Ratings and reviews
Many thanks to Toby and Lara for keeping our cute Truffe. Both Toby and Lara were super friendly, with very fluid communication. During the 3 days, they send us many pictures and were the most reassuring with us. I fully trust them to take care of Truffe. Thanks again for your great flexibility !

We left our Ralphie with Toby and Lara for 6 nights and it was a great experience. We got daily updates and Ralphie seemed to have enjoyed every second of his stay! It was our first time doing this, it’s a great relief everything went well. Thank you again!

Thank you for taking such great care of Winnie!

Toby and Lara have been absolutely wonderful in looking after Alma over the past 5 weeks 🐾❤️. From the very beginning, they were reliable, attentive, and clearly caring in everything they did 😊✨. They took the time to understand Alma’s needs and routine, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away 🙏🏽🏡 Throughout the 5 weeks, communication was excellent 📱💬 I always felt updated and reassured. Alma was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable in their hands 😄🐶 It’s obvious that Toby and Lara are responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely kind people who go above and beyond 🌟💛 I’m very grateful for the level of care and attention they provided 🙌🏽, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and thoughtful sitters ⭐️👍🏽

Toby and Lara were absolutely amazing. Our dog had the best time with them and was clearly very happy and well cared for. They kept us updated and shared lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like their own. I would highly recommend Toby and Lara to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters.

Such a great experience overall. They were super communicative, sent lots of photos, and were really kind and thoughtful with Ezra. He came home happy and clearly loved his time with them. I’d absolutely recommend Toby and Lara to watch your pet, and I would happily book again.

Schedule
Toby works fully remote, meaning he is home a lot and loves having the company of a dog or cat. Lara works from home 2-3 days a week and we always find a nice balance to ensure we are home with whatever pet we are looking after. We are extremely flexible. Tobys favourite activity is visiting coffee shops in the morning and introducing the dog to everyone inside then go for walks at lunch. Lara loves taking dog the river for morning walks!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have both owned a dog before so in terms of keeping them safe on walks we are well-trained on dogs when they are out and about. Additionally, due to our experience of owning dogs, we understand that your home also needs to be ready for a dog, we want to ensure you feel comfortable leaving your pet with us and will always make sure we do meet ups/house visits before if this is something you would want!
A typical day
Toby has a lot of energy, so he would take the let around the lovely parks in Hammersmith, whether that be taking them to Stamford Brook or Ravenscourt and letting them enjoy some off-lead time in the dog park (if this i something you were happy with). Lara loves taking them for a stroll down the river, meeting other dogs along the way. At home we love having a dog who keeps us company and we can play with, and settle down with in the evening. We will always match the activities we do to the energy of your dog :)

- It would be good to know if your dog has any favourite treats, if there is anything they really like How often they like to be fed, walking schedule and any nick names that they like to be called. Any little quirks you think are important for us to know.
