“Anna is a responsive, reliable and effective dog sitter - we had complete confidence in her over the 10 days we were away. She provided regular updates and attentive care for our dog, that suffers from some separation anxiety. Recommended.”
“Nicola was really friendly and welcoming. She really listened to what Lottie needed and communicated well throughout. I would definitely book again if in need of boarding services :)”
“Second time Beth has looked after our 10 year old Labrador x brothers. Could not be happier, Beth is lovely and the boys come home happy from their overnight stay. Would definitely recommend Beth”
“Fantastic - knowing Suggs is happy and well looked after is priceless. Frequent updates and pictures while away help with us all missing him. My biggest worry was he wouldn’t want to come home. Thankyou Clare Suggs adores you”
“Carina was amazing with our little dog, she had a great time with her and her family! Good communication with regular updates and photos ! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Tracey kindly had our 14 ur old cockerpoo Lila for the first time last week, for 7 nights. We were kept updated daily with photos & messages which were really helpful to my wife & myself. We collected lila today & Lila was really calm & relaxed. Would definitely recommend Tracey 10/10 from us”
“We cannot thank Stephanie enough! She was a total lifesaver after our previous sitter let us down just one week before our trip. Despite the short notice, she stepped in with so much professionalism and care. It was such a relief to know our dog Millie was in great hands, and we could finally relax on our holiday. She provided top-tier care and kept us updated throughout. She’s reliable, kind, and we will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi, we are Lauren and Paul, and together with our family we are passionate dog lovers based in Goffs Oak. After saying goodbye to our beloved family dog of 15 years, we're not quite ready for the commitment of another dog of our own. What we do know is that our home feels a little quieter without four paws around, and we'd love to share that spare love and attention with your dog. We have both grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, from energetic Boxers to affectionate Jugs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and right at home. Due to Paul working from home, and myself being part time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, companionship and care throughout the day. We offer both daycare and boarding, fitting naturally around our family life. We're fortunate to live in a fantastic location surrounded by fields and beautiful walking routes, allowing us to tailor walks to your dog's normal routine and energy levels. For more active dogs, we're also happy to include longer walks or runs where appropriate. Most importantly, we understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. We will care for your dog as if they were part of our own family, with plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, affection and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat. We can't wait to meet you and your furry friend. As a part-time teacher, I am home during school holidays, and Paul works from home four days a week (one weekday off) during term time. This means your dog will enjoy plenty of company throughout the day and is only likely to be left alone briefly during school runs, typically under an hour at a time, twice a day. Our availability will reflect when someone is home to spend time with your dog. We have three daughters aged 6, 10 and 12 who have grown up with our own dog, Frank. They understand how to behave respectfully around dogs and are used to the responsibilities that come with caring for pets. While our 10-year-old can sometimes be a little cautious around larger dogs initially, she quickly gains confidence and is always gentle and kind. Your dog's comfort and happiness are our priority. We are happy to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible, whether that's sleeping on a particular bed, using a crate, following feeding schedules or taking medication (with clear instructions provided). Our home offers: 🐾 A fully enclosed and secure garden, with fencing of at least 5 feet 🐾 Plenty of attention, affection and family interaction 🐾 Sofa cuddles allowed for dogs who are used to them 🐾 Flexible sleeping arrangements, including dog beds or crates downstairs 🐾 Simple medication administration if required 🐾 Regular updates and photos during their stay 🐾 Weekend bookings available, often even at short notice One thing that makes us different is that we only host dogs from a single household at any one time. This means your dog won't be sharing space with unfamiliar boarding dogs and can enjoy a calmer, more personalised experience with plenty of one-to-one attention. We know how important it is to leave your dog with people you trust, and we will care for them as if they were our own. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home.
“We will only ever use Charlie to take care of Len when we go away, Charlie takes Len on so many adventures and I get constant updates of him on walks, in rivers or sleeping. Len always has the best time with Charlie and her dogs and always comes home exhausted!”
“Oana was brilliant. It was Jax’s first ever overnight stay without someone without us and she was so supportive. Not just for Jax but for us. She sent me regular updates so we weren’t stressing and was so calming and caring for our pup, especially at such short notice on NYE! Jax seems so happy!!! 100% recommend and hopefully will see Oana again soon (I know Jax would want to!)”
