“Gul was absolutely amazing. My husband and I traveled did two weeks and wanted our 5 month old kitten to be boarded so he would be alone too often at home. She was so patient with him, sent pictures everyday and gave him all the cuddles. I would highly recommend Gul to anyone looking for someone e caring and attentive to take care of their pet.”

About: Hi! My name is Auxtine. I love dogs and a long walk! I’ve grown up with dogs (and cats!) and am a dog sitter for friends and family.

I also live close to various parks so I can take them there for longer walks
“Marina and Thais are hands down our favourite people to take care of Kira. They are very loving, attentive and go out of their way in making Kira feel at home and totally pampered. Not only to they wash and brush her whenever needed, they also created bespoke treats and snacks with Kira’s name on it! Don’t know what else they could do better, to be honest. Kira is better taken care there than even at our home!”
“Sitting went very smooth. Adelina was kind and caring with Kika and Nico. Clear and prompt comms which is always very reassuring. Pups were very happy when I picked them up / thank you!”
“We left our doggy with Eszter for an afternoon and she was great! She communicated with us throughout the day, sent us pictures and followed all our instructions! Our doggy was also very happy, so we’d definitely recommend Eszter!”
“Angela was brilliant with Isla. As soon as we arrived it was obvious how much Angela loves dogs and how natural she is with them. I’d highly recommend Angela, and 100% woukd ask to book her again when we need.”
“Ash is really a small dog whisperer! My little one had such a great time with her and the pom gang, he was quite happy. I received photos during the day, and felt he was in safe hands. Also, Ash is super flexible, which makes unexpected life situations so much easier. Big recommendation!”
“Marnie had a very warm welcome! We were a bit worried as she was on some medication as she had a bad leg, but Talia and Josh were super supportive and so kind and lovely with her. Would highly recommend them, a safe and warm, loving home for a dog! Marnie didn’t want to come home when we picked her up she had such a great time! Xxx fully recommend”

He's trotted home tired and v happy - would definitely recommend.”

“Leo was so great with our Nairi, and took excellent care of her while we were gone for a long weekend. Lamu is also incredibly sweet and chill and Nairi got along superbly with him. We were really happy knowing that she was going to stay with another dog for some extra company and comfort. We received lots of cute updates, which was so lovely and reassuring, and most of all, Leo was so accommodating and flexible. Our flight was delayed on the day we were flying home and Leo was so kind about watching her for a bit longer than initially planned. Would highly recommend Leo and Lamu to anyone!”
“Every time I leave Bobert with Cosimo, I’m super relieved my puppy is in safe hands (also a little jealous of all the fun they have together!) My dog simply sprints towards Cosimo’s house every time we approach it, which for me is a sign that he definitely enjoys spending time there! Can’t recommend enough”

“We loved having Margaret sit for us as always, she is extraordinarily patient and understanding of a nervy cat who got lots of playtime. We hope she comes back soon!”
“Rachel was very professional, attentive and respectful. Immediately when we welcomed her for a short introduction, we noticed that she cares for the little details like taking off her shoes in the house without us even having to tell her. She followed the few instructions we gave her, and we felt Alfred was safe while we were away.”
“Claire was absolutely fantastic cat sitting for our two cats, Pim and Lola.

Would definitely have her again. Thank you Claire!!”

“I could not speak higher of Noa. She swooped in very last minute to care for my cats over Christmas as my cat sitter dropped out. I could not be happier for finding her. Noa’s communication is amazing, she boarded in my house and sent so many pictures and videos of my cats which made me feel so so at ease. Noa was so sweet, kind, and considerate of my space. I can’t wait to have her care for my babies again.”

Inside I have a spacious 1 bedroom flat. I allow small dogs on my lap/sofa.

I understand how important it is to give them attention, love, and a calm, safe environment.

“Marilena has looked after our cockapoo Finn on a number of occasions and is so great with him! She clearly loves dogs, showers him with attention and affection and sends us lots of photos of a very happy boy. Finn is always very excited to see her and spend time there and this gives us lots of peace of mind. Marilena is also very flexible with her times and scheduling which is much appreciated. Thank you!”

