“Monika & her partner were absolutely lovely to meet and took great care of my puppy, Riley. After an initial few sitters cancelled on me at the last moment, i was glad to come across Monikas profile to help me out in the end. I was a little nervous leaving him alone overnight for the first time, but they kept me reassured, sent lots of videos and made sure i supplied everything he would need. He had a lovely time with the other dogs and seemed very happy. We’ll definitely be back :)”
“Anna-Marie was absolutely fantastic. Carl had a blast with her, going to the graveyard for walks and an outing to Hampstead. I got regular updates and pictures of Carl during his stay. Anna-Marie took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Carl ahead of his stay to ensure he felt as comfortable as possible with her. Would 100% recommend. Your dog will be in safe hands with her.”
About: I love dogs. I have been dealing with dogs since I was a child. I have been working as a dog walker for 5 years. During that time, I have walked more than 30 dogs We walk the dogs five times a day. Gladstone Park is nearby. We go there for walks. We feed them at the request of the owners. We play during walks and try to satisfy the dogs' need for exercise. It is safety flat. Closed they wont'be able to go anywhere. After walk I will wash them if needed . Remove plants from their fur, check their paws.
“Barby and Nacho looked after our dachshund Hamish for five nights and we are so lucky we found them, especially on short notice. They are the type of sitters that dog owners dream of for their beloved fur family members. They sent progress pictures, reassuring texts and we never worried for a second. Hamish loved the back garden and I am sure he is looking forward to his next holiday at Barby's house. 10/10 recommend. Thank you!”
“Sol watched our dog Toffee for a week and was terrific. She was a great communicator and it was clear she took good care of him, with lots of walks and comfortable time at home. I recommend her highly!”
“I have been very lucky to find Sarah. She has a wealth of experience looking after animals and I knew when I met her that Romeo would settle down quickly in her care. Her dogs are adorable and she's a lovely, lovely person. She is experienced, reliable, trustworthy and kind - look no further! Sarah is wonderful. Thank you Sarah for looking after Romeo!! You're the first person I'll contact should I need go away/be dogless for a short period! X”
“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!”
“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. 🐾😊”
“We brought our bichon to Huifang for an overnight stay, she was very attentive to find out Miso’s needs and habits. Introducing him to the apartment and her Dog Asiah. We were updated with photos and info on the activities they did together. We've struggled to find anyone that Miso would be happy to stay with except family members until now. We are so impressed that we have arranged to have Miso stay whilst we are away with the kids this half term. 😊”
“Marina (with Vlad) was absolutely fantastic with Ozzy and fully deserving of star sitter status from our experience. It was his first time staying away from us while we went away for a week. He can be quite a dependent/attached dog, who is generally used to one of us being around, so it was really important for us to find someone suitable and understanding to his needs. Understandably the first days were tough for Ozzy - suddenly living in a new place with new people and probably wondering where we have gone, but the care and attention given to him clearly made him begin to feel at home (this was clear from the daily updates we received including photos and videos). Thank you very much for doing a great job”
“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!”
“Great job!! Aimee was amazing! She and her partner made my Ponti 🐈⬛ feel at home. I'm not even sure he wanted me back after all. All on time, updates with photos every day, very flexible. Totally responsible, kind, and friendly people! My cat is happy, so am I 🙂”
“We had an amazing experience with Daisy! She looked after our dog Happy and was absolutely wonderful! Daisy kept us updated with lots of photos and messages and it was clear that Happy was having the best time💖 She took him on long walks in the park and made sure he had plenty of playtime with other dogs 🐶 🐾 Daisy was also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated! We would 100% recommend her and we’ll definitely be leaving Happy with her again in the future!”
About: Hi my name is Sinéad and I love spending time with dogs. I moved to London this year leaving my family dog back in Ireland and really miss his company. Dogs bring me so much joy and I was always obsessed with dogs as a child. My parents finally gave in and got us a Collie when I was 12. She passed away in 2020 and then we got our current dog who is a German Shepard Collie cross. I trained him to do basic commands and all sorts of tricks to keep his brain busy! He is a high drive, high energy dog who required a lot of training and activity. They were both on the larger size so I am comfortable with large dogs! I also have experience looking after friends dogs from time to time who vary from a Dachshund to a Samoyed. I’m would love to take care of a dog that I can take for walks and have at home as well. I work in an office twice a week so am pretty flexible otherwise in terms of availability. I’m open spending time with dogs with anything from taking them for a walk to overnight stays. I live in a secure flat with a good sized living room space and can accommodate a crate if needs be. I don’t have any pets or children so they would have the space to themselves. I have a few small parks nearby to take them for walks and would be happy to venture further afield if they were comfortable doing so.

