“Jack had a great time with Ruby on his evening and night time walk, and Ruby was happy to get acquainted with Jack ahead of the walks. Quick responses and good communication in general. Thank you!”


“Amazing! Alan is a very experienced dog walker, always punctual, updates any changes promptly, kind and caring. Eddie is enjoying her walks with him. He is careful about the dogs he walks together, never more than 3 at the same time which is very sensible.”


“Biddy has been twice now with Daniele and has come back both times very happy and tired! She’s a high energy pup so am very pleased she’s getting the run around she needs. Daniele is very communicative and lovely! Highly recommend!”


“Noura was great! Arrived on time and took Neo for a nice big walk; he's fast asleep already.. he did a little whine when saying goodbye which means he definitely had a fun time”


“Loic is back in town and I re-booked him without hesitation; he was absolutely amazing with my dog last year, and I couldn't wait to have them walk together again. Loic is always on time, friendly, and takes my pup for incredible walks. Nothing but 5 stars!”

“Julia was so lovely with our puppy Archie! She was very communicative with loads of sweet pictures, and updates with how he was doing throughout the day. She also brought a bottle of cold water for him on her walk, to ensure he was hydrated on a very hot day. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the neighbourhood.”


About: I love animals, and have taken care of pets for my whole life as I grew up with dogs and cats. I often dog and cat sit for friends and family so am used to a variety of ages, breeds and needs. I am also experienced with rescue animals and can handle some difficult behaviours, for example dogs who are unable to socialise with other pets on walks etc. Since moving to London, I miss my family pets so would love to meet and care for animals in my new area! I currently work part time and fully remotely, so I have lots of time both during and outside my working hours to look after your pets. I am caring and attentive and work hard to make sure all pets in my care are safe and treated well, as well as building relationships with them and making sure they're getting attention and exercise. I am at home every day whether working or not, so am flexible to have pets in my flat or yours, or go out for visits or walks. On my working days, my job is relaxed so I can go on multiple walks per day and any pets in my care will have my full attention. I live in a safe area with a walled balcony space or a private car park for toilet breaks, but am also close to lots of lovely big parks including Highbury Fields so it's the perfect spot for either walking or looking after and playing with pets at home. I'm currently working part time, so have lots of spare time to offer! I can look after your pets on weekdays or weekends, plus I work from home so can pop out for walks etc - whatever works best for you. I live in a beautiful, spacious flat in Islington near lots of green spaces. I don't have my own dog or cat so the space will be all for your pet.

About: I’m an experienced dog sitter, having looked after dogs of all ages over the past decade. I currently live in a large flat with a garden, that is less than 10mins walk from several local parks. Please get in touch if you would like to make a booking or if you have any questions. I’m currently not working so I will always be around to walk, play, and relax with your doggy! I’m able to completely cater to your dog’s schedule. I live in a large basement & ground floor flat with a safe, enclosed garden so your dog will be able to go outside whenever they need to between walks. I have a room providing a dedicated, comfortable space for the dogs I look after to relax and play in. Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements and I will do my best to cater to them.

About: I have hands-on experience in veterinary clinics and animal husbandry roles. My background includes working at pet shelters, where I walked dogs, cared for cats, and fostered neonatal kittens. I’ve assisted in veterinary clinics by handling sick and injured animals, administering medications, and supporting routine treatments. Additionally, I participated in a green sea turtle conservation project, expanding my care experience to include wildlife. Growing up with dogs and cats has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and needs, and I remain passionate about providing compassionate, high-quality care to all animals. I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm happy to come by to walk your pets, feed them, or spend time with them. I plan ahead to ensure I can provide consistent and dependable care, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. During house visits, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow the pet owner's instructions closely—whether it's feeding, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or spending time with the pets for companionship and enrichment. Having indoor cats myself, I’m especially careful about keeping doors and windows secure to prevent escapes. I understand how important routine and safety are, and I always treat each home and pet with the same care and respect I give my own.
