“Insa is super lovely and looked after my two kitties with love and care. Sent me loads of photos and shared what was going on with them while I was away. Would welcome her back to care for them!”

“I can’t recommend Enya highly enough! They took incredible care of my cat while I was away, and I came home to a very happy, relaxed pet. Communication was excellent throughout—daily updates with photos and little notes about how things were going gave me such peace of mind. Enya was patient, gentle, and clearly knew how to build trust. It was clear from the start that she genuinely care about animals and she also took care of my indoor plants when I was away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so dependable, thoughtful, and kind. Will absolutely be booking again!”

About: Hi, I’m Louise, an experienced dog lover offering reliable, kind-hearted dog walking, in-home visits and boarding across East and North London. I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent the last 10 years regularly caring for dogs belonging to friends and family, from playful pups to gentle seniors. These experiences have taught me how to read dog behaviour, stay calm in all situations and treat every dog with care and respect. I work primarily from home and set my own hours, which means I’m very flexible and can fit around your schedule, whether you need a daily walker, occasional visits, or last-minute support. I’ve completed a certified pet first aid course, I’m fully insured through Pet Business Insurance, and I am DBS-checked for your peace of mind. After a cancer diagnosis in 2024, I wanted to spend my spare time in a more meaningful way. That’s why I donate 15 percent of my profits to Medical Detection Dogs, a charity training dogs to detect cancer and other serious illnesses. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love the idea of tiny doctor dogs. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog soon. I work primarily from home and set my own hours, so I have plenty of flexibility around your schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or occasional evening visits, I can usually adapt to what works best for you and your dog. I only take on a manageable number of clients so that each pet gets my full attention and care. When walking or visiting pets in their own home, I follow any instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in familiar surroundings. I take time to build trust and always approach animals gently and calmly. I’m also certified in pet first aid and fully insured, so you can have peace of mind. If your dog is staying with me, they’ll be in a calm, tidy flat with lift access, a large secure fenced balcony, and no other pets or distractions. I live very close to big parks and quiet green spaces, so there are lovely walking routes right outside my door. Safety is always my top priority, from using secure leads and harnesses to never leaving pets unsupervised outdoors.

“Brendan is brilliant. Our cat loves him. We were worried that she might be lonely while we were away, but Brendan took good care of her and sent us her video and photos. Five out of five stars. No Drama.”

“I had a great experience with Jo over a two-week period. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my cat’s well-being. Everything was in great shape when I returned, and my cat was happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the peace of mind and would definitely use her services again.”

About: Animal lover with an extra big love for dogs! I’ve always been around dogs of all sizes growing up in the country in Australia. My goodest boy Jack was a beautiful Kelpie x German Shepherd. In more recent years I have experience looking after friends dogs - chihuahua, cavooodle and golden doodle, dachshund, pug, cocker spaniel etc. Will always give pats to pups who want to say hello! I live with my partner (male) who loves dogs just as much as me! I work full time but with flexible working arrangements so plenty of time to play with and walk your pup. I’m available for boarding on request and/or dog walks during the day/evening. I live in a secure flat - unfortunately there is no elevator so may not be suitable for with mobility issues if they aren’t happy being carried. Able to take them out multiple times a day for walks, fresh air, toilet, ball chasing etc. as needed. Child-free and smoke/vape-free home.

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.

“Joe has been a great companion to Luna. Getting her muzzle on and walking her with no problems. Joe has been quick and responsive with messages and friendly. I highly recommend him.”

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

“Joy-Alice met our lovely Springador Puppy, Kabali and agreed for a weekly drop-in visit. Joy is a great person to work with, our puppy loves her so much, and keeps playing. The drop-in visit went super good. Our puppy is only four months old and we were worried about leaving him alone. Joy took care of it all and did over and beyond. Joy came to our place on time, played with the puppy, took him for a wee, fed him, and make him feel warm. She spent more time with our pup to make him feel relaxed and cozy as she left. Our puppy was in a great mood when we returned home, and it is all because of Joy. We totally trust our place with Joy, as she took care of our place like hers. We will continue to use the service of Joy. Highly recommended.”

“Emily is great! She walked Zelda and gave her water before putting her in her kennel. She also made time even though I contacted Rover at the last minute!!”

About: Hi there! I'm Alex, and I bring a unique blend of experience and passion to every walk, sit, and grooming session.

About: I have loved animals all my life, no matter how big or small. My first pet, Nelo the cat, came into my life when I was just nine years old. Caring for him taught me responsibility at a young age and what it truly means to look after another being. But most of all, Nelo showed me that love is proven through actions, not words—a lesson I carry into every pet I care for today. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and recently looked after a miniature Pinscher named Rocky for a week. I truly enjoyed spending time with him—he even inspired me to realise that walks are much more enjoyable with a furry companion and how much I do enjoy looking after dogs. I also love playing with my dad’s Labrador whenever I visit his home. Beyond my deep love for animals, I have hands-on experience administering medication by mixing crushed tablets into food, and I’m happy to offer baths if dog shampoo is provided. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Clear communication is a top priority, so you’ll always have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. I’m more than happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs! Pet care fits well into my routine, even while I’m in education. I finish most days at 1 PM, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to a pet’s needs. Plus, my mum starts work early and finishes early, so there’s always someone at home, ensuring the dog is never left alone for long. I naturally incorporate walks, playtime, and any necessary care into my day and am flexible in adjusting to a pet’s specific routine. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if needed, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I also keep the home tidy and respect any specific instructions given. If caring for a pet in my own home, they will always be in my company, ensuring they feel safe and never alone. I have a secure garden, allowing for frequent potty breaks and outdoor play whenever needed. Since I finish most days early and someone is always home, pets receive constant care, regular walks, and plenty of love and attention to make them feel completely at ease.
