I greatly appreciated Emily’s kindness, communication, and the many updates and photos she sent throughout Luna’s stay, even when I wasn’t able to reply. I would happily trust Emily to look after Luna again. As a fellow Doberman owner, I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Emily!”
“Francesca was brilliant with Ralph! She kept us updated with lovely messages and adorable photos, which made leaving him so much easier.

“Kathleen was absolutely amazing with Ralphie. She sent regular updates and asked questions to see what Ralphie might need while he stayed with her. It was obvious she has experience with dogs, and really loves them. She was very attentive to Ralphie especially considering he has separation anxiety and needed medication administered daily. I’d recommend Kathleen without a doubt !! ❤️”

“Having Deanne for kitty visits whilst we were away worked out great for both us and Smudge! We couldn’t have asked for much more than the service provided. Deanne sent us daily updates that we found ourselves excited for each day along with pictures to show us Smudge was doing good, eating and playing with her new friend :) Thank you Deanne for lessening any worries we had for our kitty girl whilst we were away, we’re so happy we have someone we can rely on in the future!”
“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 ???”

“Annie was an absolute delight! My wife and I moved to the UK last year and lost our network of cat sitters in the process. After a new friend had to cancel ahead of a trip to see family, Annie saved the day and provided us with an incredible sense of peace. Our boys are so important to us, and we rested easy knowing she was checking in on them daily. We’ll hire her again in a heartbeat! Thank you again, Annie!”
“Susie was absolutely fantastic, sending us regular updates and pics of our cat while we were on holiday. He is quite an anxious cat and tends to get stressed when we leave for long periods of time but he seemed really relaxed and happy when we got back - despite suffering through the heatwave!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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!”
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: I’ve always been great with dogs and naturally calm around them. Friends regularly trust me to look after their dogs, including longer sitting, feeding and walks around East London. I currently help care for my friend’s chihuahua, Queenie, who’s become my little sidekick, as well as my friend’s staffie, Pablo. I’m very attentive, patient and genuinely enjoy being around dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’m based in Hackney and already spend a lot of time walking through London Fields, Victoria Park and the surrounding areas, usually clocking between 10–20k steps a day, so dog walking fits very naturally into my routine. I’m 36 and currently writing my debut novel, so I spend a lot of time walking, thinking and being outdoors anyway. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your dog, so I’ll always make sure owners feel updated, reassured and confident their dog is being well looked after. I work flexibly and spend a lot of time walking throughout East London already, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding and sitting during weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for morning, daytime and evening care depending on availability. I enjoy long walks and outdoor time, so I’m happy tailoring walks to suit different dogs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I’m attentive and very aware of how important trust is when caring for someone’s dog. I always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and settled, whether that’s during walks, home visits, or sitting in an owners home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, behaviour and anything specific owners would like me to be aware of. I’m respectful of peoples homes, keep communication clear and will always provide updates and photos where helpful for reassurance. I’m also mindful around other dogs, busy roads and environments, and I’ll always prioritise a dogs safety, comfort and wellbeing first.
“I can’t thank Remi and Matas enough for looking after our little girl, Pearl. Her tail wagged like crazy every time we dropped her off and we received constant updates on what she was up to throughout the day. She’s made amazing little puppy friends along the way too. We will most definitely be coming back!! The highlight of Pearl’s week :)”
“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: I've been an animal lover and carer for many years. From having family pets as a child to looking after not only house pets (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and more!) but also farm animals, I've always had a furry friend by my side. While my job and life haven't made it possible for me to keep a constant pet of my own these days, I've taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for friends, family, and pet owners around the world on platforms like this. These days I have plenty of attention to devote to looking after your own pets. I enjoy getting to know the quirks of every animal and am happy to discuss whatever needs your pets may have, from basic feeding and walking to giving medications and maintaining training or behavioural reinforcement. I want to make sure everybody - from two legs to four legs - is comfortable with keeping up your routines while providing the best care and love for them. Depending on the arrangement and request, I'm always in regular communication with you including pictures and videos. I've looked after pets of all ages and those with special needs including giving medications, administering injections, monitoring health or behavioural issues, and maintaining training regimens. I work from home most days and have flexibility to look after your pets whether to pop out for a walk, have them over to mine for the day or evening (large flat with plenty of space and a garden!), or look after them at yours so they can stay in a familiar environment. While I've only just started on the Rover platform, I have over 40-50 five-star reviews and references on other pet sitting platforms which I'm happy to provide. I'm a working professional but most days I work from home and keep a flexible schedule which allows me to pop out for walks, keep pets with me for the day or overnight, or work from pet owners' homes. For repeat or regular clients, I communicate any lack of availability due to work travel or other reasons at least two weeks in advance. For daycare or boarding options in my home, I have everything a pet could want. The house has plenty of space and a garden with no other pets of my own. For walks nearby, I'm on a leafy street with plenty of parks where we can either make new dog friends or keep to ourselves. I provide plenty of attention throughout the day. For house sits in your house, I can work from there and stay with your pet(s) most of the day. I'm a responsible sitter, not only to make sure your pet's needs are taken care of but also for house security. I treat your place with the utmost respect, and keep things very tidy. Non-smoker.
