“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 has been amazing! We're so happy we chose her to take care of Bamba and Jelly! She sent us daily updates, always with pictures and made us feel so relaxed and reassured. They both looked so happy and relaxed. Her messages made us see that she really got to know Bamba and Jelly. She identidied by herslf what each of them like to play with and who likes to do long walks and who likes to stay and bath in the sun :) We highly recommend her and will definetily bring them to Katie again on our next vacation!”
“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!!”
“Adriana is the loveliest, warmest person! She kept Dusty safe & happy. Loads of updates and I could tell he was super relaxed on his stay there! So happy we’ve found her! :) 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.”
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.
“Beccy was absolutely amazing with my cat, Tabitha, who boarded with her while I was away. From the start, Beccy was great at keeping me updated with regular messages, which was comforting knowing Tabitha was happy and cared for. When I picked Tabitha up, she was calm, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful stay. Beccy is diligent with understand the individual needs of each pet and is reliable, attentive, and caring. She clearly genuinely loves animals, and wants both pets and their owners to feel comfortable. When I was unexpectedly delayed getting back to collect Tabitha, Beccy was understanding and accommodating, which took stress away. Tabitha also had wonderful company, attention, and playtime, and it was clear she'd been treated like a family member. I can't recommend Beccy highly enough and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Fantastic service! Our dog loved was clearly super happy to be with him ! I also really appreciated the flexibility on timings when our travel plans were being a bit unpredictable. Will definitely be using again!”
“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 ***”
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.
“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.”
“Thanks Greg and Virginia for looking after Obi! Obi is a shy dog who often takes time to warm up! He settled in well and you did a brilliant job of making him feel at home. Thanks for the pics and videos. Look forward to having him stay with you again!”
“Always a pleasure having Monica look after our boys. They enjoy regular walks and love, and we get plenty of updates in the form of photos/videos during their stay. They love it there and always come back happy and calm.”
“Claudette was super flexible and helpful for the day of sitting I booked for Bear. Lots of changes and shuffling about and she was calm and helpful throughout the whole thing. A lovely person to deal with and Bear came back happy and exhausted, perfect!”

“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! 😊”

“Michelle looked after my cat while we were away over the Christmas break and did a fantastic job. She kept in regular contact and sent updates and photos every day. We came home to a very happy cat!”
“Marisa looked after our cat, Gölge, for two weeks while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She did everything we had agreed on and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure Gölge was happy and well looked after. She developed such a lovely bond with her, and it was clear that Gölge became very comfortable and trusted her. By the end of the two weeks, she was behaving with Marisa just as she does with us, which was so lovely to see. Marisa also kept us updated throughout our holiday with regular photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and made being away much easier. We are so happy we chose Marisa and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. We would happily ask her to look after Gölge 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. 😊”
About: With over 10+ years of experience in pet care, I provide a calm, attentive, and high quality standard of care tailored specifically to each cat’s unique personality and needs. I understand that cats require a more intuitive and gentle approach, and I take pride in creating a peaceful, secure environment where they feel completely comfortable in their own space.

I pay close attention to behaviour and well being, ensuring any changes are noticed and communicated promptly. I also provide consistent, thoughtful updates with photos and videos, so you can feel fully reassured and connected while you’re away! My aim is to deliver a seamless, stress free experience, here your cat feels calm, loved, cared for, and truly at home, and you feel complete peace of mind knowing they are in trusted, experienced hands.
“We’ve booked Roxanne a few times and will definitely keep booking her - she is always super reliable and nice to work with. Our cat is very skittish and spends most of her time hiding from strangers, but she eventually warmed up to Roxanne. Highly recommend!”

“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!”
About: Throughout my life I’ve shared my home with six different cats, from tiny kittens to relaxed adults, so I’m very comfortable with all stages of cat life. I’m used to managing feeding routines, litter‑tray cleaning, grooming, play sessions, and giving medication when needed, and I know how important it is to respect each cat’s personality and boundaries. Whether a cat is shy, playful, or very independent, I take time to learn their habits and keep their day‑to‑day routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and settled while you’re away.
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.
“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 always loved cats and have experience caring for them through looking after my own cat and helping out with friends and families babies also. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions and provide personalised care to make each cat and owner happy. I love spending time with cats and enjoy giving them lots of love, attention, playtime and companionship while getting to know their individual personalities.
“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! :)”
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!

