“Elisabetta was very caring for my old beagle. She was sending me very often updates, I didn't have to chase for anything.. Ellie seamed relaxed and happy! Will definately use her services again!”
“Aidan was a lovely sitter and took perfect care of our Frenchie Bruno. He made sure we felt comfortable by meeting us before, and was confident and capable with our rescue who can have some triggers. Aidan's Frenchie is a lovely girl and they had a great time together. Can't recommend him enough!”
About: A 29 year old designer based in south London. I’m hoping to look after dogs on those chilled weekends where I can get out for walks in the park. I usually work 3 days in the office though it’s not mandatory. The office allows pet friends so I’m open to having dogs come in to the office if longer visits are required! I’m really hoping to take dogs to my local park which is a 10 min walk away and for more energetic dogs, I’d like to travel further to natural spaces. I’ve grown up with dogs around me since I was born. My second dog, a chocolate lab, came to us as a 7 month, misbehaving rescue. As a teenager, I helped to train her to become a lovely-natured well behaving girl. She did all that puppies do and I loved looking after her even when she misbehaved! Sadly she passed 5 years ago and since then my family got a black lab puppy who is full of energy. During lockdown I trained him in learning all good behaviour. He is very large and excitable but he appreciates the large walks I take him on and I’m very confident with him. I do love larger dogs but all dogs will be in good hands. I live in a flat with my girlfriend only - it’s just us so it’s a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of attention when needed. She has a family dog (miniature pintscher) that we sometimes look after as well. I look forward to hearing from you! I work full time and I usually work Tuesday - Thursday in the office but it’s not mandatory. The office is also pet friendly. I have plenty of time on weekends for pets to take out on long walks. I live in a first floor flat with my girlfriend. I have a large courtyard for doggy business and I’m a 10 min walk to the local park.
“Isabelle and her partner looked after our 2 year-old springer spaniel Dexter recently for a day and overnight stay. Isabelle was absolutely brilliant - Dexter can be a bit anxious and overexcited at times, but she made him feel relaxed right from the off, and she also wasn’t phased by his occasionally exuberant lead behaviour! She gave Dexter all the fun and games he needed in the park, and kept us really well appraised with regular updates and pictures so we knew how he was getting on. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thanks Isabelle 😊”
“Stephanie was great with Pickle. She’s a lovely, caring person. Amazing communication before and during the booking and I could tell Pickle was well taken care of. I would 100% recommend Stephanie and will book again 😊.”
“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!”
“Rodney has stayed with Ann and Milo twice now and they are absolutely fantastic dog sitters. Rodney has had a poorly paw and needed a lot of additional attention because of this. They have looked after him so well and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you both x”
“Marcos is absolutely perfect! He is loving and incredibly understanding with Ryo, He sent regular updates during the sits and I can see from the photos/ videos that Ryo enjoys the stay with Marcos so much. Ryo was also happy and relaxed when I picked him up which speaks for itself. Thanks so much Marcos and Ryo cannot wait for the next stay!”
“This was my first time leaving Star with anyone so I was hesitant and nervous. Stacey calmed my nerves and made me feel at ease. star and Stacey hit it off at first sight. Stacey sent me daily photos and videos. Thank you Stacey can’t wait to use your service again”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter as Rodrigo took amazing care of Miru and he showed incredible care & love for dogs. I would no doubt chose Rodrigo again as a sitter and would recommend him for anyone of my friends”
“Albert absolutely loved Irina. He had so much fun that he didn't want to leave and was crying all the way home! Irina went above and beyond, and we couldn't recommend her more. We'll definitely be back! 🐾”
“Marie Louise was great with Bear and Daphne, she kept me updated the whole time and they had a great time with her, will definitely be arranging for her to have them both again!”
“As always, Maple has had the best time and i’ve had absolute peace of mind! Llouis and Olivier always take good care of her and are great at sharing regular updates with photos and videos ☺️”
“We were happy with the care our dog received over the 4 days. Communication was good, and our dog seemed comfortable and well looked after when we got back. Thanks again for your help!”
