“Mara was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures and videos of the cats playing and engaging with her while we were away. She let me know of a possible medical issue too so I could follow up at home. I would definitely recommend Mara to others.”
About: I’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember and currently live with two wonderful cats Chelsea & Cleo, so I understand just how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their environment. Over the years, I’ve cared for many cats with different personalities from confident and playful to shy and independent. I’m very aware that every cat is unique, and I always take the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and boundaries. With a background in science and a strong personal interest in animal behaviour, I take a calm, observant approach to cat care. I pay close attention to body language and subtle changes, ensuring your cat feels secure and stress free while you’re away. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and interaction or prefers quiet companionship and space, I adapt fully to them. I’m happy to provide feeding, litter care, play, enrichment, and plenty of gentle attention always on their terms. For me, caring for cats is never just a task it’s something I genuinely enjoy. My priority is making sure your cat is happy, relaxed, and well looked after, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Senior dogs: I have grown up with pets in the household, our Labrador Sid lived for 14 years. I helped care for him into his senior years, administering medication, taking him on short walks and giving him all the love and attention he deserved. Puppies: Two years ago we welcomed a Cocker Spaniel puppy, Ted into the family and I looked after him whilst working from home during the pandemic, so I have a lot of experience with high energy puppies that require a lot of stimulation, love and attention. I have been a trusted dog sitter/walker for neighbours, friends and family for over 14 years. I moved to London over a year ago and miss being around pets in the family home. Cats: I am a frequent catsitter for 2 very easy going cats that require feeding twice a day and lots of cuddles playtime. I currently work from home fulltime and I have plenty of time for your pets during the week including walks and toilet breaks. I also have regular weekend availability. I live in a ground floor flat in Ladywell with an enclosed garden with my friend Ellie. I’m a 5 minute walk away from Hilly Fields and close to lots of local beautiful green space.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, with experience ranging from Beagles and Rottweilers to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Over the years, I’ve built a strong, natural connection with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m calm, nurturing, and always respectful of each dog’s individual needs and personality. My partner also has extensive experience with dogs, and we work together as a team. There is always one of us at home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I’m more than happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident. My partner works from home everyday and I am home from Sunday till Tuesday every week. There is always someone at home and we are happy to take care of you precious dog. We live in an apartment on the 1st floor. Not recommend big dogs for us. We accept only dogs that has a relax temper and not barking much. We have a separate bathroom and bedroom and living room and plenty enough space to host a dog.
“Our Labrador Penny had a fantastic day with Alessia. Communication was excellent, with updates along the way, and flexibility offered around times at short notice. Penny was taken for 3 walks. Alessia is a treasure, and we are going to book Penny in with her regularly. I highly recommend Alessia.”
“Ana and her family are the sweetest. They are very accommodating to Nucleus' needs. They played a lot with him and gave him so much exercise. They also made him comfortable at home.”
“Diany has been absolutely fantastic with our Beauceron puppy, Brimo. She comes back super relaxed and happy, ready for a nap and some cuddles. It means a lot to us being able to leave Brimo with someone we trust and who takes such good care of her while we get on with other things. Really recommend Diany if you’re looking for someone to keep your pet safe and happy :)”

About: My family had two Shibas and one Corgi, and I’ve enjoyed caring for them—feeding, walking, playing, and running together. I’ve also occasionally cared for my friend’s Cockapoo puppy, ensuring all the dogs feel happy, comfortable, entertained, and loved whenever I’m around. As a freelancer working from home, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing plenty of availability throughout the whole week. I can easily accommodate multiple dog walks or pet-sitting bookings daily, ensuring your pup gets continuous care and attention. I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly flat with easy access to a beautiful green space nearby, perfect for frequent walks and playtime.

About: I’ve had family dogs for over 20 years and have happily agreed to dog-sit for them whenever needed. I love to go on walks with dogs so would be happy to take them out as much as they require. I’m currently unemployed and only working very flexible volunteering shifts so can be available in the week or on weekends. Overnight stays also welcome! I live on a third floor flat which is quite small so if sitting at ours would have to be small/medium dogs. We have a shared garden but I would take the dogs to the park which is a 2 min walk away.

