“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 ❤️”
“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!”
“Great experience having our elderly dog looked after by Jonathan. Regular updates were provided and fantastic care and attention was taken to look after our dog’s needs.”
“Melisa was great with Amara. Very good at communicating with and took her time to introduce herself to me. Her knowledge of cats seems to be great as she seems to understand cat behavior well. Amara returned to us very calm and happy. Will definitely be asking Melisa to look after Amara again.”
“Zi Jia was an amazing sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She provided a ton of picture updates throughout the stay and asked thoughtful questions. Olive had a great time. Thanks again :-)”
“Anna and Philip were very loving with Binky , they sent lots of photos , and were very quick to respond . They took Binky on very nice walks to different parks . When we collected her , she smelled very fresh, and was very clean, so they took very good care of her”
“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.”
“Chiara and her partner Marco are some of the BEST dog sitters we’ve had! They went above and beyond to take my little guy to a beautiful forest and did a circular hike! They did regular walks and had lots of park time including a trip to the pub. My guy is very social and he enjoys meeting people and saying hello so he loved pub time! Chiara sent me regular updates and beautiful photos. I hope they will watch my guy again because we are definitely going to ask!! Highly recommend Chiara if you need a caring, attentive and responsive dog sitter. I’m so happy I found 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.”
“Jennifer and her family were absolutely lovely! They were so kind and sweet to my little boy. They’re incredibly responsive and provide regular updates. I can’t wait to have them watch benji again. I would highly recommend!!”
“I cannot recommend Alice more highly! I regularly leave Janosch with sitters and some just really stand out - Alice is one of them. She was flexible, friendly and kind, carefully listening and attending to his needs, and she kept me regularly updated with pictures and messages. He seemed immediately at ease with her and enjoyed many cuddles, walk and attention. Really put my mind to peace while I was away on a business trip. Thanks, Alice!”
“Emily and her bf were amazing petsitters. They kept me updated regularly and often, which gave peace of mind. They also had no trouble giving Luna all of her medications and took excellent care of her. It was obvious Luna was happy, relaxed, and felt completely at home. Also Luna is usually quite selective with other dogs and doesn't warm up to them easily, so I was impressed that by the 2. day she was trying to play with their adorable dog I will definitely leave Luna them again in the future, and I highly recommend her. Thank you again for taking such good care of Luna!”
“Uno enjoyed his stay with the lovely couple! They went for daily walks and sent lots of pics for us to feel close to Uno. Really appreciate the honesty of George & Venia, which is one of the most important things. Thank you!!”
“Sarah was amazing! She was super communicative with me from the moment I booked through when I picked my dog back up-but more importantly, she went above and beyond expectations on making sure my dog had fun, got plenty of exercise and felt at home with her. 10/10 recommend.”
“Elizaveta was fantastic! She was great with our dog and provided regular updates and photos. After a scheduling error on my end, she was more than accommodating and went above and beyond. We will definitely be booking her again. Couldn't be happier!”
“Theo is a repeat customer. He gets very excited when he sees Honey and I can tell he genuinely likes her and is having fun with her. She keeps me updated with pictures and messages and I can see how happy Theo is with her. We will continue to use her and have always had excellent experiences.”
“Amazing dog sitter!! Nikola kept me updated the entire stay with photos and videos. She made my dog feel comfortable and loved. We can not thank her enough! I would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!”
“Klaudia is an excellent carer for Donna. Donna always has a wonderful time with her and enjoys meeting many dog friends. Klaudia also administers Donna’s medication and takes great care of her ears and eyes. Under Klaudia’s care, Donna is healthy, happy, and well looked after. Donna enjoys plenty of walks in the park, and Klaudia regularly sends photo and video updates, allowing me to see how well Donna is doing. She also responds to my messages very promptly and is extremely reliable and responsible.I would highly recommend her to everyone.”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was always timely and attentive to our cat’s needs. Completed check in reports each time and shared pictures of Birdie. We knew Birdie was in safe hands with Sarah and will definitely use her again 😊 Definitely recommend Sarah to everyone!”
