“Renata is absolutely wonderful. She took very good care of our Shih Tzu Scribble over three weeks that we were away. Renata, her boyfriend and their dog Fluffy were all very welcoming. They sent us lovely pictures and videos every day. Scribble was allowed on bed and seems to have spent a marvellous time between walks in the park and snoozes with Fluffy. Our dog also had a small health issue - Renata took him to the vet to check that everything was ok giving us peace of mind. We were very happy, Scribble loved it, so hopefully we can travel again soon and will book again!”

“Wow, what can I say about Amanda, her lovely home, and her amazing hospitality! This was the first time I’d ever left Marlo with someone who wasn’t family, and I honestly didn’t feel nervous at all. He stayed with her for 7 days, and she kept me updated throughout my holiday with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Marlowe has allergies and follows a strict raw diet, which Amanda was more than happy to accommodate. She even got him some suitable treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. He absolutely loved playing with her children’s dogs and was genuinely sad when they left; it felt like he was on holiday too! In fact, he seemed so happy there that I think he was a little disappointed to come home. I’ve already booked him in with Amanda again next month for an even longer stay, which says everything. I think I’ve found my forever dog sitter! 💗 Thank you again, Amanda!! Marlowe can’t wait to come back! 🐾”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and honestly can’t imagine life without them🥰 Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each of their personalities. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds including Cocker Spaniels, Belgian Malinois, Shih Tzus, Springer Spaniels, and French Bulldogs, so I’m really comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own and just want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me 🐶❤️ I work full time during the week, but I’m available from Friday evening (6pm) through to Sunday to spend quality time with your dog. Weekends for me are all about walks, playtime, and relaxing together, making sure they feel comfortable and at home. I always aim to create a calm, happy environment where your dog feels settled and well cared for! I live in a dog-friendly flat with a secure fenced garden and no other dogs, so it’s a relaxed space for your dog to settle in. We’re just a short walk from a large field and close to Epping Forest, perfect for walks and fresh air. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, including any diet or medication, to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I will always keep you updated with doggy pics and updates throughout their stay❤️
“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”

“Sunshyne has been great and very caring. I admit that my two cats are not the easiest or the friendliest around people they don't know, as they tend to hide, and it is very difficult to spot them. With patience and dedication, Sunshyne has managed to gain their trust. She has gone above and beyond the detailed discussions I have left her, providing timely information and asking the right questions when she suspected that something could have been wrong. I will definitely rebook, knowing that I can leabe Ebony and Ivory in very safe hands.”

“Sophie is brilliant and we are really pleased to have found somebody we can trust to look after our cat. She had to deal with a lot of renovation work and a fussy cat that isn’t predictable but we felt confident and reassured. Her updates were great, with plenty of information, and we’ll be working with her in the future for sure.”

“Kerri was really quick and easy to communicate with. Even though I had only booked a quick visit for Kerri to feed my two cats, she stays took photos and shared them with me which was really lovely. Especially as it was my first time using this service, it put me at ease and really reassured me. Id be super happy to use again. Thanks!”

We greatly appreciated the daily photos of Puss. We would happily recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and friendly cat sitter!”
“Dalia looked after my ragdoll cat so well and at very short notice. Dalia kept me informed and up-to-date with photos everyday. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
About: For the past 3 years, my passion for animals led me to work as a pet sitter at LFKK in South Africa, where I had the joy of caring for a variety of furry companions. Building trust is paramount to me, ensuring both pets and their owners feel comfortable. This includes keeping entrusted homes sparkling clean. My recent adoption of a wonderful cat has opened my eyes to the unique world of feline friends. This experience has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, particularly the specific needs and preferences of our whiskered companions. I'm now particularly drawn to providing exceptional care for cats in their own homes. This allows them to feel safe and secure in familiar surroundings while receiving the love, attention, and playtime they deserve.
“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: I have had my own dog (who has now sadly passed away) which has Degenerative myelopathy (DM) so I have had experience with dogs with disabilities. I now have a indoor/outdoor cat (not living in Liverpool - at home in essex) which i am always looking after at home :) I am a student at University of Liverpool with a low demand degree (business management) so i am often available and only unavailable during easter and summer break as I will be returning to my home city. I have fenced garden with nice open rooms for your pet to roam while I can keep an eye on them. I live with 6 other university students who are all huge pet lovers and owners (including a veterinarian student). I will take your pet outside for frequent toilet breaks and a walk while giving them lots of cuddles and love too!
About: I provide calm, respectful drop-in care and understand that most cats prefer routine, space and a steady, predictable environment. I always strive to follow their usual schedule so they feel safe, comfortable and undisturbed while you're away. I have four rabbits of my own, so I’m confident caring for small animals and understand the importance of calm, consistent daily routines. I’ve also provided cat drop-in care for a neighbour while they were away on holiday, making sure feeding and basic care routines were followed. I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, with my family owning dogs for the past 17 years, and I’m very comfortable supporting a range of pet care needs when required. Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to help care for their pets when needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and focus on making sure they feel secure, cared for and settled while their owners are away.

