Doggy Day Care Kensington

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. For the past 5.5 years, I lived in New York City with my Mini Australian Shepherd, Ozzy, who I raised from a puppy during COVID. Ozzy was (and still is!) my best friend. He slept in my bed every night, came on adventures with me, and was truly part of my family. When I moved to the UK in March, I had to leave him with my parents in the US because he’s reactive and the move would have been too stressful for him. I miss him every single day. Owning a reactive dog taught me patience, how to read canine body language, and the importance of creating calm, positive experiences for every dog. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and reactive dogs who need a little extra understanding. I genuinely love dogs, and if your pup stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family—not just a pet. Whether they love cuddles on the sofa, long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing by your side, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while following the routine and house rules you prefer. I also grew up with cats, so I’m just as happy caring for feline family members too. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone else because that’s exactly how I’d feel with Ozzy. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable, with plenty of updates, photos, and care you can trust. I work full-time in recruitment, but I have a very flexible hybrid schedule and typically only work from the office 1–2 days each week. On work-from-home days, I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I absolutely love dogs, and your pup will receive lots of companionship, cuddles, and care. My home is also just a 5-minute walk from Hyde Park and under 10 minutes from Holland Park, so they’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor time and exciting walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog because I felt exactly the same way about my own Mini Australian Shepherd, Ozzy. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, crate training, sleeping arrangements, and any special instructions. My mews house provides a calm, home-like environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We live within a short walk of both Hyde Park and Holland Park, giving plenty of opportunities for safe, enriching walks and exercise. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I only take a limited number of bookings at a time so every dog gets plenty of individual attention.

About: My name’s Emma, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up having dogs at home and now have my own Italian greyhound, Pablo, who’s pretty much my best friend. I love everything about dogs, the routines, the little quirks, the cuddles. I know how much it means to leave your pet with someone who genuinely cares, so I’d always make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, calm, and affectionate, but also practical, I can handle walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping them company. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel at home. I also took care of my senior dog until he was 20years old! So don’t mind any age :)) I’m currently in uni, so my schedule is very flexible and I never leave the dogs alone for more than two hours (but can also always make arrangements and do my classes online if that’s not possible) Dogs are family, both in and outside of the house. They can sleep on the bed, or in their bed wherever they prefer!! I’m always happy and down to take them everywhere with me or stay at home and snuggle.

“Konstantina was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease from the moment we met her. She was warm, attentive, trustworthy and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Our dog was so happy and relaxed when we picked her up, which says everything. Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt that our dog was in the safest and most caring hands possible. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would book with Konstantina again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended!”

Definitely recommend her and will use her services again.”

“I was incredibly grateful for Carly’s help on short notice. She welcomed Monty into her flat and made sure he had a wonderful time at the park. When it was time for the handover, Carly met me personally, ensuring that I felt confident about Monty’s care. Her friendly, professional approach turned a potentially stressful situation into a reassuring experience.”

“I was a bit nervous about pet sitting as it was the first time Dinah had had a sitter. Victoria put my mind at ease as when she came to pick up Dinah, I could see that she was very good with dogs. she provided some photos of Dinah during the visit, unfortunately I didn’t get them because we were at the theatre so my phone was turned off, obviously not anything Victoria did wrong! This is the first time I had used Rover so I was not very good at getting back with her but everything worked out fine and when I went to pick up Dinah she was calm and content. Now that I have discovered Victoria when we come up to London, I am sure I will use her again.”

“Alize was super lovely. I could tell Chili felt really well with her! I can definitely recommend Alize to anybody who wants their doggy in good and caring hands.”

About: I absolutely adore the companionship of both cats and dogs. I’m incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and understand how worrying it can feel leaving your fur baby with someone new. Rest assured, your pet will be in safe, caring hands with me. I live near Kensington Olympia and take daily walks to Holland Park, making it a perfect environment for relaxed strolls and plenty of enrichment. At home, I have a loving 4-year-old Chihuahua who gets along brilliantly with other dogs, as well as two friendly cats who are very used to visiting pups. I work full-time, spending three days working from home and two days in the office, which allows me to give plenty of attention, structure, and company throughout the week.

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.

“Spotty being a difficult dog (cute but reactive) I was very happy and lucky to find Hallie. It's not the first time she looks after Spotty and he is now excited whenever we arrive close to her flat. He had a great day with her and will be spending more time with her!”

