“Dougal recently stayed with Anely and her family for a few days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Anely kept me updated regularly, which I truly appreciated—it was so reassuring to know that Dougal was enjoying his time with her little dog, Brownie, and bonding with Anely's family. It's clear Dougal has grown very attached to her, which is incredibly comforting. Knowing he's comfortable, happy, and in such safe hands allows me to fully relax when he's with her. Highly recommend!”

“Viktorria had Ru for a few days at short notice. We met for an intro walk a week before and took on everything we said. Ru was a bit scared and anxious when he was dropped off but soon settled in and got lots of love and cuddles. We had loads of contact and photos.. thanks for looking after him”
“Amina was a wonderful sitter for Reggie, she can normally be a bit shy when she arrives somewhere new, but she seemed to warm to Amina right away. Can tell Reggie was really looked after and would definitely have Amina care for her again!”
“Hannah is my number one choice for dog care (and my digs first choice too!) She's attentive and kind and keeps us updated. Dexy is really reluctant to leave me in general but is so comfortable with Hannah. Dexy also feels really comfortable with Hannah's partner Jayden which is wonderful as he's more cautious of men in general. I know Dexy is is the best hands when I book him in with Hannah ☺️”

About: I had two family pets for the most part of my childhood, so i am very used to having dogs around me my grandmother also had two beautiful Dalmatians and we were all best friends during my childhood. However in terms of being the responsible parent, I have about 2 years I call her the family dog but shes really my dad's dog, and I look after her when he goes away or cant be in all day. shes a little cockapoo called Bella . She loves a ball and so walkies essentials are a ball , treatos, water and a willingness to play fetch for hours, I actually work completely remotely in my home which is a pet friendly building and a park close by . So if you need day sitting this can be possible I am happy to also either board at the dogs house or they can board with me . I will welcome all the advise from the owner meaning I would not upset the dog's routine and always ask the basics, allergies, behaviour patterns , favoroute toy ect . I live in a new built flat, that has a communal garden and a park near by , the building is very secure living on the 09th floor the only way to come and go is with a key fob. if dogs are inclined they may sleep in the bed always on hand for snuggles and playtime
“Daniela took great care of our 10 year old golden retriever. She kept me updated with photos and videos of the dog out walking and playing. Our dog was clearly very happy with her. I will happily ask Daniela to look after her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Cecilia. I grew up in a family with cats and have been helping to care for them since childhood. I truly love spending time with cats, whether it’s feeding them, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m caring, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important routine and comfort are for pets. I am good with feeding, litter cleaning, and any special needs. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule and have recently moved to E17. I’m available for regular or ad hoc dog walking in the area, as well as boarding. I sadly said goodbye to my much-loved dog, a high-energy corgi raised from eight weeks, about a year ago, and I hope to welcome another dog into my life in the future. Until then, I’m really looking forward to meeting some new local furry friends. My partner is also a dog lover and helps with any boarding duties. We live in a spacious two-bedroom flat in a dog-friendly building with no other pets. We’ve previously cared for several neighbours’ dogs, including longer stays of up to a week. I’m a friendly Canadian who would love to balance my work in front of a laptop with plenty of walks in the park. I can easily fit in walking and minding duties around my remote freelancing schedule. I mostly work from home with occasional meetings on site. We love getting outside and spending time in local pubs and taprooms, so we're happy to bring a dog along with us (but equally as happy to leave them at home if they're not comfortable in those environments). We have Lloyd Park nearby for leisurely walks, or some fetch. We live in a pet-friendly building with a spare room, perfect for a dog that needs a bit of space for their bed or to be crated.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I really love animals!! I have dog sat for friends and family on numerous occasions. I’m a student currently home for the summer, working part-time from home - so I have all the time in the world to look after some animals! I am respectful, well-organised and tidy. I am experienced with pet care, and will respect wishes you have for your pet whilst I look after them.

