“Highly Recommended I can’t thank Evridiki enough for looking after Teddy for 8 days while we were away on holiday. ❤️ She was absolutely amazing with him and treated him with so much care, love and attention. Evridiki kept us updated regularly throughout our holiday with lovely pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy Teddy was. 🐶🥰 It was clear that Teddy was very well looked after and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Evridiki to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and reliable to look after their dog. Thank you so much, Evridiki, for taking such good care of our Teddy! ❤️🐾 We would definitely use her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
About: I grew up around dogs so they have always been a large part of my life. Along with my own, I often care for friends+family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!
“Athinoula provided amazing care for our 6 year old cocker spaniel, Hazel. She took the time to arrange a pre visit to ensure Hazel got along with her dog and it was clear that she loves dogs and provided lots of care and attention. I had regular updates and photos of Hazel at her home and on outings with the family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Athinoula for anyone looking for a caring and professional dog sitter!”
“Another booking and once again everything was perfect - Karma just absolutely loves it with Demi and family… we are so overjoyed!! Lots of pics sent by Demi for us and plenty of walks for Karma!!”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
“Chang is such a lovely person and it was clear from the first meeting that she was a perfect fit for my dog Nacho. She had him for 8 nights and gave several daily updates throughout that time. I could see how happy he was and really comforted our family while we were away. She took care of him like he was her own and for this I am most appreciative. She made sure he was comfortable, happy and well cared for. Any special instructions were followed and updates given too. Thank you Chang.”
“I can’t thank Sonia enough for stepping in at the very last minute to look after my French Bulldog, Pablo. With no time for a meet and greet, I was a bit nervous leaving him with someone new — but Sonia immediately put me at ease. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and most importantly, kind and calm with Pablo, who can be a bit of a diva sometimes! I got regular updates and photos, and it was clear he was relaxed and happy in her care. Finding someone so reliable and caring on such short notice is rare, and I feel very lucky to have found Sonia. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — highly recommended!”
“Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!”
“We can’t thank or praise Rob and Hayley enough for the loving and dedicated care given to Molly and Murphy last week, who clearly enjoyed their 2nd stay, this time for 8 nights. We have no hesitation in recommending them.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have my own dog, Dolce, who is 4 years old. He is friendly, funny, and a big part of my daily routine. Caring for him has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I walk Dolce three times a day and make sure he gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. We also have special “dog days” where we spend extra quality time together, whether that’s playing at the park, watching movies, relaxing at home, or enjoying lots of cuddles. I pay attention to dogs’ comfort and well-being, including keeping them clean with pet-safe wipes, brushing when needed, and giving gentle massages to help them relax—especially senior dogs who appreciate a little extra care and attention. I treat every dog like family and always strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding twice a day, 3 walks, and check-ins to ensure consistency. I am flexible during mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I always prioritise reliability so pets are cared for at the times they are used to. I care for pets by maintaining a calm, safe, and clean environment. In my home , I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication, and exercise needs. I always supervise pets during walks, ensure secure leads and doors, and avoid unsafe situations with other animals. I respect the owner’s home, keep communication open with updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own.”
“Penny had a lovely time with Susan and family!! Lovely video and photo updates of her time there, would absolutely use again, so happy with the care they provided for her, lots of fun walks and ball throwing! thanks so much! 😊 x”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.

She frequently shared pictures and updates and my cat’s were well looked after while I was away, I would definitely use Christina again. Thankyou Furcedes 🙏😊”

Very clear Elaine cares so much for the care she provides and Luna can’t wait for us to go away again! If you’re searching for someone to take care of your kitties she’s absolutely fab! Thank you again 🥰😻”
“Gemesia has been a fantastic cat sitter from the very beginning. She came to meet us and Loki beforehand, let Loki set the pace, and asked lots of thoughtful questions about his habits and routine. Over the weekend we were away, she kept us well informed with videos both morning and evening, letting us know exactly what Loki was up to and how he was doing. Gemesia made the whole process easy and reassuring, at a time when leaving your pet can be really anxiety provoking. We've already booked her again for our next trip away - highly recommend!”

