“Jane is a lovely person and took wonderful care of Stormy for a few nights while we were away. Due to the heatwave Stormy ended up with a poorly tummy but Jane looked after her so well and kept us updated, which gave us real peace of mind. Thank you so much Jane!”
“Ernie loved his sleepover at Roger and Barbara’s. They really do treat your dog like their own which gives you so much peace of mind. Ernie is definitely going back ?”
“I can't tell you how impressed we are with Ross's care for our 8 month old Lab puppy. He can be quite a handful and isn't the most obedient dog on the planet so I was a bit nervous about having him stay with anyone. However, Ross's calm reassurance instantly put me at ease. He seems to have bonded almost instantly with Archie and I could see from the photos he sent us that they were both having a great time. I've only been home 20mins and already rebooked Ross for a few days in August. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!”
“Karack and Justine were a god send. I was going to South Africa for 10 days and a week before, his sitters cancelled due to a family emergency. Not only were they enthusiastic about looking after Seamus for a relatively long time and at short notice, they were also very attentive when it came to his routine. I also got daily updates, giving me peace of mind. As for Seamus, he loved staying with them, getting plenty of walks and cuddle time. I would definitely book them again and cannot reccommend them more”
About: I have over 14 years worth of pet sitting experience, during which time have taken care of a large array of dogs, cats, horses, fish.. you name it. I absolutely love being trusted with other people’s fur babies especially since I don’t have any of my own. I work from home for most of the week and so can fit your fur babies needs into our days without a problem! Will easily be able to take them for walks at least once a day and fit any other requirements for them into my day without a problem. I have a fenced yard with a big open plan lounge and and kitchen perfectly suited to having all sizes of dogs in. The house is very secure so no chance of the dog/cat getting out. Further references can be provided without a problem.

“Togo had a great time with Abby and her lovely family. My mind was at ease with regular updates, and Abby went out of her way to understand his needs. He was so well cared for, I don’t think he wanted to go home! Thank you Abby, we couldn’t be happier and will be reaching out to you again in the future with no hesitation!”

I would definitely recommend Vany and I will book with Vany again when I need someone to look after Lilo. Thank you so much.”

Bee was so relaxed and happy when we returned home Will definitely book again in the future ☺️”

She sent us video updates of when she went to see him and we could tell he was getting more comfortable with her. Will be using her again in the future 😊 x”
“Tom was great with our cat, Bee. He sent lots of photos and gave us updates after each visit. Bee was really calm and happy when we arrived home after our trip which is rare when she’s been left alone for a few days so she must have really liked Tom! Will be booking again for future trips”

She kept me updated on their every move and even left my flat completely spotless. We really liked her and will definitely book her again! Thanks a million Sophie :)”
“Amy was wonderful with Lou, we came home to him very relaxed and a happy boy. We got frequent updates and knew he was in safe hands.

“Grace took fantastic care of our cat, Mango, while we were away! She gave us complete peace of mind during our first time leaving him. She looked after him so well, sticking to his dinner routine, setting up his breakfast feeder, and making sure to include plenty of playtime. We absolutely loved receiving her daily updates with photos, which we really looked forward to each day. She was reliable and communicative throughout. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I highly recommend her and we will absolutely book again!”

