“Natasha and George are attentive and loving. Kibi Boo was very relaxed and slept well for his first sleepover at their place. I also absolutely appreciate them for keeping us in the loop for what Kibi Boo has been doing from time to time. Definitely recommend them!”
“Alexei and Lin were fantastic with Runa our rescue dog! They gave her the medicines she needed, were very conscious of her in the heat (walking her early in the morning and giving her wet towels to cool down) and were amazing at keeping us updated! Highly recommended!”
“Lauren watched Teddy for us for 10 days recently, and I had a great experience with her from the first meeting until she dropped him off. While Teddy was with her, Lauren kept us totally updated and even took him on a beach vacation. I saw pictures and videos of Teddy looking super happy, and that really put my mind at ease. I'd definitely trust Lauren with Teddy again. Thanks, Lauren.”
“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. :)”
“Jack was fantastic, looking after our 2yo cavalier, Cooper, for two weeks. We had unprompted daily updates and photos, helping ease our mind that he was getting plenty of care and stimulation. He clearly enjoyed himself, with lots of walks and healthy treats. Jack was happy to apply advocate and check in on any behaviour that may be out of character, and I think Coopers fur was the softest we have ever seen it, due to the care and attention provided. I couldn’t recommend Jack enough for anyone wanting a comfortable home stay for their dogs!”
“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! 🐾”
“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.”
“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”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including my own rescue dog and a large-breed dog. Through years of dog walking and pet sitting, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language, and individual care needs. I regularly attend training sessions with my own dogs and am currently completing courses in Dog Behaviour & Training and Professional Dog Walking. This helps me provide safe, positive, and enriching care for every dog I look after. My experience includes caring for energetic young dogs, nervous or rescue dogs who need extra patience and confidence-building, and larger breeds that require consistent handling. I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment where dogs feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own two dogs every day, including walks, training, playtime, feeding, and enrichment activities. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide regular walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. 🐾 Available all weekends, and love making some trip to dog friendly beaches or big parks. Safety and comfort are my priorities when caring for pets. At home, I have two built-in crates and two large travel crates available for dogs who feel more secure having their own quiet space. If needed, crates can be set up in our bedroom to help dogs settle and feel comfortable, especially during overnight stays. My home has a large, secure garden with an agility area, a dog swimming pool, and a variety of enrichment activities and games to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated throughout the day. I tailor activities to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. I follow owners’ routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication, and training preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
“I was nervous about leaving my dog but I needn’t have been. Lyudmila & her family looked after Oakley so well. It was a home away from home. She sent me videos regularly. He was well looked after & I’ll definitely leave him with Lyudmila again.”

“Wan Yi and Emily are fantastic and communicative, they kept us updated constantly with loads of photos and videos. Ryu and Layla seemed so happy! We will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much!”
“Tyra took a great care of our puppy and senior cat for almost two weeks. Our cat is very shy, never been away from home. Tyra ensured that she is comfortable, has her own space. Puppy enjoyed having a friend and did not want to leave. Both of them had a fabulous time. Tyra kept us updated throughout the whole stay. We are very greatful.”
“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”
“Emma and her partner were great, they kindly did a pre-meet a couple of weeks in advance. Emma contacted me before my dog Juno's stay to ask about her requirements etc. and while Juno was with them, she sent through some updates. Emma and her partner were very friendly and I was confident Juno was being well looked after. I'd thoroughly recommend them ☺️”

“Anna gives us peace of mind when we are away. She loves animals and our cat really loves her visits. She is very good at keeping us updated and is always responsive to any questions we have.”
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 would highly recommend Chuiwu, she took care of my cat (Dante) while my partner and I went for holidays. I had daily updates about Dante including pictures and notes how he was feeling every day. She is very experienced which helped a lot. I think first days in a new environment are always stressful for every cat but Chuiwu made sure that Dante felt safe and supported during that time. I will definitely use her service next time! ❤️”

“Thank you so much for your help, Hannah. We were really appreciative of your professionalism and quality updates.

We're so happy that Kylo took well to you, and we will most definitely be in touch again when we might need some help. Kind regards Karan and Carly”
“Having my 8 month old Maine Coon kitten board with Olivia for two weeks was literally the best 'pet care' decisions I ever took. The loving care, meticulous attention to detail, reliable comms, and maturity plus responsibility with which Olivia looked after my furry baby was truly unsurpassed. I can whole heartedly and enthusiastically recommend Olivia to any pet owner. The best there is really... 😊👍”

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! ”
“Vilma took my 7 year old female cat who has never been away from me or her home before, I couldn't ask for a nicer sitter, she took amazingly good care of my cat to the point my cat wanted to stay with her for a bit longer, the daily updates were amazing and the kindness this woman showed will make me use her again in months to come , I will forever use vilma and her apartment is brilliant for animals of all sizes , thanks so much vilma for the work you do you are amazing”

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.
“Nova had the best time with Sebastian and Nina! With loads of photos and text updates throughout the day, it was great to know that she was enjoying herself. Thank-you so much for being so accommodating and communicative; couldn't recommend more highly.”
“Really happy with the day care experience. It was a last minute booking due to a work crisis but very quick reply and support which really put my mind at rest. Oscar had a great time and I was sent some lovely photos throughout the day. Will definately look to use again.”