Would have no problem leaving her with Jenny again would definitely recommend her such a lovely person makes you feel very welcome.”
“Huge thanks to Frank for taking care of Chip so brilliantly. He took great care in suggesting we meet before the booking, showed us around his doggy-play areas and introduced Chip to his lovely cockapoo, Benny. His space is perfect for dog-sitting and Frank was very thoughtful, considerate and reassuring about the whole process. Chip clearly had a brilliant time when I picked him so we can wholeheartedly recommend Frank.”
“Anely gave Leo a lovely day. He was taken out and fed. She sent photos and regular updates. He was very happy with her, her family and her dog. I would recommend her. Also, she asks you to visit first to check your dog will be happy in the environment.”
“Phoebe was a really sweet girl, who looked after our rescue dog for the day and gave her a walk around the forest with some other dogs. When we took Jenny home, you could tell she was happy & tired! A couple of photos would have been appreciated, but Phoebe was really quick to respond when checking in so very happy with how she cared for our dog 🫶🏼”

“This is now the second time we have used Siân to look after our pup Hugo and we cannot fault her. From the minute he enters her house she’s warm, friendly and inviting. She’s considerate of his feeding times and understands his needs without much direction from us. Siân provided regular updates of how Hugo was getting along whilst she was caring for him that it gave us a sense of relief to know he’s in such good hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Siân again to look after Hugo in the future.”
“Lauren was amazing with Rufus over the 3 days! I received lots of updates and photos throughout and Rufus always came back very happy and tired. Highly recommend and will definitely book again 😃”

About: Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time only on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week. I am able to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and any specific care requirements a pet may have. I always make sure pets receive consistent attention and care as part of my daily schedule. I believe every pet is unique, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether it is feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, or simply providing companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am especially patient with pets that require extra attention, such as young animals, senior pets, or those with special care needs. My goal is to provide a loving and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated and reassured that their pets are in good hands.
“Mary is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond when looking after Lenny, she keeps me in the loop and shows him so much care and love. There is no one else I would trust or want looking after my dog, I cannot recommend Mary enough!”
“Sunshyne is great with Sully - spending the time time with him so he gets to know her, and build confidence on walks. When he meets her out and about he then follows her (and likes to pretend he's forgot about me!). Sunshyne now helps us out every week which puts our mind at ease when both working.”

I pay special attention to puppies under one year old, accepting only one at a time, providing support for house training and direct access to the garden.

