Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet sitters (own house)
We’re Lara and Katherine. We’re a dog-loving couple who grew up with dogs in our hometowns and truly miss having them around every day. Between the two of us, we’ve spent years caring for our own pets as well as friends’ and neighbours’ dogs. Recently we started looking after pets here at home and realised how much we enjoy it, so we’re excited to expand and welcome more furry guests. Your pet will always have plenty of attention, playtime, and care — there’s usually two of us around, which means lots of company and supervision. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so we treat every dog as if they were our own: keeping their routine, giving them plenty of affection, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Please note: we usually welcome more than one at once in our home. If your dog is not comfortable with other dogs, we charge an extra £10 a day (less for longer bookings).

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend, Milo was very happy when he got back home. This was his first time when he went to the dog sitter and I was a bit scared about him but turns out Lara did a very good job. Thank you very much . Will be back again.
Two very happy dogs returned after a few days with Lara and her partner. I was kept updated the whole time I was away and they are great at responding quickly. Would happily recommend and book again.
Our dog had a lovely time staying with Lara - and he even had another furry friend to play with. Lara sent plenty of updates and managed to keep him entertained and cool in the hot weather!
First time using Lara and she was great! Kept sending plenty of updates, and Tucci was in a good mood when I picked him up
Lara and Catherine were great doggy hosts. They were communicative beforehand (as this is the first time Kenny went there) and kept me updated with pics and updates throughout the day.
Bertie is a bit of an anxious bouy, but he loves staying with Lara and Kathryn. This normally shy pup, gets zoomies with them and even will go on walks. We are so grateful to have great and reliable dogsitters for our fuzzball. Thank you! 🥰

Schedule
My schedule is very flexible as I work partly from home and partly from meetings around the city. This allows me to adapt my day depending on the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether they need multiple walks or just a quick outing. For well-behaved and social dogs I’m also happy to bring them along to dog-friendly cafés, bars or restaurants during some of my meetings so they’re not left alone and get a bit of extra stimulation. There are usually two of us in the house, so pets rarely spend long periods alone and get plenty of attention and care throughout the day (whether with me or with my partner)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We provide a calm, clean home environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. We own our home, so there are no building or landlord restrictions regarding pets. We always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines and any specific needs. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods as one of us is usually at home. We’re also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable and part of the household during their stay.
A typical day
We live about a 10 min walk from Tooting Common, so outings can be fun if we also bring some toys. In any case, there will be two of us in the house so entertainment will not be missed