“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: Hi, I’m Oi Man, or just called me Ginny. I’m a calm, caring and detail-oriented sitter based in SW London. Cats have a special place in my heart. I fostered a sick cat for several months and later cared for my adopted 10-year-old cat for years before moving to London. These experiences taught me patience, gentleness and how important routine is, especially for senior, shy or sensitive cats. I also enjoy caring for dogs and have done week-long overnight sitting for friends, from a young toy poodle to a senior medium-sized mixed-breed dog. I’m best suited to cats, senior pets, and small-to-medium dogs who enjoy calm companionship, gentle walks and a steady routine. With my creative background in design and photography, I love capturing your pet’s little personality moments, from sleepy stretches and curious looks to playful energy and cosy routines. I’ll keep you updated with clear messages and lovely photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I’ll care for your pet with patience, respect and attention, as if they were my own. I work flexibly from home most of the time, so I can usually plan pet care around my daily routine. On some days I may work from a pet-friendly coworking space nearby, but I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet proper time, attention and care. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, depending on my schedule. For boarding, I live with my husband, who is a great support at home, but I will always be the main person responsible for your pet’s care. My home is set back from the main road, with the entrance at the rear side of the building and a pathway leading in, so it feels quieter than a street-facing entrance. There are a few steps at the entrance and inside the apartment, so my home may not be suitable for senior dogs with serious leg or mobility issues. There is a park just around the corner, which is lovely for gentle walks and toilet breaks. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep dogs on lead unless agreed otherwise, and make sure your pet feels safe, settled and cared for.
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.
“Alexandra is an incredibly thoughtful and caring sitter, and we couldn’t feel more grateful for everything she does with our 8-month old cocker spaniel. She always goes the extra mile to ensure Olive is happy and has everything she needs, and her adorable labrador Lucky is very sweet and friendly - they seem to have the best time together!”
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. I am working from home for now and can give my full attention to your dog which means some lovely long walks ( age dependent of course) but if they are more of a chill dog then that's fine too. There is just myself and my husband at home so your dog will get lots of attention! We live in a split level, 3 bedroom flat and downstairs we have a large kitchen and lounge and directly outside is a big green space plus we are a 1 minute walk away from Mordan Hall Park and 15 minutes from Wandle Park. Your dog is allowed free roam of our flat and make themselves comfortable where they choose to! * DBS checked * Dog first aid course

“Sebastian walked our dog Fraser for three days while our regular dog walker was on holiday. We found him to be very reliable and friendly and he gave Fraser a good long walk each time.

“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: 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!
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.
“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.”
“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 comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities - their safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I’m currently wfh full time so my schedule is completely open and flexible. That means I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, play sessions, or just keeping your pet company throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important routines are, so I will always follow your schedule and rules closely—whether that means feeding times, walk routes, or special care instructions. 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.
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.
About: I have 5 years of experience working with large and small dogs taking care of friends and family dogs over these years. I’m from the UK where I have had my beautiful husky since she was a puppy and have experience in training her in being obedient with great recall! I’m incredibly passionate about building trust with all ages of dogs and ensuring all dogs feel comfortable in my care. I’m always patient in giving them time to get to know me and would happily work with you to allow your dog to feel confident! I’m working from home and would be able to dedicate my time to the care of your pet. I’m dedicated to taking care of your pets over the weekend and I will always try my best to fit this into your pets routine. I will fully respect my clients home and ensure that everything is well taken care of. I will make sure to take time with your pet in trusting me in their space and will make sure to know when they might not feel comfortable. I’m always looking to make sure the owner feels comfortable that I am in their home and how best to take care of their pet.

About: I've grown up with pets in my family home my entire life; from rescue dogs to ex-guide dogs, multiple puppies, kittens to senior cat care, chickens, budgies, hamsters, fish..... An experienced animal lover who has just returned from 6 months of travelling around South America and is keen to help out with nearby pets in the surrounding area - walking, pet/house-sitting, feeding or just general attention I'm happy to help out with! I currently have the freedom to choose when I WFH/ work in the office and happy to change my schedule around suitable timings, and available before and after work if needed as well as in my lunch break for shorter visits. I'm also able to provide care on weekends but would need at least 3 days notice for this. I have a fenced garden in a ground floor flat which I share with my girlfriend who is also an animal lover, and we both frequently work at home, so your pet would be getting a lot of attention throughout the day.