“Francesca was so brilliant with Hugo, he can be a bit nervous but she put him at ease straight away. She kept me updated on their walks and activities throughout the day!”
“Giedre was excellent with Jiji! She had a very calm demeanor in all of Jijis excitement to meet her. Which allowed Jiji to settle quickly. She applied all of our instructions and took her to two walks to keep her stimulated. Communication was great with several photos of their day. Would happily have Giedre take care of Jiji again.”
About: I've grown up with pets (dogs, bunny and guineapig) and love all kinds of animals. I enjoy long dog walks and spending time in the nature. I'm freelance designer and might have months off between projects. During these periods I could pet sit full time, and doggos can enjoy my full attention and the outdoors in my garden between walks. I have a decent size fenced garden for toilet breaks between walks. The Hollow Ponds is about ten minutes from my flat and perfect for long walks.
“Martina is the perfect dog sitter! She’s super friendly, always on time and sends lots of lovely pics/ videos each day. My dog bounds into her house everytime he goes and is so happy to see her. She’s been flexible when I’ve been stuck on late trains and just generally amazing - highly recommend!”
“Caroline was an amazing dog sitter and showed such great care and attention towards Twix. She took the time to ask plenty of questions about his routine, what he enjoys, and any things he can or can’t do, which really showed how much she cared about making him comfortable and happy. She took Twix on a lovely long walk, and he came home calm, happy, and completely exhausted after a fun day with his new friend. As an extra thoughtful touch, she even gave him a small toy. I’d highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience with both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I have cared for cats for over 15 years and dogs for around 5 years, including senior pets that require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I am reliable, calm, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs, whether that means active playtime, maintaining routines, or simply providing companionship and comfort. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to organize my time effectively. My workday starts at 9:30 a.m., so I have availability in the mornings, as well as in the afternoons. I am also available on weekends and would be happy to help without any issues. If I am providing a home visit, I make sure your pet is well-fed and has a clean litter box. I also try to spend time playing with them, and if they are shy, I simply keep them company and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. If your pet stays in my home, my flat is completely pet-safe and equipped with secure mesh screens to ensure their safety. There are several parks near my home, so if your pet enjoys spending time outdoors, there are plenty of places where we can go for walks and enjoy some fresh air together.
“We had a fantastic experience with Sam! Stevie had a wonderful time and came home a very happy (and very tired!) pup. Sam was super communicative throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. The meet and greet the day before was a lovely touch, really helped Stevie settle in comfortably. Would highly recommend!”
“Laeticia is lovely. She was very warm, arrived punctually and asked lots of questions about Peggy and her needs. Great communication throughout the day and Peggy seemed very relaxed when I got home. I would happily ask her to come again.”
“Always happy to have our pup stay with Hannah and Leighton. They clearly take great care and genuinely want to make sure he feels at home. Our pup gets regular walks, lots of cuddles, and always comes home chipper as can be.”

About: As I live alone I often find myself having spare time and would love the company so in a way you’ll be doing me the favour 😊 I’ve looked after all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to cats and dogs. My grandparents always had dogs which I grew up with and have looked after family and friends furry pals too! I’m working from home 2/3 times a week as a designer in ad sales so I’m not in back to back meetings and am able to take breaks as and when needed. I often go to Epping forest at the weekends as it’s only a short trip away! I’m not a big party animal so welcome the company when I can 😊 I welcome clear instructions as to how you want me to look after your loved ones. I always want to make sure they have the best experience and are safe. My flat has a communal outdoor space around it and it’s very secure once you’re in the building you can only be buzzed up. I treat my home with love and care, the same rules apply for anyone else’s
About: Having taken on my mothers elderly and hyper-attached Bichon 5 years ago, I have experience with high need dogs, bolstered by years looking after other dogs with my partner Fred. I am currently available to care for your dog all day every day. As Elsie has separation anxiety we never leave dogs unattended and give them all the attention they need. We have a long garden suitable for fetch and zoomies. We have dog beds throughout the house but allow dogs on beds and sofas - if that aligns with their home rules.
About: We’re a dog-loving couple based in Walthamstow, excited to start walking and dog sitting for some local pups! While we’re new to the platform, we bring over 5 years of experience caring for dogs through regular dog sitting for friends and family. We’re confident in looking after dogs of different breeds with a wide range of needs and personalities, from puppies to older dogs. We are both young professionals who work from home, which means your dog will get lots of love, plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. We’re also close to Leyton flats so can take your dog out for extended walks there. We understand that your dog is family and will take the time to understand their routine and preferences. At least one of us works from home at all times so your dog will always get attention and company all day. We work regular hours so will have time for morning, lunch time and evening walks so can adjust based on the amount of exercise your dog needs. On weekends we like being outside so can take your dog on longer walks if this fits their routine. We live in a house on a quiet road with a fenced garden. There’s lots of space so happy to host bigger dogs. We’re near Leyton flats so plenty of outdoor space for longer walks and exercise.
“Thank you Caroline for making us feel super at ease with leaving albie with you. He had a lovely time, we received updates and photos, it was genuinely so nice meeting and look forward to your next visit!xx”

