“Gabriella was honestly so lovely with my dog. From the start, she made sure he was comfortable and settled, and I could tell he felt really safe with her. She sent me updates while I was away, which I really appreciated (especially as an anxious dog mum). When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and even smelled really nice! Which says a lot about how well she looked after him. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the effort. I’d 100% book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind to look after their dog!!”
“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”
“I could not have found a better family to look after Kenji! He’s always enjoying it so much and is so well looked after. Owen and his family are the best and I feel at peace leaving my dog with them. I know he is always having a good time! I could not recommend them enough.”
About: Dogs have been the heart of my home for nearly two decades. After 14 wonderful years with my beloved Staffy, Tyson, I welcomed Titan into my life three years ago. Titan is a friendly, neutered Staffy-mix who truly lives up to the "nanny dog" reputation. I know how hard it is to be away from your fur-baby. I provide regular updates and photos throughout the day so you can see exactly how much fun they are having. We can't wait to welcome your pup into our home! Safety & Supervision First As a stay-at-home mum, I am home throughout the day. My husband Gurpal works from home two days a week, this means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I have two children 3 and 5 years old who have grown up with dogs their whole life. Our Daily Routine Your dog won't just be "watched"—they will be part of the family. Our days are filled with: Active Play: Frequent garden games and mental stimulation. Daily Walks: Regular outings to stretch our legs and explore. Secure Environment: I have a large family home and a garden that is significantly larger than average—fully fenced and perfect for zoomies! Home Comforts: Whether it’s lounging in our spacious living area or sunbathing in the garden, I treat our guests exactly like our own.
“An amazing lady who genuinely adores dogs and treats them like they were her own. Our Buck had an amazing four days. This was our first time using Rover and finding Leonore was a breath of fresh air- we had no worries and she made us feel at ease with the photos and videos . Will definitely be using Leonore again. 100% recommend”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Nicola and her family looked after our dog Bandit over Christmas for us. They kept in touch with photos. Bandit settled in very well and I think he will be more than happy to go back again. Very nice people and we felt very comfortable leaving Bandit with them. Will definitely use them again x”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10 years old and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I previously had a Chihuahua who sadly passed away two years ago, and I now have a 4-year-old Maltipoo who is loving, playful and very sociable with other dogs. I fully trained her from a puppy myself, which gave me hands-on experience with potty training, basic commands, and building good routines. I’ve also dog sat multiple times in the past, including overnight stays, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and attentive to your dog’s needs throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and overnight stays. Because I’m home daily, I can provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I can easily adjust my routine to suit your dogs schedule Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a really big secure garden where dogs can safely run around and play, as well as a park just a two-minute walk from my home for regular walks and exercise. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is friendly and well-socialised, making her a great companion for visiting dogs. I always introduce dogs slowly and supervise playtime closely. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and can crate if needed. Because I work from home, your dog will always be well supervised and cared for in a loving, calm environment. My goal is for your dog to feel completely at home here - safe, happy and loved.
About: We have both had small and medium sized dogs growing up, including both senior and puppies needing training. We absolutely love looking after our friends dogs. Since we work full-time, we don't have a dog of our own yet—which means when we’re with your pet, they get 100% of our undivided attention, energy, and affection. We both work full-time, so will always make sure our available time is when we are home, giving your pet 100% of our attention when required. We have a fenced 90ft garden so lots of space to run and play fetch. We don't have any pets in our home so if your animal is a little nervous with other animals that's nothing to worry about.
“Ollie my 8 month old Cockerpoo had a great time with Sayo. My daughter actually dropped him off and collected him. When we arrived home I must admit that Ollie seemed a big calmer (which was needed as he is a typical puppy). Anyway I would Definately book Sayo again.”
“We booked a short 4-day stay and are very happy with the care our dog received. We were sent daily photos or videos, along with regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind. It was especially lovely to see pictures of the cuddles and walks. Our small dog requires a lot of attention, particularly when it comes to feeding, and it was clear that her individual needs were understood and cared for well. Thank you for looking after our little baby with such kindness, attention, and care. We would not hesitate to book again.”
