“Once again a great experience. This was Gracie’s third stay and she walked off very happily with her new friend. Jonathan kept us fully informed with texts and pictures and fitted in with our changing plans. Thoroughly recommended.”
“Paula and her family are fantastic dog lovers. Marcel was well looked after and I could see he was treated as part of the family. I would highly recommend Paula as a dog sitter. He was well looked after and I felt he was safe.”
“Xinyu was fantastic. She provided morning and evening pictures/videos/updates on how Olive was doing, so it was so reassuring to see her relaxing and going on nice walks on the river walk. Highly recommend her and her partner as loving sitters, and we’ll absolutely be using them again!”
“We had a great experience! Thank you for taking such good care of our dog. We really appreciated the updates and photos, and it was clear dogs were happy and well cared for. We would definitely book again!”
“Kelton had a great time with Giselle, he liked her from a few minutes into our Meet+Greet…he usually takes quite a while to get to know a person before he relaxes (he suffers with Anxiety) with them+allows them to make a fuss of him, so I was surprised when he let Giselle. I received regular updates during his stay with photos+videos, he was very happy+content staying with Giselle+I would be more than happy for Kelton to stay with her in the future. She is a really nice lady who clearly cares for the pets who stay with her, I would recommend her!!!”
“Simon was a fantastic dog sitter! My dog Cleo was really happy and well cared for, which gave me peace of mind. He was very flexible with scheduling, which made things so much easier. I’d definitely recommend Simon to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Bizhen was wonderful with my dog. Melvin loved staying with her and he was well cared for. She also kept me up to date with cute photos. I would absolutely book again. Thank you!”
“I have used Rover a few times before and my dogs have been well taken care of but this time with Negin it was exceptional! She was super nice to them and to me, she kept sending me lots of pictures and videos which made me happy and comfortable knowing they were happy. She is an amazing photographer as well and she sent me some Of the most beautiful pictures of my dogs ever ! The best part was seeing how my dogs loved her and her husband and were letting me know how grateful they were with them both for caring for them. I hope I can leave then there every time I need to. Thank you!”
“Tainá is one of the best dog sitters we’ve had! She is super friendly, followed all of the care instructions for Lily, sent lots of lovely photos and kept me updated at all times. Lily came back super happy and relaxed and in all the photos she looked extremely comfortable. Thank you so much and we’ll definitely return ❤️”
“Jennifer was amazing with Zoe! We were away for a while and she kept us updated with pictures from time to time, which gave us great peace of mind. When Zoe was refusing to eat, Jennifer even took the extra effort to hand-feed her. That level of care and dedication really stood out. Overall, we’re very happy with the love and attention Jennifer gave Zoe and would gladly trust her with our senior pup again!”
“Lucia looked after our dog Rufio while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She lives in a fantastic spot for dogs, with access to a secure, gated garden nearby where they can play and explore. Lucia and her family are incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Throughout Rufio’s stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s always quick to respond and made the whole process feel effortless. I truly can’t recommend Lucia highly enough — she’s amazing, and Rufio absolutely loved his time with her. It’s such a relief to know we’ve found someone we trust to care for him in the future. He already can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Paulina was amazing! She took great care of Ralph, and the whole experience was seamless. As slightly crazy dog parents, we really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave us so much peace of mind. Ralph looked very happy with her, and we’d happily book again. Highly recommend!”
“Nadia is super professional, and very loving with our dog Milo. He always has the best time with her and gets to play in the park or in the pool if the weather is hot. Nadia is also very aware of his special needs in terms of dietary requirements etc and looks very well after him. She is very knowledgeable about dogs so even if our Milo had any issues she would know what to do which gives us additional trust to leave him with her. We have booked Nadia now several times and are very happy - she’s been flexible and super helpful so we’ll keep booking her!”
“Matthew and Anri were absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and kept me updated with daily messages and photos, which reassured me that Spike was doing well. When I picked him up after my trip, he was visibly content, a true testament to the love and care he received during his stay. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Nikola is great! She is very trustworthy and experienced. My two dogs absolutely love her! Nikola gives frequent updates and sends lots of pictures and videos! She took the time to get to know each of my dogs and their individual needs. I will definitely book with Nikola again!”
