Pet Sitting Islington

“It was Rachel’s first encounter with Dusty (our 13 year old English setter) & Florence (4 year old Greek rescue) totally different characters & Rachel did a terrific job. Both in fine fettle when we returned.”

About: I am a lover of dogs in all shapes and sizes, and would love to have some furry friends to keep me company while I work or walk around Islington. I have always had family dogs, and had two dogs of my own until last year. I am a professional woman that works full time from home for a big tech company. I live in a 2nd floor apartment so if your pup has an issue with their knees it might not be the right fit. I am comfortable with young pups, older ladies and gents who need a bit of extra care and anyone in between. My own dog also had puppies in 2021, so I know how to care for the really little ones as well or pregnant dogs. I have not worked for a service like this before, but I have always cared for my own dogs and often dog sat for friends and family's pets. The dogs in my pics are a mix of my faves - the black and white pup is my mum's dog Turkish, and the others are little ones I've looked after or hung out with. I work full time from home, and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I work from 9-5, and work in the living room where there is a sofa for dogs to curl up on and plenty of room for us to play. Best availability is Monday to Friday, but can have some availability over the weekends depending on travel plans. The apartment is on the 2nd floor, I have hardwood floors throughout the apartment and a sofa that is pet friendly. There are no other pets in this building. I live round the corner from a square with a park in it and a 10 min walk from the apartment is Highbury Fields (a lovely big park to walk around).

“Julia is amazing! I highly recommend her. She looks after my cockapoo Luna once a week. Luna is a rescue so can be quite nervous with new people but she warmed to Julia instantly which speaks to how kind and calm she is. Julia sent me updates to assure me that Luna was happy. I feel so relaxed when Luna is with her.”

“Rachel's care of Mimi, and my home, was great. Mimi was relaxed and happy on my return. Rachel sent great feedback and Mimi evidently enjoyed Rachel's drop ins.”

“She took great care of our cats for 5 days. She visited the cats on a consistent schedule and sent us daily updates that we enjoyed getting while we were away. Thanks Justyna!”

About: I'm Magda and as a certified petsitter with many years of experience, I genuinely care for every pet as if they were my own. My collaboration with an animal psychologist and behaviourist enhances my ability to understand and meet your pet's unique needs. I specialize in caring for both senior dogs and puppies and cats providing the gentle attention they require, including administering medication when needed. I recently organized workshops on dog communication, sharing insights on how dogs express their needs, especially during walks. You can trust that your furry family member will receive compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored just for them. PLEASE READ ALL DESCRIPTIONS I work from 2:30-6pm at school in Hampstead from Mon-Fri. But other than that, I can be with your pet all the time :) remotely for just a couple of hours a day. If needed I can cancel my work for a day or two My weekends are completely free, so I can focus on giving your pet the attention they need while keeping their routine on track. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or giving medication, I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s needs. I provide petsitting exclusively in the owner’s home because I believe it’s the best option for their pets. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and anxiety, allowing dogs to feel safe and secure. I find that maintaining their routine—whether it’s mealtime, walks, or playtime—makes a big difference in their overall well-being.

About: As a lifelong pet parent currently living an ocean away from my dog, I would be honoured to care for your fur babies in London. I have had pets all my life. Growing up, we had at least one dog and one cat at all times - often more than one! I always took a keen interest in taking our dogs in walks and playing with our cats. I have over 6 years of petsitting experience for friends and neighbors as well. I moved to the UK from the US in 2022, and I’ve been living without my sweet dog Sadie, who is staying with my parents in the US, for two and a half years now. As someone who considers their dog a member of the family, I know how important it is to have someone you trust who will give your pets not only what they need while you’re gone, but also love, attention and care. That is the kind of service I am offering. I work full-time but mostly from home. Based in Paddington, I can do several visits per day as I am well-connected to other parts of the city, and I am happy to do overnight visits as well. While I cannot bring pets into my flat, I will treat your home with the utmost care and respect. I go above and beyond to care for your pet(s) as well as your space. You can rest assured that everything will be in order when you return.

About: I first had a dog when I was 12. I trained my dog, and cared for my dog until his senior age. I have always loved caring for dogs and have been doing so on/off until now. I'm currently working part-time and I have plenty of time to look after your cat. I am available full-day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays as well as weekends, and from 4pm on all Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays I have a quiet flat with plenty of space for your cat to play, I make sure there are no hazards and the windows and doors will be closed during all times. I can also assure you that your cat will be taken care of at all times in a loving home.

“Adam took great care of my cat while I was away for a whole week. He sent thoughtful notes and pictures that helped a lot . Adam is kind, polite and clearly loves animals. I really recommend him and will go for him again in the future. Thank you Adam!!!”

“Tre-Emmanuel is a wonderful cat-sitter! Tre-Emmanuel took great care in learning about our cats and their needs and provided timely updates and was extremely communicative. Highly recommend!”

“Noa was an amazing sitter! She was very reliable and was sending pics and updates for the cats and the house the entire time we were away. Both of my cats seemed to adore her, they warmed up super quickly and were very calm when we got back home. I will def have Noa sit for us again, it was very comforting to know the cats were happy and cared for while we were away.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 10 years old and was always involved in their daily care and routines from a very young age. Growing up around them helped me naturally understand dog behaviour, and how important consistency and affection are for them. A huge part of my childhood was growing up with two Dobermans and Great Danes, so I’ve always been around large dogs with strong personalities and lots of energy. They shaped me massively growing up and taught me responsibility, patience and confidence around dogs from an early age. Two years ago I got my own dachshund, Chef, who completely changed my life and made me feel even more connected to dogs. Having my own dog has given me much more hands on experience and helped me understand how much trust owners place in the person caring for their pet. Chef is my family, and I would treat any dog in my care with the same level of love and attention as I do with him. It’s also been lovely experiencing both sides of dog ownership, from growing up with big breeds to now having a smaller dog with his own funny personality. Over the last decade, living in different countries also gave me opportunities to do pet sitting and spend time caring for different dogs. I currently work in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility for pet sitting during the week and weekends. I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, supervision and making sure dogs feel happy and well looked after while their owners are away. I work in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility during the week and weekends for pet care. As a dachshund owner myself, I’m already used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime and making sure dogs feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. Creating a calm and safe environment for pets is very important to me. I always make sure dogs have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, exercise, attention and plenty of supervision. Having my own dachshund has taught me a lot about understanding dog behaviour, body language and routines. I would always treat someone else’s pet with the same level of care and patience as I do with my own dog.

About: I’ve frequently looked after friends and neighbours dogs and cats, and have had family dogs for 20 years. I absolutely adore animals but can’t own a pet in my current property, so always willing to help look after other people’s pets! I’m a keen walker and have cared for both small and large dogs. I work as a journalist so often have days off during the week where I can be available to look after pets. I also have weekend availability. I’m a keen walker and a previous marathon runner so I love being able to take dogs out for plenty of exercise! I don’t have the capacity to look after pets in my own home but very happy to care for pets in owners homes. I am very conscientious and have a good understanding of the needs and daily routines of both cats and dogs.

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.

“Anais was so lovely with Calypso. She is caring and responsible and was able to handle my nervous pup. Very happy!”