“This was the second time Molly stayed with Paulina. Paulina was so lovely and really looked after Molly so well. She kept in contact throughout and sent pictures and videos. I could see that Molly was taken care of really well, had loads of love and cuddles, ear rubs and fun. Molly was right at home with her. Thank you Paulina and I am sure Molly is looking forward to another holiday at yours again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Hetty with Diana. She also has a lovely dog so was great company for Hetty. Diana and her husband made sure that Hetty felt safe and comfortable the whole time and I had daily updates, photos and videos. Would definitely leave Hetty with Diana again.”
“Alix was amazing with Coco. She took the time and effort before the day to find out more about Coco. On the day she regularly sent us photos and videos of Coco to put our minds at rest. When we collected Coco she was happy and exhausted ready for bed. Would definitely leave Coco with Alix again.”
“Amazing boarding with Kim, Bailey had a great time and Kim took such amazing care of her. Plenty of updates whilst we were away and Bailey can’t wait for her next visit with her favourite people! Thanks again Kim! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.

Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule.

“Thank you so much, Sara, for looking after our cat. The kids really appreciated the lovely photos and videos and Jupiter looked truly contented. We would be very happy to contact you again when we need a sitter. Thanks a million!”
“Tori was great and made a fuss of our cat James during her visits, while we were away on holiday. Great communication, both prior to the cat sitting, and during. Would highly recommend for all cat sitting needs.”
“Jess was excellent from start to finish! Asia took to her immediately. She had just had kittens, so it wasn't an easy task, but Jess was proactive, made sure the kittens were well looked after, and sent constant updates.”
“I always feel comfortable knowing that Prasanthi is taking care of my animals and her husband helped this time too. Excellent communication and nice reassuring photo updates! Very recommended ”

“Kim and her partner are absolutely phenomenal! My puppy had a brilliant time! She slept like a little angel when she got home because of her action-packed day. I couldn’t be any happier!

Absolutely wonderful sitter, would recommend 1000000000%!!😊”

I have a fenced in garden and a park within ten minutes walk which is about 115 acres and a green within the same distance.

About: I’m a reliable and active animal lover with several years’ experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes. Friends and family regularly trust me to walk, feed and look after their pets. I’m confident with energetic dogs, love long walks, and always prioritise safety and routine. I’m organised, punctual and happy to provide photo updates after every walk for peace of mind. I’m currently very flexible and available throughout the week, including weekday mornings and afternoons. As I’m not working full-time at the moment, I can offer consistent walks and drop-ins and adapt to your dog’s routine. I’m reliable, punctual and happy to arrange regular weekly bookings! I have a large, fully fenced garden providing a safe and secure space for dogs to play and explore. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I always follow routines closely and prioritise safety. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am happy to send updates so you feel completely reassured.
About: Joint care of a nervous Greek rescue with my Mum over the last few years. Very cautious and give him the right level of space when we go out on a walk, making sure that he is comfortable as we build his confidence. I drive, and mostly work from home, so I'm available for drop ins, overnighters, boarding etc. Thanks for considering me!
About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and a natural ability to care for them. From the age of 14 to 16, I regularly walked dogs around my neighbourhood, building experience with different breeds and temperaments. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I am confident handling larger, strong dogs as well as smaller pets. I currently have a cat, who I have successfully trained to sit for treats, showing my patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I have also volunteered at animal rescues, further developing my hands-on experience and compassionate approach. I provide a loving, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. My cat is both dog- and cat-friendly and has previously lived with a Rottweiler who is his best friend and still sees regularly, so I am happy to host pets that are comfortable around cats. I am also more than happy to care for dogs of any temperament in their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure in a familiar environment. I have a flexible and reliable schedule, as I currently work part-time while my partner is at home full-time. This means there will always be someone present to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Together, we have lots of time to play, provide companionship, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, your pet will never be left feeling lonely and will receive consistent, attentive care. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a large, fully fenced garden where they can play and explore securely. I live on a quiet, non-busy road, making walks calm and stress-free. I can also provide a crate if needed, whether for training, rest, or to maintain your pet’s usual routine. My home is a relaxed, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel safe, settled, and well cared for.

