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.
“Harley was great with our miniature labradoodle. She was super helpful, an efficient communicator, and always friendly. She gave our dog great company, walked her, fed her, and even entertained her with a good practice run through all her tricks. Harley kept us updated with photos and short videos, which was great! Would definitely recommend Harley and book her again if needed. Thanks Harley!”
“I cannot recommend Roxanne highly enough! She has looked after my dog Alby twice now and both times have been absolutely brilliant. From the moment I left him with her, it was clear she genuinely cares — she was super attentive, proactive with updates, and made sure Alby felt completely at home. He came back happy, relaxed and tail-wagging, which says it all really! It's such a relief to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. Roxanne is an absolute gem and we will 100% be booking her again. Thank you so much ❤️❤️”
About: Hello! I'm a 38-year-old lifelong pet enthusiast with hands-on experience caring for everything from brand-new puppies and senior rescues to independent felines. These days, I share my life with a wonderful Great Dane—so if you have a large breed, I'm already a pro at handling them! I truly adore pets of all shapes and sizes, though, and I'm just as happy cozying up with a purring cat as I am walking a big dog. Whether you need a reliable daily dog walker, someone to drop in for kitty cuddles and potty breaks, or a trustworthy house sitter while you travel, I’ve got you covered. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while making sure your furry best friends are safe, happy, and well cared for. Because I work night shifts, I have fantastic daytime and weekend availability to care for your pets! Monday through Thursday, I am available from midday until 8:00 PM. On Fridays and Saturdays, my schedule is completely open, so I am available all day. On Sundays, I can cover visits and walks from early in the morning up until 8:00 PM. This routine makes me a great fit for lunchtime drop-ins, afternoon walks, and dedicated weekend house sitting. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I am extremely respectful of your space, always double-checking that doors are locked, gates are closed, and the home is exactly as you left it. On walks, I am highly vigilant of our surroundings and ensure collars and harnesses are secure. As a Great Dane owner, I'm confident handling strong pullers and unexpected situations. I also believe in excellent communication, so you can always expect detailed updates and plenty of photos!
About: Hi cat lovers, my name is Jade, I work remotely in communications which means I am very flexible with my time. I have two cats myself, Magic and Arty (Moriarty, he lives up to the name) and I have over 10 years of cat care experience. I am a huge pet lover overall, but cats really top the list. I just love their personalities and the fact they don’t really care what others think about them, they just do what they want! I read a quote somewhere once that said “If you ever think you have imposter syndrome, just look at cats. No cats have imposter syndrome, they all believe they are the best cat that ever did live!” I can happily do medications, I had a cat called Puff who sadly passed away last year. He had daily heart medications for years, so I am very experienced with doing that. I’ve also looked after a couple of local kitties in the area for neighbours, including another cat recovering from a leg operation (requiring a crate) and needing pain meds twice a day.
“Alexandra has visited my home a few times and always interacted well with my dog. She has a warm and calm approach. I find her responsible and dependable and I fully recommend her, she makes a great dog-sitter.”
“Emily has looked after Chunk a few times now and he loves her! She has lots of experience and Chunk who is a nervous boy seems to relax really well with her always falling asleep next to her! The best person to look after Chunk when we are out 🥰”
“Cheryl was wonderful with our cats — she sent video and photo updates throughout, and honestly, we were a little jealous at how much our cats clearly preferred her company to ours. We came home to an immaculate house. We can absolutely recommend Cheryl as a cat sitter.”
“Beccy stepped in to help at the eleventh hour after I’d been let down by another sitter and my puppy instantly warmed to her! She’s super experienced and confident which put me at ease as I knew she’d take such good care of Stevie. I was sent photo and video updates through the day and she even driver her to new parks out of our area which was so nice for our puppy. We came home to a very relaxed and well looked after dog! Thanks Beccy! X”
“Sacha and Christina were great at communication and gave us regular updates when house and pet sitting over the 4 days. Sid was well cared for and has made some new friends that we will definitely use again.”
“Sophia was brilliant for our nervous dog, Brolly. I thought i may have put her off initially, but she took it in her stride! Sophia sent pics to let me know how he was doing and and he was perfectly relaxed with her. Great sit for us all!”
“Jinny was an amazing house and cat sitter over a weekend while I was away. She came by beforehand to meet Bonnie, pick up the keys, and make sure she had everything she needed, which was very thoughtful. While I was gone, she sent regular photo and video updates and clearly gave Bonnie plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I came home to a very happy cat and a perfectly neat and tidy house. Would highly recommend Jinny!”
“As always Ashleigh was fantastic, the clan were in good hands and I came home to three happy cats 🐈 loved the update photos and the new Polaroids to add to the collection too, a really lovely touch. Thank you from all of us 🐾”
About: I had pets almost all my life and the period I didn’t, I looked after friends dogs and cats whenever they went on holidays. I have a cockapoo, Lola, she’s the most beautiful girl in the world, but aren’t they all in our eyes? I also have two guinea pigs, Sadie and Oli, they are our actual ones, but they were many more before them. Sometimes my friend Kate, brings Pepsi, her moggie and she also stay with us. Other times is Carolyn who just got herself Monty a cross cockapoo/ jack Russell. Carolyn works at the local hospice and her schedule makes her work double shifts sometimes, so I look after Monty as well. Our place is so full of love, because they are in it. All pet owners will understand.
“Dan is always excellent - he takes great care of our dog and was more than happy to take on a friend's at late notice. We really appreciate how easy to communicate with he is, and his flexibility”
About: Experienced dog carer based in North London, currently without a dog of my own, and I like to fill my substantial free time looking after and boarding dogs. Affectionate but firm, I can provide a wide range of care including training and discipline as needed. I have a very flexible and irregular schedule, sometimes completely available 7 days and 6 nights of the week. I’m available at short notice if required. I have a large secure roof terrace and I’m located in a part of North London with many parks and green spaces in the immediate vicinity and surrounding area.

