Sarah is wonderful with dogs! She’s a natural and very professional in everything she does. She pays attention to each pet in a personalised way and always asks the right questions. Most importantly, I can see how happy Aiya is after their walk and exercise. For an active breed like a working Cocker Spaniel, that’s especially important.

Adriana walked our dog Milly each day for a week while we were on holiday and Milly was staying with a friend. Our friend said Milly came home happy and tired each time.

About: I’ve always had animals around me for as long as I can remember. Dogs especially – they’ve been a part of my life since I was a little girl. When I was studying architecture at university, I adopted my own pup (literally scooped him up off the street as a puppy – love at first sight!). After moving to London (sadly, without him), I started helping out by looking after other people’s dogs. It didn’t take long to realize how much joy and energy they bring into my life. Being around dogs just makes everything better – it’s like a little piece of home wherever I go. I am currently working full time but from home so taking care of dogs will not affect my schedule and the dog’s experience as well. I live in a spacious apartment right across from Hackney Wick Station. Victoria Park is just a 10-minute walk away, and the canal is even closer—only about 4 minutes on foot. With such lovely spots nearby, our walks are sure to be enjoyable and refreshing.

About: I have two years of hands-on experience fostering and caring for a pair of golden retriever-labrador puppies, looking after their daily needs with walks, playtime, feeding, bathing, and even cooking homemade meals for them. I also occasionally care for my cousin’s French bulldog, walking him, teaching him tricks, feeding him, and playing together. I have cared for my own cat for 12 years, have fostered and rescued kittens, and have sat for friends’ and family’s pets. I truly love spending time with pets and find joy in keeping them healthy, entertained, and loved. I have a flexible schedule as I’m not in full-time work right now. I am job hunting at the moment, so I can usually adapt to your pet’s needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they are fed, walked, and played with as instructed. I keep the home tidy, respectful, and leave pets feeling safe and loved.

About: I’ve spent years looking after dogs of all types, from family pets to neighbours’ dogs, giving me plenty of hands-on experience and confidence in caring for different personalities and needs. I regularly care for my three family dogs — Crumble, Rudy, and Mabel — making sure each of them gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. This has taught me how to adapt my approach depending on a dog’s energy level, mood, and routine. Beyond my family pets, I’ve dogsat for neighbours and friends, taking responsibility for feeding, walks, toilet breaks, play sessions, and monitoring their overall wellbeing. I’m active and energetic, so I can provide extra exercise or games for dogs that need it, while also offering calm, focused attention for dogs who prefer a quieter environment. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as part of my family, ensuring they are safe, happy, and comfortable at all times. I work from home full-time, which means I’m always around to look after your dogs and give them the attention they need throughout the day. Hitting 10,000 steps per day is part of my lifestyle, rain or shine, so regular dog walks — long or short — are no problem at all. I’m also very active, so if your dog needs a more energetic break, play session, or extra exercise, I can easily provide that. Because I live alone, I can dedicate plenty of time and focus to any dogs in my care, making sure they feel comfortable, well looked after, and part of my daily life. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in feeding times, toilet breaks, and walks as needed. You can trust that your dogs will be in safe hands and kept happy, active, and cared for. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for dogs, whether at my home or in a pet owner’s home. I live on the 3rd floor in a one-bedroom flat, right by Kensington Gardens, so dogs can enjoy plenty of walks and exercise just minutes from my door. I also have access to a shared & gated garden behind the building, should the need ever arise for any quick access to greenery! Inside, the flat is warm and cosy, giving them a comfortable spot to relax, especially during colder months. I might not have a fireplace for dogs to cosy up to, but I’ve found my Dyson heater does the trick just as well! I’ve also spent a lot of time dog sitting at other people’s homes — mostly for neighbours when I lived at home — so I know how to respect a dog’s space and follow an owner’s routines. I provide walks, feeding, toilet breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities.

Sterre was amazing with my dog Frankie who is an 11 year old mixed staff. Her leadership and warm energy were immediately picked up by me and Frankie. I was so happy with her and her ability to calmly take my dog for walks. He followed her off no problem. I would strongly recommend Sterre and will definitely use her again when required. Lovely person and super happy with my choice.