“I would highly recommend Jude as a pet sitter. I can’t describe how grateful I am to have found him. I was let down at the last minute before my holiday, but I contacted Jude and he was very responsive, polite and willing to help. I had the best holiday knowing my dog was being looked after perfectly. Jude provided daily updates took great care of my dog and there were absolutely no issues. He is definitely my go to person from now on and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
About: Hi! I’ve always loved dogs and animals, and I used to volunteer at a local dog shelter where I helped walk, feed, and care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. That experience taught me how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. I treat every pet like my own and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! 🐶❤️ I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am free on weekends — so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and love! Even when I’m working, I make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll make sure my home is a calm, pet-friendly space- no hazards, plenty of room to play, and a cozy spot for naps. I’ll keep doors and windows secure at all times, and I always supervise outdoor time. Walks will be on-leash only, and I’ll stick to safe, familiar routes. I’ll also follow any feeding or care routines you prefer, so your dog feels right at home. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, loved, and well looked after.
“Larissa was so good with Sammy, sent me lots of photos and kept me up to date on everything. Sammy loved the attention and the beautiful garden they have. A perfect match.”
About: Hi, this is Max and Rosie. We’ve both grown up around dogs and absolutely love having them around. We’d love to have a dog of our own one day, but for now looking after other people’s dogs is the perfect fit for us. We both work from home full time, so dogs in our care get lots of attention, company, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We also make the most of long lunch break walks and evening walks, so dogs get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and stimulation. We know how important it is for owners to feel their dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and we’ll always treat every dog like they’re our own. Pet care fits easily into our daily routine as we both work from home full time. This means dogs in our care are never left alone for long periods and get plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We typically start the day with a morning walk and feeding, followed by regular breaks during working hours for toilet trips, short walks and playtime. This helps keep dogs settled, stimulated, and comfortable while we work. We use our lunch break for a longer walk to give dogs exercise and outdoor time. In the evenings, we go out again for a final walk, followed by feeding, wind-down time, and plenty of attention before bedtime. At weekends, we have more flexibility for longer walks, park visits, and extra enrichment depending on each dog’s needs and energy levels. We care for every pet as if they were our own, focusing on safety, routine, and comfort at all times. In our home, dogs are supervised throughout the day as we both work from home full time. This means they are never left alone for long periods and always have company, attention, and regular check-ins. We maintain a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We always keep balcony doors and windows closed to ensure a fully safe and secure indoor space for all pets. We follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walking times, and any specific care instructions from owners. We are attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active play, quiet rest, or extra reassurance. Walks are always on-lead unless we have explicit permission from the owner to do otherwise, and we choose safe, suitable walking routes. We avoid unsafe situations and always prioritise the dog’s wellbeing in every decision. We keep open communication with owners, providing updates and photos so they feel confident and reassured while their pet is with us. Whether in our home or a pet owner’s home, we are respectful, reliable, and treat the space and pet with the utmost care and responsibility.

She didn’t just came and fed my cat, she cleaned, and she spent sometime with him in the most professional and caring way you could ever imagine. If you need someone and it’s your first time and you not sure ,just book in with her! 💯💯💯💯💯💯thank you Roshonara !”