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years and truly love being around animals. Growing up with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I’m very comfortable looking after different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also previously worked as a dog groomer, which gave me hands-on experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This experience helped me develop a strong understanding of dog behavior and how to keep dogs calm, comfortable, and well cared for. I recently moved to London, but in my family home we have two beautiful dogs, a Samoyed and Pug who I absolutely adore. Being around them has taught me how important it is for dogs to feel safe, loved, and well cared for when their owners are away. I’m a huge animal lover and even attend Crufts every year because I genuinely enjoy learning more about dogs and spending time around them. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some calm company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and happy while in my care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will always treat your dog as if they were my own, with lots of attention, patience, and love. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and outdoor time, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I enjoy being active and already take daily walks, so having a dog join me fits perfectly into my schedule. I can provide multiple walks during the day depending on your dog’s needs, along with lots of attention, companionship, and playtime. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m also able to keep a close eye on pets and make sure they feel comfortable and settled in a calm environment. Whether your dog enjoys being active or prefers relaxing and cuddling, I can easily adapt my routine to make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed. I have a garden that provides a lovely outdoor space for dogs to get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy some time outside during the day. I also live close to several parks, which makes it easy to take dogs on regular walks and give them plenty of exercise and stimulation. Whether your dog enjoys long walks or shorter, relaxed outings, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and energy level. Inside the home, there is plenty of space in the living area where dogs can settle comfortably. The environment is safe and dog-friendly, allowing pets to relax, play, or rest throughout the day. Because I work from home, I’m able to supervise them closely and make sure they always feel secure and cared for. My goal is to make every dog feel at home, giving them lots of attention, affection, and a safe space while their owners are away.
About: I am a warm, calm, professional, kind and collaborative writer, musician, yogi and lawyer. I work from my home directly on the park in Hackney, within my 6ft solid fence and no pets. So I would love to spend my time with your special fur baby. I have been formally pet sitting for 5 years. I grew up my whole life with dogs; as big as a 35kg labrador, poodle-mixes, farm and working dogs, 'bully breeds' (I prefer the term 'cuddlebugs'), small dogs, blind dogs, trauma rescues and dogs in their golden years. I have also owned, rescued and cared for many cats including older unwell cats, groups of kittens, and disabled-and-thriving cats. Unfortunately, I cannot host cats at my place right now because of my dear housemate's cat allergy. I am very active, love spending time walking and hanging out in the park, and respond to stress in animals (and humans!) with calm confidence and gentle respect. I can bathe, pick up, and administer medicine for a small extra fee and I like to start with a meet & green where possible. If you like my service, I am available for ongoing care; that way, you and your fur baby can benefit from a familiar environment, routine and maybe even learn some helpful new tricks. I can't wait to meet you. My days are very flexible, so can adapt to your pets' needs. I tend to work from my kitchen table with the backyard door open, so your pet can come and go as they please. I work remotely on long-term projects, except when I have the occasional evening rehearsal (which have weeks of notice that we can work around). In terms of trust, in a past career era, I worked for both the UK and Australian national governments, so was vetted by their security clearance teams (though they clearances are not presently active as I am working for myself). This includes consistently maintaining a squeaky clean record. I have also been a nanny, babysitter and au pair for twenty years and can provide references about my character, work quality and trustworthiness from parents of both animals and humans. As a previous criminal prosecutor and frontline worker, in the unlikely case that a crisis emerges, I am extremely skilled, responsive and reliable. I will respect the safety and security of your home, your animal and your family like it's my own, and like I proved criminal cases for a living once upon a time.
