“Our cockapoo Ted has the best time staying with Anke and her family. He was so very well looked after and was happy and healthy. Anke shared lots of videos of Ted on walks and playing with other dogs. I will use Anke again and would t want my dog to stay with anyone else. 100% recommend Anke and her family. Thank you so very much xx”
“Brian & his partner took such great care of our Diva whilst we were away on holiday. They sent regular pics and updates throughout the day which was v kind. They picked up and dropped Diva off to our home again which was also v appreciated. Wonderful dog sitters and we will book again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with the care Ronnie gave our dog Arlo on Christmas Day. We had guests with a dog allergy, and Ronnie completely put our minds at ease. From the moment Arlo arrived, he was treated like a true member of the family—loved, cared for, and clearly having the best time. Ronnie made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout the day, and the photos he sent of Arlo enjoying Christmas were absolutely wonderful. You could see just how happy and relaxed Arlo was, which meant everything to us. We are so grateful to Ronnie and his family for their kindness and exceptional care. I would 100% recommend Ronnie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and genuinely fantastic dog sitter.”
“I can't recommend Jeanett highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucy. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Every day, she provided me with detailed updates on how Lucy was doing, including pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Lucy was happy, well-exercised, and clearly very well taken care of. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, Jeanett is the best choice.”
“It was the first time I left my puppy overnight with someone outside my family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Andrea was amazing with him, so patient and caring, even though he’s a very energetic Border Collie pup. He clearly felt comfortable and happy with her, and I could tell he really liked her. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave him, and I’ve already left him with her again because she made me feel very at ease.”
“Another great day for Kenji with Owen and doggy friends! Thank you so much for being so helpful and caring. He is always so happy to go there! 😁🐕 and I have a worry free day knowing Kenji is being looked after so well and having a great time!”
“Siobhan and Nick, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Teddy. I was kept updated throughout his stay and received photos every day, which gave me great peace of mind. Teddy is a very picky eater, but Siobhan went above and beyond by buying different foods to find something he would enjoy. Teddy came home happy, and so did I. I highly recommend them and would gladly leave Teddy in their care again.”
“George and Dot are the most amazing sitters, so friendly and communicative and are obviously very experienced with dogs! Boko had a brilliant time and can’t wait to go back 😀”
“This was our second boarding experience with Fernando and Morne and we couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They took exceptional care of our Shih Tzu and truly treated him like one of their own. It’s clear they are genuine dog lovers—their own dogs, Kiki and Bailey, are incredibly friendly, and our dog absolutely loved spending time with them, especially in their garden. Communication throughout was spotless and highly organised. We received regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to know he was happy, comfortable, and being so well looked after in our absence. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitters!”
“Heather was an amazing support. I know Ivy was in safe hands and she came back tired which means she was busy, had lots of fun and made a fuss of. Heather was easy to communicate with which makes the whole progress so easy. Thank you!”
About: I’m an Australian living in London who has loved dogs for as long as I could breathe. I owned a dog (Jack Russell x Staffy!) from the age of 5 to 20, so training and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to London, I haven’t been able to have a pet of my own, which is why I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’ve previously dog sat for friends and neighbours, both at my own place and in their homes. Morning runs are part of my daily routine so I can guarantee plenty of outdoor time for your pup! But no matter if it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles on the sofa, I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I am a freelancer and work from home which means I have a very flexible schedule. This means that I can provide lots of attention throughout the day and adapt to your dog’s needs. I live in a two-bedroom new build apartment with a balcony. We are a smoke-free household and do not have any pets. The building is very dog-friendly, has a fenced roof terrace, and also a fenced courtyard - both with plenty of grass to play around in. I also live 4 mins from a park. No matter where I am, I’ll always have your pet’s safety at the forefront of my mind at all times. I always treat everybody’s home with respect, so if housesitting, I will no doubt keep your home clean and tidy. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
“Kuma stayed at their home for 2 weeks while I traveled away to see family. It was the most lovely experience, and Kuma gets along with their dog Ashford really well. I received many videos and updates every single day, and it made my holiday so much more enjoyable to wake up to many pictures and a story about their day together - they really do go above and beyond, and they took care of Kuma like family, even bathing him when he got dirty and always making sure he was comfortable. Any time they wanted to do something for Kuma like bathe him or take him away on a day trip with everyone, they’d check in with me first and ask if it was okay - I really appreciated this as it shows that they respect my thoughts on his care, and I would say it helped fully earn my trust during his stay! I can see that Kuma’s gotten attached to them, and how happy he looks with Ashford makes me think maybe I need to get a dog for my dog 😂 But in all seriousness, I will be bringing Kuma back whenever everyone’s available as I’ve never seen him so happy away from home before, and I feel like Daniel and Brian are extremely trustworthy and caring sitters! Thank you again for the wonderful experience and for looking after Kuma 🙏🏻”

“Clara accommodated our last minute request and frequently shared the updates about Mango along with sharing his pictures. Mango was super happy with them and joined us back as a Happy puppy.

