1. Nika S.

“Chaand is every dog sitters dream! Not only did Biscuit love her, she put all my fears to bed, with loads of communication and photos and videos, she did an amazing time looking after my pup! Biscuit has a new best friend for life.”

5. Wai Shuen C.
“Wai looked after my dog Winnie and the care she showed was phenomenal. Wai understood the needs of Winnie and she even went out of her way to buy him treats. Winnie took a liking to Wai straight away, normally she would bark at new faces but with Wai she felt so comfortable.”


6. Pamela W.
“Pamela has been an animal lover since I remember. When she was a child she would have numerous pets from hamsters to chinchillas to dogs. She would always ensure to do extensive research to enable her to take proper care of her animals. She also liked to share this knowledge with others sharing interesting facts about particular pets. For example, she is an advocate for educating people about rabbit care, emphasising the importance of free-roaming and correct diet which is sometimes not very obvious as there is a lot of false perception that rabbits only eat carrots and salad. I would highly recommend her.”


7. Hemangi D.
“Hemangi was an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of my dog and made sure all their needs were met. She was responsive, punctual, and very accommodating with my schedule. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”


8. Radhika D.
“Rhadika has been taking care of Sofi my miniature schnauzer for over three years. She’s caring and responsible, and has developed a special bond with both Sofi and me. Rhadika is very reliable, and offers safe, on-the lead walks and lots of cuddles to Sofi. I am very grateful for her support. Thank you Rhadika!”


9. Jacob H.
About: I have owned and cared for pets most of my adult life, different breeds, sizes and life stages, ranging from raising my own puppies to taking extra care of my senior dog who had severe arthritis in her hind legs in the latter stage of her life. Whether it's been my own pet or a friend's/family members, I have put love and care into ensuring the pets needs and happiness are met. I have adopted my own way of taking care of pets from walking them, hygiene care, training and even paying extra attention to nutrition, making sure the pet has a weighed up fresh meal for pets that I've owned but also ensuring your pets food requirements and preference are always met. Through my experience as a pet owner I have done my own extensive research on how to take care of pets better in a more natural way. If you would like to know more on my experience of petcare or have a general question please do not hesitate to ask. I am a care giver to a family member part-time who has health issues but does not need round the clock care, this gives me flexible hours to be able to provide good quality pet care on a weekly basis. Ensuring the safety of the pet and pet owners home by using my knowledge, instinct, awareness and pet owners requirements in a professional manner by really getting to know both the pet and pet owner. Also I am always up for meeting you and your pet on a no obligation basis before any arrangements/payment are made.

“Matthew is a wonderful trusting and loving guy. He truly cares when it comes to animals and looking after them. He's organised, punctual and someone that is always willing to listen and understand the other side when it comes to communication.”


11. Shivani M.

“Shivie has minded Cuan twice in our house and he absolutely adores her. Shivie is great - reliable, practical and really engaging with daily updates and pics. Couldn’t recommend more.”


12. Prim C.

“Prim was able to look after my 3 dogs at short notice when the previous person was unable to come due to an illness. She dealt with their issues very well and although there was another issue whilst house sitting, she dealt with it really well. I received lots of photos and updates and would recommend her. Would happily have her sit my dogs again.”


13. Deborah M.
About: As a dedicated pet lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine affection to every pet sitting assignment. Being a proud parent to my own dog and two cats who are truly members of my family, I understand the deep bond between pets and their owners. This personal connection helps me recognize what makes each animal special and how to provide them with the individualized care they deserve. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal's unique personality and needs – whether that's an energetic puppy requiring consistent training reinforcement, a senior pet needing medication management and gentle care, or an anxious pet seeking extra reassurance. Living with my own furry family has taught me to notice the subtle cues and preferences that make each pet feel loved and secure. I've developed specialized skills in positive reinforcement training techniques that help maintain your pet's good behaviors while you're away. For senior pets, I offer extra attentiveness to mobility issues, medication schedules, and comfort needs. My experience with my own pets has made me adept at recognizing subtle changes in behavior that might indicate health concerns. My goal is to provide your furry family members with the same level of attention and love they receive from you, maintaining their routines and happiness until you return home – just as I would want for my own beloved pets. I am available any time because I have completed my university work for this year. My parents also work from home so there is always someone around and we all love animals. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable environment whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours. When pet sitting in an owner's home, I respect your space and routines, following your detailed instructions to maintain consistency for your pets. I'm careful about security—always double-checking doors and windows, bringing in mail, and ensuring your home looks lived-in while you're away. For in-home visits, I provide detailed updates with photos so you can see your pets are happy and well-cared for. I'm attentive to maintaining your pets' normal schedules for feeding, medication, exercise, and play time, as I understand that consistency is key to reducing stress during your absence. In my own home, I've created a pet-friendly environment with secure fencing, removed potential hazards, and designated comfortable spaces for visiting pets. I keep guest pets separated from my own animals during initial introductions and supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I take emergency preparedness seriously, before any sitting arrangement, I'll request your vet's contact information and any specific health concerns or behavioral notes. Trust is the foundation of my pet care philosophy. I communicate clearly, arrive when promised, and treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your beloved pets are in capable, loving hands.


14. Martina M.
“Martina is great with pooches. I have a 12 year old chocolate lab who adores her. She is very attentive and looks after my dog with great care and joy.”


15. Christina M.

“Just amazing, Christina has took great care of Parson whilst we’ve been on holiday, really responsive, super supportive of Parson as it’s the first time when we’ve been away and he found it a little hard, but Christina took such brilliant care of him. If you’re ever needing a dog sitter who gives amazing care and let’s you feel calm that your pet is being looked after, then Christina is for sure the one to book! Hi”


16. Bobbi F.

18. Blaze M.

“Blaze looked after our Ralph amazingly and I couldn’t have felt more relaxed about his care. Ralph is nervous around new people and Blaze made him feel so comfortable and he even felt at ease enough to give her a cuddle on the sofa! She sent lots of photos which was lovely and took Ralph out on plenty of walks (we live in a flat). Ralph had a lovely day and I would definitely recommend Blaze and use her again! Thank you so much Blaze!”


19. Federica C.
About: My flat is ground floor and has a double entrance for extra safety. I have a cat but he’s very good with other pets. I live in Harrow. I work from home and I don’t go anywhere over Christmas. I live by myself and enjoy the company of pets, and I am a very responsible person. My cat has always eaten the best food and I believe in spoiling pets as much as possible. I also have dogs in my family home.




20. Jean G.
About: I love dogs and have done since I was little. I have owned two in the past but do not have one at the moment and I miss canine company. I love the honesty and loyalty of dogs and would welcome your furry pal as part of our family. Dogs seem to know I am friendly and are friendly back to me. Our home is the bottom half of a detached Edwardian house in a quiet road and has an enclosed back garden. We have plenty of room for dog company, with only three of us living here. About five minutes' walk away is Harrow Recreation Ground which is large and great for a good exercise session. There are also plenty of other parks and walks within easy driving distance. I'm mainly at home and work part-time around my pet-sitting commitments. My husband and daughter are also here a lot of the time, so there is always plenty of attention for the doggies! We have a fenced garden with a lawn and paved patio area. We are out the back a lot in the summer when the weather is nice.