About: Hi there! My name is Angel. I’m also a cat mum, so I genuinely understand how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone new. I’ve been looking after friends’ cats for years whenever they travel, so I’m very used to different personalities, from super independent, shy cats who just want food and space, to playful ones who want company and playtime (and everything in between). I work from home and I’m a non-smoker, so I’m reliable and flexible with visits. I’ll always treat your home with care and respect, like I would my own. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your cat, so I’ll always send clear updates and photos so you can actually relax while you’re away instead of worrying. Honestly, I just really love cats and enjoy getting to know each one’s little quirks, whether that’s slow blinks from a distance or eventually becoming best friends. I’d love to meet you and your cat and see if we’re a good fit!
““Douglas was an amazing cat sitter! While we were away for three weeks he took excellent care of our cats, Olympus and Riga. They were happy, well fed and everything was perfect. I highly recommend Douglas!”
“Sema was absolutely amazing with my three cats while I was away! She sent me photos and updates every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well looked after. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and clearly really loves animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”
“Juan has been amazing, super responsive, always on time, and did such a good job for our little Skippy! We got so many timely updates and really made a difference when we were away, knowing that we can count on Juan. Will definitely book him again if he’s free.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals on my family farm since I remember myself. I work in biotech (genomics) remotely and live alone so it will be nice to have a cat companion. I used to cat sit with Rover in the past when I was living in Canada, but moving to the UK it was needed to create a new account to change location .
About: Hi there! 🤗 I’m Chinese and grew up in Austria 🏔️ surrounded by animals. Although, unlike in The Sound of Music 🎶, my childhood companions were guinea pigs rather than a troupe of singing children. My parents never allowed me to have dogs or cats, so I made up for it by spending as much time as possible with my friends’ pets. I now have experience looking after ginger cats, although I’m fond of cats of every colour! I will follow your instructions carefully, and I’ll send you regular updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for.
“Cecily was wonderful! She was so friendly and responsive. You can tell she clearly loves dogs and I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her! She took the cutest pictures and made sure to update me with everything. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Jaewon and Yoon are absolutely amazing! It’s the first time we left our cat with someone and they made our experience so comfortable. They sent us updates and kept us informed. Our cat had the best time. They really love animals and took great care of our kitten. Thank you!”
“Bridget was the best caretaker I could’ve asked for for my sweet cat, Elsa. She sent the best daily updates and was so flexible with timing. Can’t recommend her enough :)”
“Alice is the best!! She took such good care of my 10 month old puppy Holly! She is such a good communicator and I trust her. I highly recommend booking with Alice, your pet will be in good hands!”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of genuine care and attention I give to every dog I look after. I treat every dog like my own — taking the time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy learning the ropes or a senior dog who needs a gentler touch, I provide tailored care to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m confident managing everything from energetic walks to calm cuddle sessions. I also focus on keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know your dog is in good hands. With reliability, trust, and compassion at the heart of everything I do, my goal is to make every dog feel at home — and every owner feel completely at ease Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life — it’s not just a job, it’s what I love doing! My days are structured around walks, playtime, and quality care for the dogs I look after. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets the time, attention, and exercise they need, whether that’s early morning walks, midday visits, or cozy evening snuggles. Each week, I balance regular clients with new furry friends, always keeping communication open with owners and staying flexible to meet each pet’s needs. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and it’s truly the highlight of my routine — every tail wag and happy face reminds me why I do what I do. When caring for pets — whether in my home or yours — my top priority is making them feel comfortable, loved, and secure. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel right at home. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, and there’s always time for cuddles and enrichment activities. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. I make sure they get their meals, walks, medications (if needed), and attention just the way they’re used to — plus lots of love and companionship while you’re away. No matter the service, you can count on me to treat your pets like family and give them the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Marlene was the best sitter we have ever had! She took great care of our Charles and updated us with lots of photos and videos everyday. She went above and beyond with taking care of our flat for us as well which was greatly appreciated. Not for a second did I worry that Charles wasn’t be well attended to. Can’t wait to use her again in the future! Thank you Marlene!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kensington
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: For my whole life I have grown up looking after dogs - taking them on runs, walks, hikes, or just spending time with them for my family, as well as, over the past 7 years, for other families. I am friendly, wonderful with dogs, and since I have moved away from home, I am missing spending time with dogs and caring for them. During the week, I work fully remote and flexible hours, and I love walking, or taking a break to spend time with your pet! I can host / board, stay, or pop in, depending what your preference is! I am in a very pet-friendly home - while none of us have dogs or cats, we welcome any chance to spend time with yours! We have a secure flat, with good natural light and a small garden outside where I can take care of cats and dogs. I am caring, attentive and get on very well with animals.
