“Artemis enjoyed a month-long stay with Rodrigo and came back healthy, energetic, and happy as usual—this was her third time having fun with Rodrigo! Rodrigo was communicative and we really appreciated that Artemis was safe and well for an extended period of time.”
“Rob stepped in at the last minute to take care of our ten month old puppy Casper for the weekend, when our sitter dropped out because of Casper’s mild kennel cough. He wasn’t phased by the short notice, let Casper come and meet him before the booking started, and looked after Casper very well. Happy puppy, happy owner!”
“The best of the best! Fran has been absolutely amazing with Bella and Bella genuinely loved being with her - It was evident from Bella’s photos and her goodbye to her. Definitely would recommend Fran to sit dogs 10/10 - she’s been absolutely amazing”
“Lluis and Olivier took such wonderful care of our dog Oscar. We received regular updates and when picking him up Oscar had to really think who he wanted to stay with. We have a 2 week stay coming up in August and now feel so comfortable knowing He will be looked after so we'll.”
“Catalina and her husband were amazing! They took Wally on so many outings, sent me many photos and were very responsive. I didn’t have the chance to meet them beforehand but I felt so comfortable the entire time Wally was there because of their communication. They took great care of my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to sit for him again!”
“I highly recommend Yang for anyone looking for a sitter. She was very responsive, always on time, and provided great care to Fuji during her stay. She regularly shared photos and videos, which made me feel reassured while I was away. Fuji came home happy and healthy. Thank you Yang, for taking great care of Fuji!”
“Olivia has looked after our two Golden Retrievers, Windy and Bailey, several times, and we couldn’t be happier with her. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and caring, and we always feel that our dogs are in the best hands with her. She keeps us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. Windy and Bailey are always happy and well cared for when they’re with her. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog sitter!🥰🤗”
“Maria is absolutely wonderful! She has looked after our two cats more than three times now, and we’ve already booked her for our next trips. She is incredibly structured, organized, and reliable. Most importantly, she truly loves our cats as if they were her own. We have complete peace of mind whenever we are away. Highly recommended!”
About: I have a dog at family home, a shiba inu an also a corgi/shiba mix. So miss having a dog in london and is open to walk and take care of dogs! Just recently looked after a coworker dog (6yrs old) and I had taught her to do Paw with her stay with me. I’m currently on a work break so I have a lot of time at the moment during the day. My nights are also very chilled, I live in a nice big apartment so there are enough space to dog sit, and great green areas around me. I live in a big apartment with friends who are also previous dog owners/lovers. Its a great space for a dog to feel comfortable.
“Emma and Buchizya were fabulous! They looked after Onion so well, and he seemed super happy with them. Both super friendly, and very accommodating when I was running late to collect Onion. Would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“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.”
“Geri looked after Truffles for a long weekend and I knew she was in good hands. I was kept up to date and never had to worry as I knew she was surrounded by love. Highly recommend!”
“Lucia looked after our dog Rufio while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She lives in a fantastic spot for dogs, with access to a secure, gated garden nearby where they can play and explore. Lucia and her family are incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Throughout Rufio’s stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s always quick to respond and made the whole process feel effortless. I truly can’t recommend Lucia highly enough — she’s amazing, and Rufio absolutely loved his time with her. It’s such a relief to know we’ve found someone we trust to care for him in the future. He already can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Yuza (Sohjeong) has been amazing! Our dog has had the best time of his life with her, and thanks to her regular photo and video updates, we felt like we never left. Yuza has been very caring, attentive and diligent, so I knew Pi was in the safe hands. She even made a heartwarming dog POV video in the end ☺️”
“I found Collette last minute after being let down for a dog sitter, she was extremely accommodating and on time for our meeting, pick up and drop offs and seemed to have a real love for dogs and genuinely care about their well being. Roo got along with Bruno & Collette instantly and it looked like she had a lovely time staying there and was inseparable from Bruno during her stay. Collette was great with sending lots of updates and photos. I have already booked Roos next stay there and would definitely recommend!”
“Tolly had a wonderful time with Gina and Bailey. Lots of walks, cuddles and even a bath and groom! He came back happy and relaxed from his holiday. I had lots of updates and it was lovely to see him having such a fun time.”
