“Dalo has been so helpful and really has taken the time to provide me and my dog an excellent service. He’s taken very good care of Papi and is super responsive, diligent, and offers updates for every walk he goes on. Thanks, Dalo!”
“Maximilian is an absolutely wonderful dog walker! My dog, Leo, adores him and gets so excited every time he arrives for their walks. Maximilian is always punctual and makes sure Leo gets his full hour out and about—never cutting the time short. I love that he shares photos through the app and always provides thoughtful updates after each walk. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Leo is in such caring and reliable hands. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“I highly recommend Larissa. They followed all instructions and routines flawlessly, and were incredibly accommodating when my phone connection was limited while I was away on holiday. I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands! Most importantly my dog Minnie was extremely happy with Larissa and enjoyed her time together with her.”

About: I’ve been around and adored both cats and dogs from my childhood. I’ve never understood the great divide between cat and dog lovers…why can’t I be both?! I’m a remote freelance designer so have a very flexible schedule that can shift around the needs of your pet. I don’t have pets or family of my own, so your furry friend can be my priority! Without the need to go into an office during the day, I have the ability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own environment.
About: Hi! I’m originally from Australia and have had dogs my entire life, growing up with both Boxers and Border Collies. I’ve been living in England for the last three years and really miss having a dog around. Friends and family have often relied on me to look after their pets, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved. I’m a teacher with a flexible schedule outside of school hours and during holidays, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, drop-ins, or simply keeping your dog company, I’ll work around their usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I have a secure fenced garden and always prioritise your dog’s safety and comfort. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication and crate training if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well looked after. 🐾
About: Hello! My name is Hope, I’m 31 years old, I’m a Youth Worker, and I adore pets. My first cat, TJ, was a rescue. We had him from the age of 16 and he lived to the age of 23. He passed away a few years ago, but I believe he lived a long and happy life because we gave him the love and care he needed. When he was 16, we were told he had only had 6months to live, but he continued to live an extra 6-7 years. I miss him everyday. TJ was on medication for his heart and kidneys, and he was on specialised food. If your cat needs specialised food and/or medication, I am more than happy to provide your cat the care they require. I now have another cat, Ivy. She is 4 years old, and we rescued her from Bahrain. She is a calico, and an absolute drama queen. She is funny, sassy, vocal, ‘spicy’ yet sweet. If you have a calico, I’m sure you know what I mean! I also care for my neighbours cats, including a Bengal. He also has specific requirements (for example, extra playtime to keep him stimulated). I have always been an animal lover. Prior to having cats, I used to own dogs, fish, and rabbits. I also care for my neighbours guinea pigs and dogs when they are away. I regularly care for 4 dogs in my apartment building. This includes regular walks and sleep-overs. If you pick me as your pet-sitter, I will not only provide the basics, but I’ll spend lots of time with them to ensure they are happy and not lonely. You will receive plenty of updates via WhatsApp, including pictures and videos.
“Drew was great with our anxious dog! Professional and puctual, the communication beforehand was great and put my mind at ease as it was the first time booking a sitter. Definitely recommend!”
About: I am an enthusiastic dog lover and have had great experiences looking after dogs within my extended family and would love to be able to do that around the local neighbourhood. I have regularly looked after family dogs, taking them for walks, feeding, playing with them and keeping them company whilst their owners are out. I live with my partner who is also a dog lover and dog owner of 7+ years, who regularly helps out. I am an active person and and go for daily walks/runs. If you entrust your dog to me, I am certain they will have fun, be safe and receive a lot of love. I am very close to a parks and work from home most days, with free evenings and weekends. If you have any specific/extra requirement I am very flexible and will be more than happy to do what I can. At weekends I am free most of the day. I would usually be around the house doing chores and exercising and will have plenty of time to feed, play, walk your dog. During the week I work from home most days, with occasional days where I cannot be at home. This is indicated in my availability. When I am working at home I can keep an eye on your pet throughout the day and can do walks, play and have food/water prepared/topped up during the mornings (7:30-9:00), lunch (12:00-13:00) and after work (after 17:30). I have a large sitting/dinning area with plenty of floor space for pets. I live on the second floor so don't have a garden, but do have lots of parks nearby. I try to create a cosy, welcoming environment with comfortable areas and whether it's games, toys, or simple relaxation, I ensure that they are engaged and happy throughout the day. I am more than happy to give regular updates on pets' activities and well-being.