Also, she is a very easy communicator and was providing updates and photos of Bruno throughout the day. Will definitely be in touch with her in the future :)”

About: Hi there! My names Terri and I absolutely love dogs! I offer dog walking and doggie daycare so whether you are looking for someone to take your dog on a high- energy walk or a local, playful walk around the neighbourhood or look after them in my home giving lots of attention, cuddles and potty breaks I can help.

Communication is at the heart of my service so I am more than happy to provide updates, photos and reassurance throughout the booking so you can relax knowing that your furry friend is happy and in good hands.

In recent years I have taken care of family and friends dogs taking them on walks or looking after them while they are away on holiday. I’m friendly, reliable and 100% trustworthy and can’t wait to meet your four legged friend! Dog walking is my love and passion and I have given up my previous job so that I can devote all my time to fulfilling my passion and love for dogs therefore I am currently very flexible and available. I have a fenced off, secure garden. I have no other pets at the moment and a lot of time to devote to your dog.
“She was absolutely amazing. From the very start, she was punctual, incredibly communicative, and kept me consistently updated, which made the whole experience completely stress free. Mango is truly like my child, so trusting someone with him is not something I take lightly, but she made me feel completely at ease. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring.”
About: Hi! I'm Angela and I am a big dog lover. My partner John and I brought our lovable pup Monty home in June 2025. We raised him from a puppy and love him more than words can express. We know how important it is to find a safe and enriching stay for your dog. We'll make sure your pup feels loved and cared for while you are away from them. Prior to bringing Monty into our world, we carry 4 years of dog sitting experience. I work with a hybrid setup (3 days in office, 2 days at home) and my partner is fully remote. Someone will always be at home with the dogs. We are in a flat with a large enclosed terrace for quick romps outside (see in photos). Our dog Monty loves to run around there during the day. We have a large crate that Monty sleeps in sometimes, but we also can’t resist bringing him into our bed from time to time. We always walk with lead outside, however will follow whatever instructions you provide as you know best for your dog. Monty is very friendly and sociable. We would welcome an initial meeting, so you can feel confident that your pup will be comfortable in our home.
About: I’m mum to my little man Alvin - 2yr old Jackchi. I’d love to take care of your little one too and I’m sure Alvin would love the company. I’m flexible and able to adapt my routine depending on your dogs needs but in terms of the basics (regular walks, feeding, bedtime routine) I’m very experienced with this and will be sure to be on top of this. I’m open to a meet and greet service prior to boarding bookings if that helps you feel more comfortable! From looking after my neighbour’s dogs to now having my own - I couldn’t imagine my life without our furry friends! Hybrid working - I’m usually at the office Tuesdays & Thursdays then I work from home on the other days. However, I can shift my office days around depending on your needs. My dog has a crate in the bedroom and his own sofa in the living room to allow him to have his own private space. Please do bring along any equipment your dog needs to feel comfortable!
About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for my own golden retriever, from the time he was a puppy until his final years. Looking after him through every stage of his life taught me not only the daily routines, but also how to care for a senior dog with patience and attention. Two years ago, I rescued a stray dog (he is all black and very cute🥹) with a serious skin condition. I spent weeks giving him medicated baths, cleaning and treating his skin, and making sure he felt safe. He made a full recovery and was later adopted. I’ve also looked after friends’ cats and have spent a lot of time around both cats and dogs. I think what makes me different is that I pay close attention to animals and the signals they give. