“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”
“I would highly recommend Laurita as a dog carer! She has been incredibly attentive and caring towards my dog, providing him with the love and attention he needs while I am away. 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!”
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 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 ❤️”
“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.”
“Jenette & Husband looked after Marley for me whilst I was on training in London. And safe to say. Marley had the time of his life!! I was getting updated every day with photos/ videos and messages of how Marley was doing and to me it looked like he had lots of fun! Thank you so so much to both of you once again! I now have a very tired dog! Phew! Will be booking again! Thankyou xx”
“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.”
“Chip had an awesome time with Dan! We got lots of updates from him and we could tell that our dog was really happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Dan as a dog sitter and would book him again any time.”
“As soon as I met Beatriz and Matt at the meet and great I knew Russell would enjoy his stay and would be in safe hands there. I could see they were dog lovers they made Russell very welcome Their own dog Luca a cockapoo was friendly and playing with Russell. Beatriz sent me photos during his stay which was lovely I couldn't collect Russell at the time arranged they were accommodating in letting me pick him up later in the day. All in all a very good experience”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Amba. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Would definitely recommend lynn to everone I know. Lynn and cliff were amazing and so loving with my chi pumpkin It felt like I was leaving her with family 🥰 have already booked our next holiday with lynn Felt so happy to leave pumpkin in their capable hands and when we picked her up she was so happy and relaxed ❤️❤️❤️”
“Thank you Yhozmin & Uli for looking after Wilson. The picture you sent across showed he had a great time with you and the family. I would recommend the service to all!”
“Winona and Charlie looked after my dog for just over a week and I couldn’t be more happy with the stay. I got pictures and videos daily as well as updates on how my dog’s day has been. I was able to take my dog round for a first meet where I was able to ask any questions and discuss the dogs routing, which was followed for the duration of the stay. My dog was welcomed into their family and I could not be happier or recommend Winona and Charlie more.”
“Melanie did a fantastic job filling in for a last-minute sitter change. She went out of her way to drive a long distance to get our dog while we were out of town, and kept us updated at every step. She sent us photos and updates daily, took our dog on outings and to a family gathering which our dog loved! We will definitely be using Melanie's service again.”
“We left our bichon Crystal with Jenny for 2 weeks. Jenny is lovely and welcoming. She shared photos of Crystal everyday of their walks plus giving us little updates which we loved. It's obvious to see that Crystal was very happy and well looked after when we picked her up and we were not fully convinced that Crystal wanted to come home with us. Thank you so much Jenny.”

“Marta allowed my very timid cat to get comfortable at her own pace and respected her space and boundaries. I got daily videos sent to me which showed my cat slowly getting more comfortable with her which was very reassuring. Id recommend Marta if you are in need of drop in visits for your cat!”
“I definitely recommend Yasmin! Yasmin was an excellent cat sitter. It was lovely to meet her to explain everything before I went away. She was kind and reassuring. My cat was happy with her visiting while I was away. Yasmin did everything as I asked, playing with, brushing and giving treats to my cat as well as feeding, watering and litter tray-ing. She also sent me lovely photos to show my cat was okay. Yasmin reassured me when I was worried while away and wasnt judgemental about the home not being pristine. She gave me updates after each visit which was lovely. I felt that the service was definitely worth the price and I feel my cat was looked after better than if I had had a friend or relative to ask to look in on her. Thanks so much Yasmin!”
“Veronica is the perfect sitter. We received regular photos and updates with each visit, and all instructions were followed perfectly. She also respected our nervous cat’s space and gave her the time she needed to build trust, which was hugely appreciated.”
“Jordan did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats whilst I was away! It was very clear that he gave them both lots of loving attention and both cats enjoyed his care. He was very professional and friendly. Would recommend to anyone!!”
“Lovely sitter :) beerus was happy and spoilt :) we had lots of updates and videos :) the house was tidy :) she also text questions if she was unsure ( beerus is raw fed )”
“Lauren was great. She was available at very short notice and took good care of my cat while I was away for a few days to attend a family emergency. I highly recommend and would definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi, I am a lifelong cat lover with real soft spot for feline friends. I've always had cats and I am currently a proud mum to three furry babies of my own. As a veterinary nurse , I am experienced in administering medications and caring for cats with additional medical needs. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, and I'll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable , and well cared for while you're away!
About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats through family, friends, and neighbours. I regularly walk, feed, and spend time with dogs in my community, and I’ve also provided overnight stays at a friend’s house to keep pets comfortable in their own routine. I’m often trusted to look after family members’ dogs and cats during both short breaks and longer stays, which has given me experience with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the attention I give to making sure each pet feels happy, safe, and cared for—whether that’s through daily walks, playtime, or extra cuddles. Since I work from home and drive, I can offer a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to fit in visits, walks, or overnight stays that suit your pet’s needs. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, and I can also offer overnight stays when needed. Because I drive, I can adjust to different schedules and locations, making it simple to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by keeping to their usual routines and surroundings. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel secure and relaxed in my care. At home, I live with my three children (ages 10, 15, and 16), two friendly cats, and a tortoise, so I’m very used to a busy, pet-loving household. This gives me plenty of experience managing different animals’ needs calmly and confidently. Pets in my care are never left unattended for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their safety during walks and playtime. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to ensuring both pets and owners have complete peace of mind.
About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues
“Not sure if I can do another review. But wanted to show everyone that Georgia is great and I have booked again and will continue to book when needed. Great communication, and updates are fab! And I can tell she really takes care of my kitty. Egbert loves her!”
About: Hi, my name is Noreen and I have a white&ginger cat named Archie 🐈 I love cat cuddles but Archie is too independent and doesn't like to be showered with affection, just treats 🤣😅 I moved to Harlow in 2021 and work in healthcare for which I am DBS checked. I am a reliable person and will look after your cat as I do mine! 💖