“Anely and her family took fantastic care of Lola! She sent us photos and an update of her every day of our holiday, it was so nice to see her having fun. Lola had plenty of fun walks with Brownie in the forest and lots of cuddles with the family. We will definitely be sending Lola back for any future trips. Thank you so much!”
About: We have had family dogs for the last 11 years, we currently have 2 bearded collies, Merlin (11yrs) and Griffon (5yrs) and they are regular visitors to our new home we recently purchased! There is plenty of room for fun in the fenced garden and other very friendly dogs in the neighbourhood we may bump into on walks. I work from home so there will always be someone around for your furry friend. I work remotely full time, however I have a very active lifestyle and go for walks in the morning, lunch times and evenings. I also have a flexible work schedule and with enough notice can make day time walks work if required Our family dogs do not live with us, they are with my in-laws, however as retired parents should be, they are very keen travellers and we are very happy dog sitters! As mentioned, we have a fenced in garden and lots of surrounding areas for dog walks. I work from home so am around to monitor and keep fluffy friends company.
“Our 12 year-old cockatoo, Lexi, had a great overnight boarding experience with Nick and his family. She came back very happy but also was very comfortable with them when I picked her up. We are so happy we have rebooked him for September!”
“Ellie looked after Basil for us for a week and was great. She kept us updated with photos and messages which gave us peace of mind whilst we were away. We met Ellie and Ben beforehand and they were a great fit, with so much knowledge and experience with dogs. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely leave Basil with Ellie again.”
About: Grew up with animals and have always been a dog person. Now I have a Cavapoo puppy who I train myself and take care of. I work flexible hours (mostly) at home which allows me to have dedicated outside time with puppies. I generally am outside with my own puppy at least 3 times a day to give him fresh air. The entire property is fenced with a small section of the front yard separated from the main backyard. I have an indoor and outdoor office so I can be in either to be closer to the puppies (depending on where they are).
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so having a furry friend around has always felt completely normal to me! My parents currently have two Labradors and a Border Terrier who I spend lots of time with and regularly walk, so I’m very used to different personalities, sizes and energy levels. I absolutely love being outdoors and am always up for a long walk, exploring somewhere new or even having a four-legged running buddy! Equally, I’m more than happy with a slower stroll and plenty of cuddles on the sofa for dogs who prefer life at a gentler pace. I’m confident and comfortable around all types of dogs and would be happy looking after everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little more patience and care. Most importantly, I know how much dogs become part of the family. If I’m looking after yours, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’ll be treated like one of my own, with lots of attention, affection, walks and probably far too much fuss! 🐶🤍 During the week I work as a teacher, but outside of work I’m very active and love spending my free time outdoors. Walks and runs are already a big part of my routine, so having a furry companion with me makes them even better! I’m particularly available during evenings, weekends and school holidays, when I have much more flexibility and plenty of time for walks, playtime and company. I know every dog is different, so I’m really happy to follow the routine they’re used to at home, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any other little quirks that make them feel comfortable! I’m confident around dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little more patience. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, settled and very well looked after.
“We are very glad to have found Vesna. She was great to deal with from the start, responding very fast and asking all the right questions - it was clear she really knows how to look after a dog, and that she was going to enjoy Coco's company as well as looking after her. She fully understood and happily accommodated Coco's issues with other dogs, which was very reassuring for us. Vesna came to visit us at home ahead of the stay, to meet Coco and get to know her. While we were away she sent pictures of their walks and games, but she was respectful of our holiday (she asked how often we would like updates, and she then followed our reply exactly.) It was a nice bonus that she lives in a spot that makes for some lovely dog walks. If you are looking for a kind, responsible, professional person to look after your dog, Vesna is your woman!”

“Selda visited once a day to feed my one-year-old cat, Mabel, while I was away over Christmas, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. From our first meeting when I handed over the house key, I was completely confident that Mabel was in safe and caring hands. While I was away, Selda sent regular photos and videos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and happy Mabel was in her company. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Selda and will definitely be using her again. Thank you 🤗”
“A huge thank you to Alys for taking such wonderful care of our four cats! They clearly loved her, and we really appreciated the regular photo and video updates. It made being away so much easier. Highly recommended!”
“April was amazing with Jax, she really took the time to understand his needs and went above and beyond to make sure he was well looked after & happy. We received daily updates and photos. We felt really comfortable leaving him in her care. Looking forward to next time!”