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful, nervous, independent or simply want some quiet company. I try to understand what they need. I’m naturally gentle and patient. I believe the time we share with animals is precious because their lives are much shorter than ours. So I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for while their family is away. I’m currently looking for a full-time job, so I have lots of free time at the moment. Until the end of September, pet care is pretty much my full-time job ;) I’m available most days and can give your pet plenty of attention and company. Every pet has their own personality, so I always like to get to know them first. I’ll adapt my approach depending on what they’re comfortable with and whether they have any special needs or routines. My goal is simply to make them feel safe and relaxed. I’ll make sure they have a clean and comfortable environment, fresh water, enough food (plus their favourite treats if they’re allowed!), and plenty of company while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 10 years old and was always involved in their daily care and routines from a very young age. Growing up around them helped me naturally understand dog behaviour, and how important consistency and affection are for them. A huge part of my childhood was growing up with two Dobermans and Great Danes, so I’ve always been around large dogs with strong personalities and lots of energy. They shaped me massively growing up and taught me responsibility, patience and confidence around dogs from an early age. Two years ago I got my own dachshund, Chef, who completely changed my life and made me feel even more connected to dogs. Having my own dog has given me much more hands on experience and helped me understand how much trust owners place in the person caring for their pet. Chef is my family, and I would treat any dog in my care with the same level of love and attention as I do with him. It’s also been lovely experiencing both sides of dog ownership, from growing up with big breeds to now having a smaller dog with his own funny personality. Over the last decade, living in different countries also gave me opportunities to do pet sitting and spend time caring for different dogs. I currently work in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility for pet sitting during the week and weekends. I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, supervision and making sure dogs feel happy and well looked after while their owners are away. I work in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility during the week and weekends for pet care. As a dachshund owner myself, I’m already used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime and making sure dogs feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. Creating a calm and safe environment for pets is very important to me. I always make sure dogs have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, exercise, attention and plenty of supervision. Having my own dachshund has taught me a lot about understanding dog behaviour, body language and routines. I would always treat someone else’s pet with the same level of care and patience as I do with my own dog.
“Erin was brilliant with our slightly nervous 3 month old puppy on her first few days with a sitter - Juno seemed v relaxed and happy and therefore so were we! Great communication and flexibility too. Thanks Erin.”
“Melanie was fantastic. After an injury, I was hesitant to leave Tommy but for the first time was able to have a stress free day. Melanie kept me informed through out the day with little updates and pictures. Thank you so much for taking care of Tommy!”
“We absolutely like Olivia! She has been looking after our doggie, Poppy, three days a week while we’re at work and we couldn’t be happier. She’s easy to communicate with, flexible and it’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to care for them. Poppy is always so excited to go to her house and comes home happy, which gives us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had them in my life. I have a Labrador puppy and have experience looking after other pets while owners are away. I’m confident with most breeds, including Labradors, Shih Tzus, Staffies and Pitbull types. I understand that every dog has their own personality, and I always take time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I live near large fenced dog parks, which is perfect for exercise and social time. My home is ground floor, also has fully fenced front, back and side gardens, providing plenty of secure outdoor space for dogs to relax and play. I’m happy to care for friendly dogs of all sizes and ages. My priority is always safety, routine and making sure your dog feels at home while you’re away I work from home and I’ve always had dogs around me. I make time every day for walks, play, feeding, etc. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with flexible times for boarding and day care. I’ll make sure your dog gets regular walks, toilet breaks and lots of attention throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. My home has fully fenced front, back and side gardens, so there’s plenty of secure space to play and explore safely. I live near large fenced dog parks, perfect for safe exercise.

