Faith was excellent while sitting my boy Chaos for two days and one overnight stay. Chaos clearly adores her. She took him on a lovely adventure to Epping Forest and asked all the right questions during our introductory meeting. She also sends daily updates, which is very reassuring. I look forward to booking her again in the new year 💗

About: I’m an Australian living in London who has loved dogs for as long as I could breathe. I owned a dog (Jack Russell x Staffy!) from the age of 5 to 20, so training and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to London, I haven’t been able to have a pet of my own, which is why I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’ve previously dog sat for friends and neighbours, both at my own place and in their homes. Morning runs are part of my daily routine so I can guarantee plenty of outdoor time for your pup! But no matter if it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles on the sofa, I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I am a freelancer and work from home which means I have a very flexible schedule. This means that I can provide lots of attention throughout the day and adapt to your dog’s needs. I live in a two-bedroom new build apartment with a balcony. We are a smoke-free household and do not have any pets. The building is very dog-friendly, has a fenced roof terrace, and also a fenced courtyard - both with plenty of grass to play around in. I also live 4 mins from a park. No matter where I am, I’ll always have your pet’s safety at the forefront of my mind at all times. I always treat everybody’s home with respect, so if housesitting, I will no doubt keep your home clean and tidy. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.

About: My husband and I both owned dogs back at our home country respectively, and we both missed them very dearly. We had our dogs since they were 2 weeks old, my husband is great at training puppies and I am organized in keeping the hygiene of the pets. I am a stay at home wife, which allows me to have plenty of time to keep the pets well accompanied and taken care of. It's an apartment with just my husband and I, we do not have kids around nor other pets here so the pets will not face any conflicts and have plenty of space.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 15, as I helped neighbors and family friends look after them while they went on holidays. I grow up with cats and dogs I love teach new tricks, long walks I currently work 3 hours a day, but I have enough time during the day to play with them, go for walks, and I am available for boarding every day, including weekends. I have a fenced garden and an adorable dog who is very friendly and playful, but if it bothers you, I can separate them so they're not in the same space, since my house is big and has several rooms.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs all my life and have always been very comfortable around animals. Friends, neighbours, and family members have trusted me to help care for their pets, including feeding, walking, playing, washing and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am patient, reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and being outdoors. I understand the importance of routine, trust, and communication when caring for pets, and I would treat every dog with the same love and care I would give my own. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends, so I’m home most of the time and able to give dogs plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have regular breaks during work hours that I’m happy to use for walks and outdoor time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m in the office from 8am to 4pm, but I’m available before and after work. I live close,2 min walk to a dog park and a larger park only around 7 minutes away, which is perfect for walks and exercise. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely relax, play, and spend time outdoors. I currently don’t own any pets, but I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life and I’m very comfortable caring for them. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, loved, and well cared for while staying with me. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and happy to follow any feeding routines, walking schedules, or special instructions provided by owners.

About: Hi! We are Marcela and Nick. We are a dog loving married couple, who can't wait till we have a fluffy one of our own one day. Until then, we fill this void by taking care of other fury friends as if they are our own. Working from home enables us the flexibility to attends your dogs needs, such as going for long walks, plenty of cuddles and toilet breaks. I am an early bird and therefore have no problem starting my day with a quick walk. My husband Nick is an evening owl and he usually does the last toilet break of the day along with some good night snuggles. Both of our roles are flexible, allowing us to attend any needs at our chosen time and give your fur ball's undivided attention. Every dog has different needs and routines, so I ensure that this is not highly interrupted whilst staying with us. I try to make their stay as comfy as possible and guarantee they are well looked after by creating a safe space.

About: I think taking care of pets are a pretty serious job, cause they are part of someones family and dogs as cats have to be treated with love and care to make your job well. And also it's such a fun activity to do walk with pets. I'm available at the moment to work part time and temporarily these months. All weekdays and if you want weekends as well until 6pm. Preferably not every day, maybe on Tuesday I couldn't because of my studies, but I would love to take care of your pets when you need it. I could walk your dog or care for your cat at home if that is more convenient for the owner, depending on how would it be the circumstances

About: I grew up in a home with dogs and have always been around them. While I don’t have formal sitting experience yet, I genuinely love dogs and feel happiest spending time with them. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every dog with care and respect. Until I’m able to have a dog of my own, sitting will be a meaningful way for me to enjoy caring for dogs and give them love, walks, and companionship. I will be working from home some days, which will give me flexibility to care for dogs during the day. I will usually be free on weekends and will enjoy spending that time giving dogs plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I will make pet care a priority and fit it comfortably into my routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priorities. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding routines, walking schedules, and house rules. I will maintain a calm and clean environment and will make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and treated with patience and care at all times.

About: I have taken care of many breeds of dogs for over 7 years including French bulldogs, pugs, golden retriever, Maltese, King Charles spaniel, and Cavapoo to name some. I am aware of their different needs and personalities and have thoroughly enjoyed caring for all of them from puppy to old age! I have some freedom with my time at the moment to give catered attention and care to pets through the day. I have been sitting for 2 dogs on a regular basis for the last 3 years, and I have a lot of experience with dogs who are anxious, and need more tailored care than others. I keep owners up to date and understand the need to feel comfortable and communicated with when away from your pets! I also can’t wait to own a doggo myself one day! I currently work hybrid and have some freedom and flexibility to go for walks when needed, if booked in advance and can provide some last minute help on days that I am not in the office I live in a private building that is pet owner friendly with lots of fellow dogs going for walks in the local park and common. Building is secure and protected by fob-only access. My flat is spacious enough and has outside secured balcony space for pets to roam or get fresh air. I live in a residential area with a large park to take nice walks near. I have a selection of some dog toys that I keep incase my friends pets visit and create a great space for them!
