“Nataliya clearly loves dogs! It was our first time leaving our puppy with her, and he got back to us so happy. She sends regular photos and videos, which is so lovely and reassuring. Would recommend to friends & family 100%!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Saya received over the 4 days. Dominika was amazing from the start—great communication and very friendly, which made me feel completely at ease. Saya was clearly very well looked after, happy, and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which showed she was enjoying herself and in safe hands. It’s obvious that Dominika genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be using her again in the future. Thank you so much, Dominika, for taking such good care of Saya!”
“If you need to leave your canine pal with a sitter who knows and understands dogs, then look no further than Andrew. Hector, my Flat Coat Retriever is a 40 Kilo loveable chap, buit can be a bit of a handful. When I got him back home he was pleasantly exhausted both mentally and physically, which suggests that he was entertained during his stay with Andrew and was not simply ignored. Thanks Andrew.”
“Karyna and Tom were absolutely amazing with Sirius! ☺️ From day one, they kept me updated with messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. It was clear he felt happy, safe and loved, he settled in so quickly and even became their little shadow! 🐶 I couldn’t recommend them more and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much! 💛”
“Lucy was soo amazing with Harrie and has been one of the best dog carers we have left Harrie with. We met Lucy and her family beforehand which put us at ease. Harrie settled in so well with the kids and the family. I don't think she wanted to come home. Communication was excellent with frequent updates and pictures. Harrie will be back.”
“Trish was such a fantastic dog sitter. Our dog Patsy is often reluctant to go with strangers but she immediately warmed to Trish. She was so patient with her and she loved her stay. Trish sent constant updates and was flexible around our needs. We will definitely use her again when we next go on holiday and I highly recommend her as we immediately felt reassured that our dog was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Haru stayed with Isabella for several nights whilst we were away on holiday, he settled well and enjoyed his stay! He was very excited when we dropped him off and came home a very happy tired pup. Really appreciate Nick stepping in to look after Haru on Isabella’s office days. Will not hesitate to have Haru stay with them again!”
“Millie can be a little nervous in new environments, so we knew this stay might take her a bit of time to settle. It did come with a few challenges, but Ornela handled everything with great care, patience, and understanding. Communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the regular updates and the effort made to keep Millie comfortable and supported. We’re very grateful for the care and attention given — thank you again for looking after her so well. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ornela to anyone — she’s a very caring and understanding person.”
“Hannah gave us such piece of mind when we went on our first holiday away from our puppy. She made Dotty feel at home and gave us regularly updates. We came home to a very happy and well looked after pup! We would happily use Hannah again.”
About: Home-based pet sitter with garden & full-time care🙌🏼🐶🐱🌸☀️ Hi, this is Yi. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone new with your beloved pet for the first time. That's why I offer a loving, calm home where your pet will receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day, as I work from home full-time. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and my own pets are happy, well cared for and used to a relaxed home environment. I understand how to make pets feel safe, comfortable and settled. With multiple rooms and a secure gated garden, there is plenty of space for pets to explore or rest. Pets are welcome on the sofa and treated like part of the family. To ensure a peaceful environment, I prefer to care for well-behaved, neutered pets with a stable temperament. Let me know if your pet needs a homestay! I work from home full-time, so your pet will have company and supervision throughout the day. My day starts with a calm routine, and pets are given attention and a small treat in the morning to help them settle comfortably. I then let dogs out into the garden for fresh air and toilet breaks. Around late morning, I provide their first meal and always ensure fresh water is available. During the day, pets are free to relax, explore the home, and stay close to me while I work. In the afternoon (around 5pm), I take dogs out for a walk, followed by their second meal in the evening. Before bedtime, I check that all pets are comfortable, settled, and have access to food and water. At weekends, I can take dogs out for longer walks, park visits, or relaxed outings depending on their needs. I provide a safe, calm and structured home environment. I have multiple rooms and can separate pets if needed, allowing them to adjust comfortably at their own pace. There is a secure gated garden for outdoor time, and pets have plenty of space indoors to relax or play. They are welcome on the sofa and treated as part of the home. I have experience with different personalities, including more selective eaters, and I am happy to follow your pet’s usual feeding routine or preferences. For the comfort and safety of all animals, I prefer to care for small to medium-sized pets with stable temperaments. This helps ensure a relaxed and positive environment for everyone.
“Thank you so much Leigh for looking after Chip. Leigh sent us photos and updates regularly which was really reassuring. Chip looked very well looked after and happy. He loves his walks and runs and got plenty of those. Thanks again Leigh. We will trust you again with our precious Chip ☺️”
“Ganna took great care of our girl for two weeks and she came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Ganna and would definitely feel confident leaving our dog with her again.”
“Gabriela was incredibly responsive right from my very first message. We left our 10-year-old dachshund with her for a week, and she kept us updated daily with photos and videos where our dog looked completely happy and calm. Our dachshund is normally very attached to me and hesitates to leave the house with others, but Gabriela managed to build trust with her incredibly quickly. She also seamlessly followed her daily routine, bedtime schedule, and vitamin regimen. We are so pleased with the care she provided and will definitely contact her again the next time we go away!”
“Maddie loved staying with Jessica (and Kent), who treated her wonderfully. Jessica kept us well informed about how Maddie was getting on, with lots of lovely photos, and showed a real interest in Maddie's wellbeing (Maddie felt a bit poorly on one occasion). As a Senior dog Maddie appreciated being carried up stairs, and being allowed to sleep wherever she wanted. Maddie would love to come back to Jessica when we are next away.”
“Eve is absolutely amazing seater! She was flexible and we had great communication, with lots of updates! Jaffa enjoyed staying with her, and we will definitely be happy to leave him with Eve again!”
“This was such a last-minute request (literally 15 minutes!), but James still accommodated us so we could enjoy the nearby theme park. He was an absolute lifesaver that day! Really kind, approachable, and went above and beyond. 100% recommend – amazing service! Thank you for looking after our Loki ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Anna and her family are lovely. Very considerate. I got regular updates about Ripley which is really nice as I appreciate knowing that he is happy. Thank you. I will definitely book again”

