“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.”
“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”
“Beth was absolutely fab with my dog who is senior, has 3 legs and medication. I was very reassured and really do trust her! Buddy had a great time and was very well taken care of :)”
“Carina and her family were amazing, they looked after our two dogs and they had the most amazing time, lovely long walks and great fun in their large garden. Would highly recommend Carina”
“We had a great experience with Clare. We met her beforehand to introduce her to Bailey. Clare was friendly and asked good questions about Bailey. Bailey was happy to see Clare when we dropped her off. Clare sent us photos and videos during the week showing Bailey out and about on long walks (and fast asleep afterwards). We felt Bailey was in great hands and would highly recommend Clare.”
“Diana is very caring and attentive. She kept sending photos of Milo with me every day and kept us posted Milo’s situation. Milo didn’t eat during the pet sitting period, and she cooked him chicken rice after checking with me. I’m sure Milo had a blast during his staycation with Diana, and we will definitely go back next time!”
“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: My partner Ben and I both work for Guide Dogs. He works as a Guide Dog Mobility Specialist, training the dogs and matching them to the clients.

Neither of us work weekends so are also available then. We have a fenced in garden with fake grass. We also have a nice place to free run/ lead walk any dogs about 5 minutes away from our house.
“Our pup Lennon had the best 2 night stay with Charlie and her dogs. Charlie gave us lots of updates throughout the weekend which made us feel so reassured. Lennon had the time of his life with lots of walks and looks like he had constant fun. We will 100% send Len back to Charlie’s when we are next away ❤️”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and current pet parent, I know that every dog has a completely unique personality. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or a strong-willed sweetheart who prefers a structured routine and extra pampering, I adapt my care to exactly what makes them feel secure. I have extensive experience managing different breeds, maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules, and keeping a watchful eye on pet wellness. Having navigated the sudden scares that come with curious pets, I prioritise a safe, controlled environment above all else. When your dog is with me, they aren’t just being watched, they are treated with the absolute dedication, patience, and love of family. As a professional pawrent with a highly flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have ample time for dedicated boarding, frequent potty breaks, and interactive playtime, ensuring your dog receives constant supervision, structured walks, and plenty of love throughout the day. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden and a welcoming home environment shared with my two friendly, small dogs who love making new companions. I am highly experienced in maintaining strict routines, monitoring wellness, and can easily crate your dog if preferred for their comfort.
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: 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.

About: With nearly 50 years of life experience and a lifelong devotion to dogs, I offer a level of mature, reliable, and deeply intuitive care that only comes with time. My journey as a dedicated pet parent began 37 years ago when I welcomed into my life my American Cocker Spaniel, named Joy, caring for him deeply throughout his beautiful 16-year life. That cherished bond taught me everything about canine companionship, from the playful energy of youth to the gentle, patient care needed in a dog's golden years.Since then, I have been the trusted, go-to caregiver and dog walker for family, friends, and neighbours, looking after dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that your dog is a treasured family member, and I treat them with the exact same love, vigilance, and respect that I gave my own. When your dog is with me, you get total peace of mind knowing they are in safe, highly experienced hands, enjoying walks filled with genuine affection, tailored pacing, and heartfelt companionship. **My Services** - Tailored Solo Walks: One-on-one attention, perfect for anxious, senior, or reactive dogs who prefer their own space. - Fun Group Treks: Carefully selected small groups for social pups who love to play and burn off energy together. - Post-Walk Care: Thorough paw-wiping on rainy English days, fresh water top-ups, and a text update with photos sent straight to you. As a full-time teacher, my routine is highly structured, allowing me to offer rock-solid reliability during my free hours. On weekdays, my school day finishes in the mid-afternoon, making me perfectly available for lovely late afternoon and evening walks to break up your dog's day or give you a relaxing evening. My weekends are completely wide open from morning until night, which is when I love taking pups on longer, more adventurous treks. Best of all, during school holidays (half-terms, Easter, Christmas, and the long summer break), my schedule opens up completely, allowing me to offer flexible, full-time daytime care and extra walks exactly when you need them most. My Availability Checklist: - Monday – Friday: Late afternoons and evenings - Saturdays & Sundays: Fully available (mornings, afternoons, and evenings) - School Holidays: Full-time flexibility (Half-terms, Summer, Easter, & Christmas) - Bank Holidays: Fully available for flexible daytime bookings Security & Vetting - Fully Insured: I carry comprehensive public liability insurance specifically for dog walking, ensuring complete financial protection and peace of mind for your home and your pet during our time together. - DBS Certified (Update Service): I hold a fully current, official criminal record check registered on the GOV.UK DBS Update Service, allowing you to instantly verify my background at any time for total peace of mind. - Secure Entry: I handle your keys with absolute confidentiality and always double-check that your front door is securely locked and alarms are set both when I leave and when I return. - Gated Transitions: I ensure your dog is securely on their lead before opening your front door to prevent any sudden slips or bolting. Out on the Walk (The Environment) - Secure Equipment: I always use your preferred collar, harness, and lead, checking that all clips are locked and fit snugly before we set off. - Safe Routing: We stick to dog-friendly local parks, quiet pavements, and secure pathways, entirely avoiding busy main roads and unsafe areas. - Vigilant Socialising: I keep a close eye on the environment to anticipate and avoid reactive dogs, off-lead hazards, or traffic, ensuring your dog always feels safe and unstressed. - Weather Awareness: I constantly monitor the British weather, adjusting our walking pace, seeking shade on hot days, or using shorter routes with indoor mental stimulation if it is freezing or pouring rain. "As an educator, I am deeply inspired by the joy of helping others. Bringing my patience, energy, and care out of the classroom and onto the trails to support local families and their beloved dogs is the most rewarding way I can spend my free time." - Vesna

