“Natasha and George were amazing with our French Bulldog! He's a rescue and has some behavioural issues with new people and they were so patient and understanding with him. They sent us lots of photos during the stay which was really comforting as well. We have another stay booked in May and feel so happy with our choice of sitters!”
“My pup absolutely loved staying! Jack was so attentive my my pup and settled my nerves (first time i was away from her). Sent photo and video updates and could tell she was so happy. I would definitely recommend”
“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!”
“Sabie came back from her stay with Lyudmila a happy pup. We received many photos and video updates which helped us relax with the knowledge she was being looked after. We will definitely use Lyudmila’s service when the need arises again.”
About: In 2024/25, my partner Lin and I have completed over 20 successful House-Sits (including 5 repeated sits) for 29 dogs, 13 cats, 7 chickens and 6 alpacas. From energetic puppies to elderly rescues with medical needs. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, or keeping your home tidy and secure, we take pride in treating every sit as if they were our own. Rest assured, you’ll have peace of mind whilst you’re away. Now we are settled in south London and ready to provide repeated drop-in or walk services to our new neighbors. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! We both work from home and are very flexible with our living arrangements. We make our schedule adhere to the routines of the pets that we care for, and this means we can give your pets all the love and attention they need while you're away. We are happy to arrive early before the sit to get to know you and your pets better! We're very careful about committing to a sit, as we know that once a commitment is made, you're relying on us to follow through with all the responsibilities you're hiring us for, and this entire arrangement relies on the trust you're placing in us to care for your pets and home. We usually arrive with plenty of time to go through the details, making sure we know all there is to know about the routines, favourite walks and all the dos and don'ts for your pets. Frequent updates with photos and videos will be sent to you unless you want a quiet holiday.
“Maanik had an amazing time with Ally! She is so caring and patient and will really listen and help with any specific needs for your dog. She was kind and welcoming and our dog warmed up to her very quickly! Will definitely book with Ally again. :)”
“Nayla was great! She cared so much for Brinjal, and looked after him incredibly well. Brinjal had such a happy stay with her. She was responsive and thoughtful, and very communicative throughout. Would certainly recommend Nayla for anyone looking to have someone take care of their pet!”
“Daisy had the best time staying with Sarah 😊 she had lots of walks, cuddles and play and Sarah kept in touch with me throughout the weekend letting me know how Daisy was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah (and Chip) again and again. Thank you for taking such lovely care of my puppy! X”
“Lauren and Jack are so great! Nacho loved his time with them. Lauren and Jack kept us up-to-date with Nacho’s little holiday with photos, which was great - he was out walking, cuddling and playing - all his fave things. Thanks Lauren and Jack - you were amazing!”
“Juliet took care of our family pet Mickey(anxious- rescue) for 12 days without any issues. He took time to settle in with Juliet but she handled it well so we could have peaceful holiday. She walked him well and he was in good shape when returned. I strongly recommend Juliet and would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Remy! Wing shared lots of photos and videos of our Frenchies playing and relaxing together, as well as updates on how well he was settling in. I would trust her to have him again”
About: I’ve work from home full time and have been around dogs ever since I was a a teenager and worked at a groomers for a few years. I have had 2 dogs of my own and have experience looking after up to 2 dogs in my household at any one time, with different needs. I love dogs and treat every single one as my own when I take care of them, and they will be getting all the cuddles in the world! I live alone and work from home full time on a flexible schedule so I can accommodate all walking/feeding/potty schedules. Any pups that come round are a part of my life so rest assured I will take care of them like they are my own. They normally sleep in my bed unless there is another preference from the owner. I live in a one bed by myself and have a large couch for your pup to get comfortable on! I have 3 large commons near me for walkies as well.
“Hugo was amazing and our French Bulldog loved his stay! From the moment we enquired he was really quick and friendly in responses, put us at ease and gave daily updates and pics. Couldn't be happier with the experience and would definitely use Hugo again!”
“Kat was brilliant with Gofio even though he's a handful. Gofio needs lots of understanding, patience, space and play so I can't leave him just with any sitter. Kat listened to us and him! She's survived 18 nights of cuddles and gave him all her attention. Gofio was safe, well looked after and fed. Kat is sure to keep seeing Gofio! :)”
“What a lovely home to leave my baby Kiwi in, very friendly and accommodating from the start to finish. Will 100% recommend and be using again. Thanks again so much for looking after my pup xx”
“Another comforting (for me) and active, caring (for Pickle) stay with Melissa. Pickle obviously feels very at home which is everything an owner could wish for. Thanks so much, Melissa and family.”

