“I must say I was anxious leaving my dog Teddy with someone else as he is always with me, but I had absolutely no need to feel anxious or worried. From the first meeting with Adriana she immediately put me at my ease and welcomed myself and Teddy into her home. I could see she loved dogs very much and her genuine warmth and caring approach came across straight away with Teddy. He loved all the attention and cuddles she gave him and he felt very much at home. I highly recommend Adriana and will definitely be asking her to look after Teddy again.”
“Kate met us at the station and seemed great from the first minute. She sent us regular and consistent updates of how our dog (Roo) was settling in, and by all accounts she had a lovely time there, getting to know some other dogs and was really well treated. Well definitely recommend to use again. Thanks”
About: I’m currently welcoming my first clients through Rover and offering calm, reliable dog care in a true home-from-home family environment, with plenty of one-to-one attention and affection. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for and nurturing them. My husband also grew up with dogs, and in our home they are treated as part of the family — welcome on the sofa, on the bed, and included in everyday family life. My children (8 and 10) are gentle, loving and absolutely adore having doggy guests in the house. Our own dog, Coco, is friendly, sweet-natured, and enjoys having furry friends to stay. Whether it’s daycare, walks, or overnight boarding, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of care, exercise, play, and cuddles throughout their stay. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your dog with someone new, so I always provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I’m happy to care for small and medium-sized dogs who are friendly with other dogs and comfortable around children. I work from home a few mornings a week, so I have plenty of time to properly look after, care for, and spend quality time with your doggy. I have a spacious fenced garden and a small doggy to keep your fur baby company. We are a family of four - myself, my hubby and 2 children aged 8 and 10, who are always gentle and wonderful with our doggy guests. We are lucky to have three beautiful parks nearby. I ensure to provide plenty of fresh air, exercise, play and especially lots of love and attention.
“Begona looked after my dog Nancy for 5 days, Nancy is an anxious dog but she settled really quickly at Begona's house. Begona is competent and calm making it the perfect environment for her. Her dog, Rango, has a lovely calm personality making him the perfect companion. Thank you!”
“Kobe had a fantastic stay with Katie. She was wonderfully communicative throughout his visit and sent plenty of lovely photos that kept us reassured and smiling. It was clear he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d absolutely book with Katie again—highly recommended!”
“To be honest, I have to say that Lulu took better care of Chico than I did, and Chico was very comfortable with her and her family. I have been using this app since 2022 and have worked with many sitters, but Lulu was the best in every way.”
“What can we say !!! Lost for words honestly . I’ve found my babysitter for life Julian is a complete legend .. Henry was more than looked after by Julian , Julian had the time , commitment, communication and dedication in looking after my baby boy Henry , Julian trained Henry with the lead walking and took Henry out for more walks than needed , cooked Henry the best foods with plenty of videos and pictures everyday of Henry’s day to day life … Can honestly say if you are ever looking for someone to take care of your fur baby look no further Julian is your dog sitter .. Julian knows what he’s doing , can’t thank you enough Thank you for everything in-till next time . Speak soon”
“Obi loved his stay with Pratik, Shreshtha and their dog Coco. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a home away from home for their dog. The communication was excellent from the start. They provided regular updates with pictures and videos of how Obi was doing and he seemed to have an amazing few days with them and their lovely dog Coco.”
About: Hi, I’m Arina! I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life and honestly can’t imagine it any other way. I’m a proud Pomeranian mum, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a close eye on routines. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, and I love making them feel comfortable, loved, and part of the pack while they’re with me. I work full-time in Central London, so during weekdays I can host dogs who are comfortable spending a few quiet hours on their own. Weekends are ideal (Friday evening to Sunday, including bank holidays), when I’m fully available to give pets my time, attention, walks, and lots of care. I live in a bright, cozy flat with a secure balcony in High Barnet, surrounded by parks, green trails, and a private greenery area—perfect for safe walks and playtime. I only host small, well-trained, friendly dogs who get along with my Pomeranian. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, maintain a calm, clean environment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home.
About: Hi, I’m Kat! North London HR professional and dog lover who shares my home with Thoth, my 5-year-old Norwegian Forest cat. I have strong experience with senior dogs – particularly caring for an elderly Shih Tzu, managing his daily medication and special care needs. My experience includes: - Dogs from 6-month-old puppies to 14-year-olds - All breeds, all ages – I adapt to each dog's individual needs I work for a defence company (fully vetted) and offer some weekday/evening/weekend walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight boarding (my place or yours). Medication management, gentle routines, personalised care – I treat every dog like my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role (3 days WFH), so I have flexible availability: - WFH days: Extra time for walks/drop-ins, or I can stay at your place (with WiFi access) - Weekdays: Available after 5pm + overnights when needed - Weekends: Free Fri–Sun, all day and night In my North London home: Thoth (my curious indoor Norwegian Forest cat) stays indoors but loves watching garden visitors from the window. The garden door stays closed, but we have a secure communal garden (fully fenced, no street access) if your dog needs space to play. No other pets nearby – neighbours don’t own pets, so it’s a calm environment. Parks nearby – just a quick 10–15 min walk away for exercise and fresh air. In your home (house sitting): I follow your routines exactly – feeding, medication, walks, playtime. Secure doors/windows always checked; I treat your home like my own. Happy to water plants, bring in post, or do light housework too.
“Greg was great with Kita. I’m always nervous leaving her with a sitter but Greg was incredibly attentive, sent daily updates and even gave her a bath when he noticed her allergies were acting up! He also had other pups over some days so my dog got to play and have her own holiday. Overall we had a really great experience and my partner and I felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands for the week we were away. We’ll definitely use Greg again for sittings!”
“Moby had a great time with Mirco and Adriana this was his second time with them and he always loves their company. They are clearly experienced and caring. I would 100% recommend them and will be using them again in the future!”
“Laura was great, she looked after Bruce for two nights and kept us regular updated on how he was doing with some photos and videos. He was well looked after and we'd definitely use Laura again. Thanks”
“Claudette is very friendly and you can tell she loves dogs. Great communication to keep us aware of what Milo was up to and flexible in changing timings as requirements change. Milo had a great time with Claudette.”
“Sheena was absolutely wonderful with Bruno, he felt comfortable and relaxed with her very quickly, and it was lovely to see how happy and settled he was in her care. Sheena kept me updated, gave him lots of attention and playtime, and I could tell Bruno really enjoyed spending time with her. Thank you so much Sheena for taking such amazing care of Bruno! We truly appreciate it 🌸 I would recommend Sheena to anyone looking for someone kind and trustworthy to after their dog.”
About: My experience with dogs really started with Chicho, my French Bulldog 🐾. And honestly, he was the best teacher I could've asked for. French Bulldogs aren't the easiest dogs to figure out, the breathing quirks, the heat sensitivity, the stubbornness when they've decided they don't want to move. Working through all of that gave me a much better feel for dogs in general. I started noticing when a dog is genuinely anxious versus just being a bit dramatic, how much routines matter, and how to help a dog feel calm somewhere new. Since then I've spent time with dogs of different breeds and sizes, and I think that's where you really learn. Every dog has its own thing going on. Some want to be reassured every ten minutes, some just clock where the sofa is and they're sorted. I've gotten pretty good at reading that quickly. I don't have years of professional history to list, but what I do have is real, day-to-day experience caring for dogs and genuinely caring about getting it right. Your dog will be treated like mine. 🐶❤️ I work freelance in digital marketing, so my schedule's fairly relaxed. No office to dash off to, no fixed hours, which means fitting dogs into the day is dead easy. 🐾 I'm also right on the doorstep of a park, literally. So walks aren't a whole thing, it's straight out the door and you're there. Grass, open space, plenty of other dogs to have a good sniff around. Honestly it's a decent setup, probably more ideal for the dogs than it is for me. 😄 Whether it's a walk, a full day, or an overnight stay, the approach is pretty much the same. I keep things calm, consistent, and as close to their normal routine as possible. If they're used to eating at a certain time or sleeping in a specific spot, I'll work around that. Dogs do better when things feel familiar, even in a new place. For day care and overnights at mine, they've got a comfortable home environment, nothing too precious or off limits. 🏡 Chicho taught me early on that dogs need space to just be dogs. For walks, we're straight into the park, good distance, proper time outside, not a quick loop around the block. I always keep owners updated with a few photos and a message during the day. I know how much you worry, even when you try not to. 😄🐾