About: I have had a range of different dogs and have always trained my own puppies to sit, stay, paw, rollover (some got it), toilet training, getting them slowly used to noises, ands to walk nicely. I able to walk dogs any days between 8.am and 5pm. I have a cocker spaniel that will come out on a few walks with me to. I have a fenced back garden for the dogs to play in and relax. Feeding when needed and fresh water available all day, I am used to giving medication and any cleaning of pets that is needed.
About: I am a trustworthy and compassionate animal lover who is offering dog walking and dog sitting. Whether your best friend needs a quick or regular walk or just a drop in for a cuddle, I’m here! I have experience of looking after doggies of all sizes, breeds and personalities. I will always tailor my care to your pup’s personality. 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 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: 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: I grew up on a farm around all sorts of animals - from tiny chickens, through pigs to cows and horses. But dogs always had special place in my heart. I just love everything about them! All the sizes, breeds, temperaments... Every is different but the love they give is the same - unconditional. At the moment I'm a proud owner of a 4yo Jack Russell called Poppy. She's the love of my life as she's my first completely own dog. She's my best friend and whole world - I'm sure your dog is the same for you. And I will make sure I will take care of your dog same as I will of my own. Currently I'm officially "unemployed" so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. I have a very flexible schedule as I only started advertising dog walking on apps and websites. I live in a 1 bed flat with access to a big fenced garden, where dogs have spend as much or as little time as they want. In the flat they are allowed to sit on the furniture (if you are happy with that of course), sleep on the bed - whatever they are comfortable with. Also I'm lucky to live near 3 dog friendly parks - Osterley Park (big open space with lake, woodland area and many friendly dogs), Jersey Gardens (small park, with a dog friendly green area) and Syon Park (big Park, with a fenced area specially for dogs). I hold a dog walker insurance that covers boarding as well, plus I'm fully trained in a first aid. I'm working part time from home, so I can spend as much time with your dog, as it needs. My daily schedule it's very flexible so I can adjust easily to your dog needs. I have a fenced garden with extra net on the gate to keep the extra small doggies safe. My room has a baby gate at the door, so the dogs can't escape while I'm going in or out. Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job, and have been doing it for the last 4 years. I adjust my daily/weekly schedule around your and your pet needs. I have a nice, spacious flat and fully fenced garden. Also live on a quiet estate with lots of friendly neighbours. I treat your dog as one of my own and his needs come first over anything else.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and love for pets. I've been taking care of my own dogs at home (in my country) since I was 7 years old with my first dog and I also frequently look after friends and family members pets. This has given me a lot of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m working till from 10am to 6pm weekdays so I’m available at weekends most of the time, Friday after 5pm till Monday night where I study and work from home. I don’t go out very often but will be a pleasure to walk and play out with the dog or cat. I have a very good spaced flat. In my home, pets receive a lot of attention and love, with plenty of playtime, walks, and a safe environment to explore. I follow any specific feeding and care instructions provided by the owner to ensure their routine is maintained. In a pet owner's home, I aim to make their pets feel comfortable and secure, providing the same level of care and attention they receive from their owners. I keep the home tidy, respect all household rules.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve looked after younger pups full of energy, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. My sister’s dog is a regular in my home, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family when they travel. With years of hands-on experience, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a relaxed stroll, I adapt to what makes your pup feel safe and happy. Your furry friend will be cared for like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and belly rubs guaranteed! Looking forward to meeting your pup! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Their bed, sofa or crate is more than welcome and I will adapt to what they are used too. Regular walks with access to outdoor space on my doorstep.
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals, especially dogs and cats. I am a proud owner of two wonderful dogs, Toffee and Oreo, who are a huge part of my family and have given me plenty of hands-on experience in caring for pets. I understand the importance of providing animals with love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where they feel comfortable and happy. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly look after my neighbour’s cat whenever they are away, ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and given plenty of affection. My passion for caring for animals comes naturally, and I am confident in building trust with pets of different personalities and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving every dog and cat the same level of care and attention that I give to my own pets.

