Top-rated Islington dog walkers
“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!”
“Annie- Marie has been coming for several weeks now and is fab. Shes reliable, on time and has formed a great friendship with Lola who is always delighted to see her. Thankyou Annie-Marie”
“Julia was amazing - incredibly communicative and competent. I gave her lots of instructions as Daphne can be nervous to handle and she followed them all down to the letter. Daphne was very happy when we arrived back even though this was the first time she had a walker come in to the house when she’d been alone. She can get spooked in these situations but Julia had obviously made her feel comfortable and at ease. Would highly recommend and would use her again!”
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.
“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”
About: I've taken care of dogs for neighbours, clients and friends for years. Though I don't have a dog of my own, I've always sought out dogs to walk and look after until I can get my own one day (which I can't wait for!). I have plenty of experience walking, sitting and feeding dogs, and spend most of my spare time watching dog rescue, grooming and training videos on social media! I work in the office 3 days a week but I can work from home on Tuesdays/Wednesdays and Fridays with plenty of time to sit / walk dogs. I'm open to working on weekends as well as over longer periods - feel free to enquire about my availability. I live in a pet-friendly flat with a fully fenced small patio, so I'd ideally be looking after small-medium pets within the house given the space available!
About: With years of hands-on experience at both ends of the energy spectrum, I am well-equipped to provide expert care for your dog. My own Parson Russell Terrier is a high-energy breed, so I'm very accustomed to long, active walks. At the same time, I have a deep love and patience for older dogs. I cared for my own Labrador right through to his golden years and currently look after a sweet mother-and-son duo of senior Westies. This, combined with many years caring for an elderly Jack Russell (who still thinks he's a teenager), has given me extensive experience providing gentle, attentive support to senior dogs. Due to a recent redundancy, my schedule is completely open, and I'm dedicating my time to what I love most: caring for dogs (and home improvements). This means I have exceptional flexibility for walks & drop-in visits,. I'm an early riser, so pre-work check-ins are never a problem. I cycle everywhere, so you can count on me to be prompt and reliable for every visit, ready to give your dog the dedicated, one-on-one attention they deserve. My Service Guarantee: To ensure your dog receives the highest quality of care, I only walk one dog at a time. This means they get my undivided attention, and our walks can be true adventures, tailored to their pace and your preferences. I'm comfortable with all sizes, from small dogs with big egos to larger, gentle giants.
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’ve been helping to take care of dogs my whole life- when friends are out of town they stay at mine, I help with dog walks, and now in London I’ve been staying over at pet owners houses when they leave for vacation. I get so much joy from being with dogs, and will show them all the love they deserve! I’m only in office 2 days a week, which is why I’m able to take care of your dog pretty much whenever! I absolutely love going on dog walks :) I’m super respectful of your space, would always keep things tidy in your home. Also love getting outside and even more fun with a dog

Josephine R.
“Josie, until recently, has been my neighbour for 3 years. During that time she took my toy Golden Doodle Bertie for 3 days a week whilst I was at work. Bertie loved his time with Josie, she is very gentle and kind with him, would take him on minimum one walk a day and I know he got his fair share of treats! We are gutted to have moved away, but we are glad someone else’s dog can experience the love and care of Josie! Couldn’t recommend more!”

“Natasha is a super reliable and lovely dog walker who has been great with my dog Olly. She’s really flexible and communicative, I would recommend her to anyone!”
Anais R.
“Thanks for a lovely walkie, Emmy is really happy and can’t wait for the next time!”
Simon J.
“I have one major complaint about Simon: my dog, Sancho, might love him more than me now. Whenever Simon comes to the door, Sancho's tail wags harder than for anyone else. He is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and his love for dogs is obvious from the moment you meet him. I get wonderful photo updates of their adventures, and Sancho always comes back happy and perfectly tired out. I couldn't recommend him more highly – just be prepared for your dog to find a new favourite person!”
Jacqueline B.
“Jackie has taken wonderful care of my dog Buttons on numerous occasions over the last couple of years. She’s a considerate and responsible dog sitter who sends regular updates. I can’t recommend Jackie enough!”
Stefanie B.
“Stefanie is a loving pet carer. She was very communicative and clean, sent me lots of pictures and did allllllll the walkies!!! She is very sweet and I look forward to having her in my home again! I recommend Stefanie!”
