“Very pleased with Anida, she took excellent care of Dolly and kept me up to date all day! Dolly looked like she was having an absolute ball and was smiley and happy in all the photos! Would certainly use her services again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of her! ❤️”

“Thank you again for looking after Gus, we’ve loved seeing all the pictures and videos you’ve sent us of Gus making lots of new friends He is already snuggled up on the sofa completely worn out 👍🏼😁”

“Henrietta was absolutely amazing with Percy. She took such good care of him and the joy and love of dogs shines through from her. I felt so reassured leaving Percy with her - she clearly devotes a lot of time and love to the dogs she looks after. She kept in touch regularly with updates and was so thoughtful and clearly cared a lot about Percy’s welfare. Her communication was amazing from start to finish. Honestly I can’t thank her enough and would happily leave Percy with her again anytime.”


“Thanks so so much Jessica! You took such great care of Kenzo and I really appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. He came home relaxed and happy and I can tell he’s been well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️”

“Jeanett provided an exceptional dog-sitting experience for us, especially considering it was our first time leaving our furry friend. Her regular photo updates alleviated all our stress. Leo not only seemed happy but also genuinely comfortable in her care.”

“Thank you to Ronnie and his lovely family for taking wonderful care of our dog Dave. They loved him like he was their own and I couldn’t be happier with the care they gave him. Ronnie kept me informed with pictures and messages which I really appreciated. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. I will definitely be using their services again and again.”

“Andrea is a fabulous sitter 🤩 She took great care of Paco and gave him loads of attention and love. Great contact and many photo/video updates throughout the day. Paco didn’t even want to come back home, he just kept looking behind and pulling to go back 🤣 We will be definitely booking another request soon 🤗”

“Heather was an amazing support. I know Ivy was in safe hands and she came back tired which means she was busy, had lots of fun and made a fuss of. Heather was easy to communicate with which makes the whole progress so easy. Thank you!”


About: I’m an experienced dog owner who truly understands the routines and care dogs need. What makes my service unique is the combination of exceptional outdoor space (Wanstead Flats is right on my doorstep for long walks and play), flexible working arrangements (if desired, I can take your dog to my office for company throughout the day), and a well-socialised, friendly dog who loves meeting new friends. Your dog won’t just be looked after - they’ll be genuinely engaged and enriched. Whether it’s exploring the extensive open spaces of the Flats, enjoying a calm day at the office, or having a canine companion for socialisation, I can provide a proper home-from-home experience. I’m happy to maintain any specific routines, dietary requirements, or training approaches you’ve established. I treat every dog in my care as I treat my own: with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I work full time but have flexible arrangements. I typically work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I’m able to take dogs to the office with me on other days if they’d enjoy the different environment and socialisation. This means your dog will have company and attention throughout the day, every day, rather than being left alone. I’m available for boarding on weekends and evenings. Your dog will be treated as part of my household. I have one friendly, well-socialised dog who’s excellent with other dogs and provides gentle companionship. My home is secure and I’m experienced in managing different dogs’ needs, whether that’s separate feeding times, crate training, or giving space to dogs who prefer their own company. I’ll always follow your instructions on walking routines, including whether your dog should be on or off lead.
“I can’t recommend Lizzy enough as a dog sitter. She looked after our 9 year old English bulldog for a weekend and couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring. Great communication whilst making the booking, followed up with updates throughout. Would definitely book again. Fantastic”

“Thanks Weronika for looking after Hank last minute for an overnight stay! Weronika took great care of my cocker spaniel and provided updates throughout the stay! Would highly recommend”

“Clara and Jisoo were an amazing host for my 13 year old beagle. They were flexible with pick up and drop off which I was very grateful for. I could tell from the regular photo updates was feeling extremely pampered and spoilt - plenty of cuddles and walks. Thanks again Clara and Jisoo! Bella looks forward to another stay with you both, hopefully in the newr future :)”

“Daniel and Brian were amazing with my Rocket! I really appreciated the updates with photos and videos. I think Rocket enjoyed his vacation with them as he was happy to see them again. Will definitely consider them again. Thanks!”

“Dodger was very well looked after with Upansa, he was very happy to see her and came home calm and relaxed, she played with him and walked him and send lovely pics and updates throughout the day. I would happily recommend.”

