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.”

We look forward to using Alice for boarding again in the future”
“Thomas took all the time and care needed to meet both my boys, make sure they were comfortable with his dog and also allowed us to visit his home. He asked lots of questions about their routine and was really a calm and friendly energy around them. When I was away, I got regular updates and pictures which was very reassuring! The boys came back well looked after, had LOTS of lovely attention and were relaxed and tired out when they got home! Would recommend 100%!”

She arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand so I could see how he interacted with her dogs and settled into the environment, which gave me complete peace of mind before going on holiday.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Piper to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter.”

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.

“Cansu went above and beyond not only with looking after our cat, but also helping to keep plants alive and taking in our bins. It was very reassuring to know our cat was in such safe and caring hands, many thanks Cansu!”
“Yvonne was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Cicero has been very nervous around new people but despite this, Yvonne managed to look after him excellently. She was communicative, came for meet & greet, sent regular updates. Was reliable and all round great! Would definitely recommend”
“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.”
“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: I've taken care of dogs everyday for the last ten years. As well as looking after my own furry boy and family dogs, I've been trusted to walk, feed and play with many of my friend's and neighbours animals. I'm experienced in puppy care and looking after dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages. I also enjoy walking myself and love spending time outside. During the week I work from home - 7AM - 3PM. Sometimes, my day finishes earlier as I often start early. Therefore, I am available for dog walks in afternoons and evening in the week. I have full availability over the weekend. I live right beside green and The Ancoats Marina - perfect for walks. I'm experienced in crating dogs and will follow instructions for all your pet care needs. I'm very attentive on walks and experienced in keeping dogs safe.

“Zoya is great with cats . I always book her to look after my cat Benny and I know he will be looked after well. Zoya also very flexible to any request . I cannot recommend her more .”

She was incredibly flexible with my schedule and her genuine love for pets really shone through in the way she cared for Cinnabon. She kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind throughout the trip. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. Highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitting!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Newham
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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.
“Brian and his partner were amazing with our mini Daschund Peaches. Really paid attention to her needs and gave lots of helpful updates. We’d absolutely ask them to look after Peaches again! :)”

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I developed a deep love and understanding of their care from an early age, as both my father and grandparents were devoted dog owners.

This diverse background has allowed me to become confident and attentive in caring for both dogs and cats, understanding their different personalities, routines, and needs. I am committed to providing the highest standard of care, ensuring that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. You can trust that I will care for your pet with the same level of attention, responsibility, and affection as I would my own.

“Jessica was fantastic! Bozo made himself at home right away and took a nice little nap, which is the ultimate sign of comfort and trust from him! :) It was really easy to coordinate, she sent lots of pictures through the day and was so attentive to all the details we shared with her prior. I couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: Hi, I'm Feria, an experienced 🐶 owner and sitter. I live with my husband and pup, Teddy, in Hackney Wick. I know how hard it is to leave your furbaby with others and so I wanted to provide a reliable and caring option for folks like us - with the added bonus of your pup having a built-in playmate! We recently relocated back to London from HK, so I have loads of experience with taking care of a dog in the heat of summer. We used to live in Hackey Wick for many years, so I'm very familiar with the area. When your dog stays with us, they will have a built-in bestie with Teddy, our 2.5-year-old double doodle - an absolute ball of energy and love. We live in a one-bed flat on Fish Island, with easy access to the tow path, Victoria and Olympic Parks for walks, activity, and exercise. We've raised Teddy since he was 8 weeks old and have trained him to have a complete repertoire of tricks. You can rest assured that if your pup is staying with us, they'll get lots of love and attention, plenty of mental stimulation, and activities. With the summer heat, we tend to keep the outdoor activities to a minimum during peak hours, focusing on early morning and late evening walks. We do two walks a day, one in the morning and one in the evening - these are usually slow, sniffy walks, for 30 mins each (weather dependent). When not possible, it's enrichment games at home. I'm currently taking some time off and my husband works from home, so your pup would always have someone around. We are both experienced at administering oral medication. Please note, we only accept vaccinated and neutered/spayed dogs. To ensure our dogs get along, I would arrange a pre-meet before confirming a booking. We will not board more than one guest dog at a time. Same for daycare. I'm currently taking some time off and my husband works from home so your pup would always have someone around. Your pup would have a resident bestie in our dog Teddy, an energetic and full of love 2.5-year-old double doodle. We live in a one-bed flat with a balcony. We typically keep the balcony door closed but also have fencing along the balcony. Our dog sleeps in the living room at night and is also crate trained. Depending on your dog we can discuss preferences.
About: I really love spending time with dogs and have some experience in taking care of them. I never had a dog, but my boyfriend has, and we are looking to get a dog of our own someday. I currently have 2 dogs I dog sit regularly for the whole day and 2 dogs that I take in for a few days when the owners are on holidays. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I’m looking for a lovely dog that I can take for walks and have at home as well. I live in the East Village, so I have access to many dog walking spaces. I am equally good with chill and fussy dogs and I am available to take care of your dog for holidays/long weekends. I work full-time and the job never requires me to go into the office, unless there’s a particular need and/or I have a work trip, but this is known well in advance so my pet care schedule is flexible. I am currently unavailable on Wednesdays as I have dog sitting duties and the dog doesn’t get along with other dogs I have loads of toys, blankets and snacks to keep your pet entertained. I have a balcony but the walls are high enough for the dog to have a safe time

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 life 🐾💜 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.
“Maksym is simply the best! From day one, he's been kind, reliable, and genuinely caring. It's obvious how much he loves dogs, and Mercy and Ziggy absolutely adore him. They get so excited whenever they see him, which says everything. Knowing they're with someone I completely trust gives me real peace of mind. Maksym always goes above and beyond, treating them as if they were his own, and I know they're not only well exercised but also happy, safe, and loved. I couldn't recommend Maksym more highly. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional with dogs, look no further. Thank you for taking such amazing care of fur babies!”
“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.”
“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!!”

