“Lucy was great! She took care of our pup for a long weekend and Winnie went on so many walks to all different parks. Lucy helpfully kept Winnie on her regular schedule and provided many updates so we knew she was in safe hands :)”
“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dog Hermes while we were away on holiday. Angela was kind, reliable, and made sure Hermes got his medication every single day, which gave us great peace of mind. He looked happy and well when we came back, and it was clear he had been in loving hands. Angela has such a warm and caring energy — we’re truly grateful for the attention she gave him, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Hands down the best dog sitters/ boarders I have ever booked for my dog Marple- and I have booked with many! Marple is an extremely high energy parson Russell and I was so impressed with how amazing and attentive Brian was in sending me lots of updates and photos and I was not anxious at all. I will definitely book him again. Marple was so well cared for and happy when she was dropped back and Brian had also spotted a potential injury that I had overlooked. I am so grateful and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“We had a great experience with Huen! She was super friendly, attentive, and loving with our dog. She kept us updated regularly, and it was clear they formed a great bond—our dog was actually a little sad when she dropped him off! Highly recommended!”
“Emily was great with Monty. My dog was very happy when we picked him up. Emily was super responsive and had great communication. We received updates and photos. Emily was available on short notice and we really appreciated her kindness to us and Monty. Thank you again for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Francesca was brilliant with Ralph! She kept us updated with lovely messages and adorable photos, which made leaving him so much easier. Her communication was spot on - quick replies and thoughtful updates that really showed how much she cares. Ralph had the best time with her, and we felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful with my poodle, Larry. She was so kind, caring, and gentle with him, treating him as if he were her own. She gave him so much attention and love, and I really felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Vanessa kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which was so reassuring. Larry was clearly very happy and well looked after I couldn’t recommend Vanessa highly enough! Very trustworthy and goes out of her way to help in every way. Thanks again”
“Adam was absolutely sensational. He is truly such a dog lover and from our meet and greet I could tell my two cockapoos would be in the best hands. During their stay with Adam, one of my dogs ended up with a grass seed in her ear and he recognised it so quickly and acted so quickly to get her to the vet that meant the vet didn’t have to sedate her to get it out - his attention to their wellbeing is next level. I couldn’t possibly recommend a better person to look after my pups. Thanks so much Adam, really looking forward to you looking after Cooper and Suzette again!”
“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! ❤️❤️”
“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”
“Olivia and Lauren accepted our very last minute request to look after Coco. They were so lovely and Coco seemed to have had such a great time. It made us feel comfortable to know that he was well looked after by these dog lovers.”
About: I love dogs of all sizes and personalities! Their quirky individual characters are a constant source of joy, and I find nurturing each dog’s confidence and natural abilities incredibly rewarding. I’ve had two dogs of my own, including my current senior dog, who I brought up from a puppy so I understand the importance of patience, consistency and adapting care to suit each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m also happy to include some light training during walks and time spent with your pup, time permitting, if it’s something they would benefit from. Most of my experience is with active dogs, including spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, a cockapoo and a whippet but my own dog is now living a more chilled lifestyle in her senior years and I’m happy to look after dogs who enjoy a slower pace of life! 😊 I’m very open to all breeds and love getting to know what makes each dog special. 🥰 I currently devote most of my time to pet care, while volunteering for a couple of charities. I’d be happy to take care of your pets in my own home where they’ll be treated like family members (i.e. with loving care! 😉) I’m based near London Fields, and happy to walk your dogs or drop in to check on them on a flexible basis. I'm also happy to discuss day care or boarding in your home or mine, on an individual basis once I have gotten to know dogs and their owners better - and vice versa. I have a back garden and pets have a run of my flat if they are staying over.
“Elizaveta took care my dog like she does for her own, she kept me updated on a daily basis with pics and videos. She followed instructions for my dog to the letter with no issues.”