About: I’m based in Walthamstow, living with my boyfriend in a lovely flat with outdoor space. We miss having pets at home - when we lived in Oxford we looked after family and friends pets all the time, and then had a good stint on borrowmydoggy in London.

(My neighbour was a vet so I was very immersed in his work) I’m also a single mother of two; child and my kitten - however I do not tend to have them present around your pet during visits! I would be delighted to meet you and your furry friend :) Have a wonderful day 🌞!

I have a flat with fenced garden in the back as well as a park right across from my home. I also am happy to provide blankets/ toy to help feel more comfortable:)

“Jimbo had a lovely time with Brian. I was sent lots of updates during the day and overnight. I would definitely leave Jimbo with Brian again. It was clear he loved having Jimbo, and also dropped him off in the morning! Great sitter ☺️”

“Excellent sitter, great communication. Thomas came to meet our dog before the first booking, he offered pick up and drop off, sent regular updates and looked after him really well. Highly recommended.”
“Daniela took great care of our 10 year old golden retriever. She kept me updated with photos and videos of the dog out walking and playing. Our dog was clearly very happy with her. I will happily ask Daniela to look after her again.”
“Florrie and Hannah (and Fraggle!) were great with Koko. Florrie sent regular updates and photos and checked in with me on Koko’s routine which was thoughtful. Koko seemed to have a great time with all three of them and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to look after her again, or recommend to others :)”
“Khush and Triv were incredible with Patch - I wouldn't hesitate leaving him with them again. I liked the fact that they suggested on a meeting prior to booking, to ensure that Patch was familiar with them both, and so they could learn about his feeding and exercise schedules first hand. Thwy were great at sharing updates via text and photos on how Patch was getting on, what they were doing and where they were going together. Patch got plenty of exercise and plenty of sleep as a result, and was a very happy dog throughout - it was clear that they really cared about him, and looked after him as if he was their own. A lovely couple and fantastic dog sitters.”
About: I’m particularly experienced with whippets, labs and border collies, but adore all and have grown up with dogs in my family, so being around them feels very natural to me. I work from home a few days a week, which gives me flexibility, and I’d be very happy to have dogs stay with me, or to look after them in someone else’s home. I’m keen to spend as much time as possible with different breeds whilst I decide which dog to get for myself! Caring for a pet fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work from home two days a week and have fairly quiet weekends, so during the daytime I’m able to have a dog with me and give them plenty of attention. I’d be happy to take them out for walks during my lunch breaks in the local park, and at weekends I enjoy longer walks around the wetlands and marshes nearby, or further afield. Overall, I have the time, flexibility and lifestyle to provide consistent care, exercise and companionship. I live in a one-bedroom flat with a small, secure garden at the back. Dogs staying with me would have a calm, comfortable space and plenty of company during the day. I have a dedicated space where they can settle next to me while I work. I’m very attentive to a dog’s individual needs and would make sure they get the right amount of exercise - typically this would include a couple of shorter walks during the day and one longer walk, adjusted as needed depending on the dog’s age, energy levels and routine. In someone else’s home: I’m very respectful and conscientious when caring for pets in other people’s homes. I previously worked as an au pair, which has given me strong experience in being responsible, discreet and trustworthy in someone else’s space. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking and care instructions, keeping routines consistent, and making sure both pets and owners feel at ease.
“Max had an amazing time with Seth, Fred and Elsie. Seth took the time to meet Max before his stay and find out everything about him. The daily updates and beautiful photos were very much appreciated and made us feel completely at ease knowing that Max was having lots of fun! Max came home completely relaxed and content. I cannot recommend Seth and Fred enough. They are kind, welcoming and extremely understanding (which helps when you have an anxious dog and owner!). I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Max with them again. We are so grateful to have found such wonderful dog sitters and Max is counting down the days until he can stay again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”