I only care for friendly dogs to ensure a relaxed and happy environment for everyone. You’ll also get updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time

“Julia was really accommodating for a last minute walk request! She kept us updated throughout Bobo’s pick up and her walk and we really felt at ease. Would love to book her services again!!”
About: I am a lover of dogs in all shapes and sizes, and would love to have some furry friends to keep me company while I work or walk around Islington. I have always had family dogs, and had two dogs of my own until last year. I am a professional woman that works full time from home for a big tech company. I live in a 2nd floor apartment so if your pup has an issue with their knees it might not be the right fit. I am comfortable with young pups, older ladies and gents who need a bit of extra care and anyone in between. My own dog also had puppies in 2021, so I know how to care for the really little ones as well or pregnant dogs. I have not worked for a service like this before, but I have always cared for my own dogs and often dog sat for friends and family's pets. The dogs in my pics are a mix of my faves - the black and white pup is my mum's dog Turkish, and the others are little ones I've looked after or hung out with. I work full time from home, and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I work from 9-5, and work in the living room where there is a sofa for dogs to curl up on and plenty of room for us to play. Best availability is Monday to Friday, but can have some availability over the weekends depending on travel plans. The apartment is on the 2nd floor, I have hardwood floors throughout the apartment and a sofa that is pet friendly. There are no other pets in this building. I live round the corner from a square with a park in it and a 10 min walk from the apartment is Highbury Fields (a lovely big park to walk around).
“Rachel has been going on walks with Mila for a couple weeks now and she has been great. She’s super reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and Mila is always a happy dog after a walk with Rachel. Can highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Lauren to look after your pet. She was punctual, kind, friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and listened carefully to our description of Sparrow's requirements. The weather was scorching hot and Lauren adjusted Sparrow's walks accordingly, and made sure to take her for a cooling dip in the pond. We would definitely use Lauren again, thank you!”
“Cerys has been great in looking after Rudy! She is reliable, caring, well mannered, efficient, prompt and all in all a blessing! She even learnt a few Greek words that Rudy responds to better than English! Would strongly recommend her!!!”
About: I recently moved to London and miss having my family dog around, so would love to spend some of my free time taking local dogs on walks and giving them plenty of attention.

I’m currently searching for a new job and therefore have no schedule during the days, this allows me to be very flexible and available. I have a fenced garden with plenty of room to play around in and am also located nearby all the local parks / good walking routes.

About: I’m a student that is currently studying Level 3 Animal Care and Veterinary Nursing , I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 8 years old. Over the past 12 years, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy rescue dogs, and senior pets who need a bit more TLC. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love animals – you can trust me to care for your furry family members like they’re my own. I’m a student and athlete with a set training and class schedule, which makes my time super flexible for pet care.

Whether it’s a quick check-in or all-day companionship, I’ll make sure your pet is well looked after and loved.

About: Hi! I’m a true dog lover with years of experience caring for them. I currently have a 4-year-old rescue dog, and I’ve had dogs all my life, so I understand how important it is to give them love, patience, and proper care. I really enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and being in nature, so I’d be more than happy to share that time with your dog. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and personality. I understand that every dog is different. For example, my own dog isn’t very social with others, so I’m used to planning walks in quieter areas. At the same time, if your dog is sociable and enjoys playing with others, I’d love to take them to more lively spots where they can interact and have fun. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, just like at home! I’m currently completing a Master of Public Administration (MPA). I’ve already finished my classes and I’m now working on my final project, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility with my schedule. I live in a ground-floor apartment with a small garden, and there’s plenty of space inside the flat for dogs to move around. I also have a very calm dog named Mika, who has helped us train other dogs before
“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!”

“Arianna was instantly warm and energetic towards us and Puffin when we met and from talking to her, we felt very reassured that she also had safety in mind too. We were treated to lots of amusing gifs and photos of him throughout his stay so we could enjoy our time out knowing he was having a fab time! He's trotted home tired and v happy - would definitely recommend.”

