“My doggos absolutely loved Danny. He came to us for 3 days to help me during an injury and every morning and evening my dogs were waiting for him very excitedly. Danny was punctual and super friendly and even made accommodations so I could book him again for another morning. 100% will become a regular with Danny”



“Angélica is wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, and very communicative before, during, and after walks. I appreciate all of the pictures and updates she provided. Highly recommend. We will definitely use Angélica again in the future!”


“I’m so happy with Matas and Remi walking Vincent. This was the first time we handed over our 40kg rescue dog to a dog walker. Vincent felt at ease, and Matas handled his hour-long walks with great competence.”


“Aysen has been walking bambi for couple weeks now. She’s super gentle and caring with Bambi. Super helpful and gives flexibility if any issues come up. Also if she needs to cancel she lets me know asap and not last minute super helpful. Thank you”



About: Where do I start.... The most important question to be asked is... Do I Love Animals... Answer.... Yes very much so, all animals big or small. Despite my passion for dogs, Cat/ Small Animal Sitting is my main speciality, as I feel I have a good bond with kitty cats especially as I live with 2 of them myself , so it if is this service that you require, I am you Kitty Sitter and I would be over the moon to be able to help ???????? Ever since I was a little girl, have spent my life growing up with dogs, training and playing with them and as a result of my love for animals I spent some time doing work experience in the vets near to where I used to live. I am very passionate about animals and I can truly say that I just love them to bits, well ALL animals really. Looking after animals gives me that sense of enjoyment knowing that I am helping someone out and getting time to spend with a much loved Pet. As I currently work full time in the City of London, I am free for doggie walking between the hours or 6am-8am and the again from 7pm-10pm. I am free Saturday morning for dog walk and any house sitting and am free all day on Sundays. Happy to walk dogs early morning and in the evening as well as weekends too. If feeding pets is required I am more than happy to do that too

About: I’ve pets all my life, dogs when I was a kid and cats when I was teenager. During the pandemia I spent 7 months in Spain in a country house and animal cats started to come to our place for food. We fed them, take care of them for those months and found family for them. My sister has a dog, Lua and my partner’s family has a dog Buddy and we love to spend time with them. I love animals unfortunately we travel a lot so we can’t have our own pet in London. I run my own company so I can work around my own schedule and take care of pets when they need to go out for a walk. I don’t have a crate at home so the pet will be free in my flat and I don’t like pets in cages I like them to feel free like at home

“Natasha has been absolutely fantastic! She's been walking Charlie for a few weeks now and has been very patient with him, particularly when he gets too excited. She keeps us updated with his walks and makes sure he's settled with a treat before she leaves. We're so relieved we've found Natasha and would thoroughly recommend her.”


About: I’ve had puppies, older dogs, rescues so have lots of experience with different temperaments. I love animals and would love to have a furry friend to take care of in London part time too :) I work 8:30-5:30, Mon to Fri but would love to look after your pet over a weekend/ walk them during the day Friday/ Saturday/ Sunday :) I am more than happy to chill with your dog at home or take them out for a walk to get some exercise. Whatever they’re pace is, I can match it

About: Hi there! My name is Carlos and I am an enthusiastic Biologist coming from Spain. I am currently working part time which gives me the opportunity to do what I love the most: taking care of animals, especially dogs. I often pet sit for friends and family including a very anxious little dog who has actually been prescribed anti-anxiety pills and a very energetic Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I also regularly cat sit a very loving cat called George who has very special dietry requirements. I was raised with both a cat and a dog growing up and everyone in my family has always had pets so I have never not been around them. I am currently working part time so I have 4 free days a week including weekends which I can choose and change for your convenience :) I live in Hackney, super close to lots of outside spaces like Hackney Downs and London Fields. You dog will be safe with me and I am sure we will have a lot of fun together! Please do not hesitate to message me your questions :)

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, they've always been a part of our family. From a young age I looked after the family dogs - feeding them, walking them, bathing them, clearing up after them, and (the best part) playing with them. When I moved away for uni, I ended up doing dog walking for one of my professors while I still had a relatively flexible timetable. Since moving to London I've been regularly dog sitting and walking for friends and new contacts as often as possible. I've never had any formal training, but have looked after small and mid-sized dogs in the past. I currently work full time (9am-5pm) but have relatively flexible working hours, especially when working from home. I have no regular commitments during evenings and weekends, so would be very happy to work around your schedule! My current flat is quite small, which is why I don't have a dog of my own at the moment; however, there's plenty of room for a short-stay and a dog park right across the road, as well as many other parks nearby (5-minute distance from Hackney Downs and London Fields). Any dogs I'm looking after will have a comfy space for themselves, and will get plenty of exercise at the park. I'd check-in with you about dietary requirements, routines, and behavioural considerations before agreeing to dog-sit, just to make sure I can properly meet the needs of your dog. In terms of dog walking and taking care of pets in their owners' home, I would want to first talk with you and see what your preferences, rules, and care routine looks like as I know all pet owners have a different strategy that works for them.

About: I have always been bought up with pets in my childhood home, and have had my little darling Elsie for 3 years now. She is very relaxed with humans and other dogs, loves a snuggle (see photos) and playing with her ball every morning. I live close to Hackney Downs park and walk here every morning. I have a large sunny outdoor terrace for your pet to play on or sunbathe! I have recently been made redundant from my job as a fashion designer at Burberry, so I have high availability to provide services for your pet. Our large terrace is fully fenced off. I have a baby gate installed in the living room from when I was training Elsie, if I go out I usually lock her in the living room and she sleeps on the sofa or her bed. As she is a bedlington she doesn’t shed fur so this is ideal! She is also cage trained and often will take herself to her bed in the cage when she is tired or wants some privacy.

She has a positive and nurturing personality and would be an ideal pet caregiver.”
