“Thank you Rover for introducing me to Adriana! She's so warm and inviting. Ivy had a fantastic stay with her and I was comforted knowing she was in good hands. Hope to see you again! Thank you so much for being so welcoming.”
“We had our first stay with Greg and Virginia for our goldendoodle Luna for 1 week in April and she loved every minute. Regular updates which was so reassuring. We could tell luna was having a ball based on the videos and feedback and could see she was well exercised and looked after Would highly recommend 👌🏻 Thank you”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 15 years. Our family has always had pets, including a 15-year-old Fox Terrier, a French Bulldog, a cat and a parrot. I now live in London with my Chihuahua, Rocky, who is calm, friendly and loves other dogs. For the past year, I have been actively providing pet sitting services in London. Before moving to the UK, I spent over two years attending weekly dog training classes with my French Bulldog in Estonia. Those classes gave me valuable hands-on experience and a strong understanding of dog behaviour, body language and positive training methods. I know that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always adapt my care to their individual needs. My priority is to make every dog feel safe, relaxed and at home while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work as a freelance marketing specialist, which allows me to work remotely from home. This means I spend most of my time at home and can provide dogs with plenty of attention, companionship, regular walks and a consistent routine throughout the day. Their comfort, safety and happiness are always my priority. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, smoke-free flat with my friendly Chihuahua, Rocky. I only accept pets from one household at a time to provide a calm and low-stress environment. Every dog is introduced carefully, has constant access to fresh water, regular walks, plenty of attention and a comfortable place to rest. I always follow each owner’s feeding routine and any special instructions, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their dog’s stay.
“Thank you Laura and Alex for looking after Nipsey. He had a great time in your home and we loved all the photos and updates that you sent us while we were on holiday. This was the first time that we have left him with a dog sitter and we will have no hesitation in recommending you to others. We will definitely be using your services again. All the best, Leena, Darren & Nipsey (woof, woof)”
“Hi Zsanett looked after my french bulldog for 2 nights 3 days during the heatwave I left her a copy of what his daily routine was during this time which she fully took on board. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times My french bulldog came back happy well looked after and reasonably tired Thank you Zsanett”
“We couldn't have asked for a better person to look after our dog, Tiny, while we were away. Ed was absolutely wonderful—kind, caring, and clearly a true dog lover. He kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Tiny was so well looked after and clearly enjoyed her time with him. We’d happily recommend Ed to anyone—he’s fantastic with dogs and genuinely loves what he does.”
“Tim took care of our Vizsla during the February half-term 2025, and we were incredibly pleased with the care he provided. He kept us updated with regular feedback and sent pictures of our dog, which gave us great peace of mind. Tim took excellent care of our Vizsla, ensuring he went on regular walks around his home and received plenty of attention. Thank you, Tim, for being so reliable and thoughtful with our dog!”
“Claudette took such great care of Harley! She kept me updated with photos and videos, and I could tell Harley was well looked after and got plenty of love and attention. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Elmo clearly had a lovely time staying with Marina! I am extremely grateful as I always worry about leaving him with some one new but Marina immediately put us both at ease with her calm friendly care. Elmo had lots of walks and came home very happy. Huge thank you to Marina!! :-)”
“My two girls have just returned from 12 days with Kate. This was their first time boarding and they have come back safe, happy and as though nothing has happened. Riley is one to hold grudges, so we would know if her holiday wasn't to her liking! We have experienced many dog sitting services and Kate is of the best kind: relaxed, fun but aware of potential dangers. We felt that she knows dogs well and doesn't expect them to behave like people. We would be happy to use her services again and to recommend her to others.”
“Katie is a kind and loving soul, who looked after Bailey with much care, informing me of his weekend stay around 3-4 times a day sending the nicest photos and detailed notes. I loved the fact she sent a questionnaire ahead of his to ensure she had as much information on Bailey as possible. It shows her responsible nature and cares for dogs as if they were her own. It was my first time using Katie and I would recommend her to any doggy parent. Thank you Katie!”
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!

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.

“Our dog needed to quarantine in England for 6 months before she was allowed to enter the US and we couldn't have asked for better than Caroline. She loved and took care of our baby as if she was her own. No words for how pleased we are! Caroline has become a real friend of ours in all of this. Endless thanks to her!”

