“Missy told me she had a wonderful time with Gabby and she looks forward to seeing her again.”


About: I absolutely love all animals and am a proud mother of 4 gorgeous cats, oldest one is Leo 16 years old (domestic) Matisse (british shorthair ) Monkey (british shorthair) and Arya (british shorthair ) They keep me laughing with their own unique personality and could not imagine them not being in my life, I love playing with them seeing them chasing around. I have looked after a friends shih tzu on many occasions, feeding and walking. Highlighting most importantly lots of love and cuddles. Which would be the case for all my 4 legged friends I will look after in the near future. Feel safe in knowing I will take the upmost care and give my undivided attention to all their needs however big or small. I am currently working part time so do have most of my day free, I am available from 9am until 8pm. And not south of London, apologies for this as I do not drive. I care for my beautiful fluff balls very much as I treat them with respect and give them endless love and cuddles, even when they are naughty.

“Andrea is genuinely the best provider of daycare I’ve ever come across, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. As I’m the proud owner of a lovely but fussy and spirited ageing daschund, it’s been historically tough to find someone who understands their needs. Andrea just gets it, being an owner of a lovely rescue daschund herself. Andrea was surprised when I said I’d never met someone so responsive and flexible as her either over the years - there’s always been some compromises with other daycare providers, but not here. Izzy (my daschund)) is the best judge of character, and within the first couple of visits to Andrea’s she was dragging me there in the morning, and running in to greet her not looking back at me once!. I’m so glad I found Andrea, it’s like Izzy has found a long lost family member who treats her as one of her own.”


“Paulina is a wonderful dog sitter. We left Mirchi with her for the first time. She made her feel as ease, take her out for walks, took amazing photos and made us feel very comfortable Highly recommended”


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.

About: At Fluffy Floofs, your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being come first. I'm Rosie, a lifelong dog lover turned professional dog walker & sitter. I’m certified by the Modern Dog Walkers Association (MDWA) & trained in Canine First Aid. Whether it’s a fun-filled walk, drop-in visits, home boarding or tailored care for your pup’s unique needs, I treat every dog like one of my own. I’ve completed various specialist courses, and I’m always learning new ways to support your furry best friend. Based locally, fully insured & DBS checked, I offer a friendly, flexible, and professional service that’s built on trust, love, and a whole lot of tail wags. 🐶 I work part time from home, so I’m available to give your furry bestie attention and supervision all day. I start each day with a morning walk and breakfast for the floofs in my care. Throughout the day, I offer plenty of playtime, training, toileting, and quiet time depending on each pet’s energy level and preferences. In the evenings, we wind down with a gentle walk and some cuddle time. On weekends, I love taking dogs to local parks or trails for extra exercise and enrichment. I also do weekly grooming checks—brushing, nail trims, and ear cleaning if requested. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers a calm environment, I tailor my routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Daily routines include morning walks, regular toileting in my fully fenced garden, feeding on schedule, and lots of playtime and cuddles. I maintain a calm atmosphere and follow any specific instructions you provide, including dietary needs or medication schedules. I also offer enrichment activities like puzzle toys, basic training reinforcement, and socialization (if appropriate) with my 2 friendly floofs. Your pet will have access to cozy sleeping areas and supervised outdoor time. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. I will also provide updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing. For house sitting, I maintain your home’s security and cleanliness, and I’m happy to take care of small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. I’m a proud registered member of the Modern Dog Walkers Association (MDWA), and I’ve completed their Professional Dog Walkers Course, including passing the assessment. I’m also trained in Canine First Aid, so your pup is in safe hands in case of emergencies. In addition, I’ve completed several basic dog training courses, including loose lead walking and recall masterclasses. I’d be more than happy to incorporate these skills into our walks if that’s something you’d find helpful! 🐾 I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you can feel confident that your pet—and your home—are in safe, trustworthy hands. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

“Great dog sitter. I have received regular updates with pictures. Chino was super relaxed and well taken care off. He went to the park for a walk. Super happy, would book Giulia again.”