“Philippa was great with our cat Lewie! When we returned from holiday he seemed calm, well-fed and groomed! I could see his food corner was kept nice and clean and she had followed all my instructions as requested! I would definitely book her again when needed! Thanks Philippa!”
“Siobhan was absolutely fantastic looking after my two cats while I was away on a couple of trips. She came over beforehand to meet them and immediately came across as professional, friendly, and trustworthy, which gave me complete confidence in leaving both my home and my cats in her care. She stuck to their normal feeding routines, watered my plants, and kept me updated throughout with WhatsApp photos and videos, which was really reassuring. What impressed me most was that one of my cats is incredibly shy and, over the five days Siobhan looked after them, she managed to get her eating from her hand. In the six years I've had her, that's never happened before to anyone apart from me! It was a pleasure having Siobhan look after my cats, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I'll definitely be using her again in the future whenever I need someone to care for them. Thank you again, Siobhan!”
“Very happy with Jamie's we got regular reports with pictures the cats warmed up to him fairly quickly my girl cat suzy is very scared of new people but she warmed up to jamie i would use him again if we go away”
“I cannot recommend Joao and his lovely partner Lara enough!!! I was so at ease on my holiday, they were so easy to communicate with and figured everything out themselves. They knew exactly how to take care of Moussey - I’ve returned home to a happy little baby who I know is missing them a lot! Hands down the best cat sitting I’ve experienced and will recommend to everyone I know! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“Philip was absolutely amazing, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From the moment we went away, he kept us updated with photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. All of our cats absolutely adore him and are so comfortable around him. What really impressed us was that he even managed to win over our semi-feral two-year-old cat, who normally runs away and hides from everyone. Seeing him earn her trust so quickly was incredible. Philip is kind, reliable, and clearly has a real love and understanding of cats. We were so impressed that we've already booked him again for our next trip in August. Thank you so much, Philip—we wouldn't trust anyone else with our cats! 😺😺😺😺”

I’ve grown up around them and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since the day I was born and absolutely LOVE dogs. I’ve had big dogs, small dogs and pretty much any breed you can imagine! At the moment I’ve got a little yorkie who is extremely friendly with all dogs and humans (she loves making new doggy friends ☺️) I have looked after many of my friends & family’s dogs before and am very reliable. I’m currently working part time (mainly on weekends), so I have a lot of time to play with your dog and take them on long, green walks! I spend most of my weekdays taking my dog on new walks so she can enjoy different smells and scenery. I have a very friendly yorkie (2 years old), who loves to play and socialise with others. I take her out on long walks every day and try to take her to many different terrains (grass, ponds, rivers, boardwalks, woodland walks etc) I can be home all day to care for your dog, I have puppy pads or if they are used to peeing outside, I have a front door that leads directly to grassy fields (which I can take your dog out as often as they need for toilet breaks) My dog sleeps in my bed with me and is allowed on sofas, so if your dog is used to being pampered they will get the same treatment here! ☺️

About: Grew up with animals and have always been a dog person. Now I have a Cavapoo puppy who I train myself and take care of. I work flexible hours (mostly) at home which allows me to have dedicated outside time with puppies. I generally am outside with my own puppy at least 3 times a day to give him fresh air. The entire property is fenced with a small section of the front yard separated from the main backyard. I have an indoor and outdoor office so I can be in either to be closer to the puppies (depending on where they are).

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since the day I was born and absolutely LOVE dogs. I’ve had big dogs, small dogs and pretty much any breed you can imagine! At the moment I’ve got a little yorkie who is extremely friendly with all dogs and humans (she loves making new doggy friends ☺️) I have looked after many of my friends & family’s dogs before and am very reliable. I’m currently working part time (mainly on weekends), so I have a lot of time to play with your dog and take them on long, green walks! I spend most of my weekdays taking my dog on new walks so she can enjoy different smells and scenery. I have a very friendly yorkie (2 years old), who loves to play and socialise with others. I take her out on long walks every day and try to take her to many different terrains (grass, ponds, rivers, boardwalks, woodland walks etc) I can be home all day to care for your dog, I have puppy pads or if they are used to peeing outside, I have a front door that leads directly to grassy fields (which I can take your dog out as often as they need for toilet breaks) My dog sleeps in my bed with me and is allowed on sofas, so if your dog is used to being pampered they will get the same treatment here! ☺️

Whether your best friend needs a quick or regular walk or just a drop in for a cuddle, I’m here! I have hands on experience of looking after doggies of all sizes, breeds and personalities. I will always tailor my care to your pup’s personality. I have a calm, compassionate and safety-focused approach. I have clear communication and will always provide you with regular updates so you know how your pup is doing! Availability: Weekdays and weekends. I am currently able to be flexible with my work so can work around what’s best to suit you! I am able to work from home throughout the week so my schedule is flexible. This makes sure your best friend is never short on love and attention! Communication is my priority and I will always provide loads of pictures and videos of your baby. This will ensure that you see how safe and comfortable your pet feels in my care.