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 and affectionate dog for 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 comfortable and at ease in my home.
“Marjan was wonderful - we had a pre-meet in the park before the first booking, she asked all about our dogs routine and health before caring for Benji, and all throughout the day she kept us updated with pictures and videos which was really reassuring. I was late getting back from work and Marjan was so accommodating keeping him a little later than planned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marjan and will definitely be booking her again :)”
“My pup Mango loved her daycare with Keren! Keren is so lovely and caring and I was very happy to leave Mango with her for the day. She didn’t want to leave and tried to jump out of her carrier back to Keren’s house! ❤️”
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.
“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 :-)”
About: Hi! I’m Angela — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up with my family dog, Bella, who’s now a sweet 14-year-old, and she taught me the meaning of patience, responsibility, and unconditional love. Now I have my own dog, Freddie, a playful 6-year-old who keeps me active and constantly smiling. Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me — from long walks and playtime to quiet cuddles and keeping up with routines. I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pet like family, and that’s exactly how I approach every dog I look after. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, your pup will be in safe, loving hands (and probably get a few extra belly rubs along the way!). I work in the office Monday to Thursday, but I’m available for morning and evening walks on those days. From Thursday evening through to Sunday evening, I have much more flexibility and can help with walks, sitting, or weekend stays. I’m also available on public and bank holidays, as well as over my two-week Christmas break, so I can help during those busier periods when you’re away or need an extra hand. I live in a spacious one bed flat with a large, secure garden, perfect for dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy some fresh air. I always make sure the space is safe and comfortable for every pet that visits. Whether your dog loves to roam or prefers a calmer routine, I can easily adjust — I’m happy to keep them on the lead at all times if that’s what you prefer. I keep a close eye on every pup, making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of attention, walks, and cuddles throughout their stay.
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: 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.

About: I am an animal lover and feel happiest in the presence of animals. Because of this, I am the go-to petsitter of my friends. I have flown to Italy on 2 occasions to look after my friends rabbit. I have experience with reptiles as I had a corn snake for 11 years. I am a dog person but have never had my own dog, so I'm always happy when my friends ask me to pet sit their dogs. I am a full time pet sitter so I have lots of availability to accommodate for you and your pet. Feel free to enquire, I will always try and be flexible to make a booking work out. I'm not on boarding pets in my own home, but I always make the dog feel comfortable in their own home with me in it.

“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!”
“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.”
About: I’m 21 and have been living with cats, kittens, and a dog (Jug) since I was six, so animals have basically always been part of my everyday life. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple cats and kittens, feeding, grooming, litter-tray cleaning, play sessions and giving medication when needed. I now look after my own four cats and a young German Shepherd puppy. That mix has taught me how to read different personalities, keep routines consistent, and stay calm and attentive in situations like introductions, teething, or if a pet gets a bit anxious. I treat every animal as if they were my own, respectful of their habits, proactive about safety, and happy to send updates so owners feel completely at ease. I’m currently studying at university, so my schedule is flexible around my academic commitments. I’m generally available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking on weekdays and weekends, with my exact availability varying depending on my timetable. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine in advance and will make sure they receive reliable, attentive care at the agreed times. I prioritise making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and settled in their own environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication, walks, access arrangements, and any behaviour or safety concerns. I take time to build trust with pets at their own pace, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away.
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
“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: My autism means I am very perceptive and can spot any issues, plus my love of dogs means I care a huge amount about their happiness. It wouldn't feel like a job, it would feel like a dream day. By staying in my house the majority of my day, I will make sure they are very happy and don't feel alone or worried. There is always someone at home, as my Dad is retired and my mum works from home. They will never be left alone. I have two friendly dogs that love to have playmates. Plus,my family members also adore animals. My garden is shaded and fenced securely and we also have a little balcony area. My dogs sometimes like to hang out on our trampoline. My house is chemical-free. I clean with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. I only use eco-friendly detergent and washing-up liquid.
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 🐾🐾😊
“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.”
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: Hi! I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who truly loves animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs and pets, whether it’s taking them for walks, playing with them, or giving them loving care at home. While I’m still building my professional experience in pet care, I’m very passionate about learning and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m calm, trustworthy, and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I always try to adapt to their routine and give them personalized care and attention. I can help with walks, companionship, feeding, and basic daily care while their owners are away. I also have flexible availability and I’m happy to travel when needed. 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.
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.
“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!”
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.