“Thank you Sayo for looking after Rockie so well and he and Cassie got along great. My husband was and still is in hospital so it was a stressful time for me (hence my reason for only remembering this now) but you alleviated all of my concerns on meeting you and I trusted my little man would be ok and he was. If I ever need last minute Day Care for him again, I will definitely remember you. Thank you again.”
“Nicola was great with our 18 month old spaniel Freya! She was very attentive and took into consideration her hyper and playful nature and we felt fully assured she would be well cared for.

About: My sister Kerry and I have many years experience of living with dogs. We have owned a West Highland White Terrier and our most recent, a border collie. We sadly lost our border collie to a brain tumour last year and since then wanted to give other fur besties all the love & fun they deserve! 💕 We’ve spent the last year looking after friend’s & family’s dogs and with the growing interest decided to expand to others. Our home is your dog’s home and will be treated as we would our own. They have total freedom in our house with full access to a lovely, big garden. There will be no cages & no crates used unless you say otherwise. We take the time to gain your dog’s trust as we want nothing more than for your dog to feel as safe & happy with us as they do with you. You can expect plenty of play time, daily walks and a lot of love, as we treat them just like we would our own. We aren’t the only ones that deserve a holiday, your dog does too! Interested in knowing what your dog is getting up too whilst you’re away? No problem! You will receive daily updates and photos to keep your mind at ease 🐶 There will always be someone at home with your dog. Even though I, Nicola, go out to work at times, Kerry and I work together and is around during the day so will always be available in case your dog needs the toilet, to take them on their daily walks, and of course to play! 🎾. We live a 5 minute walk from the park so your dog will never miss a walk, after all, that is their favourite time of day! We try to make our home feel like your dog’s home. Your rules are what we follow. If you keep them in a crate over night please bring it with you. If they’re not allowed upstairs we’ll make sure they stay downstairs. If you allow them full access in your home they will definitely have that here too! We also have a big, fenced garden they have full access too as well. Meet & greet always welcome and advised which gives you a chance to meet us, we can meet you and you can see where your dog will be staying.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have had wonderful memories of our childhood dog Bobby. I understand some pet owner’s anxiety about leaving their dogs at kennels, whether or not they are getting proper one on one attention. I’d love to offer my time for walks or boarding at our home for planned holidays. I am a stay at home mum and now my two children are in school full time, I am free to help you walk or board furry family member at our home for special occasion out / planned holidays. We have a full fenced garden and a large grass area just outside the house. This gives super easy access for doggie toilet trips when needed!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I can remember, ever since I was a kid, I encountered lots of different pets such as frogs, newts, hamsters, tortoise ect. However we had two staffs, I cared for them with my dad, from birth till I was 12. Having two staffs alongside many other animals has helped me gain knowledge on how to care and raise animals. Aside from my own pets, being an animal lover I naturally took on the role of walking my family’s dogs. I also worked in a farm for a few years doing voluntary work, this further expanded my experience beyond dogs and pets you’d have at home. I cleaned them out, fed them, and made sure everything is how it’s supposed to be to ensure they’re comfortable. At the moment I am unemployed and out of education, because of this I will have plenty of time to cater to walking your dogs! I would make sure the dogs needs are met, I would take time to get to know each dogs needs specifically. I would ensure the dog is always in my sight and never left unattended.
