1. Amelia Z.
“Amelia is an attentive, responsible pet caregiver and owner who genuinely cares for animals and their wellbeing, and will go above and beyond to ensure their comfort and safety. She has taken care of my pets (two huskies and a terrapin) multiple times and always ensured theyre happy and well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend her for your services and can assure that she will be a fantastic fit.”
2. Ilinka V.
“Ina is wonderful. I’ll get straight to the point. She’s reliable, attentive and caring. An absolute pleasure to work with. She took fantastic care of my two Frenchies. I’ll definitely contact her again if I have to go away and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for someone to care for their dogs.”
3. Roisin M.
“I've known Roisin for almost 8 years now, I had the pleasure watching her become the woman she is now. A strong, independent, loving and such a caring person. She is the kind of person that can make everyone and anyone feel comfortable and included, always makes sure everyone is ok. We were lucky to have someone like Roisin to care for our 3 year old Cavalier boy, Luca who can be a cheeky little boy at times but very lovable. Our boy absolutely adores Roisin, he is always so excited to see her. She has helped us a lot when we've been away on holiday, always sends us pictures/videos of Luca and making sure we know he is taken good care of which is really assuring when you are so far away from him. We can always count on her”
4. Josh S.
“This week Josh and Mosco had their first few days together. Mosco seems to have had a great time and was his usual chill, happy self when we got back. Josh was great, kept in touch in the run up and during the sit. Took care of the flat really well and hopefully enjoyed his time with Mosco. We will definitely be asking Josh for his time again.”
5. Joseph S.
“Mosco had a great time with Joseph he was happy and chilled when we got back after an overnight trip. Flat was very neat and tidy everyone had a good time and we're looking forward to arranging the next one.”
6. Oksana J.
“Oksana was not only accommodating with a last minute booking having been let down late the night before but, she was amazing with my two dogs. Booking was for a day’s cover - played with the dogs and took them to the forest on a long walk as well as locally throughout the day. Highly recommended and will be booking again.”
7. Ellie T.
“Ellie was great with my dog and cat. She was quick to answer messages and provided me up updates/photos and videos of my dog and cat, which made me feel at ease. They came back very happy from their visit. They both came home with goodie bags and a lovely photo of their stay. Highly recommend.”
8. Mohammed S.
“Mohammed was an exceptional cat sitter! He took great care of my cat, ensuring she was well-fed, comfortable and entertained during my time away and made sure to reassure me with videos and messages. Mohammed clearly has a genuine love for animals. I came back to a happy and relaxed cat, couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommend him! Thanks Mohammed!”

11. Mya F.
“Mya has looked after my kitten countless times when I’ve been on holiday over the last year. She not only came to feed my Lulu but she spent time and played with her too x She visited daily and sent me pictures and updates on Lulu. She made sure my Lulu is okay and not lonely whilst I was away. I wouldn’t trust my Lulu with anyone other than Mya.”
12. Nicollette N.
“Nicollette is amazing. She kept my flat lovely and clean. I was nervous at first as I’ve never done this before but Nicollette kept me reassured and stayed in touch with me the whole week! She took care of my kitten very well and gave me updates. She’s so lovely and I 100% recommend her and hopefully will be able to have her look after my cat again! She’s the best!!”

About: I owned a total of 10 dogs in my life so far, and even if at the moment I can't keep any, I would love to spend as much time as possible with them! Volunteering with PDSA and soon to start a Dog Grooming course in college at Enfield. Next dream is to become Vet Nurse, road is long but I will get there eventually! Studying at the moment, free from 3.30pm onwards most days. From middle of May I will only have two lessons a week evening time, but not working so plenty of time left to be with furries I live in a small flat, but I'm convinced pets need love more than space - and they're more adaptable than us if they feel safe...and have a full belly! More than happy to sit at owner's place, I live next to very well connected transport links and I cycle a lot, so can reach East London without fuss
14. Danielle W.
“Danielle has always been the best person to look after our dear little cocker spaniel whenever we have been away.. always attending her needs and giving her everything a dog deserves.. I’d thoroughly recommend Danielle to look after your pet. Regards , H”
15. Ann E.
“Ann watched Mosco for a few days while my partner and I were at work and Mosco certainly enjoyed her company, choosing to curl up next to her on the sofa even before I'd left... she kept me updated with photos and messages and seems that he introduced her to his human friends in the area. I'm sure this will be the first of many sits that Ann will do with Mosco and we'll be happy to have her back when she's available! Thank you!”
16. Vania C.
About: My neighbour had a dog whom he often trusted me to care for during his business trips. I would pop in him for feeds and walks. I work 9-5. I spent most days at home WFH. I free most afternoons and weekends. My lack of hobbies means I am free to go on walks and monitor pets closely. I have an open plan living/dinning room which provides lots of space for a cat or medium size dog. I do live in the third floor of my apartment block, but I also have a gated garden for quick toilet breaks. My windows all have locks so kitten is at risk. I live 5min from gray’s beach park which offers a lovely walk location.
17. Scarlett W.
“My lovely dog Lacey had a litter of puppies last year and scarlett was a massive help. 2 of the pups had some trouble feeding from mum and were slightly underweight and needed pretty much constant supervision. Me and my husband work shifts and when neither of us could be home Scarlett would come over and look after Lacey and her babies until we got back. She grew very attached to them all and really took care of both mum and babies. All 5 puppies grew up to be strong and healthy. Scarlett was a huge help thank you so much!”
18. Aaliyah M.
About: I work full time as a dog walker in London, I have experience training and walking dogs of different breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages. I am a very reliable and enthusiastic person; my love for dogs grew after owning my first dog, Bruno. I regularly attend training classes with him, both online and in person to further expand my knowledge of dog behaviour and the wide variety of positive training methods. This has taught me that every dog is different and requires different handling. Highlighting the importance of playing, training and building a bond with the dog in front of you. I take pride in my dog walks and ensure that every dog is happy, calm and trained in all environments, here are a few examples of what I implement on my walks: - How to improve recall - Different games to work on engagement - Adding structure to walks such as loose lead walking, sit/ down stays to encourage calm behaviour -scatter feeding with treats to lower excitement levels Weekends: I am available all day for boarding, drop ins and walks. Weekdays: I am available after 4pm for boarding, walks and drop ins. (Please message if you have any questions or requests) I have a fenced garden and a friendly medium sized dog to keep your dog’s company. I treat all dog’s as if they were my own and will regularly send pictures and video updates during their stay/ walk. We have 2 crates around the house if you would prefer them to be crated overnight for example. I enjoy exploring local parks and forests and have long lines if you are not 100% confident in their recall, a range of enrichment toys (such as snuffle mats. puzzle feeders, Kongs etc).
