Very much appreciated her letting my dog sleep on her bed with her. My dog looked happy and relaxed & would not hesitate to book her again!”
“I can’t thank Demi enough. Not only did she agree very last minute to have Phoenix for me (which meant I could attend an important work trip) she was extremely accommodating and most importantly Phoenix was cared for very well, loved like part of the family and came back very happy and very tired! She had a great stay! Would 1000000000% book again. Highly recommend. Thank you Demi xx”

About: I took care of our family dog growing up, for about 7 years or so. I have also been a dog sitter for friends and family before. I really love dogs and walking around! I am available for boarding on weekends and Fridays (sometimes Thursday as well). I am a full-time working professional. I work 3 or 4 days from the office and 1 or 2 days remotely, from home. I live in a large flat with all the necessary facilities for taking care of a dog and plenty of space. I am also fairly close to green spaces and parks in central London. My building also has an adjacent well-kept garden.
About: True love for animals. I always had animals around me since I was a child in a little village in Portugal. Dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, chicken, ducks….. my biggest love are cats and since I came to London it’s a bit harder to have a pet at home. I used to take care of 3 lovely King Charles Cavalier they were such a joy to take care. I have 2 lovely daughters and they love animals too. 🥰 Currently I’m working Monday to Friday but I’m quite flexible with my time schedule. Normally I’m free till 10am. I’m available all day at the weekends. I live in a flat and it is animals friendly environment. No smoking. I will make sure to feed them and treat them with all their needs. Lots of love and cuddles that won’t be missing for sure. I will try our best to make them feel safe and they feel that they are at there home.

“Amanda is a very kind, friendly and amazing sitter. My dog Joe spent three days with her. She regularly sent me photos and updates, and I could see how calm and happy my dog was.

“Matilde was wonderful taking care of our two cats. Her communication was perfect, she was very responsive and on top of their care. We really felt like we could relax and the photos were very cute too, as an added bonus! Our cats definitely liked Matilde a lot, and they were happy and relaxed when we returned which was lovely to come back to.”
“Vitoria was great. Minnie can be quite shy with people she doesn’t know but she took a very quick liking to Vitoria, immediately demanding cuddles! Vitoria was very punctual every day, provided us with timely updates, pictures and videos, and was very kind throughout the process. We will definitely book her again.”
“It was our first time using this service and Gennaro was great. He shared many pictures at every visit and tried to befriend with our cat (a challenge since our cat is shy with strangers) which he did manage! Very happy with his service”
“Annie is a fantastic find. You can tell she truly loves what she does; my cat was completely at ease in her care. She’s a very experienced sitter who is both reliable and proactive with updates. Since this was my first time using the app, her guidance on what to expect was incredibly helpful. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter! Thank you Annie!”
“Vlad looked after our cat for a long weekend and everything went really smoothly. We were very happy with the daily videos and updates. Overall excellent service. Jack”
About: Hi! My name is Milena, a 22-year-old French girl who just moved to London! I’ve grown up with cats, and own one at the moment at my parents’ house (her name is Nyx and she’s a diva in a tuxedo.) I have also volunteered at shelters and fostered a senior cat for a few weeks until he found his forever home! I can’t see my life without being surrounded by furry friends, which is why I enjoy helping out busy owners and making sure that their pets have the best time possible :)
“Natalie was great with our kitten, she kept us posted on how it was going with pictures and made us feel super relaxed as we were using Rover for the first time. Would highly recommend :)”
“Helped me out of a really tough situation- Yan is really friendly and was up for collecting my keys from hospital, going to my home and feeding my cat, and then dropping the keys back off to me in hospital. I had no idea how I was going to get my cat fed and Yan came through! Would def recommend”
“I cannot recommend Douglas enough as a cat sitter; he was a fabulous cat sitter for our cat CeCe twice! He was able to easily manage CeCe’s medical issues, give him daily meds and asthma inhaler - and was so compassionate in general. We felt like he was quite invested in making sure our boy was doing ok while were away. Douglas is extremely communicative and kind and definitely made going on holiday easier - zero concerns. We look forward to having him in again! Thanks, Douglas.”
