Julia dropped by to check in on Neo, took him for a little walk and played with him! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout as well as let us know about Neo's tummy issues. Would highly recommend Julia

Kim is caring, thoughtful and truly went the extra mile to take care of my pup! She kept me in the loop with updates and photos, and I know josie had a great time hanging with her. Hopefully will get Kim to hang with Josie again soon!

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.

Gabriel was an absolutely fantastic catsitter for us! Im disappointed we didn't find him sooner as he really has been a phenomenal help. It was clear as soon as he came to meet the our boys that he understands the needs of cats and how to approach them (gently, slowly and with patience). He was consistent and conscientious, checking in and out of each visit using the app every day and providing twice daily photo and video updates. He cared for our cats so well and was so respectful throughout, I cannot recommend Gabriel more!!

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 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).

Mark is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter - Suki adores him, and I’m so grateful for the care and love he affords the cats he watches! Even making sure small things like a fallen plant isn’t just put upright, but vacuumed; or the bin being emptied. We are so grateful!

About: As a dog owner for the past 2.5 years, I understand the daily needs, routines and little quirks that come with caring for a happy dog! My ground floor flat is pet friendly and I have a walled garden where your can dog can play and go to the toilet. I have toys and a bed for your dog and will take them for a lunchtime walk as standard! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday but have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily accommodate regular playtime and a lunchtime walk as standard. My workdays are generally relaxed with few meetings, so dogs are never left without attention and can settle comfortably alongside me. I’m always happy to adapt my day around a dog’s usual routine to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and flexible way, always adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routines. I only ever care for my own dog and one other dog at a time, ensuring plenty of attention, supervision, and a relaxed environment. At home, I have a secure, fully walled garden, which is ideal for safe outdoor time and gives dogs space to play and explore with peace of mind. I also have a crate available for dogs who are used to crate time and find it comforting. My 2.5-year-old corgi, Peaches, is friendly and playful and can be great company for visiting dogs, but I’m equally happy to keep dogs separate if preferred. The layout of my home makes this easy, with a large living room separate from the kitchen, utility, and outdoor space, allowing me to stay with your dog while managing space and interactions thoughtfully.

About: I've grown up with a dog and taken care of her from every stage of her life, so I am experienced both junior and senior dogs. In addition, I have done catsittings for friends in the past, which they satisfied with my care. I can be flexible with the schedule for sitting. I am usually available mornings and later afternoon/evenings on weekdays and most of the time on weekends. I will follow your pet's meal routines or walking routines. I am good at giving space for pets if needed, while playing with them when they want to. I can give a daily update of pets what they have been up to or if there is any irregularities

Keely was fantastic! She was so kind and caring with Beau, spent time playing with him, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, comfortable, and coping during the heat wave. She was also incredibly flexible, both with arranging the meet-and-greet and accommodating an extra last-minute visit. As a cat owner herself, she was proactive, thoughtful, and clearly understood what Beau needed. She was also very responsible with my keys and locking up, which gave me great peace of mind. I will definitely book her again if possible and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Yara is AMAZING!! She responded immediately to my sitter request, and was so helpful in which options would be better for me and my cat (Olive) while I was away on holiday. She was very flexible with my schedule for an initial meeting, and then again for the second meeting (both before I went away) to meet Olive and go over general instructions. Then, once I was away she would always text me first when she was on her way to my flat, then again multiple times during EACH visit (I did 2x a day for 30 mins). She sent me so so SO many pictures and videos of how Olive was doing, and if there was anything new to report. Yara not only fed Olive, but played with her, gave vitamins, changed her litter multiple times, and changed her water often. She even wet her fur once or twice to keep her cool during this heat wave!! Yara truly made me feel so comfortable while I was away from my fur baby, and I never thought for a moment that my Olive wasn't in STELLAR hands with Yara! I will absolutely be booking again! THANK YOU YARA!! 💖 💖 💖

Celina took excellent care of Mameta. As the weather was very hot, I gave her quite a few instructions to make sure the flat wouldn’t get too warm, and she followed all of them carefully. I was really impressed by her attention to detail. She also kept me updated every day with photos, along with information on Mameta’s appetite and litter box usage. Since Mameta has kidney issues, this was extremely helpful and reassuring. I would definitely love to book her again next time!
