Home Away From Home for Your Dog 🩷

I’m an Australian living in London who has loved dogs for as long as I could breathe. I owned a dog (Jack Russell x Staffy!) from the age of 5 to 20, so training and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to London, I haven’t been able to have a pet of my own, which is why I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’ve previously dog sat for friends and neighbours, both at my own place and in their homes. Morning runs are part of my daily routine so I can guarantee plenty of outdoor time for your pup! But no matter if it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles on the sofa, I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own.

Kaeron was so nice to kindly accept our last minute booking. We were at peace during our baby boy's stay with her the whole time. She is updating and sending pictures from time to time. Definitely highly recommended!!! ✨

Karen was really good with Bailey. She sent me lots of updates and pictures, which was very reassuring. She also gave Bailey his medication, which was incredibly helpful. I would definitely recommend Karen and would be very happy for her to look after Bailey again.

Karen is an great dog sitter! It was the first time our pup Eileen went to stay so I was a little worried on how she’d settled but Karen sent me lots of pics and videos. It was clear Eileen was being well cared for and was happy. Would def recommend. Thank you!

Karen did an amazing job looking after Molly! She made sure Molly was always looked after and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend Karen for dog sitting!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a two-bedroom new build apartment with a balcony. We are a smoke-free household and do not have any pets. The building is very dog-friendly, has a fenced roof terrace, and also a fenced courtyard - both with plenty of grass to play around in. I also live 4 mins from a park. No matter where I am, I’ll always have your pet’s safety at the forefront of my mind at all times. I always treat everybody’s home with respect, so if housesitting, I will no doubt keep your home clean and tidy. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.

A typical day

I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions/schedules carefully, and make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.
