“Coco had a great holiday with Greg and Virginia! We had regular messages and photos and loved seeing Coco out on walks, playing with other dogs and being cuddled. We were able to meet up before the stay and were warmly welcomed into a lovely clean flat with great outside space, perfectly set up to look after a variety of dogs. They even have their own crate if you want to use it. Thank you both xx”

“Begona is the most incredible dog sitter. My dog was very well looked after, clearly very happy and I received lots of regular photos and updates. She will be the first person I ask if I need a dog sitter again in the future.”
“Honestly incredible sitter. We boarded our dog Izzy for 5 days and she almost didn’t want to leave! Marina is Kind and caring with the dogs and so understanding with the anxiety of leaving our dog for the first time. If your going to choose a sitter, chose her!!”
“Laura and Alex are extremely good dog sitters and my 1 year old Sake had a really great time staying with them. He was taken care and was cleaned nicely after everyday play outdoor under wet weather. This was Sake's first time staying overnight without us, Laura sent me videos every day. I will definitely leave Sake with them next time when we are away. ***Highly recommended, 5* dog sitter ***”
“Courtney took such good care of our dog, she honestly loved her like she was her own. We received regular updates and photos (and even videos) of our dog during her stay. Courtney's home is a home from home with a lovely garden and easy access. When I collected my dog she was so happy and relaxed, she was definitely made to feel at home there. We will not hesitate to use Courtney again in the future.”
“Maggie stayed with Mirco for 2 weeks when we went on holiday and had an amazing time! The flat is very close to Victoria Park so there were loads of walks every day. Mirco was in regular contact while we were away, sending great pictures which reassured us that Maggie was happy. He even held a birthday celebration for her which was a lovely touch. All in all, a fantastic experience, Mirco was very caring and thoughtful and Maggie can't wait to visit again.”

“A* Care. Kate was wonderful with my dog, and he’s sometimes a bit of a fuss pot. She sent me regular updates on how is was doing which kept me constantly reassured. Honestly can’t rate Kate enough. Thank you so much”
About: Since I can remember, I’ve always loved pets and enjoyed taking care of dogs. I’ve spent years caring for friends’ dogs, walking them, feeding them, and giving them love and attention. Although I never had my own dog until I was lucky enough to adopt Cookie, my adorable Frenchie, 3.5 years ago, caring for her has deepened my understanding of how special pets truly are. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family members who deserve love, patience, and care. I feel grateful for every moment I get to spend with dogs, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours and give them the same love and attention I give to Cookie. I currently work full-time, primarily morning shifts, but I still have plenty of time and energy to care for and play with your furry friends. My schedule allows me to provide attentive care before and after work, and twice a week I am available all day. These full-day availability dates vary from week to week, so I’m happy to discuss my schedule and find times that work best for you and your pet. I have a secure and comfortable home environment for pets to enjoy. While my garden is not fenced, I live just a one-minute walk from a large park where dogs can enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I also have a friendly French Bulldog who loves the company of other dogs and will be a great companion for your furry friend during their stay.
“Eveything went smoothly with Caroline, we met up in advanace and there were no issues at all during our dog Casper's two day stay in her home. Caroline responded to communication very promptly as well. We would definitely use Caroline again.”

I only have a part time job so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs. I am free seven days a week to look after your dog. I’m fully insured ‼️ I love spending time and playing with dogs. There is a massive park not too far from my house where we can have lovely long walks to spend time.

I treat every pet like part of the family and do my best to create a loving and stress-free environment for them. ✨ I would love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I like going on walks, staying active, and creating a calm and caring environment at home, so taking care of pets feels very rewarding to me. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time throughout the week for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention and companionship. I also understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and following their usual routines to help them feel safe and happy while they are in my care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in my care. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment where pets can relax, play, and follow their usual routines as much as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, fresh water, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. In a pet owner’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully to help the pet feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I can help with walks, feeding, companionship, basic care, and keeping the space tidy while making sure the pet feels happy and secure. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I always try to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their individual needs.
“I can’t recommend Evelyn enough! She took care of my dog, Johnny, while I was on vacation, and gave him the most loving and warm attention I could have hoped for. He truly became part of her family, enjoyed two walks every day, and was showered with care and affection. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Johnny came back home clean, healthy, and happy—which says everything. I will absolutely use Evelyn services again and highly recommend her to everyone!”

