Pet care experience
Trusted sitter: cats, dogs & others
Hello everyone! I'm Dorothy. I grew up in Hong Kong and have been living here in London for the last 10 years. I've been pet-sitting regularly for friends and colleagues, for cats, dogs and small animals. My clients keep coming back because their pets are relaxed and well looked after while they're away, and I often get told their pet loves me more than they do! - With cats, I have solid experience across many different personalities and households. I've taken care of around 50 cats, all with glowing feedback from owners, and I'm quick to notice what makes each individual comfortable and adjust accordingly. - With dogs, my experience is with small to medium breeds. I'm equally attentive to routine, temperament and what helps a dog settle, and several owners have told me their dog was clearly delighted to see me again on return visits, a sign the bond has stuck. - I'm also happy to look after other animals. I have experience with hamsters, rabbits, snakes and parrots, and I'm open to new species if you'd like to discuss your pet's specific needs. I understand that time apart is hard on both the pet and the owner, so I send regular photos and videos to keep you updated. Whatever animal I'm looking after, my priority is that you come home to a happy, settled pet.Trusted London pet sitter for cats, dogs and small animals

Ratings and reviews
Sent lots of updates of our cat, which was lovely to see. My cat also loved her from the first introduction and Zena is always well looked after.
Dorothy was so great and really responsive, as well as trustworthy and patient with my cats. I would highly recommend !
It was nice to have Dorothy back again. She is super nice and the cats are very comfortable with her.Gave us lots of lovely photos and messages,I fully recommend her
A third booking with Dorothy - who was as always an excellent cat sitter. She sent lots of updates and clearly spent a lot of time with Pushkin - he is a big fan of her!
Dorothy was wonderful again, very accommodating of dates and timings, and took care to ensure she was familiar with Pushkin’s needs. She sent plenty of updates of a very happy cat - thank you so much!
Another return booking for Dorothy aka my cat’s favourite sitter. He howls at the door when she’s gone and for good reason. She treats him like royalty, sends lots of pictures, finds his diva strops charming and he’s happier when I come home than when I left and everything always looks perfect. Highly recommended!

Schedule
I work from home most days, which means I can be flexible and present, whether pet sitting at your home or hosting your pet at mine. If you need specific timing, just let me know and we'll work it out together.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your home's security is treated as seriously as your pet's wellbeing. I keep all doors and windows secure at all times, and follow feeding and medication instructions strictly, exactly as instructed, no shortcuts or guesswork. If your pet stays at mine, my home is pet-proofed with no other pets or people around, so they get calm, undivided attention throughout their stay.
A typical day
Every visit includes dedicated playtime, cuddles and quality time together, tailored to what your pet enjoys most. Whether it's a game with a cat, a gentle walk for a dog, or calm handling for a small animal, I make sure they feel engaged and content. I'll send you loads of photos and videos throughout, so you can see just how happy and settled they are.
