“Laura looked after Cassi as an overnight trial for a stay at the end of the month. It is clear Laura loves dogs and Cassi had a great time with Laura, her dogs and the other guests. She gave us regular updates and pictures throughout the stay and Cassi came back happy and relaxed.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Daria and to have someone I completely trust with my dog, Archie. From the moment we met, she put me at ease, she really understands dogs and knew exactly how to help Archie feel comfortable when he was a little nervous. She kept me updated every day with lovely photos and videos, which meant so much. Archie was so happy with her; he was safe, well cared for, and clearly relaxed and content. I honestly couldn’t recommend Daria more. Thank you so much for looking after Archie—I’ll definitely be booking with you again! xx”
“Max had a fantastic time staying with Kevin, Denise and their lovely children for the week. He was given all the attention, exercise and time to play that he needed and is used to. We got regular updates, photos and videos that showed us how he was getting on and what he was up to which was really helpful. They were considerate to our instructions and wishes in regards to Max's routine and needs which was highly appreciated. All in all a very successful stay. Would definitely recommend! 😁👍”
“We couldn’t be happier with Toastie’s recent 12 day stay with Natalia and Paolo. From the moment we arrived, it was clear they genuinely love dogs and treated him like part of their family. Toastie settled in quickly and was showered with affection, playtime and thoughtful care every single day. Natalia and Paolo kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Toastie came home relaxed, happy and clearly adored. We could tell he had a fantastic time! Thank you both for going above and beyond. Toastie already misses you and we’re so grateful to have found such kind and dedicated sitters. Highly recommended to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry friend! We for sure will be keeping Natalia and Paolo as our favourite dog sitters. Thanks so much guys.”
“Here’s a polished and corrected version of your review: --- Our puppy Harry is very small and still in training, but Fred kindly offered to look after him for two days. Fred is extremely friendly and flexible. He kept us updated with pictures of Harry, which really put our minds at ease. We never had to worry about our little pup while he was with Fred. Highly recommend!”
“Lea & Lucas were so good with chocos care througout the stay.Even I made a special request to do a late pickup as my flight was running 1hr late and they were happy to oblidge. Also post stay we had a detailed followup call where again they explained how his stay was, overall health and also they weighed choco before he left their home to check everything was ok. Lucas and lea also provided timely eye drops and a special request administered his flea treatment also. we were always getting wonderful photos and videos throughout chocos stay. I am always looking to find time in their busy calendar to book choco again😅. After the wonderful stay choco had with them Choco will be happy to go again soon . If I can rate his stay it will be 6/5 , unfortunately app doesnt allow me to add bonus stars 🌟”
“What a lovely lady. We arranged a pre stay visit to see if Wilson was compatible with Wendy. He took to her straight away which set my mind at ease. He stayed with her her for three weeks with no problems. I could tell from the regular updates and photos he was enjoying his stay there. She has a great house and garden plus a park in close proximity. I highly recommend Wendy as I will be choosing her again if and when the need arises.”
“Gabriella looked after our little Pluto and couldnt of asked for a better dog sitter. Made sure he was well looked after and kept us updated constantly. If you are looking for someone to look after your puppy/dog I’d definitely recommend Gabriella. I will be using her again!”
“Sherlock has stayed with Arpana a few times over the past couple of weeks while we had lots of family visiting for a wedding. We’ve never really felt comfortable leaving Sherlock before, but after seeing Arpana’s profile and how much of a dog lover she is, we decided to give it a try — and we’re so glad we did. From the very first meeting, Sherlock took to Arpana and her family straight away. She kindly welcomed him into her home when we dropped him off, and it was clear how dog-friendly and welcoming the environment was. Each time we brought him back, he would pull eagerly on his lead and sniff his way right up to the door, excited to see them again. A big part of that is down to her children, who clearly adore dogs and were wonderful with Sherlock — he had the best time playing, especially with her daughter. He always came home tired out, but in the happiest way. Arpana kept in touch with regular updates, which was really reassuring for us as slightly anxious owners leaving our dog for the first time. She was also very patient with our many questions and flexible with timing, which we really appreciated. Overall, the experience has made us feel so much more comfortable about leaving Sherlock with a sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again — I don’t think Sherlock would forgive us if we didn’t!”
“Fantastic family! Made us feel welcome and embraced our dog straightaway. Kept us at ease with the regular updates and pictures. Thank you so much and we look forward to using your service in the future”
“Such a lovely guy, looked after my 2 dogs so well, sent lots of updates and they seemed so happy and comfortable with him and enjoyed the company of his dogs too, I think they had a better holiday then me 🤭”
“We left our dog, Monty, with Mauricio for a week while we were abroad and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He and the family treated Monty like part of the family and even celebrated his birthday while we were away, which was such a thoughtful touch. They bought him presents and made him a cake (made of chicken) and sent us photos and videos on the day so we didn’t feel like we were missing out too much. We were kept updated with regular messages and photos throughout the week, giving us complete peace of mind. Thank you, Mauricio, for taking such wonderful care of Monty, it looked as though he had a lovely time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and use you again.”
“We left our boy( dog) with Michelle for 10 days while we were away, and WOW was the best decision to give our dog to Michelle and Ava ( who helped and our dog become attached to her 😊). Michelle kept us updated with pictures and daily messages about our boy. I didnt felt that we left Fidel with a stranger. Michelle and her family and Wilf and Ralf embraced and welcomed Fidel. He felt at home straight away. I will definitely bring Fidel back to Michelle and highly recommend the complete package that she offers.”