“Mabel has had a fantastic day. Lisa was very friendly and accommodating at our meet & greet and I felt very confident leaving Mabel with her. I received lots of photos through the day and have just picked Mabel up, happy and exhausted from playing with Bella! I have already booked Mabel in for another day. Thank you 😊”


About: New users get £15 off their first booking with Rover with code JESSR71897 📣 I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently co-care for our 2 wonderful cocker spaniels with my mum - Lil who is a lively 12-year-old that I’ve raised from a puppy, and Oscar who is a sweet but deeply anxious 7 year who we rescued from a life of trauma from a rescue centre in Wales. Supporting his recovery has taught me so much about patience, gentleness, and tuning into what each dog really needs to feel safe ☺️ I’m currently in between jobs, after stepping away from a high-stress work environment to take a break, reconnect with what I love, and focus on what brings me joy and calm - animals being a huge part of that. Right now, I’ve got all the time in the world to give your dog my full attention, whether that’s long walks, sofa snuggles, or just being a calm, steady presence in their day 🧡 Whether I’m caring for a playful pup or a nervous older dog, I treat them like family - because they are. My approach is grounded, loving, and always tailored to what helps your dog feel their happiest and most relaxed self 🐶 I’m currently in between jobs after stepping away from a high-pressure role, and I’m taking this time to slow down, reset, and focus on the things that bring me joy, animals being a huge part of that. I have plenty of time and flexibility in my days right now, which means your pet will get my full attention and care. Longer term, I plan to return to work in a remote or hybrid role, so dog care will continue to be a natural and regular part of my home routine. I’m used to balancing focus time with dog walks, cuddles, and play breaks — it’s honestly the best way to spend a day! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly flat with no other animals or children, so dogs in my care get a calm and quiet environment with lots of one-on-one attention. While I don’t have a private garden, I’m surrounded by green spaces just a short walk away — including parks and a beautiful riverside path that’s perfect for regular walks and toilet breaks. I co-care for my mum’s two cocker spaniels, Lil and Oscar — they live with her full-time, so they won’t be in the home while I’m caring for other dogs. But if your dog enjoys the company of others, they’re both lovely, gentle, and very sociable — so play dates can absolutely be arranged if that’s something your pup would benefit from! Whether I’m looking after a dog in my own space or staying in their home, I aim to stick closely to their usual routine — from walk times and feeding to any special quirks, meds, or cuddles on the sofa. I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and totally at ease while you’re away — and I’ll always send regular updates so you can relax, too.

“Vinnie stayed for 2 daytime sittings with Kesava. He had a great time, and was so happy to see him again on the second day. Kesava and his family were very kind , would happily book again”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I grew up with dogs and cats, & I now share my gorgeous dog Madison with my ex, & so only have her 50% of the time. She's truly the love of my life, & so I know first hand just how much a pet means to their owner. When Madison isn’t with me, I really miss the companionship, which is why I’d love to spend time with other pets on my Madison-free days. I also occasionally look after my mum’s dogs (2 x cockapoos) and cats (2 x ragdolls), so I’m used to a variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a gentler pace, you can trust that I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and respect I give to Madison — as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home 4 days a week. I typically go into the office on a Thursday & have Madison Thursday evening-Sunday morning (although this can vary based on plans/holidays). I'm not yet in a position where I can board/daycare at my home whilst I have Madison, as she can be a bit scared of dogs she doesn’t know, but I should usually be able to offer drop in sessions at your home, or walks on those days. I have a one bedroom ground floor apartment, with a spacious living room. There isn't a private garden, but there are communal gardens just outside, and a big park three minutes away which is where I typically take Madison for walks. I have dog beds, plenty of dog toys, dog stairs to access the sofa (for any who struggle with jumping due to IVDD/back issues) and feeding bowls. Madison is not crate trained, and so I don't own a crate, but can of course use yours whilst here if needed. Pets are welcome on sofas/beds should this be something you're happy with. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I treat every animal with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own.

“José has been amazing with my dog Rio! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and provides great care, making sure Rio is happy and well taken care of. I can tell Rio loves spending time with him. I would highly recommend José to anyone looking for a trusted and experienced person to care for their dog.”


“Thanks so much for looking after Sonic , he seemed very happy and Oceane is super friendly. I would definitely recommend her for your pup.”


About: 🏡 Growing up with a variety of dog breeds including Labradors, Airedale terriers, Leonbergers, and Cockapoo’s from a young age has given me huge experience in caring for dogs - and of course, a huge love of our furry friends! 🐾🐶 I have experience breeding kennel club pedigree cockapoo's and have pet-sit in my home and at friends houses multiple times.

