“Fernando was fantastic with Gus from start to finish. I received regular updates throughout the week - photos, little notes about how he was settling in, and general check-ins that really put my mind at ease. His home setup is perfect for dogs. Gus had plenty of space to play and explore, and he absolutely loved spending time with Bailey (his new best mate). It was clear he was happy and stimulated the whole time. Fernando was professional and thoughtful. He asked all the right questions about Gus’s routine and temperament, offered a full tour of his home, and even suggested a trial visit beforehand - which I really appreciated, especially knowing Gus can be selective with other dogs. It’s rare to find someone so considerate about a dog’s individual needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Fernando again. Christian & Gus 🐾”

“Daniel and Yoojin took wonderful care of coco. It was the first time we’d left him with someone else (in the past we’ve had sitters stay at ours), so we were naturally a little nervous, but they were incredibly patient and caring throughout. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Throughout our trip, we felt completely at ease knowing coco was in such great hands. The regular updates and photos were reassuring, and it was clear that coco was happy and well looked after. Dan and Yoojin went above and beyond and we can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for incredibly caring pet sitters.”

“Siobhan was perfect! She had my dog for a whole weekend and was amazing with her and so helpful with every little request and sent regular updates. Will definitely book Siobhan again :)”

“Oreste was a fantastic sitter! He kept me updated throughout with daily pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog was clearly happy and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend him and book again!”


“Max was great with Monty and he was sending me updates throughout the weekend. Monty had so much fun, and didn’t want to leave! I felt comfortable from the moment I dropped him off. Would highly recommend Max 😁”

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I also regularly look after my in-laws’ dog whenever they travel, ensuring he stays happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their absence. I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment, always following each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to make them feel relaxed, secure, and loved while they’re in my care. have a flexible routine and can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the week and can adapt to morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on the dog’s needs. I make sure to keep a consistent and reliable schedule so each dog feels comfortable and well looked after. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home for every pet in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific routines. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure, with constant supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day
“Heather was an amazing support. I know Ivy was in safe hands and she came back tired which means she was busy, had lots of fun and made a fuss of. Heather was easy to communicate with which makes the whole progress so easy. Thank you!”

“I’m very happy with Tuan’s service. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and they went above and beyond to ensure Nala was comfortable. I’ll definitely use their service again in the future!”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner who truly understands the routines and care dogs need. What makes my service unique is the combination of exceptional outdoor space (Wanstead Flats is right on my doorstep for long walks and play), flexible working arrangements (if desired, I can take your dog to my office for company throughout the day), and a well-socialised, friendly dog who loves meeting new friends. Your dog won’t just be looked after - they’ll be genuinely engaged and enriched. Whether it’s exploring the extensive open spaces of the Flats, enjoying a calm day at the office, or having a canine companion for socialisation, I can provide a proper home-from-home experience. I’m happy to maintain any specific routines, dietary requirements, or training approaches you’ve established. I treat every dog in my care as I treat my own: with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I work full time but have flexible arrangements. I typically work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I’m able to take dogs to the office with me on other days if they’d enjoy the different environment and socialisation. This means your dog will have company and attention throughout the day, every day, rather than being left alone. I’m available for boarding on weekends and evenings. Your dog will be treated as part of my household. I have one friendly, well-socialised dog who’s excellent with other dogs and provides gentle companionship. My home is secure and I’m experienced in managing different dogs’ needs, whether that’s separate feeding times, crate training, or giving space to dogs who prefer their own company. I’ll always follow your instructions on walking routines, including whether your dog should be on or off lead.

“Amazing sitter would definitely rebook. I have a very excited Jack Russell mix with a ton of energy. I am always nervous to leave her but Libor provided lots of reassurance and sent daily photos. They went for walks everyday, he kept her cool during the heatwave and administered her daily allergy tablet.”

“Andrea looked after Freddy for a couple of days and she was great, keeping us updated throughout the day and sending pics of him. He must of loved being with her as he kept looking behind and pulling to go back when we went to collect him. We will defo book again in the future and thank you Andrea for taking good care of our little baby.”


