“Jimena was so sweet and communicative. She has a lovely presence and I immediately trusted her with the house and with my cat. She sent great updates and even trained my cat to use the cat flap! 5* will definitely book again.”


About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs through looking after my own Whippet Collie cross, Basil, as well as regularly caring for my girlfriend's Whippet Malinois, Obi. Obi often stays at my house when he needs looking after, so I'm comfortable managing dogs in a home environment and maintaining their usual routines. Through caring for both dogs, I have experience with different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. Obi weighs over 25 kg and is a strong, lazy but active dog who requires plenty of engagement, while Basil is around 12 kg. This has given me confidence handling both smaller and larger dogs on walks and in everyday care. While I haven't professionally walked a large number of dogs, I have spent a lot of time around dogs and enjoy their company. I am reliable, patient, attentive to their needs, and committed to ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I'm currently on summer holiday from university meaning I have lots of time and no other commitments. I can give full attention and flexibility. The garden has a 6ft fence and I am close to multiple parks including Victoria Park, London Fields and Hackney Downs. I am able to show up almost any time of the day.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. I grew up in a dog-loving family, so caring for dogs has always felt second nature to me. I’ve personally owned dogs for over 18 years and have been fully responsible for their daily care, routines, and wellbeing. I currently have my dog Monty, who is at the center of my everyday life. Caring for him has reinforced how important patience, consistency, and calm energy are for helping dogs feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means extra reassurance, playtime, or a relaxed routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’m home full-time with my cockapoo, Monty, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, day care, boarding and house sitting, including daytime hours when many owners are at work. For walks and drop-ins, I follow each pet’s usual routine and always make sure doors, leads and harnesses are secure before heading out. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated after each visit. For day care, dogs are supervised around Monty and given plenty of space, rest and attention based on their comfort level. We live in a flat, but Hackney Downs is right on our doorstep for safe, regular walks and outdoor time.

About: My partner Lucy and I have had dogs ranging from collies to rescue mixes my entire life and cats for a few years too! I recently did a dog reactivity course with the Canine Behavioural College which has made understanding their cues and behaviour so much easier. I’m an aspiring dog trainer but for now we’re just hoping to give some pets a holiday home full of tummy tickles or even just an exciting day out in the park! I currently work part time and my partner works from home so we’d both have so much love and attention to give any pets we had around. We live in Hackney with lots of local parks and enjoy walking - we’d love to have a furry friend join us. We are homeowners so don’t have to worry about any landlord restrictions. We live on the second floor and don’t have a garden but love getting out and about in the parks near us and will accommodate for your dogs energy levels.
About: Hi! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, especially senior and shy pets. My English is basic (A1), so using translation apps is ideal for me to communicate perfectly.

I organize my weekly calendar by setting aside dedicated, uninterrupted blocks of time strictly for dog walking. Thanks to my wide availability from Monday to Saturday (6:00 AM to 8:00 PM), I seamlessly integrate walks into my routine, ensuring punctuality, consistency, and my full attention for each pet. Always on a leash: Your dog will remain safely under my control at all times.100% dedicated attention: Full focus on your pet, with absolutely no distractions.Safe and familiar routes: We stick exclusively to the safest local parks in the area (including Hackney Downs Park, London Fields, and Millfields Park).

About: I’m a 28-year-old animal lover who loves spending time with pets. I regularly walk and look after my cousin’s dog and cat, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’d love the chance to give your pet plenty of attention and exercise while you’re away! I’m currently working part time, so will have plenty of time to look after your pets. I love exercise and walking in the parks. I live in a fully secure two bedroom flat on the first floor, on a quiet street. I have lots of large sofas and cushions for your pet to stay on.
“Jessica was great with communication, Pom was really happy when they met and I came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. Would definitely ask Jessica to take care of Pom again.”

About: Hello… I’M BACK! :D Welcome to my profile. My name is Katherine and I’ve always loved the company of four legged furry friends. I’ve had dogs in my family since birth and I had my own dogs at 16 and 22 (I’m now 35 :)). My Yorkshire terrier left to doggie heaven a few years ago after keeping me company for almost 16 years and my little Chihuahua/Bichon Frise also joined her after amazing 12 years. Both my furry babies were spoiled darlings, so I can assure you that your furry baby will be in the best care. Due to my love to travel, whilst working from home and been a passionate dog lover, I've had the chance to look after numerous small/mid-sized dogs, with separation anxiety, dogs who need a lot of attention, puppies (incl. miniature puppies) and have play time with dogs who just want to chill. I also have experience with medication if it's needed. I provide constant care, such as regular walks and feeding times if they stay long hours. Please note I do tailor my walk to whoever I’m with, taking into consideration their breed, age and health, to ensure they are exercised accordingly. My goal is to ensure you furry baby is entertained, happy and comfortable when away from his parents and home. My experience is mainly with Yorkshires and Chihuahuas, but all small/mid size breeds are welcome :). I will be happy to share pictures and videos with you, so don’t be shy and do ask for more if you don’t feel what I send is enough. Trust me, I understand its not easy to leave our furry babies with others. :) I'm currently working part-time from home Mon-Fri, so easy to spend time with your pups. On weekends my availability is sometimes volatile, so best to reach out and we can make arrangements where possible. I live alone in a pet friendly one-bedroom flat in Dalston Junction. My flat is on the second floor of a small building (happy to carry dogs unable to take the stairs) with a living room where dogs can rest without access to the bathroom. If they’re comfortable, I’m very comfortable with them going on my bed and sofa :) . I often take dogs to my near by parks/green spaces as they are an enclosed and safe space. I’m happy to bring your dog on long walks and/or take them to the park and play with them. Building a trust relationship with pet owners is crucial for me, so I will follow any indications given by the book. Any questions, please just let me know!
“Having Deanne for kitty visits whilst we were away worked out great for both us and Smudge! We couldn’t have asked for much more than the service provided. Deanne sent us daily updates that we found ourselves excited for each day along with pictures to show us Smudge was doing good, eating and playing with her new friend :) Thank you Deanne for lessening any worries we had for our kitty girl whilst we were away, we’re so happy we have someone we can rely on in the future!”


