Dog Sitting Beckenham

“Jessica was absolutely fab! Great at communicating while I was away for the weekend. The girls liked her a lot and I came home to 2 very happy cats :) I felt totally at ease leaving Smudge & Fudge in Jessica’s care and look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“Jonathan was a great sitter for Rosie - very prompt communication and really friendly. On the day he kept us updated and sent photos to show Rosie was doing ok. Will definitely use again. Thanks!”

About: I have been animal mad since I was 5. My career as a pet sitter and dog walker started with begging owners in the park to hold their dog’s lead as a child! As I reached 10 I signed up for ‘borrow my doggy’ with my dad and cared for a lovely lab for 2 years. I was then lucky enough to get my own dog, Ollie, when I was 12, giving me the sole responsibility of puppy training, house training and care. Ollie is a shy boy and has taught me a lot about the extra sensitivity required around nervous animals. Ollie is now a senior dog so our adventures have turned into more gentle walks and massages to avoid stiffness. I have also pet snd babysit for friends and family over the years on a paid basis. I currently pet sit for a family with one dog and one cat. I typically walk the dog, feed both pets and then snuggle up on the sofa and the pets up on whatever reality tv or crime documentary is currently playing. I am different from other sitters because I simply miss animal company in Oxford and yearn for some pet company (being paid is just a bonus!). As a recent graduate, my day is completely self structured. This means I am able to plan my day around pet care and I welcome all the happy walks and cuddles! When caring for your pet in your home I am keen to communicate with you to understand your safety rules to ensure I stick to your boundaries. I typically refrain from letting dogs off leash on walks until a trusting relationship has been built. I also will only give treats/ food that you have authorised to avoid dietary issues.

About: I have a diploma in animal management, which did a module on first aid, which means I am able to administer medications and spot the signs of ill health. I’ve done voluntary work at dog groomers and enjoy spending time around dogs. I currently have 11 pets of my own, but I am free at any time to look after your pets as I don’t currently work. Taking care of animals is one of my favorite things to do. I health check animals every time I meet them to make sure that they are happy and healthy. ensuring the health of your pet is my priority.

“Ellie has been very helpful visiting our Greyhound...Reliable, kind, good communication 🙂.”

About: I have owned two cats most of my life and looked after pets (including dogs) of friends and family for many years. I aim to ensure that pets get the care they need and deserve, whether by house sitting or walking and aim to place the pet's happiness as a main priority. I am very comfortable around most types of dogs, cats and other pets and will strive to provide the best service for the animals. I am also happy to discuss different prices with the owner to ensure their pets are cared for in the best way (although these can be affected by travelling distance and therefore possible travel costs ) and the owner is confident and comfortable with my caring of their pet.

About: Expert at looking after diva dogs having looked after a Shitzu for 11 years and her diva bestie, a Cocker Spaniel. Based in Penge, my local parks are Crystal Palace (5 min walk away) and Beckenham Place Park (5 min drive). My typical weekend is walking the dogs on Sat and Sunday morning, hang out with the dogs if I have them in the afternoon in my garden or in my lounge. Me and my friends dogs are all divas so they love chilling the fur blanket on my sofa. I also have a spare dog bed and space for your dogs bed. Love being around dogs and showering them with attention and low fat treats 😅 I am a responsible 30 year old who lives alone, ground floor flat, no kids, clean and tidy smoke free home. I have a car so can do pick up / drop off if within 30-40 min distance from Penge. I understand a dog may be more comfortable alone and not with other dogs, please let me know if they’d prefer to be alone or would like doggie company. My parents and I alternate weekends with looking after our family Shitzu, so not an issue. Am offering fri-sun as I work in the office in the week, but if you’d like a Thursday or Monday to take a longer weekend just let me know and I can take a wfh day. As I work mon-Thurs, I will be available for dog sitting (at my house or yours if preferred) Friday - Sunday. If you require an additional day - a Thursday or Monday for example to make it a longer weekend, please message me as I can make an exception and use a wfh day. My typical routine is to go for a walk Friday lunch, sat and sun morning in one of the local parks - typically with a friend with dogs too to form a little pack. Crystal palace and Beckenham place park are my local parks. If I’m looking after your dog I’ll plan my weekend around them so we can stay home. I have an anxious doggie in my family who is a fan of peace and quiet, with playful spurts (I have lots of dog toys) but her main hobbie is lying on a comfy sofa and occasionally getting massages as part of her princess treatment 🤣 so can provide this same tranquil environment and princess treatment for your princess / prince. I have a fenced garden. I have two front doors for security / safety, to stop the dogs rushing out when door is opened (if you’ve got a sprinter / defender / postman hater). I don’t have a crate to provide this security because my Shitzu hated hers with a passion as a puppy. But plan to be with the dogs all weekend and won’t leave them home alone. Used to having an anxious dog that doesn’t like to be left alone so I can take your dog everywhere with me / we’ll chill at home. Can also send lots of pictures and videos to you for your peace of mind when you’re away - I know I appreciate this!

“Arianne is such a nice person. Friendly, kind and caring. She took care very well of my cat Grizzly and gave me some news eveytime. Thank you again ☺️”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent my whole life living with and walking them, often caring for multiple dogs at once. I currently have a rescue Kai Ken who can be a little nervous, so I’ve become very experienced in understanding her needs and managing her behaviour around other dogs. My girlfriend also has a nervous rescue, and over the years I’ve built a wonderful relationship with them through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. As well as caring for my own dogs, I’ve become the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and friends of friends, looking after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m happy travelling across London to collect and drop off dogs, making things as convenient as possible for their owners. Outside of dog care, I’m a trained dancer and work part-time at a music venue. Dance is my biggest passion, but I also love music and enjoy playing the guitar in my spare time. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I hope to meet you and your dog soon. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks and pet care throughout most weekdays. As I mainly work evenings, my days are generally free, apart from the occasional gym session or coffee catch-up with a friend. This means I can offer reliable daytime walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, whether you need regular weekly care or last-minute help. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Every dog is different, and I believe the best care comes from taking the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’ve looked after a wide variety of dogs, from large breeds to small, energetic puppies to calm seniors, and dogs that are confident and outgoing as well as those that are nervous or reactive. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting my approach to suit each dog. I always respect the training methods, routines, and boundaries set by owners, ensuring consistency so your dog feels safe and comfortable while in my care. Whether that’s avoiding certain triggers, reinforcing training, or following a specific walking routine, I’ll always put your dog’s wellbeing first and treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own.
