I hope Raku will be visiting again soon. Lovely sitters ☺️”

“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! 🐾♥️”

I wouldn't hesitate to book Michele again, River had a wonderful holiday staying with Michele!”

We had a last minute booking as we had a wedding to go to and she was more than happy to accommodate.

Megan, her partner and family (special mention to them) were treating him as if he were their own, so much so I think Winston would’ve been happy to stay longer! We would be happy to have them look after him again 😊 thank you so much from us and Winston 🐶”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, they have always been a part of my family, we currently have two and one is a rescue. But since moving out of my family home I really miss having dogs around which is why I’m more than happy to help out looking after others! I often help out with friends and families dogs too from walking to house sitting whilst on holiday. They all range in size and age so I have varied experience with all different dogs. I currently work as a surveyor but I have the flexibility to work from home 3 days a week so plenty of time to help with your dogs. I’m usually not available on Tuesday and Thursdays, and If I’m not available on the weekends this will be shown in my calendar. I keep my calendar kept as up to date as possible. Looking after dogs in the owners house, I will be able to follow advice and rules of their house as I’ve done this multiple times with friends/ families dogs. I basically mirror the routine that the owner follows so the dog can be relaxed as possible.
“Our cat loved her time with Haiqing. We loved seeing the photos of her enjoying strokes and her visits each day. Haiqing was extreamly responsive and was able to help us out with not much notice. Thank you Haiqing!”
“Olivia has looked after my cat Smidge a few times now and she always does a great job. Smidge seems happy and has been well fed. Olivia stays over and the house is as clean and tidy as when I left. Would highly recommend. ”
“Sarah was the perfect choice to look after our fur baby for a few days. It was so clear she really cared about cats and gave Florence all the attention she needed. Would definitely recommend and book Sarah again :) ”
“Lara was amazing. Kept us informed twice daily with photos and info. Our cats always looked relaxed and happy. Lara spent time with them just playing and stroking them. I would highly recommended Lara and would book her again. She was a star.”
About: I grew up with dogs as part of the family, so now that I live away from home and can’t have one of my own, I really miss having them around. That’s why I love helping care for other people’s pups. Based in St Albans, I fit in dog walks, house sitting and check-ins around my full-time job. It gives me my much-needed dog fix and a bit of extra coffee money, all while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Currently, I am available every day of the week apart from Tuesday and Thursdays. My calendar will always be up-to-date as I would also have occasional weekend days available. Although in a flat, I have a communal garden where a dog would be happy to run. I am also next to a lovely park where many dogs go to be walked. Long walks are available.
“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!”
“Took my booking at short notice, sent me so many wonderful pictures of merlin, he was very well looked after, this is my second time having June stay the night for him and 100% would book again.”
“Leanne has been great! She has taken care of our cats three times already, and they feel really comfortable with her (particularly the male, who is really shy and always comes out to play with her). She is reliable and very knowledgeable from being a vet nurse, which puts us at ease. We highly recommend her!”
“I needed to engage the services of Cat in a Flat to look after my cat Max while I was away for a few days. I was lucky to be allocated a local cat sitter who looked after Max very well. I was sent regular photos of Max, and returned home to find a happy cat and my property treated with respect. I will definitely use Cat in a Flat again.”
“Purple and Archie were amazing cat sitters! They sent daily photos and videos, kept our cats happy and playful, and were super friendly and easy to reach. We felt totally at ease and would book them again in a heartbeat!”
“This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I was away for a week, and Natalia took such wonderful care of my cats. She was kind, attentive, and kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾💛”
About: I've lived with cats throughout most of my time living in London and would often take care of them for my housemates whether it was just for the day or several weeks. Taking care of them would entail feeding, cleaning the litter tray if needed, making sure they're not getting into any fights with the other local feline residents! I'm very comfortable being around and looking after cats and if you were to trust me with your feline friend, you would have nothing to worry about!
“Ellie was wonderful and could always be relied upon. Even when my cat was out exploring she would wait to see if he would come back for some fuss. Would definitely use Ellie again. Thank you. ”

“June took such great care of our Frankie, I felt so relaxed the whole day knowing he was having the time of his life! I got tons of pictures and videos so I could see all the fun he was having and June was flexible with pick up and drop off times which really helped us out. Our favourite ever dog sitter! ❤️”

