“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!”
“Lizzy was amazing, accommodating and so warm and welcoming. Balou had a wonderful stay and my mind was at ease with daily updates and photos. I will be using Lizzy again. Thank you so much Lizzy.”
“Eyvette was great - confident with Comet and very accommodating with drop off/schedule which was a huge help. Thanks so much, Comet's looking forward to seeing you again soon!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Billie had a great stay with Darren overnight. He sent reassuring updates and gave us confidence that she was in good hands. We’d love Darren to take care of Billie again :) thank you!”
“Thais was excellent with our dog, who has stayed there several times before and seems to have a lovely time. We got updates on how things were going regularly and it was very easy to get in touch prior to dropping off / collecting. Highly recommend, your dog will have a lovely time!”
“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!”
“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! 🐾”
“Brian & his partner took such great care of our Diva whilst we were away on holiday. They sent regular pics and updates throughout the day which was v kind. They picked up and dropped Diva off to our home again which was also v appreciated. Wonderful dog sitters and we will book again!”
“Gulsum was absolutely great - really nice person and brilliant at communication. Most importantly, Mia took to her straight away and they got along brilliantly. I felt secure that Mia was in great hands and having a great time. Highly recommended.”
“This was our second boarding experience with Fernando and Morne and we couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They took exceptional care of our Shih Tzu and truly treated him like one of their own. It’s clear they are genuine dog lovers—their own dogs, Kiki and Bailey, are incredibly friendly, and our dog absolutely loved spending time with them, especially in their garden. Communication throughout was spotless and highly organised. We received regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to know he was happy, comfortable, and being so well looked after in our absence. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitters!”
“My dog is a nervous rescue who struggles when I leave her and Moises was really good with her and not phased by her special needs. Gave really good update during the stay as well which was very reassuring. 100% recommend Moises and very grateful for the excellent care of my dog.”
“Sidonie was great looking after Lenny (1.5 year old Labrador) whilst I was away for the weekend (3 nights). She provided all the walks, food, play, care and attention he required to make his stay as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend Sidonie for any dog sitting or boarding needs!”
“George and Dot are the most amazing sitters, so friendly and communicative and are obviously very experienced with dogs! Boko had a brilliant time and can’t wait to go back 😀”
“Matilda is awesome! We left our 3 month old cavapoo with her overnight and he had the best time. You can tell there is a genuine love and care for dogs. Matilda was great with Moby when we dropped him off which made us feel really comfortable and trusting as first time users of a sitter. Definitely our number one choice whenever we need help again. Couldn't recommend enough.”
“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”
“Hope took really good care of my dachshund Basile! She and her partner are very reliable, communicative and clearly have a heart for dogs. I felt like I could trust her and she would be careful with Basile and make sure he had a good time. highly recommend interesting your dog to her!”

“Dennis was so great with my cat Zeus over Christmas. He kept me updated with photos and went above and beyond with service. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born, and in my adulthood have never lived without a pet. My senior dog, Oliver, recently passed away and I’m looking to put my pet-caring skills to good use. I work full-time in an office, so I am only available for pet care on the weekends and weekday evenings. I am happy to do drop-in’s on the weekdays and boarding on the weekdays. Reach out if you have questions and I’ll see if I can accommodate something outside of that range. I am happy to provide whatever the pet needs - whether it be trips to the park or cuddles and attention. I live near London Fields so am happy to take your dog there to expel some energy and have a good sniff. I live in a first floor flat, so just know that dogs with mobility issues will have to be okay with being carried upstairs.
“Ivana was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend her services. My cat Chiquita looked happy and at ease with her presence. I really loved the daily photo and video updates too. Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind while I was away. ”
“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!”
“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!”
“So happy to have found Susie to look after my two cats, she is very professional. I felt confident leaving my cats in her care, they are nervous of strangers but Susie made great progress with them in just one visit! I received great communication with messages and photos/videos, and they even received Christmas presents! I would highly recommend Susie and book with her again.”
“Absolutely 💯, reliable 👏 has great cat knowledge, trustworthy. patience, flexibility and friendly. She completed all the tasks required and more. My cats loved her and was very chilled when I came home ( which was nice) . I would defiantly book her again! Thanks Sarah 😊”
“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.”
“Annie was excellent! Her check ins were great and communication was fab. She was always nice, professional, and friendly, and was also kind enough to help us out on short notice. We returned home to a happy and healthy cat. Would definitely recommend 😊”
“Really kind and helpful sitter 🩷 Helped me out very last minute while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout. Cali was very comfortable with her and she was so caring and understanding. Would definitely recommend, thank you again!”
