1. Giorgina P.

“The minute Giorgina arrived to meet Bruce and myself on the meet and greet she made an excellent impression - Bruce was sooo pleased to meet her! As was I. Giorgina is so calm, friendly, thoughtful and confident. She kept me posted on how Bruce and her were getting on and kept a really cool head when he threw up. I highly recommend Giorgina and will be booking her again. Thank you so much again Giorgina!!”


2. Leanne D.

“Kane and Leanne are absolutely wonderful and I am so glad they were available to watch my precious velcro Cavalier Gypsy for a long weekend. From the first meet and greet you can tell your pet's going to be in such good hands from their calm and friendly energy. Gypsy took to them instantly and I was entirely comfortable leaving her in their care. We had great communication throughout, Gypsy was as happy as can be, and they took better care of my house than I do! 10/10 would recommend, and hopefully will see again in the future.”


3. Yasmina A.

“Yasmina looked after our 2 Golden Retrievers Heidi & Henry for the afternoon and evening. She made our doggies very happy and looked after their every need in a such a caring and professional way. I would recommend Yasmina to anyone such a lovely person and would not hesitate to book Yasmina again to look after our 2 doggies”

5. David G.

“Pleased with how David looked after my fur babies and ensured they were cared for as per the instructions given, as one of them has back issues. David always gives regular updates with pictures which is lovely. He was also very respectful of the house. I will definitely be using David again and can highly recommend him.”

About: We have taken care of dogs wver since we were kids. We've trained and taken care a variety of dogs of different breeds growing up. You will struggle to find anyone who loves dogs more than us. We have Monday to Friday jobs but we both work at hone 3-4 days a week so we can fit dog care into our daily routine very comfortably. Although we live in a flat there is plenty of room for dogs to play. We can take dogs down for regular walks and toilet breaks. Lots of toys and fun for the dogs.

About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. A life without dogs is lifeless, A life without dogs is lifelesssss A life without dogs is lifelessssssss I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.

12. Laura H.
About: Hi everyone, if you don’t know me I’m Laura. I’ve had the joy of looking after Dogs for friends and family over the past 10 years. Animals are a true passion of mine, therefore I decided to take things a step further and make it a permanent lifestyle. Combining my love of animals with work. I’ve always had dogs myself but after loosing my last fur baby I decided that looking after other people’s furry pets would give me the best of both worlds. I’ve been very lucky to have many dogs over the years, with a mix of breeds from small to large. One in particular came with behavioural & health issues due to being a rescue, therefore handling dogs with all dispositions would be my forte. Public Liability insurance held. Please message with any questions you may have or to book in. My services I am offering include…. - Dog walking including single walks, multi pet household walks & groups walks up to 3 already socialised dogs. - Pet sitting - I’m happy to pet sit for all animals requiring walks, feeds & attention. (I am able to homestay for holidays but will have limited availability) - pet drop ins - daily feeds, companion time & medication administration Thank you Laura 🐾 I currently have my own beauty business which I plan to work along side this new venture! Weekly hours, days & times could change unless I’m aware in advance. Happy to work around each other. In your home I will happy abide by your house rules & will do what is asked of me as long as I deem this safe for your furry baby! If there’s any medication required or other services need whilst I’m with your pet I’m sure this can be figured out between us with full instruction.


13. Kerry G.
About: I have taken care of an array of animals for many years be them my own, family and friends. I have in fact had cats, dogs and rabbits all of which I would call family and strived to give the best lives possible. I am comfortable discussing any specific requests that you may need and to fulfil them to the best of my ability as I know it can be a worry leaving your precious animal with another. I am currently on maternity leave so can be available at relatively short notice throughout all the days through the week. This is subject to change in January 2025. My son and I love taking long walks so would love a furry companion to join us or to visit and give your pet that TLC whilst you are gone. I do have two cats who are indoors though this will be no issue as I am unfortunately not able to offer an at home service purely not to cause them any distress. Regarding caring for your pets whilst out or at home drop in service I will take the upmost care regarding the needs of your pet and respect your home as I would respect mine. I am very good at following a good list so any nervous pet mums/dads need not worry.

“Becca has looked after my boy Ziggy many times and I have always been happy with how he's been looked after. My dog always comes back happy so I have no complaints and would always be willing to use her services again in the future.”


