“Maria looked after Pepper so well for us, sending regular photos and updates. She even gave her a bath to make her feel fresher in the heat. Pepper came home calm and refreshed as if she too had been on holiday😀”
“Caroline is very responsive and kind. Ducky looks so happy in all the pictures. She gives regular updates and check in with the you every time. Can’t recommend her enough, a big big thank you ❤️”
“We are very grateful for the way Luke looked for our Jack. He sent us daily updates. We were happy our boy was happy. We could not ask for a better sitter for our Jack. Luke has been amazing! See you next time, Luke!”
“Mina took care of our spring/collie cross 4yr old over three days. A good summary is our dog did not want to leave! Mina was absolutely lovely with her throughout. Very professional and affectionate towards our dog. Plenty of exercise with quality walks and fantastic communication throughout the stay. Couldn’t ask for more and would definitely recommend.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 15 years. Our family has always had pets, including a 15-year-old Fox Terrier, a French Bulldog, a cat and a parrot. I now live in London with my Chihuahua, Rocky, who is calm, friendly and loves other dogs. For the past year, I have been actively providing pet sitting services in London. Before moving to the UK, I spent over two years attending weekly dog training classes with my French Bulldog in Estonia. Those classes gave me valuable hands-on experience and a strong understanding of dog behaviour, body language and positive training methods. I know that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always adapt my care to their individual needs. My priority is to make every dog feel safe, relaxed and at home while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work as a freelance marketing specialist, which allows me to work remotely from home. This means I spend most of my time at home and can provide dogs with plenty of attention, companionship, regular walks and a consistent routine throughout the day. Their comfort, safety and happiness are always my priority. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, smoke-free flat with my friendly Chihuahua, Rocky. I only accept pets from one household at a time to provide a calm and low-stress environment. Every dog is introduced carefully, has constant access to fresh water, regular walks, plenty of attention and a comfortable place to rest. I always follow each owner’s feeding routine and any special instructions, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their dog’s stay.
“Shishir and Marion took great care of Alfie, from the start they saw I was anxious about leaving him with a strangers and did everything they could help reassure me, allowing me to schedule a few meetings and greets to get to know them and for them to get to know Alfie. Throughout my stay I got daily updates and pictures and felt constantly reassured he was happy whilst I was enjoying my holiday. I would book them again without a doubt and highly recommend them!”
“I had a lovely experience with Jennifer. It was lovely meeting her and her husband they are very warm and welcoming, I immediately felt as ease. Jennifer’s communication is fabulous and I really appreciate all the photos she sent me of my dog’s progress. I like her way of doing things they were just like I’d do at home and it makes me super confident that my Dafe is in the best care! I booked an overnight stay as I’d like to use Jennifer more long term so I wanted to see how my Dafe got on with her and her family. I’m so confident with continuing on with her. Thanks Jennifer!!!!! You’re awesome. Just an additional note: when I went to pick up my dog he was just super chilled. It took me back a little - granted he was happy to see me, but not in an overly excited was like he was ready to go home. He looked like he could have comfortably gone back to bed, which MADE MY DAY!!!!!!! I must also add that Jennifer’s house is beautiful, it’s peaceful, SUPER SPOTLESS WOW! and overall warm. It’s definitely an environment and family you’d want your dog to be with. 10/10!”
“We couldn’t recommend Zsuzanna more! What a kind and caring sitter. We needed to drop Annie off earlier than planned and she was more than accommodating, felt instantly at ease which was perfect as we had a busy day and couldn’t check our phones. Seeing the updates later was lovely and Annie obviously had the best time playing games. She slept all afternoon when we got home, happy dog!”