She made some lovely friends both 2 and four legged. Would not hesitate to leave her in such genuinely loving card again whenever we need. Thank so very much.”
“This was the 1st time of me leaving Reggie with anyone, Nicole made me very welcome and at ease before me leaving him with her for the weekend, she sent pictures and kept me updated he loved it I am definitely using her again .”

“We were quite nervous about leaving Boo for the first time with a family we didn’t know however Vanessa was very reassuring. Vanessa spoke in a very calming way around Boo and Boo appeared comfortable straight away. I felt confident when leaving Boo with Vanessa and she sent me a lovely little video showing me Boo playing and having fun, which was lovely. When I collected Boo, Vanessa and her husband expressed how much they and their daughter had enjoyed looking Boo and I could see Boo had had a great time too!I I would definitely use Vanessa again and would highly recommend her.”

“Jenny looked after our cat Meg for a week while we were away on holiday. She's an older cat and somewhat stuck in her ways which makes her a bit shy with new people, but she was very patient and tried to bring her out of her shell (even through the odd hiss - sorry about that Jenny!). We had daily updates with photos and lots of communication which made us very reassured that she was ok and being well looked after which in turn made us able to enjoy our holiday so much more. We'd definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone.”
“Totally reliable sitter, my cat has complex needs which Laura handled wonderfully. Gives lots of cuddles and fusses. My furry boy really took to her. Thanks so much Laura.”

“Tanvi was very professional liaising all the time, before and during her drop-in home visit with photos to ease my worries. My 6yr old Cockapoo Teddy is very anxious and not good with strangers, but he gelled well with Tanvi. The afternoon was a success and I am confident to leave Teddy in her capable hands for another visit really soon. I would highly recommend Tanvi to any dog owners with similar worries about leaving their dog.”
About: I have always had cats in my life and have looked after friends and families dogs since I was young. I also have a 1 year old sausage dog that loves other dogs! I work from home Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I am also home most weekends due to having my own dog that I rarely leave alone. I have a fenced in garden with a very friendly sausage dog and 2 cats. The cats are very well socialised with dogs and mostly stay away from them and let them do their own thing
“Macey provides a superb service. Leaving your loved ones in the hands of others is very difficult. So one relies upon competency, care and professionalism. Macey’s care of our two little frenchies whilst we were away for the weekend embodied all these things and more. She was prompt, supplied photos and the dogs loved her. We’ll definitely call upon her again!”
About: I have been caring for friends' and neighbours' cats for many years and was lucky enough to share 15 wonderful years with my own childhood cat. Spending time with cats has given me an understanding of their unique personalities, from the independent explorers to the affectionate lap cats. I love that they are naturally self-sufficient while still finding their own special ways to communicate their needs and build trust. I always take the time to ensure each cat feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment.

“Thank you so much Laura Enzo seems to have had the best time and is currently having a nap at home on the sofa. You have put my mind at rest that he will be ok on his stay. Thank you!!”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company.

I have had experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who have just undergone serious medical procedures and puppies, so I have a range of experience that allows me to provide the right care for your friend. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my zero-hour hospitality job, meaning I can dedicate lots of time to looking after your pet.