About: I've been passionate about animals all my life. I have looked after small,medium & large dogs; as well as cats. I regularly look after my friend's dog on a Tuesday all day and various other times and have looked after her for two weeks while she was on holiday. Currently I dont own a pet; so if your dog is nervous around othe animals there is no concern. I am friendly and kind and would love to meet your little bundle of fur. I currently work part-time in the care industry. I would be available Monday from 2:30 pm. Thursday-Sunday. I might be available for drop ins depending on what time you need. Your pet always comes first, I am more than happy to play with, walk or feed your pet. I know plenty of dog friendly areas. I am unable to look after pets securely where I live, so unfortunately that isn't an option. But anything else goes.
About: Hi! We're João and Lara, a couple based in North London who love providing care for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, reactive, elderly or simply loves lots of cuddles, we'll make sure they receive the same care, patience and routine they're used to at home. We know every animal has their own personality, and we take the time to build trust at their pace. João grew up in the Santarém mountains of Portugal surrounded by large working dog breeds, while Lara grew up in a cat-loving family and has spent her life caring for rescue and stray cats. Together we've cared for everything from tiny lap dogs to energetic young dogs, as well as confident, shy and rescue cats. We'll keep you updated throughout every booking with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe and well looked after. Just take a look at our reviews they speak for themselves. We can't wait to meet your furry family I work hybrid and Lara is self-employed, so we have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. We will make sure every pet gets consistent care and attention at times that work best for you and your routine. We'll prioritise safety, comfort, and a calm environment for every pet. Me and my partner Lara, will keep areas clean and secure, follow feeding and medication routines carefully, and give plenty of attention and supervision. Pets in our care feel safe, loved, and stress-free, whether in my home or theirs.
About: I have loved dogs all my life. I regularly walk my sisters dog as my one sadly passed a few years ago. I’m patient and caring and just need my dog fix! I have recently been made redundant and trying to restart my self employed beauty business. I’m flexible and willing to help out where I can! I am confident with dogs and safety is number 1 to me. Anything you require me to do for your dog I will do with the most care.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand that pets are family and adore animals. I wanted to be a Vet growing up but science was sadly not my strong point. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will care for them with the same love, attention and patience that you do. I grew up with French Bulldogs, so I'm very familiar with brachycephalic breeds and the extra care, monitoring and attention they require. Through this experience, I've learned how important it is to pay close attention to a pet's behaviour, comfort and wellbeing. My family have two tabby cats and a kitten, giving me experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities. Whether it's an energetic young pet who loves to play or an older pet who prefers a calmer routine, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. I'm reliable, attentive and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I always welcome an initial meet and greet or phone call to discuss the best care I can provide prior a first booking. I work in the Essex area, so I’m able to do morning lunchtime and evening/ overnight stays locally around Buckhurst hill, Chingford, Woodford, Chigwell and nearby areas. I also cover Enfield and nearby areas. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I drive so can easily arrange visits and feeding schedules. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, making sure pets are checked on, walks and cared for even when owners are busy at work. When caring for a pet in their home, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure they feel relaxed and secure by keeping things familiar and following their normal schedule as closely as possible. I understand that pets can feel anxious or lonely when their owners are away, so I focus on giving them calm, caring company and plenty of attention to help them feel at ease. Whether that’s cuddles, playtime, walks, or simply sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I adapt to what each pet needs. I also respect the owner’s home, keeping everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. My goal is to give both pets and owners peace of mind, knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have experience in terms of owing my own pets, being 2 dogs and 2 cats. I also have experience with family member’s dogs/cats and dogs/cats that belong to friends I care for animals every day. I have a dog who is a senior rescue bull terrier who I help train throughout the day day. This includes walks for exercise, playing in the garden, feeding and sorting her medication I would require a list of information about the dog and the dogs temperament/habits before starting. Especially since I will be walking your beloved pet, I would like to be informed of any aggression issues, whether towards people, other dogs or small animals. If they have a strong prey drive or not and whether your dog walks well on a lead (if they’re a puller or not). I am okay to work with dogs that have some small behavioural issues however I will not walk a reactive dog without a muzzle. This is not a risk I want to make and put other pets at risk of being hurt
About: Experience with young and old dogs with varying needs. Having owned dogs my whole life, I am well equipped to cater to their important needs AND their love and attention. I frequently look after my Nana’s dog and I have my own (very needy!) Basset Hound. I work as a writer, so flexibility is my middle name! I can work from anywhere and love taking breaks by walking in nature, which makes taking a fluffy companion with me a treat. I am confident and responsible, I am happy to cater to the exact needs of your pet. From pets which need lots of help and attention, to pets who just need company in the house!