“Habiba is truly wonderful. She took amazing care of our cat and our home, going above and beyond. Shes very reliable and meticulous in following our asks. We will be asking for her help our next holiday for sure.”
“Our first time using the service and we were really impressed. Communication was great and our old lady cat was really well looked after . Very reassuring and we will definitely use Rover and Sidney again . Thank you so much Maggie and Colin”
“Samantha did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about animals. My cat was happy and well looked after the whole time. Highly recommend her for pet sitting!”
“Giovana was absolutely amazing with my two cats! I get very nervous leaving them especially because one of my cats has some serious health conditions but Giovana looked after them like her own, always updated me with pictures and videos and had no issues giving medications! Definitely would use her again 100% recommend!”
“Emily is the best--and most important, my cat Chaucer loved her!! I don't think I've ever met a more diligent or conceincous pet sitter before. Emily was communicative and flexible and always on top of everything and took great care of Chaucer while I was away for quite a long time. She sent pictures and videos for my peace of mind and I know that my cat was in the best of hands. I plan to use Emily again soon and know that my cat will enjoy his stay!”
“Enzo is a very shy cat with strangers but Norliyana was able to pet him from the very beginning, which is amazing. She followed all the instructions to the T. Everything was tidy, water was full and Enzo was happy. I would definitely call her again the next time we are put for a few days.”
“Winky is an excellent catsitter. She keeps my cat happy and well while I’m away. She reminded me when the litter is running out and picked up the order to refill Tesla’s litter. Very happy with the service! ”
“I am writing to highly recommend Orsolya for any cat sitting or pet care positions. She has cared for my cat on multiple occasions, for both short weekends and extended two-week vacations.During our time away, Orsolya was entirely dependable. They followed our specific feeding instructions flawlessly, kept the litter areas immaculate, and cuddled with Chris without any issues. My cat who is typically quite shy, warmed up to Orsolya very quickly, which speaks volumes about their gentle and patient demeanor.Not only did she provide excellent care for my pet, but she also respected my home by bringing in the mail and keeping the space tidy. I always returned to happy, relaxed cat and a pristine house.I would recommend Orsolya without hesitation to anyone seeking a responsible and loving caregiver for their feline companions”
“John did a great job looking after my 3 Maine Coons. He was extremely reliable sending pictures everyday. He really gave me peace of mind. I can highly recommend him. I can't thank him enough because I always find it hard to leave my my fur babies .”
“Initially we were nervous to use a cat sitter because we have never left Penny. She's always had a family member stay with her. But Jasmine's profile stood out. She had some excellent reviews and has her own cat, which helps when it comes to knowing their habits. Penny is a bit of a shy girl but Jasmine was patient with her, and once Penny warmed up Jasmine played with her and gave us detailed updates after each visit. Jasmine made sure Penny had fresh water and that she was ok. This put as at ease while we were away. There's no doubt we'll be using Jasmine again. We couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you Jasmine for taking such good care of Penny.”
About: Pets have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember! Currently, I am a proud pet parent to a one-eyed wonderful dog (a chorkie!) and two lovely cats (one ginger, one gray-ish/turtle-ish), so my home is always filled with daily tail wags, purrs, love and pet hair 🤭. While I am new to offering pet care on Rover, I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of raising three dogs and five cats in total, which has given me deep hands-on experience with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. I hold a very special place in my heart for senior pets and rescue animals with unique needs: * Special Needs & Mobility Care: I previously cared for my own paraplegic dog, which taught me patience, specialised handling, assistance with mobility, and how to keep special-needs pups comfortable, safe, and happy. * Senior Pet Advocate: I adopted one of my dogs when he was already 15 years old! I understand the extra tenderness, gentle pacing, and attentive care that golden oldies require. * Feline Friendly: Having raised five cats over the years, I am deeply tuned into cat body language. Whether your cat wants energetic playtime or quiet companionship while you're away, I’ll follow their lead. Whether your pet needs an energetic adventure, a slow and patient walk, daily cat drop-ins, or gentle care for their senior years, I treat every animal in my care with the exact same dedication, patience, and love as my own 🐾❤️
“Nazanin looked after our indoor Sib cat for nearly two months this summer. She is the best keeper as she works from home. Her place is clean and she took great care of Luna. She already has a litter tray so I did not need to bring any. She also made sure Luna did not go out by keeping her windows secure even though it was during several heatwaves! She also sent a few photos twice a day and was very responsive to my messages. When we came back to collect her, our cat didn’t want to leave! Would absolutely recommend Nazanin and will book her again.”