I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.
“Nicole is absolutely amazing and we have found a sitter for Milo for life! (Or for has long as she’ll take him - he’s a very hyper pooch!!). Before we booked Milo in, Nicole asked us to go round to make sure we were happy with everything and that Milo and her beautiful dog Nala got on - and they did! Milo has found a playmate for life 🥰 We were kept updated throughout the whole day with pictures and videos and Milo has come home absolutely shattered which is always a good sign.”
“Milos second time with Nicole & he had a really good time. Milo was well looked after and has seemed to have warmed up to Nicole and her family. Nicole kept to his routine and let me know how he was doing during the day.”
“We’re so grateful to Nita for stepping in at very short notice to look after our dog, Leo. She welcomed him into her home and made him feel completely comfortable and cared for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Nita clearly has a natural way with dogs, and Leo settled in right away. We’re really looking forward to booking with her again in the future, highly recommended!”
“Thank you so much Lea and Lucas! I loved all the little updates about Finlay during the day the pictures are so lovely! He had the best time with you! You’re such a great help. Thank you again! Sandra Brad and Finlay 🐶”

About: I have an extensive history of working with dogs. I have owned working therapy dogs and have been working at a dog sanctuary for the past 2 years, handling dogs from all walks of life and all sizes.

I am open to any questions you may have or to alleviate any concerns you may have. I am freely available for any pet care needs all I ask is for the advanced notice stated.

I have a gated garden and a big field and woods near by. I can crate your dog if required. I am flexible and will work around your needs. If boarding, then dog/cat would need to be dropped and collected from my property.

“Dannie is an excellent dog walker, Barney and Kiki enjoyed their walks with her whilst I was away. Punctual and professional, I will be using Dannie’s services again in the future. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.
About: I have a Level 2 Diploma in Animal Management and I’m currently completing work experience at a doggy day care, where I help supervise group play, assist with feeding, cleaning, and making sure dogs are safe and comfortable. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more nervous dogs. At the moment, I offer dog walking and always make sure each dog gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and care. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I’m currently doing work experience at a doggy day care, but I have flexible availability for dog walking. I’m available most weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times to find something that works best for you and your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Through my day care experience, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, manage different temperaments, and keep dogs safe during walks and interactions. I always use secure leads, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 15 and plenty of experience with different breeds and ages including chihuahua puppies, senior staffies and rescue bulldogs. I can no longer have dogs full time myself so I would love to be able to care/love for others. I drive which means I am able to travel to your pets as and when needed. I currently work from home as a nail tech and a 4 year old who goes to school so I have plenty of time spare to spend with the animals I care for. I live in a duplex (a house in a low rise block) with 2 large balconies and a communal garden. I live right on the water where lots of people walk their dogs and a crate available if needed.
About: I have experience with dogs who are anxious and resource guard so I know how to handle them in the safest way for both of us. I’ve also had two puppies personally that I have looked after and contributed to training so am well versed in younger dogs too. I’m an artist who works from home with occasional work days out so I can fit looking after your pets around my schedule, therefore I am available all week :) I can adapt pet sitting to whatever suits your needs, whether that’s taking them for walks, playing with them or simply checking in and giving them company.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love building positive relationships with every dog I meet. I’m dependable, patient, and focused on making each walk enjoyable, safe, and tailored to your dog's needs. I look forward to helping keep your furry friend happy and active! What you can expect from me is reliable, caring, and flexible support for your dog. I work from home three days a week and have a flexible schedule on office days (9am–4pm), allowing me to accommodate walks, check-ins, and pet care throughout the day. Your dog's safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my priority. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I'll tailor my care to ensure they feel comfortable, exercised, and loved. You can also expect regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in safe and caring hands. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand that every dog communicates through their body language and emotions, and I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. By recognizing signs of stress, excitement, nervousness, or confidence, I can ensure your dog feels safe, secure, and understood while in my care. I am patient, attentive, and committed to building trust with both dogs and their owners. Whether we're out on a walk or spending time together at home, you can feel confident that your dog will be cared for in a safe, loving, and responsible environment where they are treated like family.
About: I have been dog sitting for 5 years now and love it. I have a big country park very close so my dogs get plenty of exercise and even a swim in the lake if it's hot enough. I'm available 24/7 but as I'm not driving at the moment it's hard to be available for more then 2 drop ins a day, but that's depends on distance to travel. My garden is well fenced off and save, dog friendly home. When my regular dogs come over they're so happy to see me and I can't wait to see them too, I think that shows how much fun we both have. I treat each dog as I would my own, Peace of mind is very important.
About: My partner and I have both grown up with dogs from German shepherd's to dachshund's. Our daughters have grown up with a senior samoyed and now a puppy samoyed. We have always helped out friends and family with holiday stays. We know how important it is when going on holiday that your baby is being taken care of and that is why we are now opening up our home for dogs to have their own little holiday I am licensed 5* rating from Thurrock Council and Insured. I have a level 2 AIM qualification award in Canine Care and Welfare. I currently work part time, 3 evenings a week so I am around all day and my partner works during the day and then is around all evening. We switch over with the care of children and dogs. Weekends we tend to go for long wood walks, weekdays we tend to stick to our local area either road walk or behind us we have a massive field and woods. We have a fenced garden with easy access from our kitchen doors. We have a 1 year old samoyed who loves to play and go for walks. She will benefit a lot having lots of friends to play with.
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who have just undergone serious medical procedures and puppies, so I have a range of experience that allows me to provide the right care for your friend. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my zero-hour hospitality job, meaning I can dedicate lots of time to looking after your pet. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and being outdoors, so I’d love the opportunity to include your dog in my routine. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’d love to provide your pet with plenty of care, companionship, and attention, whether that means exciting walks, playtime, comforting company, or regular check-ins. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.

