“Lizzy was amazing, accommodating and so warm and welcoming. Balou had a wonderful stay and my mind was at ease with daily updates and photos. I will be using Lizzy again. Thank you so much Lizzy.”
“Henrietta was absolutely amazing with Percy. She took such good care of him and the joy and love of dogs shines through from her. I felt so reassured leaving Percy with her - she clearly devotes a lot of time and love to the dogs she looks after. She kept in touch regularly with updates and was so thoughtful and clearly cared a lot about Percy’s welfare. Her communication was amazing from start to finish. Honestly I can’t thank her enough and would happily leave Percy with her again anytime.”
“Thank you so much for everything you do Fernando! Meeting you and your dogs was very professional, I loved our communication throughout Syd stays, your house is great and we will love to ask for your services for our next time! The review from Syd is 10/10!!”
About: I have always been a passionate dog lover and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime in my care.Whether it's walks, cuddles, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to give attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. They won't be left alone and will have regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I enjoy having dogs around as part of my daily routine, whether that's relaxing while I work, going for walks, or spending quality time together. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently at home most of the time, so I can give your dog lots of attention and care throughout the day. They will enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of company in a safe and loving home. I have many years of experience looking after dogs and understand their needs, routines, and behaviour. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My home has a secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air, play, and relax throughout the day. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.
“Bacalhau had a wonderful time with Clara and Jisoo. They took really good care of him, had regular walks, followed instructions to administer medication, and received lots of photos throughout the day which is lovely! We could tell how happy our dog was at the end of the day. Would definitely book again :)”
“Zeke had a great time at Bobby and Lizzy’s house last week while we were away. They kept us well informed of Zeke’s activities and shared photos and videos each day. Our pup is a bit reactive to other dogs, but Bobby and Lizzy handled him very well. We would definitely book with them again in the future. I think Zeke can’t wait to go back.”
“Nikol was amazing! Friendly, approachable and our dog had a great time with her. She even went to the the effort to buy a clip for leash when our leash broke! I would highly recommend her for any task! Thanks Nikol!”
“Tuan Anh had hands down been the Best choice I could've made for looking after my Anxious, Fussy & at times Fearful Chihuahua Milo. Milo had an overnight stay for the first time with this particular Sitter & I received regular Photo, video & updates on how Milo was doing/settling in. Although he was initially sad when I left him he soon came out of his shell & I believe that's because of the excellent loving care Milo received. He was without a doubt very comfortable being around this very nice Sitter, his partner & their really cute dog; I'm quite sure Milo had a great time. Since I collected Milo he had been very chilled at home & very happy more so than usual, for all the reasons I pointed out I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this sitter & for Milo's next stay. Thank you🙂🦮”

“Ella took absolutely amazing care of Cleo! She kept me fully updated with cute pictures and I could see that they had a lovely time together. Cleo came home happy and tired - couldn’t ask for much more and highly recommend Ella to take care of your dog ☺️”
“The dogs came back happy and obviously very well cared for. Both Nicola and her partner were obvious very good to them and provided constant updates. We will definitely be using them again if we need.”

“Anna was amazing, came home to two very happy cats. Her messages, pictures and videos really reassured me to know both cats were doing well and being lovingly looked after.”
“Elena was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our 18 year old cat and our 8 month old kitten for the first time in our home environment. Our old lady needed to be feed several times a day in small portions due to her sensitive tummy annd her fussy eating habits; and our lil man has never been left alone for so long. Elena understood the intricacies of looking after an elderly and followed the strict food regime for her. She ensured the two cats were kept separately as they don’t get on. She followed the cleaning procedure for the litter and always sent photos of what she had done. She sent messages when she got there and left. We were constantly kept updated with so many videos and photos of them eating or playing; and from the purring we could see how much they enjoyed seeing her and being with her. I could relax on my holiday knowing both cats were well looked after. We will definitely ask Elena to look after our cats again. Thank you Elena.”
About: While I have not owned cats myself, I have experience caring for and feeding community and outdoor cats over the years. I understand the importance of providing fresh food and water, keeping litter areas clean, and respecting each cat’s individual personality and space. I am patient, reliable, and happy to follow your instructions to ensure your cat feels comfortable and well cared for while you are away.
