“Charlotte looked after our dachshund for 10 days and was absolutely brilliant. She gave regular updates and sent photos so we could see how happy and relaxed he was. When we returned from our holiday, the house was as we left it. I would definitely recommend Charlotte and will book her again. Our dog sat at the door for half an hour after she left waiting for her to come back!”
“Marisa took amazing care of our old boy, Lucky (our black cat) over Christmas, and we couldn’t be happier. She sent lots of photos of him looking super relaxed and happy, which really reassured us while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he was well fed, comfortable, and totally chilled. She was very communicative, asked all the right questions, and was incredibly friendly and warm throughout. Our flat was also left in perfect condition—spotless and well looked after. We would definitely recommend Marisa and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you Marisa!”
“Kerry was brilliant, taking a late booking, arriving on good time and providing loads of updates while looking after Bramble. She's very experienced with animals and really knew how to ensure our pup was looked after. Thank you again!”
“I can't recommend Lana highly enough. She stepped in at very short notice to look after my dog for the weekend and was fantastic. She gave us regular updates and provided pics and video of him having cuddles and out on walks. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. She was also kind enough to feed and check on our two cats. I would not hesitate to book with her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Will was a wonderful sitter for Aries. Great communications and updates, and super attentive to making sure he knew everything needed to take the best care of her for the weekend. Also kept the house very clean and tidy.”
“Cat was great with Lola and Richie! She sent loads of photos throughout her stay and I can tell that my dogs had the best time with her! Will definitely book again!”
“Kyra is a warm, friendly sitter who connected with Cosmo almost immediately and made him feel happy and safe! We have now used Kyra for house sitting twice, and both times we have come home to find Cosmo relaxed and content. Thank you!”
“Bonnie was an amazing pet sitter! We felt really comfortable leaving the house and four pets in her hands. She is calm and knowledgeable and clearly loves animals which is the most important bit! We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after our furries again.”
“My dog had the best time with Isobel. I can’t wait for something to come into my diary so I can book her again! She could not be more lovely and was great at sending me updates and photos.”
“Eleanor was so lovely and patient with my reactive rescue dog, Lenny. She is a really calm and reassuring presence, and she kept me updated through the day. Eleanor is really knowledgable about dogs and their well-being, and she is a confident and experienced handler. We’ll definitely rebook with her, I think Lenny also really enjoyed his day and all the sofa cuddles!”
“Charlotte looked after Lily for us in our home and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We felt really comfortable with her straight away, and she kept us updated throughout which gave us real peace of mind. Lily was clearly very well looked after – we’ll definitely be booking with Charlotte again!”
“Naiomi has been great with looking after Ziggy! She has provided regular updates throughout the day with lots of photos and it’s clear Ziggy is happy and content, would highly recommend”
“Naomi looked after our sensitive whippet Ernest for the day. She was absolutely fantastic with him, and he calmed straight away. I also received lots of lovely pictures and videos throughout the day - and he was very happy indeed!! Couldn’t recommend Naomi enough, and will definitely be requesting more day care in the future! Thanks so much 🐾”
“Amber is wonderful! Always makes us feel completely at ease and she takes our lively GSP in her stride. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amber to anyone. Thank you, we look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Rozzy was great - helped us out last minute, was easily able to follow the instructions we gave and was very attentive with George. Rozzy’s communication was excellent providing regular updates and just generally showed great concern for George’s wellbeing.”
“I can't thank Diya enough for the way she looked after Pops. She spent a lot of time beforehand going through Pops' needs and also gave me regular updates while she was with him, including photos which I really appreciated. Diya was so conscientious when it came to looking after Pops and giving him the best care and I would love to have her look after him again as it is clear that she really cares about animals. Thanks so much Diya x”
About: Hi, I’m Gautami. I’ve had a pet dog for four years, but I’ve had to move for education. So I started taking care of my friends’ dogs and have always gotten along very well with them in the first go. I’m currently on a self-study period and have flexible hours. I’m available for long and short walks, at most times of the day. I live the outdoors and enjoy playing with dogs and pampering them. I’m excited to have the opportunity to make new furry friends! I'm available throughout the day. I go on regular jogs and live in a dog friendly neighbourhood, so taking your dog on a walk will be very convenient for me. I will only take dogs on walks in friendly neighbourhoods and gardens which I already have been to. I will ensure that the dog is comfortable in the location as well.

I can't recommend Lana highly enough. She stepped in at very short notice to look after my dog for the weekend and was fantastic. She gave us regular updates and provided pics and video of him having cuddles and out on walks. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. She was also kind enough to feed and check on our two cats. I would not hesitate to book with her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Scarlett stayed with Katie and Osbert again, this time for a week and came home happy and relaxed. We’re so grateful for their kindness and care in making her stay comfortable. She loved walking with Tong Tong and the other dogs, and we felt completely confident in Katie and Osbert’s understanding of dog dynamics ensuring they can thrive, be safe and settled. We’d very happily book again.
Emer did a fantastic job of looking after our lab collie cross Lily. She came to meet her and see our house in advance, and instantly bonded with Lily. She took her on some nice walks and kept us updated with pictures. I'd happily use Emer for dog sitting and walking again!
Olivia was brilliant. She was everything a sitter should be - on time, very tidy, wonderful with the dogs, and completely responsible and communicative. She listens patiently, reads the instructions properly, and is a lovely person to have looking after the dogs and the house. We recommend her without hesitation.
Jack and Amy took great care of our Jasper while we were away. He had a really nice day staying at theirs and loved his walks and all the attention he received. We were given regular updates and pictures throughout. All communication was very easy and helped to make everything smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend 😊
Naomi was great looking after Oscar for the day, he was instantly very comfortable with her and I felt happy leaving him knowing he was in safe hands. She was very quick to respond to messages and sent me cute photo updates. Thank you Naomi! We will definitely be booking you again.
