“Gabriel is a really great cat sitter and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Very attentive to the needs of my fur babies and sent me lots of pictures and videos. He was also very flexible when I had a couple of last-minute requests. I will definitely request him for my next trip as he is completely trustworthy. Thanks so much Gabriel!”


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 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: Hi there!👋 I'm a huge animal lover, and also a qualified veterinary surgeon with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. Alongside my professional work, I've also cared for the dogs of close friends and family, so I'm just as comfortable in a home setting as I am in a clinical one. Whether your dog is a lively pup, a senior with health considerations, or anything in between, I have the knowledge and training to give them the very best care — all in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is currently very flexible — I work as a locum vet, which means I can adapt my schedule easily. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, and happy to visit once or twice a day depending on your cat's needs, or stay overnight if preferred. I always recommend a meet-and-greet before any booking so I can get to know your cat properly — their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any specific needs they may have. Once we've had a chance to bond, I'll tailor my care entirely around them, so they feel safe, comfortable, and in the best possible hands.
“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.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cared for after them over the years. I love animals and miss having a pet Dog myself. I have moved over to London from New Zealand and miss having a furry friend at home. I will give your dog all the love and care it deserves to ensure it is a comfortable stress free experience tailored to the needs of your furry friend. My partner and myself work from home multiple times per week and have a flexible work schedule. We go for walks everyday and would love to have a furry friend to join us. We would love to have a pet to take for walks, play with, cuddles. I always prioritise safety and trust to make sure the pet is feeling safe and comfortable especially in a new place. Always create a safe environment for them and with our apartment being secured rest assure your pet will be safe with us. I will work to build a strong bond and attention to what they want to keep them comfortable. You can receive updates whilst you're away to give you a peace of mind your pet is safe and happy.
“Noa was wonderful - very kind, reliable, and kept us well updated throughout. She quickly built a great bond with our cat and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We’d happily book her again!”

“Kat was great at taking care of my cat! She was communicative, sent daily pictures and videos and my cat Bagerra also clearly liked her. If required I’ll definitely ask her to cat sit again!”


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.
“Kalliopi doesn’t just catsit—she deciphers feline moods with uncanny precision. My girl cats, tough critics, adore her, acting like she’s the Beyoncé of treats and chin scratches. Friendly, reliable, and endlessly adored, she’s a top-tier catsitter. Ten stars, two purrs, zero complaints!”


“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!”

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.

“Emily took great care of my rabbit Mochi while I was on holiday. She kept me updated with photos and videos at each visit along with some entertaining commentary about what Mochi had been upto that day! I’d happily recommend Emily as a pet sitter, and will be asking her again next time I’m away.”

I’ve used Mehak quite a few times now to check on my cat, and she’s been amazing each time! She uploads tons of photos for me to see how my cats doing, and keeps me updated on anything I need to go. She also really goes above and beyond keeping things tidy. Highly recommend Mehak!

Highly recommended! It was the first time she looked after my fur babies and she was wonderful. She's friendly, helpful and kept me updated with tons of pics and vids. My cats seemed to love her, which gave me absolute peace of mind. Will definitely book her again!

Giulia was fantastic. She was really helpful when our usual cat sitter was busy even with short notice. The girls were looked after brilliantly even with medicine needed for Cymbeline (our older girl). Nothing was too much trouble and she sent messages every day.

Jessica was amazing,super gentle and the best company for Bibi. Incredibly reliable, followed all feeding instructions perfectly, and sent me the best photo updates every day. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless house. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Gabriel was an excellent cat sitter. He was communicative, spent lots of time with our cat and sent lots of very cute pictures and videos. I would strongly recommend using Gabriel and am confident our cat was well looked after while we were away. Thank you Gabriel!