“Leanna walked my rescue dog Buffy as a last minute request. Buffy can be quite nervous of new people, but she loved Leanna straight away as she is very warm and friendly, and clearly a natural with dogs. I was very happy to leave Buffy in Leanna's capable hands! Thank you Leanna, I will definitely book you again next time I am in the area. x”
About: I know it can be really difficult when trying to find accommodation for your fury friend🐾 And we are here to make that a little easier for you. I’ve been a personal pet sitter for 6 years and have always lived with dogs and cats! I am working part time from home which leaves me lots of time to take your doggie for walks / toilet breaks as often as required. I love taking trips daily to local forest parks and areas and allowing our dogs to socialise with others, my sister also sits and this means we’re able to socialise our doggies together when we meet up for our daily dog walk! I have a good sized house with a nice sized garden which is fenced off. Pop us a message if you’d like some more information regarding our services and we would be happy to help answer any queries you have. We look forward to welcoming new paws to our home 🏡 I work from home part time and am a trained primary school teacher currently on sabbatical leave. This means I am available every day to care for your pet and am able to give them my undivided attention ❤️ I have a fenced garden which means dogs are welcome to roam our garden freely and explore. We offer both boarding and walking services. Please feel free to contact us to hear more.

About: Hi, we are Lauren and Paul, and together with our family we are passionate dog lovers based in Goffs Oak. After saying goodbye to our beloved family dog of 15 years, we're not quite ready for the commitment of another dog of our own. What we do know is that our home feels a little quieter without four paws around, and we'd love to share that spare love and attention with your dog. We have both grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, from energetic Boxers to affectionate Jugs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and right at home. Due to Paul working from home, and myself being part time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, companionship and care throughout the day. We offer both daycare and boarding, fitting naturally around our family life. We're fortunate to live in a fantastic location surrounded by fields and beautiful walking routes, allowing us to tailor walks to your dog's normal routine and energy levels. For more active dogs, we're also happy to include longer walks or runs where appropriate. Most importantly, we understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. We will care for your dog as if they were part of our own family, with plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, affection and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat. We can't wait to meet you and your furry friend. As a part-time teacher, I am home during school holidays, and Paul works from home four days a week (one weekday off) during term time. This means your dog will enjoy plenty of company throughout the day and is only likely to be left alone briefly during school runs, typically under an hour at a time, twice a day. Our availability will reflect when someone is home to spend time with your dog. We have three daughters aged 6, 10 and 12 who have grown up with our own dog, Frank. They understand how to behave respectfully around dogs and are used to the responsibilities that come with caring for pets. While our 10-year-old can sometimes be a little cautious around larger dogs initially, she quickly gains confidence and is always gentle and kind. Your dog's comfort and happiness are our priority. We are happy to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible, whether that's sleeping on a particular bed, using a crate, following feeding schedules or taking medication (with clear instructions provided). Our home offers: 🐾 A fully enclosed and secure garden, with fencing of at least 5 feet 🐾 Plenty of attention, affection and family interaction 🐾 Sofa cuddles allowed for dogs who are used to them 🐾 Flexible sleeping arrangements, including dog beds or crates downstairs 🐾 Simple medication administration if required 🐾 Regular updates and photos during their stay 🐾 Weekend bookings available, often even at short notice One thing that makes us different is that we only host dogs from a single household at any one time. This means your dog won't be sharing space with unfamiliar boarding dogs and can enjoy a calmer, more personalised experience with plenty of one-to-one attention. We know how important it is to leave your dog with people you trust, and we will care for them as if they were our own. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home.