“Fernando was fantastic with Gus from start to finish. I received regular updates throughout the week - photos, little notes about how he was settling in, and general check-ins that really put my mind at ease. His home setup is perfect for dogs. Gus had plenty of space to play and explore, and he absolutely loved spending time with Bailey (his new best mate). It was clear he was happy and stimulated the whole time. Fernando was professional and thoughtful. He asked all the right questions about Gus’s routine and temperament, offered a full tour of his home, and even suggested a trial visit beforehand - which I really appreciated, especially knowing Gus can be selective with other dogs. It’s rare to find someone so considerate about a dog’s individual needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Fernando again. Christian & Gus 🐾”

“The dogs came back happy and obviously very well cared for. Both Nicola and her partner were obvious very good to them and provided constant updates. We will definitely be using them again if we need.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier. I grew up around them on my grandparents’ farm.

I’ll also keep the space tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

“Michela did a wonderful job taking care of super shy Ginger. It was clear she was very patient with him, particularly when it came to cleaning his eyes. Really appreciated the daily updates, and her meticulous note taking! Would book again. ”

About: I absolutely adore cats. I love their personalities, their cuteness, their energy. I used to have six of my own (I know!) I "only" have three now :-) I have a demanding job as a lawyer. There is nothing I love more than coming home to my cats. They are part of my family and have given me so much love, often at times when I needed them the most. I will look after your cats as if they were my own.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Luna. From the start, her communication was fantastic — clear, reassuring, and full of genuine care. It was obvious she truly loves cats and understands that each one has their own personality. She really understood Luna’s nature, engaging her in play in a way that made her feel comfortable and happy. I loved receiving the updates and could tell Luna was relaxed and well looked after. She also went above and beyond with the practical details — keeping Luna’s dishes clean, changing her water filter, and making sure everything was spotless and fresh. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing Luna was in such kind and capable hands. I’ll absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Jing has been super helpful, super accomodating and took an excellent care of my cat. She followed the instructions and took extra steps to clean up the accidental mess made by the cat. Definitely recommend!”


“Martyn did a brilliant job in looking after our two kitties for a week. He visited 2x/day, plus giving medication to one of the cats. He spent time playing with them and giving a bit of grooming. Daily updates, photos and videos were sent from each visit. Everything was clean, tidy, and in good order on our return. Highly recommended. ”

“Lauren was a lovely cat sitter and was very tentative all of their needs. She gave us great updates all week and helped us feel more relaxed while we were away. She was able to set up extra precautions and facilities when the heat rules unexpectedly during the week.”


“Xin Yi is amazing! She looked after Lucifer so well, not just fed and cleaned but really spent time with him. I loved regular photo updates, some of the shots are priceless ;) i could really see my cat feeling comfortable and entertained. I felt like I can really relax on my holiday, thank you <3 I have already re-booked.”


“Thank you Rai for looking after our two cats - enjoyed receiving the regular updates & photos to see they were doing well, and good to have plenty of info about how they were getting on and knowing all was well when we got back. Grateful for your help!”


About: I’m pretty new to the cat sitting community but I LOVE cats, and all animals for that matter, and being a cat owner myself, I’ve got a lot of experience with tending to their needs. Also, I’ve done a lot of cat sitting for my sister and neighbours whenever they’re on holiday, where i’ve checked in on their cats, fed them, played with them and cleaned up after them.
“She was incredibly welcoming and kind, and I could tell right away that she genuinely loves cats. My cat felt comfortable and relaxed with her very quickly, which meant so much to me. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring hands. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I would happily trust her again in the future.”

“She took a great care of my baby Pepper! I was worried as Pepper is having diarrhea with a trace of blood, She kindly took Pepper in and gave the best care! She gave Pepper a bum wipe and provided me a detailed explanation on how his poop was like, which was a great help, and even set the house for Pepper when she dropped Pepper at my flat! Thanks to her Pepper had a fan on and plenty of water while waiting for me to come back. Pepper looked so happy and energetic when I got home, I can only assume that he had the best day at her place❣️”

“Marcela was great with Grayson! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos. He had a great time and it was lovely to see how happy and comfortable he was with her. I felt completely reassured knowing he was being well looked after. I would definitely recommend Marcela and would happily use her again”

“I am very pleased with the service Giulia & her partner provided. We have found it so hard to find people who we trust and are nearby to leave teddy with. You guys have such a warm lovely vibe and teddy had a lovely day! He was knocked out when he got home wagging his tail in his sleep he was probably dreaming about his day 🥹 I was able to relax fully and really appreciated the updates!”

