“Lauren and her family were perfect to look after Cooper. This was our first time leaving him with anyone and we immediately felt comfortable upon meeting them. We were sent daily updates, photos and videos of his adventures. This massively relieved any unease we had. If she will have him we will definitely rebook Lauren for our next trip away. Thank you so much.”
“Jack looked after Barley really well for 8 days while we were on holiday. She is a nervous dog but after a couple of days she was obviously very settled and well looked after. We got lots of photos and videos.”
“Céline and her partner took such a great care of Max. He stayed with them for 12 days and was visibility happy and comfortable when we collected him. Communication was excellent, we received daily updates and pictures throughout his stay. We absolutely recommend and will book again without hesitation”
“Dolly had a great stay for a few days with Natasha and George. They are real dog lovers and are very easy to work with - they sent regular updates, and with the hot weather they made sure walkies were done early before it got hot! Dolly was upset to come home but she will be back soon.”
“Nayla was an excellent dog sitter. She was very sweet with Skippy and her own little dog was very sweet and friendly. She took great care of Skippy and I would recommend using her services.”
“Ruta and her partner take care to understand your loved one like their own. My young bouncy lab Loki had a glorious time spending a week in there loving care. Cannot recommend them enuff , you will be assured of a happy pet, and kept fully up to date with updates and pictures while you are away from your loved one. Many thanks guys for being awesome and more :) Cheers Bedi”
“Alexei and Lin were the perfect hosts to our dog Skye. They took the time to get to know her at an initial meet and greet, and gave her such a lovely 5 days whilst we were on holiday. They sent daily photos and videos so we could see just how happy she was on her walks, and playing in their garden at home. We can’t recommend them enough.”
“I’m so happy I found Vilma! She kindly agreed to look after my cat, Luna, on very short notice while I was away for a few days. She took such great care of Luna and made sure to send me regular photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Luna looked so comfortable and happy — it truly felt like she was at home and enjoying her little holiday with Vilma. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Lauren and her partner were absolutely great, they agreed to look after Lux with less than 24 hrs notice (someone else had cancelled) and were so lovely. Lux had an amazing time and was well looked after - she returned a very tired pup which is a big win!”
About: I have previously owned a German Shepherd Vizsla in New Zealand. I work from home full time so can help keep dogs company with ease. There is a large large park up the road from me which makes for a good lunch time walk or to throw the ball depending on their recall. Happy to discuss your needs. I currently work full time from home. I take a run in the morning before work, short walks at lunch to get my steps up and in the evenings also. happy to have the dogo company at short notice, 7 days a week when we have no plans. I enjoy the company of dogs, and after losing my old mate in New Zealand I thought this might bring back some laughs for me and the family. I do have a fenced small yard, it's not big enough to play in but it is outside. If I'm looking after them in your home, I'd just follow the rules you set, I'n my home I'd take them for a walk or run ro tire them out in the morning and the same in the evening. Easy.

“Man Ching was friendly and welcoming. She looked after Amber very well and coped well with her medications. She communicated well and sent photos during the stay. Thanks Man Ching”
“Juliet was wonderful with my boy Buster. She kept me updated during his stay with videos and picture's every day. Buster had a fantastic time. Great sitter. Buster can’t wait to see her again”
“Fran was great looking after our corgi Thunder for an overnight booking. There were lots of regular updates which were reassuring and Fran was very understanding of Thunders nerves and quirks (with him being a rescue). Her dog Indy sounded like he was a great calming companion to Thunder as well which I’m sure helped settle him. Overall so pleased, will definitely be booking with Fran and Indy again! :)”
“Melissa and Troy were first class sitters. From the first moment we met Melissa during the “meet and greet” session there was clear chemistry between us and especially with Louis. He was extremely well cared for and felt totally at home during his stay. I would have no hesitation in booking with Melissa again . Top marks and thank you so much .”