About: I am another Saffa in London, and have looked after many dogs and cats from all over. With my boyfriend, Jordan, I can also provide that bit extra attention to your pet! Growing up with dachshunds, I have a particular adoration and knowledge on how to care for them and protect their backs. You can count on me to take an endless number of pics of your pet so that you feel like you never left! 📸 I work from home 3 days a week, but if necessary, can coordinate with my boyfriend to have someone home each day. I am active and would love to be outdoors whenever possible to accompany your pet or pets. I am adaptable and I’m comfortable setting up in your home whilst keeping tidy, to ensure I leave your home looking sparklier than when you left it!
“Thank you Deirdre for looking after our little man! Loved receiving the photo updates! Friendly & Professional - would love to book you again if you'll have him! Thanks :) Highly recommend”

She was the best! Constant updates ton of pictures my cats fill comfortable with her. If you want someone reliable book her! ”
About: Hello! I’m looking forward to giving your pets the absolute best care while you’re away. Animals have been a core part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve owned, loved, and cared for both dogs and cats since childhood. Having raised and owned dogs my entire life, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and set of needs. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch, structured leash walks, or just a lot of belly rubs on the couch, I adapt completely to their usual schedule to keep them stress-free. As a lifelong cat owner, I know that feline care is all about patience, respect, and reading their body language. Whether your cat is an extreme cuddler who loves company, or an independent spirit who prefers their space, I know how to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m meticulous about litter box maintenance and keeping their environment exactly how they like it. I’m also more than happy to engage them with their favorite feather wands or laser toys for some daily enrichment. I can't wait to meet your furry friends and send you plenty of photo updates!
About: Hello everyone, my name is Pam. I am someone who has been surrounded by animals all my life, mainly cats — hihi! 🐱 I have Joey (5years old), a lovely cat who lives with me in the Kensington area. Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is simply part of my daily routine. The world is run by them, and we are just their humble servants, haha! I know how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your furry family member (or members!). That is exactly why I joined cat-sitting — to help others travel and enjoy their time, knowing that someone at home is taking care of their cat with the same love and attention I give my own.
“We have used Hana to look after our two cats several times and every time she delivers exceptional service and gives us ultimate peace of mind while we are away. Our most recent booking one of our cats had a stomach bug that we needed her to pay special attention to while we were away. She did just that and we came back home to a happy healthy cat. Can’t recommend Hana enough!”
“Jimena was amazing, she took care of our cat and was able to apply medicine that she needed and even sent us videos and photos of how our cat was doing. We are very thankful and will certainly book again when needed, thanks a lot for all the help !”
“Veronica is amazing sitter! She got along with our nervous cat (who would normally hide from everyone) and kept him well feed and entertained while we have been away. She is so much caring and gentle, so even our very difficult to manage cat was such a nice boy with her! Thank you! Definitely would recommend!”
“Morgan did a wonderful job looking after Cosmo including lots of playing and entertaining for a very energetic kitten! Also took great care of the house and left everything clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.”
“Matilda was absolutely fantastic looking after my cat. Her communication was exceptional throughout, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. She spent plenty of quality time playing with him, keeping him entertained, and made sure he received lots of much-needed cuddles and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his wellbeing, and he had the best time with her. I highly recommend Matilda to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive cat sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I grew up with four cats, and have loved them my whole life. I’ve taken odd jobs cat-sitting for friends and family over the years, but most recently was hired via Cat in a Flat to look after a sweet older cat, feeding him twice a day and administering him medicine in his food.
“Beatriz was very communicative and arrived well in time to hand over. The cats were very happy and calm and I received detailed updates as well as photos and videos, which was great. Beatriz also helped with a situation at home, monitoring an issue that arose just before I left, which I was really grateful for, and my home was exactly as I left it on my return. Thank you!”