“Great job!! Aimee was amazing! She and her partner made my Ponti 🐈⬛ feel at home. I'm not even sure he wanted me back after all. All on time, updates with photos every day, very flexible. Totally responsible, kind, and friendly people! My cat is happy, so am I 🙂”
“Chia-Wen is so friendly and kind. Great communication! My two cats warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company for the couple of weeks she stayed in our flat with them. We could see how happy and relaxed they were in all the photos she sent us. The flat was well taken care of and everything was clean when we got back. Would highly recommend!”
“So thrilled I found Eleonora. She was reliable, gave daily updates and my cats were well looked after while we were away. Could trust her 100000 percent with my babies. Will definitely recommend and I will book Eleonora again! ”
“Meredith was excellent. She took great care to follow all my instructions, gave my kitten lots of pets and playtime, and took the best kitty photos. Would highly recommend!”
“Kamila has been great with Enzo. He is relaxed and she was able to give him his medication on time every single day. All is clean and in order. I will most definitely book her next time”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had multiple family pets since I was a child, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. My partner has also always had dogs and we live together and talk about how much we miss them all the time. We’d love to have our own dog, but can’t quite commit at the moment, which is why we really enjoy looking after other people’s pets. We moved to London just over a year ago and definitely miss having animals around day to day. My partner’s mum is a dog walker, so for the past five years we’ve spent lots of time helping out with walks, care and cuddles for many different dogs. I also love being active and spending time outdoors, and I’m always happy to go on long walks and give dogs plenty of attention and care. My partner and I both work hybrid, so we’re often working from home and able to spend lots of time with dogs throughout the day. We have a secure, fenced back garden, making it easy for regular outdoor breaks. We love being active so are sure to fit in walks before work, at lunchtime and again in the late afternoon. If staying over, we tend to have fairly chilled evenings, so we’ll be around to give dogs plenty of attention, company and cuddles. We’re also happy help out at weekends, when we can enjoy longer walks and more relaxed time outdoors. We always aim to create a calm, safe and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and at home. Our house is clean, secure and dog-friendly, with a fully walled back garden for safe outdoor time and regular breaks. We’re very mindful of routines, feeding instructions and any individual needs, and we’re happy to follow owner guidance closely. When caring for pets in our home, we treat them as if they were our own, making sure they feel settled, safe and well cared for at all times. We’re also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Simba stayed with Maria for day care. Maria took such great care of Simba! We received many updates including photos and videos. Great communication. Will definitely leave Simba with Maria again! :)”
About: Animals have always found me before I find them. Dogs wander over in the park. Cats settle beside me without being called. I grew up with a cat and learned early that every animal has its own rhythm. Some want a game. Others just want quiet company. I look after pets with patience. Nervous dogs get time to relax. Older pets get a slower pace. Young animals get gentle guidance and plenty of praise. Home is a comfortable flat beside Paddington Old Cemetery and Queen's Park. There is green space just moments away for toilet breaks, walks and plenty of fresh air. I know how much trust it takes to leave a pet with someone else. My neighbours trust me to cat-sit for them... and both Bruno and Nina (the cool cats in question) seem to have a great time too. I'll care for yours as if they were my own, and I'll keep you updated so you can relax while you're away. I work part-time, and mostly from home, so I have the flexibility to give pets the time they deserve. I'm available for boarding most days with a little notice. Walks, drop-in visits and short stays can often be arranged sooner, so it's always worth asking. I don't rush from one booking to the next. I enjoy being present. Whether your dog wants another lap around the park or your cat prefers an afternoon nap beside someone quiet, I'll adapt to what makes them feel settled. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know your pet is safe, comfortable and happy while you're away. Your pet's comfort comes first. My flat is bright, spacious and calm, with plenty of room to stretch out, play or simply watch the world go by. There's space for your pet's bed, crate or favourite blanket, and room for a litter tray if needed. Three green spaces are within a five-minute walk, including Paddington Old Cemetery and Queen's Park, so dogs have plenty of choice for toilet breaks, gentle strolls or longer walks. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings help many animals feel relaxed. I'll spend quality time with them, whether that means playing, cuddling, grooming, feeding or simply keeping them company. I understand that leaving a pet with someone new can feel daunting. I'll treat your home with respect, your pet with kindness, and I'll keep you informed throughout their stay. My aim is simple. I want them to feel safe, and I want you to enjoy your time away knowing they're in good hands.
About: I have been boarding, sitting, walking and playing with dogs for the past 2 years. Experienced with puppies, dogs with disabilities and dogs with many unique personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. Pets in my care are never just “watched” — they’re truly cared for. I offer companionship throughout the day, structured routines, enrichment through walks and play, and quiet rest time. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and happy.
