About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have always had a genuine love for animals. Over the years, I’ve looked after both dogs and cats for friends, family and my own pets. I’m reliable, patient and love spending time with animals, whether that’s heading out on long walks, playing together or simply giving them plenty of attention, affection and cuddles. I’ll always care for your pet as if they were my own. As a freelancer working from home, I have a flexible schedule and can often adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs a lunchtime walk, company during the day, overnight care or weekend adventures, I’m happy to help. I enjoy getting outdoors every day, so your pet will get plenty of exercise, attention and companionship. Your pet’s wellbeing will always be my priority. I live in a flat with a large park at the end of my road, so there are plenty of opportunities for regular walks and play. I also love heading into the countryside for longer walks and hikes (if your dog enjoys them too!). I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine, respect any training or dietary requirements, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind.

He is quite a character but she deals with his moods wonderfully, keeps us up to date with how he’s behaving, eating etc. She also does added things like turning lights on and off to keep the house looking occupied. ”
“Larissa was great at looking after our cat while we were away for a week, she gave him lots of attention and provided plenty of updates and photos so we knew he was well looked after, she also gave the medication he needed. We came home to a happy cat and would happily have her sitting again :)”

Really recommend Diany if you’re looking for someone to keep your pet safe and happy :)”

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.

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.

“Shadow had the best day playing in the garden with Dolly. She came home a very happy puppy. It's great to be able to leave her with lovely people and will definitely be using them again :)”

About: Hi, I'm a caring and responsible dog lover. I owned a dog for 7 years and occasionally dog-sit a small Chihuahua. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I currently have full availability during weekdays and weekends. I am flexible and able to provide reliable pet care throughout the week, and I will update my schedule in the future based on other work commitments while maintaining consistent care for pets. I provide calm, attentive care in the pet owner’s home, following the cat’s usual routine, feeding instructions and environment preferences. I ensure a safe, quiet setting, respect the home, and keep the cat comfortable and stress-free. I maintain cleanliness, security and regular updates to the owner.
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.
About: I grew up with a variety of pets and love dogs and cats. As I can't have my own at the moment, I love to entertain my neighbours cats whenever they visit my garden! I worship my parent's dog Lyra, a saluki cross and ask after her welfare on the daily! I'm passionate about responsible care for animals and give them 100% of my attention. I've been a successful store Manager for 3 years and am considered trustworthy and caring. I'm working full-time but I arrange my shifts flexibly so I can fit in easily with your cat sitting or dog walking needs. Depending on your needs, I can feed, entertain, change litter trays, send updates, walk/exercise your dog, sit with your cat for a few hours. All in all make sure your pet is entertained, fed, walked/exercised, hydrated, safe and happy!
“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!”
About: Hi, my name is Alex! My partner (Tavi) and I are animal lovers. We both grew up caring for dogs and cats, so looking after animals has always been a natural part of our lives. We understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and little quirks, and we’re happy to follow your instructions to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. Our home is set up for doggy daycare and pet boarding, with one of us working from home, so your pet will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. We’re able to provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime and care rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. We’re happy to care for dogs and cats, including overnight boarding and daytime care. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we can keep pets in separate areas of our flat when needed. If pets are friendly with one another, we’re also happy for them to share space, provided this is suitable and agreed with their owners. Most importantly, we treat every pet as if they were our own. We’ll follow your preferences around feeding, walks, routines, sleeping arrangements and anything else that helps your pet feel at home. Our goal is simple: happy pets, relaxed owners and plenty of wagging tails! 🐾 We understand leaving your little member of the family with someone else can be stressful. I can assure you that you are in safe hands and we will always keep you updated with messages and pictures (maybe too much... but let's be honest, there's never too much), so you can be rest assured they are in safe and competent hands. We have a flexible routine as I work part-time and my partner works from home, so there’s always plenty of time and attention for pets. We love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and simply enjoying the company of animals. We’d be happy to make a pet feel at home and give them lots of care and attention throughout the day. I care for pets with the same care, attention and patience that I would give my own. I make sure they have plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water and a comfortable environment, while sticking to their usual routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from the owner and make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed and well cared for.

“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!”

I’m also happy to do morning and evening walks before/after work. Can easily host a dog for a day in my flat, communal outdoor space and lots of parks nearby. Equally happy to work remotely from your house if easier.

About: Ive had animals in my home my whole life. I've been taking care of my pet cat Florence for the last 16 years. Even though i love all pets she is my fav. I've dogwalked and housesat for various friend's dogs, one of whom can be quite difficult...

He is a very high energy dog which is something i love because i never get tired of playing with him. Im a University of Manchester student on a course with low contact hours. This means i have lots of flexibility in my week. I also love being able to look after animals as it adds more structure to my week and helps me get out of my room instead of just studying all the time. Living in university accomodation can sometimes be stressful so i love being able to take a little staction to your home! I do however share my accomodation so i know how to clean up aftermyself!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old and we had a family dog when I was a kid.

I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to look after you pet! I work different shifts a week and would be very flexible with your request. I keep my calender updated as much as possible so you can send requests when needed. I live in a two bedroom apartment with a secure balcony for sunny days, my dog loves to sit there and feel the breeze or enjoy the sun (when the sun is not too bright)

“Seungwon was incredibly helpful at very short notice after an calendar mistake with our housesitter meant we were 2 days short of dog care. Even though we were still on holiday Seungwon collected her and dropped her back so she could greet us when we got back. We had lots of photos and updates. As she’s so close to us I hope she’ll sit for Betty again! Thanks Seungwon.”
“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 ❤️”
“I was very happy with Chunyan and the way she looked after Bella. Chunyan sent Videos updates which put my mind at rest. Bella looked relaxed and comfortable and to have a routine. 5 stars ⭐️”
“Ann was so wonderful with our miniature dachshund Truffle! He had the best time and came back home happy and relaxed. Truffle is a rescue dog with his own little quirks and Ann was so sensitive and accommodating to his needs. We received daily updates with plenty of photos. Thank you so much Ann and hope Truffle will have a chance to stay with you again. Highly recommended!”

“Ashley was wonderfully warm and welcoming to Eider while also being very sensitive to letting her settle in and all at very short notice from us. Sonny is a lovely lad who even let E commandeer his bed by the look of it. Great pics throughout. Many thanks for having her and being such great hound hosts!”
“Begum was brilliant, kept me apprized with pictures of Daisy throughout the day and made sure to tell me how much she'd eaten throughout the day taking her care needs into account. Daisy will definitely return to Begum in future!”
“Lianna was amazing with Belle! Our pup returned happy and cheerful, we could tell she had been well-cared for and had a great time. We got regular updates and Lianna was very careful to communicate she was giving Belle her meds on time. We would highly recommend and plan to have Belle stay with Lianna again when needed!”