“Melissa was fantastic. She is a lovely gentle and considerate cat sitter! On my return home, Benji was calm and at ease. Melissa made sure he had enough food, fresh water and plenty love at each visit. I enjoyed the pic updates and I especially appreciated Melissa coming out in her own time to meet Benji before we left for our trip. Thanks again! ”
“Karie was amazing with my two cats! Very responsive, attentive and generous with her time. She looked after Belino and Drax for 2 weeks whilst I was away and I was reassured they were having the best time. Karie too her time to play with the cats, give them cuddles, brush and of course feed them. Always updating me with great photos! I came back to two relaxing boys 🥰”
“Sarah was really wonderful with caring for my two cats for a week that we were away. She was punctual, reliable and provided helpful updates with photos of the fluff babies (which is always important when being away from them!). I will definitely engage her again in the future, and I highly recommend Sarah! Thank you Sarah for giving us peace of mind that our cats are well taken care of while we were away!”

“Vilma is amazing. I highly recommend Vilma and we could not have asked for more. Our cat was relaxed and happy in all photos and videos Vilma sent us, she kept us well informed of how Dexter was doing which made our time away a lot happier. Vilma gave our cat kindness, patience and space until he was ready and got attached to her. We thought he wouldn’t want to come back home!”
“Hannah turned up on time and her check ins were very detailed with lots of pictures. Really gave me peace of mind that my soppy cat was well looked after while I was away. Highly recommended. Thank you ☺️”
“Lindsey was an absolute star, very professional from the outset - about the booking and noting down every relevant bit of information about Tilly and what was required for each visit. She was impressive! I was provided with daily updates on Tilly who had immediately taken a shine to Lindsey, choosing to have cuddles on her lap at each visit! She adores cats and what more could you want? I would have no hesitation in recommending Lindsey and will certainly be asking her to look after Tilly again.”
“I would highly recommend Jane to look after your furry friends! Jane came to cat sit my 2 cats over a course of a few days, she was super professional and warm during our “get to know you” session and my cats loved her. She gave them medicine, changed the litter, played with them and always sent LOADS of photos and updates. ”

“Ariana was great, she kept us informed and updated about Marney throughout and seemed to form a good bond with her even though she can be fussy. We would definitely recommend.”
“Rhiannon was amazing with the cats! She sent regular updates, ensured that they are well looked after. They did take few days to settle and get used to her, but she managed that quite well! She also took good care of the house and left it in pristine condition. Really appreciated her care and help! Would definitely recommend her and book her again ”
“I would 100% recommend and book Joanne again to look after our cat Lollipop, she updated me with photos of her, her tray, food and water. Lollipop was happy too with her cuddles Thank you Joanne”
“Rebecca was fantastic with dropping in to check on my two kitties! She made sure to keep me updated with photos which was really reassuring. Hope to book with her again!”
“Anna and her little girl were fantastic! It was great to meet her before we went away as we could explain what was needed. Anna was great at communicating at every visit and sending lots of pictures and videos of our 2 girls! They were thoroughly spoilt! She also informed me that we were running low on food so I was able to make an emergency delivery to the house! I would highly recommend Anna to all local pet owners!”
“Really excellent service from Sebastian. He dropped in to feed and administer medicine to my two cats every day for five days. He cheerfully kept me updated with photos and videos, was totally reliable, the litter tray was properly cleared each day, I returned to happy cats and a clean smelling flat, he had tidied the daily cat destruction and even took the rubbish bag out at the end of the stay. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks Sebastian!”
“Marina was great with Flash - she sent us lots of lovely photos and videos during her drop in visits, and picked up on Flash's habits or when something potentially seemed out of the ordinary. From the photos and videos provided, it seemed that Flash was very happy indeed :) We would not hesitate to recommend Marina for looking after any of your fur babies.”