“Amanda is a true animal lover - when Amanda came over to meet our cats and get the keys, it was so evident we had made the right choice! Amanda went above and beyond to make sure our two cats were well looked after and feeling comfortable during a heatwave. Amanda sent us regular updates and pictures and made such an effort to make sure our cats were loved in our absence. We never had to wonder or worry how the cats were doing. I highly recommend booking Amanda, very responsive, friendly and professional. We will definitely be booking with Amanda when we’re away in the future. Thanks so much for all you did to take after our two crazy fluffs, Amanda!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received over Christmas week! Stephanie was amazing, sent daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat looked so relaxed and happy when I got back. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”
“Big thanks to Anna for looking after our two (very excitable) kittens, Moss and Goose. Whilst booking she was very responsive and flexible. She kept us updated and sent pics and videos which we really appreciated. They really enjoyed the cuddles too. We’ll definitely be booking Anna again. T&F x ”
“Emma was brilliant with our cat Peggy! She instantly warmed to Emma when she came by to meet her for the first time. Whilst we were away Emma fed, and played with Peggy. As it was hot she even stook around to open window and be ventilate the flat for our house cat. Communication was excellent, lots of photo updates too. Would 100% recommend!”
“Susan had a wonderful time with Rukiye. I was sent regular updates, photos, videos and could see that she was happy, well cared for and, frankly, spoilt! I think having me home is a bit of a disappointment to her. I will definitely request her again.”
“Sophie was a wonderful sitter and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and to use her again. Our cats were so relaxed and happy when we got home, Sophie was great at communicating and she’s also a really lovely person. ”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Hello! 🐾 I'm your pet-loving neighbour in South London and I'd be delighted to care for your four-legged companion! I connect with animals very deeply and enjoy their company and the little adventures we go on together. We had two cats and one small dog at home when I was growing up and I loved spending time with them. I went on to work in a pet shop as one of my first jobs and in the past five years, working as a pet sitter in homes across the UK. During that time, I looked after indoor and outdoor cats (Maine coon cats, Bengals and everything in between), dogs and senior dogs (Wippets, dauchunds, chihuahuas, labradors). I have also looked after chickens, ducks, turtles and on one occasion, three cheeky ferrets! I only care for 1-2 pets at a time and I have a flexible schedule to adapt around your pet's timetable as I work from home. I can care for your cat or dog at any life stage and I have experience caring for pets that have been recently rehomed and need extra care adjusting to their new environment. Feel free to reach out to me with your request or any questions you may have before booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend 🐈⬛ I'm currently working part-time as a personal assistant and visual artist so my schedule is flexible and I can adapt around your pet's timetable and needs! I usually visit the home of your pet but on the odd occasion, if you need to have an overnight stay in my home, I live on the second floor in a secure apartment with no other pets.
“Muumi was in good hands whilst we were on holiday! Muumi was a little bit unwell when we left but Stacey made sure to take care of her well so she could regain her full health and energy. Stacey was very responsive and accommodating throughout the doggy care/boarding. Muumi also seem to have enjoyed playing her favourite game tug of war with Stacey’s dogs. Thank you 🙏🏼 ”
“Christina was so communicative - sending lots of wonderful pictures and videos throughout the day. My dog looked relaxed and happy in every single one, enjoying sleeping on the sofa, playing ball in the park and with her toy. Would highly recommend!”
“This was the first time Cece stayed with Pamela, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Cece was absolutely happy and comfortable with her from the very beginning. Pamela kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Cece enjoyed plenty of playtime as well as several walks during the day, which we really appreciated, as she loves exploring the park and sniffing around. It was clear that Pamela genuinely cared for Cece and made sure she was happy, active, and well looked after. We felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend Pamela to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you, Pamela, for taking such wonderful care of Cece!”
“Cece had her first daycare day with Veronica today and we couldn’t be happier! Veronica was amazing and kept us updated with lovely pictures and videos throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Cece had such a great time with Veronica and her beautiful dog, Benito, who is absolutely lovely. It’s clear Cece was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Veronica and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
About: From long walks to cuddles, I love spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have looked after puppies and senior dogs over the last 20 years and my friends and family often call on me when they go on holiday to cover pet care. Being around dogs is a joy for me, so I don't see it as work. For dogs that enjoy it, I'm happy to give them a careful brush! As an actor, my work can be sporadic. I work as a teaching assistant on a part time basis to ensure there's a steady flow of money coming in, but otherwise, I am at home and ready to look after your dog. Getting out and about for walks can be something I can de-prioritise, but having a friendly dog around, means that I'm always motivated to go out, walk and play. Having grown up with dogs throughout my life, I have often been told I treat them like siblings as opposed to pets. I like to talk out loud to dogs so they can understand what I am doing around the house or as we are preparing to leave. They are more than welcome on my bed or sofa (so long as the owner is okay with that). I think I am fairly intuitive and observant around dogs and I was even the first to spot an issue with my family dogs knee, which meant he could get it seen to before it deteriorated!
