5.0

We’ve taken 160+ bookings in East London since 2023, and we’re proud of the trust you have placed in us. We love dogs and genuinely enjoy having them as part of our home — our aim is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with friends rather than being left somewhere unfamiliar. I grew up with dogs and got my own, Princeza, in 2021. She’s a calm and friendly senior girl who has become a big part of our dog-sitting family. She’s excellent at showing new guests the ropes and helping them understand our routines and how things work around the house. Many of our reviews specifically mention how much owners and their dogs love Princeza. My partner Donald and I both work from home, so your dog has company and attention throughout the day and is rarely left alone. During the working week we’re generally away from home for no more than around 30 minutes at a time. Longer periods away are unusual, although we can accommodate a dog being left for a few hours when appropriate. We have a comfortable two-bedroom flat and, although we don’t have a garden, we’re surrounded by parks and green spaces. We normally go out first thing in the morning and then again in the late morning, early afternoon, late afternoon and before bed. We follow your dog’s usual exercise routine and your instructions regarding leads. There’s also an enclosed park nearby for safe off-lead exercise when appropriate. We try to keep your dog’s normal routine wherever possible. Feeding times, walks, treats, furniture rules, sleeping arrangements and other household routines can all be accommodated. If your dog is allowed on the sofa or bed at home, they’re welcome to do the same here. At night, they can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable. In the evenings, things generally slow down and we relax at home watching TV, with the dogs usually settled on or around us. We love dogs being part of the family rather than simply being “looked after”. A calm and carefully managed home Because we can have several dogs staying with us at once, getting along with other dogs is particularly important. We may have up to four additional dogs from different households, so we take introductions and compatibility seriously. Before accepting a first booking, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet in a nearby park, where Princeza can meet your dog. We only confirm the booking if we’re confident everyone will be comfortable together. We’re very happy to look after dogs who are nervous or shy. We don’t force interaction or pressure them to come out of their shell. If they want to hide somewhere and take some time to settle, that’s completely fine. We let them come to us in their own time. We’re also comfortable with the normal individual quirks that dogs have, provided we know about them beforehand. However, because this is a multi-dog household, dogs who are persistently reactive towards other dogs or people, or who bark excessively throughout the day, aren’t likely to be a good fit. Your dog’s individual needs We follow your instructions. If your dog has a particular feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping arrangement or house rules, we’ll do our best to maintain them. We’re also happy to administer tablets, eye/ear drops and other non-injection medication, and can accommodate dietary requirements and other special-care instructions. Keeping you reassured We know that leaving your dog with someone for the first time can be difficult — particularly if you’re not used to using a sitter. We’ll send updates and photos, particularly at the beginning of the stay so you know your dog has settled in. Once we’re confident they’re relaxed and enjoying themselves, we tend to let them get on with having fun and provide updates as appropriate. If anything noteworthy happens, you’ll always hear from us. If something unexpected does happen, we’ll contact you immediately. If you’re unavailable and an urgent decision is needed, we’ll use our best judgement and, where necessary, take your dog to an emergency vet. We also carry our own independent pet-sitting insurance, including cover for emergency veterinary care.
