“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!”
“Cannot fault Carina in any way, Gianni was so relaxed, and cared for, received so many photo’s and a video of the fun he was having, would definately recommend her, and will use again next time a holiday is booked”
“Hayley and her family were just perfect for our pup. We have a 3month old English bull terrier who stayed for 7 days. Thoughout the whole process we received many daily pupdates in the form of messages, pictures and videos which made it so much easier. Being a pup he had some learning to do, which Hayley listened carefully to our wants, as well as did her own research to help him have the best stay. As he was teething he did have an upset tummy which they sorted out respectfully and she even did research on the best things to support and let us choose so he got better quick. We have now collected a pup who was cared for so lovingly and has come back more social and calm! He was even given some good bye presents which really was the cherry on top of the perfect week. I cannot express how much we recommend Hayley and her loving family!”
“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!”
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.
“A true home away from home describes Chips' week-long stay perfectly. Anely and her family were exceptional hosts, maintaining excellent communication throughout. Chip formed an instant friendship with Anely's dog Brownie, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.”
“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 :)”

“Our dogs, Miso and Kimchi, boarded with Kelly for 1 night. Kelly was fantastic and we are looking forward to using her in future.

“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!”
“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 🤗”
“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! 😺😺😺😺”
“Jo is totally reliable, really communicative, and absolutely lovely to deal with. She took great care of my two cats and I'll be asking for her help in future! Highly recommend 👌”
“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!”
“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! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“April was THE best! She was able to accommodate our last minute request to pop in a few times throughout the day to check on our 2 cats whilst we were away! She was even able to meet us a day before starting the visits to meet them. For each drop in, April provided us with updates, and pictures - the cats seemed to be really comfortable and happy around her each time!”
“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”
“Chardone was really lovely and took great care of Sylvester whilst I was away. I was a bit apprehensive of using a service as I’ve always used friends/family in the past, and have an older shy cat. But after meeting Chardone for a pre-visit I was put at ease, she is really friendly, professional and genuinely cares, and Sylvester warmed up to her, which was lovely to see. Chardone Made sure I was kept up-to-date and sent lots of pictures which was great. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Thank you very much xx”

About: Hello all! My name is Chimma and I’ve been cat sitting on and off 2 years! I haven’t owed any cats of my own but I love them to the point where An ex co worker recommended me to her friend to cat sit for her cat whilst she went on holiday which kick started my cat sitting career. I work 4 days a week as a video assistant and freelance whenever I can
About: I’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember, I was born into a home with three cats, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently look after two cats, including one I recently adopted, Marvel and Zeus, and I absolutely love getting to know their different personalities and routines. Living with cats has given me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, grooming, and making sure they feel comfortable and settled in their environment. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their own space, and I always take a calm, patient approach to make sure they’re happy and well looked after.
“Alicia looked after our three cats while we were away for over a fortnight. She proved an excellent house sitter who genuinely cared for our cats. Before we went on holiday we felt very guilty leaving them for so long but were so reassured when we saw how happy they were with Alicia that we were able to enjoy our holiday without any concerns. Alicia frequently kept in contact with us, giving us updates on our cats which enabled us to have a guilt-free holiday knowing they were in good hand. Our cats loved having her stay. When we arrived home the house was spotless. Thank you Alicia.”
“Nina was absolutely great! We got regular updates on our cat Mint. Who really took to Nina, she loves hanging out with people but doesn’t normally get on their laps. Was very happy on our return. Nina was very flexible and helped out with some deliveries, which we were most grateful for and also helped with watering and left the house immaculate. We’ll be in touch for any future house sits- Nina was a superstar!”

About: I lost both my beagles during the last two years but people always commented on how well behaved and loving they both were. I have always had a deep connection with animals and have owned cats, guinea pigs, tropical fish, hens as well as my beautiful beagles. Your doggies will be loved and cared for, they will have a home from home with me with plenty of cuddles. I currently work from home part time as a psychotherapist and work from my practice in Hertford once a week for a couple of hours. I spend most of my time at home gardening and keeping fit. I have a fully fenced secure garden which your fur babies can use at anytime. I have cared for other people's dogs at home now for 10 years but had a break to finish off my training as a therapist. I miss going on doggy walks since I lost my two beagles so im very keen to start walking again.I work very few hours but during those times my son is available to keep an eye on things.

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.

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 used to have a dog of my own—a beautiful mix of German Shepherd and Caucasian Shepherd—which gave me hands-on experience with large, strong, and intelligent breeds. Since then, I’ve regularly cared for puppies and small dogs for family and friends, building confidence with different temperaments and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after. I take pride in creating a calm, friendly environment where dogs can relax and be themselves—and they usually warm to me very quickly. I’m very flexible with my schedule and can usually accommodate a range of days and times. Weekends are generally unavailable, but I’m happy to take bookings in advance when possible. When I had my dog, he always had access to the garden and went out for walks 3–5 times a day, which suited his size and energy levels. I made sure he was fed a healthy, balanced diet with appropriate treats, and I paid close attention to his overall wellbeing. I also kept things clean and comfortable at home—for example, I’d always wipe his paws before coming inside. I carry that same level of care, routine, and attention to detail into every dog I look after. Use the £15 off promo code: LUIZAB73795

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: Hi, I’m Amber! I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up with pets throughout my life, giving me plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. My passion for animal welfare led me to study Animal Care at college, where I gained practical knowledge in animal health, behaviour, nutrition, and husbandry. After completing my qualification, I volunteered at a zoo before going on to work there as a zookeeper for a year. During this time, I cared for a wide variety of animals, developing a strong understanding of their individual needs, routines, and wellbeing while working to the highest standards of animal care. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same love and care as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a waitress and bartender on a zero-hours contract, which gives me a great deal of flexibility. I usually work in the evenings, meaning I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and pet care. My work schedule is planned in advance, so I’ll always be able to let you know my availability ahead of time and ensure your pet receives the care and attention they need.

