1. Shelby R.

“Shelby is becoming our go to person for my working weekends! And we’re so thankful to have her!! This weekend, Alfonse was sick to his stomach, to the point that yesterday we needed to fast him and start considering the vet. Shelby didn’t even blink when I asked her to stay for an hour each visit (with no notice). She walked him around long enough for him to do his business, and then stayed at my place long enough that Alfonse even fell asleep. I came home to a happy dog who could *finally eat again and slept through the night and no vet needed, HOORAY!* And I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without Shelby. She’s just amazing. Thank you so much Shelby! You’ve got devoted fans in us (and Alfonse will see you again next weekend!)”


2. Katherine Andrea P.
“I can't thank Katherine enough. She took amazing care of my darling Alfredo. Any chance she got she would take him on new adventures I know he loved. When he was diagnosed with cancer, she took the time to learn about his medication and extra care he needed. With so much love she always made him feel comfortable and happy. The sweetest sitter.”


3. Oliver N.

“Oliver was a life saver popping in for a visit when I had to go out for the afternoon. Winston loves seeing Oliver and he’s so good with my boy as well as keeping me updated. Thank you!”


4. Nikki M.
“Nikki took very good care of our cocker spaniel Monty, he loved her company and got comfortable with to her right away, she was so gentle but playful with him. We were certain that he was left in good hands and were provided with daily updates on his state. Our dog was provided with plenty of walks, good entertainment and a lot of affection. We could also trust Nikki to stay in our house and she left the place clean and in a good state ! We will definitely use Nikki's help again and we recommend her!”


5. Francesca F.
“Francesca took care Pepe when I had to fly abroad for a week. I would recommend her services as a dog sitter. I have used Francesca’s services twice this year and never been had any disappointments :). Thank you!”


6. Alexandra M.
About: Growing up I had two gorgeous bearded collies, which I would walk, clean and feed regularly. I’ve previously had experience as a dog walker for other families too. I’m a part time paediatric emergency nurse. Which means I have random weekdays/weekends free, making it possible to look after any dog that may need I live in an apartment in Dalston, which is safe and secure. It is also very close by to Victoria park for some beautiful walks! I live with my boyfriend, so your dog will get double the loving!


7. Dean J.
“Dean is a great dog walker and just a great dog person in general. He actually cares about the dogs and genuinely loves them. My mum has a rescue who was having issues with reactivity towards other dogs and biting walkers. We’ve had 2 other dog walkers and all have let our dog go (staffy cross). But Dean was not phased by that at all, and in fact said he does not give up on any dog regardless of their size, breed, past or current issues. He’s so caring and understanding of our dog, and might I add as caring as he is, he is also assertive and disciplined, which we observed on his consultation with Ike. Our dog comes back from his walks happy, calm and fulfilled. I can’t recommend Dean enough, a true gent!”


8. Alexia N.
“Alexia was brilliant and absolutely loved William. She was super easy to communicate with, and sent photos when requested - which I could see he had a wonderful time! I would definitely recommend and will continue to use her in the future!”


9. Lauren R.
“Lauren loves dogs and would like to have one of her own but recognises that her work schedule and busy life would make that a little difficult. She has looked after my dog and other family dogs many times. She is a responsible and mature person who likes to keep active and has fun walking and playing with dogs. She has a positive and nurturing personality and would be an ideal pet caregiver.”


10. Matilda H.
“Tilly has looked after my chocolate Labrador Bear on multiple occasions, and Bear always looks forward to a visit from Auntie Tilly with lots of play time, cuddles and treats! She’s great with Bear, and he’s always tuckered out after a fun day with her! Highly recommended dog sitter :)”




11. Kelly E.

“Kelly was super accommodating and was available on short notice. She stayed with my dog longer than needed and gave me piece of mind he was ok.”


12. Edward H.

“Edward was really good with Lula, I had no hesitation he was going to look after her really well. Super easy to communicate with and it was great to come home to really happy cat 😺”


13. Vanessa L.
“Vanessa is an ideal candidate for the care of your pets. She has a passion for animals and demonstrates exceptional reliability. With extensive experience, she approaches her responsibilities with professionalism and genuine care in all her endeavours.”


14. Hanna M.
“I am thrilled to wholeheartedly recommend Hanna as an exceptional pet caregiver. Hanna's commitment to responsible and loving pet care is truly remarkable. She has been entrusted with the care of my beloved French Bulldog, Lilo, on multiple occasions, and I have been consistently impressed with her dedication and expertise. Hanna's genuine love for animals shines through in her interactions with Lilo. She has a deep understanding of Lilo's needs, ensuring that she is well-fed, exercised, and given ample attention and affection. I have always felt at ease knowing that Lilo is in Hanna's capable hands, and I appreciate her diligence in following any special instructions or routines that Lilo requires. Hanna's responsible nature is evident in her punctuality and reliability. She goes above and beyond to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for Lilo, making certain that she is comfortable and content at all times. I have received regular updates and photos from Hanna during her time with Lilo, which have provided me with a sense of reassurance and connection even when I'm away. In conclusion, I enthusiastically recommend Hanna as a pet caregiver without any reservations. Her genuine passion for animals, coupled with her responsible and loving approach, makes her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions. Hanna's ability to form a strong bond with pets, like my Lilo, truly sets her apart. Your pet couldn't be in better hands.”

“Very sweet and energetic, detail orientated”


16. Rebecca W.
About: I worked at a dog kennel for many years during the holidays whilst at university. The job involved caring for up to 30 dogs at a time, from puppies to senior. I had to give medication, feed, play with, monitor and cuddle all the dogs. It was my dream job! I am therefore confident with all types and ages of dogs. I also grew up with 2 family dogs from the age of 10, and have been obsessed with them ever since. I have a full-time job where I work from home 2/3 days a week (on any days of my choosing). My working hours are flexible and I can work from anywhere, meaning I can plan my schedule around dog visits and walks! When caring for pets in the owner’s home I will make sure they are closely monitored, fed on time, let out at regular intervals, and given plenty of love and attention (if they want it!) I am a very reliable and trustworthy person, and my previous experience as a Kennel Assistant taught me a lot about how to care for different types of dogs with varying needs and requirements.


17. Giovana K.
“Giovana is incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive-someone I would trust completely with any pet. She's naturally nurturing and goes above and beyond to make sure animals feel safe, loved, and happy. Any pet in her care is in the best hands!”


18. Genna R.

“Our two kitties couldn’t have been in better hands, and I cannot recommend Genna enough. Extremely reliable & proactive, she was very caring with our cat who was unwell and really went the extra mile to make him feel better. She is skilled in giving cats their medicine, and made sure to adapt to their personality to give them the attention they need. She is also a great communicator, calm, reactive and positive - which is really appreciated.”
19. Aleksandra S.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Aleksandra as an exceptional pet sitter. She cared for my three cats with incredible kindness, patience, and attention to detail. Each cat was given individual care and affection, and I returned to find them happy, relaxed, and well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands.”


20. Lauren B.
“Lauren is an amazing pet owner as well as an amazing pet sitter or walker. She is fantastic with all pets and treats them as her own. She knows how to have structure, but to also give them all the love and kisses they deserve. Your pet would be lucky to be in Lauren’s hands.”