She’s absolutely brilliant and we can’t thank her enough for being so great! Thanks Sapphire! Xx”
“This is the second time I have used Becky’s cat sitting services! My shy cat absolutely loves her. Her communication is fantastic and I alway enjoy the photos she send along with her updates! Will 100% be using her services again xx”
“Chloe has anew friend...Peanut! This was the first time we used cat in a flat and a great experience. Chloe sent us pics and videos to keep us up to date... much appreciated. Sure we'll return! ”
“Jack has been amazing with my cat, when I came home after 3 days everything looked tidy and on top of everything my cat was happy and chilled 🥰😍 I don't think he missed us so much 😅 and it's just because Jack looked after him so well! Thank you again Jack.”
“Martha looked after my cat well and updated me a couple of times during the days I was away. She obviously loves animals and made an effort to interact with Rupert during her visits and whilst usually timid he warmed towards Martha and enjoyed the attention. I would recommend Martha for cat-sitting and if I need someone to look after Rupert when I am away again I would not hesitate to use Martha.”
“We had to arrange a cat sitter last minute and we’re so glad we found Adiba! She was so quick to respond and made everything really easy from the beginning. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular photos of Milo. With a more timid cat, we were happy to see Milo getting more comfortable and settled with her as the days went on. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands and would definitely recommend Adiba to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their pets. We’ll 100% be using her again whenever we go away!”

About: A proud owner of 7 cats and a dog. I have grown up around cats and kittens, with a huge love for cats and the love and comfort they can give us. I am the type of person who spends hours looking for my neighbour's cats if they ever go missing, because I genuinely care about the welfare of all cats. I have never been one to regularly donate to a charity, but I have consistently donated to Cats Protection because of their motive of having all cats treated with kindness and understanding their needs. A variety of my friends and neighbours will ask me to watch their cats on a regular basis, one of whom has 7 cats all with different needs. Some are indoor cats turned outdoor cats, indoor cats, or have free reign of the whole area.

Reah is very friendly, easy going and positive and gave us lots of updates. Will definitely call on her again (if she and her lovely little pup can bear the spaniel whirlwind!)”

About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.
“I honestly can’t thank Elly enough for taking such amazing care of Albert. He’s a Border Collie x Lab and quite a nervous dog, and this was the first time he’s ever been left away from me, so I was really anxious about it. Elly was absolutely brilliant from start to finish – so patient, kind and understanding with him. I got regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease, and it was clear Albert was in safe hands. When I picked him up after Monday to Friday, he was happy, settled and comfortable, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elly to anyone, especially if you have a nervous dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I grew up with many cats, from the age of 3 until today. My first cat, Scampi, I had for 20 years from age 3-23 and we had many more through out that time. My current lovely cat babies are Leonardo DiCatrio (Leo) and Norma Jean. I have been looking after my sister’s cockapoo puppy for almost a year now when she is away and friends have relied on me to look after their dogs many times throughout the years. I have experience with small dogs such as a Jack Russell, medium dogs like my friend’s Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever, as well as big dogs like Rottweilers. I have always been an animal lover and with my parents, we have fostered around 50 pregnant, injured or orphaned kitties for the rspca in their transitional period (from rescue until they are ready to find their forever home) ❤️ I am also used to administering oral medication and eye drops I have a flexible working schedule with work from home often an option and sometimes work evening events meaning I can care for pets both in the day and in the evening. I always make sure pets have access to a secure and familiar space so that they have a place to go to feel safe. I am calm, quiet and confident with pets and always willing to be patient with a pet as I am a new person coming into their home and recognise that this can be scary for them.
“Steve was absolutely brilliant. He helped us out at late notice when we were desperate and was so accommodating. He clearly loves dogs and gave Rolo everything he needed to feel at home!”
“It was Buddy's first time with Sonia (and Bailey) and he was completely at home from the moment he arrived. Sonia sent updates and photos throughout the day so I could see Buddy was really settled and having fun. I would definitely recommend Sonia and we have already rebooked for a day next month.”
“Couldn’t fault Alexandros, took Lulu on so last minute, she’s also in season and was wearing a nappy so she didn’t bleed all over the house and he took it off so she was more comfortable. Gave me constant updates throughout the day! Will book again”
About: We have always had dogs. I love taking care of them (and if I could I would have 100)! Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, or shy pets who require patience and reassurance, I adapt my care to each dog’s unique needs. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to your furry family member, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working full-time so my flexibility is limited through week days. However I am fully flexible on weekends and more than happy to take care of any furry angels!