“Krystal took on a challenging job: visiting our cat Steely twice a day for four weeks over the summer, and she absolutely did not disappoint. From the first time we met her, it was obvious that Krystal really knows cats and understands how to approach them. She is also incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and put us at ease straight away. We were very anxious about leaving Steely for such a long time, especially as it was the first time we had been away from him for so long, but Krystal made the whole experience much easier. She never missed a visit, often stayed longer than required, and was always attentive and helpful. She communicated with us after every visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Her rate was also very reasonable, which made a big difference for such a long booking. We came home to a happy cat and a home that was completely in order. I would definitely book Krystal again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and knowledgeable cat sitter!”
“Ashleigh was fantastic! Daily updates of the clan antics kept me informed that everyone was well and enjoying her staying overnight. The girls and boy were calm and relaxed when I came home and looked at me as if to say 'oh your back' 😹 Lovely touch coming back to a welcome home note and printed polaroid photos of the cats during her stay. 5*”
About: I’ve owned cats my whole life and have plenty of experience caring for them, making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I even have 2-4 of the local cats regularly stop by for a cuddle and a treat, and I love taking the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable I understand that every cat is different. Some enjoy lots of fuss and playtime, while others prefer a quieter approach and need time to build trust. I’m always happy to follow your cat’s usual routine, whether that’s feeding, playing, grooming, administering medication (if required), or simply keeping them company. Alongside this, I have experience training kittens and caring for senior cats, understanding the extra patience, attention, and care they may require. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and feeding visits, always making sure your cat feels comfortable and relaxed whilst you’re away. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos throughout my time with your cat, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy, safe, and in caring hands.
About: I’ve always lived with cats of all different personalities and temperaments. The longest one was part of our family for 14 years, so I’ve experienced caring for cats at every stage of life, including elderly and unwell cats who needed a little extra care and attention. I’m also very happy to look after my friends’ cats when they’re away. I’m often trusted to keep them company, make sure they’re fed and comfortable, and give them plenty of affection while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and getting to know their individual personalities and routines.
About: I have grown up in a very cat friendly household, having grown up with 3 cats. I have very frequently looked after my own cats whilst my parents have been away, ensuring to feed them at the right times to keep to their usual schedule, and of course give them plenty of love and care. I adore cats and I’m very friendly with all the neighbour cats (they can probably smell my secret stash of treats in my bag hahaha!!) your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing is my top priority and I understand that every cat has their own personality, energy level and routine. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual schedule, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.
“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 took time and trouble to get to know our cat and make sure he was comfortable with her. When she visited she stayed to play with him, give TLC and reassure him, as he isn’t used to being alone (his brother died recently). We could see from the pics she shared and his happy presentation when we got home that all was very good. Really appreciate her kindness and cat-centred approach, and hope she will come again!”
“Marian was fantastic looking after my two Maine Coons while I was away. He took excellent care of them and sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well looked after. I came home to two very content cats! I’d happily recommend Marian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book him again. 😊”
“Lucia dropped in to look after our British Shorthair over 6 days and on short notice! She kept us updated throughout, and it was clear they both enjoyed spending time together – our cat warmed to her straight away. Lucia is passionate about what she does, and we’d happily recommend her to others if she’s available. We’ll definitely use her services again. Thanks, Lucia! 😊”
“This was my first time using Rover and the first time leaving Luna so I was quite anxious at first but Michelle quickly put my mind at ease. She was responsive, punctual, and incredibly caring throughout. She clearly bonded with Luna (our little princess!) and took great care of her while we were away. I was so relieved knowing Luna was in such good hands. Thank you, Michelle, would definitely recommend her!”

We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

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.

About: Hi! I’m a 37-year-old dog lover offering a calm, caring home for your dog. I grew up with a lovely Shi-Tzu and two cats, so I’ve been around animals from a young age. I now have my own 4-year-old Sheltie, who is incredibly sweet and gentle. She is naturally shy, so I’ve learned how to handle and support nervous dogs with patience, kindness, and gentle training. Watching her grow in confidence has been very rewarding. I am currently at home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a secure enclosed garden with grass for toilet breaks and fresh air between walks. My partner is also home part of the week, and we enjoy going on dog walks together. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I will care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 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 garden with grass for their natural needs, and am walking distance of parks and meadows such as Whetstone Stray and Brook Farm open space.