“Alice was absolutely amazing with old timer cat Magnet.. She did four drop-in visits and was incredibly attentive, making sure he was well-fed, played with, and comfortable each time. Very good communication too and it was clear from the updates and photos that Magnet adored her – and he doesn’t warm up to just anyone especially with brushing and cleaning eyes. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands when we were away “. We’ll definitely be booking with Alice again when we go away next for a weekend and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Alice! Jon & Elena”
“I had a fabulous experience with Lucia. The cats immediately loved her and were super comfortable with her coming in. She was really communicative and shared updates and pictures of the cats and I felt really safe knowing she was coming in each day.”
“After meeting Deborah I felt reassured that my nervous cat Missy would be in safe hands - Deborah was friendly, very caring and professional in her manner; she managed to get a photo of Missy ( who runs away from anyone other than myself so fairly unrewarding to cat sit) and let me know that she’d seen her around and that she was eating her food which left me able to enjoy my trip away with no worries. Deborah offered to organise her visits to fit in with Missy’s mealtimes which I was most grateful for. I would certainly recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter and I will happily use her again.”
“Hannah was fantastic with our little freds. I think Freddie made a new best friend, and we came home to a very happy boy. Hannah was really easy to keep in touch with, sent great updates and even covered an extra day for us when I made a mistake with the dates of our trip. Will definitely be in touch again!”
“Ancika and Oscar were really accommodating and stepped at short notice when I had a last minute need. They took time to understand Gus’ needs and asked all the right questions. Good communication and put me at ease. Would recommend.”
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.

“Nora took such good care of Ida at her first doggy daycare visit! It was a great reassurance to feel confident leaving her with someone so calm and caring, Ida has some separation anxiety issues but Nora handled it all with absolute grace and kindness! Communication and booking were super easy and I was kept updated with pictures throughout the day. It’s clear that Nora cares very much for the dogs she looks after and it is wonderful to know that your dog is in such good hands! We will definitely be rebooking in the future. Thank you!”
“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 🙂”
“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!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and was responsible for walking and taking care of our family dog throughout high-school. I have also taken care of neighbours pets whilst they were on holiday. I love dogs and spending time out doors. I work remotely so am very flexible with when I can do visits/ walks. I work full-time from home so have a lot of flexibility to help out as needed for your pet! I like to go for walks before and after work to break up my days which I would love to have a companion on hence why I’ve signed up for Rover! I have a fenced patio at my home if full day sitting is required. It is large enough for a medium size dog to be happy.
“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!”
“This was the second time Yagmur looked after Polly, and once again she was fantastic. She is a very kind and caring person, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Polly in her care. Yagmur kept me updated throughout the day and sent me lovely photos of Polly, which was greatly appreciated. Polly was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend Yagmur and would happily book with her again.”
“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 :)”
About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, so I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs. I also had my own dog, and I often take care of dogs with my girlfriend. I love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy and safe. I work part-time on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so I have time on the other days to take care of pets. I can plan my days around your pet’s needs and make sure they are happy and cared for. I have a garden at my house and there are plenty of parks nearby, so your pet will have lots of space to play and explore. I always make sure they are safe and comfortable, whether in my home or yours. I treat every pet like my own.
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.
“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: Hi! I absolutely love spending time with animals and would be delighted to look after yours. Whether we're heading out on an adventure, enjoying a relaxed stroll, or just keeping each other company at home, I'll make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved. I'll always treat them as if they were my own and send plenty of photos and updates so you can see what we've been getting up to together. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm able to offer reliable care throughout the week, including dog walking, drop-in visits, day care, and boarding. Whether your pet loves long walks and plenty of activity or prefers a slower pace and some company, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. I always make time for plenty of attention, play, and affection, and I'm flexible where possible to fit around your schedule. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'm a friendly, reliable animal lover with professional dog-walking experience and plenty of pet-sitting experience caring for both dogs and cats. I love getting outdoors and making sure every dog has a walk that's tailored to them, whether that's a long adventure, lots of sniffing, playtime, or a more relaxed stroll. Unlike many dog walkers, I only offer one-to-one walks (or dogs from the same household), so your pet gets my full attention and care. I'll always send photo updates during walks and visits so you can see what your pet is getting up to and have complete peace of mind. Whether you need dog walking, doggy day care, or cat care, I'll treat your pets as if they were my own.