“Jack looked after our cat while we were away for a long weekend. He kept us updated throughout, sending daily photos and messages. Moon can be a bit wary of new people, yet he was settled and relaxed when we got home. We'd happily book with Jack again”

“Thanks for picking up & looking after Pumi today. I really appreciated your photos & videos, and even more, your invite to meet Thea & visit your place before the booking for reassurance. It was great to see Pumi and Thea had a lovely time and Pumi definitely seems very happy and tired tonight! Looking forward to booking your daycare & boarding again shortly. Thanks again!”
“Marina was an excellent sitter. We met in a local park close to where he would be staying before first so he could have a good sniff around before his daycare. Benji settled in well. Marina provided lots of feedback and photo updates throughout the day, was very communicative and approachable. Would definitely use again 🐶 thank you!”

About: Along with caring for friends’ and family dogs, I had my own dog for 16½ wonderful years, which gave me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, including senior care. I provide loving one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, and a calm home environment where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I live in a spacious house with a secure, pleasant garden where dogs have plenty of room to run, play, and relax. Morden Hall Park is just across the street, so daily walks and outdoor time are always part of the routine. Dogs staying with me have access to comfortable beds, toys, fresh bottled water, treats, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. When I go to my office, which is based in the same area, dogs are welcome to come with me, where they also have a cozy space with beds, toys, water, and company. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and included at all times. For senior dogs and dogs who don't like long walks, pram is available for their comfort, so they can still enjoy plenty of outdoor time. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable home environment for dogs staying with me. There are currently no children or other pets in the house, which allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention and supervision. I only board one or a maximum of two dogs at a time and only accept small to medium-sized friendly breeds to ensure a relaxed and stress-free environment for everyone. Dogs are supervised at all times and are never left alone for long periods. My home has a secure garden for safe outdoor play, and Morden Hall Park is just across the street for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, and any special care needs to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and at home.
About: Having grown up with dogs, caring for them comes naturally to me. I regularly look after a friend’s Staffy for anywhere between 2–5 days at a time — he loves staying with us as much as we love having him (he even stands barking at our front door to be let in faster!). I’ve also cared for a Maltese-Yorkie mix who needed to stay on-lead during walks, so I’m very happy adapting to different dogs’ needs, routines, and temperaments. We’ve also looked after an older Cockapoo who needed shorter, less frequent walks, so I understand the importance of adjusting care depending on a dog’s age and energy levels. I work from home 3 days a week and am generally available from Thursday mornings through to Monday evenings, meaning your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My partner has also grown up with and loves dogs and helps out on weekends, so your dog will have lots of care, affection and company while staying with us. My flat also has a large private terrace — big enough for games of fetch — with secure surrounding walls so dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time whenever they like. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos. I am comfortable with both active and calm dogs. Dogs can go on the furniture with no issues. I work from home 3 days a week, so dogs will have plenty of company, attention and toilet breaks throughout the day. I’m generally available from Thursday mornings through to Monday evenings and can adapt walks and routines depending on your dog’s needs, whether they’re energetic or prefer a slower pace. I want every dog to feel comfortable, safe and relaxed in my home. My flat has a large private terrace with secure surrounding walls, so dogs can safely get fresh air and outdoor time whenever they like. I always follow owners’ routines and instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, lead requirements and any special care needs. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while your dog is with me. For dog walking or drop-in visits, I’m also available to visit pets in their own home during lunch breaks and evenings on weekdays. I can also be flexible with timings at weekends to fit around your schedule and your dog’s usual routine.
“Brandy was very happy as soon as he went in and we felt very comfortable with him there- would definitely go again and Brandy along with us are very thankful to Daiana for a lovely day . Thank you so much”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 ( from family, friends and neighbours ) and since I have memory I have loved being surrounded by them. My dog now is 8 years but he lives in Spain with my mum and I can’t miss him more. I am currently working part time only afternoon shifts so I have enough time to look after dogs. Also my schedule is flexible so I am I can care pets at my home and at the pets owner. I have a nice garden and my house is spacious and dog friendly.