About: I am an animal-loving, responsible person with a special affection for cats. I have always loved their calm yet playful personalities, and it is very important to me that they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In my everyday life, I work as cleaner, but spending time with cats is something I truly enjoy and find very rewarding. I have had my own cat in the past, so I understand their needs, habits, and how important routine and a familiar environment are for them. I am patient, attentive, and always adapt to each cat’s personality — whether they are playful, cuddly, or more shy and independent.
“Zoya is great with cats . I always book her to look after my cat Benny and I know he will be looked after well. Zoya also very flexible to any request . I cannot recommend her more .”
“She was incredibly welcoming and kind, and I could tell right away that she genuinely loves cats. My cat felt comfortable and relaxed with her very quickly, which meant so much to me. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring hands. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I would happily trust her again in the future.”

About: Hi! We are Marcela and Nick. We are a dog loving married couple, who can't wait till we have a fluffy one of our own one day. Until then, we fill this void by taking care of other fury friends as if they are our own. Working from home enables us the flexibility to attends your dogs needs, such as going for long walks, plenty of cuddles and toilet breaks. I am an early bird and therefore have no problem starting my day with a quick walk. My husband Nick is an evening owl and he usually does the last toilet break of the day along with some good night snuggles. Both of our roles are flexible, allowing us to attend any needs at our chosen time and give your fur ball's undivided attention. Every dog has different needs and routines, so I ensure that this is not highly interrupted whilst staying with us. I try to make their stay as comfy as possible and guarantee they are well looked after by creating a safe space.
“I am very happy with the service provided by Giulia. She took care of her, the puppy was calm, she sent me pictures. She kept me informed during the day. Thank you very much for all the help. You are amazing Giulia.”
“Faith was excellent while sitting my boy Chaos for two days and one overnight stay. Chaos clearly adores her. She took him on a lovely adventure to Epping Forest and asked all the right questions during our introductory meeting. She also sends daily updates, which is very reassuring. I look forward to booking her again in the new year 💗”

“Friendly and communicative throughout. Layla was comfortable with him and everything went smoothly overall. As Layla can sometimes be a little stubborn when meeting new walkers, a bit more confidence and experience handling hesitant dogs would be beneficial, but he was patient and keen to make sure she was comfortable. Thank you for looking after her.”

I have a fenced garden and an adorable dog who is very friendly and playful, but if it bothers you, I can separate them so they're not in the same space, since my house is big and has several rooms.
About: Experienced with puppies, seniors, and special needs pets. Reliable, caring, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs, providing a safe, happy, and loving environment for every stay and playtime. Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. I love starting my day with walks, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it's cuddles or training, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pets feel happy and safe while you’re away. I offer a safe, loving environment in my apartment, with a secure balcony for your pet to enjoy fresh air. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure your pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed for safety and rest. Your pet’s well-being and trust are my top priorities!
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life having been raised with them in the house and attending to all their needs throughout the years. This includes raising dogs from puppies, teaching them tricks, monitoring their diet, going for walks, attending vet visits and caring for them their whole lives. I am currently between roles thus very flexible when it comes to the day/week routine. This may change in future but I remain available. My home is set up for both my cat and dog, from their discreet bedding (which is regularly changed), food and food bowls (all labelled with expiry date), grooming brushes and toys. This also includes a clear schedule for walking, feeding and play time. I am guilty of leaving what I am doing to attend to their needs.
About: I was raised with staffs and frenchies and babysit friends cats and dogs all the time. I absolutely love animals, think I was a dog in a previous life 😅 I work from home Monday Wednesday and Friday and am at home most weekends. Days I work from home are super flexible, I probably actively work for around 6 hours at my laptop I have lots of space for beds etc if needed but happy for the pets to sleep on my couch or in bed with me
About: I’m an Australian living in London who has loved dogs for as long as I could breathe. I owned a dog (Jack Russell x Staffy!) from the age of 5 to 20, so training and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to London, I haven’t been able to have a pet of my own, which is why I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’ve previously dog sat for friends and neighbours, both at my own place and in their homes. Morning runs are part of my daily routine so I can guarantee plenty of outdoor time for your pup! But no matter if it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles on the sofa, I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I am a freelancer and work from home which means I have a very flexible schedule. This means that I can provide lots of attention throughout the day and adapt to your dog’s needs. I live in a two-bedroom new build apartment with a balcony. We are a smoke-free household and do not have any pets. The building is very dog-friendly, has a fenced roof terrace, and also a fenced courtyard - both with plenty of grass to play around in. I also live 4 mins from a park. No matter where I am, I’ll always have your pet’s safety at the forefront of my mind at all times. I always treat everybody’s home with respect, so if housesitting, I will no doubt keep your home clean and tidy. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.