“Once again I booked Cansu as she has a good bond with my Treacle and as Treacle is now a senior cat, she needs that extra special attention. Thank you for the updates and looking after my furbaby as I always trust she is in good hands. ”
“Kirsty is simply amazing and our kitties love her - so win win here! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who want to have stress free holidays while their cats stay behind 😁”
“Yvonne is amazing! She came to meet me and my cat ahead of my holiday so she could get to know us and my cat LOVED her. She took such good care of my cat, provided updates and photos. Communication was perfect. Would definitely book Yvonne and would absolutely recommend her to everyone”
“I had a great experience with Natalie as a cat sitter. She was consistently reliable and attentive, which made the whole process very easy and reassuring. What stood out most was her communication: she sent daily video updates, which gave me real peace of mind knowing my cat was well cared for and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated cat sitter!”
“Shivy was an absolutely exceptional cat sitter while I was away! She stayed in my home for 10 days and took such wonderful care of my cat, Barney. I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind, and it was clear that Barney was not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. Shivy is incredibly attentive, trustworthy, and clearly has a real love for animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after him. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with the utmost care, love, and attention 😊”
“Kasia is such a wonderful cat sitter and she took really good care of our two cats. She was excellent at communicating with us and sent us lots of pictures. Highly recommend Kasia!”
“Agata was wonderful again with Niko just like last time. He was much more confident with her and had a great time judging by all the pictures! We feel much less anxious about leaving him now thank you! 🙏🏻☺️”
About: I've looked after the family cat since the age of 13 to 26, dealing with the lovely live animal presents he brought in as well the middle of the night hairballs. Whether your cat is an active agent of chaos or enjoying their golden years, I can provide the care and attention they need.
“Kaitlyn looked after our two cats while we were on holiday for a week. We found her to be conscientious and reliable. She followed our instructions on how to care for our two fussy cats to the letter and also assisted with taking out the bins. We appreciated the regular updates she sent to let know how our cats were doing. We would book her again. ”
About: My whole life growing up was looking after animals. My mum is a vet nurse, so we'd often look after sick, injured or lost animals until we could find them homes. I've looked after dogs, cats, chickens, birds, rabbits, you name it (I'm originally from Australia, so I'm very familiar with lots of critters). I have 3 cats, a rabbit and a dog back home (which my lovely family are looking after), but I've always had loads of pets and have always jumped in to look after friends' and family's pets as well. My background is also in health and care work. I'm a paediatric dietitian by trade and have also worked looking after children, the elderly and people with high-needs disabilities.
“Johnny was fantastic with our cat Nova, she was incredibly well looked after and Johnny kept up us updated throughout. We are grateful we have found someone so reliable, professional and who clearly cares about the pets he looks after.”
About: I am a cat lover, I have grown up with three beautiful boy rescue cats, all of whom have had different needs and care requirements. My neighbours have relied on me to cat sit for them since i was twelve. On multiple occasions when they've been away I have stayed with their cats overnight for long and short periods of time.
“Marie is simply wonderful! She is great with our cat, plays excellent games with her, gives brushes, sends the best pics and videos, and leaves our home spotless. Couldn’t recommend more! Thanks!”

“Everything worked out great and Brian & Ee Li looked after Adele really well. ❤️ We had a meet and great a few days before. We felt completely comfortable leaving our girl with them and received lots of updates. Thank you soo much!”
About: £15 OFF your first booking with me!! 💝 I’ve been caring for pets of friends and neighbors for years, so I know trust is everything. I don’t just meet your pet’s needs, I make sure they’re happy, loved, and feel like they have a friend while you’re away. I’m currently not working and focusing on my studies, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets 💕. I can give them lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles, making sure they feel loved, happy, and cared for every day. I prefer caring for pets in my home, where I have plenty of space and a garden for them to play and explore safely. I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and happy, providing cuddles, walks, and attention throughout the day while keeping their routine consistent.