“Lucy is very joyful and kind to take care of our Pedri when we need to go somewhere. She’s very attentive to details and his routine, and Pedri loves her and her partner and enjoys his time with them 🥰”
“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!”
“Sarah helped us out with a short notice request which we were very grateful for. Sarah is warm, friendly and flexible and was happy to take care of my mum's elderly dog as well as our energetic pup! We will definitely be in contact with her again, thank you Sarah!”
“Aleksandra was a great host, she looked after our Mossy with great care and sent lots of lovely photos throughout the visit. She was so kind and flexible with our drop off time as we were running a little late. Moss had a great time and we would definitely book Aleksandra again :)”
About: We are furparents to two gorgeous doggos - one of whom is currently in our home country. We miss him a lot and would also love for our cockapoo here to make more friends. Both of us grew up with pets (cats and dogs) and admittedly, love spending time with them more than we do with people. We both work from home and go to the office once a week so someone is always available to care for your dog. Our jobs permit us to block a few hours on our calendars each day so we can take your dog on walks depending on their routine. We live in a flat with a long balcony so your dog won’t have any trouble holding their bladder while inside. We live 5 mins away three dog pens and about 15 mins from London Fields, so plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play. Our dog, Chico, is always excited to play with others as long as they allow him too. If your dog is not prepared for this, as there are two of us, it’s no trouble to keep them separate.
“Really fantastic sitter. Went above and beyond with my pup and showed her the best time. She has come home very happy, she got to go to loads of different places. Knowing my pup got to have a walk and swim in Hampstead Heath and got to play basketball too makes me feel a bit better about leaving her. Looked after her like a family member. Very pleased & highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve pets all my life, dogs when I was a kid and cats when I was teenager. During the pandemia I spent 7 months in Spain in a country house and animal cats started to come to our place for food. We fed them, take care of them for those months and found family for them. My sister has a dog, Lua and my partner’s family has a dog Buddy and we love to spend time with them. I love animals unfortunately we travel a lot so we can’t have our own pet in London. I run my own company so I can work around my own schedule and take care of pets when they need to go out for a walk. I don’t have a crate at home so the pet will be free in my flat and I don’t like pets in cages I like them to feel free like at home
“Adam was really careful with the hot weather today and make sure ivy was comfortable!!! She came back with such a big smile and she loves so much her day with him! Thanks again so much Adam 😊”
“Isabella was amazing with looking after Miller. Super communicative and gave Miller regular walks and clearly a lot of care, especially when Miller has been ill and needs specific care. Looking forward to book again!”

“George walks Martha regularly, he is fantastic and always sends me updates when they’re together. It brings me a lot of joy knowing she’s with someone who’s really taking care of her! Would recommend 1000/10”
About: Hi! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, especially senior and shy pets. My English is basic (A1), so using translation apps is ideal for me to communicate perfectly. I offer safe, calm, and exclusive walks (1 dog at a time) always on a leash. I am extremely responsible and will treat your furry friend with love. Let's explore Hackney's parks together! I organize my weekly calendar by setting aside dedicated, uninterrupted blocks of time strictly for dog walking. Thanks to my wide availability from Monday to Saturday (6:00 AM to 8:00 PM), I seamlessly integrate walks into my routine, ensuring punctuality, consistency, and my full attention for each pet. Always on a leash: Your dog will remain safely under my control at all times.100% dedicated attention: Full focus on your pet, with absolutely no distractions.Safe and familiar routes: We stick exclusively to the safest local parks in the area (including Hackney Downs Park, London Fields, and Millfields Park).
“Lucy took our beloved senior boy Ollie on some walks in his last few weeks and she did such a lovely job caring for him. He needed to be carried up and down the stairs, and he was very slow so needed a lot of patience. We are so grateful for her and recommend her to any other dog owner.”
About: I have been a pet lover since age 0, and have spent 5 years professionally dog walking and pet sitting in New York City before moving to London, caring for hundreds of beloved pets. I grew up with three beautiful dogs, Bali, Bella, and Rilian (a lab, a Great Pyrenees, and an Irish water spaniel), alongside three fab cats (Bigote, Tigerlily, Katherine, and Henrietta), and my current cat Antonio. In addition to professional experience, I have been helping friends and family with their pets since I was 13 years old. I am professionally trained with different types of dogs, and have a lot of experience with dogs of all different ages and personalities. I also have experience of caring for sick and geriatric dogs and cats. I'm so excited to meet your beautiful pets! I work remotely, so I am very flexible in my schedule and able to give your pet lots of attention. I’m happy to provide walks and drop-ins at the frequency that your pet needs. I don’t provide pet sitting in my own home (as I have a cat who likes his own space!) and when looking after pets in the host’s home, I am scrupulous to follow instructions and the needs of the pet in terms of safety, health, and happiness.
