Most importantly, she truly loves our cats as if they were her own. We have complete peace of mind whenever we are away. Highly recommended!”

“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old. I grew up in Switzerland in the mountains and my family always had animals, rescued as well.

It brings a lot of happiness to our home I am currently working from home,part time, so I will have plenty of time to play and look after your pet.

I have a park just outside my place where I can walk your dog Cats stay indoors with me, I have a 13 year old boy who loves animals. I taught him from a very young age kindness and affection towards animals.
“Anna took care of my dog for 5 days. My dog is experiencing being away from home for the first time, and because of the fear of separation, he goes to the toilet everywhere, and Anna, with great kindness and patience, helps her to overcome this problem. She is responsible and sends me photos and daily conditions of my dog every day. When he was delivered, my dog was bathed and very tidy and happy, and it was clear that he had a great time with her.I recommend Anna to others.thank you so much Anna”
“I highly recommend Yang for anyone looking for a sitter. She was very responsive, always on time, and provided great care to Fuji during her stay. She regularly shared photos and videos, which made me feel reassured while I was away. Fuji came home happy and healthy. Thank you Yang, for taking great care of Fuji!”
“Simon could not have been more considerate or thoughtful when looking after our cockapoo, sending me pictures every day. Our dog was reluctant to leave I think! I could not recommend him more highly.”
“Eire is the best dog sitter! From the very beginning, her communication was excellent, and she completely understood how anxious I was about leaving my 3-month-old puppy with someone for the first time. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much reassurance and peace of mind. It was clear that my puppy was being well cared for, loved, and receiving plenty of attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Eire is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and in my opinion, she’s the best dog sitter in West London! Thank you again, Eire—we’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾😊”

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!”
“Simply the best! It was our third time with Tiziana and she has been incredible every time. It's a home away from home from Mongu now :))) Tiziana and her husband are the kindest people and will take care of your pup like their own. Would recommend anytime with no hesitation!”
“Xinyu (and Luke) were fantastic with my pup, Coffee, during his four-day stay. I got daily updates, photos of him walking, sniffing around, and staying hydrated—which kept me completely at ease. Communication was always quick and clear. Their apartment is similar to mine and has air-conditioning, so Coffee was comfortable even in the summer heat. Everything went smoothly, Coffee clearly had a great time, and I’ll definitely book with Xinyu again the next time I’m away. Highly recommend!”