“We couldn't be happier with Elizabeth's care for our dog, Charlie! Over the 5 days we were away, she was incredibly communicative and responsive. We always knew exactly how things were going, and she sent so many wonderful photos that genuinely put our minds at ease. She was gentle and kind from the very start, and her accommodating nature made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. It was clear Charlie was in loving, capable hands the entire time. Elizabeth is without a doubt a great dog sitter, and we will absolutely book with her again. We recommend her without any hesitation! 🐾♥️”
About: I've been working at dog days cares and taken care of more then 30 dogs of varies size and breed. I have been home sitting and boarding friends' dog on and off for a few years. I am a veterinary student and gained animal behaviour certification, which allows to not only take good care of the pets, but also keep them safe and healthy, and provide some behaviour training when possible. I will be at home full time and will be able to spend lots of time playing with your dog, walking and take outdoor for toilet break. I won't take boarding more then 5 days if it's the first time I meet your dog. I prefer to meet your dog first via a walk / day care service for the first time to get to know them. I have no pet in my household at the moment and will only take dogs from the same household at a time. Your dogs will be prioritised when under my care. Out door walking will all be on leash at first, only when I know them well after a while and at dedicated off leash spaces will I start walking off leash.
“If I (or Max) could give more than 5 stars we would. This was the second time Danielle has had Max and she was absolutely fantastic, going over and beyond. Updates every day, loads of care and affection, the list is endless. Max feels right at home and you can ensure to have a piece of mind and guarantee your dog is in safe hands. Danielle isn’t just any sitter, she’s the best! Thank you so, so much.”
“Sohee was wonderful with my nervous rescue when she went for an overnight stay recently. She is very patient and calm, just what my dog needs, and kept me informed of how things were going, which was really reassuring. I will definitely book Sohee again would highly recommend her.”
“Ninja seems to have had a lovely time with Marta. He was exhausted when he got home! Was nice for us to receive regular updates with photos and videos of what he had been up to while we were away. Thanks Marta!”
“Big thank you to Sammi and her boyfriend! She looked after Honey so well — she came home incredibly happy and relaxed. It’s clear she was given lots of love, playtime, and plenty of walks. Communication was fantastic throughout, with regular updates. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Kirstin was amazing with Loki, I could tell he loved his time there. She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which was really nice to see! Her home is very pet-friendly and Loki seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was really easy to communicate and book with, responds quickly, and was accommodating when I needed to change the pick up time. I could tell Loki was genuinely well cared for and given lots of love and attention. I would happily leave Loki in Kirstin’s care again and would 100% recommend her!!”

“We have two cats (one blind and one diabetic), and Sena was absolutely brilliant with both of them. Super friendly, efficient and totally reliable - she did everything exactly as agreed, including giving our diabetic cat her injections at the right times and sending regular photo updates. The cats clearly loved her company too. We’d definitely book her again and happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Ania watched over Miles for a few days, she kept in touch with us, sent photos of Miles daily and also helped us with putting out the bin for collection. We’d definitely use Ania again as we felt she was v trustworthy :) ”
“Very happy with the service (second booking with Antoniya). Antoniya went above and beyond when our flight was cancelled and couldn’t get home and looked after our fur babies for an extra few days at very short notice Will book again”
“Anna has been nothing short of excellent when taking care of out cats. She was very quick to understand our circumstances and was immediately happy to accommodate. She ensured all three of the cats were fed around the times we required, and sticking around to ensure they feel comforted that they're not alone (whilst we were away). Anna also ensured (without any prompt) that any deliveries outside the house were kept inside so we really appreciated that. We can't be more thankful for Anna and her care! We will be sure to book Anna again in the future!”
About: I’ve had cats all my life growing up, but admittedly I’ve not had one as a pet for a while. I have a decent sized flat with plenty of space and a balcony they can chill on if you trust them to do so. My neighbours two floors down cats love the balcony and bird watching from it.
“3rd time using Emma as a cat sitter and I wish I could give her 10 stars. She is an absolute stars. My cats love her so much and you can trust her around your pets, she take time to pets them and give them all the love. She will look after them like it was hers. I love the daily update and picture Highly recommend using Emma as a cat sitter! Booked already for our next trip ”
“I can't praise her highly enough. Lovely girl, great service and would 100% feel happy leaving my precious furry baby with her again. So kind and thoughtful. She checked in with me daily and gave me updates and photos. Pretty sure my little cat will miss her too.”