About: Growing up i was surrounded by dogs, there have always been 2 dogs in the house for as long as I can remember, for about 8 years and a half with the help of my mother, I've nurtured my French bulldog who has a deformed lip and nose which automatically made him the runt of his litter, recently I have adopted another frenchie that was kept in very bad conditions making her nipples bleed and took 4 baths to fully clean her. However these 2 livly dogs love to go outside and play in the dog park that is around the corner. Before my frenchies i had a labrador, bishon frise, Yorkshire terrier, and others. I am in my last year of college, and because of my course I am in school 3 days a week, Mondays and theusdays I'm in college till 4 pm whereas Tuesdays I'm in till 12pm, therefore I have a lot of free time to work at home with dogs I have 2 dogs at home, and 8 year old frenchie who is castrated and a 3 year old frenchie who isn't neutered yet, I have a back garden that is fenced so they can play safely.

“Danielle is a fairy! She came to our rescue when we needed urgent doggy day care for our 10 month old cocker spaniel pup Buna, and we couldn't be more grateful for her services and help. She is very friendly and approachable, and you can instantly tell how loving and caring she is towards dogs (and probably other animals too). She clearly gives our furry child the required attention as Buna comes home exhausted after playing with Danielle's own dog Luna and their walks. We cannot be happier with Danielle and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter/boarding place in Dagenham. Thank you, Jelena & Melvyn”


“Thanks Aslam, Teddy loved hanging out with you”


“My puppy Bailey had his first day at doggy daycare with Beverley and her own dog and he was well looked after. I had message updates and photos about his day and he came home happy and also tired from his busy day. It gave me peace of mind to go to work knowing he was happy and had company. Will definitely use Beverley again.”


About: I have owned a range of different breeds of dogs such as boxer, staffy and English terrier and I have loved every minute with them. I am happy to cater for all dog sizes and personalities. Let me know if you have any special requirements! I have taken care of loads of different types of animals from dogs, cats, lizards, Snakes, Tarantulas, Rabbits, Rats , dwarf hamsters and many more. I absolutely love animals and around most of the time at very short notice (free of charge) I prefer evening work but am happy to not be choosy haha ☺️ I have owned dogs for many years and I am very happy with the care and training I have provided them throughout the years. Looking after a pet isn’t just about loving them it’s also training them to maintain their safety. I would happily fight another dog in order to protect yours as I couldn’t imagine putting my own pet in harms way let alone another’s pet. Of course I stay vigilant so hopefully that will never get to that point.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a baby, when my Dad was a police dog handler and used to take me to the kennels to play with his dogs Tanya & Barney (German Shephards). My family and I have been trusted to look after friends’ dogs throughout my life - sometimes for up to 6 months at a time - and we have had our own pup, Buddy the Miniature Schnauzer since he was born in 2019 (although he doesn’t live with me in London). I work from home between 4 and 5 days a week and can be available at short notice to take care of your fur baby if needed. I have plenty of space in my apartment to crate your dog if it is helpful (although I don’t have my own crate). I have a completely enclosed balcony and my apartment backs onto a huge park, so there’s plenty of space for walkies and adventures together!

Rosie D.
“Testimonial for Rosie I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Rosie for over 20 years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy individuals I know—especially when it comes to animals. her natural connection with pets is truly heartwarming. Whether it's walking energetic dogs or caring for shy little pups, or simply making sure every pet feels safe and loved, Rosie goes above and beyond. She is always very punctual, attentive to detail, and always ensure that each pet’s unique needs are met. I’ve seen firsthand how animals respond to Rosie with excitement and affection, which speaks volumes about their gentle and compassionate nature. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Rosie as a pet sitter or dog walker. Your furry friends will be in excellent hands! Lee”

She’s helped care for Lil since she was a puppy 12 years ago, and when we adopted Oscar, who came to us with significant trauma, Jess was patient, calm, and incredibly intuitive with him from day one. She’s always tuned into what the dogs need, whether that’s play, space, cuddles, or calm structure. They both completely adore her, and I trust her completely with their care. I honestly think they listen to her better than they do to me! Any dog would be lucky to spend time with Jess — she treats every animal with love, kindness, and respect, as if they were her own.”

This job would suit Joe as he likes to meet different animals as well.”


Hannah K.
“To describe Hannah’s love for animals in particular dogs would take me an absolute age, so I will make this descriptive yet short. Having grown up around family dogs such as teddy, Barney and buster, she has always been such a loving and responsible person when it comes to the well fare and caring of dogs. A keen Walker, and play friend, she is always in the mood to keep the dogs occupied that she has encountered and been left responsible for. Our current family dog buddy is her best friend, inseparable at the best of times, and there is never a moment that goes by that he is not following Hannah around the house. There is no one better suited than hannah to look after 4- legged friends.”
