“Luna had a great time staying, she was looked after really well and we got lots of picture updates. I was also an hour early to pick her up which was accommodated with no problem. Thank you so much”
“Millie can be a little nervous in new environments, so we knew this stay might take her a bit of time to settle. It did come with a few challenges, but Ornela handled everything with great care, patience, and understanding. Communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the regular updates and the effort made to keep Millie comfortable and supported. We’re very grateful for the care and attention given — thank you again for looking after her so well. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ornela to anyone — she’s a very caring and understanding person.”

“Karyna and Tom were absolutely amazing with Sirius! ☺️ From day one, they kept me updated with messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease.

Thank you both so much! 💛”

“Juliana took the time to meet with us before the boarding, and after chatting with her we felt really confident our little Lottie would be in good hands. Juliana provided regular updates with photos and videos, which I greatly appreciated. Lottie clearly enjoyed all the attention she received! Juliana took excellent care of her throughout the stay, especially during the summer heatwave. We came home to a very happy cat. Juliana was reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly very experienced with cats. I’d definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong connection with cats and understand how unique and individual each one can be. My experience with cats started when I was 12, caring for my first cat at home, and continued later in life when I had another cat living with me in my own flat. These experiences taught me how to respect a cat’s space while also building trust and companionship over time. I’m very comfortable with different feline personalities—whether your cat is playful and social or more independent and reserved. I understand the importance of keeping their routine consistent, maintaining a clean environment, and paying attention to subtle changes in behaviour that can signal stress or discomfort.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud cat parent to two lovely cats of my own. I’ve grown up with cat, dogs and rabbits since childhood, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. You can trust that i'll provide attentive, loving care for pets your while you’re away.
“What can I say… Carina was absolutely amazing! My boys adored her, and she sent reassuring updates so I was able to enjoy Christmas away. I came back to two very happy and relaxed chaps - thank you so much, I couldn’t recommend her more! 🌟”
“Melek was really friendly & totally understands cats! She took good care of Orlando & sent me daily videos so I could see Orlando was happy & relaxed. Melek also fed the wild birds in the garden for me too! Thankyou”
“I have an anxious Cosmo, who had been unwell with stress since I needed to start going to the office twice a week. Gail was his company yesterday, giving him plenty of rubs & playing. I came home to a happy & relaxed boy. Gail will now be sitting regularly, twice weekly. I'm glad my boy has her! And also all the good cat health advice she has.”
About: Whether you’re away for the day, or perhaps a few nights, I make sure your pets stay comfortable, safe, and happy at home. Daily walks, feedings, playtime, and updates included. Peace of mind matters as much as good company. I offer dependable pet sitting with a flexible schedule that works around you and your pet’s routine. I’m a fitness enthusiast, so I’m often out walking local parks and nature trails, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy staying active and getting fresh air. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I adapt to what your pet needs. I keep things simple, safe, and stress-free. I work full time- but flexibly, affording me time before and after my working hours. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d expect from someone looking after mine. I follow your routines and instructions closely, so your pet feels secure and settled in their familiar environment. I keep things tidy, stick to agreed boundaries, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and rest they need. Whether it’s watering plants, collecting post, or keeping things in order, I’m happy to help with the little things that make your time away easier.
“Rose did a fantastic job looking after my lovely Lucky while we were away, sending me updates and photos every day, and we came home to very happy and well-looked-after cat! Strongly recommend Rose! ”
“Bizhen was the perfect sitter, she was prompt with her check ins and left thorough reports on how Sooty was doing, along with lots of photos. I’d highly recommend her to anyone and I’d happily hire her again!”
About: My name is Aga , I'm a mum of 2 children (14 and 18) and we would love to have a dog( I was an owner of 2 dogs before) but as we are renting we are not allowed to have one. We have had a cat for 10 years. I would love to have the possibilty to help someone and at the same time me and my children can give your dog a good time and exercise if essential:) we love spending time outdoors in parks and always dreaming to have a doggy with us. I m sure if you choose us your dog will have an amazing time and come home happy and fit. I’m often busy but my kids can be trusted to treat your pet with love and an amazing walk if you are comfortable with that and have walked dogs before through Rover. I'm currently quite busy but my children are often free and have experience in walking and looking after other people's dogs. We once had our neighbours go on holiday and we offered to look after their dog for 2 weeks and it all went well. Our house is a very safe environment for pets. We had a cat for around 10 years and have now introduced another one into our home.

