Highlights
Pet care experience
Quality companionship for your furry friend!
With over four years of hands-on experience caring for a range of dog breeds, I’ve been the trusted companion for friends’ and family pets, where patience, attentiveness, and empathy have been my guiding principles. Recently, my bond with a sweet French Bulldog named Coco grew so strong that her previous owner entrusted me as her new, primary owner, knowing she would have the best life by my side. This experience inspired me to devote myself to dog care full-time, offering what I like to call “A Dog’s Best Friend” service. To me, this is more than just a job—it’s a commitment to providing genuine companionship to each pet in my care. While I may not hold formal qualifications, my dedication to continuously learning and deepening my understanding of animal care is unwavering. I believe my unique ability to connect with dogs on a deep, intuitive level shines through in everything I do.

Safety, trust & environment
I hold a DBS check that has been officially verified by the UK government, ensuring it’s accurate and giving you complete confidence in my services. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe that the best care starts with understanding both the household routine and each pet’s unique needs. That’s why I begin every engagement with a thorough consultation, where I learn about your pet’s personality, daily habits, and any special requirements. By spending time with you and your pet in their own environment, I ensure a seamless transition and build a foundation of trust. Whether it’s keeping familiar routines or simply providing a reassuring presence, my goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment for your pet right at home, allowing them to feel relaxed and at ease with their new companion.
Ratings and reviews
Theo is a wonderful dog sitter both our dogs love him. It was the first time we had used a house sitter and dog sitter service so we were quite apprehensive Theo sent us some great videos while we were away of the dogs to reassure us. We would definitely use Theo on our next trip
Theo is so great! He is kind, knowledgeable and thorough, giving excellent feedback and working closely with your dog’s behavioural guidelines. He’s a really lovely person who seems very dedicated to offering the best service, and wasn’t put off by my still very bouncy 10-month-old vizsla.
Theo was great with our puppy. We’ll be booking with him again.
Theo is a true professional. Before finding him, I’d contacted more than five pet sitters on Pawshake and Rover, most either never replied, disappeared halfway through the chat, or, in the worst case, one I’d booked and paid for on Rover ( high review ) simply didn’t show up for the meet-and-greet she scheduled herself. No message, no explanation. I quickly realized many sitters treat this as a casual side job, and it really shows. Contacting Theo was my last resort before sending my cats to boarding, which I knew would cause them a lot of stress. Even though he’s based in another city, he responded promptly when I reached out less than two weeks before my trip. The meet-and-greet went smoothly, and his professionalism was clear from the start. I was still a bit skeptical since this was my first time hiring a sitter after so many unreliable experiences, but Theo quickly earned my trust. He was always responsive with messages, sent video updates, and discussed what’s happening with the cats throughout my trip. One of my cats is very sensitive to change, when I tried boarding him before, he stopped eating for a week.....but with Theo’s calm and experienced handling, he started eating normally again within two days, even finishing his bowl (which is rare!). I also asked Theo to take care of my bonsai while I was away, and he did so carefully. He kept the house clean as well, which I really appreciated coming home to after my trip. All in all, I’ll definitely book Theo again in the future. If you’re on the fence, don’t risk it with part-timers, hire a real professional like Theo.
Theo was great with Woody. Woody had a great day, lots of play and good walks. Met all his needs, and sent lots of regular communication
Theo was wonderful. This was my second time booking with him and hopefully won't be the last. He is so caring and he keeps me well informed about my boy when I'm away from home which is such a comfort as I do worry. Thank you again Theo and for all that you do.