“Natasha and George are attentive and loving. Kibi Boo was very relaxed and slept well for his first sleepover at their place. I also absolutely appreciate them for keeping us in the loop for what Kibi Boo has been doing from time to time. Definitely recommend them!”
“Alexei and Lin were fantastic with Runa our rescue dog! They gave her the medicines she needed, were very conscious of her in the heat (walking her early in the morning and giving her wet towels to cool down) and were amazing at keeping us updated! Highly recommended!”
“Lauren watched Teddy for us for 10 days recently, and I had a great experience with her from the first meeting until she dropped him off. While Teddy was with her, Lauren kept us totally updated and even took him on a beach vacation. I saw pictures and videos of Teddy looking super happy, and that really put my mind at ease. I'd definitely trust Lauren with Teddy again. Thanks, Lauren.”
“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.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including my own rescue dog and a large-breed dog. Through years of dog walking and pet sitting, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language, and individual care needs. I regularly attend training sessions with my own dogs and am currently completing courses in Dog Behaviour & Training and Professional Dog Walking. This helps me provide safe, positive, and enriching care for every dog I look after. My experience includes caring for energetic young dogs, nervous or rescue dogs who need extra patience and confidence-building, and larger breeds that require consistent handling. I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment where dogs feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own two dogs every day, including walks, training, playtime, feeding, and enrichment activities. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide regular walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. 🐾 Available all weekends, and love making some trip to dog friendly beaches or big parks. Safety and comfort are my priorities when caring for pets. At home, I have two built-in crates and two large travel crates available for dogs who feel more secure having their own quiet space. If needed, crates can be set up in our bedroom to help dogs settle and feel comfortable, especially during overnight stays. My home has a large, secure garden with an agility area, a dog swimming pool, and a variety of enrichment activities and games to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated throughout the day. I tailor activities to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. I follow owners’ routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication, and training preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
“Nala loves Sophie, she was so excited to see her. I trust Sophie completely to look after her, she sends regular updates/pictures.I would highly recommend Thanks so much! ☺️”
“Tyra took a great care of our puppy and senior cat for almost two weeks. Our cat is very shy, never been away from home. Tyra ensured that she is comfortable, has her own space. Puppy enjoyed having a friend and did not want to leave. Both of them had a fabulous time. Tyra kept us updated throughout the whole stay. We are very greatful.”
“Emma and her partner were great, they kindly did a pre-meet a couple of weeks in advance. Emma contacted me before my dog Juno's stay to ask about her requirements etc. and while Juno was with them, she sent through some updates. Emma and her partner were very friendly and I was confident Juno was being well looked after. I'd thoroughly recommend them ☺️”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including Rottweilers, Staffys, Pugs, Boerboels and Jack Russells. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing loving care and regular updates while your pet is with me. I am currently on the job-hunt and am available to care for your furry friends at any time (weekdays and weekends). Your pets will be with me the entire time they are in my care, either at my apartment or on a walk with me. My time is flexible and can be catered to your schedule. I live in a spacious 2-bedroom apartment which is walking distance to Wimbledon Common Park. The apartment block is highly secure and our apartment has lots of natural light. We do not have any other animals or children at the apartment. Pets are allowed on the couch or bed, or wherever they feel most comfortable. I enjoy walks in the park and being outside, and will take your pets with me if they are up for it!
“Thank you for looking after our boy! He had the most wonderful time, felt right at home and you made us feel at ease ☺️ Pretty sure he can’t wait for our next holiday so he can visit again!”
“Kat took great care of our dog, Ariel, while we were away. Ariel can be a little nervous, but Kat was patient and caring, and she quickly put her at ease. We really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us peace of mind and reassured us that Ariel was happy and well looked after. It was clear from the start that Kat genuinely loves dogs, and Ariel was in very good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.”
“Clarissa is a dream come true. Straight away she stopped my worrying with about leaving Rizzo with a stranger. She is very warm and friendly. I have no doubt Rizzo had a great time. Clarissa sent me adorable updates also. I would recommend Clarissa to everyone!”
“We have a shy rescue girl and Danica managed to make her fall in love straight away. We were kept updated with pictures and messages daily and I could see Reeva felt at her me straight away. I could tell that Danica was very loving as Reeva was pictured in her most comfortable sleeping and cuddling positions. We were very happy especially because Reeva gets rashes from separation anxiety even when left with family and these time there were no signs of these. We would happily use Danica’s services again if she will have us”
“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.”
“Ross and his partner were absolutely amazing with my 3 yo (sometimes very excitable) pointer! Great at keeping in contact, clearly caring towards animals and good at dealing with dogs. Would absolutely recommend :)”
“Nataliya clearly loves dogs! It was our first time leaving our puppy with her, and he got back to us so happy. She sends regular photos and videos, which is so lovely and reassuring. Would recommend to friends & family 100%!”
“Anastasiia was great! She and her family took amazing care of my pup and we received pics and updates throughout the day. We will definitely be booking with Anastasiia again!”