“Elene is absolutely lovely! Firstly she helped me with a last minute booking, when I came in to her beautiful flat she offered me a drink! Above and beyond 🥰 Leon instantly loved it there and her two beautiful doggies got along with him so well! I could tell he didn't want to leave!

About: As a 39-year-old professional who grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and their unique personalities. With years of experience pet-sitting for friends and family, I’m passionate about providing top-notch care, ensuring every pet feels loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m active and enjoy long walks, and I’d be thrilled to take your furry friend for a stroll through beautiful Richmond Park or other local spots. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or an adventurous outing, I’m happy to cater to your pet’s energy levels and preferences. I also have a car, so I can take them for longer trips to explore new walking routes if desired. Running my own business allows me to tailor my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love getting to know each pet’s quirks and character, and I’m committed to providing detailed updates to reassure you that your pet is thriving in my care. Living in a second-floor flat means I can’t have my own pets, so I’m so excited to share my love and energy with yours. Whether it’s cuddles for a cat or an energetic walk for a dog, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home with me! As a 39-year-old professional running my own business, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine seamlessly. My schedule allows me to prioritise the pets' needs, ensuring they get ample attention, exercise, and love. Daily, I can structure my work around morning and evening walks, feeding times, and play sessions. For example, I love starting the day with a long walk in Richmond Park, which is perfect for energetic dogs, and I’m happy to spend time cuddling or engaging with cats during breaks in my workday. My active lifestyle means I’m always up for multiple walks or outdoor adventures, and I can drive to different locations for variety if needed. I can adjust my commitments to accommodate overnight stays, regular check-ins, or extended care every week, depending on the pet’s requirements. Since I don’t have pets of my own due to living in a second-floor flat, pet-sitting fills that gap and brings joy to my routine. I also make it a point to observe and understand each pet’s personality, providing tailored care and detailed updates to owners to ensure peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my flexible, pet-loving lifestyle! Dog Walking: I offer fun, safe walks in Richmond Park or beyond, matching your dog’s energy. Walks include water, cleanup, and photo updates. Drop-In Visits: I visit your home to feed, play, and cuddle cats or dogs, clean litter boxes, and follow care routines, sending photo updates. House Sitting: I stay overnight in your home, maintaining your pet’s routine with walks, feeding, and attention, keeping your home secure and sharing updates.
“Elizabeth was very kind in accommodating our last minute booking to watch our working cocker spaniel, Rex. She took great care of him and he was so relaxed when we picked him up, despite him having never met her before! We would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would book with her again :)”
“I met Will and Helen for a quick meet and great and I could instantly see how much they love dogs. They kindly showed me their flat and that made me feel at ease very quickly. Will has been the one mainly looking after Lola and from the start he was very accommodating with my requests around timings, care required and flexibility around drop off and pick up. I totally recommend them if you are looking for someone you can trust your little companion to. Thank you Will and Helen for sharing your love with Lola!”
“Alex and Emily were incredible with Luna. She had plenty of fun and came home very sleepy, couldn't have a better experience. I'm glad to know that Luna will be in good hands while we're away. Many thanks Alex and Emily for giving us this peace in mind.”
“I was very happy leaving Margot with Sandra. She welcomed Margot into her home and kept me up to date with messages and photos. I know Margot enjoyed her stay and I would definitely hope to use Sandra again. Thankyou”
“Kobe really likes George and Georgina. He ran into their home this morning very happy to see them. And this was only the second visit. Rest assured, both George and Georgina are brilliant with dogs and we will continue to use their service going forward.”
“Melek and her partner Turgut were great! Melek offered to meet us prior to the daycare day as an intro and Toby was very happy to meet them. I was really pleased with their service. Recommended 100%”
About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover based in Isleworth, offering a safe and comfortable home for your furry friends. I have hands-on experience caring for small dogs and understand their needs, routines, and personalities. I also have a friendly 2.5-year-old Havanese, who is gentle, well-behaved, and enjoys the company of other small dogs—helping create a social and relaxed environment. 🏡 What I offer: A spacious home with a large patio—perfect for dogs to play and relax Frequent walks to keep your dog active and happy Plenty of attention, care, and a calm, home-like environment 🐶 I am especially experienced with small dog breeds and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay. 💬 I’m flexible and available for regular walks, boarding, and daycare. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. Working remotely gives me flexibility to provide consistent walks, attention, and boarding care during weekdays and weekends. I’m home most of the time and can give pets care, and attention throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where pets are treated like family. In my home, dogs are supervised at all times and have access to a secure space, including a spacious patio for play and relaxation. I ensure routines are followed closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I have experience with small dogs and understand the importance of building trust, especially in a new environment. I also have a friendly 2.5-year-old Havanese, who helps create a social and relaxed atmosphere for visiting dogs.