About: We are a young professional couple, Tatiana and Tyler, living next door to Well Street Common and Victoria Park. We have a spacious flat with a private garden and ample room for puppy energy as well as senior dog gentle indoor stay, or lazing in the garden. We both grew up with and around dogs our entire lives. Were originally from Southern California, so we are used to quite the active lifestyle with doggy companions. Our rescue pup, Roo, lives here with us now. She is almost 8 years old, and while she is starting to slow down, she is still energetic, friendly and loves a walking companion! Tatiana rescued Roo from Lebanon and has gone through extensive means to support her through medical emergencies and more, so be sure that we have experience looking after medical needs as well. We have both sat for friends and family, cats and dogs, looking after their feeding needs, medications, and any additional necessities or quirks. Rest assures we have the space, time, energy and desire (!) to look after your little one ❤️ Currently, we are both finishing our masters work. While Tyler is not always home, Tatiana is, so we have all the free time in the world to look after your loved ones as well as exercise them, or not, whatever suits! As mentioned before, we have a fenced private garden for playtime, as well as great local parks minutes away. We can also discuss any special requests you might have, medicines, baths, etc. upon request if it is within time and manageable for us.
“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!”
“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 :)”
“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 ❤️”
“I highly recommend Emily! She was absolutely fantastic with my 2 year old cocker spaniel who was so excited to visit Emily every morning. Emily sent me pictures throughout the day and it was clear that Millie loved spending the day with Emily.”
“Fatima was a real delight. From the start, I could see how much affection she had for Ottie. They bonded really well and Ottie seemed to have loads of fun with Luna. Fatima was also really kind and flexible when I was caught out by London traffic, arriving a bit later than promised. I really appreciated her regular messages and photos, and her very positive and friendly attitude, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Many thanks, Fatima, I will definitely book again.”

“10/10 - Alexandra was friendly, responsive and did a great job with our 10 month old spaniel. She went above & beyond, ensuring that his muddy paws & lead were cleaned on return which was very much appreciated! Would book again without hesitation!”
“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: Hello, For a year, I had the unique opportunity to house-sit across London, caring for a variety of cats and dogs while their owners were away. From cosy city flats to family homes, each stay came with its own furry companions and routines. I have plenty of reviews on Trusted Housesitters. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and was fortunate to grow up surrounded by pets. Caring for them was a natural part of daily life, from feeding and walking them to making sure they felt safe and happy. I offer walks, day stays and overnight stays. I work as a freelance journalist at The Guardian and The Times. Freelance work gives me a flexible schedule, which means I can be highly reliable and available for pet care throughout the week. I am particularly available for morning dog walks and love starting this way. I work as a freelance journalist for The Guardian and The Times, and my workday typically begins in the afternoon, leaving my mornings free. To ensure I can provide reliable care and attention, I only take on pet-sitting assignments on days when I am working from home. This gives me the flexibility to visit pets at mealtimes, drop in for companionship, and maintain their usual routines throughout the day. For overnight stays, pets are welcomed into my comfortable two-bedroom flat, which benefits from a large communal garden and is just a short walk from London Fields park. I create a cosy space for dogs in the living room, where they can relax and enjoy watching the world go by from the balcony door—a pastime many seem to particularly enjoy. They also have their own dedicated food and water station in the kitchen. I make sure every pet receives plenty of companionship, affection, and exercise during their stay. Whether that's regular walks, time outdoors, play sessions, or simply lots of attention and cuddles, my aim is always to help them feel relaxed, secure, and at home while they're away from their owners.
“Biddy has been twice now with Daniele and has come back both times very happy and tired! She’s a high energy pup so am very pleased she’s getting the run around she needs. Daniele is very communicative and lovely! Highly recommend!”
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.
“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.”
“Pep loves Neil. Period. He has a ball every time Neil walks him with the rest of the pack. It's great for Pep's socialising and exercising. He comes back so tired after a long walk and run in nature that he sleeps most of the day through! Thank you Neil!”
“Mehak has been a godsend with my reactive rescue pup. I feel really safe leaving him with her and she is super reliable, which as a single dog mum who works in an office every day, makes my life so much easier and less stressful. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Maggie is so kind and caring with animals. She has a very calming aura about her and is clearly comfortable and natural with them. Candy loved Maggie from the start and is always happy to see her. Maggie is reliable, conscientious and flexible, I'd highly recommend her, thank you, Maggie!”

“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!”