About: I've been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, from energetic young ones to slower, older dogs who just want company and a comfortable routine. Senior dogs are where I'm happiest. I've got a lot of patience for the extra care they need, whether that's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on how they're feeling, or just being around so they're never on their own for long. I work from home most of the day, so your dog isn't shut in waiting for me to get back. There's someone here, the routine stays steady, and there's always time for a walk, a play, or a nap on the sofa. I offer boarding at mine, dog walking, drop-in visits and day care, and house sitting in your own home, so we can find whatever suits you and your dog best. I look after other people's dogs the way I'd want mine looked after: carefully, calmly, and with a lot of affection. I work from home, so my day is built around being here rather than rushing out. Mornings usually start with a proper walk before I settle into work, with breaks through the day for play, toilet trips, and a bit of fuss. Lunchtime is another walk, or a longer wander if the weather's good. Evenings are relaxed: dinner on time, a final stroll before bed, and plenty of company on the sofa. I keep to whatever routine your dog already knows, since that's what keeps them settled. If your dog has set feeding times, medication, or a walking schedule, being home all day means I can stick to it. In my home, your dog gets a calm, clean space with room to relax and somewhere comfortable to sleep. I keep doors and gates secure, never let a dog I don't know off-lead until I'm sure they'll come back, and introduce new dogs slowly so nobody feels crowded. In your home, I stick to your house rules, keep things tidy, and send photo updates so you can see your dog is happy while you're away. I'm careful with keys, alarms, and locking up. Either way, I'll always ask about vet details, feeding, allergies, and anything that makes your dog anxious before the first visit, so there are no surprises and your dog feels safe with me from the start.
About: I have had Bunnie for 2 years, and she loves having friends here with her as she is really sociable. I am taking a break in my cheffing career and would love to look after your dog for a day or more ! We live in a house with a big fenced garden (with grass and shade) and also 10min walk from the very nice West Ham park. My main skills with dogs I would say are : playful training, patience, walks, and naps ! Dogs I look after are usually having a very fun time here 😀 I'm currently taking a career break from my role as a Head Chef and would love to spend that time caring for dogs through Rover. Our dog, Bunnie, has been looked after through Rover many times, and we've always had wonderful experiences. She's incredibly friendly, sociable, and loves the company of other dogs, so I thought I'd love to return the favour by becoming a sitter myself. I'm available most days with a little notice for day care or overnight stays. I'd always arrange a meet-and-greet first to make sure your dog and Bunnie are a great match. I'll treat your dog with the same love and care as my own. I live in a house with a large, secure fenced garden in the Maryland/West Ham area. I'm happy to provide day care or boarding for a few days while you're away. As Bunnie will be sharing the home, I ask that visiting dogs are friendly with other dogs. I have a crate available if needed, as well as comfy dog beds in different rooms.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs all my life and have always been very comfortable around animals. Friends, neighbours, and family members have trusted me to help care for their pets, including feeding, walking, playing, washing and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am patient, reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and being outdoors. I understand the importance of routine, trust, and communication when caring for pets, and I would treat every dog with the same love and care I would give my own. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends, so I’m home most of the time and able to give dogs plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have regular breaks during work hours that I’m happy to use for walks and outdoor time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m in the office from 8am to 4pm, but I’m available before and after work. I live close,2 min walk to a dog park and a larger park only around 7 minutes away, which is perfect for walks and exercise. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely relax, play, and spend time outdoors.

“Jayden took great care of our puppy Hazel and kept us updated on how she was going throughout the day. We appreciated how he was willing to meet beforehand in the local park and would definitely use his services again.”
“Amazing sitter! 😊 Great communication, lots of updates, and Loki & Otis were both so happy and well looked after. Felt really comfortable leaving them and would definitely book again! 🐾”
“I think we’ve found the best local dog sitter! Wolfie had an amazing day with Yingxi and her partner. We received plenty of updates throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that Wolfie was having a fantastic time. He especially enjoyed playing with their lovely dog, Cosmo, as well as a beautiful Samoyed. It was wonderful to see him so happy, social, and well cared for. We would absolutely love for Yingxi and her partner to look after Wolfie again in the future, if they would have him. Thank you both for taking such great care of our boy!”
“Meera watched over Elliot and was a very caring sitter. She was very attentive and provided reassuring updates throughout the day. I tend to worry about leaving my puppy with strangers, but she clearly is a "dog person" who truly cares about the well being of your pet. She was flexible with pickup and dropoff, and she learned Elliot's routine very quickly. If she was unsure of something, she made sure to double-check with me and always asked before taking action. I would highly recommend her as a sitter, and I am sure she will take good care of any pet!”
“Laura, Tim and Chippie were absolutely amazing at looking after Wilma. She had a really great day and was totally happy and relaxed even though it was the hottest day of the year! Would 100% recommend and will definitely be asking for their kind help again! Rosie and Orlando x”
“Gianmarco is a great person and the most thoughtful sitter! He was very considerate with Ralphy being a Dachshund and all that it comes down with that! He kept me posted and always replied to my messages. Overall, I had a great experience and I am grateful we found him. Grazie Gianmarco 🫶🐾”

I couldn't recommend her enough!”