“We have left Rocky with Aleksandra a few times over the past few weeks. Rocky loves it, you can tell he feels really at home and is really calm and happy when we pick him up (he’s a very anxious boy usually). Can’t reccomend enough! Has been an absolute game changer to have someone we trust, who is also super flexible around work plans changing etc. thank you!!”
About: Hello! I’m a remote worker with a flexible schedule and a deep love for dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager - whether it was my family’s, neighbour’s or friend’s dog. I took care of senior dogs as well as young ones (even newborn puppies). I have a dog myself - he is a pretty reactive and introverted dog who requires lots of attention, therefore I can also take care of introverted dogs. My dog required lots of work with behaviourists and I was very often present during those meetings, therefore I know how to approach various dogs. I was recently taking care of my sister’s puppy who I taught how to go down the stairs - a pretty big achievement. I enjoy being surrounded by dogs and I take great care of them, ensuring they have fun and the activity they need. I am currently working a flexible part-time job which is remote, therefore I spend a lot of time at home and take breaks where I go for walks. I live in a flat with the right amount of space for a dog - my sister lived in it with her dog previously. We have a garden to which we have an access to therefore whenever there is a need for a little emergency loo break, there is space for dogs. I also live in a green area, so there is a walking distance to many different parks.

About: I have grown up with dogs from Boxer's, Bull Mastiffs, Retrievers and a Samoyed to name but a few. I had my own Jack Russell but sadly, no more. Dogs are your best friend and you can't beat that. I absolutely love the company of dogs in my home, the cuddles, the loves and the playing! I'm very responsible when out walking the dogs and love watching them run or playing fetch with the ball. Your fur baby will be cared for as if they were my own. I'm a nanny and so understand the importance of caring for families most pride processions. I can't wait to look after your dog since I'll have the joy of their company as well as helping you out! *DBS checked *First aid for dogs cert.

About: I have been a proud cat owner for six years and currently have two indoor cats of my own. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience understanding different personalities, routines, and needs of cats. I have also cared for several cats belonging to friends and neighbours through daily home visits. I am happy to provide medication if needed, as well as feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playing, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I treat every cat as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to offer a wide range of availability, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I can easily adapt to your cat’s routine and provide reliable, consistent care whenever needed. I make sure to follow each cat’s usual routine and all instructions provided by the owner. I prioritise safety by checking that doors and windows are secure, keeping the environment clean and tidy, and making sure cats have fresh water, food, and a clean litter tray. I also pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing and provide regular updates and photos, so owners can have complete peace of mind while they are away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a wonderful dog called Barney, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. I currently split my time between London (where I do contract work) and the USA (where my wife is, we're currently long distance). When I’m in the US, I’m lucky enough to live with two lovely dogs of my own, Dash and Daisy, so I’m very used to long walks, routines, basic care, and the love and attention needed to make our best friends feel safe and happy. I miss them so much when I am in London working. I am fit, healthy, and comfortably strong enough to handle larger dogs, as my Dash is a chonky 70lb boy and loves to pull when he sees a squirrel! I can handle energetic dogs, and welcome dogs who will keep me on my toes and give me a bit of exercise too. I have experience walking dogs who do not mix well with others, so I know all the precautions required to prioritise their safety. I do not walk multiple clients' dogs at the same time and have public liability insurance. I'm also happy for you to check my identity via my professional profile on LinkedIn, on top of checks by Rover. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is in safe, caring hands, and I can assure your dog will be looked after with me. I'd love to hear from you and to meet your pup, thanks for considering my services :) My time is split between London where I can work, and Massachusetts, USA where my wife (and pups) are. I am looking to walk dogs or sit in the South-West London area as this is local to me. Caring or walking your dog fits easily into my routine in London as I have a lot of free time and often work from home, and I have no overnight commitments here. I am only available for walking, or dogsitting or visits at the owner's home, as sadly my accommodation in London is not suitable for boarding. I'm a 39 year old experienced professional person who you can rest assured will follow instructions and keep your home and dog safe. I can handle larger and energetic dogs as I am used to handling my own 65lb dog, Dash, who is a puller. Dash is a rescue who had a bad start in life, and he is nervous or defensive around other dogs. This means dog body language, taking precautions on walks, assessing other people and their dogs, and keeping a firm hold on the lead are all second nature to me.