“Ezgi looked after our 15 week old puppy with great care and attention. She met all of his needs and allowed us to have no worries for the day. She sent many updates and pictures throughout the day which was really good. Highly recommend!”
“My Cockapoo Jeanie had a great day at Carina’s house playing with her dog Bella and her daughter. She was treated like part of the family right away and made herself at home in Bella’s comfy bed. Played in the garden throughout the day and went on a nice walk too. It was so nice to receive update photos and messages while I was at work and I felt happy knowing she was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry. Thank you Carina, Jeanie looks forward to her next stay with you 🥰”
“Laurita took care of my 4 month old Bichon Frise puppy. I literally had my puppy barely a week and needed someone to take care of him for the day because I needed to attend an emergency memorial on the Isle of Wight. He was scared when he got there and I was worried but she put my mind at ease and sent me some amazing video clip updates of him playing with her dog and absolutely loving being there and 100% happy. Her dog is so gorgeous as well— he was like an older sibling. She was also kind enough to give him a bath which I’m so grateful for. He looked beautiful when I picked him up. It is clear to see that Laurita is a dog lover and took care of Ceaser like he was her own. I was so lucky to find her and I will definitely be going to her again if I need her to take care of Ceaser. I also was stuck in traffic on the M25 and was going to arrive late to pick him up but she was so flexible. Thank you so much Laurita for taking care of Ceaser, you are a one of a kind, caring, lovely person.”
“Jennette has so much experience with dogs and has 3 adorable dogs 😍 she was great at sending updates throughout the day and when I went collect. Rocky took to her straight away. I will definitely use Jennette again 😊”
“Amazing short notice daycare! With less than 48 hours notice, Daniel managed to fit in a quick meet and greet, take on board all info and provide amazing day care for Doug. Regular photos and videos received. Doug returned happy and tired. Will 100% be rebooking the next time I need doggy day care. Thank you!!”

About: I have had dogs in my family since the age of 13. We had a Briard, Teddy for many years who was an huge dog and was loved very much! My partner has also had dogs in his family since the age of 10 and his family currently have an adorable Shei Tzu called Cookie. We are both active people who go on a walk at least once a day so we would love to assist in taking pressure off of you to walk your dog. We also have already been helping to dog sit for our friends and family when they go on holiday. Your pet will be staying with myself and my boyfriend Charlie. We stay in most weekends (will just need notice). We both work from home in the week and one of us are always home every day of the week. As mentioned we are both active people and walk everyday so would fit in with our schedules. We have a fenced garden which can be used. We have lots of downstairs space with a living room, dining room and kitchen. We can use a crate if needed.

“My puppy, Milo, really enjoyed his first Doggy Daycare Day, he settled in straight away and Clare kept me updated with photos on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Clare's services!”
About: I was born and raised surrounded by dogs and cats. Because I am the youngest, it was always my responsibility, feeding, bathing and walking the dogs. The cats was easy, to look after, making sure they have food and water, and that their litter box was cleaned but always being ready for a cuddle. I work full time, but the great thing about my job, if it's a small dog, they can join me at work but bigger dogs, I do have flexible schedule at work, so can make sure they can go for a quick walk 2-3 times a day, while they staying at home. My weekends are generally free, for dog walking or dog/cat sitting. I will ask the owners to tell me their dog/cat like/dislikes, schedule of feeding times, favourite toys/snacks and also if their dog/cat sleep in their bed with them, I won't object at all. Anything to make sure the dog/cat is relaxed in their home environment, without getting too anxious, while their owners are away.
“Anna and her family are amazing! My dog loves going there - we are a repeat booker! I fully relax and never worry when Milo’s with Anna and she always keeps me updated with photos and videos.”
“Paul was kind enough to meet us before we dropped Teddy so we felt more confident about it. Paul was so lovely with Teddy. He’s taken care of him twice now and is kind, patient, and gentle. I would definitely book Paul again.”