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
“Remi and Matas are who you want. You can tell they are attuned to dogs and motivated to get to know a dog, sensitive to mine who as a rescue is gentle but quite sensitive to her surroundings and being around strangers. They are also great communicators and accommodating. Lastly, their dog Loki is sweet, and my dog prefers company of another dog when at daycare. Very ideal for my dog. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was five years old, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m originally from Lima, where I’ve dog-sat both in my home and in owners’ homes. I’ve had two dogs of my own: Coron, a Dalmatian, and Vilma, a Golden Retriever. Through them, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life, including senior care, so I understand the patience and gentleness older dogs need. I also love caring for puppies and younger dogs, and I’m always happy to keep them active and playful. I combine genuine affection with responsibility and reliable communication, and I’ll always keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs calm companionship or lots of play, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I’m job searching while working on projects from home and doing some volunteering. This means I can easily adapt my routine to your pet’s needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with timings, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific preferences your pet may have, whether they need calm companionship or more active playtime. I will always make sure they feel relaxed and well cared for in their familiar environment. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I've been looking after dogs almost my whole life. I really love spending time surrounded by dogs, it's the best part of the day and it's my passion. 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. With these schedules I have enough free time to spend with doggies. On my days off I'm available for dog walks near my area and also I'm usually free in the afternoon. I can look after your dog at your home if we planning this in advance. For now I'm not able to have dogs in my own house.
“Jackson is great! My dog Roxi is pretty nervous. He took the time to get to know her and make her comfortable, and she had a ton of fun on her walk out with him! Highly recommend :)”
About: Where do I start.... The most important question to be asked is... Do I Love Animals... Answer.... Yes very much so, all animals big or small. Despite my passion for dogs, Cat/ Small Animal Sitting is my main speciality, as I feel I have a good bond with kitty cats especially as I live with 2 of them myself , so it if is this service that you require, I am you Kitty Sitter and I would be over the moon to be able to help ???????? Ever since I was a little girl, have spent my life growing up with dogs, training and playing with them and as a result of my love for animals I spent some time doing work experience in the vets near to where I used to live. I am very passionate about animals and I can truly say that I just love them to bits, well ALL animals really. Looking after animals gives me that sense of enjoyment knowing that I am helping someone out and getting time to spend with a much loved Pet. As I currently work full time in the City of London, I am free for doggie walking between the hours or 6am-8am and the again from 7pm-10pm. I am free Saturday morning for dog walk and any house sitting and am free all day on Sundays. Happy to walk dogs early morning and in the evening as well as weekends too. If feeding pets is required I am more than happy to do that too

“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”
“Griff had an absolutely gorgeous time with Sidonie !! Would happily have her look after him again and was able to have a super relaxing weekend without worrying about him. Thank you!!”
“Ivy had the best day with Adam!!! We had plenty updates during the day and did 2 big walks with her!! She came back so happy!!! I really recommend him ,easy communication,super friendly and Ivy can't wait to see him again !! Thanks again !!”
“Emily was amazing! I could not have asked for anyone better to look after Luna on such short notice. It is clear how much she loves and cares for dogs. Luna was happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we picked her up—she almost seemed reluctant to leave and come home! I greatly appreciated Emily’s kindness, communication, and the many updates and photos she sent throughout Luna’s stay, even when I wasn’t able to reply. I would happily trust Emily to look after Luna again. As a fellow Doberman owner, I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Emily!”
“Craig and Donal took care of my dog, Lucy overnight. This was my first time leaving Lucy with someone she didn’t know. When Lucy met Craig and their dog, she warmed up to them straight away. Throughout the day Craig kept me upto date with how Lucy was doing and was sending me photos which put my mind at ease and made me happy that she was having a great time! I am grateful that I found Craig and Donal and happy that I have lovely people to look after Lucy.”