“Ace took to Sarah instantly, and over the course of the week’s drop-in visits they became firm friends! Sarah took such good care of her during the heatwave and while Ace was having some medical issues. I’m so grateful to have her nearby!”

“Annie was excellent! Her check ins were great and communication was fab. She was always nice, professional, and friendly, and was also kind enough to help us out on short notice. We returned home to a happy and healthy cat. Would definitely recommend 😊”

About: I grew up with my Labrador, with whom I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this incredible world of pets.🥰 From a very young age, I was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with him every day. Over the years, l've had the good fortune of caring for some of my friends' and family's pets for periods of time. I adapt to each pet's needs, whether it's a quiet walk, active play, or special care. For me, every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Their well-being is my priority. In the near future, I'd love to have my own dog, but until then, I'm happy to care for you as if it were my own. I spend most of the day at home, as does my partner, who works remotely. This makes it easier for both of us to go for walks every so often, since we have three incredible parks nearby where we can play and walk for long or short periods of time, depending on what is needed. I live in a fifth-floor apartment with an elevator. It has two bedrooms and a large living room with a secure balcony for your pets. My building is within a gated residential area with a private garden. Pets are allowed on the sofa and in the bed, if you allow them at home. If not, I would appreciate knowing. They will be thoroughly looked after and played with, however long they stay. If there is anything in particular you feel I should know, just let me know. I am happy to cater to any needs! Don't hesitate to contact me. We love having dogs at home and will give them all the love and attention they deserve 🥰✨

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful with my older cat while i was away. She was reliable, friendly, sent photos often and even saved some of my plants during the heat wave. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you!”
About: Calendar open, taking bookings now after a few months break Hi there! I'm Alex, and I bring a unique blend of experience and passion to every walk, sit, and grooming session.

Having taken care of dogs throughout my life, I know how to cater to their individual needs, whether it’s a playful pup or a more timid companion. My approach combines professional expertise with genuine love for animals, creating a fun and stress-free environment for your furry friends. I offer personalized services that cater to your pet's unique personality and preferences, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Let’s embark on this journey together, keeping tails wagging and pups happy! 🐾✨ Wide pet care services, walks, sitting, baths, I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, all breeds and ages 👌 Currently working from the salon only part time two days per week as taking a bit of a break for July. Available on days that are shown in the calendar I live in Hackney, very close to various parks and green areas. As an active person and a runner I’ll provide lots of activity. My apartment is dog friendly and safe.
“Lucia was very good with our two cats. We have specific requests for the time they must eat and she did everything well as requested by us. Communication was perfect, Lucia answers very quickly. The apt was very tidy when we came back, as if we hadn’t left. Our two maine coons were treated very well. I highly recommend Lucia.”

Lyn answered my cry for help at very short notice. My very shy elderly cat had had an emergency heart procedure and needed a number of pills every morning for a week and I needed another pair of hands as he really wasn't a willing patient! Lyn was fabulous, super calm (for both me and him) and gave him the pills so calmly and without fuss. I can't thank her enough. Definitely a cat whisperer. Thank you Lyn - you're much appreciated.

Couldn't recommend Natalie enough! She looked after my 2 cats for 10days. I was very worried to leave them alone for that long but the daily updates and pictures calmed my nerves very quickly and it was probably the first holiday I didn't spend worrying about them constantly. I have a very shy cat who will hide and not eat for days before showing her face and Natalie still sent pictures of her as proof of life 😅 while respectingy my cat's boundaries and not stressing her out more. The cat eventually came out and asked for belly rubs! I will definitely ask her to look after them again.

Palma was wonderful with my sweet Aelin! She was super communicative from the start and took such great care of my kitten whilst I was away for the first time. Palma sent plenty of updates and I could tell Aelin was well looked after. She was also super respectful of my flat and even tidied up my cat’s litter and food areas after her last drop in. Highly recommend and will book Palma again!

Caitlyn was amazing! She took great care of my boys for 2 weeks and they absolutely loved her. Even Jiji, who normally hides from strangers, came out of hiding after just 4 days and trusted her completely. I was really feeling like I left them in capable hands and didn’t have to worry too much. She sent updates every day and went above and beyond by taking in parcels and putting the bins out, and the flat was clean and tidy when we came back. We will definitely be booking her again!