About: USE code RIANNB76979 for £30 off your first booking!🥳 I have taken care of many breeds of dogs for 10 years including French bulldogs, pugs, Maltese, King Charles spaniel, and Cavapoo to name some. I am aware of their different needs and personalities and have thoroughly enjoyed caring for all of them from puppy to old age! I have some freedom with my time at the moment to give catered attention and care to pets through the day. I have been sitting for 2 dogs on a regular basis for the last 3 years, who can attest to my reliability. I also have a lot of experience with dogs who are anxious, and need more tailored care than others. I keep owners up to date and understand the need to feel comfortable and communicated with when away from your pets. Looking for consistent sitting weekly. I currently work hybrid and have some freedom and flexibility to go for walks, if booked in advance and can provide some last minute help on days that I am not in the office. Ideally looking for regular sitting weekly! I live in a private building that is pet owner friendly with lots of fellow dogs going for walks in the local park and common. Building is secure and protected by fob-only access. My flat is spacious enough and has outside secured balcony space for pets to roam or get fresh air. I live in a residential area with a large park to take nice walks near. I have a selection of some dog toys that I keep incase my friends pets visit and create a great space for them!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was 5 and cats since I was 18. Caring for animals is a lifelong passion, and I believe they truly transform a house into a home. My experience includes providing basic medical treatments and senior care, having looked after dogs with cancer, kidney disease, and other conditions. Charlote, my third rescue Golden Retriever, is calm, well-trained, and doesn’t bark. She’s also comfortable around other animals, including cats. I’d expect visiting dogs to have similar calm behavior to ensure everyone feels at ease. I create a quiet, cozy environment tailored to each dog’s needs, ensuring they feel safe and cared for. If your dog would enjoy a stress-free space with plenty of care, companionship, and opportunities to relax or play, this is the ideal spot! I work from home, so I'll be always around to provide care and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I’ve already been helping care for the pets of friends and family. I kindly ask for at least one week’s notice to ensure I can accommodate your pet without any scheduling conflicts, as I prefer not to leave the house for more than four hours when a guest dog is staying with us. I have a small fenced garden where pets can safely explore, but I also walk Charlote daily as she enjoys playing with the ball and running in the woods. I ensure she’s always on an all-year flea treatment, and I kindly ask that any dog visiting my home has the same level of care. In my home, dogs are welcome to relax on the sofa or sleep in my room, but not on the bed. If needed, I can provide separate spaces for pets and have a crate available upon request. However, I don’t use crates unless specifically instructed by the owner, as I believe pets are more comfortable without them. The only time Charlote has been in a crate was during her flight from Brazil to the UK.
About: I’ve taken care of different breeds of dogs since i was 10 and my neighbours have relied on me for walking, changing the dogs water and playing with them while they have been on holiday. I’m currently not working and have all the time in the world to look after your beautiful pets. Also to give them as much attention as they need I have an animal care qualification so can meet all your animals dietary requirements and assist on any guidance if you are struggling on what food suits your animals best.

“Stuart is highly communicative and takes lots of photos/videos; something I really appreciate when i’m at work and need to leave her. He takes care to consider her individual needs and preferences (right down to frozen vs regular yogurt as a snack!) and I feel happy leaving her with him.”

About: I think taking care of pets are a pretty serious job, cause they are part of someones family and dogs as cats have to be treated with love and care to make your job well. And also it's such a fun activity to do walk with pets. I'm available at the moment to work part time and temporarily these months. All weekdays and if you want weekends as well until 6pm. Preferably not every day, maybe on Tuesday I couldn't because of my studies, but I would love to take care of your pets when you need it. I could walk your dog or care for your cat at home if that is more convenient for the owner, depending on how would it be the circumstances

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger, always had family dogs, and have qualifications in animal care and science. I have also volunteered at ranged charities including dogs trust and dog hydrotherapy centres in my spare time and genuinely have a passion for canine care, and enjoy spending time with dogs.