“Thank you for walking my dog Pumi! He seems very happy & tired and managed to have a good break at home, thanks to your walk with him to his favourite park. I will rebook shortly. Thanks again!”
About: I have hands-on experience raising and training a Dachshund puppy from just 8 weeks old, which has given me a great understanding of the care, patience, and consistency that dogs need. I’m a genuine animal lover and would be delighted to care for your furry family member. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities, whether that’s going for walks, playing games, or simply keeping them company. I believe it’s important to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where dogs can feel happy and comfortable. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and, most importantly, stay safe and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work 4 days a week so I have time to look after your loved one on Thursdays and also over the weekend. My fiance also sometimes works from home and therefore can provide care also as an animal lover. I live in a flat with plenty of security and the garden is completely fenced off by walls. I have no animals currently living in the property so there is no risk of conflict with other pets.
“Emily has been amazing. Evie (our miniature dachshund) instantly connected with her, a credit to Emily's calm, loving and caring approach. They have lovely long walks together and Evie is always tired afterwards - sign of a good time! I totally trust Emily and highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Alexei. He’s very professional and brilliant with maple. Replies very quickly to messages and is very careful and dilligent in getting to know Maple’s needs. Would 100% recommend!!”
“This is the second time Anna has taken out my little dog Winston and she does such a fantastic job. She really takes care with following instructions and sends lots of photo and video updates - which are really appreciated. I’ll definitely be using Anna again in the future. Thanks Anna!”
About: I have had pets growing up from rabbits to fish to cats and more recently helping with dogs. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and would go above and beyond to make sure you and your pet very comfortable. I would love them like my own. I have experience with vocal/trickier dogs and house cats. I’m completely able to design my week how I like - I work full time but I can work from home and rise earlier and take long lunches for walks etc. Although I live in a flat I have taken care of dogs in this flat as I am local to a big grassy area for quick toilet visits and a huge park for longer walks. When caring in someone else’s home I would be incredibly respectful of the space and treat it like my own - very tidy and caring.
“Amy has been fantastic - she came and met me and Disco before their first walk together, which put me at ease as I could see how great she is with dogs and how caring she is. Couldn't reccomend her more, and will be rebooking again for sure!”
“Kohin and his partner have been walking my beagle Thea once a week for a number of weeks. They are always on time and communicate regularly with me as well as sending lots of photos from their walks. Their service is excellent and I am more than happy to continue Thea’s weekly walks with them :)”
About: I loved looking after cats and dogs from a young age, as I grew up I started looking after my friends, or family members pets whenever they were away. I work part time and I also have a certificate in pet first aid, along with dog walking certificates. I also work part time as a dog walker whenever I get the chance. I work part time so I have more than plenty of time tonlook after your furry friends, able to take them out on walks or do drop ins whenever needed. I have a garden and plenty of parks near me if you need a dog to be walked, pretty big house too so your furry friend can go wherever they want and sleep wherever they want
“Alice has been great with our two dogs Pepper and Brownie. She’s very helpful, flexible and trustworthy, and she always ensures the dogs always have a great time, I definitely recommend!”
About: Active, reliable dog and cat lover providing safe, fun and caring walks, sitting and companionship for your furry friends! I am committed to providing safe, happy and loving care. I work full-time, primarily from home so I am available most days and evenings Monday-Friday. I can also be available for walks and sitting on the occasional Saturday/Sunday. I’ll provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed and happy.

I have green space around my flat, as well as a number of parks and plenty of space in my ground floor flat to move around and feel comfortable.