“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: We're a friendly, calm, WFH couple living right by London Fields. Dogs have been a big part of both our lives since we were kids - I grew up with springer spaniels, and Jack with border collies. We don't have one of our own right now, and we miss having that companionship around, so we'd love to look after your pups when we can :) We work from home a lot so your pups will gets lots of company. We're easy-going about fitting into their routine, up for walks or overnight stay. We've looked after dogs locally over the last couple years through BorrowMyDoggy - so we know the ropes, even if we're new to Rover! Between the two of us, one or both of us is usually home most days, so your dog gets plenty of company rather than being left alone for hours. We fit walks and playtime around work calls (not the other way round), and we're happy to stick to whatever routine your dog's used to, feeding times, walk lengths, all of it. Evenings and weekends we're normally around too, so it's not just a weekday thing. Overnight stays are always at ours. We've got a small patio out back and we're literally seconds from London Fields, so your dog gets regular time outdoors, not just one walk a day squeezed in. Inside, it's a calm, settled home, no long periods left alone, and we follow your feeding and routine instructions closely so nothing feels unfamiliar. We ask plenty of questions upfront too (recall, reactivity, anything they're nervous of) so there are no surprises on day one, and we're always reachable for updates or photos if you want peace of mind.
“Aleksandra is amazing! She had him for a week while I was on holiday. She was so proactive, helpful and really gets larger dogs. Even when something happens she doesn't panic. Would recommend to any size or breed!”
“Megan was able to look after Jeremy at the very last minute after another sitter needed to cancel. Jeremy was obviously very comfortable and happy in her care and I would definitely reach out to Megan again in the future.”
“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.”
“Bran had such a brilliant stay with Remo and Matas, and the very patient Loki. They looked after her so well in every way, with lots of walks. Everyday there were always other dogs for Bran to play with, and she absolutely loves playing with other dogs. She was a tired and happy dog when we picked her up, and I'm sure she would have happily stayed longer! We got regular photos and videos so we could see what a good time she was having. We have no hesitation in recommending Remi and Matas to anyone, and hope that Bran can stay with them again sometime.”
About: I’ve loved animals all my life, no matter how big or small. My first pet Nelo the cat came into my life when I was nine and taught me responsibility, care, and that love is shown through actions something I carry into every pet I look after. I have over a year of experience on the Rover app caring for multiple dogs, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. To make sure every dog gets plenty of individual attention, I only accept one booking at a time. However, I’m happy to care for two dogs if they’re from the same household, so they can stay together in a familiar pair. I’m experienced in administering medication (such as mixing tablets into food) and can provide baths if shampoo is supplied. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe and well cared for. :) Clear communication is very important to me, so I’ll always keep you updated for peace of mind. I’m always happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule and often work from home so your dog is never left alone. I easily incorporate walks, playtime, and any necessary care into my day, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s individual routine. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if needed, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I also keep the home tidy and respect any specific instructions given. If caring for a pet in my own home, they will always be in my company, ensuring they feel safe and never alone. I have a secure garden, allowing for frequent toilet breaks and outdoor play whenever needed.
About: Hi! I'm a reliable, caring, and responsible dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'm happy to follow their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, play, companionship, medication (if needed and with clear instructions), and regular updates with photos for your peace of mind. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I'll care for them as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I currently work full time (9-5), with two days in the office and three days at home. I’m happy to take long lunches for those who require a good walk/run during the day and happy to walk before and after work too. I live in a flat with my friend who is also an avid dog and cat sitter. Our flat is safe, dog friendly home located on the third floor. We do not have a garden but there are several parks near by for walks and toilet breaks with bigger parks like London fields and clissold park for those bigger adventures.
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.
“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!”
“Merve is a dog lover and a dog whisperer! Our dog (Bella, a German Shepherd) is quite anxious being separated from us but she took to Merve very quickly and had an absolute ball staying with her and her family. They really love, care and bonded with Bella, spoiling her with affection, play, walks and letting her be one of the family. She was allowed on the sofa and bed, given toys to play with and Merve sent literally hundreds of photos while we were away. We could tell by the pictures how much Bella was enjoying her stay with Merve, she looked so happy and relaxed. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bella, it was a relief to have her boarded with someone who took such good care of her, and meant we could relax and enjoy our time away. We weren’t sure if Bella would ever want to come home after our holiday! We highly recommend Merve!! She’s brilliant. Jack and Geetha”
“Very please that we managed to find Imogen! She was great with Cash and took amazingly good care of him. We were sent updates and pictures of him throughly enjoying himself during his stay. We will hopefully get to see Imogen next time we need someone to take care of the little guy!”
“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! 🐾”