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.
“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!”
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.
“Jessica and Teddy were great! We had a nice meet and greet a few days before their first walk with Rupert. Jessica was communicative and respectful and Rupert had a good walk on the Friday. Thanks!”
About: Hi! I'm Kaitlyn, a freelancer working in film and TV who recently moved to Forest Gate. I grew up in Scottish farmlands surrounded by various animals but have a particular soft spot for cats, dogs, and birds! My work is very flexible so leaves me much spare time for catsitting, I have my own car so am able to travel further afield to catsit but also can quickly deal with emergency situations if ever needed. I have been catsitting with this service since 2020, and have many happy returning owners rebooking me. I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule so can work easily around your own schedule, I can do daily drop in visits as needed and am available for overnight stays regularly. I will spend time getting to know your pets and letting them get used to me as well, and as we begin to bond I will take their lead on what they prefer - to be playful, go on walks or enjoy some relaxing time together. I'm also happy to collect mail, take out bins, water plants and any other small household tasks so you don't have to worry about chores while away.
“Ali is a great dog walker! We have two big dogs with big personalities and they both warmed up to him very quickly. He’s extremely reliable and able to take both dogs on great walks regularly. Thanks Ali!”

“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.”
“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 :)”
“Alice was amazing at looking after Chowie over the weekend, we felt very reassured having Alice and by Alice's regular updates (including a facetime which was very sweet!). Everytime we had a question about Chowie, she was always quick and polite to answer, and particularly given how many questions we had, we appreciate that greatly! We look forward to using Alice for boarding again in the future”
“Thomas took all the time and care needed to meet both my boys, make sure they were comfortable with his dog and also allowed us to visit his home. He asked lots of questions about their routine and was really a calm and friendly energy around them. When I was away, I got regular updates and pictures which was very reassuring! The boys came back well looked after, had LOTS of lovely attention and were relaxed and tired out when they got home! Would recommend 100%!”
“Thank for you all your support. I am pleased all the dogs went well. It was really appreciated with the short notice. Thanks for letting me know how it was going during the time you had him!”
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and I truly enjoy spending time with them every day. Caring for my own dog Poopoo (an 11-month-old, friendly, and well-trained boy) has given me hands-on experience with puppy care, training, and building healthy routines. I understand how important it is for each dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when they’re away from home. I make sure every pup gets plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. Poopoo and I love going on walks, playing together, and practicing commands — so your dog will always have both exercise and fun! 🐶 What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and understanding of dog behavior. I can help reinforce basic commands, keep a consistent schedule, and ensure every dog feels at ease in a clean, caring environment. Whether your pup is playful or shy, I’ll take the time to make them feel at home — just like part of our little family. 💛 My partner and I are both home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone! 🐾 We have a very flexible schedule and can provide constant attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding time, a walk, or a bathroom break, we’re always around to keep your pup happy and comfortable. Since we spend most of our time at home, we can easily follow your dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe and cared for — just like they would with you. 💛 We live in a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment, just the two of us — so there’s plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and feel at home. 🐾 Our community is very pet-friendly, and right downstairs is the amazing Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, perfect for long walks, fresh air, and safe outdoor fun! 🌳 Your dog will always be supervised — my partner and I are home 24/7, so pets are never left alone. We make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable, whether they’re playing, resting, or just enjoying some cuddle time. 💛 We keep our home clean, calm, and secure, with no hazards or restricted areas. Visiting dogs are treated just like part of our family, and we always follow each owner’s routines and instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels completely at ease.
“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!”
“Julija was a great carer for our Cockapoo - she was totally reliable , very attentive to the details we left with her , sent us loads of updates and photos throughout the stay and made him really welcome in her home . We would recommend her as a carer .”
“Giuliana was the best sitter Futuro could have asked for! I really mean it, I was nervous because it was our first time using the app, but Giuli and Pato made us feel completely comfortable from the moment we met them, days before we left for our holiday. They sent photos and updates constantly, took him on walks everywhere, and spoilt him as if he were their own. They gave him so much love and playtime that he was genuinely happy; you could see it in every photo and video, and it was obvious when we picked him up too. They followed every instruction we gave them, and honestly, we couldn’t have felt more calm knowing he was in their hands. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after Futuro the way they did. Thank you for giving us all, Futuro included, a wonderful holiday! 🐾”

“Adam was absolutely sensational. He is truly such a dog lover and from our meet and greet I could tell my two cockapoos would be in the best hands. During their stay with Adam, one of my dogs ended up with a grass seed in her ear and he recognised it so quickly and acted so quickly to get her to the vet that meant the vet didn’t have to sedate her to get it out - his attention to their wellbeing is next level. I couldn’t possibly recommend a better person to look after my pups. Thanks so much Adam, really looking forward to you looking after Cooper and Suzette again!”
“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!”

They kept me up to date with photos during his stay and I could see he was very settled and being well looked after. My dog usually huffs with me for a day or two when I return from holidays but on this occasion he didn’t.. do I guess he must’ve been having a great time! 🙂 would 110% recommend!”