“We have been using Leanne and Kane now for a few months and I couldn't recommend them enough. Our dogs love them and they are always very professional, punctual and have followed our instructions perfectly as our dogs can be reactive around other dogs during walks. With my chihuahua who is quite nervous, they've taken the time to allow him to settle with them, and been very patient and gentle with him and now he loves them. Absolute 5 star dog walkers”

“Kimberly was fantastic when walking Max. She communicated really well and was very reliable. Although Max was booked in for 30 min walks Kimberly made an effort to make sure these were varied and interesting. She went above and beyond in taking him to the beach and dog fields. He was a very happy and tired dog ! Will definitely use again”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m currently a proud dog dad to a six year old French Bulldog who is full of personality, energy, cuddles, and hilarious zoomies. He genuinely believes the world revolves around him, and honestly, he’s probably right. From being my little shadow to my built-in doorbell making sure nothing goes unnoticed, the love and joy dogs bring is something I truly value every day. Before my Frenchie, I grew up with a German Shepherd in the family, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, different temperaments, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ pets including Eurasiers, Chihuahuas, and cats, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of personalities and care routines. What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. Whether it’s daycare, overnight pet sitting, long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, vet visits, administering medication, injections, or making sure anxious pets feel calm and safe while their owners are away, I’ve got it covered. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, because I’d want the exact same peace of mind for my own dog. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and treated like family. I’m a freelance interior designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time between projects to give pets the attention, care, walks, and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around my own dog, Ted, my energetic and lovable French Bulldog. If I’m caring for your dog, don’t worry, Ted will be with my partner, so your pup will always get my full attention and dedicated care. I’m available most days of the week for pet sitting, daycare, and walks in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I especially prefer staying at your home when pet sitting, as I truly believe dogs feel safest and happiest in their familiar environment and routine. As a dog dad myself, whenever I travel abroad, I make sure Ted stays at home and has someone stay with him rather than moving him somewhere unfamiliar. Our little angels can already feel anxious when we’re away for long periods, so I believe keeping them comfortable in their own space helps reduce stress and gives both pets and owners peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to follow the owner’s routine, rules, and preferences as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. Every dog is different, and I completely respect how each owner chooses to raise and care for their pet. Whether your dog is crate trained, allowed to freely roam, enjoys sofa cuddles, or has certain boundaries around furniture, balconies, or garden access. I will always follow your lead and instructions carefully. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including dietary requirements, allergies, medications, health conditions, exercise levels, and behaviour patterns. Safety is extremely important to me, so I always make sure hazardous items, unsafe foods, or small objects are kept out of reach, and that pets are supervised appropriately both indoors and outdoors. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as naturally as possible, giving them plenty of care, companionship, playtime, walks, and reassurance while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.
“Anisha walked our dog Charlie while we went on holiday for 10 days and we couldn't be happier. She was punctual, professional, and great at communication—I always got a detailed update after every walk. It's a huge relief to know Anisha treats our pet like family and I'm happy to have found her. I will definitely book Anisha again. 5 stars fantastic.”

I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
About: I’m a reliable and active animal lover with several years’ experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes. Friends and family regularly trust me to walk, feed and look after their pets. I’m confident with energetic dogs, love long walks, and always prioritise safety and routine. I’m organised, punctual and happy to provide photo updates after every walk for peace of mind. I’m currently very flexible and available throughout the week, including weekday mornings and afternoons. As I’m not working full-time at the moment, I can offer consistent walks and drop-ins and adapt to your dog’s routine. I’m reliable, punctual and happy to arrange regular weekly bookings! I have a large, fully fenced garden providing a safe and secure space for dogs to play and explore. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I always follow routines closely and prioritise safety. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am happy to send updates so you feel completely reassured.
About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently we live with two feline friends who rule the roost. I have hands on experience with dealing with elderly and poorly cats of my own and also from previous volunteer work in vets and shelters. I am happy to look after other animals within the home as part of the visits (we also have a dog and chickens and have previously had reptiles, rodents, sheep and horses) as well as water plants, close/open curtains and blinds and generally make sure your place is ok in your absence.