About: Experienced dog & cat sitter in Morden, next to Morden Hall Park 🌳 🏠 I live in a house with my partner with a fenced in, secure garden. Having grown up with many animals, I miss their company and adore having the chance to look after them and treat them as my own! Whilst we’re not quite ready to take on a dog of our own, a house is not a home without the love from an animal ❤️ I only ever take one dog at a time to ensure they have our full and undivided attention. I’ve established and maintained relationships with numerous pet owners in my local area, with ongoing relationships for more than 3 years. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from puppies to seniors, from dachshunds to huskys. I WFH most of the week so have lots of time to spend giving love to a four legged friend. I’m also fortunate that my office is dog-friendly, so longer term boarders love coming with me to central London and get showered with attention and love from my colleagues! 🐶 I currently work from home most of the week. As a home body, I love spending time in my own space and love to share that with an animal! I like to keep fit with walks in Morden Hall Park which is a five minute walk away, so having a dog to join me is a joy. I treat animals as if they are my own, with endless care, cuddles and attention. Growing up with lots of pets I miss them having moved to London. There is no greater joy than hanging out with cats and dogs so everytime I do I cherish it!
About: Hi, I am Marina, you local pet expert. I was fascinated by animals since I was a child. I enjoyed helping my aunt to care for sick animals at her vet clinic. 12 years ago I started to look after pets for my friends on ad hoc basis. One day I realised just how rewarding it is and that the pets look forward to my visits. My client list grew and I decided to become a professional pet sitter. I am available to look after your furry friend most do the days. I know life could be challenging, so I am available on a short notice. I have fully fenced garden and a open space plan in the house, so your animal won’t feel claustrophobic. When your furry friend stays with us, I walk the dog at least twice a day for over an hour each time. We live near Morden hall park, where gods have space to run around. Have lots of dogs toys balls/flying rings to play outside.
About: I have had pets my whole childhood from dogs, rabbits, birds to fish! I’m a lifelong animal lover. I love looking after pets for short/long term stays (esp. dogs). From walks to playtime snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a good track record for caring for others’ dogs ranging from a day to a week. I take pride in creating a safe and nurturing environment for animals. I’m well equipped to give them all the care they need. I work from home most weekdays and I’m in London almost every weekend. I’m happy to look after pets in the week and if I’m home on the weekend as well. I work from home and I’m able to provide constant care and attention throughout the day. I love taking dogs for regular walks and trips to the nearby parks. I don’t mind having dogs on my couch or bed, I enjoy the cuddles while watching TV or when having a nap on the couch. I will not leave them alone for extended periods of time as they are my priority when looking after them. If I need to step out it will be for short intervals.
“Lily has been such a godsend. She’s been amazing with Pluto and he is always so excited to see her and happy when he returns from his walks. Love how attentive and understanding Lily is as we get Pluto into a schedule. Highly recommend!”

“Lauren and her family were perfect to look after Cooper. This was our first time leaving him with anyone and we immediately felt comfortable upon meeting them. We were sent daily updates, photos and videos of his adventures. This massively relieved any unease we had. If she will have him we will definitely rebook Lauren for our next trip away. Thank you so much.”
“Dolly had a great stay for a few days with Natasha and George. They are real dog lovers and are very easy to work with - they sent regular updates, and with the hot weather they made sure walkies were done early before it got hot! Dolly was upset to come home but she will be back soon.”
“Nayla was an excellent dog sitter. She was very sweet with Skippy and her own little dog was very sweet and friendly. She took great care of Skippy and I would recommend using her services.”
“Alexei and Lin were the perfect hosts to our dog Skye. They took the time to get to know her at an initial meet and greet, and gave her such a lovely 5 days whilst we were on holiday. They sent daily photos and videos so we could see just how happy she was on her walks, and playing in their garden at home. We can’t recommend them enough.”
