I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be leaving Bruno with her again in the future!”

Hazel looks very happy in the pictures, which gave us a lot of comfort especially it is the first time we were away from Hazel for such a long period of time. Hazel had a great time playing with Cefi and going on fun adventures on weekends. We’d definitely board with Simon and Cefi again!”
“Rosemarie was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog. She was incredibly kind, caring and attentive throughout and kept us updated with lots of detailed messages and photos.

About: In my day job, I work as a corporate paralegal in the City. I find spending time with cats a great way to destress, and I always look forward to that hit of Oxytocin when I come home to Niko - my wonderfully mischievous Russian Blue. Ever since I was little, I've had a huge love for cats and have always been amazed by just how many different personalities they can have. I truly believe every cat is unique, with their own little quirks, likes, and dislikes. I always take the time to get to know each cat as an individual and adapt my approach to suit their personality and needs, whether they're playful, shy, independent, or just want someone to sit quietly with them. When spending time away from home, I know just how important it is to find someone warm and reliable to take care of Niko. I can guarantee you that if you choose to leave your cat with me, they will be given all the cuddles and playtime they need, and I will look after them as if they were my own.
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!
“Gahae was super helpful! Even at a last minute booking she was so attentive and listened to everything i explained regarding my poorly kitty, took amazing care of him, and sent me adorable pics! Genuinely couldn’t recommend enough!!”
“Jacqueline was very good and patient with our cat, Luna! After being away for 2 weeks, we came home to a happy, clean, and well-fed cat :-) Jacqueline is reliable and professional- and we will definitely consider her again to keep an eye on Luna!”
“Douglas took care of our cat while we were away for 2 weeks and has done an amazing job. He has been super patient with her as she was shy at the beginning and came everyday to play with her”
“Im very pleased with Juan's service, 100% recommend. He was coming to check on Vanilla during the holidays. Communication was great while i was away and when i returned my place looked tidy with a happy cat awaiting :)”
“Marion took amazing care of my three cats for 10 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent me daily updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my cats in her hands. I would absolutely recommend Marion to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“We have used Hana to look after our two cats several times and every time she delivers exceptional service and gives us ultimate peace of mind while we are away. Our most recent booking one of our cats had a stomach bug that we needed her to pay special attention to while we were away. She did just that and we came back home to a happy healthy cat. Can’t recommend Hana enough!”
“We had a great experience with Cassandre. She stayed with our cat Mia for a week and was so attentive, making sure our home was clean and tidy when we returned. We loved the regular photos and video updates she sent. Thank you, Cassandre, we’ll definitely be booking you again!”
“Exceptional care for our beloved kitties! Jasmin is so thorough and thoughtful. She was well-prepared with questions and a check list during our initial meeting, and it was wonderful getting all of the photos and notes she shared from each visit. We could tell the cats were well taken care of when we arrived home from our travels, and Jasmin went above and beyond with caring for any mess our cats created. So glad to have found such an excellent sitter, couldn’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!”
About: I’ve always had animals around me for as long as I can remember. Dogs especially – they’ve been a part of my life since I was a little girl. When I was studying architecture at university, I adopted my own pup (literally scooped him up off the street as a puppy – love at first sight!). After moving to London (sadly, without him), I started helping out by looking after other people’s dogs. It didn’t take long to realize how much joy and energy they bring into my life. Being around dogs just makes everything better – it’s like a little piece of home wherever I go. I am currently working full time but from home so taking care of dogs will not affect my schedule and the dog’s experience as well. I live in a spacious apartment right across from Hackney Wick Station. Victoria Park is just a 10-minute walk away, and the canal is even closer—only about 4 minutes on foot. With such lovely spots nearby, our walks are sure to be enjoyable and refreshing.
“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!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and horses since I was 10 years old. I was the primary caregiver for my own doodle from the time she was just three months old, including potty training her and teaching her basic commands and tricks. I’m also comfortable caring for more than one dog at a time, as friends and family have often trusted me to look after their pets. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! 🐶🐾💕 I live just a short walk from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, which are perfect for long, enjoyable walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. There are also several lovely green spaces nearby, so your dog will have lots of opportunities to explore, play, and enjoy different walking routes during their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home! 😇🌸🥰🌸 I recently left my full-time role and I am currently available full-time while I search for my next opportunity. During this time, I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adapt to yours. I look forward to helping in any way I can!🐶🐾 In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax on the sofa or bed and will receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. When we’re out and about, I always keep dogs on a lead to ensure their safety, unless we’re in a secure, fenced area where they can run freely and enjoy playing with other dogs.
