“Julia was amazing with Meeko! I loved the photos and videos she shared throughout the day. Since she’s a fellow dog parent and living near so many parks was reassuring that he’ll be in very good hands. Also, I got delayed in picking him up in the evening, and Julia was very kind and gracious about it. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs from all kinds of backgrounds (profile pic is me and my late dog Rosie, who I rescued at 8 weeks old and had until she was 15 <3 ), and take care of friends' dogs on a regular basis. I have a lot of experience in making sure that dogs feel safe, comfortable and calm, while teaching them the basics, and making sure that they get lots of play time and plenty of attention. I make sure that guest dogs are engaged, enriched, and as active as they’d like to be (plenty of rest time for the oldies!), and that they get loads of fuss and attention when they want it. And I strongly believe that walk time is the dog's time, so there'll be lots of time for sniffing and exploring. I work for myself and mostly from home, and love to have a bit of canine company! My work’s very flexible, so I can easily fit in walks, feeds, play time and fuss time to suit the dog and its needs. I have a fenced terrace with lots of greenery which dogs enjoy to sniff around and to sunbathe on. I have a comfy dog bed, lots of blankets, and I live next to a number of dog friendly parks and walks.
“I've used Marilena a few times now for daycare and boarding, and her level of love and care for our elderly Border Collie is unmatched! I stand by everything I've said in my previous review 200%. There's a part of me that doesn't want to write this follow-up review because I want to keep her all to myself (I know, I know, everyone says this about their favorite sitter), but that wouldn't be fair at all. Rest assured knowing your dog will be taken care of with the utmost love and care with Marilena!”

“She was absolutely amazing. From the very start, she was punctual, incredibly communicative, and kept me consistently updated, which made the whole experience completely stress free. Mango is truly like my child, so trusting someone with him is not something I take lightly, but she made me feel completely at ease. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring.”

“Ifigeneia was so kind and caring - took Rufus on a massive walk even though the weather was rubbish. Will 100% be asking her to look after Ruf again. What a lovely person and brilliant dog sitter. Kept me updated all day!”

“Bianca took excellent care of our dog Cosmo, she sent plenty of updates, walked him to the park which is very nearby and communication was very easy! I will gladly leave our dog in Bianca’s care again.”

About: Hey, I’m Usha – the human behind UshWalks! I’ve been dog walking and sitting since I was old enough to hold a leash 🐕, and over the years I’ve become the go-to dog buddy for friends & family 🏡❤️. Whether it’s a one-off walk or regular care, your pup will get all the love, attention, and zoomies they deserve! 🦴✨ I have a bit of time for furry adventures — be it an early morning trot, a lunchtime stroll, or a before-bed wander. I’m on hand to pick up your pup in the London N1 / N7 areas. Happy to dog-sit at your place or mine (as long as your four-legged friend is house-trained and ready for a doggy sleepover!). Let’s give your pup some tail-wagging fun! 🐾 My place is a roomy flat — sadly no garden for zoomies, so your pup will need to be house-trained. If I’m looking after your dog at your home, rest assured: I’m respectful, clean, tidy, and super easy to have around. Your home (and your four-legged boss) will be in excellent hands. Basically, I’ll treat your place like a little palace and your pup like royalty! 🐶👑

“Milena looked after our 4 month old whippet for 4 days and she was absolutely amazing! Super accommodating, friendly and caring.

About: We’re a dog-loving couple with lifelong experience caring for dogs. We both grew up with dogs, regularly dog sit for family, and one of us is always home during the day. I also volunteered for 3 years at a local dog sanctuary, helping with dog walking, daily care, and supporting dogs who were ill or needed extra attention. Your dog will be cared for in a calm, safe, and loving home. My partner and I work in a way that means one of us is always working from home, so dogs are never left alone during the day. This allows us to easily fit in walks, feeding, playtime, and company. We’re just a 5-minute walk from Highbury Fields, perfect for regular dog walks. We live in a secure flat with a private terrace and a calm, dog-friendly setup. We regularly dog sit and are used to creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. If needed, we also have an extra bedroom where dogs can sleep or relax quietly.

About: Having grown up with my little terrier Waffles, I now enjoy the company of my beloved little Rosie. Although I don’t live with her anymore since moving to London, she remains the absolute light of my life. Raising her has given me the patience, understanding and love required to care for all dogs. From crate training, to walking, to teaching skills she has brought out the teacher and carer in me that I didn’t know I had until we brought her home. I work from home every day. My job is very flexible so I can always step away from my desk when needed and my desk is right next to my bed - a perfect spot for your pooch to sleep and relax while I work hard to give them the temporary home they deserve! We have a huge garden with easy access so your pooch can roam to their hearts content.

We have a fenced garden, a large indoor space and a treat cupboard especially for our furry friends! Located on a nice quiet road, you can be sure your pooch will have the time of their life.

I had a great experience with Flora watching my 9-week-old puppy today. She responded very quickly from the beginning, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free!! She also sent frequent updates with photos, which really reassured me and helped me feel at ease. On top of that, she was very flexible and accommodated the exact time I requested. I truly appreciated her reliability and care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!

Maria has looked after Teddy for the past month and she has been absolutely brilliant. She’s incredibly responsive and always keeps us updated with daily messages and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares. Teddy is always so happy to go and see her, and just as happy when we pick him up – which says everything! We couldn’t recommend Maria more highly and feel so lucky to have found her.

Josephine was fab with my miniature poodle. She was very thorough with following the instructions given, very caring, patient and attentive to what He needed. She was consistent and clear with communication and updates, which made me feel at ease. Israel looked so happy, content and slept away when arrived back home. I would 100% recommend and looking forward to booking with her again soon! Thank you 😊🐾

Indigo & Ben are amazing!! They have been giving my tiny yorkie Gigi daycare and I feel totally safe leaving her with them and I know she is getting lots of attention - she was SO happy to see them the second time. Get lots of updates which is great and photos too. Highly recommend!!

Melania was lovely and took great care of my dog for a few hours. Communication was clear and reassuring, and my dog was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Loved getting pictures of him getting cuddles and looking so happy. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Melania and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you so much 🙏