I felt so comfortable leaving her to care for Pearl in my absence and I’m so grateful to her! I’ve already rebooked and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!!”
“Ellie is an amazing and trustworthy pet sitter. She looked after our 2 kittens while we were away and she was genuinely loving and caring for them.

“Sil was fantastic with our cat Rupert, who can be tricky to win over with new people. She took the time to build trust with him and clearly has a great way with cats. During the recent hot weather she made sure he was comfortable and well looked after throughout. We loved getting regular updates and photos, it gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely book Sil again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other cat owners.”

“Samantha and her daughter did an excellent job looking after our cat! Communication was quick and clear, received daily updates and pictures and they even went an extra mile to wait for us to come back first before dropping off the keys in case of a delayed flight. Thank you both again! Definitely recommend!”
“Natali is a fantastic cat sitter. I felt so relaxed being away, with the care she gave my cats! She did all the basics plus played with them so they didn’t get bored. I got so many videos and photos and my cats clearly loved her.”
About: Hi! I am Shania. I have a funny confession to make. When I was a kid, the movie Cats & Dogs completely convinced me that cats were sneaky secret agents! It was not until I spent time with my relatives' incredibly sweet cat that I realised the truth: they are just wonderful, loving companions who occasionally enjoy judging us from a high shelf. Since that plot twist in my life, I have gained practical experience caring for my family's and my partner's cats. I understand that cats feel safest in their own territory, which is exactly why I exclusively offer drop-in visits to your home. You can count on me to handle all the essentials. I will make sure meals are served on time, the litter box is kept spotless, and their water is always fresh. I also know that cats are the true bosses of the house. Whether your feline friend wants interactive playtime with a toy or just a quiet, respectful human presence nearby, I will always let them set the boundaries. Plus, you will get my signature casual photo updates! I love snapping spontaneous pictures of their funny sleeping positions or sudden bursts of energy. You will always know your cat is safe, fed, and relaxed in their own kingdom while you are away. I would love to pop by for a quick chat to meet you and your wonderful cat!
“We couldn’t be happier with the care David provided for our cat! He handled twice-daily visits while we were away, and it was so clear that our cat felt comfortable and safe with him. We came home to a very happy, relaxed cat who barely seemed to notice we were gone. David is reliable, professional, and clearly a true cat lover. Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of my cat Izzy from 2 months old. I have learnt to understand cats, especially as Izzy doesn’t really like people, and have provided her with play time, ensuring she has eaten. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, and helped multiple cats feel calm and stay healthy after being abandoned. The cats in the shelter were of all ages
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 11. I often house sit for friends when they go on holiday and need their cats looked after! Cats absolutely love me as I stroke them 24/7 ensuring they never feel lonely. I can also recognise when cats need their space and want to be left alone. I’ve raised my own cat from a little kitten so I know how to take care of even the youngest of cats.