“Darren was a great help with my dog, Ed. He was attentive to Ed’s needs and routine and made sure he was well looked after. Darren sent photo updates and his corgi, Angie, shared the space with Ed (which is appreciated when he’s such a big dog!). Would highly recommend Darren as a sitter!”
“My experience with Jennifer was great! She was very responsive, and kept sending regular updates photos/videos of how my dog was doing while I was away. Most importantly Moby (dog) loved staying with her and her family. I would also love to mention how kind Jennifer was to accept a last minute request to look after my dog, when I had an urgent need to leave London for a day. Will definitely leave Moby with Jennifer again!”
“Thank you so much for everything you do Fernando! Meeting you and your dogs was very professional, I loved our communication throughout Syd stays, your house is great and we will love to ask for your services for our next time! The review from Syd is 10/10!!”
“Breda was exceptional! She was always quick to respond, incredibly friendly, and genuinely helpful. Even when we had some last-minute changes related to our flight, she remained flexible and accommodating. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with pictures and gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was clearly in very good hands. We would absolutely love to work with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Oliver was a fantastic sitter for Bo. Very attentive and could tell when I picked him up he had a great time. Would highly recommend. Bo stayed for a few days whilst I was in Scotland and I felt very comfortable knowing he was being well looked after after whilst away. Will definitely book again. Thanks Oliver ❤️”

“Jessica was amazing,super gentle and the best company for Bibi. Incredibly reliable, followed all feeding instructions perfectly, and sent me the best photo updates every day. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless house. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Top cat sitter. This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous- never left our Bengal to a cat sitter. We didn't have to worry one little bit. Dennis was the best cat sitter we could have wished for. Attentive, great communication, every day two update pics - some even artsy (lol). Would highly recommend Dennis to any cat owner. Thank you.”
“Sarah was fab! Looked after our kitty very well who looked very relaxed and happy when we got home. Easy to chat with whoever were away and managed to work out how to recharge the cat collar too. Thankyou Sarah!”
“Lucia was fantastic—responsive, reliable, and took excellent care of Plato! I especially appreciated her detailed updates and feedback, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend her services highly enough.”
“Lyn was absolutely fantastic, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future. She was incredibly friendly and caring - her daily video updates were most helpful, and was very attentive to my cat's needs.”
“So happy that the wonderful Ivana was available to look after our cat Minou. She was so kind and attentive and clearly really cared about looking after Minou as if she were her own. I felt completely reassured that my cat was in safe hands. Ivana took time to play with Minou and give her lots of cuddles and sent us lots of pictures to reassure me that all was well at home while we were away. Will definitely be booking Ivana again.”
“Geraldine and her partner took excellent care of my two cats. Geraldine was very communicative and helpful, she took time to understand my and my cats' needs and made me feel at ease. I really appreciated them driving round to mine to pick up my cats and all their things, and dropping them back home. I'd definitely call on Geraldine again if I needed to board my cats, and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Julia was the perfect sitter. She is kind, communicative, consistent, and genuinely wanted the best for my cat. It means so much to have a reliable and loving sitter when I'm on holiday- will definitely rebook in the future. Elvis and I thank you Julia!! ❤️”
About: I have taken care of cats for 5 years. Well versed in both kitten care and senior cat care. I am house proud and treat every home like my own. I am mindful of privacy and respect the rules of the roof I am under. Above all I adore cats and genuinely enjoy just being in their presence.
“I have never used a Cat sitter before, this is my 1st time. I would highly recommend Natsaha, she is very professional, organised and enthusiastic and worth every £. She popped around a few days beforehand to meet my 2 Cats, which I though was great! Problem free, perfect a weight off my mind! Thank you ???”
