Pet care experience

Experienced dog sitter in London

My family loves pets, especially dogs hence I’ve had dogs around the house for my entire life. I’ve taken care of a Shih Tzu since I was 12. I am used to showering my dogs, feeding them dog-friendly nutritious food, helping them change diapers, and am good with pet care in general. I am very attentive and am always making sure they are well-fed, have a place to relief themselves, and that they are comfortable. I do not have any dogs in my current flat so I’m happy to help care for your dogs!

Saatchi D.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Boarding • Aug 27, 2026

Joyce took care of Saatchi for two days, and we had such a great experience with her. She regularly kept us updated with photos, including his meals and potty breaks, which really gave us peace of mind. She even put cartoons on for Saatchi and let him make himself at home on the couch and bed. 🥹 When we picked him up, we could immediately tell that he had been very well looked after, he was clean, relaxed, and happy. We’d be more than happy to have Joyce look after Saatchi again whenever we’re back in London. Highly recommended!

Joyce took amazing care of my dog, Cookie, over the Christmas holidays while we were away. I had complete peace of mind knowing Cookie was in such safe and loving hands. Joyce kept me regularly updated on how he was doing and shared photos, which meant so much and made us feel close to him even while we were away. I truly didn’t have to worry about a thing - everything was handled with care and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Joyce L. has had a dog since she was very young and has developed a natural understanding and love for animals. She’s always been gentle, attentive, and genuinely caring — qualities that make her a great pet caregiver. She once looked after my Shiba Inu, Kyedae, who can be quite a handful. Kyedae is stubborn, independent, and usually doesn’t warm up to people quickly. But Joyce handled her with patience and calm, and surprisingly, Kyedae responded really well. Despite having no formal training, Joyce seemed to know exactly how to approach her, using a mix of play, routine, and gentle encouragement. By the time I got back, Kyedae was relaxed and even seemed a bit attached to Joyce — something I hadn’t seen before with a new person. I’d trust Joyce to look after her again in a heartbeat.

Schedule

I’m a university student nearing graduation and am studying Chemistry. I’m now past the stage where I have to be in the lab everyday so I’m at home 24/7 writing my dissertation and resting! This also means I’m free to dog-sit everyday since I will be at home and will be able to give my attention to your dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a flat in a high rise building with elevators and a concierge. It is spacious, modern and clean. I have a park nearby where I can bring your dogs on walks. I allow dogs on my couch.

A typical day

I love bringing dogs on walks in the park and playing fetch with them. At home, we can watch movies together, and test out their dog tricks! If they’re tired they can take a nap on the couch.