About: Hello! My name is Chimma and I love taking care of pets :) Some experience I have is dog walking, washing dogs, looking after senior dogs and cats mainly, but prefer to look after older dogs as I feel like they need a bit more attention and nurturing I work from home 2 days a week and do not work Fridays so I’m more than happy to dog sit/cat sit when needed. I can travel anywhere around London and Hertfordshire so travel isn’t a problem to drop in It’s imperative that each pet is cared for in a way that suits them; safety measures include having removal of anything toxic and life threatening, keeping the main areas of the house clear of toys pets may have used and making sure everywhere is to a high level of standards for cleanliness.
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: 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. I work hybrid in the food industry. If I'm working out and about its not a long day only 5 hour periods. I also work from home sometimes as hybrid. Your fur baby can treat my home as their own. 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 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!

Tim is looking forward to his next stay at with Nicola. We recommend Nicola highly.”

“Wholeheartedly recommend Andrea to look after your dog!! Gino had a great stay with Andrea & while I was away, stayed in contact sending over pictures & videos. Gino isn’t really away from me for long periods of time but I’m so glad I left him with Andrea as he really had a home from home and thoroughly enjoyed his time there! Thank you again Andrea, he will be back!! 💖”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life so I have all the experience needed to look after your pets. I am most comfortable around dogs and cats. I recently lost my own dog of 10 years, so I am eager for some furry company 🐶🤍 My experience comes from my own pets, pets I've looked after in the UK and Australia. I have pet sat via sitter apps like TrustedHouseSitters, Rover, Pawshake and MadPaws. I have done pet sitting here and there in my spare time and whilst travelling last year. I live in a house with a secure front and back garden and with my mum and partner. When new pets enter my home, they are given the opportunity to roam around freely whilst I watch them, to see where they feel more secure and comfortable. I work 9-5 Monday-Friday but I have all major school holidays off to care for pets full time. When I am at work, dogs are able to use the dog flap that is available to go potty during the day when I am at work. Pets are kept an eye on via 2 pet cameras I have in the living room and the kitchen. If I am at work, dogs are left alone between 8am - 5pm maximum. I have a car for any emergencies where driving is needed. I offer pet boarding overnight or just during the day and also offer coming to your home. I offer walks when looking after dogs included in the price, as well as grooming for any pets. I have experience with shy and bubbly pets and know when to give them affection and when not to. I only look after 1 or 2 pets from the same family at any one time. I never mix pets with pets they don't know so they feel at ease. DOGS 🐶 I love all kinds of dogs, they bring a ray of sunshine to our lives! I have experience with a range of dog sizes. I am very affectionate with dogs and have a calm manner and a calm home, I also love to play with them and their toys. I have a nice medium sized secure garden for dogs to run around in as well. I do have a medium sized dog flap for easy garden access. I live in walking distance to a forest / field for lovely walks. ❤️ Walks will be anywhere between 30 mins - 1 hour. I normally do one in the morning, one in the evening. CATS 🐱 I have taken care of cats whilst in Australia and Tasmania. I am comfortable around cats and I also grew up with 3 when I was younger. I look after my partners cat from time to time so I will treat your cat like one of the family. I am very affectionate and calm when I am around pets and create a safe environment for cats and kittens. ❤️ I do work full time Mon - Fri 8-5 so dogs and cats that are okay to be left alone for a work day are best. I do have a secure garden and a medium sized dog flap for toilet needs. If house sitting, I also need dogs and cats that are okay to be left alone Mon - Fri 8-5. I have a fenced off garden, a medium sized dog flap and secure home in a quiet area opposite a quiet forest. My home is dog friendly.
“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.”
“This is the second time Kiki has been to stay with Abigail and her family. They take such good care of her and Kiki always has the best time there with lots of walks and attention! I was worried about leaving her for such a long time, but Kiki was right at home and comfortable when I came to pick her up.”
“I honestly could not recommend Ellie and Ben more, even if I tried!!! From meeting them prior, they made me and my precious girl feel so so welcome and comfortable. Ellie and Ben had Lulu for a long weekend, sent regular updates, photos and videos, and showed her so much love - just like they would their own. Both work with dogs for a living, so you just instantly feel so comfortable leaving your precious fur babies with them!! I know Lulu has had the best time, and I’m sure she cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much both of you, you will always be top of my list 🩷”
“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.”
“Georgia was fantastic and what an idyllic setting. Patch enjoyed his first time on a barge, but it won’t be his last as he’s going back for a couple of weeks in August. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Highly recommended! Otto had a great stay with Genevieve and her dog Ginny for a few days while we were away. Really well looked after, great communication and Otto will definitely be staying with them again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!!”