No one will be involved in dogs’ care but me.

This taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog behaviours, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve handled: Daily walks and exercise routines Feeding schedules and hygiene care Basic medication and health monitoring Dogs with different temperaments and needs I truly love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Now based in UK, I’m excited to give the same level of care and dedication to your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate: Morning, afternoon, and evening walks Last-minute bookings Regular daily walks or long-term care I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can tell my own experience- Before relocating to the UK, I ensured that all the dogs I cared for were responsibly handed over to local authorities so they would continue receiving proper food, medical care, and protection. I take long-term responsibility seriously and always put the well-being of animals first.
About: I have experience of taking care of cats for several years, and have a lovely Ragdoll with me currently.

But please schedule the period with me ahead, as I still need to look after my schedule just in case I am out:) I never caged my cats, as I always believed give their freedom is important.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover 🐾 and love getting to know each pet’s personality…. whether they’re full of zoomies, a bit shy, or just want cuddles and company. I’ve had my own Whippet and Jack Russell, so I’m used to different sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I also have my own cat, so I understand routines, boundaries and helping pets feel safe and settled 🐶🐱 I studied animal care for a year, volunteered at a dog groomers and have experience with dog walking, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter changes and basic clean-ups. I’m happy to send photo updates and will treat your pet like my own with patience, kindness, care and plenty of compliments! 🥰 My availability varies depending on the service required, but as a general guide: Saturday: flexible all day Sunday: flexible all day Monay - Friday: available after 6pm 🐾 Please message me directly with the service, date and times you need, and I’ll be happy to confirm whether I’m available I’ll care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their usual routine as possible. At home, I have a garden for fresh air and toilet breaks, and I also have a cat, so pets staying with me would need to be comfortable around cats. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, litter changes, cuddles and company. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and send photo updates if wanted
About: Hi! My name is Rosie, and I’ve been passionate about caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve gained hands-on experience through nearly a year and a half of voluntary work at a doggy day care, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, and keeping the dogs happy and entertained. What began as school work experience quickly turned into a long-term opportunity, as the staff invited me to stay on after I finished school. I also spent three months working on a farm, where I handled, fed, and cleaned a variety of animals as part of my training. I’ve completed my Level 1 Animal Care qualification and began working toward Level 2 before taking a job in retail, with plans to return and complete my studies. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve always had animals in my life — currently, I share my home with several dogs and cats, and have grown up around animals since childhood. I’m kind, reliable, and truly love caring for animals, which is why I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter. You can trust that your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own x Even though I currently have a part-time job, caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I take full responsibility for my own pets at home, making sure they’re fed, clean, healthy, and happy. Pet Care fits perfectly into my routine as it allows me to continue doing what I love — working with animals — even while balancing another job. My goal is to eventually pursue a full-time career in animal care, and this is a great step toward making that dream a reality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and aim to make the animals feel safe and secure. I follow any routines or instructions provided closely, as I know consistency is important for their well-being. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm body language, gentle handling, and positive interaction. I make sure the environment stays clean and hazard-free, always keeping an eye out for anything that could affect their comfort or safety. My priority is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel confident and relaxed while I’m in their home.
About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.
About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old and dogs for 3 years. I have handled everything from feeding and cleaning to birth and feeding newborns every two hours. I even have experience nursing a cat with congenital heart failure. I have a trained Afghan hound who can be off leash, so I am no stranger to stubborn active “untrainable” dogs. I am currently free with no commitments and so if needed can take on same day booking for walking and check ins. I will always update my availability. I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.