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: I’ve looked after dogs my whole life. I’m orignally from Derbyshire where I grew up with multiple pets including horses, goats, dogs and cats, so super experienced in looking after pets. Now living in the city so missing living around animals and craving pet compainions to walk and sit whilst I’m living here. I’ve lived in the area for 4 years , I live 2 minutes from Hyde park and walk there most days so looking for a furry walking / sleepover buddy! I am self employed creative / content / social guru super reliable with a very flexible schedule.
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: ❤️ Our boy (9yo🦮) is currently on holidays with our family in Wales, so I have plenty of time, love, and energy for your furry family! 📍West London, 10mins walk to Holland Park. 💟 Only accept one furry family at a time! Your little one will receive full affection and care! 🌟 I have been surrounded by four-legged family members my whole life since I was born. Growing up, my family had two wonderful dogs: a rescued Formosan Mountain Dog (3-10) and a Japanese Spitz, who lived incredible 18-year lives and passed away when I was 7, giving me early experience with senior pet care. Since then, I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbours care for cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. Currently, I live with my partner's gorgeous 9yo Golden Retriever, and am officially his favourite "food & play lady"! Because our boy is heading off on holiday to Wales with family this summer, I have plenty of time, love, and energy to dedicate to looking after your furry family in the local area. Fluent in both ENGLISH & MANDARIN. As a freelance filmmaker and creative entrepreneur, I manage my own projects and have a highly flexible schedule. Because my work doesn't tie me to a traditional 9-to-5, I can easily adapt my daily routine to fit your pet's specific needs, whether that means daytime walks, regular feeding schedules, or companionship. My background as a film producer means I am highly organised, an excellent problem-solver, and calm under pressure. You can rest assured your pet will be in safe, capable, and attentive hands!
“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.”
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: Hello! I have always loved being around animals, I have had dogs, cats, chickens and unfortunately since I moved to the UK with university and work, I did not have as much time as before to be around them, and dogs in particular have a special place in my heart. Spending time with them, understanding their personalities, and giving them the attention they need is something I genuinely enjoy. Becoming a pet sitter allows me to combine that passion with the opportunity to help owners feel confident and relaxed when they need someone responsible to look after their pets. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is always to offer a calm, safe and affectionate environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I work from home most of the week, which means I am around and able to give plenty of attention to your pet throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule, so weekdays and weekends both work well for me. Whether it's cuddles, company, or regular walks your dog will never feel left alone or overlooked. I will make sure they're well cared for and happy! My flat is calm and suitable for short daytime care, however I do not have a garden and I share the flat with flatmates. Because of that, I am very flexible and can happily come to your home as well, if your dog needs more space of feels better in a familiar environment. I'll always choose the option the keeps your pet relaxed and well looked after.
“I highly recommend Carly. She was amazing with my dog. He was a little bit nervous when I dropped him off but she was friendly, calm and immediately put him at ease. Carly clearly adores dogs and has a competent professional approach to pet care. She gave me regular pictures and updates. I had no doubts that my dog was being well looked after and would 100% recommend.”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I love taking care and playing with dogs and am experienced with taking care of high-energy and playful breeds and puppies for stays up to a week. I live in a spacious 3-bed flat with my twin brother with private garden access and a large living room. I work from home three days a week with a flexible schedule. I always send updates and pictures to the owners and of course adapt to the owners specific preferences they have for their furry friend! My week naturally splits into home days and office days — three days remote means I'm around for walks and play. I always share the flat with my twin brother who is also experienced so your dog is rarely on their own for long. Weekends I'm usually active and happy to build the routine around whatever your dog is used to. My flat is spacious and has direct access to a private garden, so dogs have room to move freely and safely. I've looked after puppies and high-energy breeds before, so I'm used to keeping an eye on things and making sure the environment is secure. I always follow the owner's usual routine: feeding times, sleeping arrangements, any rules so your dog feels at home as quickly as possible. I'll always check in with updates and photos so you can actually relax while they're here.