“Dennis loved his day and made a new doggy best friend. Erika was really communicative and sent updates through the day. Thank you Erika, Dennis can’t wait to hang with you guys again.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life; I grew up sharing my life with Sombra, a rescued maltese mix. Since I can’t live without dogs I adopted my current angels Magic and Spider some years ago in Spain, and now they live with me in London. I believe dogs are the best thing to ever exist and I love their love and company. As a dog owner myself, I know how important is to feel at ease when leaving your dogs with someone else; so if you need a helping hand, count me in! I enjoy walking, training and spending time with dogs. I live in a quiet area close to Brockley. My house has a little interior terrace where my dogs sunbathe and enjoy smelling the plants and flowers and catching some fresh air when also being at home. Hilly fields is very close by and we go there often to unwind and release energy. I work from home most of the days, and Magic and Spider are very welcoming dogs. We go for walk before the work day starts, at lunch break and after work. I am currently working from home on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday every week and can accommodate changing schedule if there is an urgency. I start working at 9am and my break is from 1 to 2pm, finishing work at 6pm. I have a nice cozy home with lots of natural light and a small ground floor terrace with plants. I live with my partner and my two dogs, Magic and Spider.
“Susan was great from start to finish! Really efficient hand over, great communication, lots of affection for Marley boy! Thank you so much for looking after him.”
“Taty was so lovely! She was really patient and caring towards Otter (he's not his usual self as he is recovering from surgery and needed the extra care), and understanding what he's going through at the moment. She knows what she's doing - and I'm confident leaving Otter in her care. Otter warmed up to her quickly and missed her when I took him home... He sulked in his bed the whole night! Bless him. I highly recommend Taty.”

About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 7 and am now the proud mum of two cats! I truly love cats and dogs like family! I’m a teacher who loves animals. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats. I’m available for drop ins or walks at weekends. From Monday 13th July I’m on summer holidays so can be available during the week too for your summer holidays. The most important thing to me is listening to the owner when they tell me about their pets needs. Their favourite walk, toy or treat can all help me to get to know their pet and ensure they are comfortable and content!
About: Experienced with small, big , puppies and elderly dogs . Of all personalties . Experienced and confident with anxious animals with an understanding for their needs and patience with all personalities. Since I was a little girl I have loved animals , I have been lucky to raise and train my own dog from puppy to fully grown . I currently live with two beautiful cats so Am lucky to be surrounded by furry friends. I have looked after animals for many years , simply because I love them and animal welfare is so important to me , it brings me peace of mind when I know they are in safe hands I also come from a scientific background so have good knowledge and a personal interest in animal behaviour and psychology and believe it’s something paramount to optimal wellbeing of our animal friends. I love being outdoors and taking dogs on long walks , equally I am happy to cuddle or play with them at home. So long as the little one is happy I am happy and finally working with animals is not a chore nor does it feel like work , I enjoy it I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting on a full-time basis. This allows me to dedicate consistent, one-to-one time and attention to the animals in my care, rather than splitting my focus. My routine is structured around fitness, which means I naturally maintain a disciplined and active lifestyle. On the days I am caring for pets, I am able to prioritise their needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being present to ensure they feel calm and secure. I live close to two large, safe parks which are ideal for dog walking, enrichment, and exercise. I also have access to a private back garden for additional outdoor time in a secure environment. Overall, I am able to offer a high level of availability, consistency, and attention, ensuring your pet is never left feeling unattended or unsettled. Providing a safe, calm, and secure environment is my top priority when caring for any animal whether in my home or in an owner’s home. My home is very pet-friendly, with no carpets and a layout that allows for easy cleaning and hygiene. There are secure doors and the ability to section off areas if needed, which is particularly useful for introducing animals gradually or keeping them separated for comfort and safety. I live with two friendly cats, and I have extensive experience managing multi-animal environments. However, I fully understand that not all animals are comfortable around others, so I am completely happy and confident separating pets. The house is set up with both upstairs and downstairs spaces, making it easy to keep animals apart in a calm and controlled way if required. There are no children in the home just myself and 2 other female house members who are all animal lovers. During the day, it is usually just me at home, though occasionally house members may be working quietly in separate rooms. The environment remains calm, predictable, and low-stress. Alongside my hands on experience, I have spent time independently learning about animal welfare, behaviour, and safety. I am confident in recognising signs of stress or discomfort and always aim to create an environment where animals feel secure and understood. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will fully respect your space and follow your routines closely to maintain familiarity for your pet. I understand how important consistency is, and I will ensure their usual feeding, walking, and care routines are followed as closely as possible. Most importantly, I prioritise your preferences as an owner. I am always open to guidance and happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and any training approaches you would like maintained. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for safely, thoughtfully, and with genuine attention.
“This was our first time using Larissa’s services, and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was absolutely fantastic with my dogs, Georgia and Brenda, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. From the start, Larissa was caring, reliable, and attentive, treating them as if they were her own. Both Georgia and Brenda clearly felt comfortable with her straight away, which says a lot. She is punctual, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Larissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely kind dog walker. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Adrian has been absolutely incredible for our pup, Albie. He's always so upbeat and energised and Albie comes back from all of his walks happy, tired, and content. I can't recommend Adrian enough, he's lovely person as well as Albie's best mate!”
“Bryn had an amazing time in the snow with Amanda! We really appreciated her expertise with larger and strong dogs and are so pleased to find a friendly and experienced safe pair of hands for walks with him going forwards.”