“I would recommend Haiqing very highly. She has done everything we asked, always came bang on time and is very friendly. She provided us with lots of updates while we were away. Will certainly be using her again for future cat sitting.”
About: As a cat owner of 10 years, I know that felines rule the house! I’m well-versed in reading subtle cat body language, maintaining strict feeding routines, keeping litter trays spotless, and knowing exactly when they want affection or just some quiet space. Whether your cat is an energetic explorer or a senior who loves to lounge, they’ll be in safe, patient hands.
About: Hi, I’m Natalie, a devoted animal lover with more than 10 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. Having always been surrounded by pets—both my own and those of friends and family—I understand just how much trust, love, and attention dogs need, especially when their owners are busy. What sets me apart? I’m not just a passionate dog walker; I’m fully committed to making pet care my lifelong career. I'm DBS-checked, insured, and deeply invested in providing the safest and most joyful experience for your furry family member. As a trusted, local companion, I’ll treat your dog like family, ensuring they’re well-exercised, happy, and secure in my care. Let’s make your dog’s walks the highlight of their day! After years of working in an office, I decided to follow my passion: spending my days outdoors, walking, and caring for animals. Stepping away from the desk has given me the chance to bring energy, enthusiasm, and full-time commitment to dog walking. Every week, my schedule is fully devoted to keeping pups happy, active, and well-cared for—whether it's a local walk, a day of play, or simply being a reliable friend for your pet. With a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for family pets, I understand the importance of providing safe, attentive, and loving care. In 2008, after extensive research, my family and I welcomed our first golden retriever, Jupe, and in 2011, we rescued Dylan, another wonderful golden. They were best buddies who taught me so much about what it means to truly care for dogs, from their daily needs to understanding their unique personalities. Both were with us for nearly 13 years, and the time spent with them has been invaluable to my understanding of pet care. I’m lucky to have a spacious, fenced-in garden and easy access to beautiful parks and fields nearby, making every walk an adventure and a secure space for play. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a caring, safe, and fun environment that pets thrive in!

About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and studied canine behaviour for two years. I am responsible, caring, and consistent in my approach, and I work hard to support positive behaviour. While not a specialist, I have strong foundational knowledge and ensure every dog in my care is well-behaved and well-looked-after. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I work full-time as a dog walker/handler, so my days are structured around walks, feeding, training, and providing consistent care. I also have two small dogs of my own—Sheeva (12) and Poppy (11)—which keeps me experienced and engaged every day. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit in around life. It is my routine, and I truly enjoy giving each dog the attention, structure, and affection they need.

There’s plenty of indoor space for them to relax, as well as a fully fenced, safe garden for toilet breaks and supervised outdoor play. I maintain a calm, structured routine and make sure each dog receives the right balance of attention, exercise, and affection.

About: I’ve been taking care of three outdoor cat's since I was in 9th grade. I also live with a family member who had a cat in the UK before. We’re able to at least have one person with the cat at all times for boarding and I don’t mind doing drop ins or staying overnight to keep them company!
About: I’m a cat mama to two 8-year-old furry babies, Bella and Bliss, so caring for cats is second nature to me. I’m naturally an introvert, which means I’m very comfortable in calm, quiet environments and I connect easily with more reserved or shy pets. I’m reliable, tidy and respectful of your home, and I always make sure you get plenty of updates so you feel reassured while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets cats and treats them like family, I’d love to look after your furry one too.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every dog. When your dog is with me, I’ll treat them like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences, so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and affection.

“Louis looked after our 2 year old cockapoo this week and we came back to a very happy dog! Even while working from home, Louis took breaks throughout the day to keep our dog entertained, and provided us with lots of updates. There is a lovely big field near him as well which was a beautiful convenient spot for walks. We would definitely use Louis again.”