“We would have no hesitation recommending Gabriella. She was very prompt in correspondence, flexible and accommodating with the day care and Brodie seemed to settle quickly and had a lovely time. Thank you!”
“We have never used a dog sitter who wasn’t family before and so were nervous about finding a sitter. Emma made me feel so at ease from our first meeting and I felt more than happy to leave Maddie with her. I got lots of pictures to reassure me all was good during her stay. When I picked Maddie up, she was so happy and content after her stay with Emma and Nathan. I will definitely be booking again! ☺️”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I have had dogs of all sizes from large labradors to tiny Pomeranians. I have a dog of my own named Winston who is sweet, cuddly and fully trained. He is a little shy but once he gets to know your dog, they will be best friends 😊 I am fully available to give all my attention to your lovely dog. I am an early bird too so I can walk your dog before, during or after work 😄 I live in a 2 story house which gives dogs a lot of space to move around. We have a closed fence in our backyard with artificial grass but as a preference, I like to take dogs outside for a walk or to our front yard where there is real grass. We have a lot of dog toys to choose from and fresh water when needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 and we got our first family dog, since growing up I have looked after and owned all kinds of dogs from Schnauzers to Pit Bulls. Our last dog passed early this year and we would love to get another in time so looking after them for others in the meantime until we are ready fills a huge hole in our hearts. Working from home, both my partner and I are available most days throughout the day so we can take time out to walk and give dogs attention. We have a fenced garden with a security gate and my mum lives next door with her dog who spends time with us regularly. We have a dog loving toddler to also keep your dog company and play.
“Natália is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She looked after my greyhound companion for the first time on one of the hottest days of the year, and she was so careful about keeping her comfortable in the heat. I got regular updates by text, including photos. I could tell Georgia had fun with Natália- she looked so happy in all the images. Natália is experienced with dogs and is a very gentle, caring person. She intuitively understood how to best look after Georgia, who is an unusual dog and has some quite specific needs. I will definitely go to Natália again, and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Hai was excellent at communicating, very friendly and our dog Rizzo loved her! Hai sent us lots of updates and pictures during the visit which we really appreciated and made us feel very comfortable that Rizzo was being well looked after. Thank you so much Hai!!”
“Peter was a wonderful dog sitter, he kept us regularly updated throughout the day and sent photos of Rodney which made us feel right at ease! We would love to use Peter again when we next need support!”
“Michele was brilliant. Correspondence was excellent from beginning to end; with answering all questions and regular updates on how Luna was doing while she was looking after her. With Luna having separation anxiety I was nervous to leave her but that quickly went away with how welcoming and lovely Michele was.”
About: I’m lucky enough to have been caring for dogs domestically and professionally for 20 years. I share experience with all breeds, including rescue dogs, and puppies. I can provide care 24/7, as I’m a qualified accountant that works from home. There’s always someone present to ensure safety and comfort for any dog that stays. I provide round the clock care for our guests, at least two daily walks and access to Jersey Farm right on the doorstep. I’m happy to provide house sitting too.