About: I look after your dog with love. I work from home during the week meaning i can give your dog my full attention, i allow them to sleep in my bed and make them feel at home. I live right next to Southwark Park so i can give your dog hours of outside time in the morning & evening. I work from home full time with few meetings meaning i can be very flexible with my working hours, your pet will get as much time outside as they need, lots of play time too. We have a balcony but i like to take dogs into southwark park where they can socialise, run around and get tired out before i return them to you.
“Enrica was amazing! Our dog can be shy, but he got along with Enrica right away! She definitely has a way with dogs : ). We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
About: Hi! My name is Bridget, and I’m a kind, caring, and responsible animal lover offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I’m very flexible with my schedule and happy to stay in your home to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I’ve grown up in central London so I know all the best parks for engaging and enriching walks. I also have a car and am more than happy to take your dog out of the city for a big countryside walk and a proper adventure. Sadly I can't have a dog where I live, but I’ve had my own cat for over 10 years and have regularly looked after friends' and family’s dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, warm-hearted, and experienced, I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home on my own schedule. I occasionally work in a shop where I would be able to bring a dog in and look after throughout the day. I am available every evening and almost every week day in the day time. I have a relaxed cat who keeps to himself and am walking distance from many central london parks. I provide lots of attention and cuddles but allow pets to come to me in their own time.
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and I used to live in Spain before coming here. Here in London I have taken care of two of my friends' cats and the dog of a third friend when they have gone on holidays. I have stayed at their houses as is easier for the pet to feel safe and at ease, I have made sure that they are feed, change the cats sand and taken the dog on walks and to the park to play. I am currently working 2–3 days a week in the mornings, up to 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, or 2:30 PM per day in retail, and three evenings a week as a childminder from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM (sometimes 5:30 PM). I am always free one whole day per week (mostly Tuesdays), most evenings, and Saturday afternoon. First of all, I make sure to follow all the instructions that the owner gives me. I keep an eye on anything they can eat and I play with them.
“Sevinj was an absolute star with our sweet Poppy! She took really good care of her while we were away. We contacted her with very short notice, she was super flexible and helpfu. She sent us lots of videos and photos and she’s was super sweet. We definitely recommend her and we will be booking her again in future for sure! Thank you Sevinj, absolute star 💖”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs while growing up. I used to take in homeless pets and take care of them. I also had my own pets, 2 dogs with puppies and one cat Milo which unfortunately not longer have :( I also had a rabbit and a parrot for 10 years. I have pet sit for my friends and neighbours and received good reviews. Now I am doing Petsitting when I have free time and have clients in the area that will provide good references. I have a very flexible work shift pattern, sometimes being off for 4 days straight. This allows me to be very flexible with my availability for pet sitting. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom flat on the second floor in a quiet residential area. The space is suitable for only 1 pet to ensure I provide the best care.
“Irem was very lovely. She was really communicative and flexible. She is really friendly and warm. Chestnut has a lot of energy but he had a great time with her and I would most definitely book with Irem again.”
“Max has looked after Mabel each Wednesday for the last 4 weeks and hopefully many more 😊. She is always happy to see Max and he patiently puts up with her barky arrivals! It sounds like she settles very well and makes herself straight at home! It works perfectly for me as my office is an easy walk from dropping her off. Would definitely recommend 💯”
About: I've spent the past three years caring for all kinds of pets, from energetic puppies to laid-back senior cats, and it's been a truly rewarding journey. Whether it's pet sitting or dog walking, I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and needs. I've become pretty skilled at recognizing what makes them happy and comfortable, whether that's a game of fetch, a leisurely stroll, or just some good belly rubs. One of the best parts of this job is the bonds I build with both the pets and their owners. It's a great feeling knowing that pets are excited to see me and that their owners have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every pet I look after. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, I'm here to help! Mornings start with cheerful greetings and energetic walks, setting a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I ensure pets receive timely meals, play sessions, and plenty of affection, all tailored to their unique personalities. Evenings are dedicated to winding down together, whether it's cuddling up indoors or enjoying a leisurely stroll before bedtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets in their own homes. I take extra care to ensure that their environment is secure and comfortable. This includes double-checking that doors and gates are properly closed and secure before any outdoor activities. Inside, I'm vigilant about removing any potential hazards like small objects or toxic plants that pets could accidentally ingest. I also maintain a routine of careful supervision during playtime and ensure that any medications or special instructions from pet owners are followed to the letter. By maintaining a safe and loving environment, I aim to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.