About: I am a professional dog carer with over 15 years of experience working with dogs across three countries: 10 years in the UK, 2 years in Australia, and 2 years in my home country of Canada. My passion for animals led me to start my own successful dog-walking business in Canada, where I built strong, lasting relationships with clients and their pets. Throughout my career, I have gained hands-on experience in dog walking, sitting, and behavioral understanding, catering to dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I prioritize safety, trust, and individualized care for each dog, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I currently work with a dedicated group of recurring clients but am looking to expand my services. Whether you need a dependable dog walker, a caring sitter, or someone who truly understands your dog’s needs, I am here to help. Contact me to discuss how I can support you and your furry friend! I do work full time but I have quite a flexible schedule working from home 2-3 days per week. Happy to discuss what you need to ensure it works for both of us. My approach involves more than just feeding and walking. It’s about creating a nurturing environment tailored to their needs. I take the time to get to know them. Introduce myself calmly, allowing them to approach me at their own pace. I like to discuss preferences you/your pet may have, such as diet, exercise, and what a normal day looks like. In my experience pets thrive on consistency. A predictable schedule also helps reduce anxiety and builds trust. I ensure my home is pet-proofed and safe. And the best part of this for me - Spend time playing, cuddling, or simply being present.
“Thank you very much for looking after Cosmo with such affection and diligence. He looked in good form on my return, with his thick coat without any knots! The daily reports for every walk was detailed and covered all details. Kerri kept time every day, as agreed. Very pleased with the service, and highly recommended. I have re-booked her already.”
About: From a young age, I've always had a passion for animals, which led me to take care of pets in my own household as well as those belonging to family and friends. Growing up, I learned the importance of responsibility and compassion while caring for various pets, including dogs, cats, and smaller animals. This experience taught me how to meet their needs, whether it was through feeding, grooming, or providing companionship. Over the years, I’ve developed a keen understanding of different animal behaviors and how to handle them in various situations. Whether it was comforting a nervous pet or ensuring a playful one got enough exercise, I’ve enjoyed every moment spent with them. My journey in pet care has not only strengthened my bond with animals but has also instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and love for all creatures. I’m currently not working as I’m taking care of my toddler and he loves animal, he has been around cat and doggies and I would love to cuddle and give them all our attention and I think will be good for him and them. Creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable at home. I follow your routine, give updates, and treat every pet like family.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years now, both my own and those of friends and neighbours. I have volunteered with various rescue charities and thus have hands on experience with all sorts of doggies 😊 I have a fairly flexible schedule currently, meaning I have plenty of time to fit in around your dog, and early starts and late finishes are not a problem at all. I will cater to whatever your dog needs. Routine is important for dogs, so I will ensure I stick to their routine to cause as little disruption as possible and keep them feeling comfortable. Additionally with cats, I will cater to whatever your cats needs are to ensure they stay as comfortable as possible.

I’ve looked after 4 dogs at a time; 2 bully’s, 1 Corso and the chihuahua. As I live in a house with are garden and garage; it allows for me to have multiple bookings and keep the pets separate during feedings and sleep. If preferred for your pet not to be around other pets due to behaviour reasons; please do let me know so I can cater to your preference and ensure your pet has a comfortable , peaceful, fun experience. I currently attend uni 3-4 days of the week which is less than 20 minutes from the house so your pet won’t be left alone for long durations of time.

“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”
“Ella and Ed have been a pleasure in boarding my River. River is an energetic, fun loving and affectionate staffy who can be a handful sometimes but took to Ella and Ed immediately! I was sent photos and communicated with daily and River loved the attention! She has come home knackered which is a good sign she had a blast. I definitely recommend, and defintely will be booking again. 5 stars across the board from me and River!”
“Wow, what can I say about Amanda, her lovely home, and her amazing hospitality! This was the first time I’d ever left Marlo with someone who wasn’t family, and I honestly didn’t feel nervous at all. He stayed with her for 7 days, and she kept me updated throughout my holiday with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Marlowe has allergies and follows a strict raw diet, which Amanda was more than happy to accommodate. She even got him some suitable treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. He absolutely loved playing with her children’s dogs and was genuinely sad when they left; it felt like he was on holiday too! In fact, he seemed so happy there that I think he was a little disappointed to come home. I’ve already booked him in with Amanda again next month for an even longer stay, which says everything. I think I’ve found my forever dog sitter! 💗 Thank you again, Amanda!! Marlowe can’t wait to come back! 🐾”
“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”

“Evelyn didn’t just care for my dog, she made him a better dog. He learned new tricks and came back much better behaved! He stayed with her for several days while I travelled abroad, and I didn’t have to worry for a single minute. She sent amazing videos, kept me updated throughout, and it was clear she cared for him as if he were her own. I’m so grateful and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“I can't say enough good things about Lauren after she took care of our dog, Timmy. From the moment we met her, we knew he was in great hands. She went above and beyond to keep us updated every step of the way, sending regular updates and the cutest photos that made us smile every time. It was clear she treated Timmy like her own, giving him all the love, attention, and care he needed. Not only was she reliable and professional, but Lauren also made sure that Timmy felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. She really understands dogs and their unique personalities, and Timmy clearly had a blast with her! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the utmost care and affection, I highly recommend Lauren to everyone. She’s simply amazing!”
“Excellent sitter, great communication. Thomas came to meet our dog before the first booking, he offered pick up and drop off, sent regular updates and looked after him really well. Highly recommended.”

“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!”
“Laura was the absolute perfect sitter for our dog Ray. She had previously walked him a few times before boarding him for 3 nights. Ray suffers from separation anxiety and is on meds and so finding someone to leave him with can be stressful. Laura was completely understanding, reassured us throughout and sent us regular updates. Ray couldn’t have been happier while we were away which allowed us to relax and not have to worry about him. We would have no hesitation at recommending Laura.”