“Cassandre responded to my booking request very quickly. She was extremely polite during all our conversations. Cassandre visited my cat twice. He looked good and was not stressed upon my return. A big thank you for taking care of him!”

“Ira has been amazing taking care of Chelsea, she is always so excite to see her when I drop her off! Ira is very prompt with messages, great with routine updates and very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend her services and I definitely will continue to book her in the future.”

About: Hello! I have always loved being around animals, I have had dogs, cats, chickens and unfortunately since I moved to the UK with university and work, I did not have as much time as before to be around them, and dogs in particular have a special place in my heart. Spending time with them, understanding their personalities, and giving them the attention they need is something I genuinely enjoy. Becoming a pet sitter allows me to combine that passion with the opportunity to help owners feel confident and relaxed when they need someone responsible to look after their pets. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is always to offer a calm, safe and affectionate environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I work from home most of the week, which means I am around and able to give plenty of attention to your pet throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule, so weekdays and weekends both work well for me. Whether it's cuddles, company, or regular walks your dog will never feel left alone or overlooked. I will make sure they're well cared for and happy! My flat is calm and suitable for short daytime care, however I do not have a garden and I share the flat with flatmates. Because of that, I am very flexible and can happily come to your home as well, if your dog needs more space of feels better in a familiar environment. I'll always choose the option the keeps your pet relaxed and well looked after.
“Veronica was incredibly attentive to my dog. It was the first time he stayed with her and I was reassured throughout the whole day with updates via pics and messages. He was very happy when I picked him up and almost didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend Veronica - thank you”
About: Growing up caring for my own pets and those of friends and neighbours, dogs have always been a big part of my life. From owning and looking after Poodle mixes, South African mastiffs, a German Shepherd boy, a family of cats, to more recently raising a vivacious (!) Husky boy from 10 weeks old. I provide the same level of attention, affection, and responsibility to your furbaby as I’d expect for my own. I currently do not live with any pets, so your pooch will have the space to themselves :) Alongside walks I'm experienced in feeding, cleaning up, and ensuring dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels feel comfortable, engaged and well cared for while their owners are away. I also hold a DBS check and Pet Business Insurance. Taking a career break from my time in the City where I looked after clients in finance, I now provide that same level of professionalism and care to the real love of my life; our four legged family members. I offer walks, drop in visits, daycare (in your home or mine), pick up & drop off to vet/groomers, medication administration, puppy & senior dog care. I am professional, trustworthy and discreet. My home has an enclosed garden and air conditioning to keep your pooch cool in the summer months. My services are tailored to each client; whether that's how and where we walk and play, understanding temperament and body language to adjust interactions, and using appropriate stimuli to keep pups engaged. I'm available in Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, Hammersmith and Wandsworth.
“Matthew and Anri are both lovely! They agreed to meet us before we booked daycare for our dog Albus to ensure everyone got along and clearly know what they’re doing with dogs of their own back home so we knew Albus would be in good hands. They were extremely responsive in the lead up to meet / as well as in arranging daycare. They sent updates throughout the day when we asked for them and we could tell Albus had a great time when he got home since he was exhausted and calm. Would highly recommend them as sitters and we will be using them again in the near future!”
About: I grew up with labradors and collies but have always been a lover of all dog breeds. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their dogs as and when needed. I work full time (half the time from home) but I'm around in the mornings / evenings and weekends as well to care for your dog when needed. I have a fenced yard at my home but I'm more open to sitting at the owners house. I'm a tidy trustworthy guy who will respect your home like my own.