About: Since losing my dog a couple of years a go at the grand old age of 15, I’ve been looking after pets for friends and family since. I live right next door to a lovely park, plenty of fields and trails. Happy to put the mileage in if your pet requires it. I’m patient and dogs seem to love me. Happy to help with training also. Will also look after cats if required. I work from home at present and I can pick and choose my hours. I can adjust my routine to suit your pet if needed, no problem at all. If your pet is unsociable I can walk early and late if necessary. I have a large flat with a safe and secure balcony. I am 30 seconds away from a park, 5mins away from fields and there are a number of trails and woodland walks close by. If required to sit in at your place, I am clean, quiet and respectable. Happy to be adaptable to your pets needs. Whatever it takes to make the feel safe and secure.
About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, having grown up with pets throughout my childhood, and I currently have a dog of my own. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, so looking after dogs comes naturally to me. I absolutely adore dogs, and every dog that stays with me is treated as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so i provide plenty of love, patience, care and attention to ensure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while you're away. I believe dogs thrive when they're given both physical exercise and mental stimulation, so regular walks, playtime and enrichment are all part of the care i provide. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls or simply lots of cuddles on the sofa. My goal is to make sure they enjoy themselves just as much as you enjoy your time away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog will be cared for with kindness, integrity and genuine affection every step of the way. I'm currently on my summer break from working in a school, so for the next six weeks I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog. After the holidays, I'll continue to be available on weekends. Your dog's routine will always be my priority, with walks twice a day as standard, and three times a day if they enjoy extra exercise or need additional stimulation. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to adapt to their usual routine and energy levels to ensure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. Your dog's safety, happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely play, explore and go to the toilet whenever they need. I also have plenty of toys and enjoy spending quality time playing games and providing mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and engaged. I have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you would prefer them to have their own quiet space. Every dog in my care will be treated like a member of the family, receiving lots of love, patience and attention in a safe, calm and caring home. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medication, walks and routines so your dog feels as settled and comfortable as possible.
“Leaving Bailey with Romina and her father was brilliant. She went on loads of walks through the day and I got back a happy, well exercised pup. Will definitely be asking her for help whenever I can't take Bailey with me.”
About: Hey! My name is Sena, I’m a lawyer working part time in the city, now based in Radlett where I get to enjoy the outdoors and spend more time around lots of animals. I grew up in a home with several pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. I’m confident, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! :) At home I have a 14year old ginger tabby cat called Simba, who has been with me since he was a kitten and a 4 year German Shepherd cross Akita named Ralph :) Ralph has helped me build strong experience in handling larger, energetic dogs, I work Tuesday- Thursdays in the city. My partner and I alternate our work from home days so Ralph and Simba are never left alone Your dog will be looked after in a calm, loving home with plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, plus regular walks in the local open fields here in Radlett for exercise and fresh air. There’s lots of playtime, interaction, and company depending on your dog’s personality and energy levels — whether they’re active or prefer a quieter pace. I’m happy to follow all dietary requirements closely and stick to your dog’s normal routine. Brushing and basic grooming can also be included if needed. To keep things stress-free, your dog will be kept separate from my own dog, Ralph, so they can fully relax and feel at home in a calm environment.

About: Hi! I’m a 37-year-old dog lover offering a calm, caring home for your dog. I grew up with a lovely Shi-Tzu and two cats, so I’ve been around animals from a young age. I now have my own 4-year-old Sheltie, who is incredibly sweet and gentle. She is naturally shy, so I’ve learned how to handle and support nervous dogs with patience, kindness, and gentle training. Watching her grow in confidence has been very rewarding. I am currently at home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a secure enclosed garden with grass for toilet breaks and fresh air between walks. My partner is also home part of the week, and we enjoy going on dog walks together. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I will care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am always at home, so can take the dog out fairly easily and keep company. We then have a daily walk after work in the evening. I have a enclosed garden with grass for their natural needs, and am walking distance of parks and meadows such as Whetstone Stray and Brook Farm open space.