“Catherine was amazing with Jax and has absolutely everything he could possibly want from toys to treats to lick mats. She also took him to the park twice a day and would send lots of pics all the time, definitely recommend and will be sending Jax again”

About: Hi there! 🤗 I 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 a dog or cat, so I made up for it by spending as much time as possible with my friends’ pets. I now have experience looking after my 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 taken care of many pets including dogs, cats, lizards, and fish. I have always been the trusted person within my family and between my friends to look after their pets, as i’m very good with instructions and can be great fun. My energy will always depend on the incredible pet that I look after so that they do not feel overwhelmed or bored at all! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently do not have a job or other major commitments. This means I can dedicate my full attention and time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive plenty of companionship, playtime, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, so I am able to follow their routines closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them. Because I have a very flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is always the happiness and wellbeing of the animals I look after, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives owners complete peace of mind. If a pet is staying in my home, they may also meet my 5-year-old sister. She is very gentle, calm, and loving around animals, and has grown up understanding the importance of treating pets with kindness and respect. She knows that some pets enjoy attention while others need their own space, and she is very good at recognising those boundaries. She loves spending time with friendly pets, whether that means quietly sitting with them, playing gently, or simply keeping them company. However, she always follows instructions and understands that the pet’s comfort comes first. This means visiting pets can enjoy a calm, family-friendly environment with plenty of love and attention if they choose to interact. However, Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, and any other requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. For cats, this may mean providing a calm environment and gentle interaction, while for dogs it could involve walks, games, and lots of affection. I keep living spaces clean and tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behaviour or wellbeing. Since I currently have a flexible schedule, I can dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care, helping them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete confidence that their beloved companion is in caring and responsible hands.
About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 9, caring for my beloved dog, Zuzu, in Cyprus. Additionally, I've frequently looked after my best friend's dog when her family is away. My name is Eftychia it means happiness in Greek and I am 24 years old currently working within the law field. I am able to work from home which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine! I find joy in spending time outdoors, particularly in parks, where I often engage in walking or running activities. Combining my passion for outdoor activities with pet care ensures that your furry companion will not only receive necessary exercise but also enjoy exploring nature in a safe and stimulating environment. When caring for pets, my top priority is ensuring they have access to fresh water and nutritious food. Beyond the basics, I enjoy engaging with pets through cuddling, playtime, and providing them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition , I will ensure we take long walks in a safe environment , most of the time in parks such as Hyde park , Holland Park and Kensington Gardens. I will also be updating the dog owners with photos and videos so they know we are having a good 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.
“Amazing walker and sitter! Regular walker of my senior dog and trust her with him and my house. Very communicative and goes above and beyond the necessary service definitely recommend”
“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've been surrounded by animals since I was little, growing up in my hometown in Italy. Over the years, I've cared for cats, dogs of all sizes—from Shih Tzu to Great Danes and Mastiffs—and even horses. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Now that I live in London, I really miss having my family dogs and the joy of coming home to an excited wagging tail or a cuddly cat. Pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time with animals while providing them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. In London, I looked after a lovely Dachshund for a year while interning at an office. I cared for him from puppyhood, helping with his daily routine, reinforcing his training, and making sure he was happy, safe, and well looked after throughout the day. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll always treat them with kindness, patience, and plenty of affection. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pets. I can provide lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also available on weekends and happy to spend quality time with your pets, whether that means play sessions, walks, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and respect their personality, needs, and preferences. I understand that trust and safety are the most important things when someone is caring for your pets. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I will take the time to learn about their routines, personalities, and any special needs, and I will respect these to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, litter box care, medication if needed, and any specific habits or preferences your cats and dogs may have.
“Jaewon and Sangyoon are very friendly and reliable. Ottie has been walked by them twice and we are looking forward to them caring for her when we are away on holiday.”