About: I have lived with and adored dogs my whole life since being a baby, I have 6 years direct dog care experience including two years as a professional dog walker, walking up to 10 dogs per time on a daily basis whilst providing over night dog boarding at my home in Hampstead village. I want to hear all of your dog’s preference's and any special requests you have so I can provide personalised care and make them feel at home as much as possible. I live without pets at my home in central London, with immediate access to Hyde park/ Kensington Gardens where I walk twice daily. I work from home and your dog will be right by my side throughout the day, I chat to my dogs and take regular breaks from my desk. All walks will be on lead, unless otherwise arranged. I have in total 4 family dogs of varied sizes and temperaments, they live with my parents - so rest assured as your doggie does not have to share a space or be compatible with the gang I list below. Suki - a 4 year old rescue Saluki / Greyhound mix from Battersea dog home with many trauma triggers. She is introverted, nonchalant, strikingly beautiful with a very funny streak! Blue- a 1 year old ex farmers pup mix He is an energetic 24/7, amazing with kids and a total lover boy. Ripley and Jones - 2 x 8 years old brothers from a breeder- Bedlington terrier + whippet mix. Both with completely opposite personalities to each other and ever evolving in their senior years. Your dog will come with me if I need to run an errand / get coffee / leave the house. (Unless you prefer otherwise) I go to the gym for approx 1.5 hours daily so your beloved doggie will have to be ok for these 1-2 hours alone time. My apartment has a fenced secure garden and balcony with solid wall and floor (no gaps). I can provide photos of my home on booking and will of course keep you updated on the daily with doggie photos! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have. I’m currently working from home, so I will have lots of time to play and keep your dogs company, I’m available on weekends and weekdays. I have professional experience as well as previously owning dogs myself. I have a fenced garden, a balcony and I live next to a park which I visit daily! I am an active person and take regular breaks myself from my desk
About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was young - both my own dogs and those of neighbours and friends. Since moving to London and being away from my black lab back home in South Africa, I’m looking for any opportunity to get my much-needed dose of dog cuddles and daily walks! I offer a calm, home-from-home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just curling up on the sofa, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently doing a masters at UCL and work at home full time during the week with fully flexible schedule. I am at home most weekends - and other than sports commitments in the mornings on Saturday and Sunday - am usually at home for most of them. I live in a ground-floor flat with a fenced garden. I live with 3 flat mates who are all dog-lovers, and are happy to keep an eye on them if I ever need to step out the house briefly. I am 5 min walking distance from Kensington gardens, so your dog will enjoy regular walks in the park! I’ll make sure your dog feels calm, settled, and truly at home here. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or relaxing in the evening, they’ll get plenty of love and attention—especially when curled up on the couch with us during movie nights. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs and had a dog throughout my childhood. I will look after your dog as if it were my own, with lots and lots of love and care! I fostered a dog for two years and she has now gone back to her owner and so would love some dog energy in my life! I offer boarding and dog sitting in my home or at your home, and am happy to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Your dog’s happiness will always come first with me. 🐶🐾 I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you that can relax. I look forward to meeting your darling dog. I’m currently a student and have lots of time at home and flexibility and good availability to care for your dog when you need it. I live in a flat and so only board small and medium dogs at mine but I am experienced with big dogs too and can have them at yours! I live super close to Holland Park and Kensington Palace Gardens.