“Gwen stayed at Andrew’s once a year ago. I haven’t seen her as happy and relaxed as when she re-entered the house and saw Andrew and his family. It was a last minute booking for our dog Gwen. She had knee surgery 5 weeks ago and Andrew and his family took extra care with her and wanted to make sure they knew what to do with her. Andrew communicated a lot and shared lovely photos”
“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!”

“To Maria , Brian & Ollie for the third time. Ebs had a great day and came back happy and tired. Ollie should get extra treatos for alllll the playing. Maria couldn’t be nicer and more helpful. She really helped me out today being so flexible when my plans were a bit of a moveable feast. Would really recommend them. Thanks guys!”
“Paulo was fantastic, thank you so much Paulo and Maria! This was our first time having our puppy looked after and he clearly had such a great time. We really appreciated the photos and updates during the day, and making the time to meet us beforehand so he had a familiar face on the day (and to play with Hebbe!). We were a bit nervous beforehand as it was his first day away from us, but we were fully at ease with him in the care of Paulo. Will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Evie took care of our little corgi puppy Eevee for the day and we couldn’t have been more pleased.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s playful puppies who need consistency and training, or sweet senior pets who require a little extra patience and attention, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs.

“I would give Leena 10 stars if I could. We needed to leave the dogs while we went to an event at my daughter's uni. We rarely leave the girls and were very nervous. When we arrived at Leena's she immediately put us at ease - she had calming music playing in readiness. Leena and her son were brilliant with the girls and there was no crying when we left. When we went to pick the girls up they were very happy. I can't recommend Leena highly enough and would have no problem leaving the girls with her again.”
“Our Labrador Archie had the best time and came back nice and tired. Crys was very communicative and was very confident with the dogs. Will happily book again in the future and would recommend for anyone.”
“Though Bella stayed for just a few hours , she was happy and had a good time. Jessica and Gareth were really helpful by responding to messages immediately. Also we were running late and they were kind enough to come out to take Bella. Bella enjoyed her time at their balcony and was relaxed. We will definitely book here again when we need to keep Bella in London.”

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.”
“I would highly recommend John, he was quick to respond and very accommodating. John is a very calm and nice guy.

Thanks again John.”
About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains.

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.

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: I had a chocolate Labrador, called Rolo, for 15 years. My family and I cared for him since birth, up until his unfortunate death. As he grew older, we grew accustom to more hands on care and feeding him his medication discretely. We would place the medicine inside spoonfuls of peanut butter as he wouldn't eat them on their own. Dogs are by far my favourite animal. I love all breeds at all ages. I will be as free as I can for your pet and understand that caring for them is a full-time job. I have dog-sat many of my family friends' pets, including; Shitzus, Akitas, Golden Retrievers, Huskies and Coton de Tulear's. I adore dogs and will ensure the best care for them. I’m currently taking a break from 9-5 work so can fit my schedule around your pets needs. Happy to take dogs on multiple walks daily and for house visits and sitting I can fit pets outdoor routine around what your usual one! I’ve got experience with crated animals, senior animals and animals with complex care requirements. I am unable to host as I live with my friends and 2 dogs + 2 cats so would be hectic but I can do house visits. If your dogs are good with other dogs, I can walk them with my 2!