About: I grew up with my dog Bond and have always felt a deep connection to dogs and animals in general. I trained my dog from when he was a puppy to be well behaved in any situation and I trained the rescue dog we got a couple of years ago. My Bond is now a senior dog and needs a little more attention and I have learnt how to give that with time. I started dog sitting while I was job hunting after I finished my masters degree and it was such a great way to spend my time and have some lovely company. I now work full time during the week but am always looking to spend time with a furry friend during the weekend! In my home dogs are pretty much free to roam wherever they want. I live a three minute walk from Hyde park so always have access to some green for them to stretch their legs and have a sniff around. At somebody’s else’s home I am dedicated to following their rules.

About: I have had a dog ever since i was born, playing and taking care of them. Since I was 12 my parents have relied on me to walk our dog daily and feed him. When i was 15 I familiarised my dog with the sea and helped him learn to swim. In the past 10 years I have taken my dog to the vet multiple times. I love spending time with my friends’ dogs, petting them and playing with them. I am currently working from home on a flexible schedule and can take dogs for a walk during the day. I am available during most week days unless I have a full-day meeting and occasionally on weekends. I have a safe flat, closely located to Regent’s park. I like taking dogs for walks in the park, sitting with them to watch them as I work from home, in my bedroom or the living room.

About: Hi, my name is Tanya Patel. I am an international student from India currently studying for a Master’s in the History of Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art. The hardest part about leaving home was saying goodbye to my dog, Benjamin. He is a rescue and is very sensitive. He is scared of loud sounds and can be reactive, so I am very familiar with being patient, gentle, and understanding with dogs that may feel anxious or need extra reassurance. Because of this, I am very attentive when it comes to a dog’s wellbeing and behaviour. On walks, I always make sure they have had enough time to do all their business, and I pay close attention to their health and habits. I even check their stool to make sure everything looks normal. I am also very observant about their surroundings to ensure they do not step on or pick up anything they should not and that they feel safe in their environment. I am sure everyone here says they are a dog lover, and I am happy to join the gang. Most importantly, I treat every dog the way I treat my own, like family. My priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. 🐾 I’m currently a master’s student, so my schedule is quite flexible. I have several days during the week without university, and I’m also free on weekends. I’m a very particular and attentive person, so I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, and routines, and ensure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention.

About: I always took care of my family, friends’ dogs when they were away and needed someone to be with their pet. I am a student at Imperial College London, and with my free time - I want to both make a side hustle, and feel less lonely spending time with animals. I am a student, but my program is mainly project based, and self-learning. With the right planning, I have plenty of time to take care of your beloved friends. Just text me when you want to leave them with me for walking & I’ll try to handle it :) I mainly do dog walking. If you want to leave your dog with me, I can only take care of them at your house. If that’s the case, I just need special matters, such as when do you give them food (if you do it time to time), any allergies, etc.

About: I’ve been consistently dogsitting for two of my friends for the past 3 years which has been going really well. I love being around dogs so much and look forward to looking after yours! Working from home gives me lots of flexibility for walks, daycare, etc and if needed/possible I can take your dog to the office with me since it is a dog friendly office. My flat is a safe and secure environment for your dog. There is no risk of escape and windows are only open at safe heights.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, cats, dogs, chicken, ducks, hamsters. I grew up on a “French farm” and I miss having pets around and taking care of them. While living in the US for 6 years, I had a cat and dog Sat at the company Pupstar. I work from home and make my own schedule. I’m quite obsessed with my step counts and want to hit my 10k steps a day. I live in a flat on the 3rd floor at the end of a hallway. There is a door closed at all times between the hallway and the elevator/stairs.

Lala has been walking our dog Roxy all week and she has been fantastic. She is reliable, punctual and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Roxy was always happy to see her and came back from the walks calm and well exercised. Communication was easy and she kept us updated which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend Lala and would be very happy to book her again.

We’ve recently started working with Konstantin and couldn’t be happier. From the beginning he took the time to properly meet Ziggy, which immediately put us at ease. He’s very diligent and has been great at sticking to Ziggy’s training routine to keep things consistent. We also really appreciate the small touches, like always cleaning Ziggy’s paws when they get back from their walk. Highly recommend Konstantin to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind and attentive for their dog.