“Really happy with Micco’s looking after my terrier Marvin, who has come home happy after a day playing with as many toys as he could manage, and a great long walk. Micco’s been communicative and responsive and I’ll definitely be calling on his daycare skills again!”
“India is a wonderful sitter! Tuesday took to her immediately and she kept us updated on all the fun they were having together throughout the day. She also made sure he kept cool during the heatwave and is really well equipped with everything you need from a dog sitter. I picked up a very happy dog at the end of the day :)”
“Couldnt have felt safer leaving Eleven with Matilde. Matilde was amazing with Eleven, I dropped Eleven off and she took to Matilde instantly, she is a very kind and gentle person, caring, attentive and welcoming, Eleven had an amazing time, I got plenty of photos and updates throughout the day, Eleven had lovely long walks, nice chilled time and plenty of fusses, I would highly recommend Matilde, id not leave my dog with anyone else, I was running late to pick Eleven up, Matilde was kind and happy to keep Eleven until we got there, I was 45 minutes late and I only had kindness and understanding from Matilde. Any dog would be safe and cared for with Matilde.”
“Yogi was clearly well loved! Thank you Yana for taking care of Yogi. I made a really last minute booking; thank you for accommodating my late request. Also really great communication. Thank you again”
About: I was a dedicated dog owner for several years and gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and administering routine care. Looking after my own dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, as I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate pets’ individual needs, including feeding times, walks, play sessions, companionship, and any special care requirements. I am available throughout the week and can adjust my routine to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I live in a clean, secure flat that is suitable for caring for pets. I make sure pets have constant access to fresh water, regular feeding according to their routine, daily exercise and playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I maintain a safe environment by keeping hazardous items out of reach and ensuring doors and windows are secure. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and household routines to help pets feel comfortable and maintain consistency while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Alexandra was very sweet and took care of Atlas very well. It looks like he had a lot of fun with her! She paid attention to our requests and she sent us lots of nice photos and videos of their time together.”
About: Hi, i’m an artist and part time yoga teacher, I work from my studio at home. I love animals, something I discovered about myself eighteen years ago, whilst living on an idyllic holiday resort on the Greek islands. It was there I found an abandoned helpless puppy, thrown into a trashcan on the sidewalk. I didn't know it then but this was to be a defining moment and would change my life forever. The love from an animal is always unconditional and has filled me with joy!!! I’d never experienced this kind of love, what a blessing! Some years later we returned to the UK together. He lived a full and happy life and when some, three or so years ago, we lost him to cancer, I was totally crushed. I’ve since adopted a Greek rescue and he`s adorable. I love all dogs and cats alike. I make it my primary focus to give them long walks, the best of nature`s lush and green. At least an hour plus in the mornings and again in the evenings, I'm a firm believer that getting a dog outdoors for plenty of fresh air and meandering walks, makes for a more happy and contented dog. These walks in nature have helped me too. I never walk less than an hour. And I tend to gravitate to more remote areas. I've grown accustomed to the great outdoors my days wouldn't be complete without this lush of green open oasis. I’m around Totteridge and Whetstone area, so lots of interesting walks to be had. I tend to go to Whetstone stray fields, Dorlands nature reserve, Totteridge fields reserve and Brook farm, alternating between these areas to make it interesting for your dog. I’m available for walks in the morning or evening. This is an area full of woodland, pretty meadows, lakes and open fields. These style walks offer your pets everything they need, foraging sniffing and chasing/playing, both soothing and invigorating for all dogs of all breeds and ages. I administer medication on a daily basis for my pet dog as we manage a condition he has called Leishmania. I am flexible/responsible and accommodating to all the needs of pet care. I can tailor the walks to suit your pet/pets. It’s important to me he/she is comfortable and relaxed around me or other dogs. I will only ever have 3 dogs on any walk. And this reflects my fee. I consult with the owners as to their personal preferences. But on the first few walks I prefer to keep dogs on leads just until we build a bond. I like to inquire from the pet owner on specific dietary needs and how frequent the walks should be. I like to be informed on everything before I take on any job.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years. From daily walks and feeding to playtime and cuddles, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing consistent, loving care. Living right next to a park means dogs in my care enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and fun every day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as I work from home. I plan my day around walks, feeding times, and quality time with the dogs in my care. Living right next to a park makes it easy to include regular outdoor exercise and fresh air. Being home most of the day means pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and clean home environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I always follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walking, and any specific instructions. Living next to a park allows for safe, regular walks, and I ensure dogs are always supervised, whether at home or outside. As I work from home, pets are never left alone for long and receive constant care and attention.