“Gabriela and her husband were such great sitters. Lovely and kind, communicative and conscientious. They took amazing and proactive care of our fluffy pomeranians in a heat wave, giving them lots of water, ice packs, and taking them to the park, and always keeping us posted. Loved to see the dogs come back so happy and well looked after!”
“Have used Taina a few times for both daycare and boarding, Rocky loves staying with Taina and playing with her friendly dog Penny 🙂 I received frequent updates and pictures of Rocky, always quick to respond to messages.”
“We had Daisy-May watch our 6 month old puppy Bonnie for an afternoon while we are still working on her independence & separation anxiety. She did a great job watching Bonnie, sending lots of pictures and giving lots of snuggles! We'd definitely have Daisy-May watch Bonnie again in the future, and we're looking forward to doing so!”
“Thanks very much Sara for looking after Chewie!! Sara sent me pictures of my dog all throughout the evening which I appreciated a lot. Chewie was comfortable and well taken care of, so many thanks again Sara”
“Marina was very attentive to bunny, constantly giving us updates while we were away. She had a lot of fun with Marina and she slept all evening when we got her back! Definitely recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Curtis. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine a world without them. My own dog passed away two years ago, and I’ve really felt the absence of having a furry companion around. I am used to all kinds of breeds and big and small fury friends- Dogs just make me genuinely happy and I naturally gravitate towards them wherever I go. There is a chance I have asked to say hello to your dog if I have seen them around haha. I’m based in West Hampstead and would love the chance to spend time with a dog again, whether company during the day/evening, or helping out when you need it. I have an open-plan living in my flat which offers some space for your lovely pet, they won't feel cramped in a small room. I even have an outdoor space which is secured, so they can roam around and get some fresh air. I am also happy to come over and pet-sit if you feel more comfortable with your pet in their natural environment. I’m caring, reliable, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friends! I work evenings in Central so day times work perfectly, however this can be changed and shifted if you do need help in the evenings :) I’m a performer, so my schedule can be quite flexible, although I also work some evenings at a theatre in Central London. My theatre shifts are generally in the evenings, which means I’m ideally available for pet care during the daytime and can give your pet plenty of time, attention and companionship. 🐾 Because my shifts can be flexible, I can sometimes arrange or swap an evening shift if needed. I’m always happy to work around your pet’s routine wherever possible, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, play and care while they’re with me ❤️ I have an outdoor space which is secure so your furry friends can get some fresh air and remain safe. I have uploaded some photos of the place so you can have a look, we have a 2 level flat so they shouldn't feel cramped!
About: Experience with dog walking through borrow my doggy for 2 years and for family friends Raised in dog loving household, some experience with dog training Experience predominantly with medium and small dog breeds, but happy to also work with larger breeds Would be happy to walk two dogs at same time from the same household Most flexibility on mornings of week days, more limited on weekends. Also happy to do pet sitting in both my house or owners house, have experience with this. Kind and loving nature towards all animals Know all the best scratch spots Always spoil my own pets with love, kindness and maybe a bit too much attention
About: I grew up with dogs (dalmatians and labradors) and have a genuine love of animals. I have had experience as a professional dog walker: I used to work for Murray’s Walkers when I was younger and supervise walks of up to 8 dogs at a time in the Wimbledon area. I always put the animal first and am a calm and responsible walker. Honestly more of a dog person over a cat person, better suited to large breed dogs but happy to look after whatever you have. Work wise I’m very flexible and available at short notice so let me know if you’re interested! At the moment I work evenings (I’m a musician and a DJ) so my days are wide open. I live in Tulse Hill and am close to many green spaces (Brockwell park, Dulwich / Belair parks) and spend plenty of time in the day walking in nature. If you required me to sit please explain to me your dog’s diet / routine / medical needs / behaviours (if there are any worth noting) and I’ll adapt around both your needs and those of your pet.
“Oliwia was very accommodating with my work hours, communicated well and gave some super cute updates of Buster during his time there. This put me right at ease, and was very comforting for future bookings :)”
About: I have over 35yrs experience in animal husbandry, having grown up on a farm. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs on palliative care who are in need of medication and special attention. I'm currently training in canine behaviour and have a rambunctious pup of my own keeping me on my toes! Sybil is very dog friendly and non territorial in the home. Together we love bonding over fun learning, adventures and plenty of cuddles! My approach is flexible, kind and clear with the dogs welfare as my top priority. I am self employed so my work is flexible and not fixed. I am happy to work around the dogs I have to stay in my home and they will become a part of the family. I'm an active person and I love being out and about - especially with a dog in tow! I live in a split level basement flat with access to a small fenced garden (6ft high). Sybil, our staffie puppy lives with us and she is a very friendly, exuberant pooch! She loves other dogs, but is also respectful of their space - your dog must be friendly also. We have stairs but if your pooch has problems with these I am happy to lift them up and down (weight permitting!). The garden is small but they have access in and out as they please all day. We have a park at the end of the road and when we have doggy guests we will take them to the Heath, to Primrose Hill and make use of the wonderful open spaces we have at our disposal. If your dog enjoys galavanting about town then I will take them with me to different places, if they are a homebody or nervous, we shall stay at home. As much info as you can give me about how your dog behaves and what they love to do or don't love to do, will help me give them the best experience possible.