“I needed a dog walker last minute before traveling and was so pleased to find Brooke. She communicated clearly from the start, was very professional, and kept me updated throughout the walk. My French bulldog, Lily, can be a bit challenging, but Brooke handled her confidently and with care. I’ll definitely be reaching out again.”
“Mila had a great time with Ruby, who was really lovely in accommodating a last minute change. She was excited to see her and very tired after their walk. We are looking forward to booking in our next walk!”
“Heidi was brilliant - extremely professional, super quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure I (and our dog) felt comfortable. She immediately understood the attention and patience needed with our senior dog, and would gladly use her again! Highly recommended”
“Amanda has been a great sitter for us, for me and for Bentley, on long work days I've been able to relax knowing he's in capable hands. Amanda takes care checking the temperature on hot days and touching the pavement to see if its too hot for paws etc. My dog is overweight so she tempts him with his toys and balls to make sure he gets a bit of movement in on visits. I like the detail Amanda gives when they go out on a longer walk, you can see how long exactly and where around the neighbourhood. He may lunge at other dogs and Amanda is so reassuring to me letting me know if she sees another dog coming she'll cross the road. Thank you so much again!”
About: I previously raised three dogs of my own and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. After they all passed away, I hoped to share the love I had for them with even more dogs. I am also a professional pet groomer. During boarding stays, grooming services can be added if needed, so every owner can welcome home their dog clean, fresh, and smelling wonderful. I work from home Monday to Friday, so I’m available to take dogs out for walks at any time. I can arrange boarding most of the time as well. I have a fenced garden at home, and dogs are free to move around the house except for the bedrooms. There are only two of us in the household, with no children, your dog can enjoy a peaceful, stable environment and have a happy, relaxing holiday. Please tell me about your pet’s daily routine and eating habits. I will do my best to follow their usual schedule so they can feel just as comfortable as they do at home.
“June, you are awesome and thank you so much for your patience when trying to work out how to extend the hours for the walk. Achilles is now tired but was crying when you left. Thank you again. X”
“Excellent service from Elizabeth. Came to visit before to get to know Myla. She enjoyed her walks, meals, and Elizabeth's company. Elizabeth was very good and experienced with older dogs needing shorter walks and medication. Would recommend and book again.”
About: Hello! I'm a Midwife and freelance classical singer. I'm 33 years old and grew up in a family home that was affectionately nicknamed "The Zoo". We always had 3 cats (and a menagerie of other furry friends), and they were a huge part of our family. Now I am cat-less and looking forward to meeting some new furry friends whilst giving the human-folk peace of mind that their beloved cats are very well looked after in my care.
About: I have grown up with dogs (of all sizes!) from birth and have taken care of neighbours, family members and friends’ dogs since a teenager. I’ve also looked after dogs on BorrowMyDoggy when I lived in London. I’m a confident carers of all dog breeds and sizes! I work from home part of the week so have plenty of time to play with and walk dogs/ puppies. I’m available for boarding from Friday through to Monday - I spend most my weekends walking into town, in the garden, or going to parks so your dog will be well stretched and looked after. I have a fenced garden, a bigger shared garden behind my fence, and Clarence Park is on my doorstep. I have a good sized front living room, long hallway and doors that open out into the garden from the end room so your dog will have lots of space to roam around as they please.
About: I have always been dog obsessed and spent many years training dogs and understanding their behaviour. My main priority when dog sitting is to ensure your dog feels as close to home as possible! Whether that's letting them under the blanket or playing fetch all day long, I will always go above and beyond to cater to their wants and needs😊. I work at a doggy daycare, where I’ve taken part in several dog welfare and behaviour training sessions and gained lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I absolutely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I’m also happy to offer extra training if requested, and I have access to secure, enclosed fields -perfect for safe playtime or recall training. I work Tuesday Wednesday Thursday in the mornings, around these days I am always available as I work from home. On request I may also be able to board during the week as I can take dogs to work with me! I live in a house with a fenced in garden with plenty of space for your dog to run around. I currently have a older Labrador who is very chill and tends to keep to herself and sleep most of the time. I never have any issues with the dogs staying getting along with her, but feel free to ask for a meet beforehand if this would put your mind at ease!
About: I really enjoy caring for dogs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m flexible and attentive, offering a calm home environment with plenty of company, attention, and walks. I grew up in a household with multiple dogs—at one point we had five—so I’m very used to dogs of all ages, including puppies. I genuinely miss having a dog around, so I love welcoming them into my home and making them feel relaxed and happy. I’m calm, friendly, and playful, but also confident setting clear boundaries when needed so dogs feel secure and behaviour stays consistent. I’m always happy to follow your dog’s routine closely and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages. I work Monday - Friday 9-5pm from home. I am able to take frequent breaks and take an hour for lunch. In the morning I go for a walk, and I would love to have more of a reason to go out walking at lunch or in the evening too - it’s likely I’ll do 2 walks with your dog! My partner loves dogs too and she will be also helping out and enjoying cuddles when she’s not at work. I have a fenced garden and hard surfaces downstairs (no carpet) so the house is well set up for a dog. I’m also happy to crate your dog if needed or have your dog sit in my office with me while I work (again, hard floor).
About: I adore all pets and I have the freedom and flexibility to be able to care for your dogs from home. With plenty of long walks closely available your dog will get plenty of exercise. I am available 7 days a week. I work full time from home and only look after one dog at a time so they will get 100% attention. Long early morning and afternoon walks will give your dog plenty of exercise. I love to play ball games at home, in the garden or on walks. Giving your dog times of stimulation and rest are important but happy to follow the same routine as the owners.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats in the local area. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and keep pets company whilst they are on holiday! I have recently finished university and am available to help whilst I look for a full-time job! I am flexible and have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets on weekdays and weekends I have a fenced garden and two friendly golden retrievers that would love to keep your fur babies company! I will also stick to the regular routine that they are familiar with
About: Myself and my fiancé, Elliot, have grown up with pets all our lives and miss having dogs around so much! We live in St Albans with both Clarence Park and Verulamium Park in super easy reach and we feel at a loss going for walks without a pooch in tow. We’re super active and love to be outside (no matter the weather). We’re a relatively low key, responsible and chilled couple. Both of us have experience looking after our family dogs as puppies, right through to old age. We also appreciate how much of a family member they are and that it’s scary leaving your dog with someone else who you hardly know - we’d of course be open to meeting anyone and their dog before needing to commit to us taking care of them - trust is so important! We promise to care for and love your pooch just as you would :) I work two days a week from home, starting at 9am so can do pick up anytime before. I’m an early riser so morning walks before 9am are no problem. I have an hour for lunch break where I love to get out of the house, and from 5.30pm free as a bird! Boarding over the weekend is no problem and for all day care I’d be taking your pooch of 2-3 walks a day if that suits the dog. Of course if elderly and needs shorter/less walks that’s not a problem! Our garden is completely fenced of with no means of escape! Our home is around 1,000 sq ft mid-terrace. We have no problem with dogs going upstairs but of course if this is against what they do at home, we will enforce any rules you have for them so we don’t undo any training!