Having flexibility allows me to focus on the dogs too, I can play with them whenever they need some attention or provide enrichment and care when they need it. I have access to a car and so can travel to fun parks too or other places quick if needed. My home and supplies are my dogs so anything is for offer: plenty of toys, treats, furniture, a bath or grooming if they need it. I have a flat but lots of green areas and parks around me which I take my own toy poodle out to many times a day. I ensure dogs that need care whilst their owner is on holiday, away for work or otherwise, are able to get the care and daily enrichment they need.

The house has a large living room and ground floor, including a large fenced grass garden for dogs to play or relax. I also give dogs the option of fresh air and play at daycare bookings if the owner permits.
About: I've always loved being around pets, and I spent my teen years with my lovely do, Mya. I have been dogsitting in London since moving here 6 years ago, and love meeting all the different doggies around. I am a freelance translator, so I set my own timings most of the time, making it easy to organise a flexible schedule for the day. I am not able to host pets in my house, but I am more than happy to visit and/or stay at the pet's residence. I am a very clean a respectful person, especially in spaces that are not mine. I understand the importance for some pets to stay in their safe environment.

“Ainhoa walked out dog Zoe on an evening when we went to a show in central London. She was communicative and sent several updates while feeding and walking Zoe. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pet”

About: I’ve loved dogs all my life, spending plenty of time around the pups of friends and family. Two years ago, I met my true dogmate, Matlock, a French Bulldog who completely changed my world. Since then, we’ve been side by side almost every moment of the day (working from home means she’s basically my boss!). Together with her Labrador buddy, they’ve trained me far better than I could ever train them. Thanks to them, I’ve learned to understand a dog’s needs, moods, and quirks. I’ll bring that same unconditional love and care to your furry friend. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day and my flat has aircon that can keep your baby comfortable all day. I already have a neutered French Bulldog, so I’m very used to balancing daily walks, playtime, and rest. Caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday routine, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and included. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a nice air con. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets feel right at home. Just a short 3-minute walk away, there’s a beautiful park perfect for walks, play, and fresh air. Your dog will be cared for in a safe and loving environment, as if they were part of my own family.
About: I've been dogsitting friends' pets until I got my own boundle of joy last November, Milo.i make sure Milo has plenty of playtime and exercise, whether it's running or going for long walks. He loves company and enjoys interacting with other dogs and I'm confident he will be a great playmate fir your dog. I work from home 2 days a week. I have my own dog, Milo, and I'm happy to look after other dogs. My schedule is flexible. I have a playful 1 year-old dog, and we live next to a park where we go for walks at least 3 times a day. He loves being outdoors and staying active so he gets plenty of exercise and playtime during the day. He loves his naps too and I make sure there is a balance between active relaxing time.
“Friendly and communicative throughout. Layla was comfortable with him and everything went smoothly overall. As Layla can sometimes be a little stubborn when meeting new walkers, a bit more confidence and experience handling hesitant dogs would be beneficial, but he was patient and keen to make sure she was comfortable. Thank you for looking after her.”

About: I love seeing cats happy which is a very rewarding experience. Great patience with getting them to familiarise with strangers like myself in the beginning. I'm working full-time on a hybrid basis (Mon-Fri) - twice a week at the office which is quite close with public transport. So flexible and willing to adjust times :). For the time being, I'm not hosting cats. Based on my experience from my own cat, lots of playing, brushing, cleaning litter and their food bowls regularly, keeping them close when working or cooking. However, as we know, they need their freedom to roam in the house and a pulled curtain to watch birds!

“Rianne went out of her way to accommodate my request and Boodle and I are very grateful for it too!! Will certainly be booking Rianne again and would recommend to others. Thank you Rianne!!”

About: Will care for and love your dog like my own. Have grown up with dogs and cats in the family. Whilst I prepare for a dog of my own, I enjoy walking, training and playing with friends dogs and would love to get to know your dog. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so happy to have a regular canine companion on those days. I may be available on some Tuesdays but couldn’t commit to every Tuesday. I can be available on weekends, day or evening. I live in a flat on the 5th floor with a balcony. Your dog would only be allowed on the balcony under full supervision. Your dog is welcome on my sofa. There is a large park less than a 10 minute walk away. I don’t have any pets so your dog will have my full attention.