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: My first pet was a cat called Rambo- luckily his behaviour didn’t always match the name. I house sat a few cats in Australia, some from multi-cat households requiring different feeding schedules and food. I have given cats eye drops and syringe medicine which is as much as I’m comfortable giving a cat
“May was such a brilliant cat sitter for Tofu. She was so communicative about everything from important things to little detail and really went the extra mile to play with Tofu daily and give him lots of attention and care. He seemed so happy when I got home! Thank you May for looking after Tofu so well!”
“Ashleigh is a wonderful person, caring and so reliable! I couldn't recommend her enough! We were away for long and Ashleigh took care of our daughter and home perfectly 😻I cannot thank her enough! 🙏”
“Roxanne was an absolute godsend and I am so grateful we booked her to look after Pippin for the duration of our time away! Pippin tends to be shy and reserved but he warmed up to her quickly and we recieved some lovely update from her about his time with her. She kept to his feeding schedule really well, and we would definitely recommend her!”
“Nolwenn was excellent and adored by the cats. She sent a perfect amount of pictures and messages while looking after our two and always very obliging during a period when Mabel was being difficult with her food. She even helped them rediscover a brush they didn’t realise before they absolutely love. Highly recommended. ”
“Katherine was fabulous with our cats! She really looked after them and gave them all the attention they needed :) Katherine always updated us really well so we were never left wondering. She followed our instructions perfectly! Thank you”
About: I have owned pets since I was young so understand the responsibility of looking after an animal. I grew up with a semi feral ginger boy and a black domestic short hair chunky boy, both being outdoor cats with very different personalities I learnt a lot about body language and understanding how different cats behave and the individual needs they have. I now have my sweet heart calico girl Ember who is an indoor cat which has been a great insight into providing good enrichment to make her life the best it can be. I have also looked after family and friend’s cats while they are away on holidays making sure they have plenty of playtime and nutritional treats.
“We had a fantastic experience and would absolutely book again. Seryal did drop-in visits for 5 days and was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with cats. We received regular updates, which made it easy to relax while we were away. She also went above and beyond by keeping the house tidy during her visits, which was incredibly appreciated. Our pet was clearly well cared for, and everything was exactly as agreed. Highly recommend.”
“Cheryl took such wonderful care of Tyche. Tyche had a few peeing accidents and Cheryl was so patient and understanding about it. She dealt with everything calmly, kept me updated, and I never once felt worried. Would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her! Thank you, Cheryl 😊”
“Natasha took great care of Jack and Ursula while I was on away for almost 3 weeks. Daily updates and great communication meant I never worried about my cats and they were happy and cared for by the time I was back. Thank you!”
“Krystal helped us out over 2 days while we were away, looking after our two outdoor cats Mia and Kedi. She visited us a day before on short notice to meet our cats. It goes without a doubt that Krystal knows exactly how to approach a cat in a way that makes the cat feel comfortable and relaxed. She was very gentle and calm around all of our cats, showing her professionalism and experience. She is also so friendly and easy to talk to :) Krystal made sure to send us plenty of photos, messages and even videos putting our mind at ease. We cannot recommend Krystal enough as someone who is both experienced and very thorough. Thank you!”