“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”
“Steven kept us informed of how Cliff was getting on throughout the day, and with pictures too. He is very friendly and we know Cliff has had a great day. We will happily book with Steven again 😄”
“Lovely boarder with beautiful doggy friendly home and garden - really appreciated receiving updates and photos of my boy and he looked like he had the time of his life!!! ❤️ so thankful for the late notice booking and flexible pick up arrangements. Thank you!!!”
“This was our first time booking with Richard, and the visit seems to be a success to the point that one of my dogs didn’t want to leave Richard’s sofa to go home. We were kept informed every day how the dogs were doing and got some picture updates as well. We definitely be back with some more doggy day care requests ☺️”
“Another booking and once again everything was perfect - Karma just absolutely loves it with Demi and family… we are so overjoyed!! Lots of pics sent by Demi for us and plenty of walks for Karma!!”
“Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We had never left our Staffy 'Milo' before so we were a little anxious as he has a lot of energy & can be very mischievous but Milena & her family looked after him so well, and sent daily photos & videos of his walks & his antics which made our holiday much more enjoyable.”
“Can't rate Polly highly enough, Billy was looked after and loved. He was happy, we felt that the minute we arrived to pick him up. Thank you so much Polly for looking after and caring for our baby.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Bethany provided! Milo was so happy and settled the entire time he was with her. We appreciate her brilliant service a lot and would definitely recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable dogsitter.”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! It has taken me 3 years to find someone who loves Izzy as much as we do and is understanding of her needs. Fran is such a lovely person who goes out of her way to provide a home from home environment for pets. Izzy had lots of walks and interaction with Fran and her family. She came back shattered! We received lots of messages and videos to reassure us which was great as it was the first time she was away overnight- and didn't stay with a family member. Thank you Fran! Xxx”
“Elly was absolutely brilliant with my greyhound Nev- he had such a good time with Dolly and friends that he was reluctant to leave when I came to pick him up!! I received regular updates throughout and would absolutely book Nev in with Elly again!”
“Betsy was welcomed with warmth into Kate's home and we felt she was looked after sensitively. We appreciated frequent updates and photos. We would thoroughly recommend Kate and her family as excellent Dog Airbnb hosts! She would certainly be out first port of call should we need Betsy looking after again by anyone other than a family member.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have my own dog, Dolce, who is 4 years old. He is friendly, funny, and a big part of my daily routine. Caring for him has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I walk Dolce three times a day and make sure he gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. We also have special “dog days” where we spend extra quality time together, whether that’s playing at the park, watching movies, relaxing at home, or enjoying lots of cuddles. I pay attention to dogs’ comfort and well-being, including keeping them clean with pet-safe wipes, brushing when needed, and giving gentle massages to help them relax—especially senior dogs who appreciate a little extra care and attention. I treat every dog like family and always strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding twice a day, 3 walks, and check-ins to ensure consistency. I am flexible during mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I always prioritise reliability so pets are cared for at the times they are used to. I care for pets by maintaining a calm, safe, and clean environment. In my home , I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication, and exercise needs. I always supervise pets during walks, ensure secure leads and doors, and avoid unsafe situations with other animals. I respect the owner’s home, keep communication open with updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own.”

I am patient and reliable, I will strictly follow your pet’s daily routine, feeding and exercise requirements to keep them comfortable and happy I have flexible spare‑time every week. I can devote sufficient time to walk, feed and play with your pets. I am available both weekdays and weekends and will stick closely to your pet’s original daily schedule. My flat is quiet, clean and pet‑friendly. There are no hazards for cats or dogs inside. I will supervise pets closely and respect each pet’s personality. I will send regular photo updates so you can stay reassured.
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