About: I come from a dog-lovers family and was surrounded by dogs my whole life. I started by looking after our family’s pets (Mini Yorkshire Terrier and a Wire haired Dachshund), and now have a dog of my own. Yurei is a 2 y.o. American Hairless Terrier whom I have trained since puppyhood. I have also looked after many of my friend’s dogs and cats, and my friend’s praise led me to setting up this Rover account. I also volunteered at Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare charity as a dog walker, which gave me an experience of working with nervous and large dogs. I have trained my dog, Yurei, from a 4-month old pup, and people always compliment how well-mannered he is. I believe in positive reinforcement principles and follow the principles of Steve Mann and Karen Pryor. I also hold a K9 First Aid certificate so rest assured your pup will be in safe hands. I am happy to look after your puppies, middle-aged and senior dogs. It is important to note that Yurei is quite energetic and might not be every dog's cup of tea. Please feel free to message me and we can arrange a meeting before booking anything in! I am currently studying for my Master’s degree and I am home full time. My partner is home some days as he is on a flexible schedule so he is able to keep your pup company as well, especially if they need to burn some energy through play. My dog Yurei is extremely friendly and high energy pup. He is a small American Hairless Terrier and loves to play and run around! He is a small sized dog (7.5kg) but he loves a company of bigger dogs. Yurei is neutered and gets on with vast majority of the dogs he meets. Rest assured I will be supervising the dogs at all times and manage their interactions. I am experienced in redirecting problematic behaviours, and my 3-bedroom home is big enough to keep dogs separated if need be. Please message me in advance if you have any concerns. I live in a terraced house and have a private garden with tall fences and a doggy door for pup’s easy access should they need a potty. I have plenty of toys for your pup should they need them, and will be happy to give them any enrichment or chews that you provide. We live next to smaller Bird in Bush park which has an enclosed dog exercise area, and bigger Burgess Park for longer walks.
“Morgan and her partner Jared took wonderful care of our little dog Arnie on a last minute request. They were really friendly and sent regular updates, plus were really accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Would highly recommend them!”

The dogs usually sleep in their bed with us in my room. Plenty of space to run around and chill in the living room as well as being in the room with us. Your dog will have an amazing time here. We will make sure your dog is well looked after ❤️ I currently don’t work at the moment so I have all the free time possible. Weekends and weekdays work perfectly for me.

“Geena looked after our dog for two days and we couldn't be happier with the job she did. Before the days she cared for her, she met with us and asked pertinent questions to ensure she knew all her needs and preferences. She was flexible and accomodating with the timing. We recieved a lot of pictures showing our dog having a great time on walks/playing. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and we'd be more than happy to book with her again.”
About: I’m an experienced dog daycare owner with a background at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care. I provide safe, structured, and loving care, ensuring every dog enjoys a happy, enriching day. I start the day picking up dogs for a refreshing morning walk, return home to work for a few hours, then head out again for an afternoon walk before safely returning them home—keeping tails wagging and pups happy all day! I provide pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment, whether in my home or theirs. Each day is tailored to their individual needs, including walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I follow their routines closely to reduce stress and keep them happy, calm, and healthy. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and excited for their time with me, giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in caring, experienced hands.
