“Where to even start with this incredible human. Dolo was so thorough and engaged with Nigel during her stay. She went above and beyond making sure he had plenty of exercise, and that he was also stimulating his brain. She knows just the right amount of communication dog owners want, providing a mixture of pictures and videos. Nigel was SO well looked after. Dolo left my flat absolutely immaculate. It was cleaner than when I left, and she washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed (which was so unexpected). I came home from a trip and had to do nothing. She not only went above and beyond for my puppy, but for me as well. The most kind and considerate human. 🩷❤️”


“Kristine was a fantastic sitter for our energetic dog Clemmie. She was punctual and cared for Clemmies needs and kept in contact throughout the day with some lovely photos. I would recommend Kristine to anyone looking for a reliable caring dog sitter.”


About: Hi my name is Tania :) I grew up with dogs and have been a dog owner since I can remember myself. I enjoy playing, training or cuddling with them. I'm attentive to their needs and will make sure to find the right activity for them. For the last three years I've been actively engaged with different organisations, saving sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. I have experience handling a wide variety of animals from the smallest bird to wild seals. I feel confident in my abilities to handle and care for your pet :) I'm currently very flexible and free on workdays from early mornings until late afternoons to take care and have the best time with your pup. I'll make sure to fallow your instructions and requirements as closely as possible and adjust myself to your dogs' needs. I'll provide a safe and calm environment for your pup.

“Im delighted with Simon service. Such a lovely man, looked after my Furry Angels to the max. I will definitely use him again. He fitted in perfectly, eager to help, patient and a good heart. Great sense of humour too. My pets loved him/ We Love him!”


“Eimear was an amazing rover and she went above and beyond while watching our dog for the weekend. She sent lots of photos and updates, took him on some lovely walks and even helped me by watering some of my plants! When we came home we had a happy dog and a perfectly clean apartment! We would recommend Eimear to anyone and hope to book her again!”


“Meriam did a wonderful job looking after my dog! My dog, a rescue, has a lot of anxiety and can get overwhelmed quite easily. However, Meriam approached her with calmness and care, and I came home to a dog who was happy, healthy, and well looked after. It's not easy to have a dog on your own, but when there are great people you can trust, it is the most reassuring thing. I look forward to working with Meriam again!”


“Enya came over to look after snoop for a couple of hours and was great. Really good communication and updates. Snoop had a good time and was full of beans when I got back. Will recommend”


“If it were possible to give more than 5 stars, I would! Guadalupe is a kind, smart, capable sitter who went absolutely above and beyond. She was fantastic with my dog, including knowing what to do when she had an upset stomach, and is clearly very intuitive and knowledgable when it comes to looking after pets. Her communication was brilliant, and I got lots of updates with what they were up to (but not too many!) She also left the flat in immaculate condition, including making up the bed for my return and doing the laundry (bedding and towels). And she made an outstandingly delicious quiche for me to have when I got back!”


“Zsofia was fantastic with my young puppy who cana be very excitable. She was incredibly polite, punctual and thoughtful by sending pictures of my puo throughout the day. She clearly Is a natural with dogs. Thanks zsofia”


About: I’m a huge animal lover and especially adore being around dogs! I’ve been trusted by family and friends to care for their pets over the years, and I’ve always formed quick, genuine bonds with the dogs I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after is what I love most. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some good company, I’m here to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I currently work as a remote contractor, so I'm often home during the week as well as weekends. I'm also happy to do walks or drop-in visits outside of work hours when I’m around. I live in a two-bedroom flat with my partner in a fairly quiet neighbourhood, so walks to the local park are nice and easy. We’ve also got a small fenced backyard for a bit of outdoor time at home. There’s ample space inside too, so if your pet uses a crate, we’re happy to accommodate that.

“Clara looked after Molly with relatively short notice and provided excellent care for our puppy. Communication was great from start to finish. We've already rebooked Clara for another day. Highly recommended.”


About: Hey there! My name is Giorgos, and I absolutely love taking care of pets. Back home, I had two Cocker Spaniels—Maya and Robin. Sadly, Maya passed away recently, but Robin is still going strong, and I try to stay connected with him (check out the first photo 😂). Being around dogs and cats genuinely makes me happy. I've always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends, and I treat every pet like family. I live close to a park, so there's plenty of room for walks, playtime, and all the potty breaks your pet needs 💩. I'm home most of the time, which means I’m usually available to giving your furry friend the best care and attention. I’m really looking forward to meeting your pet and giving them all the love and cuddles they deserve 😊 Thank you! I'm currently looking for a part-time jobs, so I am mostly available for pet care. I wake up early in the morning and my schedule is pretty flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with no hazards, and I always follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for.

“Marina looked after our puppy Piccolo for 7 days. She sent lots of photos and it seemed like they had a great time together. She kept our house super clean, would definitely recommend!”
