“This is the first time I have left my dog at home with a sitter, he is 14 years old & a bit grumpy. Zanthi was great with him, and he was absolutely fine with her from the word go. Zanthi came to meet us before she came to sit & made friends with my dog. I went away happy that my dog was being cared for by her. She sent me regular updates & photos, and when I returned, the house was spotless. I would absolutely recommend Zanthi as a sitter, and will definitely be booking her again.”



“Lovely guy, very calm & pleasant. Met Tim prior to him staying which we really liked. Truffle seemed to take well to him too. Left the house nice & clean & didn’t feel we worried at all during our weekend away. Thank you Tim :)”


“Ines was punctual, calm, and cool. She has a presence that is grounding for animals and humans alike - Nuka was quickly at ease and physically comfortable with her. They walked, played, and I got lovely pictures of Nuka fast asleep on the couch. Highly recommended.”

“Chelsea looked after my 5 month old Doberman Rocco whilst i was away for a few days! Being a large, strong puppy, I was nervous about finding someone who could handle him. Chelsea was absolutely amazing with him. She was patient, loving and knew how to handle his energetic outbursts & wasn’t afraid to give him a time out if needed. Chelsea sent me regular updates and pictures. I returned home to a happy, healthy pup! Would definitely recommend! Thank you Chelsea! ?”

“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.

“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.”