“Lola loved daycare with Elisabetta so much she didn’t want to come home at the end of the day! We received lots of pictures/videos of her playing with Percy or snuggling down for a sleep. We will be reaching out again in the future 😊”
“Grace was great with our whippet Fig, Known for being a nervous breed and being super attached we've always tried to make Figs life work without having to go to sitters, but he nestled right in to life with Grace and came back a super happy boy. 100% will be booking with Grace again soon”

About: I've grown up with all dog types in my life – big greyhounds, small terrier mixes, 14+ y/o seniors, weeks-old puppies, and everything in between! I adore cats and other pets just as much. I'm happy to hang around to help with walking/exercise, separation anxiety, feeding times, potty breaks, and/or medication. As a postgraduate student, I have many weekdays and weekends available, and overnights are rarely a problem. Happy to commit to weekly, one-off, or irregular visits based on what's needed. My current flat does not allow pets, so I am eager to care for and entertain your furry friends as needed! Long walks in the neighborhood, energetic playtimes, potty breaks, feeding times, etc. are all well within my comfort zone. I have cared for senior dogs and administered regular medications, managed hyperactive puppies who play-bite, and kept a watchful eye over troublemakers and picky eaters of all species. Your pet will feel safe and cared for whenever I'm around!
“Joseph has been excellent. He is friendly, communicative and flexible which is perfect for me with the job that I have! He is really great with my dog bilbo and I fully trust in his ability to look after him.”
“Yijae was amazing. She took our last minute request to drop in on Woody and listened and followed through on our many instructions to get into the house! She kept Woody thoroughly entertained and happy. Will definitely ask to have her back! Thank you ⭐️”
“The first time our dog Poco met Pamela, I could tell they were going to be great friends. Pamela has a good calm energy with dogs and is very reliable. She takes lovely pictures of their walks together and lets Poco go at her own pace, sniffing around and meeting dog friends in the park. I would highly recommend Pamela”

“Elisabetta was very caring for my old beagle. She was sending me very often updates, I didn't have to chase for anything.. Ellie seamed relaxed and happy! Will definately use her services again!”
“Aidan was a lovely sitter and took perfect care of our Frenchie Bruno. He made sure we felt comfortable by meeting us before, and was confident and capable with our rescue who can have some triggers. Aidan's Frenchie is a lovely girl and they had a great time together. Can't recommend him enough!”
About: A 29 year old designer based in south London. I’m hoping to look after dogs on those chilled weekends where I can get out for walks in the park. I usually work 3 days in the office though it’s not mandatory. The office allows pet friends so I’m open to having dogs come in to the office if longer visits are required! I’m really hoping to take dogs to my local park which is a 10 min walk away and for more energetic dogs, I’d like to travel further to natural spaces. I’ve grown up with dogs around me since I was born. My second dog, a chocolate lab, came to us as a 7 month, misbehaving rescue. As a teenager, I helped to train her to become a lovely-natured well behaving girl. She did all that puppies do and I loved looking after her even when she misbehaved! Sadly she passed 5 years ago and since then my family got a black lab puppy who is full of energy. During lockdown I trained him in learning all good behaviour. He is very large and excitable but he appreciates the large walks I take him on and I’m very confident with him. I do love larger dogs but all dogs will be in good hands. I live in a flat with my girlfriend only - it’s just us so it’s a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of attention when needed. She has a family dog (miniature pintscher) that we sometimes look after as well. I look forward to hearing from you! I work full time and I usually work Tuesday - Thursday in the office but it’s not mandatory. The office is also pet friendly. I have plenty of time on weekends for pets to take out on long walks. I live in a first floor flat with my girlfriend. I have a large courtyard for doggy business and I’m a 10 min walk to the local park.
“Isabelle and her partner looked after our 2 year-old springer spaniel Dexter recently for a day and overnight stay. Isabelle was absolutely brilliant - Dexter can be a bit anxious and overexcited at times, but she made him feel relaxed right from the off, and she also wasn’t phased by his occasionally exuberant lead behaviour! She gave Dexter all the fun and games he needed in the park, and kept us really well appraised with regular updates and pictures so we knew how he was getting on. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thanks Isabelle 😊”
“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!”