I work part-time as cabin crew, which occasionally takes me to destinations where I support animal welfare by helping care for stray animals, delivering donations, and working alongside the charity PIPAW (People for the Inclusion and Protection of Animals Worldwide). As I only fly a few days each month, I have a high level of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking, and I always keep my calendar fully up to date. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to providing consistent care for your pets. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own — with patience, love and total dedication.

“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 had a fantastic experience with Katie. She took wonderful care of our cat and is clearly passionately dedicated to the wellbeing of the pets she looks after. She also took absolutely extraordinary pictures of our cat (professional level!) and graciously shared them with us. Her communication was always prompt and thoughtful. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“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!”

“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!”

“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.”
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.
“Ashleigh looked after our cat Beau for a week while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier. We felt completely reassured knowing he was getting so much love, attention and care. She sent twice-daily updates with photos and videos, was always punctual and thorough, and clearly took the time to make Beau feel comfortable and happy. We trust her completely, would absolutely recommend her to others, and will definitely book with her again next time we’re away. Beau seems very content in her company!”
“So happy to have found Maria. Her energy is calm which is perfect for my nervous cats. For once, they didn’t run away as they usually do with my previous cat sitter. Maria is brilliant - do book her if you get the chance!”
“Erin was absolutely wonderful looking after our cat Margot. She was so kind and gentle with her, and we could tell Margot was really well cared for. Erin kept us updated with messages and photos, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Fantastic communication and such a lovely person. We’d highly, highly recommend Erin to anyone, thank you so much again!”
“Cheryl was wonderful with our cats — she sent video and photo updates throughout, and honestly, we were a little jealous at how much our cats clearly preferred her company to ours. We came home to an immaculate house. We can absolutely recommend Cheryl as a cat sitter.”
About: I had cats growing up and have had my own rescue kitty for the past 9 years. I am therefore very experienced and comfortable around cats, and how to build up trust with nervous kitties as well. I love cats and make friends with them wherever I go. In fact on two recent holidays I actually rescued, sought vet care/arranged foster care for stray kittens. I would love to meet your kitties, feed them, play with them, give them cuddles and attention and treat them like the royalty that we all know they are!
“May was such a fantastic cat sitter to our cat Joey. She was so kind and loving towards him and attentive to his needs. We got lots of lovely updates on how he was doing and he really bonded with her, which he doesn't do easily with people he doesn't know. We will definitely be using May again in the future. Thank you. ”

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.

“Our 4 month old cockapoo had a lovely time at Laura's place. He was taken care well and came back home happy!. It was also interesting for him to meet other dogs as it helped him socialize!. Laura promptly updates the day with pictures and is very good with her communication. We've left Max twice and both the times has been good!”
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.
“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.”
“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 😃”

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. 😄🐾
“Ana is a patient Dogsitter - both with my puppy who was anxious in her home for the first time, and with me when my trains were cancelled. Her space and garden are puppy friendly. Ana gave a detailed description of her experience with Magda at the end of the evening.”
“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: 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.
“Coby had a wonderful time, wiyh cuddles and a good long runaround. The sure sign was that he slept for a good few hours on his return. Thanks Mhany he's looking forward to seeing you again soon.”

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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I currently have four dogs of my own who are hundreds of miles away from me (yes, it’s my worst nightmare 😭), but thankfully they’re living their best lives being spoiled by my parents. Being around dogs for as long as I can remember has made me comfortable with all kinds of personalities from energetic characters who love to play and explore to those who are happiest curled up beside you for cuddles and company. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise, plenty of attention, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Every pet deserves to feel happy, secure, and loved, and that’s exactly what I’ll aim to provide. I’m currently working full time but I’ll have time during the weekend or in the evenings after work. I am flexible with timings so we can work something out! :) I live in a cosy two-bedroom flat that is clean, safe, and pet-friendly. While I don’t have a garden, there is a park literally right behind my home, which is perfect for regular walks, exercise, and playtime.

