About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier. I grew up around them on my grandparents’ farm. I’m now a proud owner of two cats and a dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. With years of hands-on experience, I’m confident providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. As a student, I’ve built a routine that allows me to balance my studies with doing what I love, caring for animals. I have free time during the day and on weekends, which means I can give your pets plenty of attention, play, and cuddles. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I always follow the owner’s routine to keep pets happy and comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and have company if they like cuddles or just someone nearby. I’ll also keep the space tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger, always had family dogs, and have qualifications in animal care and science. I have also volunteered at ranged charities including dogs trust and dog hydrotherapy centres in my spare time and genuinely have a passion for canine care, and enjoy spending time with dogs. I have a small toy poodle called Ruby who gets along well with other dogs. I work from home most of the week and so can regularly take dogs out for toilet breaks or fun walks whenever needed. Having flexibility allows me to focus on the dogs too, I can play with them whenever they need some attention or provide enrichment and care when they need it. I have access to a car and so can travel to fun parks too or other places quick if needed. My home and supplies are my dogs so anything is for offer: plenty of toys, treats, furniture, a bath or grooming if they need it. I have a flat but lots of green areas and parks around me which I take my own toy poodle out to many times a day. I ensure dogs that need care whilst their owner is on holiday, away for work or otherwise, are able to get the care and daily enrichment they need.
“Ainhoa was absolutely amazing! She spent plenty of quality time playing with my kittens and made sure they were happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my pets seemed extremely happy... which is every pet owner’s wish. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable.”

About: I've always loved being around pets, and I spent my teen years with my lovely do, Mya. I have been dogsitting in London since moving here 6 years ago, and love meeting all the different doggies around. I am a freelance translator, so I set my own timings most of the time, making it easy to organise a flexible schedule for the day. I am not able to host pets in my house, but I am more than happy to visit and/or stay at the pet's residence. I am a very clean a respectful person, especially in spaces that are not mine. I understand the importance for some pets to stay in their safe environment.
“Teodora was fantastic and I fully recommend her. She was professional at all times. She is a proper animal person and my cat took to her immediately. Teodora is dependable and I really appreciated her detailed updates and photos upon every visit and her communications and quick responses meant I was completely comfortable and assured with her looking after my cat and I will definitely use Teodora again in the future. Top rated and highly recommend.”

“Jing has been super helpful, super accomodating and took an excellent care of my cat. She followed the instructions and took extra steps to clean up the accidental mess made by the cat. Definitely recommend!”


“Shania did look after our cat very well. I believe she is a one of the kind/trust worthy sitter. She has been updating us with pictures videos/calls and all the related information about our cat every single day. Leaving a house key with a stranger is not easy but her service made us to think differently. I would highly recommend Shania.💕 ”


“Xin Yi is amazing! She looked after Lucifer so well, not just fed and cleaned but really spent time with him. I loved regular photo updates, some of the shots are priceless ;) i could really see my cat feeling comfortable and entertained. I felt like I can really relax on my holiday, thank you <3 I have already re-booked.”

“Kasia is a fantastic cat sitter. Sends lots of updates and pictures of our cats, giving them all the love and attention they need. Highly recommend Kasia if you are looking for an exceptional cat sitter :) ”

About: I love seeing cats happy which is a very rewarding experience. Great patience with getting them to familiarise with strangers like myself in the beginning. I'm working full-time on a hybrid basis (Mon-Fri) - twice a week at the office which is quite close with public transport. So flexible and willing to adjust times :). For the time being, I'm not hosting cats. Based on my experience from my own cat, lots of playing, brushing, cleaning litter and their food bowls regularly, keeping them close when working or cooking. However, as we know, they need their freedom to roam in the house and a pulled curtain to watch birds!
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.
“Laura was excellent, she was great in communicating with us and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for during her drop ins. She exceeded our expectations and then some. She also took initiative to learn his routines to help him with his seperation anxiety while we left him alone for thre first time at length. Would highly recommend and use again!”

I take great care of them on walks ensuring their safety and the freedom to explore the world.

I am very flexible with time as I am working through an agency so I can choose which date and time I go to work. I am willing to take dogs on a walk on short notice and am very flexible with time and communicate my availability clearly.

I respect the owner's concern about their dog's habits and what I should do to protect them which is why I have established trust with the owner and their pets.

Jane was brilliant with my cats. She looked after them really well and kept me updated with messages and photos while I was away, which was so reassuring. When I got home, my cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I'd happily book Jane again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter.
Carmel was absolutely great at looking after our two cats for 10 days. She was reliable and sent daily updates which wasn’t requested but appreciated. She even had a loaf of bread in our bread bin on arrival home which was so so sweet. She took in a parcel for me too. Thanks Carmel. We will definitely be using you again on our next trip away.
Yvonne cared for my cat Mumma when my husband and I were away for a whole week. Yvonne is very friendly and caring. We had a meet and greet beforehand and went through all the details. I could already tell that Mumma is absolutely comfortable with Yvonne. Her energy matches our cat perfectly. Yvonne was always on time and she did a great job with Mumma. She provided lots of photos and videos of each visits and was very responsive so communication was never an issue. I’m very happy with Yvonne’s service and will definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Laura was excellent, she was great in communicating with us and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for during her drop ins. She exceeded our expectations and then some. She also took initiative to learn his routines to help him with his seperation anxiety while we left him alone for thre first time at length. Would highly recommend and use again!

Did a great job looking after our moggie whilst also dealing with foxes getting into the house at the same time as we left a window open! Xin was amazing - super helpful and very understanding whilst also doing the job we originally asked of her e.g. looking after our cat, thanks Xin!

Karlee was the best choice for our two male cats, Kimbo and Meeps. It was delightful to return home to very happy and looked after cats. I received regular notes and pictures from Karlee after every visit, which was very helpful and reassuring. Even Kimbo the Maine Coon was won over by her. I recommend Karlee, and would like to rebook her in the future.

Shuk Han, was brilliant at looking after my cat Zac, he was a bit stand offish when she 1st came round, but by the end of the week, he was greeting her as soon as she visited. This was the 1st time using a cat sitter, so was a little worried having a stranger into my home, but she was great and reassuring, she gave me plenty of updates and photos, every visit, if your looking for a reliable, friendly cat sitter, please give Shuk Han a chance, she was brilliant. 😊

Harriet is such a star! My dog is very sentimental, she doesn’t like everyone to take her for walks especially particularly about letting the harness on her. I had to emergency travel so I had no choice but ask for help and pray that the person would be able to help and make a bond with Lady in such a short amount of time. I was super lucky I found Harriet, Lady loved her from the first second and seeing that I was able to focus on my family and I was able to focus on my family when they needed me. Forever grateful for her

Our pet sitter did an excellent job looking after our cat, especially during the recent extreme hot weather. She was reliable, caring, and made sure our cat stayed comfortable and well cared for despite the challenging conditions. We really appreciated the regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!

Thank you Lauren for taking care of Noodles! She communicated with us well and made sure to follow our notes. I really appreciate her updates during the visits. its our first time leaving Noodles and Lauren has been really responsive and assured us he’s doing well. Would recommend and certainly book again!