“Rodney has stayed with Ann and Milo twice now and they are absolutely fantastic dog sitters. Rodney has had a poorly paw and needed a lot of additional attention because of this. They have looked after him so well and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you both x”
“This was my first time leaving Star with anyone so I was hesitant and nervous. Stacey calmed my nerves and made me feel at ease. star and Stacey hit it off at first sight. Stacey sent me daily photos and videos. Thank you Stacey can’t wait to use your service again”
“Albert absolutely loved Irina. He had so much fun that he didn't want to leave and was crying all the way home! Irina went above and beyond, and we couldn't recommend her more. We'll definitely be back! 🐾”
“Marie Louise was great with Bear and Daphne, she kept me updated the whole time and they had a great time with her, will definitely be arranging for her to have them both again!”

About: Hi, this is Max and Rosie. We’ve both grown up around dogs and absolutely love having them around. We’d love to have a dog of our own one day, but for now looking after other people’s dogs is the perfect fit for us. We both work from home full time, so dogs in our care get lots of attention, company, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We also make the most of long lunch break walks and evening walks, so dogs get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and stimulation. We know how important it is for owners to feel their dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and we’ll always treat every dog like they’re our own. Pet care fits easily into our daily routine as we both work from home full time. This means dogs in our care are never left alone for long periods and get plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We typically start the day with a morning walk and feeding, followed by regular breaks during working hours for toilet trips, short walks and playtime. This helps keep dogs settled, stimulated, and comfortable while we work. We use our lunch break for a longer walk to give dogs exercise and outdoor time. In the evenings, we go out again for a final walk, followed by feeding, wind-down time, and plenty of attention before bedtime. At weekends, we have more flexibility for longer walks, park visits, and extra enrichment depending on each dog’s needs and energy levels. We care for every pet as if they were our own, focusing on safety, routine, and comfort at all times. In our home, dogs are supervised throughout the day as we both work from home full time. This means they are never left alone for long periods and always have company, attention, and regular check-ins. We maintain a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We always keep balcony doors and windows closed to ensure a fully safe and secure indoor space for all pets. We follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walking times, and any specific care instructions from owners. We are attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active play, quiet rest, or extra reassurance. Walks are always on-lead unless we have explicit permission from the owner to do otherwise, and we choose safe, suitable walking routes. We avoid unsafe situations and always prioritise the dog’s wellbeing in every decision. We keep open communication with owners, providing updates and photos so they feel confident and reassured while their pet is with us. Whether in our home or a pet owner’s home, we are respectful, reliable, and treat the space and pet with the utmost care and responsibility.
“Francini is the best! She made it so easy for me with a late booking and took the best care of my crazy frenchie. There’s a reason she books out fast, if she’s free you’re in luck!”
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.
“Patrina was fantastic. She made us feel really comfortable leaving our dog for the first time and sent us photo updates over the weekend which we loved. When we came to collect Riley she didn’t want to leave 🤣 so safe to say she had a great time.”
“Taylor was fantastic with Belle! Really helped us out with a changing schedule, super flexible and friendly, very helpful and kind. He sent regular updates and it was obvious Belle was having an amazing time — confirmed when we picked her up and she was in great spirits! We will definitely work with the Taylor again!”
“We are so happy to have found Yijae - she is super responsible and sweet with Jerry, asking considerate questions and clearly very attentive to how he is feeling. Last time we dropped him off he wandered straight in and made himself comfortable in the kitchen without a backward glance, no better review than that!”
“As usual Ross is absolutely great with Kevin. He pulled me towards the door and came back a very happy camper :) especially grateful for the care shown to him as it was during the heatwave. Highly recommended”
“Bradley took wonderful care of our whippet, Disco. He sent adorable pictures and kept us updated. Disco seemed very comfortable with him immediately. We will definitely use Bradley again.”
