About: Hi! I’m Rebeca, a big animal lover based in Barnet 😊 I grew up with dogs and when I was younger I had a Pitbull and a Doberman, so I’m very comfortable around bigger dogs and used to their energy and needs. I also have my own cat, so I understand how different every pet can be. I know cats need their own space and routine, and I always try to make them feel calm and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m patient, caring, and I always try to make pets feel safe and happy. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well 😊 I’d love to meet your pet!🐾 I am currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to enjoy spending with your pet 🌳🍁 I am available mornings and evenings anytime. I offer pet care services that include home visits and walks in the Barnet area. I have full availability, which allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and ensure their well-being and proper care.
“I’m so pleased to leave Mocha with her for about 6 months, she was so caring, helpful, kind and loving 🥰 and glad to the journey was so smooth until we could bring him to Dubai, thank you darling”
“Lauren and Ethan were absolutely fantastic looking after our dog, Myla, while we were away on holiday. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying. It was clear that Myla was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of love and attention throughout her stay. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog, and it was obvious she'd been treated like one of the family. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lauren and Ethan to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Myla—we'll definitely be booking with you again!”
“Ela was great! She kept me informed every day and she took great care of Max. You could tell he had a great time, especially with Axel being around too. Would highly, highly recommend.”
“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.”
“We left Kalhua over the weekend with Jennifer, he went straight to her front door before we even knew which house to get to and made himself right at home! Jennifer’s home was lovely with open spaces and her family treated Kalhua like the little prince he is! She sent regular updates and pictures and we were left at ease knowing he was well looked after! He came home with a big smile, relaxed and looked like he had his own little holiday! We will definitely come back!”
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.
“We recently left our Boston Terrier, Tyson, with Felix and Poppy for 5 days—and he came back a happy, well-cared-for pup! 🐾 They clearly know how to handle dogs with experience and ease. Tyson enjoyed his walks, had playtime in the garden, and looked completely at home with them. It was a relief to know he was in such good hands. We’d absolutely recommend Felix and Poppy to any dog parent looking for a safe, caring environment. (Our only suggestion—spoken like true anxious dog parents—is that we’d have loved a few more updates or photos along the way… mostly to reassure us that he hadn’t already replaced us with new humans! 😅) Thank you again for taking such great care of our boy!!”
“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!”
“Thanks Marta! It was great having Caddy stay with you - where he was loved as one of the family! I'm happy to recommend you to anyone who is looking for someone to take great care of their best friend!”
“Beata was very responsive and sincere. She requested a Meet & Greet to see Cooper dilute to his size. After the quick meet and greet she agreed to take care of him in short notice. Very proactive to send pictures and timely updates. Will surely looking to use her services again. Thank you 🙏”
“Wonderful sitter. My dog had such a great time i thought he wouldn’t want to come back. Emma sent lots of photos of his weekend stay. She is certainly my dog carer of choice.”
“We and Bobbie were extremely happy with Jaclyn’s care. Bobbie and their dog Benny got on beautifully together. He had a wonderful 12 days holiday there, so well looked after he can’t wait to go back. We appreciated all the photos they sent us during his stay.”
“Saransh and his wife were great with my dog. Luna is s reactive dog and takes her some time to get used to new people and Saransh was so good to her, they were besties in record time.”

“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 :) ”
“I can’t thank Antoniya enough for looking after my boy as one of hers. Since the first meeting Joey loved her and she is been so caring and attentive, sending a lot of pictures, videos and information. I was really worried as I never left Joey alone for so long but he enjoyed Antoniya’s visits very much and I found him just as I left him. Antoniya is lovely and very professional, I highly recommend her!!”
“Emma helped us out at the last minute and looked after our two cats for us while we’re away. She was wonderful - the cats loved her and she looked after the house and plants too. The cats were in such good spirits when we returned. She helped with their food and water and litter and I would definitely recommend Emma. We hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you Emma!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Binks! She looks really happy and healthy and I appreciate it! Great working with you and will definitely book again in the future”
“Helen did a fantastic job looking after our cat! Her communication was great - she sent us pictures every day, which really put our minds at ease. Helen is incredibly friendly and clearly knows how to take great care of cats. We would definitely book her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! 😊”
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!
“Chloe was great with my cat. She sent photos and followed my instructions really well. I'm so happy she looked after him. My home was tidy and clean when I got back and Timmy seemed very cosy laying in bed waiting for us to come home. Thank you for looking after him whilst we were away 😊”
“Anna was a great cat sitter to our kitten. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. She asked us loads of questions about his routine and looked after him the exact way we wanted her to. He was very well cared four and Anna immediately put us at ease. We will definitely use her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thanks Anna.”