“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.”
“Absolutely amazing sitter 🙌 couldn’t recommend more! Johanne followed all care instructions for Rejjie perfectly and provided regular updates. She went above and beyond when Rejjie developed a limp whilst in her care, and reached out to a local greyhound centre for advice for me. Johanne also recommended local vets which I’ve been struggling to find since moving areas and also gave me a lift home with Rejjie when I returned from holiday. Johanne is just a really kind human being with such a lovely nature and is also a very caring and attentive pet sitter. She’ll be my go-to next time I need a minder and I couldn’t praise her more :)”

“Beccy was absolutely amazing with my cat, Tabitha, who boarded with her while I was away. From the start, Beccy was great at keeping me updated with regular messages, which was comforting knowing Tabitha was happy and cared for. When I picked Tabitha up, she was calm, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful stay. Beccy is diligent with understand the individual needs of each pet and is reliable, attentive, and caring. She clearly genuinely loves animals, and wants both pets and their owners to feel comfortable. When I was unexpectedly delayed getting back to collect Tabitha, Beccy was understanding and accommodating, which took stress away. Tabitha also had wonderful company, attention, and playtime, and it was clear she'd been treated like a family member. I can't recommend Beccy highly enough and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Fantastic service! Our dog loved was clearly super happy to be with him ! I also really appreciated the flexibility on timings when our travel plans were being a bit unpredictable. Will definitely be using again!”
“Evelyn was so good with Buddy, and her family so welcoming. She was patient, kind and considerate - making sure she knew all the little details to make Buddy’s stay as positive as possible. Communication was great, and honest, throughout. We were able to relax on a 10-day holiday knowing that Buddy was in great hands. Thank you.”
“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.”
“Ed was brilliant - Toby came back super relaxed and had clearly had a great time with no issues! We got pictures of him sleeping all snuggled up with Ed, and a happy chap on his walks. We'll definitely be in touch again when we need a dog sitter. Thanks Ed!”
“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.”
“Mert looked after Rodney for a few days whilst we were away. Everything was great. We received regular updates and communication was perfect. Rodney was well looked after and we cannot recommend them enough!”
“Craig and Kareem were fabulous with Boycie. They are knowledgeable, calm and patient with my puppy and shared lots of helpful tips and advice. They have a very good role model in Bailey who is fab super calm and lovely boy (Boycie is in love). He had a brilliant time, had lots of lovely social interactions and walks and Craig took the BEST photos! Will definitely ask Craig and Kareem to have Boycie next time I’m away and recommend them without hesitation!”

About: ***Although I work remotely/from home, I only accept sittings for pets that can be comfortably left alone for at least 4 hours (e.g. no anxious dogs that need someone present 24/7). I’m from California, where I lovingly ran my pet sitting business for 5 years (see reviews). I’ve had Goldens and Labs since I was born, but I’ve watched German Shepherds, Pitbulls, Chihuahas, Staffys, Doodles, and more. I feel comfortable around dogs of all sizes and breeds. I love loving on animals and would be thrilled to meet your pup! Going on annual leave? I am your person for your holiday getaway! I work remotely, full time for a local university, which means as long as you have WiF, I’m a perfect match for your pet whether they come to my place of I come to yours. While walking dogs I am very alert and aware of our surroundings. I want to keep your dog safe from other dogs, cars, and other animals. I keep dogs on leash unless you specify a time and place where it is appropriate to take them off leash. If I am dropping by to help feed or let your dog out, I am trustworthy and reliable. I will make sure your dog gets exactly what you require, and I will leave the house as you specify (for example making sure doors are locked, keys are stored correctly, etc.). During house sits, I also wash all linens, take out trash, vacuum, sweep, and clean up so that you feel like your home is just as you left it when you return.

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”
About: My latest achievement was to train my rescue dog from an almost ferral state that he was in to a loving pet and pretty well behaved dog however still lots to learn on his part. I had walked my neighbours dogs since I can remember and finally at the age of 12 my dream come true. I have owned 5 dogs so far in my life. I love to provide what they need whether it's cuddles and slow walks or running chasing balls. Stimulation, exercise fun or simply just rest. I had aquire a lot of knowledge through my own experiences but also through reading related literature on dogs behaviour and psychology. I'm a special needs teacher. I'm free in half terms and weekends. Im a keen runner and love cycling as well as providing enrichment games. I believe that each dog is an individual. I like to get to know them in order to provide a caring, stimulating and safe environment for them.