“We were a bit nervous about leaving our cat for the first time but Michelle took great care of him and the photos & updates she shared from her visits were very reassuring. Cat doesn't seem to have been stressed out by us leaving him with her & his food and litter areas have been well kept. I will definitely book her services again for future trips away from home.”
“Caroline does an amazing job of looking after our two kittens! She sends us lots of pictures and videos of them whilst we are away which is very reassuring. She is super reliable and follows all our instructions (which for two kittens are quite detailed!) Everything was in good order when we got back too. Thanks so much Caroline!”

“Jade cat sat for the second time for us and our cats were pleased to see her again which is undoubtedly a good sign! This time was more complex as Leo was in need of wound cleaning and antibiotic and steroid treatment but she handled it without issue and we came home to a cat looking healthier than when we left!”

“Kate is amazing! Freddie loves walking with her and he comes back super happy, clean and fed. Kate gives me updates throughout the whole day and send me pictures and the occasional video so I’m always updated. I highly recommend her and so glad I’ve found her.”
“It shows how much Laura and Alex adore dogs and take care of them. Maya loved her stay with Laura - she played so much that she passed out as soon as she came home. Laura and Alex send you amazing photos and videos throughout the day - and in all of them, Maya had the biggest smile on her face. Recommend them!”
“Katie was absolutely lovely. We were so happy knowing our little dog was spending her first day care with such a kind and caring person. Nila is usually very nervous around new people, but she was surprisingly calm and quickly became attached to Katie, which really says a lot. It gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely be booking again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful sitter.”

