“Lauren looked after Benni yesterday and everything went super smoothly. She was easy to communicate with beforehand, punctual, and absolutely great with Benni. Benni is a typical sausage dog, full of emotions, very sensitive, and he needs a bit of space when meeting new people. Lauren handled this incredibly well and gave him exactly what he needed to feel comfortable. We would definitely book with Lauren again and would happily recommend her to others.”

“We booked Noa for 4 nights to take care of our reçue dog Nugget while we went away - he can be reactive to other dogs. She was so communicative throughout the dogsit and gave us regular updates which made us feel at ease! Will definitely use her again. You can tell she loves animals and takes great care in every dog she dog sits. Thank you again :)”

“Tania was the perfect sitter. Her love of animals really shone through. Makki had the best time, with lots of photo updates whilst I was away. The flat was kept spotless and I know Makki was well cared for. Would definitely recommend Tania. 💞”

“Evan looked after Piper for about 30 hours for me one weekend when I was unable to use one of my regular sitters. He was very responsive to my enquiry and even made himself available in a very tight window before the sit to meet and greet Piper - which was much appreciated. Piper accepted Evan pretty much straight away (after the baseball cap was removed and a good sniff had been had)! Handover and key collection from a friend went smoothly and everything was calm on my return - as though the dog of my life hadn’t missed me at all! Thanks Evan”

“Haley is absolutely lovely, only her second visit and Pojo was absolutely jumping of happiness when she reached our place for house sit. She sent us photos and updated us about his dinner. It is fireworks season and she took care of him through that, tried different things to distract him from barking. She walked him on time and fed him in time. I am sure I will ask her help a lot. Thanks Hayley”


About: I’ve been lucky enough to have had two of my own dogs, Callie and Leo, both of which I’ve trained since they were puppies. Leo became a wonderful therapy dog who would give the best cuddles to patients at my local hospice. And Callie was my little shadow everywhere I went 💕 Whilst at university I used ‘borrow my doggy’ to help care for other people’s dogs which was an absolute joy! I’ve also regularly looked after my friend’s cat, Timmy whilst staying at their flat in Brixton so house sitting is something I’m very comfortable with if needed. We, as owners, are so so lucky to have pets - they really do become a huge part of the family and I will gladly help in anyway I can to look after yours xx I am currently taking time off from my full time job as an Interior Architect so I am available during the week as well as weekends. I live close to Highbury Fields which is where I love to go for walks already so having a dog to join me will be an easy transition. I live with my partner, who also loves dogs. We have a large, fenced garden which is perfect for dogs of any size. Furniture wise, we don’t mind having animals up on the sofa/bed or can happily keep them off if that’s preferred by you.
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She was available very last minute to look after my 2 (very high energy dogs!). It was clear from our meet & greet that Chunk & Moosh would be left in safe hands! Hannah is such a friendly, trustworthy & kind person who is truly devoted to dogs. The boys had an amazing time with her this week whilst I was away and went on great adventures to Highgate wood, Hampstead Heath and Waterlow Park. She sent lots of pictures and daily reports of how things were going and didn’t seemed phased by my very energetic pointer puppy and nervous/reactive springer. I feel so lucky we were able to meet Hannah and would definitely book again! Couldn’t recommend any more :)”

“Ifi is wonderful. She looked after our dog in our home across a weekend, and we instantly felt comfortable with her. More importantly, so did our pup! She was swift, clear and professional in every communication, and kept us updated with photos and funny details during the sit. She’s a natural with dogs, and a warm, trustworthy and responsible person to work with. We hope this will prove to be the first of many dog-sits.”


“Thank you, Megan! Megan really looked after our dog and house in a great manner! It was the first time I ever used this type of service so was a bit nervous but everything was great in the end. She kept me posted throughout the day which was super useful! Next time, I will definitely use Megan's services! Thank you so much - you've been great”


About: I’m the designated pet sitter for my friends! I have taken care of senior cats, puppies, and pit bulls to name a few. My experience includes daily walks and overnight pet sitting. I work freelance from anywhere, somewhat of a digital nomad. I’m flexible with my time and location. I’m available for one-off sits or set visits I offer neighborhood walks and in-your-home sitting as I’m sadly not able to have pets in my home. I meet your pets in their own environment and seamlessly follow their routine
“Henrique is the best dog sitter we have ever had! He took the most amazing care of our two golden retrievers and we had such peace of mind on holiday knowing Henrique was with them. My wife and I now won’t book a trip without checking with Henrique first to see if he is available. He’s the best!!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Flor provided for our pets! She looked after our two dogs, Teri and Cambo, and our cat, Shanti. Both Teri and Shanti have health conditions and need regular medication, and Flor was incredibly reliable and attentive in making sure everything was handled properly. She kept us updated throughout our time away with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear our pets felt comfortable and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found Flor and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter!”

“Vitoria is a thorough professional - arrived on time, was very attentive when I was sharing any instructions for Ollie, provided regular updates and the best part - she was so sensitive to Ollie’s separation anxiety that she offered to stay for 30 extra minutes since we were running late. Thank you SO much Vitoria! See you soon!”

“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!”

“We loved having Magda watch our puppy Noa! It was the first time we left her and we felt very very comfortable leaving her with Magda. We had consistent ( daily ) communication with her and received pictures and updates on how everything was going. We will definitely be looking to book Magda again for our next trips. Thank you so much!!!”

This was only our second use of a sitter in our home and our first for more than one night, and thanks to Lauren it was a massive success! We were abroad on holiday and quite anxious about leaving Sparrow, but Lauren quickly put our minds at rest, keeping us update every day with what they were up to and sending lots of photos of Sparrow out and about enjoying herself. We came home to a happy dog and a house tidier than when we left it! Thank you Lauren, we will definitely book you again next time we go away.

James looked after our cat and puppy for four days during the summer heatwave, and we are beyond happy! Considering the puppy wasn't vaccinated yet and had to stay indoors, James did such an amazing job. Because our cat is still getting used to the dog, James put in extra effort to ensure the cat still received plenty of love and attention, and he sent us updates throughout. I would 100 percent book James again, our animals actually seemed happier than when we left them!

Lucy was just the best kitten-sitter! Communication was amazing, got lovely updates, and the kittens were super happy and chilled out when we got home. I highly recommend Lucy, she clearly loves cats and I felt super reassured the whole time we were away. Thanks Lucy!

Emma is great! We appreciated Emma taking the time to come and meet us and Murphy before the sitting appointment. Emma has a very calming way which is perfect for our excitable Puppy, prevents him from getting overtired. Felt very reassured when away from Murphy ☺️

Henry was great! Unfortunately Chico exhibited entirely uncharacteristic behavior, which now we know is due to him not having a male sitter before (going forward - female sitters only will be specified). Henry handled the whole situation with utmost grace and patience. I’d highly recommend him.