About: I have looked after family pets, dogs, cats, a parrot & rabbits for many years but would love to help others as well. I love walking and am happy to take dogs for a long walk. I love cats as well, I would be happy to keep them company for a while, administer medication & feed them. Recently I have looked after 5 cats which was an interesting experience. Luckily they all had name tags so that I knew who was who! I would be happy to stay overnight if necessary. I have recently retired from my teaching job (food technology) so I'm now available day & night to care for your pets or to walk your dogs. I have a very safe bungalow, the garden is fenced securely in which I can look after your dogs and plenty of room inside if the weather is bad.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child, I walked my friends and families dogs of all sizes. I have done hours of work experience in a vets and cared for many unwell dogs and cats, strays, and also dogsat my friends dogs. I can read body language well and can provide accurate enrichment based on their age, size and needs. If any medication, grooming or special needs are required, let me know and I can accomodate I am currently studying an extra year at sixth form, however I don’t go in everyday and I am free most evenings, weekends and some weekdays. Over holidays I am free everyday and can travel to support owners needs. I have a fenced garden and own two rabbits and a tortoise which are kept seperate from in my own home. I can crate animals if needed, I live near to two parks and have outside areas for them to pee/poo, while also having big indoor spaces for them. In an owners home I can follow any restrictions (not on beds, diet etc).
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life! Unfortunately I am unable to have one of my own, so I thought in the meantime I share all the love I have with someone elses pooch who needs it! I provide a good mixture of discipline, adventure and love <3 I work part-time mostly from home, so I have ample time to take care of your doggies! I wake up early to walk them where we can walk around a large park in Honrchurch. I enjoy hiking and exploring the UK so your pup could benefit from some amazing adventures! We can sit together watching TV in our conservatory or sunbathe in our garden. I have a fenced garden. Our rooms are separated so they can be comfortable in one or two spaces. Our home is clean and tidy with minimal risk. I will be the sole caretaker of your furry friend.
About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
About: Hi, I’m Tori! I’ve proudly run Auntie Toris Pet Sitting Services since 2019, providing reliable, loving care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I previously worked as a Veterinary Care Assistant, so I’m confident with feeding routines, administering medication (including tablets and injections such as insulin), and supporting pets with additional or ongoing needs. Alongside this, I have experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments – from puppies to senior pets, as well as more nervous or sensitive dogs who need a calm and patient approach. I also have cats of my own and regularly foster, including hand-rearing young kittens, so I’m very comfortable caring for more delicate animals too. I’m first aid trained, DBS checked, and fully insured, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe, experienced hands. Most importantly, I treat every animal as if they were my own, giving them the same level of care, attention, and love. Pet care is my full-time routine, not something I fit in around other commitments. I run my own pet sitting business, so my days are structured around the pets in my care – including walks, feeding, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’m home throughout the day for most of the week, which means pets are rarely left alone for long periods and can stick closely to their usual routines. I also keep my schedule organised to ensure each pet gets the time and attention they need, rather than overbooking. Because this is my main focus, I’m flexible and able to adapt to different needs, whether that’s early mornings, evening visits, or more frequent check-ins. I tailor my care to each individual pet to make sure they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and time to relax. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and sleep, and I always take introductions slowly to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication, so they feel secure in their own environment while you’re away. I have experience with a wide range of needs, from energetic dogs to more nervous or sensitive pets, and I always adapt my approach to suit them. I’m also confident administering medication if required. Throughout every service, I prioritise safety, routine, and lots of love and attention, and I’m happy to provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and a natural ability to care for them. From the age of 14 to 16, I regularly walked dogs around my neighbourhood, building experience with different breeds and temperaments. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I am confident handling larger, strong dogs as well as smaller pets. I currently have a cat, who I have successfully trained to sit for treats, showing my patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I have also volunteered at animal rescues, further developing my hands-on experience and compassionate approach. I provide a loving, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. My cat is both dog- and cat-friendly and has previously lived with a Rottweiler who is his best friend and still sees regularly, so I am happy to host pets that are comfortable around cats. I am also more than happy to care for dogs of any temperament in their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure in a familiar environment. I have a flexible and reliable schedule, as I currently work part-time while my partner is at home full-time. This means there will always be someone present to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Together, we have lots of time to play, provide companionship, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, your pet will never be left feeling lonely and will receive consistent, attentive care. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a large, fully fenced garden where they can play and explore securely. I live on a quiet, non-busy road, making walks calm and stress-free. I can also provide a crate if needed, whether for training, rest, or to maintain your pet’s usual routine. My home is a relaxed, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel safe, settled, and well cared for.