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. I mainly provide care in my own home, where dogs enjoy a clean, tidy, and comfortable environment. 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. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, welcomed, and well cared for throughout their stay.
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.
“Sena was honestly incredible! My needy little cat couldn't have been in better hands. Not only was Sena wonderful with him, but she also spent plenty of quality time with him. I trust her completely with our cat and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I am a gardener and landscape architect and work from home. I am trustworthy, experienced and compassionate about caring for dogs. I will provide personalised care tailored to meet your dog’s unique needs. - regular dog walking - feeding and medication administration - playtime and companionship - basic grooming and hygiene support - I can board your pet in my house or do visits to your place - I am welcome to pick up and drop off With a genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and safe while you are away or at work. I treat every pet as if they were my own - with patience and kindness. My dog was nearly 17 years old when passed away last year, so I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as well. We have a big fenced garden and three parks near us. Please let me know any requirements or extra care for your pets. I am working from home so I am available 24/7.

About: My secret is that cats might just be my favourite (don't tell my dog Gatsby!). Growing up surrounded by them, I can genuinely say that caring for cats is one of my greatest joys. I grew up with three rescue cats, Teddy, Lulu, and Puchu, and have cared for them throughout their entire lives. Having rescue cats from a young age taught me so much about patience, and understanding that every cat is completely unique. Some cats take time to warm up to new people, some have specific routines they rely on, and some simply need a quieter, more considered approach. I'm completely comfortable navigating all of that and always let cats set the pace. Beyond my own, I regularly cared for my neighbours' two cats, Whiskey and Bailey, handling everything from feeding and playtime to simply keeping them company, and they brought me an enormous amount of joy in return. I also cat sit frequently for friends and family, and every single cat I've had the pleasure of caring for has felt like my own. I currently have Zelda, my 3 year old British Shorthair, so I'm well acquainted with the day-to-day needs of cats at every stage. I'm also comfortable with the grooming needs of long haired cats, should that be required. Whatever your cat's personality, shy or bold, I will tailor my care entirely to them and ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away.
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: As a 38-year-old lifelong pet enthusiast, I know that cats require a special kind of attentive, patient care. I offer reliable drop-in visits and respectful house sitting to keep your kitty comfortable and stress-free in their own territory. From energetic playtime with feather wands to quiet companionship and diligent litter box maintenance, I tailor every single visit to your cat's specific preferences. You can step away with complete peace of mind knowing your feline friends are in experienced, caring hands.
“Lizzie looked after our cat Teddy for 6 nights and we were really pleased while we were away. She gave regular updates & photos, left the house spotless and gave Teddy a lot of attention. She clearly loves animals and we would happily use her again.”
“Jess is amazing and wonderful ! Momo is usually shy and independent but, she's attached to Jess soon during her sitting. Jess reports us how Momo was spending even it was very little thing. We will absolutely repeat !”
“We had Mariette sitting our Bali before and she’s always the best. Sending us update after every visit, we saw Bali happy and enjoying her company and attention every day. We enjoyed our holiday a lot more seeing how he was happy and very well looked after”

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, attention, 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'm particularly available throughout the summer and can 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 morning walks. Particularly important during these warmer summer months which I know can be tough on dogs. 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 I'm also open to house sitting depending on location and length of stay. Whatever the arrangement, my priority is always that your animal feels safe and genuinely cared for.
About: I have helped take care of my pets for my entire life. Both my family and my neighbors have trusted me to ensure pets are fed, walked and well taken care of. I have help animals of all sizes, from large dogs to small cats. I am student working on Mondays - Thursdays so I will be mostly likely to help step in from 5p.m. past. On Fridays - Sundays I am free all day. My family dog need a daily walk and I am more than willing to walk him if need be. As he has grown older, I have also been in charge of giving him meds during every dinner. I have also changed my cat's litter box on a bi-weekly basis and have helped my family's cat whenever they make a mess on the floor.
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.
“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.”

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.
“Dani has been great for Toby’s first walk with her. She has been very quick to answer all my questions and took lots of pictures for me to see. I will be booking a lot more walks in with Dani soon!”
“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: Hi! I’m Rebeca, a big animal lover based in Barnet 😊 I grew up with dogs and when I was younger I had a Pitbull and a Doberman, so I’m very comfortable around bigger dogs and used to their energy and needs. I also have my own cat, so I understand how different every pet can be. I know cats need their own space and routine, and I always try to make them feel calm and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m patient, caring, and I always try to make pets feel safe and happy. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well 😊 I’d love to meet your pet!🐾 I am currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to enjoy spending with your pet 🌳🍁 I am available mornings and evenings anytime. I offer pet care services that include home visits and walks in the Barnet area. I have full availability, which allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and ensure their well-being and proper care.
