Dog Walking Kensington

“Cecily was kind, charming and reliable. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”

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.

“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.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since the age of 12. When I was 17 my family gained two bichon frises, one boy called Toby and one girl called Lola. I helped to train them as puppies. While I was at university, I would walk dogs and look after them for the day for free. I am able to train puppies as I have a lot of experience with them. I work from home 4x a week and once in the office. My day starts around 6am before work to go to a fitness class - usually back by 7:30am. I am able to take breaks whenever I need as I manage my own desk. I usually finish work at around 4pm. I can easily crate your dog if needs be. I have a two bedroom flat with a good living room space. I have a small walled garden.

“George is excellent and super communicative. Chewie loves walking with them weekly and I love the photo updates!”

About: When I was young, I grew up with cats, and extended family that always brought dogs around. I grew very attached to them, and even the ones who I didn't live with always felt like family. Now as an adult, I share two cats with my partner, and we hope to add a dog to the family soon. I have the flexibility to fit visits in on most days as long as I have enough heads up to move my scheudle around if needed. Pet care extends beyond providing food and water, I feel they need to be given the space and attention to express their personality, and get energy out in a playful and constructive way.

About: I’m Ignacio, a chilean student now based in London. I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and have many years of experience caring for pets for friends, neighbours, and family members. I also have over a year of experience through TrustedHousesitters, looking after both pets and homes. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, including senior, anxious, and high-energy dogs, as well as cats, rabbits, and turtles. This has taught me how to adapt to different animals’ needs and routines. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, basic medication, or simply keeping a pet company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. As a Master’s student, I have a flexible routine and plenty of time to spend with pets, especially over the summer. I only need to be on campus occasionally, so I’m usually available from morning to evening, as well as for overnight and longer-term care. I always prioritise pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow their usual routines closely and adapt my care to each animal’s personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, companionship, or extra patience, I aim to help pets feel relaxed and at home. I also provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Yoon was very reliable and Ottie was very happy to be walked by him during the week we were away. I’m sure we will ask them again next time we need a dog walker.”

About: Grew up surrounded by pets. I love animals infinitely as they have been great partners. I know how to take care of senior dogs as my goodest of boy passed on this year and had to feed him homecooked meals or medicines I currently studying my masters. This term I have Wednesdays and the weekends free. If interested in Boarding during the week I can host them from Tuesdays evenings until Thursday mornings. I wouldn’t mind for the pet to get on the couch or bed if they are a lazy potatoe, if they are active I would of course play with them tag, tug’ofwar and whatever other fun we can have inside and/or outside!

About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs and had a dog throughout my childhood. I will look after your dog as if it were my own, with lots and lots of love and care! I fostered a dog for two years and she has now gone back to her owner and so would love some dog energy in my life! I offer boarding and dog sitting in my home or at your home, and am happy to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Your dog’s happiness will always come first with me. 🐶🐾 I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you that can relax. I look forward to meeting your darling dog. I’m currently a student and have lots of time at home and flexibility and good availability to care for your dog when you need it. I live in a flat and so only board small and medium dogs at mine but I am experienced with big dogs too and can have them at yours! I live super close to Holland Park and Kensington Palace Gardens.

“I highly recommend Alize! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog Mia. Communication with Alize was fantastic. She is clearly a dog lover and always excited to spend time with Mia. Mia loves her walks and playtime together. Alize kept us updated with pictures and updates from their walks. She is extremely reliable and accommodating. I always feel at ease leaving Mia with Alize.”

About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 9, caring for my beloved dog, Zuzu, in Cyprus. Additionally, I've frequently looked after my best friend's dog when her family is away. My name is Eftychia it means happiness in Greek and I am 24 years old currently working within the law field. I am able to work from home which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine! I find joy in spending time outdoors, particularly in parks, where I often engage in walking or running activities. Combining my passion for outdoor activities with pet care ensures that your furry companion will not only receive necessary exercise but also enjoy exploring nature in a safe and stimulating environment. When caring for pets, my top priority is ensuring they have access to fresh water and nutritious food. Beyond the basics, I enjoy engaging with pets through cuddling, playtime, and providing them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition , I will ensure we take long walks in a safe environment , most of the time in parks such as Hyde park , Holland Park and Kensington Gardens. I will also be updating the dog owners with photos and videos so they know we are having a good time !!!

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.

“Rachel took our 4-year old girl Celia for a walk while we were away. She immediately bonded with her and Celia came back happier than ever. I couldn’t recommend her services enough and we’ll definitely be coming for more walks in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets including dogs, cats, lizards, and fish. I have always been the trusted person within my family and between my friends to look after their pets, as i’m very good with instructions and can be great fun. My energy will always depend on the incredible pet that I look after so that they do not feel overwhelmed or bored at all! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently do not have a job or other major commitments. This means I can dedicate my full attention and time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive plenty of companionship, playtime, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, so I am able to follow their routines closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them. Because I have a very flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is always the happiness and wellbeing of the animals I look after, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives owners complete peace of mind. If a pet is staying in my home, they may also meet my 5-year-old sister. She is very gentle, calm, and loving around animals, and has grown up understanding the importance of treating pets with kindness and respect. She knows that some pets enjoy attention while others need their own space, and she is very good at recognising those boundaries. She loves spending time with friendly pets, whether that means quietly sitting with them, playing gently, or simply keeping them company. However, she always follows instructions and understands that the pet’s comfort comes first. This means visiting pets can enjoy a calm, family-friendly environment with plenty of love and attention if they choose to interact. However, Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, and any other requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. For cats, this may mean providing a calm environment and gentle interaction, while for dogs it could involve walks, games, and lots of affection. I keep living spaces clean and tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behaviour or wellbeing. Since I currently have a flexible schedule, I can dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care, helping them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete confidence that their beloved companion is in caring and responsible hands.

“Cassandre was a wonderful walker! So confident which made Maple feel even more comfortable, and really excited about the walk. Will definitely be working with Cassandre again :)”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from small breeds to larger, more energetic ones. I’ve looked after puppies, adult dogs and seniors, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, basic training, bathing and giving lots of love and attention. I always adapt my care to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the dogs I care for. I can easily fit walks, playtime and feeding into my daily routine, and I’m available on both weekdays and weekends depending on your needs. I always prioritise a safe, calm and clean environment. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, walks and routines. I make sure dogs are supervised, comfortable and stress-free at all times, whether in my home or during walks. I’m attentive to their behaviour and needs and will always keep owners updated.

“So sweet and looked after my very energetic puppy so well.”