We are absolutely delighted with the care that Beccy offered to Nala. Her communication was brilliant, she made us feel relaxed from the very first message and gave us brilliant updates throughout the day. It’s obvious Beccy knows and understands animals very well, she recognised Nala’s personality immediately and offered her a calm and gentle greeting which meant it was easy for Nala to feel safe. We have a shy dog, but she warmed to Beccy in a matter of minutes. Which is a huge compliment. We really loved that Beccy was proactive in asking the questions she needed to help her look after all of Nalas needs. We felt more than comfortable having Beccy in our home, and she even made a fuss of our toddler which was lovely and so appreciated. I’m so glad we found you, we would love your help with Nala again in the future 🙌🏻
Caroline looked after our almost 13 year old golden retriever, we haven’t used a house sitter before but we had an opportunity for a short family holiday, so we decided to see if someone could take care of willow in our own home, as willow has arthritis and struggles to get to her feet without assistance sometimes, and these days just wants to sleep and relax in her own home on her bed. Caroline was not fazed by this and I could see there was already a bond. We had loads of of happy photos and videos of Willow and updates whilst away and we absolutely knew that Willow was being loved and cared for, and her medication routine was being followed which gave us peace of mind on our holiday. Caroline was able to get Willow in her car for walks to the local park by lifting her up, and using our hand-held hoist to lift her down from the car. Caroline even offered to stay a couple of extra hours as our flight home was an evening one. We are very grateful to have found her 😊🙏🏻 xx
Jessica was fantastic. She is amazing, she had a great time with my dog Lucky. They had cuddles, played, and had a lovely rest together. How do you recommend she’s amazing and will be using her again! Thank you Jessica for also taking this on short notice ❤️

While I was gone, she sent regular photo and video updates and clearly gave Bonnie plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I came home to a very happy cat and a perfectly neat and tidy house.

Cheryl was wonderful with our cats — she sent video and photo updates throughout, and honestly, we were a little jealous at how much our cats clearly preferred her company to ours. We came home to an immaculate house. We can absolutely recommend Cheryl as a cat sitter.
This is only the second time that Radhika has cat sat for my babies. She is so flexible and accommodating and even fed all the other critters that visit my garden! The cats all love her and it means I can escape every now and then feeling reassured and less guilty! She gets to know the characters of each cat and approaches them with extra care if they're a bit anxious. Thank you!
Bronwen was fantastic with Jilly as always! Jilly always takes some time to warm up, but Bronwen is patient and kind with her and eventually Jilly is happy for snuggles. Bronwen had some extra work cut out for her with Jilly's strict diet rations and medicine but she worked it all out perfectly. Jilly took to sleeping where Bronwen had been once she left, so safe to say she enjoyed her time with her as always, and missed her after she left! Always highly recommended!
Natasha was a fantastic house and cat sitter. She was really easy going and low maintenance and gave me updates on our cat who was a little more bonkers than usual because of the heat staying out most of the time, but it was reassuring to hear from Natasha that she'd popped in and out. Natasha left the house spotless. We had a relaxing holiday knowing the cat and house were in safe hands.
Eti is our go-to for cat sitting whenever we go away. We always feel we can relax knowing she is taking care of our slightly nervous rescue cat, who absolutely adores her. We have returned after 5 days to a spotless flat, garden watered and a very happy and chilled out cat!
I cannot recommend Roxanne highly enough! She has looked after my dog Alby twice now and both times have been absolutely brilliant. From the moment I left him with her, it was clear she genuinely cares — she was super attentive, proactive with updates, and made sure Alby felt completely at home. He came back happy, relaxed and tail-wagging, which says it all really! It's such a relief to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. Roxanne is an absolute gem and we will 100% be booking her again. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Katherine was absolutely fantastic with our dog Sonny. She sent photos and regular updates. They went for some fantastic walks and he was so chilled and happy when we got back. Will definitely need you again at some point Katherine! Thanks so much, my mind was totally as ease when I was away.