About: I’ve been around animals and grown up with them all my life. I’ve had different breeds, big and small, so any dogs are not a problem, no matter how naughty. I currently work flexible hours from home so I am available at all times during the day, weekday and weekend to look after your pets. I will not be able to care for pets in my own home due to already having two cats and family. But am more than happy to enforce any safety rules you have in your own home.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and current pet parent, I know that every dog has a completely unique personality.

I have extensive experience managing different breeds, maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules, and keeping a watchful eye on pet wellness. Having navigated the sudden scares that come with curious pets, I prioritise a safe, controlled environment above all else. When your dog is with me, they aren’t just being watched, they are treated with the absolute dedication, patience, and love of family. As a professional pawrent with a highly flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have ample time for dedicated boarding, frequent potty breaks, and interactive playtime, ensuring your dog receives constant supervision, structured walks, and plenty of love throughout the day. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden and a welcoming home environment shared with my two friendly, small dogs who love making new companions. I am highly experienced in maintaining strict routines, monitoring wellness, and can easily crate your dog if preferred for their comfort.

“We left our nervous rescue dog with Andrea for a week to attend our son's wedding abroad as we knew that he would find a kennel environment distressing. We had been able to meet and greet before we left and it was clear that Andrea had a lovely calm manner with Django, giving him the time to relax with her. We dropped him off the evening before we left, feeling confident that he would be in good hands. We were kept updated with photos and video clips of Django whilst we were away from which we could see that he was happy, relaxed and well cared for and when we picked him up on our return, his greetings and attentions were shared equally between us all, including Andrea!! It is clear that Andrea is kind and reliable and has a genuine love of dogs. We would not hesitate to leave Django with her again (we are already discussing our next trip!) and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Andrea for taking such wonderful care of Django. Until next time!”
“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 :)”

She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy and well taken care of. I appreciate her reliability, communication, and genuine passion for animals. I feel confident and at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands with her. Thank you for all that you do!”
“Cannot fault Stanley’s overnight stay with Abigail! She was sending me pictures every few hours to tell me how he was settling in. Given this was our first time leaving our boy we was apprehensive but we had to convince him to leave with us! Will definitely be going back :)”
“Julian is just a thoroughly nice guy and has a gift for understanding dogs. He looked after my dog, who is quite an anxious chorkie, and he was so good with her. She loved the long walks, play and treats and he even bathed her (she’s no picnic to bathe!) when she got covered in mud in Hadley Wood. He managed to gain her trust and she ended up absolutely adoring him. I cannot recommend Julian highly enough. He is definitely a dog lover and was very skilled at reassuring my anxious doggie. He was extremely responsible and reliable and sent regular photos and updates which really helped me to relax on hols knowing she was in good hands. If Julian will have her back, I would definitely book him again. Thank you Julian!!”
“Emily was superb - easy to speak to in advance and organise our dog’s stay with, Gramps (our dog) seemed to have a great time and Emily kept us up to date with how it was going and took her on lots of nice walks. Couldn’t be happier, will use Emily again.”
“Im grateful for Zoe for looking after Leo this holiday season. Leo has settled well and was happy. Zoe takes him for a daily walk and gives us regular update. Highly recommended! thanks again Zoe.”
“Ale and her family took care of Lando as one of their own. She sent us pictures multiple times a day and provided feedback. A special fact about Alejandra that we appreciate is that she’s bilingual (Spanish/English) and that aspect facilitated our communication and understanding. We are looking forward to working with Alejandra and her family again!”
“Wisha had a lovely time with Lidia on his two night stay - we were sent lots of pictures where he looked very comfortable and happy. He is not a good eater but Lidia managed to get him to eat twice a day which shows he must have been very relaxed. Lidia was very responsive to all our requests which resulted in Wisha having a great stay.”