“Elsa is a dog lover to her core! Our dog, Juno, was recovering from a knee operation and was also experiencing a lot of anxiety at the time. So naturally, we were worried about finding someone who could look after her to the same standard that we did. However, we truly met our match in Elsa! Elsa has experience with owning a dog that had lots of needs, including knee surgeries, so we knew Juno was being left in great hands! We met up the day before so Juno and Elsa could meet before her stay. Elsa has a really calm and warm energy, which, for our anxious dog, was perfect. After that first meetup, we felt at ease with the idea of leaving Juno in her care. Throughout the boarding, we were updated with photos, videos and messages. Juno was given medication, taken on her restricted walks and even got to sleep in the bed! When we went to collect her the following day, we could see that absolutely every treat and toy had been enjoyed. Success!! We highly recommend Elsa!! Whether your pet is healthy, recovering or living with ailments, Elsa would take wonderful care of them. This app is full of dog lovers, but there is a big difference between someone who wants to hang out with a dog and someone who is happy to take over the responsibility of caring for a poorly dog. Which is why I will end this with how I started, Elsa is a dog lover to her core!”
“Michaela was once again brilliant with Marco. She clearly has a big affinity with dogs (certainly with Marco). We received lots of photos and videos of Marco on day trips and she was very flexible with pick up and drop off times etc.”

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 :)
“Giulia was a fabulous cat sitter and really easy to communicate with. She sent great updates through the week and our shy cat seemed to feel really comfortable with her. Thank you so much!”
About: I love cats and grew up with them - I understand their nature. I have done a great number of pet sits with cats and provided other cat care such as pop in visits on other platforms and have enjoyed every second! I love a lap cat, a chatty cat, a playful cat and I even have a special place in my heart for the shy and nervous cats.
“Metti did a wonderful job of looking after our 2 kitties Moomin and Goma. They seemed relaxed and happy after we are back home and she sent regular photos and updates during the whole sit too! Definitely recommend :)”
“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!”
“Can't thank Kerri and Ian enough for the care given to my 2 kitties while we were away. daily updates were great, which left us to relax and enjoy the break. have not had a regular sitter before but will book them again definitely. Thank you!!!”
“Vlad was responsive, reliable and very attentive with my two cats throughout the booking. He sent great updates and photos, which was really reassuring while I was away. My cats are normally quite shy, but they really took a shine to Vlad, which says a lot. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands and I’ll certainly be booking with him again. Highly recommended!”
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’ve always been a huge cat lover and have had plenty of experience caring for cats of different personalities and ages. From playful and curious kittens to more independent or senior cats, I’m comfortable giving each cat the attention and care they need. Living and working in London, away from home, I’d love the opportunity to spend time with cats and give them some company while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different — some love cuddles and attention, while others prefer their own space — and I’m happy to follow their lead and routine. Most importantly, you can rest assured that your cat will be cared for with plenty of patience, affection and attention, so they can feel comfortable, safe and happy while you’re away! 🐱❤️
“So lucky to have Gennaro come over again to look after my cat, Jay! He is super quick to respond, very polite & friendly, takes amazing photos of my cat for the Rover cards :) thank you again, Gennaro!”
“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”
“Douglas was so great with Roxie! We were so glad to have someone who played with her and entertained her while we were gone. This is our second time using Douglas, and we highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Valery was simply great. We have a diabetic cat and she looked after him, including injecting him twice a day. He immediately warmed to her and she sent us lots of photos and videos. We had some last minute travel delays and Valery was very flexible in being able to help us out and we are very grateful for that. We will definitely be using Valery again.”
“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!”
“Vitoria was a lifesaver! She looked after our cat for 5 days and was an amazing cat sitter. She made sure to play with Babka every day, was very punctual with feeding/cleaning up the litter and sent us regular updates. Moreover, she was super respectful about the flat and kept it super clean and tidy. I’d recommend her for any cat sitting any day!”
About: Not only do I have a 6 year old labradoodle back home in California but I also love walking, playing, and running with all pets. I'm a responsible solicitor who effectively manages my time and I have the experience in multiple corporate and customer service industries to manage a variety of tasks including the management of a children's summer camp. I can provide references if necessary and have experience both house sitting pets and taking care of multiple animals for extended periods of time. I know a lot about dogs and animals in general. I'm very attentive and will be accommodating to whatever your needs are for your individual pet. Salary for each task is also negotiable. Thank you.
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - London
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 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.
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.
“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.”