“We will only ever use Charlie to take care of Len when we go away, Charlie takes Len on so many adventures and I get constant updates of him on walks, in rivers or sleeping. Len always has the best time with Charlie and her dogs and always comes home exhausted!”
“Oana was brilliant. It was Jax’s first ever overnight stay without someone without us and she was so supportive. Not just for Jax but for us. She sent me regular updates so we weren’t stressing and was so calming and caring for our pup, especially at such short notice on NYE! Jax seems so happy!!! 100% recommend and hopefully will see Oana again soon (I know Jax would want to!)”
“Our 12 year-old cockatoo, Lexi, had a great overnight boarding experience with Nick and his family. She came back very happy but also was very comfortable with them when I picked her up. We are so happy we have rebooked him for September!”
“Ellie looked after Basil for us for a week and was great. She kept us updated with photos and messages which gave us peace of mind whilst we were away. We met Ellie and Ben beforehand and they were a great fit, with so much knowledge and experience with dogs. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely leave Basil with Ellie again.”
“Selda and her husband took such great care of Suki, my 4 month old bully x pup. They have a lovely dog called Brittany and they loved to play and a lovely home with a secure garden. I would book again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend :)”
“Kim was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Pluto, and we loved getting the detailed updates with lots of photos and videos. Her communication was always incredibly respectful, and it's clear Pluto had a wonderful and happy time with her!”
“Emily was kind, caring and responsible towards Griffin during his New Year's stay with her. We had a meet up before and she asked pertinent questions about Griffin's welfare and likes, I was really confident leaving him with Emily. Thank you Emily, Griffin enjoyed his time with you i could tell!”

About: As a toddler, I learnt to walk with the help of my family's gorgeous golden retriever. I now live on a narrowboat and move around East and North East London, spending my time walking around Lea Valley Park, Hackney Marshes and Victoria Park with various furry friends, some of whom also enjoy stays on my boat. While I don't have a private garden, I do always have the towpath and usually a big park right on my doorstep. I work freelance from home as a translator, so my day-to-day is very flexible. Whether there's a dog staying or not, my days always start with a walk or a run around my local green space. I love being outdoors so would welcome dogs who need longer and/or more frequent walks, but am also happy to provide cuddles and a calm environment at home. My boat has a comfy sofa and space for a crate if required. While I don't have my own private garden, I have easy access to the towpath and am usually a stone's throw from one of East/North-East London's parks.
“Abigail really took care of our puppy well and was extremely helpful throughout. Before the visit she arranged a meet and greet, and while our dog was staying with her she sent us photos to show her settling in which was much appreciated! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will be booking our dog in again to stay with her soon.”
“Andrea was incredible. We left our dog Oso with her for a week while we went on holiday and he had the best time. We got lots of updates with pictures which was so nice to see while we were away and missing him. We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing that our baby was being so well looked after. I highly recommend Andrea and we will definitely be booking again.”
“Daniel and his family went above and beyond to welcome Arthur to their home. He was treated like one of their own. Daniel kept in regular contact and sent through images regularly. Would highly recommend and will certainly be using again.”
“Viviene is probably one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met she’s so friendly and caring! And I felt at complete ease leaving my puppy with her! When I collected Romy I could see how much they bonded and how happy he was! I would 1 million percent recommend Viviene and 100% will book her again every time!!! Xxx”
“Teddy had an amazing weekend and came home calm and settled. The meet and greet before his stay was also helpful in reassuring me that he would be left in safe hands. I will definitely be using this service again.”
“Ilke was wonderful with Mitzi! She sent lots of photos and daily updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Mitzi was clearly very comfortable—Coffee even generously let her take over his bed!”
“Ovgu was absolutely brilliant with our puppy and he had a genuinely brilliant time with her over the five days we were away. She was incredibly communicative, tended to his needs as if he was her dog and took him on lovely walks. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you so much!”