“My pup Mango loved her daycare with Keren! Keren is so lovely and caring and I was very happy to leave Mango with her for the day. She didn’t want to leave and tried to jump out of her carrier back to Keren’s house! ❤️”
About: I've been caring for my darling cockapoo Teddy (that's him in the picture!) for 4 years now. I'm an empty-nester living with my husband, and ever since we've gotten Teddy our flat has become more and more of a dog heaven, with plenty of dog beds, toys, equipment and supplies at the ready for whatever he needs, and whatever your dog might need too! I work part-time as an in-home hairdresser for people in the local community, so am well acquainted with the area, but also have the flexibility and time to really spend looking after your loved one as best as I can, providing them with a comfortable and enriching environment. We live in a three bedroom flat and love for dogs to roam around, be on our furniture, and truly feel at home. Right next door is a large public park, so I am able to take dogs out on walks where they can run around and play. Do feel free to ask me any questions, I'd be happy to chat about any accommodations or requirements you might need to truly make your little loved one happy, and you feel at ease. I'm an empty nester with a part-time job as a hairdresser for local clients. This gives me a lot of free time, some of which I spend caring for my cockapoo Teddy, but which I've realised also sets me up perfectly as a dog walker and sitter for other people in the local community! I'm pretty flexible with times, and can dog sit from 7am-5pm as needed. Our flat is safe and suitable for small to medium sized dogs, and we've made sure to furnish rooms with plenty of dog beds and toys, with nooks and crannies for them to play around in, relax or doze off. We are well stocked already with various dog food and kibble, absorbent pads, leads, dog shampoo and more, so are very well prepped to accommodate the needs of your pet. As mentioned, we live next door to a public park where I take my cockapoo Teddy daily, and can walk dogs either on or off a lead as preferred.

About: Hey! My name is Sena, I’m a lawyer working part time in the city, now based in Radlett where I get to enjoy the outdoors and spend more time around lots of animals. I grew up in a home with several pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. I’m confident, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! :) At home I have a 14year old ginger tabby cat called Simba, who has been with me since he was a kitten and a 4 year German Shepherd cross Akita named Ralph :) Ralph has helped me build strong experience in handling larger, energetic dogs, I work Tuesday- Thursdays in the city. My partner and I alternate our work from home days so Ralph and Simba are never left alone Your dog will be looked after in a calm, loving home with plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, plus regular walks in the local open fields here in Radlett for exercise and fresh air. There’s lots of playtime, interaction, and company depending on your dog’s personality and energy levels — whether they’re active or prefer a quieter pace. I’m happy to follow all dietary requirements closely and stick to your dog’s normal routine. Brushing and basic grooming can also be included if needed. To keep things stress-free, your dog will be kept separate from my own dog, Ralph, so they can fully relax and feel at home in a calm environment.

Happy to be adaptable to your pets needs. Whatever it takes to make the feel safe and secure.

About: While I don't have formal pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for my own senior cat, so I'm well-versed in the daily routines, patience, and love that pets deserve.

“Julia is so lovely with our Yorkie Sophie. We know Sophie is in safe hands. She always comes back from walks with Julia tired and happy :) Julia is very good with contact, and very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.”
About: I have successfully trained my puppy, so much so he won’t jump up at the door anymore! Will treat your dog like it is my own and send lots of piccys I work remotely on flexible hours able to take various breaks within the day which is why I have my availability set for when I’m not in the office. I can walk and check in various times of the day or even bring my laptop along when house sitting. I will ensure your dog is not left unattended and remains stimulated with walks and playing. So hopefully they are tired for when you’re home!!
“Julia was great with Monty. She came to visit and walk him with a view to booking future walks and house sitting. Unfortunately Monty injured his paw on our driveway running out to greet her and could then go for a walk but Julia helped me to inspect his paw and played / spent time with him inside instead.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our family always had either a dog or a cat, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’, neighbours’ and family members’ pets while they were away, giving them peace of mind that their pets were safe, happy and well cared for. For the past year, I’ve been providing pet sitting and care professionally, offering reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering routines or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable. My goal is always to ensure both pets and their owners feel happy, confident and relaxed. I currently work full-time as a Social Media Manager, mostly from home, so I have good flexibility with days and times for pet sitting or dog walking. I don’t currently offer overnight boarding or staying in clients’ homes, and I don’t take pets into my own home due to having two indoor cats who keep each other company. My services include dog walking and cat/dog sitting for up to 8 hours during the day. I can be flexible with timing to suit individual needs, but I don’t provide overnight stays.