About: Since I was a child, my family has had dogs, and I am super comfortable around them! Unfortunately, due to study and work commitments, I cannot have my own dog, but I would love to take care of someone else's and give them lots of cuddles and love. I recently finished my exams for my LLM at King's College London, and I am waiting for the next stage of my career to start in September, so I have a flexible schedule. I am currently spending most of the time at home focusing on my dissertation and would be so happy to dog sit and do dog walks during the day. I'll be happy to help you with your pets (dog or cat) while you are busy, and I will always try to make time to accommodate your busy schedule. I would like to develop long-term client relationships with fellow pet owners. So please, contact me if you need any help. I leave in a one bedroom flat, on a raised ground floor so there is no danger in my place. Also, it is considerably close to the park which is amazing to walk and exercise.
“Spotty being a difficult dog (cute but reactive) I was very happy and lucky to find Hallie. It's not the first time she looks after Spotty and he is now excited whenever we arrive close to her flat. He had a great day with her and will be spending more time with her!”
About: Hi! I’m Jillian — your go-to pet sitter and dog walker for walks, home visits, cuddles and loving care. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and I truly adore animals of all sizes and personalities. I currently live in Paddington (near the station). I don’t have pets here yet and really miss my two fur babies in Brazil — which means I now have an infinite supply of affection, long walks and belly rubs ready to share! Whether you’re nearby or a little further out, I’m happy to take your dog on exciting walks, play at the park, or keep your cat company while you’re away. I’m an affectionate, organised and tidy carer who always goes the extra mile to make pets feel safe, relaxed and loved. You can expect regular updates, plus plenty of photos and videos so you never miss a moment 📸🐾 If you’re looking for a reliable dog walker or regular pet sitter, feel free to get in touch — I currently have availability for ongoing bookings. I look forward to meeting your furry family and can’t wait to walk, play and take care of your best friend 🐶🐱 Many thanks! 🤍 I’m available every morning and again in the late afternoons and evenings, including weekends. I organise my schedule carefully around pet care to make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise and love. Living near Paddington station allows me to travel easily to nearby areas. Safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding routines, feeding and house rules, and use secure leads or harnesses during walks while choosing safe routes. I take time to build trust with each pet, especially nervous ones, and always use positive reinforcement. I respect clients’ homes and provide regular updates with photos and videos so owners feel reassured.
“Since Victoria has started looking after our dog, I’ve found her to be really accommodating and flexible and totally focused on our dog’s wellbeing, even down to arranging for professional groomer to bathe her. I work fairly anti-social hours and it’s always challenging finding new sitters, so I’m really happy to have discovered Victoria. Highly recommended her services.”
“What a smooth first experience! Alize took a great care of my pup - longer walkies and cuddles inclusive 💓 Alize is also very conscientious and great at communication which is so important - I felt calm leaving Cleo with her.”
“Carly has looked after our puppy twice. I can tell he really enjoys his time with Carly. She sends regular updates, responds quickly, and walks him around Hyde park, and is flexible with pick-ups and drop-offs. I can definitely recommend her services!”
“Varenya took care of Lenox for one day. She is friendly and was very enthusiastic about having Lenox around. They went for walks in the park and she sent pictures during the day, which was very appreciated!”
“Marcus is wonderful with my puppy Radley! He’s super responsive, provides updates and is very flexible. It’s clear he loves dogs and spending time with them. I’d highly recommend Marcus!”
“Izzy is just a gem! A lovely human being and caring with dogs. She looked after Mia as if it was her own dog. She heard my concerns about Mia, was very caring and calm. I would definitely reach out to Izzy again. Mia loved her day. Thanks Izzy , you are a true soul.”
“Vivian took wonderful care of my dog. Her positive energy was wonderful with our dog Stella and made us feel at ease leaving our dog. She gave us wonderful photos and updates. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Konstantina was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease from the moment we met her. She was warm, attentive, trustworthy and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Our dog was so happy and relaxed when we picked her up, which says everything. Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt that our dog was in the safest and most caring hands possible. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would book with Konstantina again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Rachel took our 4-year old girl Celia for a walk while we were away. She immediately bonded with her and Celia came back happier than ever. I couldn’t recommend her services enough and we’ll definitely be coming for more walks in the future!”