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: I often dog sit for my mum and have been walking friends and family’s dogs since i was about 10. I also trained my mums dogs to sit, paw and roll over. I’ve just finished university and love dogs as well as staying active so dog walking/sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle. I also love meeting new dog breeds and getting to know all of their personality’s. I have two dogs at home and have had dogs since I can remember, i’m confident with all breeds as i’ve been around big and small (used to have a staffy and now have a german spitz).
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.

“Roxanne was great taking my dog Maple for walks last week.

“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.”
About: I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. I know all about the different breeds, temperaments and types of dog out there!! I have experience caring for puppies over 6 months all the way up to seniors. I’ve taken care of small to medium sized dogs in the past but would be willing to take care of a larger dog if necessary. I have experience handling dog reactive dogs as I previously cared for a rescue dog (Jetta) who struggled with reactivity for a year until she found her forever home. I am very passionate about animal welfare and genuinely find great joy in playing with dogs, so you can be sure your pup will get lots of love and attention! I am a uni student whose classes have ended until September, so I am mostly free until then! I also work as an activity assistant at a children’s summer camp with kids from ages 3-6. Early mornings and late nights are both on the table for me. Once classes start up again, my availability will decrease slightly, but not by much. I am very attentive to the needs of your pet and will always put them first no matter what. Safety is my top priority and I will ensure that your pups will have a fun, but safe, time. I am able to do both short, drop in visits to feed and check on pets as well as longer, pet sitting type visits. I will never delay these checks as your animals health and happiness is the most important! I am also able to do some general cleaning/hoovering of your house for no extra fee if wanted.
About: Having grown up with lurchers and whippets since the age of 5, I am excited to find some waggie-tailed friends in London. I love the outdoors so can provide plenty of exercise and lots of cuddles. I have recent experience looking after all kinds of dogs and adored every one of them. The days I need to be in the office are flexible so I can adapt to when you need dog care - when working from home I can take regular breaks for walkies whenever needed. I live in a flat on the first floor - the building has a good sized area of grass which is fenced off from the main road. I am a 10 minute walk from Arnos Park which has large mown grass areas as well as a small area of wood. I am also a short, quiet tube journey to Trent Park which provides wide open spaces.
About: Responsible, reliable and friendly animal carer committed to provide the best possible care and attention to your loving pet. I am a hard worker who has always loved animals and I feel good when I am able to help them. I had few fur-friends (dogs, cats, guinea pigs and birds) in my home country, and I used to take care of my family's, neighbours and friends dogs and cats when they went abroad, since I was 12. I treat all pets as if they were mine - a happy pet is a happy day for me! What I can do: Provide food & water, comfortable administering oral medicine as specified, long walks, bathe/basic grooming if needed, play and give a lot of cuddles & love! I’m working full time on different shift patterns, but happy to spend some time during my days off or before/after working hours with your fur friend. I strictly follow all house rules/guidelines given to me to keep your dog in a safe place and always attended, because that's why I'm here for!
About: I love animals - I grew up in quite a menagerie, with 3 big dogs (Ridgebacks), a cat, fish, rat, tortoise, and birds! I spent a lot of time around Alsatians growing up (they are one of my fav breeds) and love spending time with and making friends with dogs. I would love to have a dog of my own but unfortunately can't at the moment. I have had a cat for 9 years and am experienced in animal care - I've looked after friends guinea pigs for the past few years when they are away (including administering medication) and also have looked after their dog (who has anxiety and behaviour issues). I am very active and love being outdoors, so if a regular walk/play session isn't enough, I can also take your dog on a 5km run, or even offer a longer exercise session (where I cycle)! I am flexible and attentive, and will adapt sessions to make sure your dog is happy and getting what they need, and that you feel reassured that your dog is in good hands. I am working as a freelancer so can be quite flexible around timings. I'm also available for house-sitting as well to look after your pets when you're away. In your home I will care for your pets the way you ask me to, and will maintain any training/ feeding/ exercise routines you have established.