About: Thanks for visiting my profile. I’ve always loved being around dogs and having them as part of my day, and over the years I’ve spent a lot of time looking after my own dog as well as many of my friends’ dogs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable caring for different personalities, routines, and needs, whether a dog is energetic and playful or more calm and relaxed. I’m currently at home full-time, which makes me perfectly placed to care for dogs throughout the day. They’re never left alone, and I’m always around to give them attention, stick to their usual routines, and make sure all their needs are met. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. My focus is on creating a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where dogs feel at home from the moment they arrive. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, settled, and well cared for at all times. My aim is always for dogs to be happy and relaxed, and for owners to have complete peace of mind while they’re away. I’m currently at home and have full-time availability to care for dogs. They will never be left alone, and I’ll make sure all their needs are met, from companionship and exercise to comfort and attention, giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment at all times. I have a house with a secure, fenced garden where dogs can play safely. Dogs are welcome on the sofa, bed, or anywhere they feel comfortable, as I want them to feel this is their own space. I’ve had dogs in the house before, so it’s already prepared to make any dog feel at home, happy, and safe.

I have boarded dogs whilst their owners are on holiday and have been walking dogs professionally for over 15 years. I have a small dog of my own who is also a Pet Therapy Dog. I would be thrilled to board or walk small to medium sized dogs who have been neutered or spayed. My flat is on the ground floor with direct access to a huge communal garden which is fully secure. I have boarded dogs as large as Pharoah Hounds and Huskies to West Highland Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkshire Terriers and Whippets. I am also experienced in boarding puppies. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss my experience further. I only board a maximum of two dogs at a time as I like to give my full attention to the dogs in my care. I’m currently working part-time from home so have lots of time for walks with your dog and play time in my secure communal garden. If I do go out, I will only be out for a maximum of 2 hours and your dog would have my small dog as company. I have a ground floor flat with direct access to a fully secure, large, fenced communal garden. I have room in my flat for two small dogs or one medium sized dog and my flat is dog proof and entirely safe for dogs to feel confortable and at my home.

About: I’ve always lived with cats and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had experience living with a Doberman and a cat at the same time, so I’m comfortable around different types, sizes and personalities of pets. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means playing, cuddling, going for walks or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to care for all types of pets and will always treat them with the same care, patience and affection I would give my own. I work part-time and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I’m mainly based in the local area. Even when I’m working, my workplace is only about five minutes from home, which means I can easily pop home and check on a cat during the day. Because of my flexible schedule and local lifestyle, I think I’m a great fit for someone who needs a reliable person to look after their cat while they’re away, whether it’s for a few days or a longer stay. I’d be very happy to provide company, feeding, care and plenty of attention while their owners are away. I live in a quiet flat with access to a communal garden and several parks nearby. I also drive and really enjoy getting out into nature, often driving to beautiful parks such as Trent Park for longer walks. I’d be very happy to take a dog out for a proper walk and give them plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Being close to green spaces and having a car gives me lots of flexibility when it comes to keeping pets active and happy.
“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.”
About: I grew up with two dogs and have loved caring for them from a young age. I also had the privilege of caring for my elderly dog, making sure they received plenty of love, comfort, attention and the care they needed as they got older. This taught me to be patient, attentive and aware that every dog has different needs and routines. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, helping with feeding, walks, playtime and companionship. I currently have my own pup a female cocker spaniel called Luna, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’ll provide a safe, loving and fun environment where your dog can feel comfortable, receive plenty of attention and enjoy their day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific care instructions you provide. I’ll also send you plenty of photos and updates throughout the day, so you can see how much fun your dog is having and have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾📸 It says crate trained only- but the app does not let me change. I'm open about it I am available to pick your pup from your house or you can drop them at your convenienced time. The day will start with a morning walk followed by time to relax and enrichment activities like sniffing treats. I can do short boarding on my free days. Please also let me know your dog's own routine to follow so they can feel at home. I have a large fenced garden and a friendly cocker called Luna that will keep company to your pup to feel like home. I can help with wash if the day gets too messy and please let me know any other information I need to know about your pup to keep them safe and sound.