“I recently moved to the neighborhood and started a new office job after 2 years of working from home! I came across Madison’s profile nearby and we met for a meet & greet in the park. I was pleased to hear about her long experience with multiple dogs growing up. She is the good-natured, dog-loving and truly caring sitter I hoped I would find near me! I also received photo updates regularly and she is very responsive in communication. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve looked after animals since I was a teenager. I grew up with four cats and a dog, and would also often look after a family-friend’s senior dog, feeding him and administering him insulin shots. More recently, I lived with a friend and her three- year-old sprocker, and would look after him regularly, sometimes up to 5 days straight. I work from home every day but Tuesdays, so my schedule is very flexible for looking after pets. My weekends are usually spent in the city, and I enjoy going to local parks as part of my daily routine. While I don’t have a garden, there is plenty of space in my flat for your pet to lounge around, and I’m within walking distance of some beautiful parks in West London. I make sure to take the utmost care of anyone’s home while I’m there, and will do my best to ensure your pet feels safe, happy and relaxed in my care.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and we now have our own gentle, loving Cavapoo…so daily dog care is second nature to me. (Dog does not currently live with me). From stimulating walks and positive reinforcement to managing routines and giving plenty of affection, I am confident with dogs and understand what they need to settle in new environments. I am used to creating a safe, cosy, well-supervised home where dogs feel relaxed and secure. I live in a quiet one bedroom flat in Fulham with a small patio and plenty of residential walks within 10 minutes including local parks and the river Thames. I work remotely and am not often out of the home for longer than short periods meaning your dog will always have consistent company. I’m currently working flexible hours from home and often only at my laptop for a couple of hours at a time, meaning your pet will always receive consistent attention and company. I am out of the house for short periods to run errands locally and go to the gym. I have a fenced patio and live in a ground floor flat with a locked gate in front of my front door meaning your dog will always be safe. I have experience with crate trained dogs and am used to providing a cosy, secure space for them to retreat to after a busy day of walking and cuddles!
About: Have grown up with animals, and currently have two labradors in the family. One of my best friends is also a very experienced and successful dog trainer, so have learned a lot from her skill set. Self-employed and work in the creative arts, so have a very flexible timetable. Also live next to two tube stations, so I can get around very quickly and easily. Absolutely adore animals. I have two labradors back home at the family place in the countryside. Care for pets with attention, love and a playful nature.
“Doria is so fantastic with our pup. She is very responsive and available. Doria is really kind and clearly knowledgable about dogs meaning that we can truly trust her and we know that our dog will be well looked after.”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of looking after a sweet Labrador lady since she was a puppy and regularly care for other dogs of all breeds — from bouncy Italian greyhound to calm couch companions. Whether it’s a quick visit or a full walk, I tailor my care to suit each dog’s unique needs, energy, and personality. No one-size-fits-all — just thoughtful, loving companionship. I’m currently focusing on solo dog walks and drop-in visits within a 1-mile walking radius of Hammersmith & Fulham. My midday availability (11am–3pm, Mon–Fri) fits perfectly for dogs needing a comfort break, feeding, playtime, or structured outdoor time while you’re at work or away. All visits are on foot, and I only take on dogs I can give undivided attention. With me there are no vans, crates, or rushed group outings. I live in a spacious house with a secure fenced garden, so if I’ve previously hosted your pet, you’ll know the space is calm, safe, and dog-friendly. That said, I’ve currently paused all overnight stays and daycare to ensure I can give my best energy to walks and pop-ins only. This way, your dog gets my full attention during our time together.
“Valeria and Cleo were the perfect doggy day care hosts for Caju 🤩. Valeria’s communication was amazing throughout the day updating us with photos and letting us know what Caju had been up to. Valeria also went above and beyond by offering to do some training with Caju, and also set up a mental stimulation toy for Caju and Cleo to play with together. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Valeria again!”
About: I have always had pets growing up. I now own an amazing miniature dachshund. I work from home full time. My husband, Chris loves dogs too! I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m committed to following your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry baby is in good hands. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work from home full time therefore I can adapt to your baby’s routine easily and will follow your instructions. In this heat, I would take your baby for a nice walk in the evening (or the park to play with the ball!). I have a miniature dachshund so your dog would have a companion. My dog is very playful therefore would enjoy to have a friend with him.