“Laura looked after Cassi as an overnight trial for a stay at the end of the month. It is clear Laura loves dogs and Cassi had a great time with Laura, her dogs and the other guests. She gave us regular updates and pictures throughout the stay and Cassi came back happy and relaxed.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Daria and to have someone I completely trust with my dog, Archie. From the moment we met, she put me at ease, she really understands dogs and knew exactly how to help Archie feel comfortable when he was a little nervous. She kept me updated every day with lovely photos and videos, which meant so much. Archie was so happy with her; he was safe, well cared for, and clearly relaxed and content. I honestly couldn’t recommend Daria more. Thank you so much for looking after Archie—I’ll definitely be booking with you again! xx”
“What a lovely lady. We arranged a pre stay visit to see if Wilson was compatible with Wendy. He took to her straight away which set my mind at ease. He stayed with her her for three weeks with no problems. I could tell from the regular updates and photos he was enjoying his stay there. She has a great house and garden plus a park in close proximity. I highly recommend Wendy as I will be choosing her again if and when the need arises.”

About: I have always been around dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. From a young age, I have cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs and gained a strong understanding of their different personalities and individual needs. I have competed in dog training to a high standard, giving me valuable experience with obedience, handling and understanding dog behaviour. I know that every breed is different and requires the right amount of exercise, mental stimulation, routine and attention. When your dog is in my care, I will treat them as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after while giving them the care and attention they deserve. I am fully committed to providing the best possible care for every dog I look after. I am working towards making dog care my full-time career, so I am able to dedicate my time, attention and energy to giving each dog the care they deserve. My schedule is flexible and centred around the needs of the dogs in my care, including walks, playtime, training, companionship and maintaining their normal routines. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and settled when away from their owners, and I will always make their wellbeing my priority. I am reliable, passionate and committed to building trust with both dogs and their owners. Pets in my home will be treated as part of the family. I will make sure they have a safe, comfortable and calm environment where they can settle in and feel relaxed. I will follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medication (if required) and any specific behaviours or preferences their pet has. I believe every dog is different, so I adapt my care to suit their breed, age, energy levels and personality. I will provide plenty of attention, play, walks and mental stimulation while making sure they have time to rest and feel at home. My priority is always keeping pets happy, safe and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Laura and family looked after Teddy very well. They have sent lots of pictures and took Teddy for long walks. Teddy had a great time. I definitely recommend Laura and her family. Thank you again for accommodating us especially knowing Teddy has special a special dietary requirement and medication.”
“Emily looked after Woody really well, we got regular updates through out the day. We were running late for the pickup but Emily was very patient and kind. Will be more than happy re-book.”
“Elisa was fantastic. We trusted her with our beloved Twix whilst we were away on holiday. She sent regular updates and pictures. We could tell from the pictures Twix was having a great time and being looked after. Daily walks and plenty of activity with Elsie’s own dog. We’re really pleased we went with Elisa and the service she’s provided. Would recommend and use again.”
“Nyasha was outstanding with our puppy Nova. Nova boarded for 4 nights whilst we went on holiday. Nyasha kept us updated with pictures and videos of Nova having fun, playing with her dog Maxi, going on walks, eating, sleeping and her general day to day activities. We were so impressed with Nyasha and the way in which she cared for Nova. We highly recommend Nyasha whether your furry friend requires day care or over night boarding. We will certainly be using Nyasha again in the future. Thank you for looking after Nova so well, we really appreciated it.”
“Danni and Jordan were lovely and attentive with our dogs. They kept us up to date with how our dogs were doing and I think Merlin and Foley had a good time with them. Considering they were nonchalant when we came to collect them haha, we think that means they could have happily stayed with Danni for longer and they had felt comfortable and at home. Our dog Foley often decides he doesn’t want to go for walks, but Danni and Jordan patiently tried to walk him again and again, which was lovely. I would confidently recommend Danni and Jordan to any dog owner considering asking them to dog sit and I believe Merlin and Foley would love the opportunity to spend time with them again in the future ❤️”
