“Lauren did a great job looking after our cat. She provided daily updates and pictures, plus anything she thought might be an issue, which was really reassuring. Plus she kept the cats food area really clean and tidy, and even emptied our bins. Lauren established an instant bond with our cat and he was the most relaxed we have seen him after a holiday.”

About: As long as I can remember I've had dogs in my life, whether it's been my own or family and friends dogs. I can't imagine life without the fur babies to look after and take for walks. After 10 years of child care work I became a self employed paint and decorator, however there are the odd days/week where I'm free, so I would love to spend my time looking after dogs I have a long fenced off garden with 2 small friendly dogs that love to make friends. I also have a large crate bed if needed.
“Miss Alvie is a great carer for pets. She took care of my two dogs (my children) whilst I was away for a few weeks. I was very nervous initially as my dogs are my whole world. However Miss Alvie reassured me that they were being taken care of so well. I would regularly get updates on how they were doing and she made she to keep them in their usual routine. She loves animals and gives them the best care that they deserve. Having two dogs of her own we could relate to each other well and she understood the demands of having dogs and being a dog owner. If I ever need a place to stay for my dogs again, I will be contacting Miss Alvie straight away!”

“Andrei is a caring and gentle man that adores animals of all kinds especially cats and dogs. He will take excellent care of these animals.”
“Ellie has looked after my dogs on a number of occasions which are a French bulldog, chow chow and our chow chows 8 puppies. They was well looked after very happy and relaxed. Ellie has a massive garden which our dogs loved we also received some videos and pictures of Ellie playing with the dogs which Ellie did ask for our permission. I would always go to Ellie if we needed our dogs looked after for holidays etc.”
“I highly recommend Abhinav for looking after your pet. I have a 7-year-old Frenchie named Boni, and Abhinav has cared for him many times. Abhinav walks Boni, plays with him, and watches over him when I'm away. Boni adores him, which puts my mind at ease, knowing I don't have to worry. Abhinav accommodates all my requests for Boni and pays special attention to his needs. He treats Boni like his own dog and clearly loves animals. Finding a reliable dog sitter can be tough, but Abhinav always exceeds expectations. I can't recommend him enough—he never disappoints us and always goes the extra mile for Boni.”
“Danielle is superb! She always walks and looks after my dog and I know she’s in the best care possible! She sends regular updates and lets me know how she is getting on throughout the day! Ace service always!”
“I trust Sara to look after my cat. She was able to medicate him as he's on medication for skin issues. She also was able to bring him out from hiding as he can be quite shy around strangers. I've had her look after my boy multiple times and she's never failed me”
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! I'm working part time, Monday all day, Thursday and Friday from 8am to 2pm. Fully available Tuesday, Wednesdays and weekends. Available evenings and nights for pet sitting 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
