“Justina has a lovely, calm energy that both of our beagles responded to immediately. Our rescue dog can be unpredictable at times, but she warmed to Justina straight away. Justina was punctual, confident, polite, and very responsive - keeping us updated throughout her stay and sending photos. Will definitely book her again.”

“Allison is amazing! Hemingway loved her. She sent me photo updates while I was out which was such a nice touch. Will most definitely be using her again next time I need a sitter. Thanks, Allison :)”

“Where to even start with this incredible human. Dolo was so thorough and engaged with Nigel during her stay. She went above and beyond making sure he had plenty of exercise, and that he was also stimulating his brain. She knows just the right amount of communication dog owners want, providing a mixture of pictures and videos. Nigel was SO well looked after. Dolo left my flat absolutely immaculate. It was cleaner than when I left, and she washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed (which was so unexpected). I came home from a trip and had to do nothing. She not only went above and beyond for my puppy, but for me as well. The most kind and considerate human. 🩷❤️”

“Kon is an excellent dog sitter and truly goes above and beyond. (He regularly spends over an hour in the park with my dog). Kon is both responsible and professional, and I’m happy to recommend him!”

“Fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our 11 month old dog and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing he was in good hands ❤️ endless photo and video updates as well which we really appreciated!”


“Yi was wonderful! She was responsive to queries, happy to come meet the animals, and loved them immediately. Our two cats and two dogs were very happy and very well taken care of by Yi and we will certainly request her on our next holiday!”

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens and other farm animals since I was a child. I have been doing pet sitting jobs since I was a teenager, I absolutely love pets and I miss having a dog around. Here in London unfortunately I can't have a dog, so I think dog sitting would be awesome for me! At the moment I have some spare time everyday, why don't spend it with your pet? I am currently working from home so I can arrange walks and playtime in a flexible way! We will go on walks and will have plenty of play time and cuddles. Your pet won't ever be left alone, I'll always be around to check on them. I will crate your dog if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy. I will keep communicating with you and do everything possible to give you peace of mind while your pet is with me.
“Anuja stayed at my house and dog sat for 3 nights whilst I was away. Having never left my dog with anyone else before, I was nervous but Anuja was brilliant. She clearly loves dogs and took great care of mine, sending photos and keeping me updated. The house was also kept clean and tidy which I appreciate! She’s very kind and communicative, nothing is too much trouble. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Anuja!”

“Once again, Lisa was super helpful and accommodating to my last minute booking. She always takes good care of my cat and always makes sure to send me pictures and updates!”

“Morgan was great with Albus. She sent lots of pictures and videos, left our home in great condition, and had excellent communication. We joked about giving her a bad review so we could keep her to ourselves! Defiantly a great dog sitter and would recommend.”

About: I've cared for friends' cats and dogs for years and they keep coming back because they know their pets are in safe, reliable hands. I owned dogs and cats back in Romania. Currently I live with my flatmate's cat, who I look after daily, so I'm hands on with both species regularly. Friends tell me their pets are happy, energetic and look cared for after I hand them over, which means the world to me. I'm calm, attentive and genuinely love spending time with pets and they sense it too. I send regular photo and video updates so you can travel knowing exactly how your pet is doing and I stick closely to their routines and any specific instructions you leave. Based in West London and happy to meet beforehand so you and your pet are comfortable. I am working from home and my schedule is flexible so can tailor my day around your pet's needs, whether that's morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times or extra playtime. I'm available throughout the day to respond quickly if anything comes up, and I'm happy to adjust my routine to match your pet's usual rhythm so they feel settled and comfortable while you are away. I usually look after pets in their owner's home which keeps them relaxed in familiar surroundings. Because I work from home, I bring my laptop with me and can stay around the pet for most of the day rather than just dropping in. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully on feeding, walks and routines, keep the home secure, and send regular photo and video updates so you know your pet is safe and happy. I'm calm, gentle and attentive to any signs that a pet might be unwell or anxious.
“Very grateful to Lili for having sitting our beloved Podenco. I appreciated the updates, pictures and availability to meet us earlier to make sure our dog would feel comfortable with her.”

“Bonnie did a great job looking after Luna! It was a longer than usual day away for us at a friends wedding and we were So grateful for Bonnies support, luna seemed to really enjoy it, she landed up sleeping very well after all the fun! Thanks again for the help!”


“Thank you so much Ivana for such a great cat sit! I’ve gotten plenty of pictures, you were very communicative and left my home in a very clean state - sometimes I’ve wondered if my cat was having more fun than me abroad 😂 would love to book you again, see you soon!”

“Matthew was a thorough professional. He is a compassionate and kind person and I could see he loves taking care of dogs. He put me and my pet at ease straight away and kept me updated while I was away. The home was immaculate and clean when I returned as well. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Matthew for anyone looking for a house sit.”

“Lola was incredible with my dogs. She’s loving and warm but can also take charge and keep them in line ( which mine need) both my dogs are high energy and she had no issues managing the two. She is very responsible and communicative. The dogs loved her!”

“Zoe was amazing with our dog, Aggy. She jumped in very last minute for an overnight stay, kept us up to date with texts and pictures. She took great care of Aggy and our flat, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again or recommend her to others.”

“Ashweja has been a pleasure to have taking care of my dog. She made sure she understood Coco’s needs and likes and what I wanted from her when spending time with Coco or bringing him out on a walk. Ashweja kept me update throughout the day with pictures and messages. Will have her in my list for whenever I need help, definitely recommended!!!”

Alice was really lovely - so communicative, calm and confident. A joy to have her take care of our Rupert. When I came home, he didn’t immediately run to the door as he was so content with Alice which so good to see! Will definitely book again. Thank you Alice! Rupert, Rose and Ferdie 🐾🐼

I can’t recommend Lisa enough! She is wonderful kind thoughtful, always providing updates and making sure my Marta was well looked after! I am pretty sure my cat was a bit disappointed I came back! She really made my holiday relaxing with my mind at ease knowing my cat is being cared for. I just hope she will be available when I am next away, I have no worries anymore! Thank you so much Lisa!

Kon did a lovely job looking after our girl, an energetic and cuddly 2 year old Lab. It was her first time with someone she didn't know. No worries! She had a great day. Kon sent us lots of pictures, arrived on time and they were relaxed when we got back. I would highly recommend Kon and will definitely look to book him again.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our cat whilst we were away! Elaine stayed over our flat whilst we were on holiday to look after our senior cat, Popi, and sent us daily messages, and video and photo updates to let us know how she was getting on. She did such an amazing job taking care of her, Popi always looked so happy and relaxed with Elaine. Our flat was also in perfect condition when we came back. I would highly recommend and I’ll definitely ask Elaine to take care of Popi again in the future! Thanks so much again! 😊❤️

Alessandro took wonderful care of our dog, Rio, while we were away. He went above and beyond, taking Rio on extra walks and making sure he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for in our absence. We had complete peace of mind knowing Rio was in such good hands. We highly recommend Alessandro and would happily book him again!

Sam is an amazing cat sitter and house sitter! She made a great bond with our cat Luna. We had regular communication with updates and photos/videos. Knowing Sam was spending plenty of quality time with our cat helped us feel at ease. On our return we could tell she clearly had made a lot of effort to take care of our place and left it super clean. Thanks very much Sam!
My dog had a great time with Flora - he was a happy and tired (in a good way!) boy when we got back home from holiday. I definitely appreciate Flora taking him places with her, it was a good mix of adventure and rest for him. Our flat was clean and the dog content, couldn't ask for more!