“Annie- Marie has been coming for several weeks now and is fab. Shes reliable, on time and has formed a great friendship with Lola who is always delighted to see her. Thankyou Annie-Marie”
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and I’ve been pet sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have experience both raising puppies and providing senior care, and with caring for multiple pets at once. Aside from pet sitting, my family also fostered dogs for years, ranging from toy poodles to pit bulls. We took emergency placements for puppies and medical recovery. I currently freelance part time so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I am available both weekends and weekdays for walks, check ins, and full time in home care. I offer in home pet sitting so your pet will get to remain in the environment they find most familiar and comfortable. I am happy to accommodate the structure and routine you follow for your pet.

“Akari was fantastic with my dog, Minty! Minty can be very stubborn and difficult to walk, she was great with her and got her to walk the whole time! Akari is very patient, gentle and caring!”

“Very good experience, Tracy is well taken care of by Lucia and her husband. She sent me very frequent update and help to walk her every 3 to 4 hours. Will definitely rebook her :)”
“Alice took a great care of Ruby, she’s kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and photos. Ruby seemed really happy and comfortable during her daycare and I’ll definitely use Alice’s service in the future :)”
“Francini is the best! She made it so easy for me with a late booking and took the best care of my crazy frenchie. There’s a reason she books out fast, if she’s free you’re in luck!”
“Danny provided an excellent home for Bert while we were away over Christmas. He was super flexible in regards to drop off and pick up times and sent lots of photos to keep us up to date and let us know how Bert was getting on. Fantastic help and took any pet related worries off our plate while we were away! Thanks Danny!”
“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!”
“Chiara took Teilo for an overnight and. a long walk the next day which gave him a great amount of exercise and new experiences. This was only the second time Teilo had been with Chiara and Marco but he greeted them joyfully when he arrived, and was obviously very happy to stay. Chiara has an easy and confident affinity with dogs, and made Teilo very comfortable in their home. She is very reassuring and gives regular updates and photos. I recommend her highly as a sitter.”
“James was very responsive and provided us with regular updates which we really appreciate. Reggie looked happy and relaxed from his staycation. Will definitely use James's services again!”
“First time leaving Keahi alone for the night with Gabriella and Morgan. They were both amazing, friendly, helpful, easy-going and Gabriella was great with communication, updates and photos during the night and the morning. Very gracious with all the instructions and fussiness the little madam required, even managed to coax a morning walk out of Keahi. My mind was completely as ease leaving her there for the first time, even allowing me up to get her settled and meet the other pup they were looking after. Thank you so much.”
“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!”
“Lili was a fantastic sitter for our dog Max. She was able to meet with us in advance of the sit to ensure that Max was familiar and comfortable with her. She was also flexible with our travel days/times and provided updates and photos of Max during the sit. There are a lot of positive things we could say about Lili, but it is best summarized by the fact that Max didn't want to leave her when it was time for him to come home. We would definitely leave Max with Lili again!”
“Sarah was kind enough to board Popcorn at short notice, and he clearly had a wonderful time. I have complete confidence in Sarah's ability to cater for Popcorn's every need, and will certainly be asking her again in future.”
“Martina looked after our fox terrier for 8 days - during the heatwave! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Both she and her partner went above and beyond. Daily updates, photos and videos and just so much care and love. Truly outstanding, we feel very lucky. Our foxie came back very happy and well looked after.”
“Anita was absolutely amazing and took excellent care of my dog. I will highly recommend her. She is the perfect dog sitter so attentive, affectionate, and genuinely caring. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care, and I would not hesitate to book her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Norma, my pug, loved her stay with Vanessa and I was able to fully relax knowing she was in safe hands. Vanessa was thorough in getting to know her behaviours and routine in a meet and greet prior to her staying and kept me fully updated whilst I was away and even gave behaviour tips and advised on some toys she loved playing with. Highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely be booking again.”
“Elisabetta was very caring for my old beagle. She was sending me very often updates, I didn't have to chase for anything.. Ellie seamed relaxed and happy! Will definately use her services again!”
“Gatsby had a great time staying with Ellie! She kept me informed of how he was doing (he's an old guy so I worry when leaving him) with photo updates and messages. He looked happy and relaxed, and came back home to promptly take a nap. A great success! Would love to stay with Ellie again in future. Thanks for looking after my boy.”