About: I have been with pets since my childhood. Bring with them since then gave a really good insight how to care them and the general behaviour of a dog. This insight and years of experience helps me to deal with any dog I am currently working from home. I stay at home all the time. I go on grocery run along with pets. Enjoy long drives with pets I have single bed room flat surrounded by nice pretty garden around. Its easy and spacious for me to go one nice small walks and the area is very pet friendly.
About: Animals have been central to my life for as long as I can remember, growing up alongside dogs and cats and developing a genuine passion for their care and wellbeing. I began formally pet sitting and dog walking at 16, and have since built up years of experience caring for the pets of neighbours, family, and friends. I currently have two companions of my own. Gatsby, my two year old cavapoo, and Zelda, my 3 year old cat, both of whom I raised from puppyhood and kittenhood respectively. This means I'm well versed in the particular needs of younger and adolescent animals, from high energy play and socialisation to patience during those early settling in stages. Before Gatsby, my family owned Sancho, our Rottweiler, so I'm equally comfortable and confident handling and walking larger breeds. Having owned my own pets, I know deeply how much our animals mean to us, they're our family. That understanding drives my commitment to providing the same standard of love and care that I give to Gatsby and Zelda to every animal I take care of. Whether your pet needs a reassuring presence while you're away, regular walks, or simply some extra company, you can count on me to treat them as my own 😁 Having just finished university, I'm currently very flexible and able to tailor my availability almost entirely around your pet's needs. Whether you need early morning walks, daytime check ins, or regular weekly arrangements, I can work around what suits you and your animal best. I try my best to accommodate bookings at short notice where possible. As I share my home with my own dog and cat, I'm unable to offer boarding or sitting at my own property. This ensures no unnecessary stress for your pet or mine. Instead, I come to you, which I find is often the least disruptive option for animals anyway, as they get to stay in the comfort of their own familiar environment. For dog walking, I'm happy to accommodate early/late walks. My own dog Gatsby is very friendly and can come along to keep your fur baby company if they would enjoy that. I own my own car, so I'm also able to take dogs to new and stimulating locations such as forests, nature reserves, and open parks, if they're comfortable with car travel and up for an adventure. Am happy to dog sit/walk for long periods of time if so (half-day, or full-day outings depending on the dog). I would accommodate the furry friend entirely on their own needs <3 Whatever the arrangement, my priority is always that your animal feels safe and genuinely cared for.
“Amazing walker. Our dog loved meeting Dani and would get excited every time she came round! The walks were carried out well, with pictures and a full Rover report card sent through. Contact with Dani was very good, with prompt replies. Highly recommend.”
“Rebecca and Francesca are AMAZING! Arlo, my dog, absolutely adores them and has the best time on every walk! They even run with her - which she loves! Rebecca arranged for us to meet before she started walking Arlo, so we could all get to know each other, and we were all comfortable! She is really friendly and so good with Arlo and all the dogs we met on the way! She let's me know how each walk has gone, takes photos of all the fun they have together and brings Arlo back knackered and happy! We both feel really lucky to have found them! Thank you for being awesome!”
About: I have looked after my own dogs and cats, as well as my friends and family. Always truly happy to spend time and look after them. Most of the week I work from home, and I have a flexible schedule. I always go for a walk during my lunch break and enjoy spending time outdoors. It would be great to have a dog companion :) I don’t have any pets at home, so all the space and attention will be dedicated towards your little dog or cat. I am flexible and happy to come towards you if needed.
“Romina is lovely and has been great with my very elderly Labrador who needs patience and care! She stepped in to help at short notice, was punctual and reliable and Molly seemed to enjoy her walks. Would book again - many thanks.”