About: With a lifetime of pet companionship spanning different countries, my love for animals knows no bounds. After spending the past couple of years in the vibrant heart of London, I've embraced the freedom of working from home, cherishing every moment with my beloved canine companion, Bruce. In our cozy abode, when we're not off exploring the world, we relish the company of fellow furry friends. Sharing our home means providing a warm, loving environment where your precious pup can feel right at home. So, when you're away, rest assured that your four-legged family member will be showered with attention, care, and a whole lot of tail-wagging fun. Our dog-sitting service seamlessly integrates into my flexible working schedule, making it an ideal choice for both you and your furry friend. Working from home in the bustling city of London has afforded me the unique opportunity to be there for my little boy, Bruce, as well as for the pets I have the pleasure of hosting. During the day, while I attend to my professional responsibilities, your canine companion will have the company of Bruce and me. Regular breaks and a pet-friendly workspace mean that your dog will receive the attention and care they deserve. We'll ensure that playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks are thoughtfully scheduled throughout the day, so your pup stays happy and engaged. Whether it's a midday stroll in the nearby park or a cozy snuggle session during a virtual meeting, our dog-sitting service is designed to provide a harmonious blend of work and pet care. Your dog becomes an integral part of our daily routine, receiving all the love and care they need while you go about your busy day with peace of mind. dogs are on the lead unless otherwise requested, able to go on regular walks and the dogs wouldn't be left alone in the flat at all and walked regularly
“Chloe has looked after Birdie twice now for a full day, both times she’s been happy and calm! Gets play and snuggles, and a walk. Chloe herself is super lovely. Really happy to have found someone relaxed and caring for Birdie on a regular basis.”
“I was a bit nervous about pet sitting as it was the first time Dinah had had a sitter. Victoria put my mind at ease as when she came to pick up Dinah, I could see that she was very good with dogs. she provided some photos of Dinah during the visit, unfortunately I didn’t get them because we were at the theatre so my phone was turned off, obviously not anything Victoria did wrong! This is the first time I had used Rover so I was not very good at getting back with her but everything worked out fine and when I went to pick up Dinah she was calm and content. Now that I have discovered Victoria when we come up to London, I am sure I will use her again.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a dedicated cat owner, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. My experience includes daily care routines, administering basic medications, supporting senior pets, and providing calm, gentle companionship for shy or anxious animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pets’ routines consistent so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping homes tidy and well-cared for, giving you peace of mind about both your pets and your space. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule visits around my shifts and make time for feeding, play, cleaning, and check-ins without rushing. My flexible hours allow me to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines, whether that’s morning care, midday visits, or evening attention. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and secure. I’m mindful about doors, windows, and any hazards, and I always double-check that pets are fed, comfortable, and in a clean environment. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. In my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with safe play areas and close supervision, especially for young or curious cats. My priority is making sure every pet feels comfortable, protected, and well-cared for at all times.
“Lorna helped me out at short notice and was brilliant. She’s an excellent communicator, reliable and clearly very good with dogs. She’s walked him a few times now and I’ll definitely be asking her to walk him more regularly. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve have had pets since i was born, 2 cats, 4 dogs, guinea pigs, fish, rabbit and gerbils. I especially enjoyed walking my dogs and taking care of them, i’ve also walked dogs for family and friends many times over the years. However, since moving away from and not being able to get a pet of my own i desperately miss the company of my furry friends and i would love to put some of my energy into walking some dogs that need it. I currently work part-time, Monday to Thursday. Therefore i am free Friday, Saturday and Sunday and i am very flexible on those days. My schedule will be like this until the end of August. I do not offer care for pets in my home since it is rented and they do not allow pets here unfortunately. I would be open to care for pets in the owners home if that situation arises.
“Karina is simply brilliant. It is our first time using Rover and Karina not only helped us through the app and features, she looked after our Beagle wonderfully - we had photos, regular updates and communications pre-, during, and after the walks. She fed Penny lunch and gave meds, and we came home to a waggy tail. We have no hesitation in recommending Karina and we have engaged her to help us going forward.”
“Jaewon and Sangyoon are very friendly and reliable. Ottie has been walked by them twice and we are looking forward to them caring for her when we are away on holiday.”