“Our dog has been with Natalia for 3 days and had the best time. She was brand new to London and a bit nervous to start, but after the third day she's been playing with the other dogs as if she's been here forever. Natalia even gave us some tips on training. 100% recommend.”
“Paddy was great with Alfie. Very prompt and friendly in his responses and communications and in providing updates. Alfie looked sad to be leaving him which is a sure sign that he had a good day at Paddy’s place. I would not hesitate to book day care with Paddy again.”
About: Hi there! I'm Renna, and I’d love to look after your dog. I live in a flat with a balcony and have a friendly Dachshund who loves playing with other dogs. I grew up with dogs, so I know how important it is to provide them with lots of love, care, and attention. There’s a park nearby where we’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor adventures together. You can trust that I’ll take great care of your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy during their stay. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently work very flexibly so would be able to work around your dog, making sure he or she has a good walk and lots of toys to play with I live in a flat, with a balcony which has a piddle patch on it. There is a grassy area downstairs if your dog would prefer to go to the toilet there.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I was surrounded by all types of pets, which taught me how to read their body language and give them the exact care they need. I’m particularly experienced with pets that require extra attention or specialized care. Twice a year for weeks at a time, I sit for cats with high medical needs, handling strict dietary routines and daily medications with ease. I also care for my family’s very large dog whenever I’m home. Most of all, I genuinely love animals, I even rescued my pet goldfish from freezing outside on the street 1.5 years ago! Whether your pet is high-needs or just needs a loving companion, I’ll treat them with so much love! I work from home 3 days a week, which gives me great flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, and attention. Living right next to a communal garden makes it super easy to step outside for fresh air and quick strolls whenever your pet needs it! Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities whether I’m hosting a pet at my flat or staying in your home. In my home: My flat is on the first floor, which makes it very accessible and safe for puppies or senior dogs who struggle with stairs. The space is completely pet-proofed with zero hazards, open cords, or dangerous items in reach. Plus, we have a communal garden right outside for quick, secure potty breaks throughout the day. In your home: I stick strictly to your pet’s usual routine, dietary guidelines, and house rules to keep them feeling secure in their own space. I’m extremely respectful of your home and always leave it clean and locked up securely. Above all, I keep you updated with frequent photos and messages throughout the stay so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved.

“Declan was on time - spent some time with Pax before he even took him out for his walk. From the onset, Declan was super calm and friendly. I cannot recommend a more lovely person to look after my pup!”
About: I’ve had my own dog for over 11 years. Before this I grew up with a family dog. I just love dogs so much! I cook for my dog every week, take my dog on holidays, hikes, climbing. I bring my dog to the office whenever needed. I enjoy the daily walks with dogs, 4 times a day at least! I brush their teeth daily. I’ve also looked after friend’s dogs and cats many times. I genuinely find it peaceful and enjoyable to be with animals and see them just sniffing around, exploring or playing. Have experience looking after puppies and senior dogs. All dogs deserve our love :) My work is flexible and I can accommodate and adjust my schedule wherever needed. Pet care is very easy to me as I’m so familiar with everything. I have a fenced garden and a very friendly and chilled senior dog at home. Live near a big park where I go for dog walks daily. I walk my dog at least 4 times a day.
“Aimee was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever, Bess. From our first meet and greet, I could tell she was totally capable, confident and genuinely loves dogs. Bess is getting a bit older and can be a little wary of new people, but she settled with Aimee straight away, which really put my mind at ease. Bess stayed overnight, had a lovely long evening walk and another walk the following morning, and I received updates with some great photos throughout her stay. Another real bonus was receiving photos of Bess enjoying Aimee’s outdoor space and completely secure, fenced garden, which gave us extra peace of mind knowing she could safely enjoy some fresh air. Aimee’s partner was also there to welcome Bess into their home, and together they created such a calm, caring environment. It was clear Bess was treated like one of the family. Thank you, Aimee, for taking such great care of Bess. It’s so reassuring knowing she’s in such safe hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. I think Bess is already looking forward to her next sleepover!”

I'll treat your home with respect, your pet with kindness, and I'll keep you informed throughout their stay. My aim is simple. I want them to feel safe, and I want you to enjoy your time away knowing they're in good hands.