I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always treat pets as if they were my own.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and these days I serve primarily as the devoted human slave to Ted, my rescue dog. When Ted first came home, he had severe lead anxiety after being attacked as a young dog. Walks were stressful and overwhelming for him, and helping him build confidence took months of patience, consistency and positive reinforcement. Watching him transform into a happy, adventurous dog who loves exploring has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. That journey taught me how important it is to understand that every dog is different. Some dogs are confident and energetic, while others need a little extra patience, reassurance and encouragement. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, ages and energy levels, and I always take the time to get to know what makes each dog feel happy and secure. I particularly enjoy long walks, enrichment activities and getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments, including nervous or anxious dogs who may need a little extra understanding. I work flexibly, which allows me to offer reliable availability throughout the week. I will always treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away I work flexibly and have good availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. Whether your dog needs a lunchtime walk, company during the day, or overnight care, I’m usually able to accommodate different schedules and can often help with last-minute bookings 😊 Pet care already plays a huge part in my daily routine thanks to Ted, my rescue dog and full-time employer. Between walks, sniffing expeditions, playtime and fulfilling my duties as his human servant, I’m used to building my days around a dog’s needs! As a slightly overprotective dog mum myself, I know I’d want someone caring for Ted to treat him like family, so that’s exactly how I approach every pet I look after I live just a five-minute walk from Victoria Park, which means plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks and enrichment. I also have a small, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely spend time outdoors. The garden is completely secure, with no way for pets to get in or out unsupervised. Ted normally lives with me, but if a visiting dog would be more comfortable as the only pet in the home, Ted is fortunate enough to have very willing grandparents who are always happy to host him Ted’s rescue journey taught me a lot about reading canine body language, building confidence and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I’m patient, attentive and happy to adapt to whatever routine works best for your dog. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos and reassurance while you’re away, and your dog will receive the same level of care, affection and enthusiasm that Ted demands from his own devoted human staff
“Shuk has been amazing with Leia. She sends very detailed updates and lots of pictures, so I always knew exactly how Leia was doing on her walks. She pays attention to the small behaviours, is very careful with other dogs, and keeps me reassured at all times. We were away on holiday and it gave us real peace of mind to know Leia was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.”
“Enting is beyond an angel. She's actually improved my dogs life 100% and his behavior is even better since she started walking him. I had many other walkers and she is by far the very very best!!”
“Karen was great with Henry, he took to her straight away which is always a good sign! She is communicative, responds quickly, and kept me updated throughout. She made sure he was walked and fed, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and always bonded well with them. Ranging from retired Greyhounds to Cavapoos, I have a passion for looking after animals of every size. I regularly look after family and friends' pets and I started as a dog walker in March 2026 in NE London. I decided to take a break from corporate life and spend more time outside looking after our four paw friends and hopefully make it a full time job. I am a qualified first aider for dogs, completed a course in training dogs and I am currently taking courses on dog behaviour. I currently work part time as a dog walker in NE London during the week and I am looking to expand to house/dog-sitting across London and perhaps find a few more clients for regular or one off dog walks. I have a very flexible schedule and I have my own vehicle. I ask owners to provide emergency contact and vet information, description of the dog's character, diet and routine so to make sure the dog is kept as happy as possible with a regular routine whilst owners are away.
About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs. I currently have two lovely dogs at home, aged 6 and 2. Before that, I raised an elderly Poodle, and I also have experience looking after two cats at my grandma’s home. I am very patient, gentle and responsible with all pets. I’m a student with flexible hours, available for dog walking and drop‑in visits everyday. I can give your pet consistent, reliable care and plenty of attention. I provide a calm, safe home environment for pets. I will follow all your instructions carefully, keep your dog secure and comfortable, and send regular updates to keep you fully reassured.