About: We got our dog Nova in February and she is the sweetest. We train her well as she's going to be a big dog. She enjoys walks and food, and would love a companion to play with at home. About us: Magali grew up with 2 Bichons, and Max grew up with 3 yorkies and 1 American cocker. We provide a calm, loving home with plenty of walks, attention and structure. Open to all dogs that are house-trained, we have a potty on our balcony for dogs with extra needs. My partner works from home 2/3 time a week and I generally work from 1/2 a week. Weekends are generally a mix of walk around Hackney, gym, and relaxing time. We live in an apartment on the 4th floor with a secure balcony. There's a potty section for dogs with extra needs. The flat is secured since our dog was a puppy when we got her and we have an easy access to Victoria Park / Hackney Downs / London Field.
“Xiaoyi was amazing with Karo! She was very flexible, updating me on the situation with photos daily. I could see Karo is happy and well cared for. Thank you so much! Hope we meet again soon”
“Laura was the absolute perfect sitter for our dog Ray. She had previously walked him a few times before boarding him for 3 nights. Ray suffers from separation anxiety and is on meds and so finding someone to leave him with can be stressful. Laura was completely understanding, reassured us throughout and sent us regular updates. Ray couldn’t have been happier while we were away which allowed us to relax and not have to worry about him. We would have no hesitation at recommending Laura.”
“Andreea is honestly such a kind and caring sitter. I would highly recommend Andreea to anybody looking for someone that truly cares about animals. My pup came back very happy. We also got lots of photos and updates about Nova throughout her stay with Andreea. Nova was very lucky and Andreea had brought her some toys to play with. Andreea surpassed our expectations and I am so grateful for how she looked after Nova. I will definitely book Andreea again!!! Thank you so much 😊”
About: Wolf Mama Walks 🐺🩵🩶 Hi! I’m Natalia 😃 – I offer dog walking & pet care in London (Leyton + nearby streets & parks). Since my teenage years, I have cared for large breed dogs, and I personally raised and brought my beloved husky with me to the UK. Dogs have always been part of my life ❤️. I treat every dog like family – observing their energy, tuning into it, and building a true bond. Dogs feel my presence, trust me, and follow my lead naturally. I live here with my daughter, who also shares my love for dogs. Wolf Mama Walks isn’t just about walks – it’s a time when your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for. 🐾 Dog Walking | Dog Sitting | Energetic Care ✨ Caring for dogs is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day I plan walks and individual care around the dogs’ energy and needs, ensuring they get exercise, socialisation, and attention. I run structured group walks in the mornings and afternoons, and offer individual walks or daycare as needed. Every week, I maintain consistent routines so dogs feel safe, happy, and confident, while always tuning into their energy and well-being. For me, dog care isn’t just a job – it’s part of life, full of love, attention, and connection. Whether caring for dogs in my home or at theirs, I ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. At my home, I create a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. At the owner’s home, I follow their routines closely – feeding, walks, and any special care instructions – while tuning into the dog’s energy to make them feel secure and happy. Every dog is treated like family, and my goal is always to provide care that’s attentive, energetic, and full of positive connection.
“Well what can I say what can I say except that this guy is not only amazing but he’s empathetic to both the needs of the dog that he’s looking after and the dogs owners, constant updates on how our beautiful boy was doing whilst being away from us constant supervision definitely would recommend this guy and definitely will be using him again, Hopefully he won’t be too busy that he won’t be able to take up our Bookings because he’s so popular but thank you once again for looking after our boy I’m definitely going to book in with you again very soon, if anybody is looking for an intent to Dog Sitter, this is your guy kind regards KAT B”
“Emily was amazing! I could not have asked for anyone better to look after Luna on such short notice. It is clear how much she loves and cares for dogs. Luna was happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we picked her up—she almost seemed reluctant to leave and come home! I greatly appreciated Emily’s kindness, communication, and the many updates and photos she sent throughout Luna’s stay, even when I wasn’t able to reply. I would happily trust Emily to look after Luna again. As a fellow Doberman owner, I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Emily!”