About: As a couple, we offer a dedicated and reliable pet care experience with plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. Having two of us means pets receive more interaction throughout the day, helping them feel comfortable, engaged, and never alone for long periods. We both genuinely love animals and take the time to understand each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s energetic dogs who need long walks and playtime, or more relaxed pets who prefer a calm and quiet environment, we adapt our care to suit them. We are attentive to important details such as feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. We also understand how important consistency is, especially for anxious pets or those staying away from home for the first time. What sets us apart is our teamwork, reliability, and ability to provide consistent care and companionship throughout the day, along with regular updates so pet parents always feel reassured and connected. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as both my partner and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Working together allows us to provide plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. We understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so we take the time to learn their needs and make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in our care. Whether it's a long walk, keeping an energetic dog active, or giving a shy cat a calm and relaxing environment, we work as a team to ensure each pet receives the care and attention they deserve. We also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities.

In our home, we provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. Because there are two of us, your pet benefits from extra supervision and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in their owner's home, we respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space. We follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully to ensure consistency and minimize stress for your pet.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. My very first dog joined our family when I was 8 years old in Spain and she became like a sister to me, being a single child myself. We spent 14 wonderful years together. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs in both London and Brighton, looking after friends’ pets ranging from small to medium breeds such as greyhounds, whippets, Brussels griffons, lurchers, and more. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need patience and playtime, as well as older dogs who may require gentler handling or extra care. Because of my personal and hands-on experience, I know how important it is to provide affection, consistency, and a safe environment that makes each dog feel secure and loved. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every dog as if they were my own giving them not just the basics of feeding and walking, but also companionship and care tailored to their needs. I am an academic and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your dog during the week. From Monday to Friday, I can adapt walks, play, and feeding times around your pet’s routine. The only exceptions are when I need to travel for work or visit family in Spain for holidays. We live in a comfortable two-bedroom flat with a spacious living room and a balcony. Our home provides a safe environment for pets to feel at ease. Just a short walk away are lovely green spaces such as Hilly Fields, Brockley Cemetery, and Ladywell Fields perfect for long walks and some outdoor playtime. I take safety and trust seriously: I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep to your dog’s routine, and send regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is to create a warm, secure, and caring environment where your dog feels happy and loved.
About: I grew up with a large dog and since then have been taking care of friends’ dogs and dogs of all sizes from borrow my doggy and now Rover I only work part time as I’m studying for a Masters so I’m often at home and my schedule is flexible and easy to fit around a dog’s needs. I don’t have any pets of my own so can provide a calm environment for your pet. I’m happy to look after dogs in owner’s homes or at my flat which is spacious, however, doesn’t have a garden so I would provide regular toilet breaks and walks.

About: I’ve had three lovely Shih Tzus since I was a child, so looking after pups has always been a big part of my life that I’ve been hugely missing since moving to London! I’ve got lots of experience with all the everyday parts of dog care, including walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime! I also regularly dog-sit for family and friends so I've looked after a range of breeds, ages, and personalities. I work full-time during the week, but working from home at least 2-3x a week, along with my partner, which gives me plenty of time for walks, toilet breaks, and company throughout the day. On office days, I'm available for evening walks and care after work. I'm also available for boarding Fri-Mon, so your pup will have lots of attention and time with me. I live in a spacious 2nd floor flat with a large balcony where dogs can relax and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine - though this can be shut off if needed! My home has super easy access to plenty of parks and green spaces directly nearby, so it is easy to have walks and outdoor time.
“Fraser kindly accepted an overnight stay for Huck with short notice, which was much appreciated. He was quick and easy to communicate with and Huck had a great time! He had checked with us beforehand if Huck would be alright to bring along for a quick drink in a pub garden, which Huck is always happy and well accustomed to :D Fraser shared updates and pics throughout his stay, which is always lovely to receive and reassures you that your dog is well looked after! Thank you!”
“The best dog sitter and such a lovely person! I dropped Nellie quite last minute, she was so welcoming, and her dog dill is super cute too. Had amazing photo updates and would definitely recommend! A brilliant dog sitter you can trust xx”
“Olivia did such a great job with my pup. Leaving him is always hard but Olivia kept in touch with updates letting me know he was just fine. He came back to me happy and tired from his fun weekend away.”
“Saskia is incredible! Super friendly and so kind, and kept us updated throughout his stay. Pancake had a blast! He's now snoozing on the sofa after his walks and run about the garden. Happy pup and happy owners- We'll definitely rebook with Saskia ❤️”
“Isabelle took my last minute request to look after Woody and I can’t thank her enough! She was very accommodating and woody came home happy, cared for and ready for a snooze - perfect! Will definitely book with her again ⭐️🩷”