“Begona and family looked after Caju on Easter Sunday and were great company for her. Begona’s communication was fantastic, and they took her on multiple walks with Rango throughout the day, for which it was so nice for her to have some doggy company. We’d definitely use them again for Caju 😃”
“I took Tilly to stay with Lulu for the day. She was absolutely amazing. Kept me informed all day with lots of pictures and updates, she even took Tilly for a little walk despite the miserable weather outside which I’m sure Tilly appreciated it very much. I will definitely be asking Lulu to look after Tilly again.”

“Alison was great at communicating. She was very kind and gentle with my boy who can get anxious when he is left with someone new, and he settled In well with her as a result. Alison has a lovely welcoming home and garden. I would highly recommend her to others.”
“Thank you so much Doris for taking care of our Lilu for the evening. She really loved it and didn’t wanna go back 😅 Doris kept me updated with lots of texts, photos and videos. Highly recommended dog sitter ❤️ will definitely book again. Thank you!”
“Above and beyond amazing sitters/ppl!! After a full day under their care, I picked up my dog who was in a very happy state and clearly well looked after. My dog can be demanding with play so it was a relief to know they had a dog that can meet my own’s crazy needs for playing all day. They were also very flexible with my timing for drop off and pickup that I had to keep changing last minute due to my plans being changed as well. Thank you Pratik and Shreshtha for being great ppl and even helping me get a pet friendly cab with my phone struggles during pickup. Looking forward to booking you both again and just being connected in general :))”
About: Calm, experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of dogs and cats. I grew up with a family dog for 13 years, which gave me a deep understanding of daily care, routine, and the bond pets build with their people. I’ve travelled across Australia caring for cats and dogs in a variety of homes, gaining hands-on pet sitting experience with different routines, personalities, and environments. I’ve also worked with a support dog puppy breeder for 3 weeks, where I gained practical experience with training, structure, and early development. Alongside this, I’m training as a dog groomer and learning canine first aid, so safety, care, and attention to detail are always a priority. Most of all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have full availability until mid June to end of July when I start my dog grooming course. I will have days in between off, and I will be available for evening walks and check ins. I respond quickly and honestly so you can feel assured with your plans. In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with full respect and keep things clean, tidy, and consistent so pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, especially those who are shy, anxious, or need a gentler approach, and I adjust my care to suit their needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, and any specific instructions from the owner. I live with my parents (I’m 30, it’s 2026, it is what it is) in a semi-detached house. Your fur babies will have access to the nice large, fenced garden, warm converted garage space and open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area. We are an animal-loving family.
“Jess had just arrived from Australia and was a bit out of sorts and nervous, so I was anxious too. Caroline was calm and reassuring with Jess, taking her for plenty of walks to use up some of her nervous energy and got her into a good routine. Jess quickly settled and was always happy to be left with Caroline each day whilst I was at work. Caroline was accommodating and flexible with times for drop off and pick up and kept me informed through the day. Jess will definitely miss her fun days with Caroline. Highly recommended.”
“We’ve just started working with Janice (three days so far), but I’m already really impressed. She’s been super nice and very responsive, and I love that she shares lots of pictures and updates about my pet Dolly ( Energetic Jack Russel), it makes me feel at ease. Overall, I’m really happy with the experience so far and excited to keep working with her.”

About: Hello there :) I am a 37 years old used to animals as I grew up with an adorable Shitzu and two cats. I now have my own 4 years old Sheltie, that is the sweetest dog in the world ! She is on the shy side, so I am used to handle and train her gently. She showed great progress since the beginning. I am currently staying at home and therefore am always available to keep the dog company. I also have a enclosed small garden with grass for their natural needs. My partner is also at home half of the week, and we go for dog walks together. Hope to meet you soon ! 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 small garden with grass for their natural needs, and am walking distance of parks and meadows such as Whestone Stray and Brook Farm open space.
About: Hi, I’m Victoria, the heart behind FurGo! All my life, I’ve been surrounded by animals growing up with them, caring for them, and forming deep bonds that shaped who I am. That lifelong love naturally led me to pursue a career in animal care, and I went on to qualify as an Animal Welfare Officer. People often say, “Find what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” That’s exactly how I feel. Looking after animals isn’t a job to me it’s my passion, and I carry it with my whole heart. I’m a qualified Animal Welfare Officer with hands-on experience in pet sitting, animal transport, and one-on-one care. I’m also currently studying Wildlife Rehabilitation to deepen my understanding of animal behaviour and well-being. What truly sets me apart is my calm, gentle, and intuitive approach—especially with senior pets. I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for my own beloved Yorkie, Ritchie, who’s now a senior with special needs. This has given me an exceptional level of patience, softness, and experience in supporting elderly dogs with dignity, comfort, and love. I have a natural connection with animals most pets seem to sense it right away. Even nervous or shy animals quickly relax around me, and I adapt to their pace, personality, and needs with genuine care. I’m fully insured and hold a clean DBS check for peace of mind. With FurGo, your pet is not just looked after they’re understood, respected, and cared for like family.

