“Sarah-Ann did a fantastic job looking after Zeus over the weekend! He had an amazing time and clearly didn't miss us at all! I would highly recommend Sarah-Ann, she's professional, clearly understands dogs and left our home in immaculate condition! Thank you again!”


4. Morgan T.

“Morgan really helped us out of a bind when we needed help. She was very accommodating and our dog was extremely happy in her company. She looked after him so well, that he was in a slump when she left. Very polite, engaging, tidy and looked after our house with great attention to detail. Couldn't recommend highly enough, will definitely use again.”


5. Bronte Catherine W.
About: I had a family dog for 17 years, so I had primary involvement in his care from a puppy to a senior dog. I have also looked after multiple dogs from my local town, including house sitting and dog walks. Further showing my passion for dogs, I recently volunteered at a dog shelter in Peru. I am currently working full time, but my job is extremely flexible on when I go into the office - there are no set or minimum days. I wake up at 6am so will be able to do a long walk then, and also at lunch and after work. I am less than a minute from Wandsworth common, so frequent outdoor breaks will also occur! I will obviously listen to your preferences on dogs on the furniture and your training preferences. We are a loving household who will give your dog lots of attention.

8. Natalia P.

“Natalia and Nico provided excellent care of our three dogs over a two week period. Very professional service, clean, punctual and great communication. Daily updates about the dogs, who clearly loved being with them. We felt both our dogs and our house was in safe hands. Would not hesitate to recommend.”


9. Jimena O.

“It was a dream having Jimena look after our puppy. Clear communication, she has a natural way with dogs and was very considerate giving him a quick clean and brush post walk and also washing his bowl. Photos and timely updates throughout. Gives good peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Will certainly be asking her to look after our puppy again. Highly recommend.”


10. Kris M.

“Kris was great with my dog Phoebe from the first moment, they deserve a 5 star! You can tell they love animals and they’re super considerate of all aspects of pet care which I very much appreciated. Will definitely book them again, thanks Kris :)”


11. Dean H.

“Dean was a great pet sitter who I will definitely use again. He was a great communicator and kept me updated at each stage. He has lots of knowledge about dog behaviour and I could tell my dog was in really great, safe and responsible hands. I absolutely trust him to do the best job looking after my dog and he will be my first choice in the future - I couldn’t recommend him more highly.”


12. Najma O.

“Najma was amazing!!.Not only did she respond super quickly,she did last minute even,staying longer,bless her than we planned ,as I was running late getting back. My dog looked super happy,I got a pic from the park, and got good communication throughout. Najma is kind and thoughtful. My dogs exercised and now curled up in her bed. Thanks Najma!!

13. Anna V.

“We booked Anna for the second time and once again we are super happy. Our pup was well cared for by Anna and she shared with us regular updates, pictures and videos for our peace of mind. Five stars!”


14. Adrian E.


“Very pleased with Adrian. He was great with Lola. She relaxed in his company and she really liked him and that is what matters to us. He was on time and did exactly what we asked. All in all a very pleasant and polite young man and would not hesitate to book Adrian again.”


15. Iacopo Tito G.
“Iacopo is a dear friend of mine and it happened several times he took care of my dog Moka when i couldn't, due to unexpected events. He is a caring person, trustworthy and very sensitive to the dog's needs. He is a huge animal lover. It's clear that being a dog sitter is a job that brings him both fulfillment and enjoyment, and your pet will be the one to benefit the most from it.”


16. Thalles D.

“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!”


17. Victoria L.

“Victoria was extremely caring towards my dog and kept me updated throughout the days as well. She took extra good care of Tuesday and really went out of her way to make him and I feel comfortable. Highly recommend her as a doggy sitter if you are looking!”


18. Margarita S.
“Margarita was an excellent dog sitter. She stayed in my home and sent pictures of my dog on walks daily. I would recommend her.”


19. Camilo Andres A.
“My experience with Camilo has been superb. In 2024, while we were travelling abroad for 15 days, we were looking for an experienced pet caregiver and a friend of mine recommended Camilo. We think it was the best decision because Camilo took great care of our dog "Tomate", a charming five years old Cocker Spaniel. He communicated very well and provided constant feedback on how Tomate was doing. He also was very responsible with the times he went out for walks and sent us fun pictures together with Tomate. I will definitely recommend Camilo to take care of our loved pets.”


20. Mariefi. K.

“Mariefi was an absolute delight! She really loved my cats and spent time to get to know them and make sure they were well looked after. She sent me regular updates with photos and videos and left my home in immaculate condition. Would highly recommend!”