Dogs have always been a big part of my life. My family currently has three Labrador Retrievers, including a certified therapy dog and a young puppy, so I'm familiar with caring for dogs of all ages, personalities and energy levels. During the four years I've lived in Pimlico, I also cared for our much-loved West Highland Terrier, Nelson, giving me experience supporting a dog through his senior years. I recently returned from three months of travelling, with Costa Rica being my favourite destination thanks to its incredible wildlife and natural environment. Spending time around animals has always been something I've loved, whether exploring nature or caring for family pets. I'm based in Pimlico (SW1V) and am currently searching for my next full-time role, which means I have excellent daytime availability and a flexible schedule for dog walks, drop-in visits and overnight care throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I'm also happy to travel across Pimlico, Victoria, Belgravia, Chelsea and the surrounding areas to care for your pets. I know every pet is unique, and I'll treat yours with the same patience, kindness and attention that I give my own family's animals. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I'm currently searching for my next full-time role, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. This means I can accommodate morning, lunchtime and evening visits, as well as longer walks and overnight stays. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I can build my day around ensuring each pet gets the time, attention and routine they need. My schedule is also flexible at weekends, so I'm happy to help with both regular and last-minute bookings where possible. Your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide, to help them feel comfortable and settled. At home, we have a secure, fully enclosed walled garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. Our downstairs is open plan, giving pets plenty of space to relax while remaining part of the household. We love animals and provide a calm, caring environment where they'll be treated as one of the family. We also have a friendly family cat who comes and goes as she pleases, so I'll always make sure any boarding dogs are comfortable around cats before accepting a booking. When caring for pets in your home, I'll respect both your pet's routine and your home as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos, and I'm happy to bring in post, water plants or carry out other small tasks while you're away.
“Wallace had a great time with Aron and his family. They sent us lots of updates with photos and videos and Wallace was relaxed and happy when we collected him. Would definitely go with Aron again!”

“Pablo has helped with our dog Percy a number of times. He has always been reliable and flexible even when we needed help in the last minute and Percy loves his walks with him. Thank you Pablo!”
“Aveline is responsible, punctual and easy to work with. She was able to make our two furry babies feel comfortable and safe when on walks with her. Aveline takes them to the park and they get tired after long walks. One of our dogs is almost 15 years old and Aveline was able to make him feel comfortable. What I appreciate the most is that Aveline is always on time, positive and responsible. Sometimes Aveline walks them extra 10-15 minutes. Highly recommend Aveline!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals (dogs, cats, birds of all ages), worked in veterinary clinics and completed my bachelor's in Veterinary Sciences at the University of Nottingham. I am currently working full-time (from 9am to 5pm) in Canary Wharf, but would love to take care of pets afterwards or on the weekends. I pay a lot of attention to what they need, whether it be food, walks, or cuddles! If they're quieter, I give them space. If they're more excited and full of energy, I play with them!