“I'm so happy that we found Maria. She boarded Harry for four days and we felt absolutely safe leaving him with her. She is a very responsible person, which was the most important thing for us. We received photos and videos three times per day or even more, which gave us lots of comfort. We are leaving Harry with Maria again in January for almost a month, which tells a lot about how much we trust Maria.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love having them as part of my day. Over the last few years, I’ve looked after nearly 100 dogs through Rover, all with their own personalities, routines and very specific ideas about where they should be allowed to sleep! I’m a big walker, so dogs staying with me can expect plenty of exercise, including long walks around Hyde Park, as well as lots of attention and downtime at home. I’m also very happy to be flexible around your dog’s usual routine, whether that means particular feeding times, shorter or longer walks, medication, or just making sure they get the right amount of company and cuddles. I use Rover because I genuinely enjoy looking after dogs and having them around, rather than as a way of making as much money as possible. I want owners to feel completely comfortable leaving their dog with me and, most importantly, for their dog to have a brilliant and happy stay. Working as a writer from home gives me the flexibility to fit dog care around my schedule seamlessly. I'm always happy to accommodate the needs of pets and their owners. Whether it's a walk in the park or an overnight stay, I'm here to ensure every furry friend gets the attention and care they deserve. I live in a spacious home just a stone's throw away from Hyde Park, offering a beautiful and convenient location for your furry friend. With ample room to roam and explore, coupled with the park's proximity, there's no shortage of space and adventure for your pet. Additionally, my large kitchen provides plenty of space to accommodate crates comfortably, ensuring your pet feels right at home during their stay
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, so I’m very used to having them around and looking after them. I’d look after your dog like I would my own, and would definitely be sending you far too many photos!! I’ve recently finished studying interior design and am currently applying for jobs, so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I’m around a lot during the week and can usually work around different walk times or drop-in visits. On walks I’ll always follow whatever you’re comfortable with and keep your dog on the lead unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise. I’m very happy walking around their usual area or taking them to a nearby park, and for drop-ins I can feed them, refill water, let them out, give them some company and generally keep things as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. For the past 5.5 years, I lived in New York City with my Mini Australian Shepherd, Ozzy, who I raised from a puppy during COVID. Ozzy was (and still is!) my best friend. He slept in my bed every night, came on adventures with me, and was truly part of my family. When I moved to the UK in March, I had to leave him with my parents in the US because he’s reactive and the move would have been too stressful for him. I miss him every single day. Owning a reactive dog taught me patience, how to read canine body language, and the importance of creating calm, positive experiences for every dog. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and reactive dogs who need a little extra understanding. I genuinely love dogs, and if your pup stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family—not just a pet. Whether they love cuddles on the sofa, long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing by your side, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while following the routine and house rules you prefer. I also grew up with cats, so I’m just as happy caring for feline family members too. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone else because that’s exactly how I’d feel with Ozzy. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable, with plenty of updates, photos, and care you can trust. I work full-time in recruitment, but I have a very flexible hybrid schedule and typically only work from the office 1–2 days each week. On work-from-home days, I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I absolutely love dogs, and your pup will receive lots of companionship, cuddles, and care. My home is also just a 5-minute walk from Hyde Park and under 10 minutes from Holland Park, so they’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor time and exciting walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog because I felt exactly the same way about my own Mini Australian Shepherd, Ozzy. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, crate training, sleeping arrangements, and any special instructions. My mews house provides a calm, home-like environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We live within a short walk of both Hyde Park and Holland Park, giving plenty of opportunities for safe, enriching walks and exercise. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I only take a limited number of bookings at a time so every dog gets plenty of individual attention.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Grateful to Jeanne for agreeing to look after BP at the last minute. She was amazing with him and was very good at communicating! She would update me all throughout and would send me photos of him!”
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.
“Tara is real dog lover , she looked after our sensitive Ricci and made sure he is safe and comfortable. She made him company all day , feed him , walk and care for him , so we did not have to worry about. She knows how to be delicate with little dogs. Definitely recommend her and will use her services again.”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep-rooted passion for animals and my extensive experience with dogs. I was born and raised in South Africa, where I have had dogs as part of my family since childhood. From majestic Ridgebacks to spirited Jack Russells, I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with a variety of canine companions. Growing up in a bustling city like Johannesburg, I understand the importance of frequent walks and exercise to keep dogs happy and healthy. Living in London now, I recognise the similarities between these two vibrant cities in terms of the need for regular exercise and outdoor activities for dogs. Here's what makes me stand out as a pet sitter: Lifetime Dog Lover: Dogs have been a part of my life since day one, and I genuinely adore them. This lifelong love and experience allow me to connect with dogs on a deep level and understand their unique needs. Cultural Diversity: My experience in South Africa and now in London has exposed me to diverse dog breeds and personalities. I appreciate and respect the individuality of each dog. Exercise Enthusiast: I have a passion for exercise and the outdoors, which translates into an active and engaging pet care routine. Whether it's brisk walks, vigorous playtime, or stimulating hikes, I ensure that dogs under my care get the exercise they need. Work from Home: Working from home provides me with the flexibility to be present for your pets throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Special Skills: I have experience in training puppies and providing gentle care for senior dogs. Whether your pup needs basic obedience training or your senior dog requires extra attention and patience, I am well-equipped to meet their unique needs. Strong Communication: I believe in transparent and open communication. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. International Perspective: My exposure to different cultures and environments has made me adaptable and open-minded. I can easily adjust to your dog's routine and preferences. I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm also an outdoor enthusiast who loves exercise and spending time in nature, so I'm more than happy to take your pets on regular outdoor adventures, whether it's hiking, jogging, or simply enjoying long walks in the park. When pets stay in my home, I create a warm and inviting environment that feels just like their own. Here's how I care for pets in my home: Comfortable Accommodations: I provide a safe and comfortable space for pets, complete with cozy bedding, toys, and all the essentials they need to feel at home. Regular Exercise: Given my love for the outdoors and exercise, I ensure pets get plenty of physical activity, whether it's daily walks, playtime in the backyard, or trips to nearby parks. Feeding Schedule: I stick to the pet owner's feeding schedule, providing high-quality food and fresh water as needed. Medication Administration: If any pets have specific medical needs or require medication, I am diligent in administering it according to the prescribed instructions. Play and Socialisation: I believe in the importance of play and socialisation. I engage with pets through interactive play and provide companionship to reduce any feelings of loneliness. Regular Updates: I maintain open communication with pet owners, sending them regular updates, photos, and videos to keep them connected with their furry family members. Safety: Safety is paramount. I ensure that my home is pet-proofed and free from hazards to keep them safe at all times.
“Sophia was great! Very flexible and understanding that my pup just got neutered and was a little extra crazy and disoriented from the meds. Gave updates throughout the day too. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”