About: I work closely with my sister, who is a trained veterinarian with over 8 years of experience. Her background brings an extra level of care and confidence, especially when it comes to puppies, senior dogs, and pets with medical or emotional needs. We're comfortable administering medication, providing attentive care, and even using natural support like essential oils — especially helpful for anxious dogs or those dealing with separation anxiety. We both work from home, so your pet will receive constant supervision, gentle attention, and daily walks, all in a peaceful and loving environment. We truly care for each pet as if they were part of our own family — with patience, safety, and lots of cuddles. 🐾💛 My sister Giovana and I both work from home, which gives us the flexibility to easily fit pet care into our daily routine. We organize our schedules so that one of us is always available — if one of us isn't available, the other steps in ensuring consistency and attention for every pet we look after. We’ve always been surrounded by dogs since childhood, and caring for them has become a natural part of our lives. Having Giovana’s background as a trained veterinarian with 8+ years of experience is a big plus — it gives us confidence in handling different pet personalities, health needs, and emotional behaviors. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, playtime, or just giving comfort, we’re here with love, attention, and a calm home your pet can feel safe in. 🐶💛 At home, we make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We offer cozy spaces to rest, supervised playtime, regular walks, and lots of affection throughout the day. We keep the home environment calm and welcoming — just like a second home. When visiting a client’s home, we always respect the pet’s routine, space, and specific needs. We follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any instructions provided, making sure your pet stays happy and stress-free. We also adjust our care based on the service: – For walks, we focus on safety, exercise, and fun. – For drop-in visits, we check food, water, and give playtime or cuddles. – For overnight stays or boarding, we give full-time attention, routines, and extra care. Whether at our place or yours, your pet will be in loving, experienced hands. 🐾💛
“Manuela was amazing throughout the time she was looking after Penny. She took efforts to visit and meet Penny way before the walking times so that she can meet Penny and get familiar with her things. She kept me updated with every small details abt her visits and walks. She went extra miles to help me and to take care of Penny ! Thank you so much Manuela ! I would definitely recommend Manuela, if you are looking for something knowledgeable, trustworthy and genuine to look after your fur babies.”
About: I used to volunteer at a vet clinic so I have experience taking care of sick animals. Fed them, cleaned them, kept them company... I had 2 cats too. I am not working at the moment so I'm available available full time. I can do home visits and stay with them for a bit and walk dogs. I'll feed them and I'll make sure they have everything. I can play with them and keep them company. Or if there is anything else they might need.
“Sidney clearly has a gift for making dogs feel safe and respected . Both my big dog (collie/ retriever ) and small dog ( King Charles spaniel) trusted Sidney and were happy to go on hour long walks in Gladstone Park with him. It was a bonus that he could drive to collect them so they got longer playing ball in the woods .He is punctual, organised and very calm. His extensive experience with animals meant both myself and the dogs felt safe and happy . He has good control combined with playfulness which the dogs loved . I would use Sidney’s services again.”
About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals, I currently have 3 dogs and one cat of my own back home in Ireland. I have provided dog walking and check in services before, many friends have also needed me to keep their dogs overnight. One of my own dogs is reactive so I have plenty of experience with both people reactive and dog reactive dogs. My own dogs are all very active breeds so I’m well versed with the needs of high energy dogs! My cat is an older cat who requires medication and assistance for certain things so I am also experienced with more senior pets. I’m currently a student which means I can have a flexible schedule during the week and am completely available at the weekends! Early morning/ late evening walks are also no issue for me. When caring for your pets in your home they will be loved like they’re my own! Any routines or special requirements will be followed.
“Yasamin was really quick and answering. Matt seemed at ease with her right away even though he was testing her limits a bit! She was absolutely lovely, I would definitely recommend her and book her services again!”
“Meredith is a great! She was warm and friendly with my hyper dog and gave her lots of cuddles and pets. She offers great communication and takes lots of pics. I’m so sad she’s leaving the area, as I would use her as my go to dog walker forever!”
“Eva is such a lovely person and Winnie absolutely adores her. She is also very reliable and flexible with last minute requests (both for walks and dog sitting). We are glad to have found someone we trust and who Winnie loves spending time with.”
About: I've cared for both large and small dogs, including my own Golden Retriever/Labrador mix and a Shih Tzu I looked after for an entire summer. These experiences taught me how important it is to provide pets with consistent care, attention, exercise, and lots of affection. I'm home most of the day, so your pet will receive plenty of company, and I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am available any day and time of the week and would love to get started right away. For example my availabilities are Monday-Sunday (9am - 11pm) I ensure that they are fed accordingly and that they get the sufficient amount of exercise required. I also make sure that I engage with them as animals (especially dogs) always need attention and love!
