structured routine, enrichment activities, training reinforcement, or simply lots of love and attention, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a part-time teacher and dog trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Caring for animals is already a central part of my daily routine, and I enjoy providing reliable, personalized care that helps pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. 🐾 I provide care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my own home, I care for a service dog, a scent dog in training, and five rescued cats, including cats with medical complexities. This has given me experience maintaining medication schedules, monitoring health and behavior changes, and providing specialized care when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard maintenance, medication administration if required, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also reinforce any training routines owners would like maintained and always prioritize safety, comfort, and low-stress care. My experience with dog training, service dogs, and medically complex cats allows me to recognize changes in behavior and respond thoughtfully to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾🐱🐶

“Katherine has taken care of our cat numerous times. She is excellent with communication, prompt and caring. Our cat has accidents when stressed and now trusts Katherine so this is happening much less. We highly recommend her!”