About: Hi, I’m Yan Yi! I’ve got an 14 year old golden retriever at home in Singapore, and have been regularly walking dogs in London since I moved here for uni in 2022. I love walking around the city, but whenever I'm walking in a park, I always think to myself: this would be so much more fun with a dog. I'm fond of long walks, so if you've got an energetic pup that needs a lot of exercise to tire them out, I'm your girl! I’m currently an postgraduate university student. I am willing to work around your preferred timings as much as necessary, and can take on last minute bookings as well. Outside of the parks, I will never walk your dog off-leash, and even then will only do so if I have met and spent enough time with your dog for mutual trust to exist. (And of course, only if I have your permission!)
“Enrica took care of my dog a few days while we were away. She is patient and took my dog for longer walk than usual. My dog is a rescued dog which is quite timid but still likes her.”
About: Despite not having dogs myself, I have always been the trusted neighbour and friend to look after dogs when owners are away, when they need a day off, or just whenever the pup needs a playdate! I love dogs of any breed, so you can rest assured that your dog is going to receive plenty of love and cuddles from me! Im a university student who only needs to go into campus once ever two weeks. Thus, that leaves me pretty free for about 13 days in a fortnight I live in an apartment that is 1,180 square feet so your pet will have plenty of space to run around! if needed, there is also space for crates and any pee or poo pads to be placed around the house as well :)
About: I’m a freelance musician and animal lover! I’m dog and cat obsessed and take any chance I can to pet a furry friend :) I have two bengal cats back at my family home that I go visit whenever I can, but when I’m here in London, I miss them more than anything! 🥲 I would love to look after your pet and give them loads of cuddles, care and attention, and treat them just like my own two. I mostly work from home so my timetable is pretty flexible, which means I can usually schedule my day around your pet’s needs and their normal timetable! I’m extremely neat and tidy and will always treat your home with care and respect. Always happy to clean up any pet mess, so you don’t have to worry when you go away.
“Jessica has been brilliant walking Phoebe a few times a week while I recover from knee surgery - Phoebs always comes back happy and tired from her walk and park adventures, and Jessica has been super reliable and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!”
“Shuhan took a last minute booking, which is absolutely incredible. Really appreciate it. She was caring and engaged with Theo. He seems to ahead enjoyed their time together as he was absolutely exhausted. 😃 Absolute superstar!”
“I can’t thank Annie enough for taking care of Teddy for me during my flying visit to London. I will always book them in during future visits (and I just wish they lived near my home so I could book them every time I need Teddy looked after!) Thanks Annie! x”
About: I had a dog for 11 years growing up - taking care of her from when she was a puppy until she was a senior dog. I have lots of experience caring for smaller dogs at any age! I also have experience taking care of partially sighted dogs. I am aware of the impact on their depth perception and being careful of their blind spots. I work from home most days, so have lots of time to look after your dog, or take them out for a walk. We also live in close proximity to several parks. I will always supervise dogs when outside in the garden especially and be vigilant on walks. During periods of warmer weather, I have a cooling mat, cooling bibs and even a dog paddling pool, which I can bring along to keep your pup cool!

“Jack is a friendly and caring dog walker whom Arlo, my 11 year old black lab, took to immediately. Arlo is not the easiest of dogs to walk, but Jack listened carefully to my instructions and seems to enjoy the walks as much as Arlo. Highly recommended.”

“Very good experience, Tracy is well taken care of by Lucia and her husband. She sent me very frequent update and help to walk her every 3 to 4 hours. Will definitely rebook her :)”
“Francini was a wonderful sitter for my dog! She took her time to understand my dogs needs and reassured she’d do just fine. She is responsible, communicative, flexible & caring. Very much appreciated her letting my dog sleep on her bed with her. My dog looked happy and relaxed & would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Luisa was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our pup Maya had a great time with her and her partner while we were out of town and constantly shared updates and pictures. 10/10, will definitely be booking again. 🙂”
“Shuhan was amazing with Gigi, she sent me photos every day of Gigi being silly and made me feel very good that Gigi was in good hands while I was gone. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup ❤️”
“We were left with the most positive impressions. I can wholeheartedly recommend Yunan and Wei to everyone. They took wonderful care of Mishka, followed all of our requests, paid attention to every little detail, and asked lots of additional questions. Every day, they sent detailed photo and video updates about Mishka’s condition, both from walks and at home. Yunan and Wei are very kind and easy to communicate with, and it was a pleasure dealing with them. I would definitely choose them again next time. ❤️❤️❤️”
“We were delighted to have Gabriella sit our dog. She was so helpful and kind sending regular up dates and photos etc. The dog obviously loved his time with her. We would heartily recommend her as an A1 sitter.”