About: Base it on this: I’ve grown up around dogs and previously lived with both a Chow Chow and a Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable caring for different breeds, sizes and personalities. I live close to several parks in Hackney, which is great for walks, and I also have a gated garden at the base of my flat for quick toilet breaks and fresh air. I’m also a big cat lover and regularly cat sit for a friend’s senior tabby, including feeding, playtime, cleaning litter trays, and giving them plenty of attention and company. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love having pets around. Please note: I only care for one household’s pets at a time, so your pet will always have my full attention. I work from home during the week, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, company and toilet breaks. I usually start work around 10am, take a long lunch between 12:30–2pm, and finish between 4:30–6pm, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care and outdoor time. I’m also available on weekends for boarding, daycare and walks. I live on Clapton Square and am close to lots of great green spaces including Hackney Downs, Millfields Park and Victoria Park. I provide a calm, safe and attentive environment for pets staying with me or visiting during the day. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and can have regular toilet breaks, walks and attention throughout the day. I’m based on Clapton Square with easy access to nearby parks for exercise. I always follow owners’ routines and preferences closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate use or training guidance, to help pets feel comfortable and settled.
“Lizzy was amazing, accommodating and so warm and welcoming. Balou had a wonderful stay and my mind was at ease with daily updates and photos. I will be using Lizzy again. Thank you so much Lizzy.”
“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”
“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.”
“Billie had a great stay with Darren overnight. He sent reassuring updates and gave us confidence that she was in good hands. We’d love Darren to take care of Billie again :) thank you!”
“My first time using Rover, or leaving my pet with someone. But Daphne and Tim made me feel at ease. I had my mothers funeral, which I needed to concentrate on, really tough times for me. I didn't have to worry about Maggie because they kept me updated with photos and how Maggie was getting on. Maggie seemed to enjoy her mini break which made me happy. Will definitely use them again in the future, and i 100% recommend them.”
“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! 🐾”
“Brian & his partner took such great care of our Diva whilst we were away on holiday. They sent regular pics and updates throughout the day which was v kind. They picked up and dropped Diva off to our home again which was also v appreciated. Wonderful dog sitters and we will book again!”
“Xiaoyi took great care of my cat during the boarding and made sure he eats well and sleeps well. Xiaoyi’s place has great view and sunshine for the cat to enjoy. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Craig was responsive to all communications. He sent me pictures during the weekend and daily updates. He suggested a meet and greet so Patatas and their dog Prinzesa could meet before in the park. Overall I'm very happy how they've taken care of Patatas and I will definitely book them again.”
“We were quite worried about leaving our dog, as he is very territorial and reactive, but Daryl was absolutely amazing with him. From the very beginning, Daryl showed patience, calmness, and a true understanding of our dog’s needs, which gave us complete peace of mind. Throughout the entire stay, we received regular updates and photos, which made us feel even more comfortable and confident. There’s no doubt that we’ll check Daryl’s availability again for our next vacation. Highly recommended!”
“Sidonie was great looking after Lenny (1.5 year old Labrador) whilst I was away for the weekend (3 nights). She provided all the walks, food, play, care and attention he required to make his stay as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend Sidonie for any dog sitting or boarding needs!”
“Rosalia is an amazing carer; it’s the first time we’ve left Gris with someone else for a whole day - as a rescued Galgo with a history of mistreatment, she takes a very long time to trust a new person. Gris really enjoyed playing with her dog in the backyard, and spent most of the time sleeping (a sign that she’s comfortable). We can’t thank Rosalia (and her family) enough. Truly a treasure. Best F&A”
“Katie and James took excellent care of our border collie with plenty of updates, flexibility around drop off and pick up times and proactive about getting to know Meeko so he was comfortable in their lovely home. We got Meeko back tired out from all his adventures and looking calm and content! Will definitely be back again if we need help with Meeko Care!”
“Matilda is awesome! We left our 3 month old cavapoo with her overnight and he had the best time. You can tell there is a genuine love and care for dogs. Matilda was great with Moby when we dropped him off which made us feel really comfortable and trusting as first time users of a sitter. Definitely our number one choice whenever we need help again. Couldn't recommend enough.”
About: We got our dog Nova in February and she is the sweetest. We train her well as she's going to be a big dog. She enjoys walks and food, and would love a companion to play with at home. About us: Magali grew up with 2 Bichons, and Max grew up with 3 yorkies and 1 American cocker. We provide a calm, loving home with plenty of walks, attention and structure. Open to all dogs that are house-trained, we have a potty on our balcony for dogs with extra needs. My partner works from home 2/3 time a week and I generally work from 1/2 a week. Weekends are generally a mix of walk around Hackney, gym, and relaxing time. We live in an apartment on the 4th floor with a secure balcony. There's a potty section for dogs with extra needs. The flat is secured since our dog was a puppy when we got her and we have an easy access to Victoria Park / Hackney Downs / London Field.
“Hope took really good care of my dachshund Basile! She and her partner are very reliable, communicative and clearly have a heart for dogs. I felt like I could trust her and she would be careful with Basile and make sure he had a good time. highly recommend interesting your dog to her!”
