Dog Walking Kensington

About: Hi there! 🤗 I grew up in Austria 🇦🇹 surrounded by animals. Although, unlike in The Sound of Music, my childhood companions were guinea pigs rather than a troupe of singing children. My parents never allowed us to have a dog or cat, so I made up for it by spending as much time as possible with my friends’ pets. I now have experience looking after my friends’ pets and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, and I’ll send you regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m equally happy with a gentle stroll, a long walk or even a run if your dog has more energy! I am self-employed and typically work from home or co-working spaces. I am therefore very flexible both during the week and on weekends. I love to play games with your cat(s)/dog(s). But equally, I will adapt to their personality and needs. I am also enhanced DBS-checked as I’ve worked with students in pastoral roles.

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.

“Jaewon and Sangyoon are very friendly and reliable. Ottie has been walked by them twice and we are looking forward to them caring for her when we are away on holiday.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I had a Jack Russell from just a few weeks old until he was 16 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life, from puppyhood through to old age. In his later years he developed dementia, arthritis and heart disease, so I understand the extra patience, care and attention that senior dogs need. Because of that, I have a real soft spot for older dogs and I'm confident caring for pets who need a slower pace or a little extra support. Alongside owning dogs, I have experience dog sitting and house sitting, caring for dogs in their own homes and helping them stay happy and settled while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am particularly good with nervous or shy dogs, always taking the time to let them build trust at their own pace. I work part-time as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS, where I support people every day with compassion and patience. I bring that same approach to caring for dogs, taking the time to understand each dog's individual needs and personality. My aim is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved and comfortable while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know how they're getting on. 'm happy to follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication and any specific instructions, to help them feel as settled and comfortable as possible I work part-time as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I'm mainly available for house sitting, dog sitting and dog walking at weekends, with some weekday availability depending on my work schedule. I'll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise and company, while sticking to their usual routine to help them feel relaxed and at home. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll always respect both your space and your dog's routine. I'll follow any instructions you leave, including feeding schedules, walks, medication and bedtime routines, to help your dog feel as comfortable and settled as possible. I understand that every dog is different, so I'll take the time to get to know their personality and needs, whether they're energetic, shy or enjoy a slower pace. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind.

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was little, growing up in my hometown in Italy. Over the years, I've cared for cats, dogs of all sizes—from Shih Tzu to Great Danes and Mastiffs—and even horses. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Now that I live in London, I really miss having my family dogs and the joy of coming home to an excited wagging tail or a cuddly cat. Pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time with animals while providing them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. In London, I looked after a lovely Dachshund for a year while interning at an office. I cared for him from puppyhood, helping with his daily routine, reinforcing his training, and making sure he was happy, safe, and well looked after throughout the day. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll always treat them with kindness, patience, and plenty of affection. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pets. I can provide lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also available on weekends and happy to spend quality time with your pets, whether that means play sessions, walks, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and respect their personality, needs, and preferences. I understand that trust and safety are the most important things when someone is caring for your pets. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I will take the time to learn about their routines, personalities, and any special needs, and I will respect these to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, litter box care, medication if needed, and any specific habits or preferences your cats and dogs may have.

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and I’ve been pet sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have experience both raising puppies and providing senior care, and with caring for multiple pets at once. Aside from pet sitting, my family also fostered dogs for years, ranging from toy poodles to pit bulls. We took emergency placements for puppies and medical recovery. I currently freelance part time so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I am available both weekends and weekdays for walks, check ins, and full time in home care. I offer in home pet sitting so your pet will get to remain in the environment they find most familiar and comfortable. I am happy to accommodate the structure and routine you follow for your pet.

“Albert is very happy with Louiza!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and horses since I was 10 years old. I was the primary caregiver for my own doodle from the time she was just three months old, including potty training her and teaching her basic commands and tricks. I’m also comfortable caring for more than one dog at a time, as friends and family have often trusted me to look after their pets. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! 🐶🐾💕 I live just a short walk from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, which are perfect for long, enjoyable walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. There are also several lovely green spaces nearby, so your dog will have lots of opportunities to explore, play, and enjoy different walking routes during their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home! 😇🌸🥰🌸 I recently left my full-time role and I am currently available full-time while I search for my next opportunity. During this time, I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adapt to yours. I look forward to helping in any way I can!🐶🐾 In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax on the sofa or bed and will receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. When we’re out and about, I always keep dogs on a lead to ensure their safety, unless we’re in a secure, fenced area where they can run freely and enjoy playing with other dogs.

“Akari was fantastic with my dog, Minty! Minty can be very stubborn and difficult to walk, she was great with her and got her to walk the whole time! Akari is very patient, gentle and caring!”