“Yara was great with our cat, she was quick to understand his personality and how to look after him while we were away. Her updates were great and made us feel at ease, would recommend to anyone looking for a cat sitter :)”
“We booked Deanne to look after our cat Cosmic at the beginning of the summer, and on my return I quickly enquired if she would be available to look after Cosmic again for our summer holiday. I can’t express how thoughtfully and diligently Deanne has looked after Cosmic, not only making sure she had food and water, but playing with her and engaging with her. Deanne is genuinely looking out for Cosmic’s wellbeing - it’s very tempting to overfeed a cat, especially a noisy one like Cosmic, but Deanne made sure Cosmic did not pile on the pounds whilst we were away. The family really miss Cosmic when we’re on holiday, but Deanne’s detailed reports and wonderful photos kept us reassured and entertained each evening. It is a responsibility to be in someone’s house whilst they are away, and Deanne has given us every reason for us to trust her. She even contacted me when one of our smoke alarms was beeping, and did her best to resolve the annoying situation. Thanks so much Deanne! From Cosmic and all the family XXX”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful with my older cat while i was away. She was reliable, friendly, sent photos often and even saved some of my plants during the heat wave. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you!”
“Susie was a fantastic cat-sitter for me for about 7-8 days while I was on vacation. She messaged me daily with photos and updates of how my cat Geoff was doing, and even recommended some other food and dish-types that he might like more. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I’m away. Such a great experience.”
“Jeff did a great job looking after our cat George while we were away. George was relaxed, clearly very well cared for, and kept nicely entertained. We got updates and some great photos, which was really reassuring. George would happily have Jeff back to cat sit, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. The house was left spotless too.”
About: Hello! I’m Lucy, and I’m truly passionate about caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my own little terrier, Maya, from puppyhood through to senior years; I know just how much love, patience, and understanding this entails. I also volunteer with Underdog International, a fantastic dog charity in my spare time. Through this, and my own experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs - young and old, anxious and outgoing, energetic and laid-back. I’m confident in all aspects of care, from walking and feeding to bathing, playtime and administering medication if needed. If your pet has specific needs, just let me know when you book as I’m always happy to accommodate. I currently work a four day week from home, Monday-Thursday alongside my partner Oli. We’re both civil servants with flexible schedules, so between us, your dog with have plenty of company and opportunities for walks and play! We live in a spacious two bed flat in Hackney Central, with no pets of our own and no children. There’s access to a large gated garden and we’re just an 8 minute walk from London Fields. The bottom line is that your dog’s wellbeing and safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, supportive and secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I’m always happy to accommodate special routines, dietary needs or quirks to ensure your dog feels comfortable and safe.
About: Plenty of experience with puppies, seniors and everything in between. An interest in dog psychology and behaviour helps to avoid potential problems. Experienced ball thrower! Currently available for morning/afternoon walks, daycare and longer stay dog sitting, either at my home or yours. Please contact for details and bookings. Thanks you I will take direction from the owner generally. I offer extended care in the owner’s home, if necessary or just a walk in the area around their home and return.
“This is our first time using cat in a flat and Rachel could not have put our mind more at ease! She sent plenty of updates and our cat Oscar absolutely loved her. We will definitely be using her again in the future! ”

“Sarah has been amazing with Bailey! He has come home happy and tired from a wonderful day of walks and cuddles. It’s so lovely to see the updates of him relaxing and exploring during the day! Thank you Sarah!”
“My dog Dobby loved Moises even though he is initially reactive towards men — after a bit of calming down they now remain good friends :) Moises definitely cares about dogs and it shows. Would rebook again!”