“Pippa has been absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we feel so lucky that we chose Pippa to look after Truffle. Truffle spent 18 days with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Pippa kept us updated every day with lovely photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. We could clearly see how happy Truffle was and how much fun she was having during her stay. Pippa is caring, trustworthy, and clearly loves what she does. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet. She is definitely our number one choice, and we will absolutely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”

“Kaeron was so nice to kindly accept our last minute booking. We were at peace during our baby boy's stay with her the whole time. She is updating and sending pictures from time to time. Definitely highly recommended!!! ✨”

“We felt very at ease leaving Teddy with Dongmei and Thomas. They organised a meet and greet a couple of days before to talk things over. We rescued Teddy 7 years ago and this is the first time he has stayed with someone away from home. We were delighted with the pictures they sent showing us Teddy was at ease and enjoying his vacation away from home. ❤️. Would definitely board again. Caroline.”


“Ely was really lovely, calm, and reassuring. Ely suggested a few meet ups before the boarding daye to help settle Domino and make sure she was familiar with him and Nova. Ely sent lots of updates and pictures of Domino in the house and out and about while we were away which was really nice. I will definitely be booking Domino to stay with Ely and Nova again.”

“The dogs came back happy and obviously very well cared for. Both Nicola and her partner were obvious very good to them and provided constant updates. We will definitely be using them again if we need.”

“Anke and her lovely family have done such a wonderful job of looking after Lolly. It was our first time away from her and we were sent regular photos and videos to reassure us that she was having the best time! So lovely to see her palling around with other pups and having the time of her life. We highly recommend and will definitely book again ❤️”

Jimmy had my furbaby for a long weekend and he was great. His apartment is dog friendly and clean. I received updates and photos which I enjoy, and followed meal time instructions, he even administered medication. I could see my furbaby had a great weekend, just like me! I'd definitely use Jimmy's services again.

Andrea is amazing - Teddy is away from home.for the first time and can be anxious. He very soon settled in and made him himself very comfortable. Andrea was very attentive and responsive to him and sent us lots of messages and pictures, truly wss home away from home for him. I can not recommend her enough.

Jennifer is amazing. This is the second time I have used Jennifer, and she is as lovely and accommodating as the first time. I had regular updates and photos, she took my boy on trips to the park despite having a lovely garden and could see that she made him feel at home. Thank you, would definitely recommend and use in future,

Matilde looked after CoCo for the bank holiday weekend , Matilde was absolutely fantastic! Meeting beforehand really helped ease my anxiety, and she was professional, polite and incredibly reassuring throughout. She asked all the right questions about medication, feeding, and any specific needs, and kept me regularly updated during the stay. A lovely, safe environment where you can leave your dog completely stress-free. Highly recommend, will defo book again x ❤️🐶

Daniel and Brian were amazing! They took such good care of Sunny and he had the absolute best time with them (and little Ashford ❤️)! I was a little nervous at first about leaving him for five nights, but the daily updates, photos, and wonderful evening reports from them both really put my mind at ease and meant I could relax and enjoy my holiday even more.. Thank you so much Daniel and Brian for your care! You are the best!

I Literally can not thank these Ladies enough, My koba loved staying here for week, he settled so well and was looked after amazingly. Adonia kept me informed regularly about how he was doing. You could just tell how much he loved staying with these ladies. Thank you so much 😊

Leunta, is a wonderful kind and caring host who gave Mollie and Mabel a lot of love, care and attention for their weekend stay.. Leunta provided regular updates (pics and videos), made good friends with Leo and went out for walks in the park. I would defintiely use Leunta's services again. Thankyou

Holly was brilliant from the very beginning. She met our dogs in the park before booking, which gave them reassurance straight away and helped them feel comfortable. She was very easy‑going, patient, and answered every question we had. Her communication was excellent — always responding quickly and keeping us updated throughout the stay with daily photos, videos, and messages. She is incredibly reliable, and our dogs came home happy, confident, and clearly very well cared for. She even took extra care of our little one who unexpectedly came into season during her stay, which we really appreciated. Holly went above and beyond by helping us unload and load all the dogs’ belongings — such a thoughtful touch. Her dog Ruby must have been a lovely influence too; our two definitely enjoyed being around her. We would absolutely recommend Holly and will definitely be returning. Thank you again for everything, Holly — you were amazing.

Jeanett has been amazing with Ivy. She looked after her for over two weeks while we were on holiday and kept us updated throughout with lots of photos and videos. It was wonderful to see Ivy having so much fun, especially playing with Jeanett’s dog, Argos, they became great friends! Jeanett took Ivy everywhere she went, and it was clear that Ivy was treated like part of the family. We felt completely at ease knowing she was so well cared for and truly felt at home. We would highly recommend Jeanett to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be leaving Ivy with her again very soon.
