3. Sophia A.
“I booked Sophia quite last minute to look after my dog, and also a friend's dog while we went for a night out. Sophia replied to all messages very quickly, arrived on time, and kept us updated throughout the night, also sending lots of photos and videos. She's clearly a very kind and caring person, and the dogs were happy and calm when we returned. I would absolutely use Sophia again, and I know my pup would be in excellent hands”
4. Giulia S.
“Giulia was an amazing dog sitter. She is kind, gentle and made my lovely old dog feel relaxed while I enjoyed an evening out. My dog has anxiety when I leave him and he has a lot of mobility issues but Giulia took the best care of him. I was so grateful to her. He was relaxed and happy with her, she sent me photos and messaged me so I could feel at ease. I can recommend her 100%”
5. Sofia M.
“Sofia was absolutely wonderful. She came and met Pickle in her lunch break ahead of the house sit so Pickle would be familiar with her, she was flexible with timings, absolutely brilliant with Pickle and a great house sitter as well. Sofia clearly loves dogs, and coming back to a happy, non-stressed Pickle was the best thing after our break. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Sofia to house sit or puppy sit again.”

She watched them for a week while we skied in Switzerland and gave us frequent updates and pictures, and gave them plenty of walks (and runs with the younger one!) She handled some medications for the older one very well. We highly recommend Sara!”

16. Leah R.
About: I’m back!! After a few months away from London I am now back in my King’s Cross house and available for dog care. I have taken care of dogs and have been a dog walker for the majority of my life. When I lived in Manchester with my parents I would often care for our chug (chihuahua and pug mix) and I would walk all of our neighbours dogs from a young age. I am currently working freelance as a sustainability consultant, so often have free time during the day and in the evenings. Lots of time to spend with your pup! I have a fenced yard and dog friendly home. The area is great for dog walking with lots of furry friends for your pup to interact with if they wish.

“We’re really pleased we hired Veronica she was great. Our first time using the app we felt really comfortable, good communication sent loads of pics! We will be back :)”
18. May Y.
“May was right on time and our puppy was excited to meet her! We came home and our pup was tired out, a good sign! May asked all the right questions and kept us updated while we were out. We hope she’ll be available to watch our Pickle again!”
19. Johanna C.
“Johanna took great care of Dude and sent me regular photos while I was away! I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands.”
20. Moira L.
“Moira watched our 2 dogs while we went back to Canada for our wedding, and made it a great and stress free experience. She was amazing - gave us daily updates and photos, and asked questions to ensure she was taking the best care of our girls. She was patient and kind, and our dogs seemed to love her! We’ll definitely work with Moira again :)”
