“Sunshyne was marvelous with Mouse, establishing a connection very quickly and I felt very confident putting Mouse in her care while I was out. Many thanks Sunshyne!”

About: I’ve always had a dog since I was 8 years old so have grown up absolutely loving them. My first dog passed away 2 years ago and needed a lot of extra care and attention towards the end. So I am well versed in all the accidents, slow walks and medications needed for senior dogs. I have also had my current dog since he was a puppy so have recent experience of that too! I am always teaching him new tricks which he loves - for a treat of course! We go on long walks in the forest but have recently started running together. The bond you have with a dog is like nothing else which is part of why I love them so much. I am currently working full time, 9-5 hours. But I can fit visits and walks in the morning, evening and weekends, to suit you. I will always be sure to introduce myself slowly and follow the pet’s lead - never rushing them and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I would get as much information from you as possible about your pet, their personality, their routines and how you look after them so that I can take the best care of them in a way that’s familiar to them.

“Elizabeth has looked after my 2 cats very well whilst we were on holiday and would thoroughly recommend her. She sent us photos of the cats every day so we didn’t have to worry about them. I will certainly use Elizabeth again. Thanks x”

About: I've been around dogs for most of my life, with my family owning dogs for the past 17 years. Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to help care for their pets when needed. I've helped care for my parents' dog, taking her on walks and working on commands like "leave" and "drop". I have four rabbits of my own, so I'm just as happy caring for small pets and can offer rabbit drop-ins too. I've also looked after my neighbour's cats while they've been away on holiday. I enjoy spending time with dogs and find that they usually settle well with me. I'll always aim to follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. As a mum of 2 I fully understand busy schedules. I can be available within school hours Monday - Friday with occasional, specific availability outside of this. My home environment is best suited to small, calm visiting dogs needing companionship due to my own pets. I have a secure front and back garden available for supervised toileting breaks. My main availability is for walks and drop in visits, where I can offer consistent care and attention in your pet’s own environment. I’m also very fortunate to be close to Epping Forest, Hainault forest, and surrounding green spaces, ideal for dogs who enjoy longer walks, exploring, or a good game of fetch. Locally, there are also plenty of quiet, safe streets suitable for regular lead walks.

“Emilie provided a cat-sitting service for our two kitties over the course of a week, popping in each day to ensure they were well fed, hydrated, and that their litter trays were clean. Emilie did a fantastic job over the week - we had absolutely no issues or problems while we were away. Emilie was also kind enough to send pictures and videos each day, which really helped put our minds at ease. Our kitties seemed to really like her visits too! Finally, we found that Emilie was very communicative and eager to take on the visits. Overall, I can highly recommend Emilie as a cat sitter, and we’ll surely be taking advantage of her cat-sitting services in the future.”

“Kiya has been absolutely amazing with Riley. I completely trust her, and it’s so reassuring that she has experience with French Bulldogs. She’s super responsive and kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, so I always knew how Riley was getting on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

“Thanks again Kerri! Another lovely visit from you with the kitties. I really appreciate you taking the extra time, not just to feed them but to have a lottle play too! And as always, the photos are really nice to see - thanks you!x”

I will follow all safety instructions provided by care givers on how to care for their animals to ensure they are safe and well looked after.

About: I have had dogs since I was five - I enjoy being around any kind of breed I understand their body language well. I worked as a boarding kennel assistant two summers ago where I looked after a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I am a student who will be looking for work when I come home for the summer. I am not employed and so can be very flexible in the hours and days required. I will follow any instructions you give me very seriously regarding the care of your pet. I would also love to play with them and give them loads of attention if they like that.

About: Experience with young and old dogs with varying needs. Having owned dogs my whole life, I am well equipped to cater to their important needs AND their love and attention. I frequently look after my Nana’s dog and I have my own (very needy!) Basset Hound. I work as a writer, so flexibility is my middle name! I can work from anywhere and love taking breaks by walking in nature, which makes taking a fluffy companion with me a treat. I am confident and responsible, I am happy to cater to the exact needs of your pet. From pets which need lots of help and attention, to pets who just need company in the house!

“We asked Dalia to drop in on Moose to give him his lunch and a potty break and play for a few hours. She took good care of him and sent updates.”

About: Myself and my partner Annabel both work mostly from home with a lot of spare time, so can be very flexible with timings! I love any length of walk and taking the time to make sure they are comfortable with me! I currently have my own dog and have had one before him so know the importance of dog safety. I have learnt the best local areas to walk dogs. I always go on long walks and would love to have others join, as well as help younger dogs become socialised which at the moment can be quite hard. My dog Pluto is perfect for shy dogs to meet as he is friendly to all and never barks! I love meeting new dogs, and making sure they have the fun walks they deserve! I would love to meet you and your pet. I’m working from home and so is my partner, Annabel, so between us we will always be able to look after your pet in the days and evenings and overnight if needed. I have a dog who will love to have your dog as company, he is very relaxed and friendly and gets along with big and small dogs and puppys. I will be home the whole time with the dogs and have lots of comfy places for them to relax. If they need any medicine or any special things just let me know.

About: For the past 3 years, I've had the joy of caring for amazing animals while working as a pet sitter and dog walker at LFKK in South Africa. Building trust is my top priority, ensuring both pets and their owners feel comfortable and relaxed. This includes keeping entrusted homes sparkling clean. I've consistently received positive feedback, thanks to the exceptional care I provide for a variety of furry friends. One example that highlights this is a long-term dog walking client I cared for over 2 years. We built a wonderful connection, and I ensured their pups received not only exercise but also plenty of love and playful adventures. My passion for animals stems from growing up with dogs my whole life. Recently, I adopted a wonderful cat who has opened my eyes to the unique world of feline friends. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of animal behavior and the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for all our furry companions. As I've recently moved to the UK, I'm currently seeking new opportunities. This allows me to offer my services as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have experience caring for animals and ensuring their well-being, and I'm passionate about keeping them healthy and happy. Currently, I can provide exceptional in-home pet care. Due to living arrangements, bringing pets into my temporary residence wouldn't be ideal. This also ensures a comfortable environment for both my existing cat and your furry friend. I'm a highly dependable individual who prioritizes maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. You can be confident your home will be left exactly as you found it.