About: ** 💛 £15 OFF your first booking ** [ Use code ELENAS75062 💙 ] • DBS checked ✅ Hi 👋 It’s lovely to meet you, I’m Elena 😊 My love for animals started at home, from the very beginning. Growing up, my world was shared with three beautiful Siamese cats and an American Cocker Spaniel. They were not just pets they were part of my family. Living alongside them taught me from an early age the importance of patience, understanding, routines, and the unique personality every animal has. Those childhood experiences shaped the way I care for pets today. After more than 20 years of looking after dogs and cats, I know that every furry friend has their own story, their own needs, and their own way of feeling safe and loved. 🐶🐱 I understand that leaving your beloved companion with someone else is a big decision. Your pet is not “just a pet” they are a cherished member of your family. My aim is to provide a calm, secure, and loving home from home environment where they feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for, while giving you complete peace of mind. Every pet is unique, so my care is always personalised around their personality, age, routine, and individual needs: 🐶 Puppies -> Gentle guidance, routine support, patience, positive reinforcement, socialisation, and lots of affection as they grow and learn. 🐕🦺 Senior dogs –> Calm companionship, gentle walks, comfort, and extra attention adapted to their pace and needs. 🐕 Anxious or sensitive dogs –> A peaceful environment, reassurance, consistency, and the patience needed to help them feel secure. 🐱 Cats –> Respectful, patient care that allows them to feel comfortable in their own way. I understand that cats build trust at their own pace, so I provide quiet companionship, playtime, enrichment, and affection always on their terms. I have experience with shy cats, indoor cats, senior cats, and multi-cat households. 🐾 Kittens –> Supervised play, gentle socialisation, routine building, curiosity support, and lots of love. 📅 For busy families –> A reliable and comforting environment where your pet receives individual attention, companionship, and a consistent routine. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so I can offer genuine one to one attention. Your pet will never feel like just another booking, I’ll take the time to learn their habits, favourite activities, little quirks, and what makes them feel happiest. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, exploring outdoors, training games, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing in a cosy space, I’ll adapt my care to match their personality and energy level. While your pet is with me, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. 💛 ✨ What matters most to me: Making sure every dog and cat in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved, with patience, kindness, and genuine attention to their individual needs. 💛 If you’re looking for experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet care, I would be delighted to welcome your furry family member into my home. 🐾💜 I offer flexible, full time availability throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My goal is to provide reliable and consistent care that fits seamlessly into your schedule, whether you need occasional help or ongoing support. Your dog’s comfort and emotional wellbeing are always my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I carefully follow their established routines to create a sense of stability and trust. I provide calm, attentive, and loving care, including feeding, walks, enrichment activities, and companionship. I also maintain clear and consistent communication, sending regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your baby is doing. My approach is built on respect, patience, and genuine care for every animal I look after.
“Lily was fantastic with our energetic (and very stubborn) corgi puppy. She was very calm, professional and confident walking our dog, who can get worked up easily and needs to be distracted from bikes/runners/cars etc. She's obviously experienced handling all types of dogs and passionate about them, making us feel so reassured. Thanks for being so great with our boisterous pup, Lily!”
“Steph has been amazing getting to know our nervous gsd on walks ahead of dog sitting as she takes a little while to warm up to new people, but has taken to Steph really quickly. She is great at communicating, has a great understanding of dogs and is very knowledgable about training and meeting dogs needs. She seems very confident handling reactive/nervous and large dogs. Would recommend Steph to anyone looking for a walker/sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs of all different breeds and personalities, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience looking after friends’ pets while they’ve been away, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy meeting and spending time with new furry friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Currently not working so after walking my three dogs have plenty of time to meet and help other fur babies for cuddles and walkies. I will be working in a few weeks but will be a work from home job that I can do if a pet sitter is needed. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by sticking to their usual routine. I will provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet is different, so I will follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and house rules. I treat every home with respect and care for each pet as if they were my own, ensuring they are happy and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: My whole life growing up was looking after animals. My mum is a vet nurse, so we'd often look after sick, injured or lost animals until we could find them homes. I've looked after dogs, cats, chickens, birds, rabbits, you name it (I'm originally from Australia, so I'm very familiar with lots of critters). I've always had loads of pets and have always jumped in to look after friends' and family's pets as well. My background is in health and care work. I'm a paediatric dietitian by trade and have also worked looking after children, the elderly and people with high-needs disabilities. If you have an active dog, I'm also an active person and would be so happy to take them out for runs to burn off some energy. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I'm currently available every day for walking and pet sitting (day sits and overnights) at owners' homes. From Late June/early July, I'll be available Tuesdays and weekends. I like to get out for regular walks/runs, so having a little companion would be a win-win! I'm happy to abide by any wishes owners have for their pets and for their homes. I'll always try my best to go above and beyond for your little ones. I know how much they really are a part of the family.
About: Growing up in rural Ireland, I have been a dog lover since a very young age. My husband Tim has extensive dog experience. We had our very own senior dog who passed away last Summer so we are very used to dogs of all ages. We also have a toddler in the house so your dog would need to be used to kids. Me and my husband work from home during the week and there’s always room for an extra furry friend on our sofa. We could potentially be available for weekends too. We walk our own senior dog 3 times a day so new companions are always welcome. We have a ground floor flat with a big garden so perfect for furry friends. Pets are always welcome on our sofa for cuddles too!