I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and I truly adore animals of all sizes and personalities. I currently live in Paddington (near the station). I don’t have pets here yet and really miss my two fur babies in Brazil — which means I now have an infinite supply of affection, long walks and belly rubs ready to share! Whether you’re nearby or a little further out, I’m happy to take your dog on exciting walks, play at the park, or keep your cat company while you’re away. I’m an affectionate, organised and tidy carer who always goes the extra mile to make pets feel safe, relaxed and loved.

I look forward to meeting your furry family and can’t wait to walk, play and take care of your best friend 🐶🐱 Many thanks! 🤍 I’m available every morning and again in the late afternoons and evenings, including weekends. I organise my schedule carefully around pet care to make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise and love. Living near Paddington station allows me to travel easily to nearby areas. Safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding routines, feeding and house rules, and use secure leads or harnesses during walks while choosing safe routes. I take time to build trust with each pet, especially nervous ones, and always use positive reinforcement. I respect clients’ homes and provide regular updates with photos and videos so owners feel reassured.

About: For my whole life I have grown up looking after dogs - taking them on runs, walks, hikes, or just spending time with them for my family, as well as, over the past 7 years, for other families. I am friendly, wonderful with dogs, and since I have moved away from home, I am missing spending time with dogs and caring for them. During the week, I work fully remote and flexible hours, and I love walking, or taking a break to spend time with your pet! I can host / board, stay, or pop in, depending what your preference is! I am in a very pet-friendly home - while none of us have dogs or cats, we welcome any chance to spend time with yours! We have a secure flat, with good natural light and a small garden outside where I can take care of cats and dogs. I am caring, attentive and get on very well with animals.

“Grateful to Jeanne for agreeing to look after BP at the last minute. She was amazing with him and was very good at communicating! She would update me all throughout and would send me photos of him!”

“Varenya took care of Lenox for one day. She is friendly and was very enthusiastic about having Lenox around. They went for walks in the park and she sent pictures during the day, which was very appreciated!”

“I couldn´t be happier with the care Isabella provided for my dog Luna. She was attentive, kind and clearly loves animals. Communication with her was very easy, making the whole experience stress-free. Luna was happy and well-looked after during the three hours (and a little bit more ;-) ) she was with Isabella. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Iris was caring and conscientious with our 15 year old Maltichon Penny, updating us on how she was getting along, and genuinely made an effort to connect with her. I would recommend Iris, as she is very experienced and knowledgeable, and organised. Everything went well as we arranged, and it was reassuring to know Penny was left in good hands. It's also a plus that Iris has her own dog Sunny, who was good company for Penny, she came away very calm and happy.”

“Abigail was amazing with Mishka, she looked after him for a couple of hours and he was clearly happy and relaxed in her care. She sent frequent photo updates throughout, which put my mind at ease. Would definitely book her again”

About: Hi! I’m Paulina, a dog lover living in West London. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs, as I adopted and raised my own pups back home in Mexico, where I’m from. They’re currently back there (being very spoiled by my parents), so I’d absolutely love the chance to spend some time with your furry friends here in London! I work from home a couple of days a week, which gives me flexibility for morning, midday or evening walks, as well as full-day sitting or longer stays over the weekends. I’m caring, responsible and genuinely love spending time with dogs, so I can’t wait to meet you and your little one(s)! I usually work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I’m available for full-day sits on those days, as well as longer weekend stays. I can also help with multiple walks throughout the day when needed! On the days I’m in the office, I’m available for evening walks. I believe every pet has different needs, so first I would ask you about their personality, routine and special requests. Pet walks: Walk duration is 30 mins. I'll bring poop bags and treats (that I will give to them only with your consent). Leash and harness should be provided by you, and preferably been used before so we know it's safe/comfortable. I'll need to know if your furry one is sociable with other dogs and people, and also if it’s reactive to any kind of animal. Pet visits: I can do up to 2 visits a day when I’m working from home and up to 1 when I’m at the office. Weekends could vary and would be evaluated on a case to case basis. I will consider any special requests you may have (medicines, specific toys or treats, fur brushing, teeth brushing, etc.) Day care: I will happily look after your dog during the day when I’m working from home/weekends so you can relax while at the office/minding your day! Pet overnight care: I can take care of your pet overnight in my flat. You'll walk me through their night and morning routine. A veterinary contact will need to be provided in case of any emergency. I'll make sure your pup feels loved and cared for at all times! I can also provide pictures and videos at any time!