About: Hi there! I’m new to the app and looking to spend sometime with company as I work from home. I have taken care of my dogs back home since the age of 12, one being a Shih Tzu and the other a French Bulldog, both in-house dogs and I’m comfortable with routines and needs that come with smaller breeds. Since moving to the UK, I’ve spent time with dogs at parks and in friend’s homes, and I’m now looking to reconnect with this part more officially. Because I work from home, I can offer a relaxed, low-stress environment a with loads of companionship, potty breaks and even send updates throughout the day! In my home, dogs are welcome to join me for a cuddle in bed or sleep their crate - I’m happy to follow your rules/routines at home! Happy to meet up if you think I’m a good match. I work from home and usually connected from 09:30 to 17:00 however my tasks are extremely flexible and I’m encouraged to spend sometime outside so would be able to go for regular shorter walks and a longer one in the afternoon. My weekends are looking pretty free at the moment, I like to go to a work out class at least once a week and that is around the corner and I love a walk in search of a good pastry/coffee/matcha. I live in a flat with plenty of green spaces less than 20 minutes away. I currently live with one other person (who loves dogs too) and the terrace around the flat is completely gated.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, and currently have two of my own, so I deeply understand the trust involved in caring for someone’s pet. I have a genuine love for dogs, have experience managing multi-dog households, and can tune into each pet’s unique personality and needs. I always strive to create a calm, positive, and joyful environment for every dog I meet. I work from home most days of the week, and I have two dogs at home, so their care is a natural part of my every day life. Walks, mental stimulation, cuddles and playtime easily fit into my daily routine. I prioritise keeping their routines as familiar and comforting as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions carefully. I love providing updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands!
“We are so happy to have found Remi and Matas, they are really warm, patient, and genuinely love dogs. Even though this is our first time leaving our puppy max with them, we felt so assured that he was going to have a great time. We got regular updates and cute photos and videos throughout the day. Can’t recommend them more :)”
“Francesca helped us out with a last minute booking and was so kind! She sent lots of pictures and videos of Joni and made sure she got plenty of playtime throughout the day. Thanks again!”
About: My partner Lucy and I have had dogs ranging from collies to rescue mixes my entire life and cats for a few years too! I recently did a dog reactivity course with the Canine Behavioural College which has made understanding their cues and behaviour so much easier. I’m an aspiring dog trainer but for now we’re just hoping to give some pets a holiday home full of tummy tickles or even just an exciting day out in the park! I currently work part time and my partner works from home so we’d both have so much love and attention to give any pets we had around. We live in Hackney with lots of local parks and enjoy walking - we’d love to have a furry friend join us. We are homeowners so don’t have to worry about any landlord restrictions. We live on the second floor and don’t have a garden but love getting out and about in the parks near us and will accommodate for your dogs energy levels.

“Lucy was amazing with how mini Daschund peaches. Lucy was super tentative to peaches’ needs and peaches was in a really happy mood when we picked her up. Would absolutely have Lucy dog sit peaches again 🙂”
About: Growing up in a household of dogs, from puppies to wise old seniors, I've cared for dogs of all ages and stages. I can totally understand it can be so daunting handing your baby over to a stranger. My Archie is back home in Melbourne right now being spoiled by my parents. I love him to bits and I can assure you that I’ll make sure to treat your baby like family! I currently work full time as a software engineer and am in the office 2 days a week. I live with two other housemates who are occasionally wfh so there’ll be no problems with taking your pet out for bathroom breaks and walkies! I live on the fourth floor of a three bedroom flat, with amole space, a secured balcony, and an enclosed courtyard downstairs and we’ve got Hackney Downs and London Fields closeby

I have years of experience as a dog owner - in past I had Giant Schnauzer and a Jack Russell, and now I have a Miniature Schnauzer.

I live in a house with fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe space to play and relax outdoors. My puppy is very social, so your dog will enjoy a good company and play.
“Ellie was great with our 5-month-old puppy, Leo. She was kind enough to let us introduce Leo before the actual day as he can be quite nervous with new people. He came home happy and we would definitely leave Leo with Ellie again :)”
“Matilda was wonderful! We’re always nervous of leaving Biscuit with a new person but as soon as we met Matilda we could tell she loves dogs as much as we do. She sent plenty of pictures throughout the day and I can tell Biscuit was so well taken care of - we’ll definitely rebook in the future if she’s free. Thanks so much Matilda we appreciate it ❤️”
“Marie is really great with our puppy. It's really clear that our puppy has a good time and is well cared for. After just a couple of visits, we saw improvements in our dog walks too, as she pulls less and her temperament is much calmer in general. Some of the photos we get are also incredibly cute. Marie was quick to respond and very helpful. Thank you!”