About: I grew up caring for our family dog for around six years, helping with daily walks, feeding, play, and general care. I’ve also regularly looked after dogs and cats for family and friends while they were away, making sure pets stayed relaxed, well-fed, and happy in their own routine. More recently, I’ve become very interested in canine behaviour and training, and I enjoy learning how to better understand dogs’ body language, needs, and personalities so I can care for them more thoughtfully. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and time throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, including overnight stays, and I plan my routine around the pets I’m caring for to maintain consistency with their normal feeding, walking, and play times. I always aim to care for pets in a calm, safe, and respectful way, following the owner’s instructions closely. I’m attentive to routines, feeding guidelines, and any specific needs or preferences. I keep a close eye on pets during walks and play, and I’m careful to notice changes in behaviour or mood. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners feel relaxed knowing their pet is well cared for.
“Amazing dog walker. Laura is so kind and gentle with my dog but also very clear at giving her directions and understanding my dogs needs. She is also very reliable, punctual and trust worthy. I would absolutely recommend Laura.”
About: With years of experience, I’ve lovingly cared for my friends’ dogs and cats as if they were my own family members when their owners were away. Ensuring their comfort, happiness, and well-being is my top priority. I am currently fully remote, so my schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and lovely attention and care to your cat/dog :) I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in both my home and the pet owner’s home. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed, maintain a clean and comfortable space, and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. Regular check-ins and updates offer peace of mind, reinforcing trust and ensuring the pets’ well-being.
About: I've been dog and cat minding for over five years, caring for pets of all ages and needs. Having grown up around both cats and dogs as well as taking care of them I have grown attentive to different personalities and needs. I'm happy with playful younger ones or more senior pets who need a gentler, more attentive routine. I know every animals has their own personality and habits, and I make sure to take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable. I'm based in Kilburn and cover Hampstead, Willesden and Queens Park too. Feel free to get in touch if interested and I’m happy to have a chat and answer any questions! I keep a flexible schedule and can generally fit visits in most days of the week, and happy to adapt to whatever routine works best for your pet. I can do a quick daily drop-in or multi-visit schedule, which ever is required. I always make sure to keep a consistent visit schedule to keep a good routine for your pet. I make sure to treat every house with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. On each visit, I follow the owner's routine closely. I can send photo and video updates via WhatsApp during visits if you the owner would like.
About: I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience pet sitting for a diversity of dogs and cats. I am an experienced dog walker and love to go on long walks! I have administered medication for aging dogs and have managed walking dogs that may not be trained well on leash. At home in the States, I have family pets that I miss dearly! I have 2 chocolate labradors, Tilly (6 years old) and Winnie (12 years old), and a cat Purrcy (8 years). I welcome the opportunity to care for, exercise, and give attention to your pets! I'm currently completing my Masters degree and working from home, meaning I have ample time during the day for attentive drop-ins and long walks! I can make my schedule currently so I have a lot of flexibility and can match my availability to your needs! I prefer weekday walking / drop-ins. I do not have availability to board at the moment, but have lots of experience with drop-ins and house+pet sitting! I am respectful of others and always leave spaces as I find them. I understand the importance of home security and ensure consideration when entering and exiting your home!
About: I grew up in Hampstead surrounded by dogs. We had a family dog for 15 years who was the love of my life. I was his main carer whilst he underwent chemotherapy. We now have an Italian Greyhound but I live away from home and still crave dog walks on the Heath! I’ve also travelled abroad with dogs and often look after my best friend’s dog Echo who speaks French. I work from home and walk before and after work every day. I also spend most of my weekends on the Heath with my family and our family dog or alone! I work from home and live in a flat with my partner with private outside space. I’m close proximity to parks and residential areas.

“Barby and Nacho looked after our dachshund Hamish for five nights and we are so lucky we found them, especially on short notice. They are the type of sitters that dog owners dream of for their beloved fur family members. They sent progress pictures, reassuring texts and we never worried for a second. Hamish loved the back garden and I am sure he is looking forward to his next holiday at Barby's house. 10/10 recommend. Thank you!”
“I have been very lucky to find Sarah. She has a wealth of experience looking after animals and I knew when I met her that Romeo would settle down quickly in her care. Her dogs are adorable and she's a lovely, lovely person. She is experienced, reliable, trustworthy and kind - look no further! Sarah is wonderful. Thank you Sarah for looking after Romeo!! You're the first person I'll contact should I need go away/be dogless for a short period! X”
“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. 🐾😊”
“We brought our bichon to Huifang for an overnight stay, she was very attentive to find out Miso’s needs and habits. Introducing him to the apartment and her Dog Asiah. We were updated with photos and info on the activities they did together. We've struggled to find anyone that Miso would be happy to stay with except family members until now. We are so impressed that we have arranged to have Miso stay whilst we are away with the kids this half term. 😊”
“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!”
