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.
“Ighodalo has been amazing with my dog, Leo! He’s super friendly and you can tell he really loves animals. Leo always gets so excited when he sees him, which says it all. He’s always on time, really flexible, and great at communicating. It’s such a relief knowing Leo’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and over 10 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs (all ages), including professional experience through Rover. I’ve rescued and adopted many strays, and I’m confident handling pets with all kinds of personalities, from shy or anxious animals to hyperactive, high-energy ones. I always adapt my approach to each pet’s needs, whether that means creating a calm, reassuring environment or engaging them in active play and stimulation. My priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have patience and I am good in stressful situations. My building is also 100% per friendly. We have a water and treats station for after going on walks. We have an enclosed garden where the pet can be off the leash and play. We also have a pet spa, so I offer grooming services as well (wash and dry, brushing, trimming if the pet is comfortable with that). I work from home a lot and can work from home and take breaks as and when needed, so pets will be well taken care of and receive attention. I live in a pet-friendly building that’s perfect for animals, with a fully enclosed terrace garden and an on-site pet spa for a bit of extra pampering. My flat is safe, clean, and comfortable, with no hazards for pets. There’s also a lovely park just five minutes away where I take dogs for regular walks and playtime. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure they feel relaxed, entertained, and well looked after, just like part of the family.
About: I’m a proud pet parent to two British Longhair cats—Cone, who I’ve cared for for over three years, and Puff, a playful 1-year-old cat. I also cared for stray cats long before I had my own cats. Having looked after cats at different life stages, I know how to adapt care to their unique needs, whether that’s calm companionship, grooming, or energetic playtime. I also love dogs and enjoy spending time with them whenever I can. I often interact with my neighbour’s dogs and visit dog cafés, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I understand how important exercise, stimulation, and companionship are for dogs, and I’m always happy to give them the attention they need—whether that’s a long walk, play in the park, or simply a reassuring presence. I’m calm, reliable, and patient, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your cat or dog needs cuddles, company, or a dependable sitter while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

I have plenty of time to interact with your pet. I have access to a fenced garden and a park is within 10 minutes walk. Both locations offer great outdoor spaces where your pet will enjoy and have the opportunity to play with other dogs.