“Annie came to my last minute rescue and boy I’m glad! Arlo came back a happy chappy. She certainly took the time to understand him and his needs, he can be a little nervy but he settled in super quick and even made a doggo friend. He wouldn’t leave her doorstep on pick up, I think he has a soft spot for Annie now ❤️”

“Jimena was an absolute sweetheart with my little terror, Milo! 😂🐾 You can really see the patience, care and genuine love she has for animals. Milo can definitely be a handful, but she was so patient and lovely with him. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care and would definitely recommend her! ❤️🐶”

Also I've been volunteering in a dog shelter for 2 years looking after 13 dogs. I'm currently working full-time 4 days on and 4 days off.

“Jackson has been great with Billy. He’s clearly very experienced with dogs and has taken a thoughtful, patient approach...slowly building Billy’s trust and taking things at his pace. It’s been really reassuring to see. We’re now using him for weekly walks. Highly recommend!”
“After meeting up with Ian I was very happy to send my 8 month Cavalier for his daily walks I received lots of lovely videos and my little boy was having the most amazing time and loved every minute ❤️ Albi was having so much fun I decided to book a few days for the following week thank you Ian and co 😊”

“Hands down the best dog sitters/ boarders I have ever booked for my dog Marple- and I have booked with many! Marple is an extremely high energy parson Russell and I was so impressed with how amazing and attentive Brian was in sending me lots of updates and photos and I was not anxious at all. I will definitely book him again. Marple was so well cared for and happy when she was dropped back and Brian had also spotted a potential injury that I had overlooked. I am so grateful and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“Emily was great with Monty. My dog was very happy when we picked him up. Emily was super responsive and had great communication. We received updates and photos. Emily was available on short notice and we really appreciated her kindness to us and Monty. Thank you again for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Adam was absolutely sensational. He is truly such a dog lover and from our meet and greet I could tell my two cockapoos would be in the best hands. During their stay with Adam, one of my dogs ended up with a grass seed in her ear and he recognised it so quickly and acted so quickly to get her to the vet that meant the vet didn’t have to sedate her to get it out - his attention to their wellbeing is next level. I couldn’t possibly recommend a better person to look after my pups. Thanks so much Adam, really looking forward to you looking after Cooper and Suzette again!”
“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”
“Olivia and Lauren accepted our very last minute request to look after Coco. They were so lovely and Coco seemed to have had such a great time. It made us feel comfortable to know that he was well looked after by these dog lovers.”

I have a back garden and pets have a run of my flat if they are staying over.
“Darren was a great help with my dog, Ed. He was attentive to Ed’s needs and routine and made sure he was well looked after. Darren sent photo updates and his corgi, Angie, shared the space with Ed (which is appreciated when he’s such a big dog!). Would highly recommend Darren as a sitter!”
“My experience with Jennifer was great! She was very responsive, and kept sending regular updates photos/videos of how my dog was doing while I was away. Most importantly Moby (dog) loved staying with her and her family. I would also love to mention how kind Jennifer was to accept a last minute request to look after my dog, when I had an urgent need to leave London for a day. Will definitely leave Moby with Jennifer again!”
“Thank you so much for everything you do Fernando! Meeting you and your dogs was very professional, I loved our communication throughout Syd stays, your house is great and we will love to ask for your services for our next time! The review from Syd is 10/10!!”
“Breda was exceptional! She was always quick to respond, incredibly friendly, and genuinely helpful. Even when we had some last-minute changes related to our flight, she remained flexible and accommodating. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with pictures and gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was clearly in very good hands. We would absolutely love to work with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Ellie was utterly amazing looking after Mila! I'm extremely cautious who I leave Mila with but she looked at her happiest when I arrived. Ellie gave very frequent updates and super speedy responses which did allow me to enjoy time away without being too concerned! Highly recommend Ellie and definitely would reach out again if available.”