“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: With 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pupswhich include a lovable French Bulldog and a loyal American Staffy (blue). I understand what it takes to keep dogs of different breeds happy, healthy, and well-behaved. We have a warm, loving household where every dog is treated like part of the family. I’m currently a student, but I live just 5 minutes from campus, which means I’m able to be home frequently throughout the day to give dogs plenty of care and attention. I structure my schedule so pets are never left alone for long periods regular potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles are always built in. When I’m not at home, I’m never far away, so I can easily check in and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. Even on my busiest days, I’m committed to maintaining a consistent routine that keeps pups happy, relaxed, and well cared for. In my home, pets get a safe, structured, and loving environment. I make sure every dog feels like part of our family from the moment they arrive. I provide: Regular walks and potty breaks, plus fun play sessions to burn energy and keep them engaged Clean feeding routines that respect each dog’s diet and schedule Positive reinforcement for good behavior and calm manners Close attention to stress signals, especially for dogs who may be shy or adjusting to a new place Safety is a top priority. I always use secure leashing outdoors and maintain a pet-proofed indoor space. My goal is to keep every dog comfortable, relaxed, and happy, just like I do with my own pups.
“Io e la mia famiglia eravamo a Londra per turismo, avevamo biglietti per uno spettacolo a teatro e avevamo necessità di una dog sitter. Nonostante il last minute Diana è stata molto disponibile alle nostre esigenze. Kendra è stata ospitata a casa sua ed è stata subito a suo agio. La consiglierei a tutti.”
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 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.
“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”
“Ashley was great at communicating, sent lots of updates and our dog, Bear, clearly had the best day! He was flexible with timings and quickly built a great rapport with Bear. Bear looks forward to his next day of fun with Ashley!”
“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!”
“Yuka is an amazing sitter! Blue had an amazing day and I was updated with how everything was going during the day. Blue's made a really good friend in Yuka and will be seeing her again. 🙂 Thanks again Yuka 😀”
“Marlyth was exceptionally good with our little doggo considering it was the first time they met. She seems to really love dogs and come across very attentive. She kept our dog busy and took her for a walk. I would 100% recommend her and use her services again”
About: I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe and cared for. I treat every pup like family: patient, gentle, and reliable. I pay close attention to routines, follow instructions carefully, and always put your dog’s comfort and safety first. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for. You can trust that I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine, with consistency, kindness, and plenty of belly rubs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule as a university student. Since I’m not working full-time, I have plenty of availability to focus on your pet’s needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, or company during the day. My free time allows me to give your dog or cat consistent attention and build a real bond with them, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. My home is a safe and welcoming space for pets. It’s quiet, clean, and free of hazards, giving your dog or cat plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I make sure there’s always fresh water available, cozy spots for resting, and space for play. Because I spend a lot of time at home, your pet will never feel lonely and will always have company and supervision. Whether they want cuddles on the couch or a calm place to nap, I’ll make sure they feel right at home.
“Manuela was a wonderful sitter for our elderly pooch Holly - she arrived on time, was attentive to Holly’s needs and shared regular updates. We couldn’t ask for more, thank you!”
“Ciara was brilliant with our Jack Russell and he loved staying with her. She kept us updated with photos and he was sorry to leave at the end of the day. 10/10 would definitely use again!”
“We are so happy we found Yisseth! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, which really put us at ease. It’s clear our dog received the best care possible. We will definitely continue to work with Yisseth and highly recommend her to others.”

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.
About: I have taken care of friends’ dogs for years, I love them but sadly can’t have one of my own because of work travel so would love to dog sit to help you and get the furry fix! I’m active, friendly I have flexibility to work from home when needed, mon - Fri. Office is also open to pets. Around work I have no fixed commitments, just often gymming and getting out and about! I live in a pet friendly apartment very close to both Clapham and Wandsworth Commons so lots of green space around. Space for crates if needed.
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!
About: I’ve been dog sitting for five year, I absolutely love dogs and signed up for Rover just because I love hanging out with dogs. I’ve volunteered at dog shelters in fiji and have raised a dog of my own who has sadly passed away. Since I’m currently a student I’m unable to adopt a dog and give them the time they deserve so I figured dog sitting is the best option for me. Very flexible in terms of time! I also have experience with dogs that have had disabilities and very strict care regimens due to old age so I’m prepared for almost anything I’m currently a student (starting September) but other than that I’m usually home and free to take care of your dog and usually don’t go out. No matter how strict of a core regimen your dog has, I promise to follow it to a T, I’ll do whatever is needed to make your baby happy and comfortable with me. I do live in a flat however there’s a beautiful garden for dogs to play in if you need me to bring them to my place for the day.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Currently while I’m in the UK my dog, a golden retriever named Chispa, is with my family back home and I miss her dearly! I have trained all my dogs and was always the one caring for them, taking them on walks, taking care of them when they were sick, and giving them tons of love!! I’m starting my Master’s degree by end September, so I don’t have a clear picture of my schedule, but I know I will have some free time, as well as weekends. I can easily control dogs (unless I’m extreme circumstances) and will do as told by the owners’ instructions. Usually I keep my dogs with me, or near me and do regular checks on them. I have no problem giving them medications, or taking them out, or even getting them to eat when they’re being difficult.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I regularly pet sit for family dogs and have experience looking after their different personalities, routines and individual needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, caring and responsible, and I understand how important it is to treat every dog as an individual. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to provide your pup with plenty of attention, exercise and companionship while you’re away or busy. At the moment my schedule changes from week to week so I will update this when needed. But I will be available full days at least 2 days a week. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and regularly pet sit for family dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. Dog walking is my preferred service, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and care while keeping them safe at all times. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding, treats, playtime and medication where appropriate. I can also provide pet sitting in your own home if needed, helping your dog feel comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is in safe, caring and responsible hands.