15. Andrea E.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I’ve been looking after my friends and family friends dogs for the past 2 years whilst they go on holidays or weekends away. I’m currently working full time but I work from home 2 days a week. I usually go in the office Monday - Wednesday but my days in the office are flexible besides Mondays. Due to the hybrid working it would be nice to have a bit of company. I am free from Tuesdays - Sundays. All day. The flat I stay in is allowed pets and there’s lots of green grass area outside of my flat to take them outside on walks.


16. Ruby V.
About: I have recently moved out of my family home and I am desperately missing having a dog around the home! I have recently moved to Brentwood with my partner from my family home, where I have cared for my family dog for over 15 years. My family dog, Odie, is nearing 16 this year! So I am used to caring for a senior (blind and slightly deaf!) dog. I have also cared for friends and family’s small - medium-sized dogs in the past, including me staying at their home and their pets coming to stay with me in my home for longer periods of time (up to 2 weeks). Ages range from puppies to 9 years old. I work from home 3/5 days of the working week, with a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule, and I usually spend my weekends at home with my partner. Because of all of this, I am ready to start caring for your fur babies when I am home in the week, and with my dog-loving partner on weekends! As I work from home, I am able to pet sit from your home, but my preference would be to have your pet come to spend the day or stay at my home. I am more than happy to have your pet come and stay with me for longer periods of time, however I do work in London on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to my flexible schedule, I am also available for dog walks or drop-ins for your pets throughout the day in the week or on Saturdays if you’re in the Brentwood area. I drive and I am happy to have your pets in the car strapped in with a bed or blanket (or a cage if this is your preference and what they are used to) to do pick-ups and drop-offs when required. I live in a bungalow with plenty of space, and although we don’t have our own garden as such, we do have a lovely green area across the estate we live in, so your pooch will have plenty of outside space to go for walks and toilet breaks on a lead. If we have your dog for a longer period of time, we will take them over to a local country park or field throughout their stay with us so they can get their exercise in (and us!). Preference is to remain on a long lead and to have a good recall. Please do drop me a message if you would like more details on my experience with dogs, or if you have any questions about how I can cater to fur baby to ensure they have a great time with us 😊 I work from home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and I am largely available on weekends (and will of course state otherwise if not on occasion). I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to take your dog out for regular walks and toilet breaks when necessary. I am happy for overnight stays and long stays, but please do consider that I work in London on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In my home, I have an open space kitchen and living area that I am happy for your pet to roam around as they please! I am also happy for pets to be on the sofa, bed etc. I do not have a garden, only a small fenced front garden, however I have plenty of green around the estate I live in for toilet breaks and short walks, and a few local country parks and playing fields I will take your dog to if they are staying with me for a few days. If you would require me to visit your home to care for your dog, it would be great to visit,or have a video call, beforehand so I can familiarise myself with the space and where everything is to care for your pet. I am happy to continue any crate training needs both at my home and your home.


17. Jenny D.

“Jenny looked after my two dogs (Lhasa Apsos) for a week. I have never used a dog sitter before and Jenny was very reassuring, getting to know the dogs before her stay and asking lots of questions about their likes and dislikes. Understanding their different temperaments and behaviours, especially when walking, as one dog is quite anxious. I was updated every day during my holiday with news and pictures about the dogs. I came home to two very happy dogs, a clean and tidy home and the knowledge I can now go away again without all the stress of organising care for the dogs or worrying about how they are when I am gone. I can't thank her enough.”


18. Francessca P.

“Fran was great with Bertie! He can be quite anxious when not with us but she was amazing with him. I definitely recommend Fran 10/10.”


19. Joely R.

“We are so grateful to Joely for looking after Roman. He clearly loved his time with her, and she was excellent at sending updates, photos and videos of their time together. We felt he was so well looked after; a notorious fussy-eater, he even ate all of his food! Punctual, communicative and caring, we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”


20. Josie W.
“Josie is my go to person whenever I need someone to look after my 3 year old chihuahua. He is very high energy and Josie deals with this really well by playing with him and giving him lots of nice walks. She is really patient with him when he is being demanding. She took the time to learn about what his favourite treats are and which toys he likes the most. As he has a sensitive stomach, Josie is great with dealing with his specific food requirements. There are not many people that I would feel comfortable leaving my dog with overnight, but Josie is definitely one of them. She is very trustworthy and caring.”