“Thanks Hana for accommodating last minute booking and taking good care of Snoopy. Your friendly and caring demeanour made Snoopy comfortable from the minute I brought him to your door. You kept me updated on his wellbeing via photos & messages he looked happy & content at the time I collected him at the end of the day. Will definitely rebook in the near future ☺️”
“Megan looked after Rocco for the first time and did a great job. She bonded with him quickly and picked up on his cues and routine straight away. He settled with her easily and came home happy and tired. Very easy communication and a smooth handover. I would happily book her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, from little to large, I’ve helped house train them, teach them tricks and keep them happy. I’ve been using Rover and looking after dogs around Whetstone and Barnet for over a year now. Recently I’ve taken care of a tiny six-month-old Golden Retriever, a poor little senior pup with dementia and everything in between. I own my own business and mostly work from my Whetstone flat. I often take calls through the day and occasionally have to go into central London, but not often. I live on a top floor, dog friendly, flat with access to a small grass patch for emergency toilet breaks. Of course we’re surrounded by parks and nice walks here too.
“I was very nervous to leave Tuffy with her as I never did this before. I’m so glad Tuffy came home happy and Begona took his proper care. She was in touch with her and constantly sending his videos. Hope to see her again.”
“Craig and Kareem obviously love and understand dogs, they also have lovely Bailey to help with doggy day care duties :-) I felt confident safe and happy knowing puppy Athena was with them eating, playing, running around, resting, and being cuddles. All her needs and behaviours were understood and met. We will see you again this week :-)”

I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and energy levels. whether your dog enjoys long walks, cuddles, playtime or relaxation, i’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m currently in the performing industry so looking for part-time work to fill my time inbetween auditions and teaching work. I am available for boarding, house-sitting, drop-in visits, walking and feeding visits. I’m happy to follow any training routines or specific instructions to ensure consistency for your pet/s. Your pets safety, comfort and well-being is my top priority and will treat your home with the utmost respect and care. I’m currently working part-time whilst I pursue my career in the Performing arts. I’m available throughout the days, but will need a bit of notice if it’s for the evenings as I work part-time at a theatre in Soho. As I will mostly be attending your house to care for your pet, I will always treat your home with the utmost respect and care, as well as tailoring the service with whatever needs your pet requires. I’ll ensure to help your pet feel as settled and comfortable as possible and will always carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walking routes, medication and daily routines.
“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”
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.
About: 6 years of dog walking experience, from high energy pups to slow old pals. Recently moved to London and ready to meet some new poochie pets! I am a self-employed actress so I have long gaps in my schedule where I can give all the time in the world to your pooch. I’m dedicated to keeping with your routine to ensure your pet is as happy and stress-free as possible. I’m a trusted dog walker of 6 years and counting.
About: I have been passionate about animals all my life and dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I have boarded dogs whilst their owners are on holiday and have been walking dogs professionally for over 15 years. I have a small dog of my own who is also a Pet Therapy Dog. I would be thrilled to board or walk small to medium sized dogs who have been neutered or spayed. My flat is on the ground floor with direct access to a huge communal garden which is fully secure. I have boarded dogs as large as Pharoah Hounds and Huskies to West Highland Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkshire Terriers and Whippets. I am also experienced in boarding puppies. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss my experience further. I only board a maximum of two dogs at a time as I like to give my full attention to the dogs in my care. I’m currently working part-time from home so have lots of time for walks with your dog and play time in my secure communal garden. If I do go out, I will only be out for a maximum of 2 hours and your dog would have my small dog as company. I have a ground floor flat with direct access to a fully secure, large, fenced communal garden. I have room in my flat for two small dogs or one medium sized dog and my flat is dog proof and entirely safe for dogs to feel confortable and at my home.
“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.”
“I never got to meet Ian as I was away when I booked him to help with walking Georgie. But from what I can see, she adored him and enjoyed her walks a lot. I will definitely use him again in future.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and horses, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. I currently have a cat who means the world to me, and I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well looked after. I am available full time to care for your pet, offering services like walkies, drop-ins, feeding, cleaning bowls during each visit, brushing, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also provide daily photos and updates. Understanding how busy life can get, I am flexible with same day bookings and always ready to provide reliable help at short notice. Additionally, I am more than happy to stay overnight in your home to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I know inviting someone into your home is a big decision, so I will leave your space clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. Your pet will receive a loving environment and the best care! Please let me know if you have any questions.
“Kaya had fun for 3 days with Kate, walking and playing in local parks in which is used to! The website is great, receiving updates and pics of the walks is a must! I needed an emergency dog walker on that week and Kate was friendly and professional, I would definitely recommend her!”