About: I'm a 20-year-old Biochemistry student at King's College London and a lifelong cat lover with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cats. Having owned cats with different personalities and needs, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and creating a calm environment while their owners are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every cat feels safe and comfortable. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and keeping to your cat's usual routine. I also understand that some cats are very social while others prefer their space, and I always adapt my approach to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, so I aim to provide regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind. I'll treat your cat with the same care and affection that I give my own.

I can whole heartedly and enthusiastically recommend Olivia to any pet owner. The best there is really... 😊👍”

“It’s a second time she’s looking after my cats and I need to say She’s very amazing . Always sending me pics of them to keep me updated about everything. I’m so happy about her as usual 😍😊”

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.

My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher, my schedule gives me a great balance for pet care. During school holidays and weekends, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and company. I’m naturally very active and love being outdoors, so caring for dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have a fenced garden and a very secure spacious house for the dog to feel at home in. The area is very quiet and dog friendly.

About: Hi my name is Olivia and I live with my partner James in Morden. We absolutely love dogs and hope to get one of our own some day, but for now I'm looking to put my dog care experience to good use, and would love to look after your pet for you! Whilst I'll be the main carer, James has also spent lots of time with dogs and so is often on hand for extra cuddles and playtime too. I had a black labrador as a child so have been around dogs from a young age. Since then I have regularly looked after dogs for friends and family. I regularly looked after a friends dog with seperation anxiety, keeping them company and being a calming influence whilst the owners were at work. I've also cared for other peoples dogs through the likes of Borrow my Doggy and Trusted House Sitters. I am experienced in feeding, walking and entertaining dogs. I would always follow your instructions and their routine. I work quite flexibly. I work part time and am also a part time PhD student. I work from home and have a flexible schedule on my PhD days to accommodate your schedule. On weekends and evenings my partner James is also around and tends to help me out with any pets in our care. I have an enclosed garden so your dog can go outside safely. I am happy to accommodate your dog as best I can so just let me know what they need. I live very close to Morden Hall Park as well as lots of other green spaces and so would be sure to take your dog out for a walk(s) as needed throughout the day.
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!
“Amy has been a fantastic regular dog walker for us for awhile now, but today she went above and beyond when she came in and found our dog limping badly. I was traveling for work and wasn't reachable right away but Amy continued to try to reach me until she did, sending videos and information so I could assess the situation. She didn't leave until Pita was all sorted. Really appreciate such a caring and dedicated walker!!”

About: I’ve grown up with Border Collies all my life—my first from age 7. While living at home until 2 years ago, I was the main dog sitter whenever my parents were away, which meant daily feeding, walks, and lots of playtime. I’m very used to taking dogs on long country walks and making sure they get both exercise and companionship. I can’t have a dog of my own right now, but I really miss that connection and would love to help care for others’ pets. I understand how important a dog is as part of your family, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care as I would my own - that’s why I will never be looking after more than one family’s pets at a time time make sure I can fully focus on their needs, it also means I’m happy to look after any pets that don’t do well with others as they will be my only priority.

I’m happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment or welcome them into mine, and I’ll make sure they always feel secure, loved, and well looked after.

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.
About: I provide reliable, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, whether that means energetic walks for younger dogs or gentle care for puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. I enjoy spending time with dogs and plan my schedule so they receive the care and companionship they need. I provide safe, reliable, and loving pet care in both my home and the owner’s home. I follow each dog’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“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: Animal lover since I can remember. Have a family dog (patterdale terrier) and after moving out, help with the occasional dog sitting. Would love to get to know and look after your pets! I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. The days I work changes each week but it does leave me with a good amount of time off so I'll hopefully be available to help! I have a 1 year old cat so I won't be able to have your pets stay at mine unfortunately, but would love to follow any instructions and routines that you might have.