“Ignacio took care of our Celia for a whole week while we were away. His gentle and caring approach made all the difference. Celia grew very fond of him and always came home smiling and full of happiness. Ignacio is the most reliable person I’ve trusted my girl and I would do it every single time.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I had a Jack Russell from just a few weeks old until he was 16 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life, from puppyhood through to old age. In his later years he developed dementia, arthritis and heart disease, so I understand the extra patience, care and attention that senior dogs need. Because of that, I have a real soft spot for older dogs and I'm confident caring for pets who need a slower pace or a little extra support. Alongside owning dogs, I have experience dog sitting and house sitting, caring for dogs in their own homes and helping them stay happy and settled while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am particularly good with nervous or shy dogs, always taking the time to let them build trust at their own pace. I work part-time as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS, where I support people every day with compassion and patience. I bring that same approach to caring for dogs, taking the time to understand each dog's individual needs and personality. My aim is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved and comfortable while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know how they're getting on. 'm happy to follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication and any specific instructions, to help them feel as settled and comfortable as possible I work part-time as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I'm mainly available for house sitting, dog sitting and dog walking at weekends, with some weekday availability depending on my work schedule. I'll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise and company, while sticking to their usual routine to help them feel relaxed and at home. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll always respect both your space and your dog's routine. I'll follow any instructions you leave, including feeding schedules, walks, medication and bedtime routines, to help your dog feel as comfortable and settled as possible. I understand that every dog is different, so I'll take the time to get to know their personality and needs, whether they're energetic, shy or enjoy a slower pace. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind.
“Our dog loves Douglas! And she's actually quite picky about humans ☺️ Douglas is great - good comms, prompt, reliable, trustworthy, flexible. His move to Pimlico is Brixton's loss and Pimlico's gain!”
About: I am an experienced dog owner and, having lost my own dog recently, I would love bring my care and expertise to support your dog. When you're away, you want to know your dog is receiving the same love, attention and reassurance they get at home. Because I work from home three days a week, I can offer exactly that. If I'm caring for your dog, they won't be left alone in an unfamiliar house—my priority is making them feel safe, relaxed from the moment they arrive. Having been a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone who genuinely dedicates their time to your pet rather than simply fitting them around their schedule. That's the standard I always wanted for my own late dog, and it's the standard I now offer to every dog in my care. I will only ever take one dog at a time so I can provide 'a home from home'. Living just a few minutes from Holland Park and Kensington Gardens means your dog will enjoy beautiful walks tailored to their age, personality and energy levels, whether they love exploring, sniffing at their own pace or simply enjoying a gentle stroll. My aim is for you to head away with complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is happy, settled and being cared for as if they were my own. I also work at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home which has given me invaluable experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. It's deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and reinforced something I already knew—I really do love being around animals and helping them feel secure and understood. I have a real soft spot for older dogs and those who need a little extra care. I'm experienced in following medication schedules and medical protocols, and I understand how important it is to stick closely to the routines that help dogs feel comfortable and well. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so I'll always care for them as if they were my own. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're having a lovely time too. I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I work from home three days a week, which means I can provide plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, walks and one-to-one attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to tailor care around your dog's normal routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine. When I accept a booking, I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care. I don't leave dogs alone in an unfamiliar environment, so you can have peace of mind knowing they'll have consistent companionship, whether they're here for the day or an overnight stay. I live alone, so your dog will enjoy a calm, peaceful home with plenty of one-to-one attention. I take the time to learn their routine, preferences and personality so they feel as settled as possible while you're away. I work at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, so I'm confident caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior dogs and those with medical needs. Living just a few minutes from Holland Park and Kensington Gardens also means your dog will enjoy lovely walks tailored to their individual needs. Above all, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own, with lots of love, patience and regular updates to give you complete peace of mind.
“Anuja is a great choice for a dog walker. She is very communicative to work with, prompt and provides nice photos. She is also very affectionate with my pup and made sure as an older dog she went at the pace that was needed. I’ve already hired her again and will continue to use her as a go to when I need a walker.”
“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! 👍🏼👍🏼🫶🏻”
“Jae and Yoon couldn’t be kinder and more thoughtful dog walkers. They genuinely love dogs and looked after mine as though they were their own. They are also talented dog photographers! I will, without question, ask them to walk my dogs again.”