“Sam is very obviously a caring dog lover. I was a late booking but he turned up on time (for both bookings I made) on time and gave my dog great attention and good walks. My dog was pleased to see Sam again for the afternoon walk; he was all waggy-tailed and happy. Sam himself is very personable, happy and good to deal with.”
About: Firstly just to say I'm obsessed with dogs and joined Rover so I can be around them more! I'm lucky to have a Cavapoo (born: Dec 2019) and he is by far the best decision my family ever made! I'm very experienced with dogs as grew up with all types... my family, at various points, had an Old English Sheepdog, an Alsation, a standard Poodle and an Akita. Now I look after some of my friends dogs whenever they need help, whether it be for a few hours or a couple of weeks. Not much in life gives me more pleasure than having two or three dogs lying on me on the couch whilst watching TV or sleeping on the bed with us! Rest assured your dog will have a very loving 2nd home with us in a lovely house and being spoilt by a dog loving family! I run my own business and work from home in Whetstone whilst looking after my own Cavapoo too! I'm generally always around to help any day of the week :) I have a very happy, well-trained Cavapoo at home who has the freedom of the house! Our home is safe and secure and our garden is large and fully enclosed plus we have astro so no muddy footprints!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Family and friends have trusted me to look after, walk and play with their pets. As well as check in and feed their pets. I have trained my own Labrador when she was 1/2 years old. I’m currently mostly working from home so I am available to look after/ check on your dogs during the weekdays! Weekdays from 9-6 work well for me. I have a fenced garden and one very friendly Labrador who’s well trained to keep your dog/ cat company! Happy to also come to your home during the week to do check ins and look after your pets!
“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!”
“Bec was great, stayed in touch, was really friendly and very happy with the walk she took with our miniature dachshund he’s now tired and happy having been out and about in Ally Pally. Perfect!”

“Hi Zsanett looked after my french bulldog for 2 nights 3 days during the heatwave I left her a copy of what his daily routine was during this time which she fully took on board. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times My french bulldog came back happy well looked after and reasonably tired Thank you Zsanett”
“We couldn't have asked for a better person to look after our dog, Tiny, while we were away. Ed was absolutely wonderful—kind, caring, and clearly a true dog lover. He kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Tiny was so well looked after and clearly enjoyed her time with him. We’d happily recommend Ed to anyone—he’s fantastic with dogs and genuinely loves what he does.”
“Tim took care of our Vizsla during the February half-term 2025, and we were incredibly pleased with the care he provided. He kept us updated with regular feedback and sent pictures of our dog, which gave us great peace of mind. Tim took excellent care of our Vizsla, ensuring he went on regular walks around his home and received plenty of attention. Thank you, Tim, for being so reliable and thoughtful with our dog!”
“My two girls have just returned from 12 days with Kate. This was their first time boarding and they have come back safe, happy and as though nothing has happened. Riley is one to hold grudges, so we would know if her holiday wasn't to her liking! We have experienced many dog sitting services and Kate is of the best kind: relaxed, fun but aware of potential dangers. We felt that she knows dogs well and doesn't expect them to behave like people. We would be happy to use her services again and to recommend her to others.”
“Our dog needed to quarantine in England for 6 months before she was allowed to enter the US and we couldn't have asked for better than Caroline. She loved and took care of our baby as if she was her own. No words for how pleased we are! Caroline has become a real friend of ours in all of this. Endless thanks to her!”
About: I’ve had (big) dogs all my life. I’ve also been taking care of a variety dogs through my life, all sizes and all ages. I go to the office 2-3 times a week, otherwise I’m free to take care of furry friends while working from home, in the evenings and weekends. I live 5 minutes from Hampstead Heath, the perfect place for dog walking. At home, I have loads of space for furry friends to come and stay.
About: My name is Katy, your friendly North London dog lover! I’ve owned a dog and dog sitted for over 10 years in both the UK and NZ. I’m passionate about giving your fury pals a safe and engaging environment, and I treat every dog as if it were my own. My home is fully dog safe, I’m extremely diligent and aware of toxins or any unsafe doggy foods. I’m proficient at administering medicine and I’m very happy to follow any of your training needs or commands. I’d love to know a wee bit about your pup, their likes and dislikes, any allergies and their favourite park! I work part time 100% from home. I have minimal meetings, and easy access to a fully fenced garden. I’ll typically take dogs on one good walk, plus a couple of wee walks - depending on the length of stay. My garden is fully fenced and my home is fully dog safe, including baby gates to keep them safe. I have a dog crate I can use if needed.