“My two young dogs had a fabulous time with Andrew! He treated them like his own, took them out and about with him, and gave them plenty of garden time too. We got lots of pics and updates, and he was super flexible with hours too. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Coco enjoyed her time with Ross and his dogs. She’s a nervous dog when meeting new people but Ross helped her settle quickly and provided regular updates throughout the day.”
“limo had such a great day. It was so thoughtful that Caroline has been constantly sending me messages and pictures to assure me that Limo is doing great. Thank you for taking such a good care of limo. Appreciated.”
“Elena was so lovely with Gimli! She took him for a nice walk and got him settled in straight away, I also really appreciate the photo updates, I will definitely take him back :)”
“Chong Yee was excellent. He stayed in constant communication, providing plenty of pictures and videos of our little dog having a great time with Zoro. He was gentle and friendly, kept our dog well entertained and even managed to get him to follow his commands! We would definitely book again.”
“Darwin was very happy after I picked him up from his first daycare with Mung, and he seemed very comfortable in her home. Mung had sent lots of photo updates during the day and Darwin had been given lots of attention and playtime. Mung has a very warm and calm approach and I am looking forward to having Darwin stay with her again in the future.”
“Xiangyi is an absolutely fantastic dog sitter. I get loads of photos, my dog is always walked and she absolutely spoils him rotten. I can't believe he actually wants to come home!”
“Simon is truly wonderful with dogs! Very professional, always on time and gave us great photo updates throughout the day. We had our 10 year old Chihuahua, Teddy, stay at their house in Teddington for doggy daycare and he had an amazing time! Teddy, being an older dog, would normally take a lot longer to warm up to new people and places - and is generally more suspicious of anyone he's not familiar with. So we were thrilled when we saw that he settled in really quickly with Simon and had two great days of walkies in parks, sitting on laps and sunbathing on their patio. ☀️ Teddy was so visibly excited after his daycare that he spent the first hour after coming doing zoomies and wagging his tail continuously, which again is so rare for Ted! Very happy to have found Simon and his partner, and will definitely book again.”
“Melissa is professional and fantastic with communication. She was incredibly accommodating to my husband and I with a last minute need for a dog sitter and even with a few even more last minute time changes on the day. We were truly appreciative of her help and we felt confident that our puppy Marshall was well-cared for. Thank you Melissa!”
“We were so pleased to find Dominika, who has now looked after our 20-month-old Chihuahua, Donnie, a couple of times for the day. Dominika is responsive, communicative, friendly, and clearly loves dogs. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving Donnie in her care. Each time, Donnie has come home happy, relaxed, well exercised, fed, and thoroughly looked after. It’s clear that Dominika spends quality time with him, making sure he gets plenty of attention, play, and care throughout the day. We really appreciate the updates and communication while he’s with her, which gives us great peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dominika to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”
“Ana has been great from start to finish. Her communication was excellent and I felt comfortable leaving my 4 month old pup with her for the day. I received updates and pictures during the day - and a happy dog on collection. I will definitely be using Ana again, and have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Thank you.”
About: I’ve had 8 German Shepherds. They’ve mostly been rescue dogs so have usually been older dogs, mostly with arthritis! I’ve had some as puppies too! I’m retired so am free a lot of the time. I have walkable access to a park and have a car so can go to anyone my local parks. I have a secure fenced garden and plenty of room for your dog indoors. I live opposite a park so walkies can be as frequent as needed.

Cocker spaniels and now a loveable golden retriever (they are back in Scotland, not in London, and miss having a dog about ☹️) I work from home full time with flexible hours, so have all the time to care for your pooch. Happy to go on multiple walks per day, or even a run if your dog enjoys that! Love taking dogs on adventures like Richmond Park or to the local coffee shop for a treat. Experience training puppies. Active and fit individual. Experience looking after several dogs at one time. I work from home full time and my job is flexible. Lots of time to look after friendly doggos. Happy to work around you and your dog’s needs. Your dog will have free range in my safe apartment. No garden area but close to Wimbledon common for a walk. Space for your dog’s bed if required.
“I am so grateful to Tara who is walking my dog Daisy (a Fox Terrier} regularly while I recover from a broken leg. She is reliable, punctual and flexible and Daisy loves her! I highly recommend Tara as a dog walker, she has a lovely gentle approach and Daisy is always so happy to see her!”
“Joana is fantastic. Could not recommend her enough to anyone! Very friendly and a very responsible dog walker. Always keeps communication open and sends cute videos and pics of Sid on his walk. Even has helped me a lot get used to the app (I’m not very tech savvy) which has been super helpful. Me and Sid are very happy !!”
“Maple had a wonderful first walk with Darren. I have one sleepy and happy pup post-walk so thank you! As soon Darren walked through the door, Maple took an instant liking and was immediately relaxed and wagging her tail - it was as though they met before and were old friends! She was a big fan of Darren and trotted off to be walked which was lovely to see! Great communications throughout too. Highly recommend!”

Ailsa: I adore dogs and have cared for dogs of various ages and sizes in London over the last few years throughout the week when working from home and overnight stays on weekends.

“Lexi has been super professional and reliable. She is always on time and accommodating when we’ve needed changes. Our Bruno loves her and enjoys his walks with her. She has learned quickly what Bruno needs for mental stimulation and he’s always ready for a nap after his walks. Lexi has been great at communicating with us and keeps us updated.”