“Annie has been walking my boys for the last few weeks and she's fantastic! Very communicative, always cleans them of all of the gunk of the London streets and they seem so much better behaved after spending time every day with Annie!”
“Enrica has been an absolute lifesaver for both me and Haku. Her attention to detail and willingness to accommodate Haku's unique needs, from ensuring she's walked with the right gear to keeping her safe and happy during their outings, truly sets her apart. Enrica's thoughtful approach and clear communication have been invaluable, making it easy for me to trust her with Haku's care. Enrica truly goes above and beyond- from taking Haku to an agility course (which is her favorite), to preventing Haku from scaling trees when she goes full-on squirrel-chaser. And Enrica, thank you for your understanding and patience as I finally write this review! You're truly a gem, and I'm grateful to have you as our trusted dog walker.”
“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 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.
“Simone is super communicative and reliable. She is also really good with Paolo who can get anxious and stressed on walks, and she calms him down so well. It's so great to see their bond form.”
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!)
“Antoinette is an excellent dog sitter/walker who showers Ludo with care & affection during their time together. She is punctual, friendly and responsive in communication, and we will definitely be using her again.”

“Rob stepped in at the last minute to take care of our ten month old puppy Casper for the weekend, when our sitter dropped out because of Casper’s mild kennel cough. He wasn’t phased by the short notice, let Casper come and meet him before the booking started, and looked after Casper very well. Happy puppy, happy owner!”
“The best of the best! Fran has been absolutely amazing with Bella and Bella genuinely loved being with her - It was evident from Bella’s photos and her goodbye to her. Definitely would recommend Fran to sit dogs 10/10 - she’s been absolutely amazing”
About: I have a dog at family home, a shiba inu an also a corgi/shiba mix. So miss having a dog in london and is open to walk and take care of dogs! Just recently looked after a coworker dog (6yrs old) and I had taught her to do Paw with her stay with me. I’m currently on a work break so I have a lot of time at the moment during the day. My nights are also very chilled, I live in a nice big apartment so there are enough space to dog sit, and great green areas around me. I live in a big apartment with friends who are also previous dog owners/lovers. Its a great space for a dog to feel comfortable.
“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.”
“Lucia looked after our dog Rufio while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She lives in a fantastic spot for dogs, with access to a secure, gated garden nearby where they can play and explore. Lucia and her family are incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Throughout Rufio’s stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s always quick to respond and made the whole process feel effortless. I truly can’t recommend Lucia highly enough — she’s amazing, and Rufio absolutely loved his time with her. It’s such a relief to know we’ve found someone we trust to care for him in the future. He already can’t wait for his next stay!”
“I found Collette last minute after being let down for a dog sitter, she was extremely accommodating and on time for our meeting, pick up and drop offs and seemed to have a real love for dogs and genuinely care about their well being. Roo got along with Bruno & Collette instantly and it looked like she had a lovely time staying there and was inseparable from Bruno during her stay. Collette was great with sending lots of updates and photos. I have already booked Roos next stay there and would definitely recommend!”
“Elsa is a dog lover to her core! Our dog, Juno, was recovering from a knee operation and was also experiencing a lot of anxiety at the time. So naturally, we were worried about finding someone who could look after her to the same standard that we did. However, we truly met our match in Elsa! Elsa has experience with owning a dog that had lots of needs, including knee surgeries, so we knew Juno was being left in great hands! We met up the day before so Juno and Elsa could meet before her stay. Elsa has a really calm and warm energy, which, for our anxious dog, was perfect. After that first meetup, we felt at ease with the idea of leaving Juno in her care. Throughout the boarding, we were updated with photos, videos and messages. Juno was given medication, taken on her restricted walks and even got to sleep in the bed! When we went to collect her the following day, we could see that absolutely every treat and toy had been enjoyed. Success!! We highly recommend Elsa!! Whether your pet is healthy, recovering or living with ailments, Elsa would take wonderful care of them. This app is full of dog lovers, but there is a big difference between someone who wants to hang out with a dog and someone who is happy to take over the responsibility of caring for a poorly dog. Which is why I will end this with how I started, Elsa is a dog lover to her core!”