“Nataliya clearly loves dogs! It was our first time leaving our puppy with her, and he got back to us so happy. She sends regular photos and videos, which is so lovely and reassuring. Would recommend to friends & family 100%!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Saya received over the 4 days. Dominika was amazing from the start—great communication and very friendly, which made me feel completely at ease. Saya was clearly very well looked after, happy, and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which showed she was enjoying herself and in safe hands. It’s obvious that Dominika genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be using her again in the future. Thank you so much, Dominika, for taking such good care of Saya!”
“Karyna and Tom were absolutely amazing with Sirius! ☺️ From day one, they kept me updated with messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. It was clear he felt happy, safe and loved, he settled in so quickly and even became their little shadow! 🐶 I couldn’t recommend them more and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much! 💛”
“Lucy was soo amazing with Harrie and has been one of the best dog carers we have left Harrie with. We met Lucy and her family beforehand which put us at ease. Harrie settled in so well with the kids and the family. I don't think she wanted to come home. Communication was excellent with frequent updates and pictures. Harrie will be back.”
“Trish was such a fantastic dog sitter. Our dog Patsy is often reluctant to go with strangers but she immediately warmed to Trish. She was so patient with her and she loved her stay. Trish sent constant updates and was flexible around our needs. We will definitely use her again when we next go on holiday and I highly recommend her as we immediately felt reassured that our dog was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Ganna took great care of our girl for two weeks and she came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Ganna and would definitely feel confident leaving our dog with her again.”
“Eve is absolutely amazing seater! She was flexible and we had great communication, with lots of updates! Jaffa enjoyed staying with her, and we will definitely be happy to leave him with Eve again!”
“Lauren watched Teddy for us for 10 days recently, and I had a great experience with her from the first meeting until she dropped him off. While Teddy was with her, Lauren kept us totally updated and even took him on a beach vacation. I saw pictures and videos of Teddy looking super happy, and that really put my mind at ease. I'd definitely trust Lauren with Teddy again. Thanks, Lauren.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog, Shark, received. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love and attention she gives to the pets she looks after. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Shark instantly connected with her and came back happy, relaxed, and full of energy. It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but she went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional petsitter”
“Karen looked after our dog Eddie for almost a Week. Great communication from prior to confirmation of the booking and also when she was looking after him. He got lots of attention from Karen and her Family and was settled throughout the stay. Would definitely leave Eddie with Karen and her Family again.”
“We couldn’t be happier leaving Milo with Natasha and George. This is the second time Milo has stayed over night for a few nights and they have really looked after him. We got lots of updates and he was very happy there, we can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Haru had another great stay with Clarissa and Jun, he was very excited to see them again when we dropped him off. Clarissa kept me updated with photos and videos. I’m sure he looks forward to his next play date/sleepover!”
“Spyroula was wonderful with Alby. He warmed to her straight away, which is always the best sign, and her updates throughout the boarding were consistent and reassuring. What stood out most was how reliable and trustworthy she is – I left feeling completely at ease, and came to pick up a happy, settled dog. Highly recommend.”
“Melissa and her husband did an amazing job looking after Blossom whilst we were away. It meant so much to us because we could really enjoy our holiday knowing that Blossom was in safe hands with people who love and understand dogs so well. We got plenty of updates and photos, and the communication was excellent. Blossom came back happy, healthy and full of new adventures! We will definitely be using Melissa again next time we go away 😊”

“Fantastic stay for Iggy at Karina’s house along with Truffle (Iggys new best friend). Karina shared photos during their walk. Will certainly recommend Karinas’ sevices to anyone in need of help.”