About: I’ve been part of a family that has always had pets, so caring for animals has been a part of my life from a very young age. I grew up on a farm in New Zealand, surrounded by a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and Highland cows. This has given me plenty of hands-on experience understanding the different personalities and needs of all kinds of animals. As well as caring for my own pets, I’ve also looked after the pets of friends and family over the years. We have a running family joke that I’m the “animal whisperer” because I’ve always had a natural way of connecting with animals and helping them feel comfortable around me. I’m genuinely not biased towards cats or dog, I absolutely love both! Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and routines. You can rest assured that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Whether they need lots of playtime, a quiet companion, or someone to stick to their usual routine, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I am currently working full time as a designer. I have the flexibility to work from home to care for animals, plus a pet friendly office space. If they needed to come to work with me. I live in a lovely ground floor flat in Islington that has lots of living room space. With a fenced outdoor area for fresh air. Lots of local parks in the area for walks.
“Giuliana was the best sitter Futuro could have asked for! I really mean it, I was nervous because it was our first time using the app, but Giuli and Pato made us feel completely comfortable from the moment we met them, days before we left for our holiday. They sent photos and updates constantly, took him on walks everywhere, and spoilt him as if he were their own. They gave him so much love and playtime that he was genuinely happy; you could see it in every photo and video, and it was obvious when we picked him up too. They followed every instruction we gave them, and honestly, we couldn’t have felt more calm knowing he was in their hands. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after Futuro the way they did. Thank you for giving us all, Futuro included, a wonderful holiday! 🐾”
“Megan is an absolutely gem of a dog sitter. I have a small rescue dog with some anxiety issues, so finding a sitter who I could trust was key. Megan surpassed all my expectations. From the moment we met her, I felt warmth and care, and knew that my dog would be in great hands. Megan was very accommodating, and went out of her way to make sure my dog was comfortable. My dog is an extremely fussy eater, so Megan added some lovely toppings to her food to help her eat properly. She took my dog on walks and runs by the canal, making sure she got her exercise. Megan sent me photo and video updates everyday, and my dog looked super happy and content in each one. She looked like she enjoyed the many belly rubs and cuddles throughout the sit. Additionally, Megan’s apartment is sunny, spacious, and close to the park and canal, an ideal setting for walking and play outside. I am so grateful to have found Megan, and would absolutely rebook her for another visit. Thanks again Megan!”
“Thank you Deborah and Dan for having Molly this week. I felt very relaxed leaving her with you. You did an excellent job looking after my anxious high-energy dog. Great communication, lovely flat and nice people.”
“Imogen came to the rescue when we had a last minute change of plans and needed a dog sitter for the night. She was very accommodating and communicative, and Leo seemed to be happy! Thanks so much again.”
“Ziggy always loves his time with Ela and gets so excited whenever we walk by her place :) it’s so reassuring knowing your dog is in safe hands while you’re gone and the frequent updates with pictures are a huge plus! My golden boy and I definitely recommend.”
About: My partner Lucy and I have had dogs ranging from collies to rescue mixes my entire life and cats for a few years too! I recently did a dog reactivity course with the Canine Behavioural College which has made understanding their cues and behaviour so much easier. I’m an aspiring dog trainer but for now we’re just hoping to give some pets a holiday home full of tummy tickles or even just an exciting day out in the park! I currently work part time and my partner works from home so we’d both have so much love and attention to give any pets we had around. We live in Hackney with lots of local parks and enjoy walking - we’d love to have a furry friend join us. We are homeowners so don’t have to worry about any landlord restrictions. We live on the second floor and don’t have a garden but love getting out and about in the parks near us and will accommodate for your dogs energy levels.