“Christos was fantastic with my dog. She came back home happy. I received pictures and videos of her. She had lots of walks and was welcomed as a pet of his own. I would definitely use Cristina again in the future.”
About: I’ve always been happiest in the company of dogs—usually when I’m a bit muddy in the forest or watching my dog, Kika, scream with delight, as she fetches a stick from the water. I’m new to Rover, but for three years I’ve been a "second home" to medium and large dogs through word of mouth and local friends. I’m even known as the ‘treat lady’ in the park because I always have a pocket full of healthy treats for any of Kika’s friends who are allowed them! I waited a long time to get my own dog, and when Kika, my Doberman, arrived, she changed my world. She is my universe, and I revolve my work-from-home life around her happiness. I know first-hand that being away from home can be stressful, so I aim to be a true continuation of your own home—with all the cuddles, 2.5 hours of forest walks, and one-on-one attention they deserve. I only take one dog at a time because I take this responsibility seriously. Recently, I did separate trial nights for a Doberman and a GSP. While one settled perfectly, the other struggled with extreme separation anxiety. Rather than letting that dog suffer, I worked with the owner to collect them the same night, so the dog learnt they weren't being abandoned, but just visiting. This experience reinforced for me that every dog needs a different pace to feel safe; some need a few short visits to remove the fear before a long stay. Ultimately, you want your dog to be relaxed and happy, not frantic, while you are on holiday. I have a lot of love to give any dog, but my experience lies mostly in bigger breeds—I’m very comfortable with the physical side of lead handling and the energy levels of larger dogs. I’m also very tuned into body language; I’ve spotted health issues like worms in guest dogs before and sorted it with a vet visit before the owners even returned. After a mucky forest walk or a swim, I’ll always make sure they’re dried off and checked for ticks or hot spots. I also believe in gentle, consistent manners, like waiting for food or sitting at crossings, so their good habits stay sharp. If you’re looking for a loving forest retreat, where your dog is treated like family, I’d love to connect. I'm happy to help dogs of different sizes and ages. An initial meet and greet is 100% essential, for peace of mind, and to ensure Kika and your fur baby will be the best of friends. Since I run my home interiors business from our house in the forest, my whole day is naturally structured around Kika’s routine. I only ever host one dog at a time, so your pup won't just be "staying" here—they truly become a member of the family and get my full, undivided attention. Our days are all about adventure. We don’t just stick to one path; we explore all sorts of different terrains and trails so the dogs never get bored. Our walks usually total around 2.5 hours a day—a good long trek in the morning and a shorter stroll in the evening. It's a mix of proper sniffing, exploring, and of course, a bit of squirrel chasing if that’s what your dog lives for! We know so many of the local dogs in the park and forest, so there’s always a chance for a bit of social play. I love using these moments to reinforce those all-important manners, like staying focused and being a "good citizen" around others. If your dog loves the water, there are some great spots for a swim, too. I’m a firm believer that a happy dog is often a muddy one, but don't worry—I make sure every "mucky pup" is thoroughly cleaned and dried off so they’re cozy and comfortable back at the house. When we aren't out exploring, your dog will have my constant company while I work. My home is a calm, quiet space where they can snooze at my feet or pop out into the garden whenever they need. I’m always right here to make sure they feel settled, secure, and completely loved until you’re back. I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your "baby" with someone else—it's a huge deal. My goal is simply to make them feel as safe and loved as they do in their own home. We’re so lucky to live right in the forest, far away from busy roads and noise, so it’s a very peaceful place for a dog to just be a dog. Inside, my home is totally dog-friendly and guest dogs are genuinely welcome everywhere. If your pup is used to cuddles on the sofa or sleeping nearby, they’ll find plenty of that here—there are no "off-limits" zones in this house! I treat every guest with the same protective love I give Kika; I want them to feel "heard," happy, and completely relaxed. I always insist on a Meet & Greet before we book anything. It’s so important for the dogs to have a sniff and a play first, but it’s also for you. I want you to feel 100% at ease knowing exactly where your dog will be resting their head and who they’ll be spending their day with. Once we’ve all met and everyone is happy, you can head off knowing your dog is having the best time with us.