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.
“Rory and his partner looked after our two dogs for the day. They looked very contented when we collected them and we received 8 photos showing the dogs out on a walk and relaxing in Rory’s spacious flat. We hope he will look after them again.”

About: As a cat mum myself, I know that leaving your cat is never easy. Even when you’re enjoying your time away, part of you is still wondering: Have they eaten? Are they lonely? Do they miss me? That’s why I’m here to provide you with the kind of care I would look for when leaving my own cat, Indy; someone reliable and genuinely happy to spend time with her. I grew up surrounded by rescued street cats so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m based in Kensington and available for drop-in visits at weekends between 9am and 9pm, and on weekdays between 4:30pm and 9pm. I’m happy to arrange a time within these hours that works best for you and your cat’s usual routine. I’ll care for your cat in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. Their safety will always be my priority therefore I’ll make sure doors and windows remain secure, check that your cat is eating and behaving normally, and let you know if I notice anything unusual.

About: I have experience in walking and house sitting small dogs, I love playing with dogs! I’m a responsible and an empathetic person, I value cleanliness as well! I have added photos from the times cats chose me, dogs from housesitting and dogs in my partners place ☺️ I’m a recent graduate, currently in the job hunt, so I do have plenty of time during the week! I’m flexible on days and timings to walk your pets/ housesit them! I have experience in home sitting pets at their place before; I’m a responsible and caring sitter.

I always feel at ease leaving Mia with Alize.”
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 us 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 pet-sitting friends’ pets and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, and I’ll send you regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m equally happy with a gentle stroll, a long walk or even a run if your dog has more energy! I am self-employed and typically work from home or co-working spaces. I am therefore very flexible both during the week and on weekends. I love to play games with your cat(s)/dog(s). But equally, I will adapt to their personality and needs. I am also enhanced DBS-checked as I’ve worked with students in pastoral roles.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, so I’m very used to having them around and looking after them. I’d look after your dog like I would my own, and would definitely be sending you far too many photos!! I’ve recently finished studying interior design and am currently applying for jobs, so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I’m around a lot during the week and can usually work around different walk times or drop-in visits. On walks I’ll always follow whatever you’re comfortable with and keep your dog on the lead unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise. I’m very happy walking around their usual area or taking them to a nearby park, and for drop-ins I can feed them, refill water, let them out, give them some company and generally keep things as close to their normal routine as possible.
“My Dogs loved going for walks with Tara this week. I’m going to rebook Tara on a weekly basis going forward . She is very professional in her position . And makes me feel at ease that my Dogs are being well taken care off . ❤️”