“Maria looked after Pepper so well for us, sending regular photos and updates. She even gave her a bath to make her feel fresher in the heat. Pepper came home calm and refreshed as if she too had been on holiday😀”
“We are very grateful for the way Luke looked for our Jack. He sent us daily updates. We were happy our boy was happy. We could not ask for a better sitter for our Jack. Luke has been amazing! See you next time, Luke!”
“I had a lovely experience with Jennifer. It was lovely meeting her and her husband they are very warm and welcoming, I immediately felt as ease. Jennifer’s communication is fabulous and I really appreciate all the photos she sent me of my dog’s progress. I like her way of doing things they were just like I’d do at home and it makes me super confident that my Dafe is in the best care! I booked an overnight stay as I’d like to use Jennifer more long term so I wanted to see how my Dafe got on with her and her family. I’m so confident with continuing on with her. Thanks Jennifer!!!!! You’re awesome. Just an additional note: when I went to pick up my dog he was just super chilled. It took me back a little - granted he was happy to see me, but not in an overly excited was like he was ready to go home. He looked like he could have comfortably gone back to bed, which MADE MY DAY!!!!!!! I must also add that Jennifer’s house is beautiful, it’s peaceful, SUPER SPOTLESS WOW! and overall warm. It’s definitely an environment and family you’d want your dog to be with. 10/10!”
“We couldn't be happier with Elizabeth's care for our dog, Charlie! Over the 5 days we were away, she was incredibly communicative and responsive. We always knew exactly how things were going, and she sent so many wonderful photos that genuinely put our minds at ease. She was gentle and kind from the very start, and her accommodating nature made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. It was clear Charlie was in loving, capable hands the entire time. Elizabeth is without a doubt a great dog sitter, and we will absolutely book with her again. We recommend her without any hesitation! 🐾♥️”
About: I've been working at dog days cares and taken care of more then 30 dogs of varies size and breed. I have been home sitting and boarding friends' dog on and off for a few years. I am a veterinary student and gained animal behaviour certification, which allows to not only take good care of the pets, but also keep them safe and healthy, and provide some behaviour training when possible. I will be at home full time and will be able to spend lots of time playing with your dog, walking and take outdoor for toilet break. I won't take boarding more then 5 days if it's the first time I meet your dog. I prefer to meet your dog first via a walk / day care service for the first time to get to know them. I have no pet in my household at the moment and will only take dogs from the same household at a time. Your dogs will be prioritised when under my care. Out door walking will all be on leash at first, only when I know them well after a while and at dedicated off leash spaces will I start walking off leash.
“Ninja seems to have had a lovely time with Marta. He was exhausted when he got home! Was nice for us to receive regular updates with photos and videos of what he had been up to while we were away. Thanks Marta!”
“Lionel had a great time and was well looked after by Rhianna and family. Some great long walks, and chilling out at home when it was hot. A happy dog, an would happily leave Lionel with Rhianna again.”
About: I have over 7 years of professional experience caring for dogs, including grooming and personalised care. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, always providing patience and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I offer walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles and companionship. I have plenty of time to care for your pet, with walks, playtime, and extra attention throughout the day. Monday to Sunday 8 at 8 I have a large, fenced-in garden where your pet can have fun.I have a 9-year-old son who will be a great companion on this adventure.
“My dog loved Tanja and her beautiful family. She is kind and empathetic and treated him like a little prince. He looked so happy in all the pics and updates she sent and came out with his tail wagging. Happy dog and dog mum here.”
“Robin is brilliant! Much better than kennels. It's obvious that he loves dogs and they love him back. He shared videos of our puppy-dogs on various walks, which was way beyond what we expected. If there were 7 stars, he'd score 7.”