About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.
About: My name is Sophie and I am a 34 year-old Mum of two young children and one 6 year old cat. I’ve lived and worked in the borough since 2015 after moving in with my (now) husband who was born and raised in Kingston. Before pet sitting, I worked in Design and Primary Education, specialising in SEND support. I moved into pet sitting to enable me to both spend more time at home with my boys and more time with animals, which is something I have always loved. I have been professionally pet sitting since December 2022, building upon 15+ years of caring for both my pets, the pets of friends and work colleagues. Since then, I have been lucky enough to work with 60+ families in the area and can cater for up to 6 visits a day (subject to booking availability). I am confident, caring and considerate and will always follow the lead of both you, the owner, and your beloved pets. I have helped to care for cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and would love to expand this to reptiles, rodents, fish, birds and beyond. I’m am an adaptable and receptive learner and would love the opportunity to care for your furry/scaled friends! As an owner of a disabled pet, I am undaunted by additional and adaptive needs and am happy to discuss individualised care. During my visits (of a minimum of 30 minutes), I will follow instruction and be lead by your pet (be they more playful, shy, nervous etc.) to ensure they have the most enjoyable time during your time away and you return to a healthy, happy pet. I update owners on each visit with photos and/or video updates to give you absolute peace of mind. I’m also happy to do odd jobs around the house (watering plants, sorting post, putting out bins etc.) so please don’t be afraid to ask. Please note my current hours of availability (inclusive of travel times): 07:00-09:00 Daily 09:30-11:30 (Monday- Friday, term time only due to childcare needs) 18:30-22:00 (Daily) * I am currently unable for long-term dog walking booking due to pre- existing bookings and childcare commitments throughout the year. My wonderful families often book several months in advance and my calendars are kept up to date weekly to reflect my availability * I live in the Coombe area (KT1) and am able to make visits within a 20 minute radius by bicycle (areas include Kingston-upon-Thames, Merton, Richmond-upon-Thames, Epsom and Ewell). I also have a car for emergency transportation. During my visit I will happily feed, groom, cuddle and play with your pet or, alternatively offer them a calm stroke or simply presence... whatever their personality would enjoy. I am attentive and will always do what is best for both you and your pets. I will clean bowls, top up water and food and clean litter trays as needed and keep you updated with photos and videos for your peace of mind. I am also happy to do jobs during my visit such as putting out bins on collection day and watering plants to make your life a little bit easier too. I am very happy to meet you and your pets beforehand if you would like me to be your sitter. I have a clear DBS (Criminal Record Check), which can be viewed upon request. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. It would be lovely to find out more about you and your furry friends.

About: Whilst fairly new to the dog sitting profession, I have fantastic experience raising our family dog Jasper from a puppy. He grew into an adorable large labradoodle, Jasper lived to 14years and I helped train him to behave fantastically with young children, a very calm and gentle demeanour. My first dog sitting experience was very recently after I lost my full time job. A good friend asked if I could look after their family dog in my flat whilst they are away on holiday for a week. My only other commitments in the week is the occasional saxophone gig, otherwise I am readily available to care walk and look after your canine family members. I live in a ground floor flat in Carshalton, very short walking distance from multiple parks, wilderness island (active shallow stream, clean spring water from wandle). I am improving my fitness and have been taking dogs on runs recently on lead. There is vinyl flooring in most of the property, but I put towels and rugs down to make walking easier for older / larger dogs. A pub near me even does doggy ice cream, so your dog can expect at treat once or twice during a holiday sit. I don’t have a driving licence so locality is important to consider and or drop off / pick up from owner will likely be required. I am fine to sit dogs of all sizes but a very large dog might struggle in a small flat. Please don’t hesitate to contact me (including call!) for more information and to get to know me better :). I am currently unemployed, not earning PAYE. I am a musician, meaning Friday and Saturdays nights / evenings are often busy. Some other music commitments may impact my schedule but am not away from flat for more than 3 hours. My flat is ground floor and secure. The block has cctv, and on a safe private road. The flat is surrounded by grass and trees of the shared garden. I have mats and rugs to place on my vinyl flooring and safe place for dog to eat, drink in the kitchen. I don’t enforce rules, if dog wants to lie in bed or on sofa, that’s no problem. Been known to visit the local pub which offers doggy ice cream - your dog can expect a summer treat when staying with me!
“Christian was amazing with Buster, sometimes Buster has anxiety but he was in extremely good hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was confident that Buster would be safe and happy with Christian”
