Izzy did such a fantastic job of looking after our kitten Anzu - and Anzu absolutely loved her! We got photo and video updates, and Anzu has never looked as happy. Izzy is a natural with cats. She also stayed and kept our house in nice condition, and even put the bin out for us which we were grateful for. We really hope we can use Izzy again!

Emily’s communication was excellent and, as we have never used the App before, this was very reassuring. She was also flexible and understanding with timings. Cleo, our cockapoo, took to Emily immediately - even though like many cockapoos she can be a little anxious! Emily sent us an update while we were away and Cleo seemed very happy when we arrived back (although did attempt to leave with Emily - which can only be a good sign!)

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, from playful puppies to wise senior cats. I don’t just feed and walk animals—I build trust, keep routines consistent, and provide lots of love and attention while you’re away. I’m skilled in administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and noticing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate stress or health concerns. Every pet I care for gets individualized attention, daily updates, and plenty of fun, so owners can feel confident their furry family members are happy, safe, and loved. Your pet won’t just be looked after—they’ll have a new friend. I work part-time, so I’m available for pet visits during the day. I don’t offer overnight stays or boarding, and I don’t take pets to my home—but I’m always happy to come to yours to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your furry friends. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I provide loving, dependable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I’m happy to feed, walk, play, brush, and give medication if needed. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe, with plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.

Craig & Kareem were absolutely amazing - definitely the best dog sitters we have ever had! We had our dog sitter cancel on us a couple of days before we were due to go to Dublin and Craig & Kareem were our saviours as we thought we would have to cancel our trip. Our beautiful doggies Otis & Ruben absolutely loved them and both the doggies and our home were looked after to perfection - with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We have decided to now leave our regular dog sitter and to start using Craig & Kareem more often - highly recommend these two for your dogs - you will have complete trust & peace of mind!

About: Hi, I’m Kat! North London HR professional and dog lover who shares my home with Thoth, my 5-year-old Norwegian Forest cat. I have strong experience with senior dogs – particularly caring for an elderly Shih Tzu, managing his daily medication and special care needs. My experience includes: - Dogs from 6-month-old puppies to 14-year-olds - All breeds, all ages – I adapt to each dog's individual needs I work for a defence company (fully vetted) and offer some weekday/evening/weekend walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight boarding (my place or yours). Medication management, gentle routines, personalised care – I treat every dog like my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role (3 days WFH), so I have flexible availability: - WFH days: Extra time for walks/drop-ins, or I can stay at your place (with WiFi access) - Weekdays: Available after 5pm + overnights when needed - Weekends: Free Fri–Sun, all day and night In my North London home: Thoth (my curious indoor Norwegian Forest cat) stays indoors but loves watching garden visitors from the window. The garden door stays closed, but we have a secure communal garden (fully fenced, no street access) if your dog needs space to play. No other pets nearby – neighbours don’t own pets, so it’s a calm environment. Parks nearby – just a quick 10–15 min walk away for exercise and fresh air. In your home (house sitting): I follow your routines exactly – feeding, medication, walks, playtime. Secure doors/windows always checked; I treat your home like my own. Happy to water plants, bring in post, or do light housework too.

Julian has literally saved our lives. We were stuck abroad after our flight was cancelled and the dogs were already left in the house alone after the previous dog sitter left for her next sit. He was super responsive, very professional, very kind to the dogs. He did far more than I accepted and he made sure we were updated with lovely pictures. I can’t recommend him enough and I’m so very grateful for everything.

About: I grew up in a village surrounded by dogs and cats, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. I’m very comfortable caring for pets and truly enjoy their company. Although I can’t have pets in my current London home, my wife and I both love animals very much and genuinely miss having them around. I would treat your pets with the same care, attention, and kindness as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after at all times. I currently work three days per week and also take part in some voluntary work, which still leaves me with plenty of time to care for pets. I’m usually more available in the second half of the week, including weekends, for walks and pet sitting. I will make sure your pet gets lots of attention, care, and enjoyable walks in a safe and loving environment. I mainly offer dog walking and pet care in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I am happy to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. While I don’t usually host pets at our home, I may be able to care for a dog or cat for a short period if needed, as I have access to a garden. Above all, I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’m currently an in house sitter for a senior teacup chihuahua and a senior chihuahua (part time)I’m trained in administrating medication (treats or unfortunately syringing). I also look after a gorgeous rescue who’s about 5 years old and she’s a mixed breed! I’m fun, energetic, very detailed and attentive! I’m starting my masters in September but I’m available full time during the summer. After that I will be part time and will be available on weekends and a few days during the week I’m an in house sitter and I take care of a senior dog and two senior cats. I’m very attentive to all their needs. I’m very aware about Fudge's walks, food and medication schedule. He’s actually the king of the house!

I was incredibly nervous to leave my cat for 2 weeks, as she’d never been left for more than 24 hours before… Katherine was immediately reassuring and took incredible care of Florence, with frequent updates on her wellbeing. I was able to relax on holiday knowing she was being well looked after. Highly recommend Katherine.

Rosie looked after our greyhound Luna in our home for 2 nights whilst we were away. She has a calm energy, which was perfect for Luna and we could tell Luna really liked her (something not always immediate from an aloof greyhound like Luna!) Communication was great, lovely photos sent to us showing how content Luna was in her company. Felt very at ease knowing Luna was in good hands. Our home was also left spotlessly clean and tidy. Would definitely book Rosie again. Thank you!

Giorgos looked after my puppy for the whole day, and was great with her! He made sure he understood her care needs before I left, got super familiar with the flat and where all her stuff was, and even did some play and training while I was out. I came home to a very relaxed and happy puppy. 100% recommend Giorgos, and will be asking him to look after PJ again soon :)

Having my Olimpia spending Christmas with Ella is almost a tradition for us now. Ella has once again been absolutely wonderful. She took my Olimpia running every day, ensuring she was not only excercising but also giving her incredible care, attention, and an extra layer of safety that gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, she left the house truly spotless which is such a gift to return home to. Her reliability, kindness, and professionalism make her an exceptional dog sitter, and I feel very lucky to have her. Thank you so much Ella!

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Millie. From the very start, Yonnica’s communication was clear, thoughtful and reassuring, which made leaving her so much easier. Millie can be a little particular, but she was so well cared for ; happy, relaxed and clearly comfortable when we returned home. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which showed just how much care and attention Millie was getting. It was obvious she was treated with real kindness and respect, not just looked after. We would absolutely recommend Yonnica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy cat sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Millie 💛