“Emma is always very reliable and has cared for my cat Max on several occasions. She always sends a nice update of the catsit. Emma goes the extra mile to help out and I would recommend her to all cat owners out there who need a friendly caring cat sitter”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Starting with my family pets and gradually helping friends and neighbours over the years. I enjoy every part of making sure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy. I love the outdoors and long walks. I have experience with pets of all ages, from young puppies to older dogs who require a gentle approach. I have always worked hybrid with 1-2 days in the office so looking to fill my working from home days with company, either by walks or doggie day care! My sales meetings are fit around my preference so really can make your little one my focus for the day I live in a doggie friendly building with pet spa and enclosed garden area. My flat is also near several parks which makes dog walks nice and easy!
About: I’ve owned dogs for almost my entire life. I’ve had small dogs and big dogs. Unfortunately my beautiful Bernese mountain dog passed away early October, so currently I don’t own a pet of my own. I have experience working in a day care centre for dogs. My duties involved picking the beautiful pets up from their homes and driving them to the day care centre where I would play with them in the garden with toys and interact with them using multiple mind games, taking them for walks, using discipline only when needed, feeding and grooming them. You can always guarantee your dog will be in good company with me. I am currently working part time but on my days off I have all the time to spend out for walks and snuggled up on the sofa with your pup (I hope!) I live in a pet friendly flat that has 4 communal gardens. I also have a balcony where my dog loves to spend a lot of his time, watching the world go by.
About: I had a senior dog until his last days. I lived with a friends 2 yr old American Bully for about 6 months and have had him stay over occasionally. Sadly he’s now passed :( I grew up with cats. I love dog walking and being outside with nature. I have a car with seat covers so taking them around is no problem. Rates can be negotiated depending upon the service. I work from home a few days a week. I can turn this into a full week or two of pet care if needed. I have lots of spare time and a park next door to where I live for on the leash walks. I am mobile for visits or to walk dogs in their favourite places. If off the leash exercise is required for dogs I can take them to their preferred area or book a private field is a time slot is available (£10 ph). Rates can be negotiable if more than one animal/depending on requirements. I like pet owners to give me full instructions by note or message, as to how they want their pet cared for, so that I know I am doing what is required and that the pet is happy. I’m very health, safety and cleanliness conscious. I can do light cleaning such as hoovering and plant watering if you are away or need it included in the service. Your pets safety & wellbeing is my greatest concern.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years, I enjoy their company. My dog Cooper is extremely friendly to other dogs big or small. I’m patient with our furry friends & understand they have their differences. I would always treat your dog with hugs play & safety, with lots of walks I’m retired, I have plenty of time to take care of your dog, walking or playing & learning new tricks…. even older dogs, personally I love taking my dog Cooper to meet other dogs. I would be available in any emergency you may have I have a reasonable size fenced garden. I do not have an animal cage I believe in freedom of the house I have great parks for daily walks safely

Aimee was excellent with Fritz. I was a bit apprehensive to begin with as I am not used to leave Fritz with other people, however Aimee was competent and very sweet with Fritz, who instantly liked her. I received updates at the end of the walk and Aimee also adapted very well to a last minute change, which required her letting herself into our house and dropping Fritz off there. I have already booked Aimee again and I am pleased to have found her!
I highly recommend Larissa. They followed all instructions and routines flawlessly, and were incredibly accommodating when my phone connection was limited while I was away on holiday. I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands! Most importantly my dog Minnie was extremely happy with Larissa and enjoyed her time together with her.
Reyna has been walking and pet sitting my dog for 2+ years and she’s been lovely. She knows how to handle my dog’s reactivity and special needs, and he enjoys their walks. She is good at following instructions and is highly communicative and reliable so I feel at ease when I am away. Highly recommend!
Lauren is a super lovely and reliable. She often looks after my boisterous labradoodle Ernie and I have complete trust that he’ll have a safe and fun time whenever he’s with Lauren. She’s a very caring and capable dog sitter and I’d 100% recommend. Thank you Lauren!
Jonathan did a great job walking my dog, Brownie. He was attentive, friendly, and clearly comfortable handling dogs. Brownie seemed to really enjoy the time with him, and it was reassuring to know he was in good hands. Overall, a positive experience and I would recommend Jonathan as a reliable and caring dog walker.
Sarah has been amazing with Milo — warm, caring and so easy to trust. He took to her straight away and came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. It was really lovely meeting her, and we’ll definitely be in touch again. Thank you so much, Sarah — Milo loved his time with you 🐾