“Lauren and her partner were absolutely great, they agreed to look after Lux with less than 24 hrs notice (someone else had cancelled) and were so lovely. Lux had an amazing time and was well looked after - she returned a very tired pup which is a big win!”
“Melissa and Troy were first class sitters. From the first moment we met Melissa during the “meet and greet” session there was clear chemistry between us and especially with Louis. He was extremely well cared for and felt totally at home during his stay. I would have no hesitation in booking with Melissa again . Top marks and thank you so much .”
“Halloumi stayed with Patrycja for a couple of nights. Patrycja took the time to understand Halloumi's needs, we received regular updates, and Halloumi came home happy and tired. Halloumi will gladly stay with Patrycja again.”
“Our puppy Bailey had the most fantastic time with Sebastian and his family. So much so that when we looked at all the videos and pictures everyday we were worried he may not want to come back home with us. It was clear to see that Bailey was settled in as part of the family and we know that when he goes to stay with Sebastian again in a few weeks he will be wild with excitement when we take him to the front door. I would very much recommend Sebastian as a reliable, responsible and caring sitter for your dog. A fantastic experience.”
“Dominique and her partner did an absolutely fantastic job looking after Wilf at such short notice. Clear they love dogs and are experienced sitters, taking the time to introduce our dog to their dog, Pippin (who is lovely). They really made sure that Wilf had lots of exercise and fun and sent lots of lovely updates. Will book again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Iyiola and Monika were great with our doggy! They were very understanding with our dogs little habits and needs. We were grateful that they went over and beyond buying him extra treats and making sure he was comfortable especially since it was his first time boarding. We would recommend them without a doubt!”
“Sophie was a wonderful sitter for our dog Wally! She agreed to meet up beforehand to get familiar, handled pickup and drop off very responsibly, and sent plenty of photos along the way. Wally seemed comfortable with her and I hope she had a nice time too!”
About: I’m qualified in Dog First Aid and have completed a 2-day IMDT dog trainer course, giving me a good foundation in dog behaviour, communication and positive training. I’m also a genuine dog lover and experienced dog owner who understands that every dog is different. Living with an energetic Border Collie has given me plenty of hands-on experience with recall, focus, enrichment, safe exploring and understanding dog body language. I’m patient, attentive and always happy to adapt to each dog’s individual routine and personality. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures or prefers a quiet cuddle at home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I work on a hybrid basis, so I have plenty of flexibility to spend time with your dog throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and daycare, with 3-4 walks a day, play and companionship. I can also accommodate regular routines and individual needs. I live together with my partner in a house with a secure, fenced garden, providing a safe space for dogs to relax and play. I also have a very friendly and submissive Border Collie who enjoys having other dogs around. I’m happy to have a meet and greet as to introduce dogs gradually and carefully, and can provide separate spaces when needed.
“This is our second time using Mia to look after Vera and she was great! Super communicative, takes her on loads of walks, even had a trip to the pub! Vera came home absolutely shattered and really happy. We will definitely be using Mia again”
“Omg Eva was soo sweet and caring to our little old grumpy doggie, that she got instantly soo comfortable. Her two doggies were also very excited to welcome Tiki, and Eva was very good at ensuring they were introduced to each other in the most peaceful way possible. I'm sure Tiki will miss them dearly ❤️ . 100% recommend!”
“Sophie is the loveliest, warm human and on our first meet and greet I knew joffy would be just fine on his overnight with her :) Joffy can be a little anxious at times but Sophie is super caring and understanding and the updates and photos were lovely to receive and very reassuring! Joffy looks like he got the 5 star treatment and lots of treats and cuddle with Sophie. We will definitely be seeing you again soon! Thank you! xx”
“I used Rahim's service for the first time and I was very impressed with his care and handling of Milo. It was fairly last minute and he was very accommodating. I like the pictures I was sent letting me know Milo was having a good time.”
“I'm really grateful to Nish for looking after Chip so well. The communication was great, she was responsive and flexible and Chip came home happy. Highly recommended.”