About: Hi I’m Ciara and I’m 32years old and live in Romford. I work as a Dog Groomer so have plenty of experience with a variety of dogs. I grew up with dogs from the age of 8 (both in my pictures) and just adore them! I have experience with both big and small dogs as one was a Bearded Collie and the other is a Westie x Shitzu. I have 2 Cavalier Kings Charles, one is 6years old called Jagger and the other is 2 and is called Ronnie. Both love nothing more than to snooze on the sofa although Ronnie definitely enjoys pestering Jagger into some playtime! I live near a few large parks so have plenty of options to walk your pup. I have a car so can make pick up and drop off super easy and I will always give your dog a good rub down if the walk has been wet and muddy. Hope to hear from you soon :) I work part time as a home 1-1 dog groomer so I am at home all day everyday.

I have also owned my own pets including my cat aged 1 and a few German Shepard’s throughout childhood into adulthood. Currently unemployed meaning I am available fulltime to look after the pets that need to be cared for which is always a good thing for pet owners Nice big fenced off garden with currently no pets at the home.

“Gabriella was honestly so lovely with my dog. From the start, she made sure he was comfortable and settled, and I could tell he felt really safe with her. She sent me updates while I was away, which I really appreciated (especially as an anxious dog mum). When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and even smelled really nice! Which says a lot about how well she looked after him. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the effort. I’d 100% book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind to look after their dog!!”
“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”
About: Dogs have been the heart of my home for nearly two decades. After 14 wonderful years with my beloved Staffy, Tyson, I welcomed Titan into my life three years ago. Titan is a friendly, neutered Staffy-mix who truly lives up to the "nanny dog" reputation. I know how hard it is to be away from your fur-baby. I provide regular updates and photos throughout the day so you can see exactly how much fun they are having. We can't wait to welcome your pup into our home! Safety & Supervision First As a stay-at-home mum, I am home throughout the day. My husband Gurpal works from home two days a week, this means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I have two children 3 and 5 years old who have grown up with dogs their whole life. Our Daily Routine Your dog won't just be "watched"—they will be part of the family. Our days are filled with: Active Play: Frequent garden games and mental stimulation. Daily Walks: Regular outings to stretch our legs and explore. Secure Environment: I have a large family home and a garden that is significantly larger than average—fully fenced and perfect for zoomies! Home Comforts: Whether it’s lounging in our spacious living area or sunbathing in the garden, I treat our guests exactly like our own.
“An amazing lady who genuinely adores dogs and treats them like they were her own. Our Buck had an amazing four days. This was our first time using Rover and finding Leonore was a breath of fresh air- we had no worries and she made us feel at ease with the photos and videos . Will definitely be using Leonore again. 100% recommend”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Nicola and her family looked after our dog Bandit over Christmas for us. They kept in touch with photos. Bandit settled in very well and I think he will be more than happy to go back again. Very nice people and we felt very comfortable leaving Bandit with them. Will definitely use them again x”
“We booked a short 4-day stay and are very happy with the care our dog received. We were sent daily photos or videos, along with regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind. It was especially lovely to see pictures of the cuddles and walks. Our small dog requires a lot of attention, particularly when it comes to feeding, and it was clear that her individual needs were understood and cared for well. Thank you for looking after our little baby with such kindness, attention, and care. We would not hesitate to book again.”
