About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes and I love the unique energy they bring. Whether you need board or just walks I’d love to get to know your furry friend. I’m a work from home screenwriter so my schedule is very flexible and I already take myself out for long walks anyway so a bit of animal company would be nice. I own my own place so board is also not a problem. My apartment has good space and is very airy and light so would be a very comfortable space for your dog or cat. Happy to accommodate for whatever makes them happiest.

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.

“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.”


“What a great guy...looked after Vybez brilliantly she loved him. Took care of her so well and great communication. Would definitely recommend Christopher to look after your pet. We will be definitely be using him again”


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. I am very flexible with times! An animals health and safety is my priority, I am able to make sure that the dog is well taken care of, as well as walked an appropriate amount of time every day, these qualities I picked up when becoming a dog owner myself. I ensure that all decisions about the dog are first talked over with the owner, in order for the owner and dog to be comfortable

“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.”

Pretty flexible with my schedule, weekdays mainly from 8am until late, can do weekends when available. Just let me know and I can make it work :) Pets in our home are looked after exceptional well, we give them all the love that they would get in there normal homes. I also have a dog already who loves to play with anyone that comes over.

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. I will treat your pet like part of my family. In my home, I provide a calm, caring, and safe environment for dogs. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any special needs. I take the dogs out for regular walks in the nearby park, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel relaxed and loved. My home is child-friendly and quiet, so your dog will feel welcome and comfortable during their stay. I treat every pet like part of the family.

Whether you’re working long hours, heading out of town for the weekend, or planning a holiday getaway, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with both cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have a 6 year old poochon and he is friendly and loves to have friends over :) I specialize in day sitting, overnight in-home stays, and holiday care—giving your dog a stress-free experience in a familiar and relaxed setting. I tailor every stay to match your dog’s personality and routine, whether they love snuggles, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my day around the pets in my care, ensuring they get timely meals, walks, play, and rest.

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!

About: My sweet Pip, I miss her so much that I'll share my love for her with all the other cuddly furbabies when their own owners are out. I have flexible hours from day to day, as I work most days from home, I need more breaks and walk around a bit more. What better way to wind down, then to walk or cuddle with a furbaby. Every pet and owner has their own needs and requirements of any sitter or walker. So hopefully with clear communication I can strife to be the sitter/walker they need. I have lots of time and attention to do what is best for every situation that might come up.