“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.”
“Eire is the best dog sitter! From the very beginning, her communication was excellent, and she completely understood how anxious I was about leaving my 3-month-old puppy with someone for the first time. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much reassurance and peace of mind. It was clear that my puppy was being well cared for, loved, and receiving plenty of attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Eire is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and in my opinion, she’s the best dog sitter in West London! Thank you again, Eire—we’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾😊”
“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!”
“Xinyu (and Luke) were fantastic with my pup, Coffee, during his four-day stay. I got daily updates, photos of him walking, sniffing around, and staying hydrated—which kept me completely at ease. Communication was always quick and clear. Their apartment is similar to mine and has air-conditioning, so Coffee was comfortable even in the summer heat. Everything went smoothly, Coffee clearly had a great time, and I’ll definitely book with Xinyu again the next time I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“The best of the best! Fran has been absolutely amazing with Bella and Bella genuinely loved being with her - It was evident from Bella’s photos and her goodbye to her. Definitely would recommend Fran to sit dogs 10/10 - she’s been absolutely amazing”
“Cynthia took amazing care of Luna while we were away on holiday. She sent daily updates/photos/videos of how Luna was doing. We came back to a super happy dog. Would definitely recommend, she clearly loves dogs and has taken care of them before!”
“Amazing as always! Reggie happily walked into James's place when we dropped him off and James kept us updated with photos on a daily basis. Will definitely use James's service again. Thank you, James!”
About: Dog sitting in a calm home with beautiful large parks on our doorstep. Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Holland Park are 5 minutes away for walking and play, relaxing at my home or yours. One of us is always working from home so we can constantly supervise your pet. Typical day would include walks on lead in the park, local walks. Pets can sleep on the bed/sofa if they are allowed to do that at home. The flat is a decent size and we regularly have friend's dogs to stay. We have raised and owned dogs in the past and are very comfortable with all breeds. I will update you with photos often during the stay, so as a pet parent you are confident and reassured that your companion is happy at all times. Both of us work 1 or 2 days in the office, but we ensure that 1 of us is always home. Neither of our work is meeting intensive so there's plenty of time to give attention to a fluffy friend. We both like stretching our legs as often as possible, so our guest will be able to do the same. No garden but we live on a nice, leafy street with multiple parks a 5 minute walk away. No small children and no other animals. We will update you with photos often during the stay, happy to send messages back and forth so you feel happy. Happy to accommodate requests.
About: I always loved any kind of animal, from turtles to rabbits, horses, dogs and cats. Animals for me are always been family, and for this reason my purpose is to give to them the write attention and satisfy their needs (from a walk to a good play session). As you can se from my “title” i concentrate my basis on three essential Kew words: LOVE, POSITIVITY AND ENERGY. I really hope to be part of your best four-legged friend life !!! Best regards, Gio I’m a student in London, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and a good amount of free time outside university. I also travel and move around quite a lot, which is one of the reasons I haven’t taken on the responsibility of having my own pet yet — I know how much time, consistency and care they deserve. Rover gives me the chance to spend time with animals, which is something I genuinely enjoy and find incredibly rewarding. Every pet is different, so I always adapt to their personality, routine and what their owner asks of me. Whether they need long walks, playtime, company or simply a calm presence, my priority is making them feel comfortable, safe and cared for.
“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.”
“Abigail was simply amazing. The amount of questions she asked during our initial meeting through to the detailed updates and steady supply of photos and videos demonstrates the level of care she puts in to the dogs she sits. If you are AT ALL anxious about leaving your dog with someone, trust that they will be in excellent hands with her!”
“Our dog, Cali, stayed with Jacobo for about a month while we traveled overseas. It was reassuring to know she was in such great hands while we were far away. He took her out with him and really cared for her as if she was his own dog. He was super responsive and sent regular updates - he took care to learn and maintain her routine. We are very grateful and would highly recommend him!”
“Sarah is clearly a dog lover. She was very responsive and sent lots of videos and photos of our boy during his stay. She asked for clarification about how much to feed him, which I think is a good sign of the care and attention she gives the dogs. It's always a bit anxiety creating leaving your pet with someone else, but I would recommend her.”
“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!”
“A huge thanks to Kelsey and Becky (her adorable 4-legged girl!) This was our Kai’s first stay with them; it was also his longest stay away from us this year (16 nights). Without a doubt he had the best time with Kelsey and Becky, clearly enjoying their attention and company. He seems to be missing them since getting home 😔! Kai was well looked after, and the pictures and videos of them that Kelsey sent every other day or so, kept us updated and showed how much fun he had. Kai can be a bit fussy, but Kelsey appears to have won him over - he ate all of his food, eagerly looked forward to his park runs for exercise. We were glad to hear that Kai was well-behaved throughout his stay. We cannot recommend Kelsey (and Becky) more highly. Kelsey is clearly very comfortable with dogs and does everything she can to make her doggy wards comfortable and have the best time.”
