“Absolutely wonderful. We were nervous as we had never used a dog sitting app before but Matthew was just amazing. He came to meet us and our dogs prior and made us feel so confident and calm. Our girls absolutely loved him and we were so grateful for all of his fantastic photo updates! He took great care of our home too, looking after the plants as well as the dogs! We've already rebooked his services for next time which says it all. Thank you so much Matthew, we are so grateful :)”


“Thalles has been incredible house sitting and watching our 2 golden retrievers while we were away for a few days! He took such great care of our boys, sent us photos throughout the trip, and left our flat so nice and clean. Cannot recommend Thalles enough and we will certainly have him watch the dogs again in the future!”


“Fernanda is a complete pro! She was always on time to arrive and kept me updated with pictures/videos of her playing with my pup. Fernanda went above and beyond for all occasions (she even picked up cherries from the floor of the garden as they are harmful for dogs). Very friendly and very good communication, could not recommend more!”


“Alice is brilliant, took care of Bonnie really well, loads of pictures, took care of my house and was punctual, professional and a pleasure to communicate with throughout. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”


“Pam has reported back that she received excellent care from Angelina. She was friendly, affectionate and, most importantly, served soft food room-warmed to perfection. Pams guardians also enjoyed the daily updates and photos. All partiers would be happy to have Angelina around again.”


“Ryan took care of Leia for the first time and did a great job doing so. With a fussy bulldog he worked with all her nuances/needs and also left our house in great shape. We returned to a very happy dog so clearly she was looked well after in his care.”


“Shanna was lovely with Andy very patient with our puppy who was very anxious leaving me the first time. She tried her best to calm him and sent lots of updates throughout the day. Thank you so much :)”


“Beatriz was very communicative and arrived well in time to hand over. The cats were very happy and calm and I received detailed updates as well as photos and videos, which was great. Beatriz also helped with a situation at home, monitoring an issue that arose just before I left, which I was really grateful for, and my home was exactly as I left it on my return. Thank you!”


“Kon was a caring, methodical dog whisperer with my one-year-old puppy when I had to go out of town for 36 hours. My puppy at first was not sure about this stranger, but in no time they were best friends. He was great in the questions he asked and his overall communication. I feel certain my dog is looking forward to the next time!”


“Karen is a brilliant dog sitter and was an absolute lifesaver when we had a family emergency. We needed to travel at the last minute and Karen jumped in to house and dog sit for our sweet, but sometimes naughty Whippet Velo. Despite the short notice, she kindly made time to come meet him beforehand and was always prompt and communicative. Karen put Velo at ease and he took to her right away. We came home after an exhausting trip to find a happy Velo and a super tidy flat. So grateful for her support. I wouldn't hesitate to have Karen sit again I definitely recommend her to others!”


“Absolutely loved having Corina to look after Bella. She was kind, played with her lots and left my house tidier than when I left! Bella was clearly very happy with her and I would highly recommend Corina. Thank you so much”


About: Hey, I’m Jeremy – I’ve grown up with pets all my life, from cats to dogs, and I’ve always loved being around animals. For seven years, I had the joy of raising my Cavapoo, Albie, from a puppy. He was full of personality and such a big part of my life until he sadly passed away from cancer in 2023. Since then, I’ve really missed having that daily dog time, so I’ve been walking dogs through other services and helping out friends whenever I can. I work mostly from home, with the occasional bit of travel, so I’ve got plenty of flexibility to give your dog the time, care, and attention they need. If you’re local and need someone friendly and reliable to walk your dog or just pop in and keep them company, I’d love to help out. Happy to chat more if you have any questions! I’m working full time but I work from home Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. During my work schedule I can find more than enough time to look after your pup. I can easily cater to your dogs needs, and will make sure I look after them as I would my own. I’d be keen to learn their routine so I can make sure there is consistency in their routine.

“This was our 1st time leaving our little Maggie and we could not have asked for more from Natalie. Right from the beginning she was prompt to respond to my e-mails and even came to meet Maggie on two occasions which really helped with developing a relationship with Natalie and of course with Maggie. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We were sent regular updates and pictures via whats app. We came back to an even cleaner house that we left. Maggie was well cared for and had a great time whilst we were away. Natalie made the whole experience so relaxing and knowing our little pooch was happy made a huge difference too.”


About: Raised on a farm by two small-animal vets, I’ve been around animals my whole life. Growing up I loved helping out in the vet clinic and taking care of the animals who boarded with us at the farm. In London, I’ve always been happy to house-sit for friends and flatmates pets while they traveled or were busy with work. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and preferences—but all deserve the same attention, care, and affection! I am currently a freelance consultant and primarily work from home, so I have substantial control over my weekly schedule to help adapt to your needs. I am happy to follow whatever pet care routines in your own home that you prefer. While I do not personally have a crate or garden at my flat, I am nearby some great parks in West London that pups love and can socialize them with some of my neighborhood friends' friendly dogs if desired.

“Storm looked after our dog reactive rescue staffie Daisy at our house and did a great job. She was incredibly considerate before our meet and greet, checking if Daisy had any likes or dislikes and was more than happy to work around us when arranging a date. Communication was great and Daisy really liked Storm. We had no doubts that she would follow our (sometimes complex!) instructions and respect our house. We have booked her again and would definitely recommend her!”
