“Amazing lady 💯 Jeanette is a lovely lady. She welcomed my boy with all his craziness. She was quick to respond to my last minute request, she was patient and very polite to us both, kept me in the loop with pictures and videos. He didn’t want to leave her. Thank you Jeanette. Xx”

“Stuart is highly communicative and takes lots of photos/videos; something I really appreciate when i’m at work and need to leave her. He takes care to consider her individual needs and preferences (right down to frozen vs regular yogurt as a snack!) and I feel happy leaving her with him.”

About: I began sitting dogs when I rescued my own, Polly, in a small Colombian town when she was just three months old. She’s now four years old, calm, well-trained, and incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. In my family, dogs are part of everyday life—my sisters have a schnauzer, a husky, and a border collie, my brother has a cocker spaniel, and my mother also has a cocker. I’ve had the joy of caring for each of them at different times, and they all get along beautifully with Polly. Because Polly is so gentle, she naturally helps other dogs settle in, especially those with separation anxiety. Beyond my family, I’ve also looked after my partner’s sister’s dogs—a Boston terrier and a large 40 kg mixed breed—and several dogs from the friendly pet community I’ve joined since moving to the UK a year ago. One of Polly’s closest friends here is a nine-year-old Boston terrier, who I’ve cared for during longer stays of 10 and 12 days. No matter the breed, size, or personality, I adapt to their needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Since completing my master’s degree, I work remotely from home, which means I can give dogs full-time attention. My days are already built around Polly’s care—we go for three walks daily, including time for play, sniffing, and exploring new routes. Having this routine makes it easy to welcome other dogs into our schedule without disrupting their needs. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can stick to your dog’s specific feeding times, walk schedules, and play sessions. I also prepare Polly’s BARF meals every two weeks, so I’m used to following precise feeding instructions, whether for raw diets, cooked meals, or kibble. With my flexible hours, I can accommodate early morning drop-offs, late pick-ups, or special routines, making your pet’s time with me stress-free for both you and them. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly studio flat with Polly. Although it’s a studio, it has plenty of room for dogs to move around, and a large, secure, fully fenced balcony where they can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and people-watching. Polly loves lying out there, and visiting dogs often join her for a peaceful rest. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure the space is safe, tidy, and free from hazards. I respect each owner’s preferences for feeding, exercise, and sleeping arrangements, and I’m attentive to special needs such as medication or anxiety management. I treat every dog as if they were my own—ensuring they feel secure, happy, and loved from the moment they arrive until the moment they go home.
“We are extremely happy with Alicja and so is our dog! He is usually very nervous with new people and takes a while to settle and be happy with them but loves Alicja after their first day together. We will 100% be continuing to use her services and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Christopher and Chiara were absolutely fantastic looking after Bailey! They were both so accommodating, making sure he felt right at home. Sent plenty of updates, which was really reassuring, and took him on lovely walks. The fact that he actually ate while he was with them says it all—he must have felt so comfortable and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Bailey with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!"”

About: I love animals! I have grown up with many dogs, ranging from small terriers to German Shepards, over the last couple of years I have advanced my love for animals to walking and taking care of dogs. I, personally, have a doberman as well as a cat, but have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes, from Westies, to cocker spaniels, to Samoyeds and Cane Corso's, as well as this at any social gathering, I would much rather engage with the animals than the people :) I have experience walking, bathing, feeding and training some dogs. Feel free to get in touch! I am available most of the day, however would need to be told in advice to clear my schedule. I am available for early walks, to daytime care, to evening walks.

About: I cared for a dog in a private family for almost two years, where I was fully responsible for her daily needs. I walked her regularly, fed her, gave her baths, and dried her after. This experience taught me to be patient, consistent, and attentive to a dog’s routine and comfort. I treat every dog like my own — with love, care, and respect. I also understand how important it is to follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I live in a cozy, child-friendly home with my 2-year-old child. We also live close to a park, which is perfect for daily walks and outdoor playtime. I’m home most of the day and can give your dog lots of attention, comfort, and care.

About: *For DOG WALKS: please note the price is related to nearby houses (where I don’t need to take a bus). For distant houses, the price of transportation + £5 will be added to the value. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I always had dogs as a kid and since I arrived in UK in 2019 me and my partner look after dogs using different platforms for daily stays, overnight stays and even house&pet-sitting in different locations around England. At our place, dogs are family and we treat them with all love and care, always paying attention to their individual needs and always keeping their owners updated of the pet’s day while with us. I usually work from home, but I have to go some days per week to the office! If known in advance, I can arrange my calendar to have dogs at my house during the day and for sleepovers. If planned in advance, I can also arrange long stay-ins! I usually ask some days in advance for bookings so we can arrange all the details making the pet’s staying as easy as possible. Their comfort and the owner’s peace of mind is my priority, so I’ll only accept the service if I can ensure I will be able to dedicate my full attention to your pet!!! I have a balcony at my flat and my building has a rooftop and a courtyard with a lot of grass and space for running and playing. I also organise play dates with other dogs in this space, if the dog I’m looking after is good with another pet. I also take dogs for their bathroom breaks outside the building and for grab-a-coffee walks. If ok, I also take them to Central Park so they can play out of the lead, otherwise I will take them to my courtyard where is 100% safe and they can walk and sniff around freely. Usually I receive very fun pictures of very tired dogs after they spend the day with me, so I can say we have a lot of fun around this house!! Please reach out for more details! Can’t wait to look after your fur-friend. See you!

Beyond that, I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative—I always keep owners updated with photos, messages, and any concerns so they have peace of mind. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and that level of personal investment really shows. I’m a teacher but I’m currently on a break so I just want to do what I love and be around positivity a lot more I have a secured apartment and the doors are always lock and can’t be accessed without the help of a human so it’s secured and safe

Milena F.
“Milena is brilliant with my fury son. She cares for him like he is her own and spoils him even more than I do (I didn't think that was possible). He thoroughly enjoys being there and waits for her to come to the door (with tail wagging) when I drop him off. Even better, she and her partner tire him out, so when he comes home, he naps. Therefore, they are giving him much playtime because he rarely naps. She is a great communicator, sending texts, pictures or videos daily. Milena is my preferred sitter; I feel most comfortable and relaxed when he is with her. I highly recommend her and use her services often.”
Precious I.
“Precious took care of our baby Pom Bear when we went on a vacation..Given the circumstance that our fur baby is not a people’s person they got along really well just shows how good she is.. She was also contacted on a short notice and she did amazing for a week we were away.. I trust her with my fur baby and i’ll recommend her because she’s a sweet soul”