“Lizzy was amazing, accommodating and so warm and welcoming. Balou had a wonderful stay and my mind was at ease with daily updates and photos. I will be using Lizzy again. Thank you so much Lizzy.”
“Clara accommodated our last minute request and frequently shared the updates about Mango along with sharing his pictures. Mango was super happy with them and joined us back as a Happy puppy. She really took great care of Mango. Would definitely recommend her if you want someone trustworthy to look after your furry friend.”
“Weronika was a great help when we needed a last-minute sitter. She responded quickly, asked all the right questions, and was friendly throughout. We really appreciated the regular photo updates and how proactive she was in making sure our dog was well looked after. I would definitely recommend and happily book again.”
“Joshua looked after our dog Mew yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. He kept us updated throughout the evening with plenty of pictures and videos, which was really reassuring and lovely to see. Mew looked so happy and clearly had a great time. His dog Ovie is such a sweetie - so calm, friendly, and well behaved. He was a great companion for Mew to play with and learn from. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Maria was brilliant throughout the period she looked after Ozzy. She was so communicative and genuinely made him part of her family. All the family looked after him. He had a great time”
“I would absolutely book Olivia again. She met up with me the day before to get to know Tobi and his needs. Tobi also got acquainted with her dog too. Whilst Tobi stayed with Olivia, she sent me regular updates with photos and videos. She also stuck to his schedule and needs. Tobi seemed very comfortable when I went to pick him up too! Thanks so much Olivia for taking care of Tobi for me - at short notice too! :)”
“Xiaoyi took great care of my cat during the boarding and made sure he eats well and sleeps well. Xiaoyi’s place has great view and sunshine for the cat to enjoy. Highly recommend!”
“We honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to look after Jack and Oscar. Rahul and Aishvarya are an absolute one-in-a-million find! Kind, calm, warm, and clearly just as besotted with our dogs as we are (which is saying something!). From the moment we met them, we felt totally at ease and more importantly, so did the boys. It’s such a relief to know your pets are not only being looked after, but genuinely cared for by people who get them. They kept us updated, were super easy to communicate with, and honestly went above and beyond. We feel so lucky to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book them again. Thank you both so much and we will definitely be booking with you again!!”
“Alice is absolutely amazing, she took wonderful care of Rigatoni who stayed there for over a week, treated her like her own and provided us with continuous updates and photos/videos the whole time so we were assured she was having the best time. Would 100% recommend Alice to anyone wanting the best care for their dog. Thanks Alice!”
“Absolute angels. Had a family bereavement and MIA took Megan at very short notice. She was so good with communication, changes and sending us pics. Megan was happy and healthy when I collected her x”
“Jenn and her partner Sam were the most amazing hosts to our mini dachshund Coco when we went on holiday for a few weeks. From walks and playing ball (for long stints as Coco is a ball fiend) to snuggles on the sofa they clearly made it feel like a home away from home for her. We received updates and pictures throughout our trip so we always felt like we knew Coco was in safe hands. They were amazingly helpful and flexible even when we had delays on our way back. We would highly recommend them and I know Coco would love to visit again :)”
“Julija was a great carer for our Cockapoo - she was totally reliable , very attentive to the details we left with her , sent us loads of updates and photos throughout the stay and made him really welcome in her home . We would recommend her as a carer .”
“Anna took care of Kumo for an extended weekend while we were attending a wedding abroad. She was fantastic! Even before the stay, she was incredibly thoughtful and thorough, and asked all the right questions to make sure Kumo’s stay would be as comfortable as possible. While we were away she gave frequent updates with photos, videos, and delightful anecdotes of their adventures. It genuinely felt like we didn’t miss a beat. We’re so happy to have found her!”
“Laura was the absolute perfect sitter for our dog Ray. She had previously walked him a few times before boarding him for 3 nights. Ray suffers from separation anxiety and is on meds and so finding someone to leave him with can be stressful. Laura was completely understanding, reassured us throughout and sent us regular updates. Ray couldn’t have been happier while we were away which allowed us to relax and not have to worry about him. We would have no hesitation at recommending Laura.”
“Billie had a great stay with Darren overnight. He sent reassuring updates and gave us confidence that she was in good hands. We’d love Darren to take care of Billie again :) thank you!”
“Thank you Irina and family for looking after Blue, although the stay was cut short for health reasons but I'm sure that under different circumstances it would have been good.”
“Ann and Tony were great with Mochi. I could tell they love dogs, and Mochi seemed very happy with the walks and attention she got throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend, and book again!”