About: Because of my passion for animals, I studied veterinary technician in Turkey. I've had dogs since I was 14 years old. I took care of them as long as they lived, and sometimes I healed and adopted the sick ones. I was with them during their fun times and when they were sick. I have experience in taking care of dogs from puppyhood to old age. I'm not working right now, so I can give them the time they need. I have plenty of time to spare for them in situations that need attention. I live in a coach house. I have 1 extra free room where I can create a safe environment for them. There are parks in the vicinity where they can walk and play.

Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors dogs, gaining practical knowledge in everything from socialization to medication management. I’m not just experienced—I’m passionate. Dogs aren’t just pets; they’re companions, and family. That belief drives my commitment to giving them the best life possible. I am available morning noon and night I can also come and walk your dog whenever you need. I can also do long or short term boarding. I’m an active, animal-loving woman with a real passion for spending time with dogs. I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, plus I’m lucky to live near beautiful open fields—ideal for long, enriching walks and plenty of sniffing adventures! I truly understand that dogs are sensitive, social animals who don’t enjoy being left alone. That’s why I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I love to play, cuddle, and simply be present with them, making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and loved at all times.

“I would highly recommend Laurita as a dog carer! She has been incredibly attentive and caring towards my dog, providing him with the love and attention he needs while I am away. 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!”
“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 ❤️”
“Chip had an awesome time with Dan! We got lots of updates from him and we could tell that our dog was really happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Dan as a dog sitter and would book him again any time.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Amba. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Winona and Charlie looked after my dog for just over a week and I couldn’t be more happy with the stay. I got pictures and videos daily as well as updates on how my dog’s day has been. I was able to take my dog round for a first meet where I was able to ask any questions and discuss the dogs routing, which was followed for the duration of the stay. My dog was welcomed into their family and I could not be happier or recommend Winona and Charlie more.”

“Lisa looked after our two dogs overnight. Lisa dealt with our timid spaniel very well. Our terrier apparently became part of the family straight away! We will definitely be using Lisa 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. I work as a Community Fundraising Manager, managing all the fundraising groups in Herts, Beds and London. We are both qualified Guide Dogs fosterers and sometimes have some of the dogs Ben is training at home. I currently work from home so have plenty of time to play and walk your dogs. 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.
“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! 🐾”
“Andrew as ever was a star looking after Woody. Brilliant to see that when we dropped Woody off, he ran straight to Andrew, very excited to see him, ran indoors and made himself at home. Woody spent 4 days with Andrew, who sent pics and updates in our absence, as well as giving us a full update of Woodys stay when we picked him up. Andrew's a great sitter and more importantly, a friend to Woody.”

“Reached out to Julian last minute, he gladly accepted and was very accommodating to my request to have a meet and greet beforehand. He looked after my dog for an over night stay, took him out for lovely long walks and gave him lots of fuss and attention. Also sent plenty of updates so I knew all was going well. I have already booked Julian in again!”
“Lauren was great, really put in a lot of effort and making teddy feel at home and gave him lots of attention and love. And kept us updated with great pictures and videos making us feel very at ease while away on holiday! Would highly recommend and will be using again x”
“We had a great experience with Ria looking after our labradoodle, Jasper. She is such a lovely, kind, and polite person, and she took wonderful care of him. It was clear Jasper was comfortable and well cared for, which meant a lot to us. We highly recommend Ria as a dog sitter.”
“I was lucky enough to come across Rebecca when my summer holiday boarder due to an emergency had to cancel 48hours before we were due to go away! Rebecca agreed for us to come around on short notice and having told her, that my dog is nervous when meeting other dogs at first, she was super professional when meeting us with her lovely dog Archie. That prevented any potential issues further down the line and I had no hesitations dropping my dog off, she settled in immediately. There is no doubt Rebecca took excellent care of her - she shared pics and comments and went far beyond what could be expected of a boarder plus her updates were quite funny too. Archie was super patient with having another dog in his territory, I could not have wished for more. I will very happily use Rebecca again!”