“Lauren and Ethan were absolutely fantastic looking after our dog, Myla, while we were away on holiday. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying. It was clear that Myla was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of love and attention throughout her stay. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog, and it was obvious she'd been treated like one of the family. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lauren and Ethan to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Myla—we'll definitely be booking with you again!”
“We left Kalhua over the weekend with Jennifer, he went straight to her front door before we even knew which house to get to and made himself right at home! Jennifer’s home was lovely with open spaces and her family treated Kalhua like the little prince he is! She sent regular updates and pictures and we were left at ease knowing he was well looked after! He came home with a big smile, relaxed and looked like he had his own little holiday! We will definitely come back!”
“Thanks Marta! It was great having Caddy stay with you - where he was loved as one of the family! I'm happy to recommend you to anyone who is looking for someone to take great care of their best friend!”
“Beata was very responsive and sincere. She requested a Meet & Greet to see Cooper dilute to his size. After the quick meet and greet she agreed to take care of him in short notice. Very proactive to send pictures and timely updates. Will surely looking to use her services again. Thank you 🙏”
“Wonderful sitter. My dog had such a great time i thought he wouldn’t want to come back. Emma sent lots of photos of his weekend stay. She is certainly my dog carer of choice.”
“We and Bobbie were extremely happy with Jaclyn’s care. Bobbie and their dog Benny got on beautifully together. He had a wonderful 12 days holiday there, so well looked after he can’t wait to go back. We appreciated all the photos they sent us during his stay.”
“Saransh and his wife were great with my dog. Luna is s reactive dog and takes her some time to get used to new people and Saransh was so good to her, they were besties in record time.”
“Im grateful for Zoe for looking after Leo this holiday season. Leo has settled well and was happy. Zoe takes him for a daily walk and gives us regular update. Highly recommended! thanks again Zoe.”
“Couldn’t be happier! Our pup Hector can be a bit shy at first but Jen persevered with him and I think he had a great time - lots of lovely walks and playtime. It’s nerve wracking leaving your beloved dog with someone else but Jen sent lots of pics, and as soon as I received the first one I was totally relaxed and glad we’d found her! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely try to use Jen again the next time we need dog care. Thank you :)”
“Jennie agreed to look after Zoe & Frank at short notice after I was let down by another sitter. She sent me plenty of photos and kept in touch whilst they were staying with her. Would recommend 😃”
“Buddy recently had daycare and an overnight stay, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I loved receiving frequent updates, and it was clear he had a great time, especially spending time with Flossy. Buddy came home happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend!”
About: Very much recommend a meet & greet session for us to get to know each other a little before any commitments! I’ve got 2 family dogs of my own whom I’ve missed incredibly since moving to London and I absolutely love meeting new dogs and playing with them which is why I thought I would give Rover a try and see if I can help out anyone whilst also making myself very happy! I have experience with reactive and large dogs as one of our dogs is quite reactive to other dogs so I have lots of experience handling and am comfortable. I have also been to countless training seminars to learn how to train so if needed, can do some basic training with your dog! I usually work from home with flexible working conditions so I have plenty of time in the day and after work to go for walks! Once you drop your dog off, to help them settle in easily I would take them for a short walk immediately. Usually I would go for a few walks a day for toilet breaks as well as a long walk after work. For the rest of the day depending on how your dog is, if they’re full of energy, we will do some training and treat work to let some energy out and if they’re happy to take some rest, I’ll be right next to them working! I also usually go for runs, if your dog is up for it then we could go for runs together but if not then I will make sure to plan to run another day so I’ll always be staying with them! I live in a one bed flat in North West London and there’s plenty of greenery and a reservoir 5 mins walk away from me. I often go running and bump into lots of dogs so there’s lots of opportunity to meeti other dogs ans socialise, however if your dog doesn’t like other dogs, there is a football pitch and a huge park not far from me where there is a lot of space for your dog away from others! We also have a balcony where they can sunbathe or people watch but this wouldn’t be safe for a small dog or cats as the fencing has relatively big gaps. If I take on your dog for doggy day care, I’ll make sure to be there with your dog the whole time until the agreed pick up time.
“Caroline is lovely and my two jack russells hit it off with her straight away .... I received lots of photos of happy doggies on woodland walks and a blow by blow account of their stay! I wasn’t sure if they really wanted to come home when I went to collected them! I recommend Caroline highly!”
“Another lovely stay for Tiffy with Gabriella. Lots of fun walks, plenty of ball play and even a trip to the zoo where she saw animals beyond her imagination for the first time. Thanks again Gabriella.”