About: I’ve been dog-obsessed since I was a kid (even though my family were terrified), so I made it my mission to be around pups any chance I could get. Whether it’s playing fetch, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m in my happy place when I’m with dogs. I’ve looked after lots of amazing pups over the years, the most is two in my care at once, and I have always had the best time. I’ve even flown to Spain, Portugal, and Dublin just to care for dogs… and honestly, I’d do it again tomorrow (though I’m never one to complain about travelling at the same time). With me, your dog will get all the love, attention, and tail wags they deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Happy, safe, and totally spoiled (in the best way). I have a lot of free time to travel after taking a break from my studies. So honestly, count me in wherever and whenever - I will be there! Exactly as I would if I had my own. The ones I have cared for have enabled me to have that experience and I enjoy going for walks, keeping them active with me and giving them loads of cuddles when lounging about.
“I booked Wiola very short notice and wasn't able to do a meet and greet beforehand as I am not local. But Wiola and her husband met me on a walk with Nala and took their time to get to know her before I left her with them for the day. Nala can be unsure of various things and also reactive towards some dogs, which I felt Wiola understood and considered on their walks. Nala seemed comfortable and happy in the photo updates and like she was having a good time. I would definitely use her again if I am in the area. Thank you, Wiola!”
“Thank you, Vera, and your family for looking after Biscuit so well. She looked happy and well cared for when I collected her. It’s such a relief to know that she was in good hands while we were away.”

About: Growing up I always have had dogs in the house, and my partner and I are so excited for the day when we can have one of our own. With a background in dog training, which, when younger, took me to Crufts to compete at the YKC Heelwork To Music competition, I'm great with dogs and can tailor my service based on their (and your) needs. I also used to volunteer once a week at a dog groomers as a teenager because hanging out with the dogs was so fun. New to the platform, new to the area, but definitely not new to dogs. I have recently moved to London with my partner and am currently at home full time. I am available to walk your dog (basically whenever you need me to). I often go for a run first thing in the morning and would be happy to bring your pooch if you wanted them to burn off some energy with me, or I am available throughout the day to come and walk them. I am a 15 minute walk from Richmond park, so I can take your pup on walk that suits their needs. Need 10 minutes? Easy. Needs an hour or more? Also easy.
“Aisha has come to the rescue assisting me with Cosmo on a last minute ask. Aisha was very attentive, gave a detailed report after the walk and felt very reassured. She made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Well recommended”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, and caring for pets has always felt natural to me. Growing up, our family home was full of life with dogs, and that experience shaped how comfortable and attentive I am with animals of different personalities. We had two dogs in particular who left a lasting impression on me. My sister had a cocker spaniel who was affectionate and playful, and later during my university years I had a Weimaraner—full of energy and always ready for adventure. He and I quickly bonded over our shared love of morning runs, so I’m especially confident handling active, high-energy dogs who need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. More recently, our family welcomed a cockapoo who still lives with my sister, and I’ve remained closely involved in caring for him whenever I visit. Overall, I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s going for a long walk, keeping them company at home, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My setup works really well for pet care — I'm based at home the majority of the week, with just one day out that can flex depending on what's needed. That means I'm available for boarding almost any day, weekends included. Plenty of calm company, no rush, no stress. I live in a third floor flat, so no escape risks and a nice calm environment away from the chaos of the street. The building has a fenced garden which is great for a bit of fresh air, and if your pet needs a longer stretch, Richmond Park is just around the corner — hard to beat. No other pets in the flat, so your cat or dog gets the full run of the place and all of our attention. My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves animals, so they'll have a little devoted fan following them around too.