“Great job!! Aimee was amazing! She and her partner made my Ponti 🐈⬛ feel at home. I'm not even sure he wanted me back after all. All on time, updates with photos every day, very flexible. Totally responsible, kind, and friendly people! My cat is happy, so am I 🙂”
“We had an amazing experience with Daisy! She looked after our dog Happy and was absolutely wonderful! Daisy kept us updated with lots of photos and messages and it was clear that Happy was having the best time💖 She took him on long walks in the park and made sure he had plenty of playtime with other dogs 🐶 🐾 Daisy was also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated! We would 100% recommend her and we’ll definitely be leaving Happy with her again in the future!”
About: Hi my name is Sinéad and I love spending time with dogs. I moved to London this year leaving my family dog back in Ireland and really miss his company. Dogs bring me so much joy and I was always obsessed with dogs as a child. My parents finally gave in and got us a Collie when I was 12. She passed away in 2020 and then we got our current dog who is a German Shepard Collie cross. I trained him to do basic commands and all sorts of tricks to keep his brain busy! He is a high drive, high energy dog who required a lot of training and activity. They were both on the larger size so I am comfortable with large dogs! I also have experience looking after friends dogs from time to time who vary from a Dachshund to a Samoyed. I’m would love to take care of a dog that I can take for walks and have at home as well. I work in an office twice a week so am pretty flexible otherwise in terms of availability. I’m open spending time with dogs with anything from taking them for a walk to overnight stays. I live in a secure flat with a good sized living room space and can accommodate a crate if needs be. I don’t have any pets or children so they would have the space to themselves. I have a few small parks nearby to take them for walks and would be happy to venture further afield if they were comfortable doing so.
About: For years, I've taken care of mostly bigger dogs, for example a malinois and a rottweiler. Smaller dogs, as well as cats, offer me no problems and I am happy to take care of any sized pet. I like to gravitate towards pets and everyone tells me that pets gravitate back to me, making interactions easier on more shy or timid animals. I like to give animals their own space, however I am happy to do the opposite for more active and energetic dogs. My schedule is currently very free, I'm happy to take any bookings whether it's on weekdays or weekends. I would just need bookings to be one day in advance so I can properly adjust any activities/plans I would be doing. Dogs are energetic pets, so I try to give them as much time outside as possible, or play with them to burn away energy. If a garden is unavailable, playing inside will need to be careful and monitored, making sure nothing is damaged in the process. Cats usually require more personal space to feel safe, and I am more than happy to leave them to their own world if needed.
“Renata did an amazing job looking after Leo and Osi. We have left them with her multiple times already and we have the peace of mind that they are well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing experience, Rocky had a lot of fun and was really well looked after and got a lot of good photos and videos too ! Highly recommend and will definitely come back when need be”
“Thanks Harry. An absolute gent! Took care of our little dog, was sensitive and reassuring and helpes guide us through the process, through the entire stay keeping us updated. We shall be booking again for sure. Thabks again Harry”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Kiwi received while I was away on holiday. 🐾❤️ Kiwi was looked after with so much love, care and attention, which gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my holiday without worrying. I was sent photos and updates of Kiwi, and it was clear that Kiwi was comfortable, happy and really well cared for, and that meant so much to me. Knowing my cat was in such kind and trustworthy hands made all the difference. I would definitely recommend Evangelia to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet as if they were their own. Thank you so much to you and your partner for taking such amazing care of Kiwi! 🐱💕 You will definitely be missed.”
About: I have over 40 years experience with dogs from Labradors, and working/cattle dogs to miniatures and Chows. Have worked with the active, the sleepy, the reactive, the needy and the sick. Understand all dogs are unique and have needs that reflect their personalities and am happy to accommodate. Truth is I like dogs much more than people, treat them with a lot of love, respect and care (as my own) but also firmness and real focus when needed. I work remotely/from home so can be flexible but also be really present with your dog. Our house is filled with light, wood floors and we have French doors to a large fenced garden so they can sniff around in and have scope to go in and out as they like while still supervised. Also located very close to some large parks (like Queen’s) for longer walks. I am a business consultant and currently work for myself in a fully remote capacity. I can walk at any time of the day and do drops in as needed as I schedule my own time. I have a spacious light filled home with large French doors the open onto a large fences garden. The dogs (in the right weather) are free to move between the two as the wish and I can supervise safely. The front garden is also fenced and gated. We live between two vets and two large parks.
