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.

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!

Dog Walking • Jun 22, 2026

Karen was great with Henry, he took to her straight away which is always a good sign! She is communicative, responds quickly, and kept me updated throughout. She made sure he was walked and fed, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again.

Kat is amazing with dogs! She looks after them well and is very affectionate and loving. She is very responsible and will always make sure they are stimulated, walked and fed. I can tell she is a huge animal lover. Would highly recommend her to look after any and all pets!

I was really happy when Karen said she’d care for my dog whilst I was on a work trip. She was looked after so well, and it was clear that a lot of attention and affection went into caring for her. Communication was great throughout, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Mya seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I picked her up. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Mya! 🐾❤️

I am a freelancer and work from home which means I have a very flexible schedule. This means that I can provide lots of attention throughout the day and adapt to your dog’s needs.

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.