“Natasha and George were amazing with our French Bulldog! He's a rescue and has some behavioural issues with new people and they were so patient and understanding with him. They sent us lots of photos during the stay which was really comforting as well. We have another stay booked in May and feel so happy with our choice of sitters!”
About: In 2024/25, my partner Lin and I have completed over 20 successful House-Sits (including 5 repeated sits) for 29 dogs, 13 cats, 7 chickens and 6 alpacas. From energetic puppies to elderly rescues with medical needs. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, or keeping your home tidy and secure, we take pride in treating every sit as if they were our own. Rest assured, you’ll have peace of mind whilst you’re away. Now we are settled in south London and ready to provide repeated drop-in or walk services to our new neighbors. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! We both work from home and are very flexible with our living arrangements. We make our schedule adhere to the routines of the pets that we care for, and this means we can give your pets all the love and attention they need while you're away. We are happy to arrive early before the sit to get to know you and your pets better! We're very careful about committing to a sit, as we know that once a commitment is made, you're relying on us to follow through with all the responsibilities you're hiring us for, and this entire arrangement relies on the trust you're placing in us to care for your pets and home. We usually arrive with plenty of time to go through the details, making sure we know all there is to know about the routines, favourite walks and all the dos and don'ts for your pets. Frequent updates with photos and videos will be sent to you unless you want a quiet holiday.
“Nayla was great! She cared so much for Brinjal, and looked after him incredibly well. Brinjal had such a happy stay with her. She was responsive and thoughtful, and very communicative throughout. Would certainly recommend Nayla for anyone looking to have someone take care of their pet!”
“Lauren and Jack are so great! Nacho loved his time with them. Lauren and Jack kept us up-to-date with Nacho’s little holiday with photos, which was great - he was out walking, cuddling and playing - all his fave things. Thanks Lauren and Jack - you were amazing!”
About: I’ve work from home full time and have been around dogs ever since I was a a teenager and worked at a groomers for a few years. I have had 2 dogs of my own and have experience looking after up to 2 dogs in my household at any one time, with different needs. I love dogs and treat every single one as my own when I take care of them, and they will be getting all the cuddles in the world! I live alone and work from home full time on a flexible schedule so I can accommodate all walking/feeding/potty schedules. Any pups that come round are a part of my life so rest assured I will take care of them like they are my own. They normally sleep in my bed unless there is another preference from the owner. I live in a one bed by myself and have a large couch for your pup to get comfortable on! I have 3 large commons near me for walkies as well.
“Kat was brilliant with Gofio even though he's a handful. Gofio needs lots of understanding, patience, space and play so I can't leave him just with any sitter. Kat listened to us and him! She's survived 18 nights of cuddles and gave him all her attention. Gofio was safe, well looked after and fed. Kat is sure to keep seeing Gofio! :)”
“Halloumi had a lovely overnight stay with Sophie, and came back happy and tired. Sophie was very responsive and shared regular updates. Halloumi will happily stay with Sophie again soon.”

“Haru had a great overnight stay with Clarissa and Jun. We had met them before his stay and he was very excited and happy to see them again. Kept us updated with some cute pics and it seems Haru really enjoyed their company. He was sad to leave! I will be sure to use Clarissa and Jun again.”
“Cheyenne is a wonderful sitter. When I pick Bobbie up after a few days away she is always chilled and relaxed and obviously very well looked after and we get daily updates and photos too. Would thoroughly recommend Cheyenne.”
“Anastasiia was amazing with Klaus!! She sent us several photos and videos, and she was always available to talk and answer any questions about him. I am extremely grateful for how wonderful Anastasiia was with Klaus during their time together.”
“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.”
“Mel is a super star dog carer, giving our 4 year old cockapoo all the love and attention he needs haha. Lots of pictures and updates throughout to put us at ease - he was clearly a happy boy and really enjoyed his stay with Mel and her hubby. We will book again!”

I am currently on the job-hunt and am available to care for your furry friends at any time (weekdays and weekends).