“Laura is brilliant, she looked after my 6 month old cocker spaniel and he took to her straight away! It was very reassuring leaving him with her as when you meet Laura you can see how much she loves dogs and has lots of experience with them. A really lovely person. Thank you again Laura for your help today, from Ray and Maxine :) xx”
“Susi is such a lovely person and was brilliant walking our dog. We received lots of updates and I was confident he was in good hands. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Susi we will see you again soon!”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats and the occasional hamster my whole life and adore them. I have looked after people’s pets many times throughout Covid but had to stop for a couple of years due to some work commitments. However, my availability has opened up and am very eager to get back to helping out. I am a 29 year old Pilates instructor in Richmond and Barnes. I have a flexible schedule, especially during the daytime and am excited to look after your cat or dog! I am a Pilates instructor, therefore I mostly work early mornings and have the rest of the day free. The only day I work from morning to evening, are Tuesdays. I live in the heart of Richmond and love to make use of all the green spaces. I am incredibly reliable and trusting. I work and live in and around Richmond, and have a great relationship with all my clients in the community. It is very important to me, that I uphold that reputation as a pet sitter.
“Fred was excellent with Elphie. He took time to understand her routine and behaviour, and handled her with a calm confidence that really put me at ease. She came back happy, settled, and she absolutely adores him. Really impressed and will definitely rebook.”
“Nick has been amazing. Our Kale is really happy walking with Nick. Always on time and cheerful and confident, Nick is there to give your pet a playful and enjoyable time.”
“I wasn’t feeling well and needed a dog walker at the last minute and Anya was able to help right away. I gave her very detailed instructions, as Merlin can be a bit nervous after being attacked a few years ago. She handled everything wonderfully, and all went smoothly. I would happily recommend her.”
“Habiba has honestly been soooo wonderful with Mila… which is no small feat given Mila’s size, stubbornness and general Queen-of-the-Arctic energy 😂. She’s been an absolute dream to coordinate with, friendly, professional, responsive, and has gone above and beyond to work around our (often chaotic) schedule. We’ve really appreciated how flexible, patient and genuinely caring she’s been… even agreeing to those brutally early morning walks without batting an eyelid, which we’re eternally grateful for. We genuinely can’t speak highly enough of Habiba and honestly wouldn’t recommend anyone over her. If only more people were like her! Huge thank you from all of us… especially Mila!! 🐾❄️”
“Bizhen was fantastic and did a great job walking my dog Tino. Great communication and listed to all instructions, and great distance on the walk too. My dog really liked her. I would highly recommend to anyone ! :)”
“Shahad has taken such great care of Babbie during her walks. She asks thoughtful questions, shows genuine care and attention, and always sends me photos from the walks, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend her 😊”
About: We always had animals around our house growing up: dogs small and large, cats, birds, bunnies. I love all animals and I’ve always gravitated towards dogs and their energy. I feel very confident around dogs and am happy to follow detailed owner rules or to wing it together with your dog! My job is extremely flexible. I work from home and make my own hours. A typical day would be gym, work from home and walking in Richmond Park at night. No pets at our home. Myself and my flat mate live in a two bedroom flat with a moderately spacious living area. We are both very caring and live extremely close to Richmond Park for amazing dog walks.
“Highly recommend Melek, she's super friendly & obviously a dog lover. Reggie our dog was very fond of Melek instantly and she gave regular updates on walks which is always appreciated. We will def use Melek again!”
About: I started looking after furry friends to help my anxiety and I’m now completely in love with dogs of any shape and size. I’ve met a range of dogs that live near to me in Richmond Hill that I walk and/or look after in my home regularly. I love creating a bond with the dog I'm spending time with and making them feel comfortable with me I typically work at home 3 days a week and have a pretty relaxed schedule so am able to take dogs out when they need. I love an early morning walk but can also take out at lunchtime or after 5.30 in the summer. I’m also usually around at the weekend for walks or sitting which I love as it means I can give my full attention to the dog. I live in a spacious flat with lots of room for playing and any toys or beds they bring with them. I’m gentle and loving with the dogs I look after and give lots of cuddles, but will always take into account any behaviours or boundaries your dog has. When walking dogs I’m very focused on the dog and my surroundings especially when off lead.
