Nicole was a lovely dog sitter. She is very communicative, attentive and sent regular updates. She happily arranged a meet and greet before the sit just to make sure Albe and her got along. Albe loved spending time with Nicole and was clearly well looked after. I would definitely use Nicole again 😊

Brilliant experience! Ainhoa took care of my two cats who were wonderfully looked after, played with, and fed precisely as requested. I loved the frequent photos and videos. Kind, reliable, and polite—we'll definitely book again.

About: My husband and I both owned dogs back at our home country respectively, and we both missed them very dearly. We had our dogs since they were 2 weeks old, my husband is great at training puppies and I am organized in keeping the hygiene of the pets. I am a stay at home wife, which allows me to have plenty of time to keep the pets well accompanied and taken care of. It's an apartment with just my husband and I, we do not have kids around nor other pets here so the pets will not face any conflicts and have plenty of space.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and always bonded well with them. Ranging from retired Greyhounds to Cavapoos, I have a passion for looking after animals of every size. I regularly look after family and friends' pets and I started as a dog walker in March 2026 in NE London. I decided to take a break from corporate life and spend more time outside looking after our four paw friends and hopefully make it a full time job. I am a qualified first aider for dogs, completed a course in training dogs and I am currently taking courses on dog behaviour. I currently work part time as a dog walker in NE London during the week and I am looking to expand to house/dog-sitting across London and perhaps find a few more clients for regular or one off dog walks. I have a very flexible schedule and I have my own vehicle. I ask owners to provide emergency contact and vet information, description of the dog's character, diet and routine so to make sure the dog is kept as happy as possible with a regular routine whilst owners are away.

About: I’ve had 2 dogs with my family for more than 10 years and have taken care of them both. I can follow instructions easily and have experience in giving prescribed medications to dogs due to one of ours taking medication for most of his doggy life. I currently work 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home and off on weekends. I can care for your pet on the days I’m off and working from home easily. I’m comfortable with whatever the owner need and want for their pets as long as instructions are communicated. I own a car and can travel to places if needed.

Addison was absolutely wonderful with Penny and we couldn’t be happier. We did a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put us at ease - it was so clear how much she genuinely loves dogs and misses her dogs back home! She stayed in our home and took brilliant care of both Penny and the house, being incredibly professional, diligent, and respectful of our space. She followed all instructions perfectly and kept us updated with loads of lovely photos and videos, which was so reassuring while we were out. Penny was clearly happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. On top of everything, Addison is a genuinely lovely person with excellent communication throughout. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic, trustworthy dog sitter :)

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.

About: Will care for and love your dog like my own. Have grown up with dogs and cats in the family. Whilst I prepare for a dog of my own, I enjoy walking, training and playing with friends dogs and would love to get to know your dog. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so happy to have a regular canine companion on those days. I may be available on some Tuesdays but couldn’t commit to every Tuesday. I can be available on weekends, day or evening. I live in a flat on the 5th floor with a balcony. Your dog would only be allowed on the balcony under full supervision. Your dog is welcome on my sofa. There is a large park less than a 10 minute walk away. I don’t have any pets so your dog will have my full attention.

Chloe was wonderful with Milo! She was kind, reliable, and made him feel relaxed. It was such a relief to know he had great company while I was away — she kept me updated and I could tell from the photo that he was a very happy pup. Would definitely recommend her and trust her again with Milo anytime. 🐾

About: I have taken care of and had animals in my home since I was a young child. I have had the pleasure of meeting and caring for family, friends and acquaintances' pets throughout my life; being around animals will always be my comfort zone. I am currently freelancing from home so I can be very flexible with the dates and times of bookings! Plenty of time to look after the pets. The house has a large living room and ground floor, including a large fenced grass garden for dogs to play or relax. I also give dogs the option of fresh air and play at daycare bookings if the owner permits.

Addison came to look after our 2 cats and our dog in our home for the evening. She was incredibly affectionate with them all, super friendly and kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and messages! She even got our very nervous cat to come down for a cuddle and sent a gorgeous report card to summarise their stay which was a lovely touch. Addison clearly has a way with animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for some loving care for their pets! :)

Karly was a great sitter! One of those people you can just tell loves cats! Our boy is very clingy, but when we came home he barely even glanced at us, which is a sure sign that Karly gave him all the attention and love he needed while we were away (and he needs a lot!). She really went the extra mile with his care and was super helpful with things like bins and mail, asked clarifying questions about his care, sent regular updates and pictures, and left the house exactly as it was when she arrived. We also have catcams and she was very fine with them remaining on the whole time we were away, which I think really says good things about her trustworthiness. Very responsible and trustworthy, I definitely recommend her as your next catsitter!

Faith was a phenomenal sitter for us and took exceptional care of Ophelia. Prior to the booking, Faith took the time to properly understand Ophelia's needs, play style, and overall well-being. Throughout the week, she provided daily updates and even helped Ophelia develop better habits—like sitting patiently while her dinner is prepared—which is something we’ve struggled with in the past. She even taught her new tricks that we are looking forward to practicing! We absolutely loved Faith's care and attention to Ophelia's needs, as well as her understanding of our communication style while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind during our first holiday apart from her. We would absolutely recommend Faith to any pet owners seeking a knowledgeable and caring sitter who treats your pet like their own. Thank you so much, Faith; we came home to a happy, playful cat who truly enjoyed the time she spent with you.