“Alex was punctual, friendly and helpful, communicated promptly. He took great care of Shasta and gave him good walks He obviously loves dogs, which is always a plus. Would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi! My name is Maggie and I have many years of pet sitting experience. I grew up with many cats and dogs and currently have 2 cats of my own. I’m extremely responsible and reliable as I truly understand how important pets our to their owners. I also have experience with administering pet medicine.

“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!”
“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.”
“Chiara and her partner Marco are some of the BEST dog sitters we’ve had! They went above and beyond to take my little guy to a beautiful forest and did a circular hike! They did regular walks and had lots of park time including a trip to the pub. My guy is very social and he enjoys meeting people and saying hello so he loved pub time! Chiara sent me regular updates and beautiful photos. I hope they will watch my guy again because we are definitely going to ask!! Highly recommend Chiara if you need a caring, attentive and responsive dog sitter. I’m so happy I found her!”
“I cannot recommend Alice more highly! I regularly leave Janosch with sitters and some just really stand out - Alice is one of them. She was flexible, friendly and kind, carefully listening and attending to his needs, and she kept me regularly updated with pictures and messages. He seemed immediately at ease with her and enjoyed many cuddles, walk and attention. Really put my mind to peace while I was away on a business trip. Thanks, Alice!”
“Elizaveta was fantastic! She was great with our dog and provided regular updates and photos. After a scheduling error on my end, she was more than accommodating and went above and beyond. We will definitely be booking her again. Couldn't be happier!”
“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!”
“Fantastic stay with Jen! Jen looked after our 5 month old cavapoo, Uno, for nine days over the October half term while we were abroad, and she was absolutely brilliant. It was our first time leaving Uno with anyone, but Jen made us feel completely at ease. She sent regular photos and updates, and more whenever we asked, so we always knew how Uno was getting on. Jen followed Uno’s regular routine and made sure she felt right at home. Uno settled in straight away and clearly had a wonderful time. Jen’s flat and area are lovely for walks, and when we came to collect her she was quite reluctant to leave! We couldn’t have asked for better care and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jen again.”
“Our Cavapoo Louie LOVED every second of his 2-day-stay! He’s a 12 weeks old puppy and needed some extra attention and care, which both Raquel and Jacobo provided without any issues and in perfection. Very experienced, very calm and lovely people and I truly felt like my dog is well looked after. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Kirsten was brilliant with my Vizsla. he stayed overnight with her and she sent me videos and photos of them in Hyde Park and doing various other activities. more importantly she is responsible and caring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone and will be using her again!”
“Like first time second time Francini was amazing with my dogs. She gave meds to my oldie Chanel and walked to the park with young Daisy. She has a nice and cozy apartment where dogs feels like at home. Definitely will book again xx”
“This was the first time leaving our 12 year old vizsla Apollo with James. He was very nice and beyond accommodating. Our dog Apollo takes medicine twice a day and it was no big deal for James. Daily photos and updates to let us know how he was doing. Would recommend him very highly to anyone wanting their dog to be cared for by a loving individual.”
“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!”
“Carissa took wonderful care of Mookie! Instantly making him feel at ease in her home and keeping him happy with lots of walks and affection. She is also super responsive with me, asked great questions, and kept me up to date, making the whole process a breeze. Delighted to have found her through Rover.”
“Sarah was great. From picking up and drop off to immediately taking care and sharing photos and updates during my dog’s stay with her. My dog was very happy when I saw him.”
“Emily and Cynthia took wonderful care of Betsy. Betsy was in great spirit when we picked her up, but would have been happy to continue her stay with them. And we were happy to receive photos while she was with them.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog, Shark, received. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love and attention she gives to the pets she looks after. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Shark instantly connected with her and came back happy, relaxed, and full of energy. It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but she went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional petsitter”
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.
“Milo stayed with Martina and Bojan for four nights, from 20 to 24 April 2026, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable in their home, which is always the best sign. Martina sent me daily photos and updates, and it was lovely to see Milo looking happy and content every day. Their communication was excellent and really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that Martina and Bojan genuinely care about dogs and treat them as part of the family. I’m very grateful to them for taking such good care of Milo and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitters.”