“Thank you so much for walking and looking after Trixie multiple times a week, I feel so at ease knowing that she has you to walk her at lunch times, and Trixie really looks forward to seeing you.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I have trained 3 of my dogs to be working Labradors and brought up my lab from when she was a puppy. I have recently rescued 2 dogs in Kenya who live with my mum at home. I work 9-5:30 but I get to work from home once a week so I can house and pet sit then. I would love to walk your pet after 5:30 for however long you would like. I have a lifetime experience of pet care from horses to rescuing two dogs of my own. I am reliable and tuned in. I am trustworthy and dogs like me.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. My mum is a Kennel Club registered *ethical!* breeder so I’ve grown up helping to raise puppies from birth, and am very confident caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. As someone whose dogs are their life, moving to London and away from my family pets has meant I am very much missing doggy cuddles. I currently work hybrid hours so I’m only in the office Tuesday to Thursday and then around for dog care the rest of the time. I have an enclosed non-shared yard (full height walls) that dogs can have free access to, and a larger shared outside area that they can spend supervised time in.
“Cassandre was a wonderful walker! So confident which made Maple feel even more comfortable, and really excited about the walk. Will definitely be working with Cassandre again :)”
“Gahae has been absolutely incredible taking our little Yorkshire Terrier out for walks while we have been away in the office during the day. Our little one just moved all the way from Norway the day before Gahae first met her and has as such been a little bit nervous about her new environment - but Gahae has done so well with her and been so patient and kind. We highly appreciate all the communication we receive throughout and you can tell Gahae truly cares about these little creatures. We will continue using her for as long as we can! 👍🏼👍🏼🫶🏻”
“Matilda was so lovely, really quick to respond. Followed pet care instructions to a T and made sure Wolfe was comfortable with her. 100% rebooking with her, felt very safe leaving my dog with her.”

About my Drop-in Visits My drop-in visits are calm, reliable, and fully focused on your dog’s wellbeing. During a 60-minute visit, I make sure your dog is fed, exercised if needed, played with, and given proper attention and affection. For safety and quality of care, I look after no more than two dogs at the same time. This allows me to give each dog proper supervision, attention, and a stress-free experience. I take my responsibility seriously, especially when caring for multiple dogs, which is why my pricing reflects the time, care, and safety I provide. I’m happy to support regular clients and long-term bookings where possible. I have a part-time job, so I’m free in the morning and sometimes afternoon and on weekends. I’ll have lots of time to take care of your pets and give them love and attention. Happy to provide regular daycare for repeat dogs I’d be very happy to take your dog out for daily walks and make sure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or at the owner’s place, I keep the environment clean, calm, and full of care. I follow all routines closely and give each pet the attention they need to feel secure and relaxed. Maximum of two dogs cared for at any one time to ensure quality and individual attention
“Francesca has been amazing over the course of 3 weeks she looked after Toby in a loving and caring way. Always punctual and communicative. She has been very informative in every occasion with loads of pictures. I’ll definitely book her again and totally recommend her services. Thank you Francesca! x”
“Emily & Will were fantastic with our wee Winston. We needed a sitter at very short notice, and they were incredibly accommodating. They looked after him as if he were their own, which gave us real peace of mind. We’re so happy with their care and will definitely be using them again in the future.”
About: Hi there! I’m Jen, your go-to pet sitter based in West London. Whether it’s strolls through the park, cosy cuddles on the couch, or just a bit of extra TLC while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved. As a lifelong animal lover… dog, cat and horse girl with a big soft spot for fur babies of all shapes and sizes, I treat every pet like part of the family. I am currently on maternity leave so I have plenty of flexibility. As long as your pet is baby friendly, they will get lots of attention and cuddles, whether it’s regular walks or just hanging out by my side. For overnight stays, your pet will be comfy, cosy and made to feel completely at home. My ground floor flat has a large step-out terrace and an open plan home for roaming. I have plenty of space for small to medium pups and also ideal for cats. There are no escape routes and there’s plenty of light and fresh air. I also love cuddles on the couch if your pet cuddles back.

“Paula and her family are fantastic dog lovers. Marcel was well looked after and I could see he was treated as part of the family. I would highly recommend Paula as a dog sitter. He was well looked after and I felt he was safe.”
