“Koby stayed overnight at his second home again with Ronnie & Lizet. He was spoilt rotten as usual. He got plenty of cuddles, walks and pampering. I am never worried when I leave him with the family they love him as their own 🥰🥰❤️❤️”

“Clare and Ness looked after our dog very well. They provided some lovely updates and Rain seemed very relaxed and happy. Dog friendly home with outdoor space. They were very flexible about timings and willing to meet any specific requests.”

“Our 2 year old Rotty spent 2 nights with Chris and Chiara for the first time. Chris came to visit him in advance of the boarding and also agreed to meet a few days before his stay. Chris communicated promptly and shared photos and provided updates throughout Diesel’s boarding. When we collected Diesel he was very happy and didn’t want to leave Chris. This was very reassuring for us. We will definitely use Chris and Chiara again. Thanks guys for looking after Diesel.”

“Thank you Anke & family for taking care of my baby so well. It was our first time to leave him for 2days. He obviously would've got anxious & depressed. But Dint think he’ll get used to anyone else, but amazed by how well he mingled. Thank you so much again 😊”

“Great sitter! Will be booking again…Milo looked like he had a great time! Anida communicated well and sent regular updates with photos, without prompting! I really would recommend her as a sitter. THNAK YOU ANIDA -from Milo 💕”

“Johanna was an exceptional cat sitter—I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially since it was the first time I’d ever left my cat. She sent regular updates and photos, which really reassured me and showed how relaxed and comfortable my cat was in her care. It’s clear he bonded with her and had a wonderful few days—it felt like a mini holiday for him. Johanna communicated clearly throughout, followed his usual feeding routine, and kept an eye on his litter habits. I’ll definitely be booking with Johanna again whenever I need a sitter.”

“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.”

“Baxter had a great time staying with Sandra and Alex. They made us feel so at ease when they were looking after him, and were so accommodating given that he’d got an injury hours before we were due to drop him off, so needed extra cuddles and care while he had his cone on. Thank you!!”

“George and Dorothy looked after Nellie for a long weekend and it was clear she had a wonderful time. We received multiple updates during the stay (including photos) and could tell Nellie had settled in super well and made herself at home with George and Dorothy! We felt reassured throughout that she was well cared for and would love to book for her to stay again in future.”

“Tuan Anh had hands down been the Best choice I could've made for looking after my Anxious, Fussy & at times Fearful Chihuahua Milo. Milo had an overnight stay for the first time with this particular Sitter & I received regular Photo, video & updates on how Milo was doing/settling in. Although he was initially sad when I left him he soon came out of his shell & I believe that's because of the excellent loving care Milo received. He was without a doubt very comfortable being around this very nice Sitter, his partner & their really cute dog; I'm quite sure Milo had a great time. Since I collected Milo he had been very chilled at home & very happy more so than usual, for all the reasons I pointed out I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this sitter & for Milo's next stay. Thank you🙂🦮”
“Upasna is one of the best pet sitters we have ever met. We are extremely happy we chose her to take care of our beagle dog Zirnis. She immediately connected with him and it was clear they were going to have a great time together at Upasna's home. She has a lot of experience dealing with any kind of dog and we were impressed by her superior knowledge of dog care. She sent us many pictures and videos and provided us with constant updates in terms of what was Zirnis doing, where they went, and what is his mood. We really appreciate this great communication. She took him out multiple times a day, went for long walks, and made sure he had enough entertainment during the day. Upasna lives in a spacious apartment, so there is plenty of space for the dog. Also, her husband is a very nice person, he loves dogs and helps her take care of them. Once we came to collect Zirnis from Upasna's home, it was obvious he already loved them both and wanted to stay for longer. I would certainly book her again and highly recommend Upasna's service.”

“Daphne and her husband were exceptional pet sitters for my 13 yo beagle! They showed genuine care and passion for dogs, providing engaging and attentive care throughout their stay. Regular updates and beautiful photos reassured me that my pet was in loving hands. They treated her like family, going above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Daphne and her husband as reliable and compassionate pet sitters, and I'm incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience they provided!”
About: Ciao and thanks for visiting my profile ;) My wife Laura and I moved from Sweden to London in 2021 with our lovely dog, Rita. She was a stray from Greece, and we’ve spent lots of time training her through positive reinforcement. She is extremely friendly, calm, and great with all dogs! I work mostly from home and live right next to West Ham Park in Forest Gate (East London), where Rita and I go for daily walks. I’d love to welcome and care for other friendly dogs - Rita enjoys having company, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Grazie! I normally work from home, and between Laura and me, we take Rita out 3 times a day to the parks (West Ham Park and Wansted Flats) near our apartment in East London My apartment is quite open space, we have a balcony where we like to spend some time during warmer days. No fragile things are located inside the apartment!
“Byron enjoyed another stayover for 4 days with Pepsi their little Frenchy. Owen and Renata and just Amazing with making Byron feel apart of their family and a real home away from home. We can leave him with them and know 100% that all will be well. A true blessing for us to know we can use them.to.look after our boy when we have to go away.”

“This was one of the best boarding experiences I’ve had - Shiwen is so kind, friendly, communicative and immediately asked all the right questions to make me feel like she really cares about providing a safe and fun environment for the dogs. Really great communication with daily update photos and videos which I really appreciated. Great trusted sitter, highly recommend!! Thank you so much!!”

About: I truly enjoy being around animals, and I care for each animal as if it were my own. I'm currently a sports med student in my final year, leaving me with plenty of time open for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays at any time of day (sometimes even with short notice). I've worked directly with dogs of different sizes and personalities, including energetic breeds and elderly canines that require a slower pace. My calm, patient approach and careful attention to detail are what truly make me stand out. I always take the time to learn about each animal's personality and habits since I understand how crucial it is for them to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I am currently a third-year university student studying sports medicine. I only have lectures 2 to 3 days a week, in which some of the lectures are only half a day. In your home, I stick closely to your rules. From feeding schedules to walking routes, I always respect your space. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I keep doors secure at all times, I have a fully fenced garden, and I never leave pets unattended outside. I have no young children or other pets in my household.
“Milena has been a great carer for Ben! She was sharing frequent updates and photos of Ben and following the guidelines I left her as to the caring. I will definitely stay in touch with her and ask for help in the future :)”

“Lenny takes a little bit of extra care because of his anxiety and reactions but Tolullah did an amazing job. She regularly kept us updated which really helped as it was Lenny's first time with her. He will definitely be back, thank you Tolullah!”