“We booked Amelia quite last minute to cover a week of dog walks whilst we were on holiday. She was absolutely super and we would highly recommend her. My dog instantly bonded with her and was kept in good shape whilst we were away. She was able to offer collection from our house and walk him off lead. Don't hesitate to book Amelia ❤️”
About: Hello! I’m Roné (but go by my second name, Stella!), a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up in South Africa surrounded by pets - terriers, German shepherds, Maltese poodles, and rescue cats - and spent my childhood running around our big garden and sandy beaches with my dogs, forming the kind of deep, joyful bond that only pets can bring. Now living in the UK, I miss having pets of my own (apartment rules don’t allow them), which is why I love caring for your furry family members while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping your dog happy, walked, and well-fed, or making sure your cats feel safe, loved, and their routines maintained, you can trust me to treat them like my own. I understand how important it is to leave your pets and your home in good hands, and I pride myself on being reliable, tidy, and communicative. I’m always happy to tailor my care to your pets’ unique needs, so please feel free to get in touch - I’d be delighted to help! I work flexible hours fully remotely so all I need is a good internet connection and my laptop. Please rest assured that your pet will receive plenty of cuddles and their walks throughout my work day Please note that I do not provide boarding or doggy day care due to rent restrictions of my apartment as no pets are allowed in the building.

“We were so lucky to have found Nik and Karina. They truly love dogs and understand them. Our dog Dilly had a bit of a tummy upset and Nik remained calm, communicative, reassuring and supportive. Dilly has had the best stay with them and their dog Luna and I hope they will take care of Dilly again! Thank you so much, both.”
“Oliver was terrific! We met ahead of time to make sure Oliver's dog Monty and our dog Maisie got along fine, and they had a blast at a dog park. It's clear that Oliver has a lot of experience with dogs! We left Maisie with Oliver and Monty for two nights for a quick getaway and picked her up yesterday. Everything went well, and we look forward to booking with Oliver again soon.”
“Snoopy had a fabulous time with Abi. Very well cared for, clearly a happy boy and lots of fab photos and videos during his stay which we really appreciated. Thank you for looking after him and keeping him cool in the heatwave x”
“Sofia has been brilliant with Bruce She looked after Bruce like her own Bruce felt right at home and he had loads of cuddles and fun 🤩 I can’t recommend her enough and Bruce will be pleased to stay with her again. 😘”
“Our dog Coco had a brilliant stay with Tamyn and her family. They made her feel completely welcome in their house and did an absolutely great job of looking after her, giving her lots of exercise, play and attention. Tamyn kept us updated with regular photos of Coco and made us totally at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend Tamyn to anyone - especially if you have a dog that is full of energy like we do!”
“I highly recommend Trish. She took such loving care of Poppy plus sent me updates and photos. I feel lucky to have found her, especially when another sitter dropped out at short notice. It may have been Poppy's first stay with Trish, but not her last ;-)”
“Xinyu was fantastic. She provided morning and evening pictures/videos/updates on how Olive was doing, so it was so reassuring to see her relaxing and going on nice walks on the river walk. Highly recommend her and her partner as loving sitters, and we’ll absolutely be using them again!”
About: My wife and I love animals and have had our current dog Remi now for 5 years. I have gone through a lot of training with Remi including gun dog training, so I am competent in reinforcing commands and behaviour. I like to make sure dogs are engaged on in my care, in whatever way is best suited to the dog. Some dogs really engage with the ball, others enjoy a some level of training or some enjoy a gentle stroll with a bit of inquisitive sniffing about. There are some great walking spots across this area and I am very happy to help take your lovely dog out for their walk. We have a secure fenced garden where your dog can enjoy some outdoor time when boarding or doggy day care, and they will enjoy a loving home while they are here. I am currently doing freelance work at home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am generally available for dog walks, drop in visits, boarding and doggy day care on weekdays. I will always walk in a park in the local area, and I will make sure we talk about anything specific your dog needs on their walk (on/off lead, commands, treats, walk routine, behaviour around other dogs/people etc) so we are both comfortable with everything. If you are ok with it my dog Remi will join us on the walk, but no problem if you want your dog to have a solo walk.
About: Hello! I’m an actor and freelance creative with a passion for animals, and would love the opportunity to bring both you and your doggo some daily joy!🤗🐶 I’ve previously worked for brands such as Butternut Box where I’ve spent time with a variety of dogs and their parents, and I know that like us, every dog is unique and so is the care and attention they deserve! I have some puppy experience, having been an active part of my family dog’s puppy training, and in more recent years have had experience single handedly looking after multiple family dogs. I’m currently working from home so don’t have any particular restrictions on my availability at the moment, although this is subject to change. However as a freelancer I can be flexible to fit around your schedule if needed!! I live in a flat just across the road from a lovely park, very popular with dog walkers, as well as being a short distance from riverside walking paths. I have a car and happy to drive if needed.