“Amazing boarding with Kim, Bailey had a great time and Kim took such amazing care of her. Plenty of updates whilst we were away and Bailey can’t wait for her next visit with her favourite people! Thanks again Kim! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Maria was brilliant throughout the period she looked after Ozzy. She was so communicative and genuinely made him part of her family. All the family looked after him. He had a great time”
About: I've been around dogs as long as I can remember. I cared for my Frenchie from a puppy until a senior, as well as taking in other people's pets whilst they are away or aren't able to care for them. As a very active person, I love to go for long runs and adventures through forests or parks but am just as happy caring and hanging out with them when they need it. I have been pet sitting for years, however I began working with other people's pets as a part time job (I'm a professional dancer!) in 2022. Since then, I absolutely love it! I am a professional dancer and pet-sitting is my side job since I lost my beautiful dog of 12 years in 2022. I am quite available however I do leave the country occasionally to tour (this is always updated in my calendar in advance). My brother, who used to work in dog shelters in Bulgaria, is often available to cover me incase of ill-health, injury or unforseen circumstances. I have a fenced garden and a doggy door that gives pets free range to use the outdoor/indoors as they please. This can also be locked if necessary. I do have two cats who grew up with my dog for 5 years and got along with her very well. One of them is mainly outdoors, and the other is usually wherever people are. There are many beautiful parks in this area too that are safe for dogs and I regularly walk dogs around.
“Superb! Will definitely be booking again; communication throughout Kane’s stay and his needs were accommodated with no hassles. Danielle allowed for Kane take home a toy, he will now not put it down - his new favourite teddy. Couldn’t be more pleased with the service received; would recommend to anyone a bit anxious about being away from their pets, they will be in safe hands here guaranteed :)”
“Absolutely delighted to have found Darwin - he and his family (and their own dog) looked after our Lab, Cosmo, for a week - and Cosmo had a fantastic time. Darwin and his fam were really friendly and made sure that our Cosmo was right at home. Great communication throughout and we felt completely at ease on our hols knowing that Cos was happy and relaxed. Thanks, Darwin!”
About: Hi! I’m 21 years old and have been around animals my entire life. I currently look after a bullmastiff and a cat regularly, so I’m very comfortable with both large dogs and the individual routines and loveable quirks of cats! In the past, I’ve also owned and cared for rabbits and bearded dragons which has given me experience with a wide range of temperaments and care needs. As a masters student, I attend university only twice a week, so aside from my lectures, I can dedicate all my time to caring for your pet. If your dog is sociable, I can arrange safe introductions with friendly pets of my neighbours or nearby family members. If your pet prefers a quieter environment, they’ll have my flat to themselves, ensuring they never feel overwhelmed. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and on Mondays and Wednesdays before 11am and after 4pm for drop ins or visits! Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority. My flat has a secure balcony with high fencing, providing safe ventilation if your dog needs fresh air while I step out briefly. I have a crate suitable for all sizes, including large breeds like a bullmastiff, so your dog can rest securely when needed. For exercise and outdoor fun, I live next to a beautiful countryside field with a lake, perfect for safe, scenic walks. Every aspect of their environment is designed to keep them happy, secure and cared for.
“Hugo absolutely loved his time with Sarah and Obi. Sarah kindly sent us photos and updates during his stay and we could see how content and settled he was. I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah - her communication was spot on throughout and her confidence and caring nature shines through. We hope that she will be available for our next holiday! 🐾”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.
“My cockapoo Coco stayed with José for the weekend and she was very well looked after. Coco took to José straightaway and on meeting him I could tell she felt comfortable with him. I would highly recommend José and will definitely be using him again. Thank you Jose for the good care you gave to my fur baby.”
“Unbelievable care for my beautiful Gucci, thank you soooo much I would definitely be using your service again. I am soooo grateful for the care and love shown to the wellbeing of my dog.”
“Jane looked after our dog for one day and night. We were able to briefly meet before the booking so she could meet our dog and discuss her character, which was really reassuring. Jane sent several photos of our dog throughout her stay and when we collected her she was very happy. We will definitely use Jane’s services again and would highly recommend to others. Thank you Jane!”