“Leo was so great with our Nairi, and took excellent care of her while we were gone for a long weekend. Lamu is also incredibly sweet and chill and Nairi got along superbly with him. We were really happy knowing that she was going to stay with another dog for some extra company and comfort. We received lots of cute updates, which was so lovely and reassuring, and most of all, Leo was so accommodating and flexible. Our flight was delayed on the day we were flying home and Leo was so kind about watching her for a bit longer than initially planned. Would highly recommend Leo and Lamu to anyone!”
“Every time I leave Bobert with Cosimo, I’m super relieved my puppy is in safe hands (also a little jealous of all the fun they have together!) My dog simply sprints towards Cosimo’s house every time we approach it, which for me is a sign that he definitely enjoys spending time there! Can’t recommend enough”
“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: 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.
“My 5-month-old Maltese pup, Nena, stayed at Federica’s home for her second long stay. Having already experienced Federica’s tidy and quiet home, I knew it was the right fit for Nena. What worried me more this time was being away for so long and fearing she might feel lonely. However, seeing how easily she settled back in my home, full of her usual joy - is a true testament to the wonderful care my pup received. Federica’s updates throughout the stay were reassuring. She regularly shared photos and messages, so I never felt far from my pup. She even passed along some useful tips for handling her teething, played enrichment games and even learnt tricks. Another lovely highlight was seeing how much my pup bonded with Federica’s own dog, Elsie. I think having Elsie as a companion helped her feel extra comfortable and secure, and since she doesn’t have another dog in my home, it was wonderful for Nena to enjoy that furry friend while I was away. Federica is clearly passionate about what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter. I feel fortunate to have found her and look forward to booking with her again. Thank you, Federica, for looking after Nena so well; it’s been a pleasure knowing she could share this special stage of her puppyhood with you.”
“Jennifer and her family took such wonderful care of Dumpling. Seeing Dumpling playing with the kids in the videos was honestly one of the loveliest things I’ve ever seen! We’ll definitely book again next time. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Dumpling!”
“Would highly recommend Rasthy. He made our dog feel at home and made sure he was well looked after. We were anxious about leaving him for over a week as this is the longest time he has been away from us. Rasthy made us feel less anxious with daily photos, videos and updates. Would definitely book a stay with Rasthy again.”
About: I first had a dog when I was 12. I trained my dog, and cared for my dog until his senior age. I have always loved caring for dogs and have been doing so on/off until now. I'm currently working part-time and I have plenty of time to look after your cat. I am available full-day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays as well as weekends, and from 4pm on all Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays I have a quiet flat with plenty of space for your cat to play, I make sure there are no hazards and the windows and doors will be closed during all times. I can also assure you that your cat will be taken care of at all times in a loving home.
“Sid was absolutely amazing with our 4yo border terrier. She had him overnight at her place. She was so friendly when we were arranging it and dropping him off. Made us feel really at ease. She also sent some lovely updates while we were away and gave us a full update when we picked him up. Would absolutely leave him with Sid again in the future - perfect sitter!”
“Ronnie loved staying with Flor and her partner for his holidays. From meeting her you could tell she really knew what she was doing, asking questions about Ronnie to make sure she was the right match and that she knew what he needed. Ronnie felt instantly at ease with her and we got plenty of pictures and updates about all his walks and naps! Felt comfortable knowing he was being looked after so well. Ronnie looks forward to his next holiday with them!”
“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!”
“Rolo had a great weekend with lots of walks and adventures! Marilena was very meticulous about understanding his routine and what would make him comfortable. She invited us round to her place for a meet and greet so Rolo could explore ahead of his stay, and was super communicative (including sending lots of photos!) while Rolo was with her.”
“Craig and Donal are wonderful - professionals to the highest level. My dog loves staying with them and I feel easy and have a calm heart when they look after her. Thank you so much.”
“Megan was amazing!! Thank you so much - willow had the best weekend. Megan sent so many photos and kept me updated every day with what Willow was up to. I felt so happy and comfortable knowing she was in such safe hands. Couldn’t recommend Megan more!”
“Imogen was great! From the initial communication to meeting Percy and then him staying with her and her partner, we were reassured and knew she would take brilliant care of him. Imogen sent photos and updates throughout Percy's stay and he came back to us happy and calm. Would not hesitate in recommending Imogen and know Percy would be excited to stay with her again.”
“Leaving my old pup with Sascha was a great experience, especially considering that it was a somewhat short-notice request. She was able to flex with multiple dropoff delays, provided plemnty of updates herself, went out of her way to schedule and execute a grooming appointment, and was just generally super user-friendly to deal with, with no sketchiness of lack of communication. Highly recommended!”
