House Sitting Croydon

“Ighodalo was excellent with Gofio. He house sat for us for 18 days. He looked very well after Gofio and kept us up to date. From the pictures it looked like they had a lot of fun together. He was very respectful of the house and followed our instructions regarding his medication and care. We'll try to book him again when we next go away!”

“Drew was great. My dog is pretty anxious and this was his first time staying with someone who wasn't family, and he absolutely loved Drew. Had a great time, lots of walks and Drew was very good at sending updates and pictures. My dog has dog reactivity and Drew managed it very well, and even helped him make some new doggy friends. Would absolutely recommend Drew.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have my 10 year old Maltese boy, Tucker. I’m not in a position to get a second dog, but would love to help others all whilst Tucker makes some new friends! I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday, so your doggo would have access to me 24/7. I have my own dog, Tucker, a pure-bred Maltese, who would love to make some friends along the way! I live in a one-bedroom flat, and have easy access to outdoor space. Similarly, I can walk ten minutes to reach my local park, so walkies are easy :)

“Justina was amazing with our two year old Dachshund! She took him for walks, played his favourite games, and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Justina gave us regular photo and message updates, which gave us total peace of mind that he was happy and looked after. Our pup came home happy, tired, and well cared for. Highly recommend and will book again!”

“Alexandru was a star housesitter. He looked after our very old dog during the heatwave which must have been really challenging. The house was spotless and I will definitely book him again, if he will have us.”

About: Hi! I’m Savannah, a young working professional in the dairy industry and, more importantly, a lifelong animal lover. ❤️ Growing up in South Africa, I was surrounded by nature and animals, and our home was always full of different pets, from dogs and cats to birds, hamsters and fish. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, my family and I have also rescued injured birds, cats and dogs, cared for them while they recovered, and helped find them loving new homes once they were healthy again. These experiences have taught me how important it is to be patient, gentle and attentive to every animal’s individual needs. I currently have two beautiful dogs back home in South Africa who I absolutely adore and miss terribly. Since living in the UK, I’ve also lived with friends who have had both dogs and cats. Even though we no longer live together, I’m still the person they call when they go away because they know their pets are in safe, loving and trusted hands. I’m offering my pet-sitting and dog-walking services primarily because I genuinely miss having animals around me. This isn’t something I’m doing simply as a way to make extra money, it’s something I’d love to do out of love, compassion and my genuine enjoyment of being around animals. Caring for other people’s pets gives me the opportunity to have that connection with animals again while giving owners complete peace of mind. When I look after an animal, I want to know everything that makes them them. I always make sure I understand their routine, dietary requirements, any health conditions or medication, which vet they’re registered with, how they are around other animals, whether they’re comfortable off lead, what their recall is like, their favourite toy and, most importantly, their favourite spot for a good scratch! 🐶🐱 I also keep owners updated while they’re away. I’ll happily send regular messages, photos and videos so you can see how your furry baby is doing and know they’re happy, settled and being well cared for. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some company during the day, a drop-in visit, or someone to care for them while you’re away, I’d love to help. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved and cared for, while giving you the reassurance that your precious fur baby is in good hands. Your pets are part of your family, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of mine. 🐾❤️ I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, and I’m very flexible at weekends, which means I can give your pet plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day. My home is pet-friendly and set up to make your pet feel comfortable. I have a secure, fenced patio on the first floor, with direct access from my home. For dogs, there is a dedicated piece of artificial turf on the patio to encourage them to use the space when needed. This is thoroughly cleaned between pets. I’m also surrounded by lovely parks and walking spots, so dogs staying with me can enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise and enrichment, depending on their usual routine and needs. For indoor cats, I have secure windows that can be latched safely, with accessible windowsills where they can relax, watch the world go by and enjoy the view. 🐱 In the evenings, I’m happy to spend time playing, giving cuddles and attention, or simply creating a calm and relaxing environment where your pet can settle down and feel at home. I’m very happy to work around your pet’s normal routine wherever possible, I know that keeping things familiar can make all the difference when they’re away from home. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. Before their stay or visit, I like to understand their normal routine, personality, dietary requirements, health needs, behaviour around other animals and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and secure. In my own home, I provide a calm and welcoming environment where pets can settle in at their own pace. My patio is securely fenced, and I always make sure doors, windows and access points are secure. Dogs can use the patio when needed, with artificial turf that is thoroughly cleaned between pets, as well as enjoying walks at nearby parks. For cats, I make sure windows are securely latched and that they have safe spaces to relax, including accessible windowsills where they can watch the world outside. I’m also very conscious that every pet is different. I’ll never force interaction, introduce them to other animals without your knowledge, or change their routine unnecessarily. I follow your instructions carefully and give pets the right balance of exercise, play, affection, rest and personal space. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat their home and belongings with the same respect I would my own. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they are comfortable, safe and never left without appropriate care. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages, photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and being looked after with genuine care. ❤️

“Megan and her partner Ethan took excellent care of Sophocles and Coco for a weekend stay. We returned to two very happy pets and an immaculate flat. You can really tell they both love animals and take the time to get to know your pets specific needs. Would recommend to any other pet owners in the area :)”

“Had a great chat with Jo in advance of her watching my dog, Archie, which made me feel more secure on having her house sit him for an evening. She showed up earlier than expected so we could leave promptly to our event and even offered to stay late so we could enjoy ourselves. She was so warm and friendly with Archie and while we were gone she sent regular photo updates of him and texts. Would absolutely use her again if we were in need of a pet sitter. She was fab!”

About: I've had a dog since I was 9 years old, I've had 6 dogs. Pluto, Pluto II, Pretinho, Zaya, Dior and UDI. Everyone spent their lives with me when I lived in Brazil. I have two years of experience staying with Max and Charlotte that you can see in the photos. I always stay with them on their owners' vacations. I have experience in documenting my time with the dogs. You can see in the photos. I'm Fábio Germano, I work as a community manager for a music streaming app. I've been working from home for almost 5 years. I have a very flexible job so I can do it from anywhere. I have hobbies like reading, exercising and walking. I also go to the cinema a lot and I love Pop culture. I've had a dog since I was a child. I've had 6 dogs in total, Pluto, Pluto II, Pretinho, Zaya, Dior and UDI. Currently I don't have it because I live in a shared flat. I believe that living with animals is part of a healthy life, so I started working as a dog baby sitter in my spare time. In the photos you can see Max and Charlotte, I stay with them every year during their parents' travel dates. I always try to follow a routine, such as waking up at the same time (in case the need is house in), food in the same the tour. If there is a park nearby, I walk twice a day. I also keep a diary and record the time of all activities. Time they woke up, first meal, time of 💩, time of the walking, second meal, and time of any medication. All this respecting the dog's will. ***Complete virtual diary of all the animal's activities. Wake-up time, meal time, walk and photo and video of the activities. See the photos.