About: We are a loving family home offering a safe, caring and calm environment for your pets while you’re away. As a family, animals have always been a huge part of our lives. Our 11-year-old son absolutely adores both cats and dogs and has grown up around them with kindness, gentleness and respect. For 13 wonderful years, we were devoted owners to our beloved German Shepherd, who we raised from just 8 weeks old. She was truly part of our family through every stage of life, and saying goodbye to her in April 2025 was heartbreaking. That experience taught us not only the joy pets bring, but also the patience, commitment and unconditional love they deserve throughout their entire lives. Although we are not quite ready to welcome another pet of our own yet, our home feels empty without furry companionship. That’s why we would love to help other families by caring for their pets as if they were our own. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet when going away, and how important it is to know they are safe, loved, exercised, cuddled and genuinely cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or simply wants a quiet sofa cuddle and reassurance, we will make sure they feel secure, happy and part of the family during their stay. Your pet won’t just be “looked after” here — they’ll be loved. Every dog is different, and we believe the best care starts with listening to you. We understand that younger dogs may need lots of exercise, play and stimulation, while older dogs often prefer gentler walks, routine and plenty of comfort and companionship. We will always follow your dog’s usual schedule and needs as closely as possible so they feel happy, settled and secure while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks in the park, energetic playtime, games and attention, or simply relaxing with company and cuddles, we are happy to adapt to what suits them best. For extended stays, and if you are comfortable with it, my office in Angel is dog friendly, meaning your dog could spend even more time with us during the day rather than being left at home. We can either drive into Angel or, if your dog enjoys it, commute together on public transport (our preferred option). Both near our home and around my office there are plenty of green spaces for walks, play, stimulation and quiet time to rest. Our aim is to make your dog feel completely at home, cared for and loved as part of the family. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be our top priority. We live in a spacious four-bedroom semi-detached family home with a fully fenced and secure garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to explore, play and relax. Inside, our downstairs living area is completely open plan, meaning your dog will never feel shut away or isolated and can always be close to family life and companionship. We understand how important routine, reassurance and a calm environment are when dogs are away from home, so we aim to create a relaxed, home-from-home atmosphere where they can quickly feel safe and settled. Equally, if your dog prefers their own quiet space to rest and recharge, there is plenty of room throughout the house for them to do so comfortably. Having cared for our own German Shepherd for 13 years, we fully understand the responsibility and trust involved in looking after someone’s beloved pet. We know dogs are family, and we will care for yours with the same patience, affection and attention we would expect for our own. We are very happy to provide regular updates, including photos and WhatsApp videos, so you can see how your dog is getting on and feel reassured while you are away. We can also arrange video calls if you’d like to check in directly. When we go away on family holidays ourselves, we really value receiving regular updates, so we understand just how important that peace of mind is. We are attentive to each dog’s individual needs, personalities and boundaries, and we will always keep communication open so you feel fully connected to your pet’s stay with us.
“Grace is an absolutely fantastic dog boarder, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She took wonderful care of Henry, keeping us updated throughout his stay with regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that he was happy, relaxed and genuinely cared for. Our family dog, Teddy, has also stayed with Grace and had exactly the same experience. She treats every dog as if they're her own. Grace is warm, caring, reliable and incredibly communicative. Knowing Henry and Teddy were in such capable hands meant we could completely relax while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog and will definitely use her again.”
About: Dear pawrents! I know the feeling when you have to leave your beloved pet with someone else while you are away travelling or working. I have been a dog owner for 14 years and I know how important it was for me to leave him in loving and trusting hands. If this is also important to you, look no further, I think you found a perfect person to look after your furry friend. I love looking after dogs and cats (puppies and kittens too). Always look for an opportunity to look after neighbours pets when they are away. I don’t treat it like a job, more like a passion and true love for animals. I do everything for the furry friends to have the best time while boarding them at home or taking them for a walk and of course stick to all rules that you might have. I work from home full time, so I am pretty flexible, happy to look after pets every day, happy to take the pets for walks from 11 am, also weekends. I have a large, fenced garden- no gaps in the fence, so it’s dogs friendly. I am also a dog’s mum (cockapoo boy, muted) who gets along very well with other dogs. Although I can only board 1 more dog at the time. If you have any questions just ask!