“They kept me informed the whole time and always responded quickly to my messages. Frijol had a great time with them, and it was clear he was well cared for and that they paid close attention to him. I would definitely book them again.”
“Freddy obviously enjoyed himself with Jason ! Communication was excellent, arrangements were flexible with regard to timings etc. Pics and notes sent to me while Freddy was with Jason. Very happy with the service Jason provided and have no qualms in recommending. Thank you Jason!”
“Kenzo really enjoyed his 10 day stay with Corinne. I was kept up to date with what he was up to and received pictures too which were great. I felt very reassured. Kenzo will definitely be back.”
“Thank you so much. My pup was really looked after. I had lots of updates throughout the day with pictures. We forget his bed so went back and my dog was excited to go back. Based on that response from him, we will be regular customers.”
“Isabelle and her partner looked after our 2 year-old springer spaniel Dexter recently for a day and overnight stay. Isabelle was absolutely brilliant - Dexter can be a bit anxious and overexcited at times, but she made him feel relaxed right from the off, and she also wasn’t phased by his occasionally exuberant lead behaviour! She gave Dexter all the fun and games he needed in the park, and kept us really well appraised with regular updates and pictures so we knew how he was getting on. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thanks Isabelle 😊”
About: Hi, this is Max and Rosie. We’ve both grown up around dogs and absolutely love having them around. We’d love to have a dog of our own one day, but for now looking after other people’s dogs is the perfect fit for us. We both work from home full time, so dogs in our care get lots of attention, company, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We also make the most of long lunch break walks and evening walks, so dogs get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and stimulation. We know how important it is for owners to feel their dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and we’ll always treat every dog like they’re our own. Pet care fits easily into our daily routine as we both work from home full time. This means dogs in our care are never left alone for long periods and get plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We typically start the day with a morning walk and feeding, followed by regular breaks during working hours for toilet trips, short walks and playtime. This helps keep dogs settled, stimulated, and comfortable while we work. We use our lunch break for a longer walk to give dogs exercise and outdoor time. In the evenings, we go out again for a final walk, followed by feeding, wind-down time, and plenty of attention before bedtime. At weekends, we have more flexibility for longer walks, park visits, and extra enrichment depending on each dog’s needs and energy levels. We care for every pet as if they were our own, focusing on safety, routine, and comfort at all times. In our home, dogs are supervised throughout the day as we both work from home full time. This means they are never left alone for long periods and always have company, attention, and regular check-ins. We maintain a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We always keep balcony doors and windows closed to ensure a fully safe and secure indoor space for all pets. We follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walking times, and any specific care instructions from owners. We are attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active play, quiet rest, or extra reassurance. Walks are always on-lead unless we have explicit permission from the owner to do otherwise, and we choose safe, suitable walking routes. We avoid unsafe situations and always prioritise the dog’s wellbeing in every decision. We keep open communication with owners, providing updates and photos so they feel confident and reassured while their pet is with us. Whether in our home or a pet owner’s home, we are respectful, reliable, and treat the space and pet with the utmost care and responsibility.
“Our dog had a great time staying with Sascha. She kept us updated with how he was getting on and was flexible with drop off and pick up. He can’t wait to go back in a couple of weeks!”
“Jacob and Lucy were absolutely amazing dog sitters for our German Shepherd, and we couldn’t have asked for better care during the week we were away. They were confident and experienced with large, energetic dogs, and made sure she got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Our dog has GI issues and they kept us updated on her progress; we really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. They even took her on a long hike and she loved the extra walks and outdoor time! I would highly recommend Jacob and Lucy to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters. It is super comforting to know your dog is well looked after and loved - thank you both!!”