“Xinyu was fantastic. She provided morning and evening pictures/videos/updates on how Olive was doing, so it was so reassuring to see her relaxing and going on nice walks on the river walk. Highly recommend her and her partner as loving sitters, and we’ll absolutely be using them again!”
“Jennifer was amazing with Zoe! We were away for a while and she kept us updated with pictures from time to time, which gave us great peace of mind. When Zoe was refusing to eat, Jennifer even took the extra effort to hand-feed her. That level of care and dedication really stood out. Overall, we’re very happy with the love and attention Jennifer gave Zoe and would gladly trust her with our senior pup again!”
“Lucia looked after our dog Rufio while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She lives in a fantastic spot for dogs, with access to a secure, gated garden nearby where they can play and explore. Lucia and her family are incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Throughout Rufio’s stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s always quick to respond and made the whole process feel effortless. I truly can’t recommend Lucia highly enough — she’s amazing, and Rufio absolutely loved his time with her. It’s such a relief to know we’ve found someone we trust to care for him in the future. He already can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Cappie had the best time with Martina and her partner! It was Cappie’s first time meeting them and when I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave. He was treated to fun car rides, walks along the Thames (where he found crunchy sticks-his favorite), snuggles on the couch, pub visits and he even went to the Christmas market in Windsor! Lucky dog! Martina kept me updated the whole time and sent cute photos and videos. She told me he was settled in, comfortable, adjusting well — these were all the things I wanted to ask about but didn’t want to seem like an overprotective dog mom! But Martina knew what I needed to hear! I will definitely ask her to take care of him again. She has a comfortable home for dogs and even had a basket of stuffies which Cappie happily enjoyed!”
About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a teenager, and I have always formed a very special bond with them. We tend to become attached at the hip! I have also looked after small and medium-sized dogs for family and friends. I have always been the one responsible for training our family dogs, and I believe strongly in positive reinforcement. Dogs do not respond well to raised voices or anger, so I use treats, patience, positive and reassuring energy, a calm and gentle voice, and plenty of affection. I make sure to praise them enthusiastically as soon as they turn their attention towards me and respond to a cue. My current dog, Oli, is two years old and has been with me for over a year and a half. He is very sweet and friendly, and we both love having company! From past experience, Oli gets along well with dogs with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. After some playtime, they usually settle down and relax together. I work from home part-time, have a large garden, and live just a few minutes from the parks and the riverside, which are perfect for walks and outdoor time. I am flexible when it comes to the number and duration of walks and will adapt to your dog’s usual routine and needs. Oli and I usually go on one or two walks of around an hour each day, and when the weather allows, we try to spend as much time outdoors as possible. During hot weather, we move our walks to the early morning and late evening. Thanks to the shade provided by the taller buildings surrounding the garden, we can still step outside several times during the day to play, stretch our legs or simply relax together. If your dog has any special needs or requirements, I am happy to accommodate them wherever possible. The flat is also spacious enough to give Oli and your dog their own dedicated areas if either of them needs some quiet time or a break. I am also happy to bathe or groom your dog when needed, following your instructions and their usual routine. I work from home part-time, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. I will follow their usual feeding, walking and rest routine as closely as possible, including any medication or special requirements you tell me about. A typical day includes a morning garden break, followed by a walk around Ravenscourt Park or along the riverside. During the day, the dogs can play or relax in the garden, while the flat is spacious enough to give them separate quiet areas whenever they need a break. Oli and I usually go on one or two walks of around an hour each day, but I am flexible and will adjust the number, duration and pace of walks to suit your dog. During hot weather, longer walks take place early in the morning or later in the evening. You can expect plenty of affection, playtime, rest and positive reinforcement, as well as regular photo and message updates so you know how your dog is getting on. I have a large, fully enclosed private garden with walls and fencing on all sides, and I am the only person with access to it. There are no plants that are dangerous to dogs, and there is plenty of space to play fetch, explore and, in Oli’s case, occasionally dig a small hole. The garden connects directly to the daytime living area where I work, so I can see it clearly and stay close to the dogs at all times. On walks, I can use secure fenced areas where dogs can run freely or keep them on the lead. I also know several quiet routes with long stretches away from traffic where Oli can safely be off-lead. Until I know your dog well, however, I will keep them either on the lead or within a securely fenced area. Oli and I also go running occasionally, and your dog would be welcome to join us if they enjoy running and need extra exercise.