So walks aren't a whole thing, it's straight out the door and you're there. Grass, open space, plenty of other dogs to have a good sniff around. Honestly it's a decent setup, probably more ideal for the dogs than it is for me. 😄 Whether it's a walk, a full day, or an overnight stay, the approach is pretty much the same. I keep things calm, consistent, and as close to their normal routine as possible. If they're used to eating at a certain time or sleeping in a specific spot, I'll work around that. Dogs do better when things feel familiar, even in a new place. For day care and overnights at mine, they've got a comfortable home environment, nothing too precious or off limits. 🏡 Chicho taught me early on that dogs need space to just be dogs. For walks, we're straight into the park, good distance, proper time outside, not a quick loop around the block. I always keep owners updated with a few photos and a message during the day. I know how much you worry, even when you try not to. 😄🐾

About: Calm, experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of dogs and cats. I grew up with a family dog for 13 years, which gave me a deep understanding of daily care, routine, and the bond pets build with their people. I’ve travelled across Australia caring for cats and dogs in a variety of homes, gaining hands-on pet sitting experience with different routines, personalities, and environments. I’ve also worked with a support dog puppy breeder for 3 weeks, where I gained practical experience with training, structure, and early development. Alongside this, I’m training as a dog groomer and learning canine first aid, so safety, care, and attention to detail are always a priority. Most of all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have full availability until mid June to end of July when I start my dog grooming course. I will have days in between off, and I will be available for evening walks and check ins. I respond quickly and honestly so you can feel assured with your plans. In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with full respect and keep things clean, tidy, and consistent so pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, especially those who are shy, anxious, or need a gentler approach, and I adjust my care to suit their needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, and any specific instructions from the owner. I live with my parents (I’m 30, it’s 2026, it is what it is) in a semi-detached house. Your fur babies will have access to the nice large, fenced garden, warm converted garage space and open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area. We are an animal-loving family.
About: Hi, I am an experienced cat carer and owner. I have rescued many cats from rescue centres like the Scratching Post, the RSPCA and Battersea Cats and Dogs home. (I am lucky enough to share my home with my now 17 year old puddy cat). I have cared for many cats over the years including cats who have special medical needs, those fur babies who are nervous and timid as well as those who love playing, like lots of attention cuddles and strokes. I am a kind and caring person who loves spending time caring for cats (and dogs and some small furry friends too)! I am reliable, honest and trustworthy and would be pleased to chat through your requests. I always send regular updates, photos and videos of your furry friend. Their well being is paramount and I hope this would ensure you feel at ease and happy they are being looked after and cared for as per your wishes. I have volunteered for the RSPCA at a local centre caring for lovely but sadly unwanted and abused dogs. Going for walks, playing fun ball games and helping to socialise them. I have completed a Veterinary Care Assistants Course which includes Pet First Aid. I also have a current police DBS check. I have fabulous reviews & references for past cat and dog sitting 🐾🐾😊
“Katherine has been walking our golden retriever, Teddy regularly for over 9 months now. Teddy loves Katherine and he is always very happy to see her. They have a great bond and she is very confident and capable in managing his excitable behaviour! I highly recommend Katherine as an experienced and very reliable dog walker.”
“Thank you Caroline for taking Peach on a lovely long walk and giving her a chance to go in all the muddy puddles (which she loves) and go duck watching! 😄 Seems like she had a great time”
“I can highly recommend Lucia. She takes care of our dog Leon on a regular basis. She has a great hand with dogs, is very friendly and reliable. Thank you for your amazing service!”