About: We are a loving family home offering a safe, caring and calm environment for your pets while you’re away. As a family, animals have always been a huge part of our lives. Our 11-year-old son absolutely adores both cats and dogs and has grown up around them with kindness, gentleness and respect. For 13 wonderful years, we were devoted owners to our beloved German Shepherd, who we raised from just 8 weeks old. She was truly part of our family through every stage of life, and saying goodbye to her in April 2025 was heartbreaking. That experience taught us not only the joy pets bring, but also the patience, commitment and unconditional love they deserve throughout their entire lives. Although we are not quite ready to welcome another pet of our own yet, our home feels empty without furry companionship. That’s why we would love to help other families by caring for their pets as if they were our own. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet when going away, and how important it is to know they are safe, loved, exercised, cuddled and genuinely cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or simply wants a quiet sofa cuddle and reassurance, we will make sure they feel secure, happy and part of the family during their stay. Your pet won’t just be “looked after” here — they’ll be loved. Every dog is different, and we believe the best care starts with listening to you. We understand that younger dogs may need lots of exercise, play and stimulation, while older dogs often prefer gentler walks, routine and plenty of comfort and companionship. We will always follow your dog’s usual schedule and needs as closely as possible so they feel happy, settled and secure while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks in the park, energetic playtime, games and attention, or simply relaxing with company and cuddles, we are happy to adapt to what suits them best. For extended stays, and if you are comfortable with it, my office in Angel is dog friendly, meaning your dog could spend even more time with us during the day rather than being left at home. We can either drive into Angel or, if your dog enjoys it, commute together on public transport (our preferred option). Both near our home and around my office there are plenty of green spaces for walks, play, stimulation and quiet time to rest. Our aim is to make your dog feel completely at home, cared for and loved as part of the family. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be our top priority. We live in a spacious four-bedroom semi-detached family home with a fully fenced and secure garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to explore, play and relax. Inside, our downstairs living area is completely open plan, meaning your dog will never feel shut away or isolated and can always be close to family life and companionship. We understand how important routine, reassurance and a calm environment are when dogs are away from home, so we aim to create a relaxed, home-from-home atmosphere where they can quickly feel safe and settled. Equally, if your dog prefers their own quiet space to rest and recharge, there is plenty of room throughout the house for them to do so comfortably. Having cared for our own German Shepherd for 13 years, we fully understand the responsibility and trust involved in looking after someone’s beloved pet. We know dogs are family, and we will care for yours with the same patience, affection and attention we would expect for our own. We are very happy to provide regular updates, including photos and WhatsApp videos, so you can see how your dog is getting on and feel reassured while you are away. We can also arrange video calls if you’d like to check in directly. When we go away on family holidays ourselves, we really value receiving regular updates, so we understand just how important that peace of mind is. We are attentive to each dog’s individual needs, personalities and boundaries, and we will always keep communication open so you feel fully connected to your pet’s stay with us.
“Meg and her partner were brilliant with Mila over a couple of nights stay. Great pupdates and quick and clear communication. Mila would go back again for more belly rubs and cuddles.”
“In a word wonderful. The care and love that our boys received was five star. We got updates to see how it was all going. Becky and her family are kind and professional we have already rebooked twice again”
“Thankyou once again to Nicholas and Jia for taking such good care of our fur baby stitch, we always get daily updates and pictures, stitch comes home happy, healthy and smelling gorgeous! We won’t hesitate to use them again for any trips we have coming up in the future. Highly recommend them, Thankyou again 😊”
“Our girl stayed with Lauren and Tom for a night and they were great with care, communication and exercise. Cesski is not always the easiest dog to manage if you don't know her but we much appreciate you looking after her”
“Emma was an absolute joy. She was accomodating, kind, and ahe loves dogs so much. I cant imagine ever going to anyone else now. Thank you, Emma, youve eased my mind about dogsitters.”
“Winston had an absolutely amazing time with Paul, Lauren and the kids. When I came to pick him up I saw him playing with the kids and looked so happy. We had regular updates and photos and took into account all of his needs. Winston will definitely be returning.”
“Abigail provided a lovely home for Yoshi while we were away. She took great interest in every detail of his care routine, feeding, etc., and Yoshi was very happy to be there. Communication was excellent, with daily updates on his activities. We would highly recommend Abigail to other dog owners who want to be assured their dog is in a safe, friendly, and secure environment.”