“Phoebe did a great job watching our dog Sully! 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again! She was very professional and gave us daily updates with photos, Sully had a great time and really enjoyed his stay with Phoebe”
“Cannot recommend Valentina and Gabriel more! They are really flexible and very responsive. I got regular updates and lots of pics. Pretzy had her best time with the sweet Archie boy. I’m so glad that Pretzy found a friend that matches her energy 😝 Would definitely come back!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them genuinely comes naturally to me. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic Belgian Shepherds to smaller companion breeds, and I’ve had hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and adapting care to each dog’s individual needs. I currently have my own six-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Blue, who I’ve raised and trained since he was a puppy. Training, routine, positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s personality are really important to me, and I love building trust and confidence with every dog I look after. I work with a flexible schedule, which means I can provide plenty of attention, companionship and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t simply be left alone while I’m out at work—they’ll be treated as part of the family and cared for as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply a calm and relaxed environment, I’m happy to tailor their stay to suit their routine. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you completely trust, and I’ll always keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you know they’re happy, safe and having a great time. I understand that every dog is different. Before every booking I take the time to learn about your dog’s routine, personality, favourite activities and anything that helps them feel comfortable. My aim is to make their stay feel like a second home rather than simply somewhere they’re being looked after. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Blue, is six years old and has a lovely, friendly temperament. He enjoys the company of other dogs, and I always introduce dogs gradually to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy. I am a professional who work flexibly from home, and my partner also regularly works from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. We can easily work around your dog’s usual routine, including walks, feeding times, toilet breaks and any medication they may need. I only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to, ensuring every dog receives the care, exercise and affection they deserve. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. We live in a spacious three-bedroom flat with plenty of room to relax, along with a secure, gated communal garden for safe outdoor time. We’re also just a short walk from several fantastic green spaces, including Holland Park and Kensington Gardens, where I regularly walk my own dog, Blue. Every dog is treated as part of the family while they’re with us. I take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs so they feel comfortable and settled from the moment they arrive. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs and those requiring medication, and I’m confident adapting my care to suit each individual dog. I’ll also keep you updated throughout your dog’s stay with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and in caring hands.
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Anita! She looked after our dog, Frankie, for ten days while we were away, and she was absolutely brilliant. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs. Frankie was clearly well-loved and well-exercised, and we were able to enjoy our holiday with total peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. We’ll definitely be asking Anita to watch him again”
“Cannot recommend Fernando enough! Gave our dog brilliant care, attention & fuss. Great communication throughout and felt so relaxed leaving our dog with him! Woody is an absolute sweetheart!”
“Our retriever had a great time with Chiara! She is super responsible, we had detailed reports several times a day including giving pills and eardrops. Communication was pleasant and easy-going, we’ll be happy to leave our dog with Chiara again!”
“Jacobo was great with Hermes, he kept us updated, provided pictures and clearly had a great time playing with and walking Hermes. We will definitely be booking again and couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our dog Beans! She was so happy with you and your partner, and she came back definitely having lost half a kilo (def needed) with all the walks and not having toddlers constantly treat her. Thank you so much!”
“Francini was a wonderful sitter. Great communication, confident with my dog and giving medication , made the whole experience easy for us . Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook , Django came back happy and looked after . Thank you Francini!”
“Wiktoria was an amazing host for our dog and cat!! She took great care of our animals, and was especially attentive to the needs of our nervous dog. She and her partner also made sure our cat was kept happy by giving him plenty of attention and by letting him enjoy his favorite pastime of walking outdoors on a leash! Our pets came back very happy and relaxed 😊. We hope to book with her again soon!”