About: Hi, I’m Kat! North London HR professional and dog lover who shares my home with Thoth, my 5-year-old Norwegian Forest cat. I have strong experience with senior dogs – particularly caring for an elderly Shih Tzu, managing his daily medication and special care needs. My experience includes: - Dogs from 6-month-old puppies to 14-year-olds - All breeds, all ages – I adapt to each dog's individual needs I work for a defence company (fully vetted) and offer some weekday/evening/weekend walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight boarding (my place or yours). Medication management, gentle routines, personalised care – I treat every dog like my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role (3 days WFH), so I have flexible availability: - WFH days: Extra time for walks/drop-ins, or I can stay at your place (with WiFi access) - Weekdays: Available after 5pm + overnights when needed - Weekends: Free Fri–Sun, all day and night In my North London home: Thoth (my curious indoor Norwegian Forest cat) stays indoors but loves watching garden visitors from the window. The garden door stays closed, but we have a secure communal garden (fully fenced, no street access) if your dog needs space to play. No other pets nearby – neighbours don’t own pets, so it’s a calm environment. Parks nearby – just a quick 10–15 min walk away for exercise and fresh air. In your home (house sitting): I follow your routines exactly – feeding, medication, walks, playtime. Secure doors/windows always checked; I treat your home like my own. Happy to water plants, bring in post, or do light housework too.
“Jennifer is honestly the best. I had a very chaotic week at work and needed some last-minute help with walking Toast, and she came to the rescue. She walked him four times, was super reliable, always on time, and communication was great throughout. Toast can be quite insecure when first meeting new people, and Jennifer was incredibly respectful of that. She even went out of her way to get treats to help him warm up to her — which worked perfectly. I REALLY appreciated that extra care and thoughtfulness. clearly a kind person. Thank you so much, Jennifer. I’ll definitely be booking future walks and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Roxanne was great taking my dog Maple for walks last week. She was available for a video call for a last minute booking, she communicated well and asked about Maple so she could provide for her needs. She kept me up to date and Maple seemed to enjoy spending time with her, I would definitely book again.”

“Megan was a lucky last minute find that saved me when I had to be away with work. She has been fantastic all the way through and Jackson absolutely loves her! She will be my 1st choice from now on!”
“All seemed to go great! Kezia was really friendly and really keen to know all about Asha and what we wanted and followed my instructions. She took photos and Asha seemed v happy. All good.”
About: I have had pets in the home since I was very young. I frequently dog sitted while at university, long term and short term care. I have looked after everything from a beautiful ginger Pomeranian, to a miniature pinscher, to a springer spaniel and our gorgeous family Labrador, Toby! I am a passionate dog lover, confident around all breeds and have experience in reinforcing training habits. I am also a very active person so enjoy long walks with the pups! I work a hydrid job so can accommodate dogs in my home on days I am working from home. However I am not able to take dogs into my office so they would need to be comfortable being left for up to 6 hours a day. I am flexible on the weekends however and happy to accommodate longer walks or activities. My home is a secure 2 bedroom flat with a living area, so there is plenty of space your your dog to feel at home! I have a fenced balcony for fresh air in the home but also live near several green spaces and dog friendly environments. My residential neighbourhood is ideal for dog walks and potty breaks. I am a very clean and tidy individual so whether your dog at at my place or yours, you can rest assured I will leave the place spotless!

About: Had a very cute cavapoo for 11.5 years who unfortunately passed away Well versed in all things dog sitting/walking Unfortunately can’t commit to owning my own dog at the moment but keen to make some new furry friends. Always have loved dogs. Sometimes prefer them to people 🙂 I’m in the office twice a week but at home the rest of the week. I love going out on walks on the weekend, particularly in big dog-loving parks like Hampstead Heath I am a friendly and trustworthy person. I’ve had my own dog and have looked after dogs for years. Will regularly take them out for toilet breaks and ensure safety on walks
About: I had a dog from a pup (lovely chocolate lab) since I was 12, and love being around dogs. I’ve dealt with a dog at all stages of life, caring for mine when he was an old man at 14 years old. I often offer to look after people’s dogs, taking them into my home, visiting theirs and simply taking them on nice long walks to different places and find it as enjoyable as the dogs! I am in the office 4x a week (Kensington area) So mid-week stays are possible if your dog is able to be left at home during the day time. Otherwise Friday to Monday is my best availability. I have experience of staying in other people’s homes to look after dogs and would be happy to provide references for anyone interested. Unfortunately I live in rented accommodation so cannot take dogs into my home (not for long periods at least). I have stayed in a home for several dogs, including two lovely Dalmatians (see reviews) so am comfortable with looking after multiple dogs of varying sizes. I’ve also looked after rescue dogs who may require certain care and am happy to fit into your dog’s lifestyle whilst I look after them so they don’t lose any of their routine! :)
About: Hello there :) I am a 37 years old used to animals as I grew up with an adorable Shitzu and two cats. I now have my own 4 years old Sheltie, that is the sweetest dog in the world ! She is on the shy side, so I am used to handle and train her gently. She showed great progress since the beginning. I am currently staying at home and therefore am always available to keep the dog company. I also have a enclosed small garden with grass for their natural needs. My partner is also at home half of the week, and we go for dog walks together. Hope to meet you soon ! 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 small garden with grass for their natural needs, and am walking distance of parks and meadows such as Whestone Stray and Brook Farm open space.

