“Thank you so much for looking after Simba. Updates about visit were helpful, Josh has done a good job. Very pleased and would be confident to book again.”


7. Alvie C.
“Miss Alvie is a great carer for pets. She took care of my two dogs (my children) whilst I was away for a few weeks. I was very nervous initially as my dogs are my whole world. However Miss Alvie reassured me that they were being taken care of so well. I would regularly get updates on how they were doing and she made she to keep them in their usual routine. She loves animals and gives them the best care that they deserve. Having two dogs of her own we could relate to each other well and she understood the demands of having dogs and being a dog owner. If I ever need a place to stay for my dogs again, I will be contacting Miss Alvie straight away!”

About: I have cared for Animals my whole life, I got my first dog A border collie when I was two. once I grew old enough, I began to take him out for walks Most days and care for him. I dealt With his fragility, legs giving out, lack of energy and incontinence. later we got a puppy. I began teaching this puppy toilet training and How to stay in a routine, I taught him to Sit, Rollover, Give nose kisses, To press buttons, Etc. Alongside this, I have also had care in having a tortoise and three cats, 2 Currently. one being a senior cat and the other being a kitten who i have taught to sit and open doors!! 😅 i have pet sat for many friends and relatives so have experience in different personalities and sizes of animals i am currently studying at university and have tuesday and wednesday evenings after 5 and thursdays free! being away from home means i don t get to see my animals on a routinely basis and i really miss having them around!! i ensure there is a fenced in environment before the animals are able to roam around, i keep doors and other access or escape point shut and avoid leaving them without supervision


9. Lauren P.

“Lauren did a great job looking after our cat. She provided daily updates and pictures, plus anything she thought might be an issue, which was really reassuring. Plus she kept the cats food area really clean and tidy, and even emptied our bins. Lauren established an instant bond with our cat and he was the most relaxed we have seen him after a holiday.”

About: I owned a total of 10 dogs in my life so far, and even if at the moment I can't keep any, I would love to spend as much time as possible with them! Volunteering with PDSA and soon to start a Dog Grooming course in college at Enfield. Next dream is to become Vet Nurse, road is long but I will get there eventually! I'm working part time, Monday all day, Thursday and Friday from 8am to 2pm. Fully available Tuesday, Wednesdays and weekends. Available evenings and nights for pet sitting I live in a small flat, but I'm convinced pets need love more than space - and they're more adaptable than us if they feel safe...and have a full belly! More than happy to sit at owner's place, I live next to very well connected transport links and I cycle a lot, so can reach East London without fuss


13. Ellie T.
“Ellie was great with my dog and cat. She was quick to answer messages and provided me up updates/photos and videos of my dog and cat, which made me feel at ease. They came back very happy from their visit. They both came home with goodie bags and a lovely photo of their stay. Highly recommend.”


14. Sara I.
“I trust Sara to look after my cat. She was able to medicate him as he's on medication for skin issues. She also was able to bring him out from hiding as he can be quite shy around strangers. I've had her look after my boy multiple times and she's never failed me”




15. Lela B.
“I highly recommend Lela, she is so passionate about any dog breeds. She did dog sitting for my bulldog, I would not leave him with anyone; but with Lela he bonded straight away; I felt comfortable to leave him. Knowing she was very capable of making him comfortable and looking after him properly.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I’ve lovingly looked after my own two dogs while also helping friends and family with their pets. From daily walks to grooming, feeding, and providing companionship, I’ve ensured every dog under my care feels loved and well-attended. I'm currently working part time and am looking for something to fill my time between jobs that I care about and have a passion for. Animal care is just that thing! I'll ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well-cared for, providing constant supervision, following routines, and creating a secure, comfortable environment. Any pet of any size.


18. Gena T.
“Gena is the kind of pet caregiver every pet owner dreams of finding. She’s not just responsible and attentive—she genuinely loves my dog and cat as if they were her own. Knowing they’re with her brings me complete peace of mind, and I can’t recommend her enough.”


19. Roxanna A.
“Very kind ,my pet seemed very happy with her :) I highly recommend!we will cooperate again definitely! I have a 5 years old dobbie :)”


20. Chloe G.
“I have no hesitation to recommend Chloe as a pet-sitter/dog walker. My dog loves spending time with her and is always very excited to see her. Chloe is responsible, experienced, and understands the needs of individual pets. Coby is getting a little grey around the muzzle now and although loves to play still, and enjoys a good walk, he also loves to sleep, mainly curled up with Chloe and snoring happily. Chloe genuinely loves dogs, and animals in general. She is kind, caring and very happy to meet the needs of both pets and owners wherever possible. Coby has epilepsy and takes half an anti-seizure tablet twice daily. I completely trust Chloe to administer this and ensure he is safe and healthy. She also takes great photos, so will keep you updated of your pets adventures!”