“Jimbo had a lovely time with Brian. I was sent lots of updates during the day and overnight. I would definitely leave Jimbo with Brian again. It was clear he loved having Jimbo, and also dropped him off in the morning! Great sitter ☺️”
“Lizzy was amazing, accommodating and so warm and welcoming. Balou had a wonderful stay and my mind was at ease with daily updates and photos. I will be using Lizzy again. Thank you so much Lizzy.”
“Henrietta was absolutely amazing with Percy. She took such good care of him and the joy and love of dogs shines through from her. I felt so reassured leaving Percy with her - she clearly devotes a lot of time and love to the dogs she looks after. She kept in touch regularly with updates and was so thoughtful and clearly cared a lot about Percy’s welfare. Her communication was amazing from start to finish. Honestly I can’t thank her enough and would happily leave Percy with her again anytime.”

“Bacalhau had a wonderful time with Clara and Jisoo. They took really good care of him, had regular walks, followed instructions to administer medication, and received lots of photos throughout the day which is lovely! We could tell how happy our dog was at the end of the day. Would definitely book again :)”
“Zeke had a great time at Bobby and Lizzy’s house last week while we were away. They kept us well informed of Zeke’s activities and shared photos and videos each day. Our pup is a bit reactive to other dogs, but Bobby and Lizzy handled him very well. We would definitely book with them again in the future. I think Zeke can’t wait to go back.”
“We left Didy with Weronika for two nights and she was absolutely fantastic at taking care of Didy. She brought Didy to parks and also they attended a dog birthday party together :)”
“Xiaoyi took great care of our dog Frankie over a long weekend. She sent regular photos and updates, and was very attentive throughout. Excellent service — we’ll definitely be back!”
“Christina and Rhys were excellent sitters! Christina was really attentive to my dog, Ed’s, needs and was really easy to communicate with before, during and after the booking. You can tell that they are genuine dog lovers and were patient when Ed was somewhat clingy! I would definitely recommend for sitting with real care for dogs :)”
“Lauren and her partner were so lovely and took wonderful care of Bixby! They sent updates throughout his stay with them and had lots of fun. Thank you both so much and Bixby is already looking forward to staying again!”
“Kerry has looked after Barney a few times now, and he always comes back cheerful and tuckered out (due to lots of walks and play time)! Kerry follows our wishes exactly and sends us loads of updates and photos, which we really appreciate ❤️ Barney will definitely be going back!”
“Darren was a great help with my dog, Ed. He was attentive to Ed’s needs and routine and made sure he was well looked after. Darren sent photo updates and his corgi, Angie, shared the space with Ed (which is appreciated when he’s such a big dog!). Would highly recommend Darren as a sitter!”
“Alice was so good with our dog Poppy. Poppy can be initially anxious when left with new people. Alice and her husband were so patient with Poppy and took all the necessary steps to make her feel comfortable! Alice sent regular updates and pictures. Poppy got lots of cuddles and play! Truly an amazing dog sitter!”
“This was the second time Milena and her partner have looked after Luna, and once again they were absolutely wonderful. It’s such a relief knowing we have people we completely trust to care for Luna. They genuinely take the time to make Luna feel comfortable and settled. Milena shared frequent updates and lots of lovely photos, which reassured us that Luna was happy, relaxed, and enjoying plenty of attention and walks. We especially appreciated them kindly sending updates and photos to another family member as well at our request — such a thoughtful and accommodating gesture that meant a lot to us. Having someone so caring, communicative, and reliable makes all the difference. We’re incredibly grateful!”
“Imogen came to the rescue when we had a last minute change of plans and needed a dog sitter for the night. She was very accommodating and communicative, and Leo seemed to be happy! Thanks so much again.”
“Styx had a fantastic time with Olivia and her partner (and little Babka!). I got plenty of updates about what she was up to, and am really confident that my care instructions were followed and that Styx had a safe, comfortable and fun time during her week away. Highly recommended and I'd definitely ask Olivia again next time I need dogsitting.”
“Yuan took great care of our greyhound Minty whilst we were away, he was really responsive to our messages and gave regular photo / video updates! Yuan was really considerate and asked about other dogs staying when Minty was staying - which gave us peace of mind. Would definitely recommend and would book again in the future 😊 thanks Yuan!”