“Henrietta was absolutely amazing with Percy. She took such good care of him and the joy and love of dogs shines through from her. I felt so reassured leaving Percy with her - she clearly devotes a lot of time and love to the dogs she looks after. She kept in touch regularly with updates and was so thoughtful and clearly cared a lot about Percy’s welfare. Her communication was amazing from start to finish. Honestly I can’t thank her enough and would happily leave Percy with her again anytime.”

“I can’t recommend Lizzy enough as a dog sitter. She looked after our 9 year old English bulldog for a weekend and couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring. Great communication whilst making the booking, followed up with updates throughout. Would definitely book again. Fantastic”

“Thanks Weronika for looking after Hank last minute for an overnight stay! Weronika took great care of my cocker spaniel and provided updates throughout the stay! Would highly recommend”

“Clara and Jisoo were an amazing host for my 13 year old beagle. They were flexible with pick up and drop off which I was very grateful for. I could tell from the regular photo updates was feeling extremely pampered and spoilt - plenty of cuddles and walks. Thanks again Clara and Jisoo! Bella looks forward to another stay with you both, hopefully in the newr future :)”


“Libor is a true blessing, my girl cat is so clingy and extremely funny when it comes to new people. However with libor maybe he’s the cat whisperer or something. Lula loved him so much I think she’s sad to be back with me lol. I’ll so happy she now has a new uncle :) I will be using him everytime. He sent in pictures & videos daily. He’s truly an amazing soul. THANK YOU!! <3”

“Excellent sitter, great communication. Thomas came to meet our dog before the first booking, he offered pick up and drop off, sent regular updates and looked after him really well. Highly recommended.”

“I can’t recommend Erika and her family enough. Bruce is a very shy reserved dog and doesn’t like strangers, I was so nervous about leaving him. I had nothing to worry about. Erika spoilt his rotten, treated him as one of the family. I was sent photos and videos every day, and he looked so happy in every picture. I don’t think he actually wanted to come home haha. I will certainly be using Erika again. Highly recommend to everyone.”
“Julija is such a kind, amazing pet sitter!! This is the second time she sits Fidel and she was as always so attentive and caring. I got frequent updates and she sent amazing photos! Thank you so much for caring so well for him.”

“Maria had a lovely time with Crumpet and came back super happy! Maria sent us lots of updates and photos which was great and was really quick to respond to us. We will book again!”

“Styx had a fantastic time with Olivia and her partner (and little Babka!). I got plenty of updates about what she was up to, and am really confident that my care instructions were followed and that Styx had a safe, comfortable and fun time during her week away. Highly recommended and I'd definitely ask Olivia again next time I need dogsitting.”


About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 15, as I helped neighbors and family friends look after them while they went on holidays. I grow up with cats and dogs I love teach new tricks, long walks I currently work 3 hours a day, but I have enough time during the day to play with them, go for walks, and I am available for boarding every day, including weekends. I have a fenced garden and an adorable dog who is very friendly and playful, but if it bothers you, I can separate them so they're not in the same space, since my house is big and has several rooms.
“Xiaoyi took great care of our dog Frankie over a long weekend. She sent regular photos and updates, and was very attentive throughout. Excellent service — we’ll definitely be back!”

“Mia & Yannis were absolutely amazing with Harvey and treated him like their own dog, they are hands down the best sitters we’ve left Harvey with and this review won’t even do them enough justice. They took care of him during one of the worst heatwaves in the UK and were constantly updating us with photos, ones on which you could see him just having the best time, was completely relaxed and as comfortable as he was home (sleeping on their laps, on their bed and looking so happy). He ate a lot which doesn’t happen as often as he can be taken over by some anxiety and not eat his normal amount. They showered him with cuddles and even took him out for a pup cup. Honestly, they made this experience absolutely stress free and quite the opposite - we were so happy he was with them and we will definitely be leaving Harvey with them again. Thank you!!”

“Bobby was absolutely incredible! The best dog sitter we've ever had. Lenny was so happy the whole time and we got loads of pics of him playing with the ball and having big sleeps”