“Peach was so happy with Maria, whose correspondence was great; she kept us up to date with photos, and was very accommodating of Peach’s specific needs. It was evident how happy Peach was while staying with her. We would love Maria to look after Peach in the future and highly recommend her!”

Whether it’s going for long walks, playing, feeding, or simply giving them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I live near Regent’s Park, which is perfect for enjoyable walks, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know your dog is happy while you’re away.

I’m available throughout the week and can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding and companionship around their usual routine.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have owned both a Samoyed and a Doberman, giving me experience with very different breeds and personalities. While I don’t currently have a dog because I travel, I regularly dogsit and love spending time with dogs of all sizes. I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and following their usual routines, and I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine as I work from home with a flexible schedule. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks are a regular part of my day. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your dog’s usual routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and any special requirements before caring for them. I always keep dogs on a lead unless instructed otherwise in a safe, enclosed area, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of affection, exercise, and supervision so they feel relaxed and secure while you’re away.
About: We’ve had pets all our lives. We moved to London 3 years ago and really miss having a dog running around. Unfortunately we can’t commit to owning our own dog just yet but love looking after other people’s furry friends! We have hybrid work schedules between working from home and our office days. Mostly office based two days a week but depends on the week!! We have a small fenced garden which will be accessible. We are available for dog walks before/after work and at lunchtime! Very safe surroundings
“Ronnie loved staying with Flor and her partner for his holidays. From meeting her you could tell she really knew what she was doing, asking questions about Ronnie to make sure she was the right match and that she knew what he needed. Ronnie felt instantly at ease with her and we got plenty of pictures and updates about all his walks and naps! Felt comfortable knowing he was being looked after so well. Ronnie looks forward to his next holiday with them!”
“Trina was amazing with my dog Taro. He got sick during the stay with vomiting and diarrhea, and she handled it calmly and responsibly, making sure he stayed hydrated and preparing plain chicken for him 🫶. Her child also spent a lot of time playing with Taro, which was perfect for my very hyper Labrador who needs constant attention and affection. I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family and I’ve really missed having a dog to be around! In lockdown, i lived with my sister who got her first dog so I have plenty of experience taking care of a dog and it’s daily needs, and often go back to dog sit whenever needed! I also helped to train him as a puppy 😌 I work from home so can be very attentive and hands on with your dogs! I am generally available any day of the week so feel free to ask whenever. I’d be happy to play with your dog at home or take them out for walks, as i’m trying to incorporate walking into my daily life style again! I live in the city centre right by the river so it’s the perfect location to walk along the canal, or even any of the near by parks in the city. I have plenty of green and grassy patches near me for toilet breaks. My flat is smoke free and clean/tidy, and will have space for a crate if needed.
“I couldn’t recommend Natalie highly enough! She was absolutely fantastic looking after my dog, Zeus, and I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout his stay. Natalie kept me regularly updated and sent lots of lovely pictures, which was really appreciated and meant I could see just how happy and settled Zeus was. Zeus was extremely well cared for and enjoyed plenty of attention and some lovely long walks. It was clear that Natalie genuinely cared about making sure he was happy, comfortable and well looked after. Natalie’s partner, Andy, was also fantastic with Zeus and clearly made a real effort to make him feel welcome and at home. It was lovely knowing that he was getting so much care and attention from them both. Zeus came home happy, relaxed and very well looked after. I would have absolutely no hesitation in asking Natalie and Andy to look after him again in the future. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of Zeus! 🐾❤️”
“Leo was amazing with Huck and Fin, they are usually not comfortable in new environments but settled right in and loved their time with Leo! Highly recommended and will definitely use again!”
“Benjamin was just fantastic with our boys Kobe and Bubba! From the beginning he was very prompt with communicating. He and Milo were also so kind with meeting us for a meet n greet, to ensure the boys would all get along. Benjamin was great at keeping us updated all throughout Kobe’s and Bubba’s stay. He seems to genuinely enjoy looking after our boys and we are so grateful we found him and will not hesitate to leave our boys with him on our next trip! Thanks Benjamin!”
