“Rachel has been going on walks with Mila for a couple weeks now and she has been great. She’s super reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and Mila is always a happy dog after a walk with Rachel. Can highly recommend her!”

“Noura is awesome! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me while I am on bed rest. I booked Noura to walk my energetic Cavalier and my dog is SO excited every time Noura comes to the door! The walks are always on time and my dog comes home happy and tired. Noura’s communication is also fantastic—whether it's updates, photos, or just a quick note to let us know she’s heading over. Noura is highly reliable, friendly, and genuinely caring—if you're looking for a dog walker or sitter, look no further!”


“I highly recommend Lauren to look after your pet. She was punctual, kind, friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and listened carefully to our description of Sparrow's requirements. The weather was scorching hot and Lauren adjusted Sparrow's walks accordingly, and made sure to take her for a cooling dip in the pond. We would definitely use Lauren again, thank you!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have about 5 years of real hands-on experience. I currently have two dogs of my own, a French Bulldog and a Toy Poodle, so I’m used to different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, basic training, bathing and giving lots of attention. I always try to understand each dog’s routine and energy level so they feel safe, relaxed and happy while they’re with me. I’m a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I organize my days around classes, but I always make time for the pets I take care of. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins and sitting, and I can adjust depending on your dog’s routine. I love spending time with animals, so your pet will never feel rushed or ignored while staying with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent and make sure pets are never left unattended. I pay attention to feeding times, walks and playtime, and I give lots of affection so they feel at home. If needed, I can separate dogs, keep environments calm and make sure every pet feels secure, loved and well cared for.
“Cerys has been great in looking after Rudy! She is reliable, caring, well mannered, efficient, prompt and all in all a blessing! She even learnt a few Greek words that Rudy responds to better than English! Would strongly recommend her!!!”

“Libby was a joy to coordinate with for dog-walking! She was on time and highly communicative, and was patient when Caid had moments of reluctance in leaving the house. He came back nice and tired out from a good walk, and it seems like they developed a great bond. I highly recommend Libby's services :)”


“Eleanor was great! On time, attentive, reliable. Eleanor really listens to your preferences about pet care. Felt really happy to know my dog was being well cared for safe when she was taken out:) thankyou!”

About: Ive had dogs all my life and have always helped family and friends with watching their pets when theyre on vacation. I live in kings x with access to multiple parks and a short walk to enclosed dog parks so your furry companion will always have loads of fun adventures. I work from home and set my own hours so i can tailor my schedule around your dogs current walk/ food times so there should be no interruption in their routine I have my own dog so my flat is set up with a bathroom area and everything has been put out of reach. Dogs are allowed on all the furniture and i have a park less than a 1 minute walk away so i usually take them for their bathroom breaks there.
“This was our second booking with James. My flatmate heard him ask Dot, “Where do you want to go today?” after they left the flat. She adores him. Great communication and always punctual.”

“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: Hi! I’m a true dog lover with years of experience caring for them. I currently have a 4-year-old rescue dog, and I’ve had dogs all my life, so I understand how important it is to give them love, patience, and proper care. I really enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and being in nature, so I’d be more than happy to share that time with your dog. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and personality. I understand that every dog is different. For example, my own dog isn’t very social with others, so I’m used to planning walks in quieter areas. At the same time, if your dog is sociable and enjoys playing with others, I’d love to take them to more lively spots where they can interact and have fun. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, just like at home! I’m currently completing a Master of Public Administration (MPA). I’ve already finished my classes and I’m now working on my final project, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility with my schedule. I live in a ground-floor apartment with a small garden, and there’s plenty of space inside the flat for dogs to move around. I also have a very calm dog named Mika, who has helped us train other dogs before

I am very glad and happy that Tiffany is taking such good care of April and Benji. They are happy and tired after a nice walk and full on play time - Benji and April just loving life which is evidently on the pictures and updates I get sent every time. Thank you Tiffany!

Rachel has been AMAZING. Not only is she great at communication, but also her thoughtfulness has been so much appreciated. She wrote on a day she wasn’t working to check on my elderly dog who had an issue. She’s punctual, responsible, and kind. I recommend her wholeheartedly! She has been a blessing.

Melis and Hamza took great care of Arya, and she has already become Arya's favourite person by far! We can tell how much fun Arya must have had as Arya goes crazy around Melis. Melis is also very experienced which is very important to us as Arya can get anxious meeting other dogs. It is a real blessing to have found Melis and Hamza, and be able to entrust Arya with them :) Thank you so much!

Harriet is reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in safe hands. She was attentive to my dog’s needs (during heatwave offered to buy ice to add to his water !HOW KIND!) and clearly experienced with handling dogs. I appreciated the regular updates and the genuine care shown during every walk. My dog was always happy and excited to see her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your dog, I would definitely recommend Harriet!

I highly recommend Lauren to look after your pet. She was punctual, kind, friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and listened carefully to our description of Sparrow's requirements. The weather was scorching hot and Lauren adjusted Sparrow's walks accordingly, and made sure to take her for a cooling dip in the pond. We would definitely use Lauren again, thank you!
