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.
“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!”
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.
“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 ❤️”
“Karen provided daily updates with photos during our recent holiday. Our puppy, Oscar, was well cared for, happy and healthy when we collected him. We’d certainly recommend Karen as providing a great service and have booked our next stay for later in the year.”
“Courtney took such good care of our dog, she honestly loved her like she was her own. We received regular updates and photos (and even videos) of our dog during her stay. Courtney's home is a home from home with a lovely garden and easy access. When I collected my dog she was so happy and relaxed, she was definitely made to feel at home there. We will not hesitate to use Courtney again in the future.”
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. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, with experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies who need consistency and senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace and extra care. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. My goal is for your dog to feel at home with me, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work full-time from home, with just one day a week in the office—and even then, it’s a super dog-friendly workplace, so your pup can come along if needed! Working from home means I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. Between meetings, I have lots of spare time for walks, playtime, toilet breaks, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have lots of companionship throughout the day. I genuinely love having dogs around and will treat yours like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved from the moment they arrive. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping to their normal routine as much as possible. I live in a clean, comfortable flat with a secure, safe balcony, providing a calm environment where your dog can relax. I’ll make sure they have plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I stick to your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions or routines.

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.
“Thank you Emma for being such a great cat sitter! Both Link and Leela were delighted with you and I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures of the fur babies. Definitely a pleasure to work with you and we'd love to have you round in the future!”
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!
“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! 😊”
“Haiqing is fantastic, our cat who doesn't tend to like anyone, loves her! She gives us great peace of mind when we're away knowing that she's looking after our cat with her renal diet and medicine to deal with. She's also a great photographer and sends us beautiful photos of Tallulah each day”
“I honestly don’t know where to start with Paula ❤️ She is an absolute angel. I have the most anxious cat ever… and I’m probably even more anxious than Simba 😂 After a bad experience in the past, I was so worried about leaving him while we went on holiday. Then I found Paula ❤️ She completely understood Simba — no pressure, no forcing, just patience and kindness. Somehow, my super anxious boy actually started trusting her 🥹 She sent me updates every day and gave me so much reassurance that I could actually enjoy my holiday. Thank you, Paula. You didn’t just look after Simba 😊 you looked after his very anxious mum too 😂❤️ We’re so lucky we found you 🐾”
“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 😊”
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 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: 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: 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: 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.
“Marian was fantastic looking after my two Maine Coons while I was away. He took excellent care of them and sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well looked after. I came home to two very content cats! I’d happily recommend Marian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book him 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 !”

“Jahnavi went over and above to look after my small Pomeranian, and took care attending to her specific requirements. Forgot her treat box and Jahnavi even offered to drop it round! Would not hesitate to book her again, 5 stars!”
“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.”

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.

I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medication, walks and routines so your dog feels as settled and comfortable as possible.

“We love Sabine! She is a great dog sitter - very friendly, easy to work with and make arrangements, and great at communicating - she always sends photos and updates of Pippa too which is lovely to see. Pippa always has the best time with Sabine and comes home very happy, it’s great knowing we’re leaving Pippa with someone we trust who always takes such good care of her. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Amanda and her husband are very friendly and welcoming. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog in their care. My dog seemed very relaxed when I went to pick her up - which is a great sign. Amanda was very responsive leading up to the day and she was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She was also able to give my dog her oral tablets. Thank you Amanda - I'll be in touch again when I next need a dog sitter!”

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.

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

“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 taken care of dogs since I was in primary school. I will treat them as my own pets and give them all the love and care, make sure they will have a great time with me! I will walk them at least 3 times a day each time more than 20 mins. I’m currently a finally year college student, so I don’t have too much lessons during the week days. I’m usually available on anytime, just let me know earlier! I’m now living with my sister in a 2 bedroom flat, which has a large dining room and pets are allowed on any furniture and bed! We have a park in our community, which is around 8 mins walk.

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.

Friends and family have entrusted me in caring for their pets and they are always well looked after - I am looking forward to extending that care to your pets too!

About: I’ve become really good at taking care of dogs, thanks to the experience I’ve gained looking after my own golden Labrador, Marley. I truly love dogs and have a solid grasp of what they need. I approach pet care with compassion and care for dogs of all ages, from lively puppies to older dogs that require a bit more attention. I’m patient and reliable, sticking to routines and making sure dogs feel at ease. Whether it’s through playtime, walks, or just some good belly rubs, I know how to make dogs feel comfortable and happy. Pet care is incorporated into my daily life. Every day, I take care of my dog’s needs such as feeding, walking, playing, and grooming. This routine not only keeps my dog healthy and content but also feels like a natural part of my day. I always stick to any instructions provided and make sure the home stays neat and organised. When I’m pet-sitting, I also take care of tasks like watering plants or even cutting the grass, making sure the place remains just as the owner left it, if not better.

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.

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’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: 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. I'm a massive animal lover across the board and am just as comfortable keeping a dog happy, walked, and entertained as I am looking after felines. I know how tough it is to leave your pets behind, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same care and attention I give my own. I have a highly flexible routine which gives me plenty of dedicated time for pet care. I’m fully available for boarding and sitting over the weekends, and on weekdays I am free anytime after 2pm to focus entirely on walking, feeding, and playing with your pets.

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.
“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!”
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.
“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: 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.
“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.”

We will not hesitate to use Courtney again in the future.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”

“Lionel had a lovely time, with walks and socialising with other dogs. Declan and Abigail were in regular contact with videos and pictures, and helpful in terms of dropping off and picking up (including coming around to drop off Lionel's bed which I forgot to take back with me!) Would happily send Lionel for another stay.”
“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! 🐾♥️”
“Can't express how happy I was with Tim's service. Zico looks like he had a great time. It was all very last minute and Tim was accommodating and understanding. Will definitely be back thank you Tim.”