“Kate met us at the station and seemed great from the first minute. She sent us regular and consistent updates of how our dog (Roo) was settling in, and by all accounts she had a lovely time there, getting to know some other dogs and was really well treated. Well definitely recommend to use again. Thanks”
“To be honest, I have to say that Lulu took better care of Chico than I did, and Chico was very comfortable with her and her family. I have been using this app since 2022 and have worked with many sitters, but Lulu was the best in every way.”
“Caroline was super responsive while we were away - keeping us updated on Alfie. She’s such a dog lover and you can tell really cares about the animals. Would definitely use Caroline again.”
About: I have 30 years experience caring for cats and have three years experience dog sitting for friends. Our friends frequently rely on us to care for their animals when they are on holiday. Me and partner work from home full time. We have a few parks nearby us for walks at lunch time and before/ after work. We would have plenty of time to play with the dogs in between our work and the dogs could join us for long walks. We make sure to keep an eye on the dogs, and to read the signals for needing water/ toliet/ attention. We have a fenced garden that the dog can use, although we will be going for lots of walks at the nearby parks.
“Thank you Katherine for taking care of biscuit as if she was your own, she almost didn’t want to come back home :) She was happy throughout and we had not a single worry Katherine was amazing and kept us up to date with messages and pics and we will definitely be sending biscuit to Katherine in future Thanks so much”

“Evelyn was absolutely amazing and did an outstanding job with Snoopy. From the very first moment, it was clear that she has extensive experience with dogs, and she was so gentle, caring, and pampering with my dog. Throughout my entire vacation, she made sure to send me regular updates and lovely photos, which kept me completely at ease. I could travel with peace of mind, knowing my dog was in the safest and most dedicated hands. Highly recommended!”
“Doris was amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving Goose with her that we could actually relax on our holiday. She kept us so updated with adorable photos and videos and we couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone else who wants to make sure their pet is well taken care of!”
About: With 12 years of dedicated dog ownership, I've honed my pet care skills, ensuring happy, healthy pups through love, and attention to their needs! I currently split my working hours between home and the office. I work from home around 3 days a week (these days can vary), which means I’m often able to have a dog with me throughout the day, including walks before work, during my lunch break, and in the evening. The other 2 days I’m in the office, so I’m available for care after work. My schedule can change week to week, so I always recommend messaging me even if my calendar shows as unavailable, as I may only be busy for part of the day! When looking after pets, either in my home or theirs, I aim to keep things as relaxed and familiar as possible so they feel comfortable and settled. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or any specific instructions around diet or medication. I make sure they get a good balance of exercise, playtime, and downtime, depending on their personality and energy levels. I really enjoy spending time with animals, so they’ll get plenty of attention and company, rather than just the basics! I also keep everything clean and tidy, and make sure they’re always safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Elisaveta took really great care of Gucci, I am happy that she was recommended to me. She made my cat very happy and comfortable during their stay. It is very apparent Elisaveta has a deep love of animals and formed a really nice connection to my pet which was very reassuring. I was sent regular pictures and videos updates. Elisaveta is very dedicated and went above and beyond at times. I would highly recommend her services and would use again! :)”
“I’ve got a lively Doberman who needs constant contact so kennels weren’t right for him. This was my first experience using in-house dog carers so was apprehensive as 40kg+ dogs aren’t the easiest. I have to say really happy with the experience - Rocco seemed to really enjoy the experience and the fact he had Gus to play with made it even better. Would highly recommend Simon and if he’ll have us would be happy to use again.”