“Our dog Chai had a wonderful time with Tanirika. He stayed over for 5 days and was well looked after. Tanirika gave us regular updates throughout his stay and we could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself and was in great hands. This reassurance allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our trip abroad. I highly recommend Tanirika if you ever need someone to look after your dog.”
“Megan was absolutely amazing with our little lad, Winston! Kept up to date with pictures and her communication was on point! We had a last minute booking as we had a wedding to go to and she was more than happy to accommodate. He was absolutely spoilt rotten with his walks and cuddles and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Megan, her partner and family (special mention to them) were treating him as if he were their own, so much so I think Winston would’ve been happy to stay longer! We would be happy to have them look after him again 😊 thank you so much from us and Winston 🐶”

She is absolute dog lover and wonderful person.”
“My furr Babies stayed for the first time and I've just picked them up and got them home and they're as happy as they always are. Chloe kept me posted with photos of walks and cuddles. Very happy with her care!!”

I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re with Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I keep my home pet-proofed by removing hazards and supervising dogs closely at all times. I build trust through patience, calm energy, and positive reinforcement, never forcing interaction. When boarding in my home, I provide a secure and comfortable space with a consistent routine. For visits to a pet owner’s home, I follow their instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure the pet feels safe and relaxed with me.
About: I've been a dog owner and in the position where I needed to leave my dogs with someone I trust that will provide the best care. So I know how you feel and make it my mission that every dog is happy and treated as the individual they are in my care. I've looked after dogs in people's homes, at my house, and had dogs stay for the day or need popping in to and walk whilst families are out at work or at family events. The most important part of any dog sitting job I undertake is knowing your dog and what you / the dog needs to be comfortable, if that means sleeping on our bed, no problem. If the dog prefers to have a bed / crate area, we can make that happen in a space you think they'll like. We are a family of 3 (unless you count the goldfish) and have a spacious house and garden. Although it can be loud at times (with a 6 year old), he is very aware of dogs, having lived with our 2 until mid 2025 when we lost our labrador. He knows not all dogs like extremely loud circumstances and he is an excellent ball thrower. Being a labrador and border collie owner, we are used to active dogs and their needs. However, more recently we've had many visits from a mini dachshund who has firmly made himself at home when he's with us. He requires less walks but more cuddles. Not a problem. We have looked after many dog needs in the last 15 years: Labrador(s), Border Collies, Greyhound, Tibetan Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Jack Russell(s), Bichon Frisé, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd including multiple cross breeds. I have experience volunteering for a specific sight hound rescue as well as the Animal Transport Network. I love dogs and now my 2 are no longer with us, both having reached nearly 16, it's time to get back to dogs, without having one of our own for a while. More than happy for a visit (essential prior to first booking) to meet your pooch. Thereafter, no problems. A typical day- Breakfast and morning walk Play before school School run with dog, if happy to come (not let unattended at all) Cuddles of sofa / sleep Lunch if required School run in afternoon Dinner & walk All timings based on what you require. On a weekend we are around in the house and tend to go out for a morning / afternoon walk, this might be a drive away. Could be a cafe stop (if your dog is happy with that) or we'll just stay local and walk to Cassiobury Park or down the canal. I currently work part time, 3 days a week but these hours at flexible and can be amended due to the personal requirements you have. I am available Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening. Mon/Weds nights or full weeks with notice to change work around your pets needs. I have a fenced garden, multiple parks and green spaces nearby. An active 6 year old who doesn't tire of playing ball or tuggy. Allowed on sofa, bed, a playroom with kids toys that can be penned off. I can work my day / work around you. If your dog is happy to be left up to 4 hours or not, I can fit in around you. We will walk a dog twice a day unless specified, cuddles if wanted, play, food schedule that you dictate and lots of general fuss.
