About: I've looked after my own family dogs for the past 12 years, so I know how much love, patience and care they need to feel safe and happy. I've also volunteered at dog shelters in different countries, working with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments and energy levels. Whether it's playtime, a calm walk or just company while you're away, your dog will be in good hands :) I have just returned from a backpacking trip and not currently at work - I am able to walk/board your dog at any time currently. When caring for pets in your home, I always keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times and any other instructions closely. Looking after my own dogs, I understand the importance of keeping routines in a dogs life. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own, and I want you to feel totally at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy and cared for whilst you are away.

“Gertie had a magical time with Sera - what a joy to find her. Thank you, Sera, so much for looking after Gertie; we really appreciated all your help. Gertie was super chilled and happy and clearly had formed a really good bond. I can't recommend Sera highly enough!”


“Georgina is a completely amazing dog sitter and I was so happy and relaxed while out of the country knowing my Luna was in such good hands! Luna is a rescue dog with a few special needs but after the meet and greet I was totally confident that she was with someone who gets (and, most importantly, loves!) dogs like her. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you so much!!!”

About: I have lots of experience of looking after dogs, feeding them giving them medicine and taking them for walks. I have lots of experience looking after cats including one with diabetes. I can carry out blood tests and insulin injections as well as giving pills and worming treatments. I have had sole care of a Labrador collie cross and a Labrador for several weeks. I was able to settle the Collie during the night for the first few days when she was quite distressed and unsettled by the owner’s departure. I also intervened in a few altercations with other dogs. I grew up with cats and dogs and regularly looked after them alone when my parents were out or away. I have spent 3 weeks volunteering on a farm where I looked after 3 dogs and 5 cats as well as 8 horses, including a new born foal 10 goats, 10 chickens and a cow while the owner was away. As well as feeding all the animals and clearing up the horses excrement, This involved milking some very unwilling goats whilst stopping the other goats from eating the food, keeping the greedy cats away from the goats milk, bringing back the goats when they escaped in to a neighbours field and moving the horses when they’d got in to the wrong field. I have experience of looking after a variety of different breeds: Cavapoo Yorkshire terrier Chihuahua Mexican hairless Golden doodle Cockerpoo Yorkshire terrier Chihuahua Mexican hairless Golden doodle Dachsund Unfortunately I am not actually able to cover the whole radius shown on my profile but as I'm able to cover London if for a stay of at least 2 nights or more depending on which parts of London and may sometimes be available to cover Bristol I had to set my radius to cover London even though I will be unable to travel to all the areas in the radius especially ones not in the direction of London depending on how far they are, what public transport is available and what service is needed but I can cover requests close to home. Requests within 9 miles to where there is no public transport, I am usually happy to cycle to for housesits whereas is a little shorter for day care and shorter still for drop in visits and walks. I have a fenced garden so it is safe for dogs, they will not be able to escape, there have been dogs staying at the house before so I'm confident that the garden is dog proof.

“Ben is a lovely caring young man who we would highly recommend. Ben looked after Hutch, our cat who recently adopted us following the death of his owner. He was so caring towards him and very reassuring to us. Ben was very respectful of our home, he sent us regular updates and photos. We couldn’t have wished for a better house sitter and will definitely rebook him.”


“Ellena came to our rescue after a last minute cancellation and we’re so glad she did. Audrey took to her immediately and they had a lovely weekend together. Ellena is a lovely and clearly loves dogs. She left our house clean and tidy as well 🙂 we will definitely use her again and highly recommend.”


“Came home to see three very happy dogs after leaving them with Georgia for two weeks, Georgia sent regular updates while I was away with photos of my dogs being walked. She even managed to get Rusty (my very nervous rescue) to go out with her and that is a first. Came home to a clean house. My neighbours have also fed back to me that they regularly saw Georgia out with the dogs and she appeared to be very good with them. I would definitely recommend Georgia for dog sitting and would 100% use her services again, my dogs obviously happy with her 🤗”


“Kylie is very kind, friendly and just wonderful! She took very good care of our two kittens and our home. We recieved an update from her every day and a picture of the kittens. It was very reassuring as this was the first time we've been away from our kittens. 10/10 would book again :)”

“Mandakini has just looked after our two dogs and cat over the weekend. Communication was fantastic and she sent videos throughout the weekend. It’s lovely to have our pets looked after at home.”


“Natalie was fantastic. This was our first time using Rover and we are really happy with how it went. Our dog is a little character and this didn't phase her at all. She communicated really well before, during and after her stay. The house was also cleaner when we came back than before we left :) - we hope to have her back again another time.”


“Can’t thank Kimberly enough! It’s first time I’ve left my dogs in boarding. Kimberly knew I was struggling a little and not only reassured me but also did a wonderful job of keeping me updated with their adventures during their stay. Highly recommend”


About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 2 month old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs—mostly those of family and close friends—building trust and deep bonds along the way. I’ve loved animals since I was very young, and nothing makes me happier than seeing them joyful and well cared for! I’m always free on the weekends and Mondays I have a dog so very active life! Hope I can help you with your best friend! Fenced yard, and they will never be left alone for long periods! My dog has a lot of energy so yours will be very happy!

About: Ever since I was born I have lived and grown up with dogs in the house. I’ve also been in a house whilst a family member of mine had his own dog boarding business ( having 13 dogs in our house during doggy day care! ) So I am no stranger to being around animals. I currently live with my family here in Warwick with our two huskies Rey and Suki. I also often visit my auntie and her little Floof Diddy! I am travelling in March 2025 so looking to take on some pet sitting and care to earn some extra money with the benefit of great company🥰 I am happy to follow any rules or restrictions you have in your home whether that’s crate training, no pets on furniture or in certain rooms, no human food etc. If allowed your pet is more than welcome to share the bed if they are cuddlers at night:)