“Our first experience with a dog sitter for our 10 month old Cane Corso and we are so grateful to have found Julian. Such a lovely and well experienced knowledgeable guy with K9's. Kept me updated daily and communication was so easy and relaxed. Thank you so much Julian. We are eternally grateful to you and Atlas is happy to have made a new trusted friend in you 😊🐾”

“I can’t recommend Evelyn enough! She took care of my dog, Johnny, while I was on vacation, and gave him the most loving and warm attention I could have hoped for. He truly became part of her family, enjoyed two walks every day, and was showered with care and affection. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Johnny came back home clean, healthy, and happy—which says everything. I will absolutely use Evelyn services again and highly recommend her to everyone!”

“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.”
“I highly recommend Ed as a dog sitter. He looked after my cockapoo overnight and was great at communicating and giving me updates throughout. My dog was returned to me very happy and very tired! Thank you 😁”
“Merve is a dog lover and a dog whisperer! Our dog (Bella, a German Shepherd) is quite anxious being separated from us but she took to Merve very quickly and had an absolute ball staying with her and her family. They really love, care and bonded with Bella, spoiling her with affection, play, walks and letting her be one of the family. She was allowed on the sofa and bed, given toys to play with and Merve sent literally hundreds of photos while we were away. We could tell by the pictures how much Bella was enjoying her stay with Merve, she looked so happy and relaxed. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bella, it was a relief to have her boarded with someone who took such good care of her, and meant we could relax and enjoy our time away. We weren’t sure if Bella would ever want to come home after our holiday! We highly recommend Merve!! She’s brilliant. Jack and Geetha”
About: Between us, we have spent our whole lives around dogs. Ben grew up with two much-loved Cocker Spaniels, Dusty and Sweep, while Arabella grew up with her Yorkshire Terrier, Max. We have both been involved in the daily care of our family pets, from feeding and walking to playtime, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. Caring for dogs is something that comes naturally to us, and we understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after. While we are not professional dog trainers, we are patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable and relaxed in our care. We know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and we’ll always take the time to get to know them. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply having company and cuddles, we’ll treat them as if they were our own. Our jobs allow us to work from home and have a flexible schedule, which is ideal for walks, feeding, and giving your dog attention throughout the day. At weekends we both enjoy getting out and about in local green spaces. With your permission, we’re happy to take your dog on longer walks and outings. However, your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, and we will only ever do what you are happy with, including avoiding busy areas or public transport if preferred. We’re flexible and attentive, and will always adapt to your dog’s needs and routine. We are fortunate to live in a fantastic location between Highgate Wood and Queen’s Wood, giving us easy access to two beautiful green spaces right on our doorstep. This means your dog will have plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, fresh air, and stimulation throughout their stay. While we don’t have a private garden, we make up for it with regular outdoor time and access to some of North London’s best woodland walking routes. We take a 1-hour lunch, which we will use for walking our four-legged friend. Our work schedule is flexible, so if the dog is feeling energetic, we can pop out for a quick walk anytime. Happy for pets to be on sofas, chairs, beds, etc. (as long as they haven’t just had a swim or discovered mud), so they will always get plenty of attention.
About: Hey! I’m a huge dog lover, but unfortunately I’ve never had a dog of my own. To fill that space, I’ve been a part-time dog walker for over 4 years, so I know some great dog walking routes! I also regularly look after friends’ and family’s dogs, including longer stays of several weeks at a time. I have looked after dogs of all ages and sizes - the biggest being a 45 kilo New Zealand Shepard! I live in a ground-floor flat in Muswell Hill with a spacious enclosed garden that dogs seem to love, complete with plenty of toys :) I also have a genuine interest in dog behaviour and really enjoy training, if that’s something you’re looking for. If not, more than happy to spend our time playing and relaxing! I have a very flexible schedule and enjoy building my day around long walks or just keeping them company. I’m able to give lots of attention, and can stick to any schedule you need. Your dog can make itself at home at mine and have access to a secure enclosed garden plus plenty of space to relax. I always make sure the environment is clean, safe, and pet-friendly and I can provide regular updates and photos for reassurance. I have plenty of experience house sitting and always make sure to be respectful and reliable at all times.
