“Beatriz has petsit Totoro and Ginger a few times now, and they love her (waiting for her by the door!). She takes great care of then with alot of play and cuddles involved. I feel at easy traveling and knowing she will drop by to see then and provide a nice report of how things are going. I strongly recommend Bea to take care of your pets.”


“We are very excited to have Sara taking care of our senior mini yorkie Cleo! Sara clearly has a love for dogs and Cleo was very calm around her!!”


“Hana was wonderful with my puppy. She was attentive and made him feel safe and happy. She was so accommodating and punctual. Would not hesitate to use her again.”


About: I started looking after dogs during Covid and haven’t stopped since. I’ve helped neighbours, friends, and family with walks, feeding, and occasional overnight stays. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to older, slower dogs who just want company and a calm walk. I take a steady, relaxed approach. I follow your routine, keep things simple, and send regular updates so you know how your dog’s doing. I treat every dog like my own. I’m currently between jobs, so I’m available full-time to look after your dog. Weekdays, weekends, early mornings or evenings — I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule. I live in a ground-floor flat with parks just around the corner, so there’s plenty of green space for walks and play. I don’t have any pets at home, so your dog will get my full attention. I’ve had animals my whole life and genuinely love being around them. I also have a car, so I’m happy to travel or take your dog out for longer trips if needed.

“Isabelle was an amazing sitter! Very accommodating, flexible, and went above and beyond caring for our cat and home. She sent lots of pictures during visits as well as detailed updates. If she ever encountered something unexpected she’d always ask us and confirm. And the best part, my cat loved her and has a new friend 😁 Really can’t recommend her enough!”


“Eka was punctual, attentive, and kept me informed with regular updates, including videos and photos. It was clear that she took great care of my pups, and I would absolutely welcome her back in the future!”


About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life especially since I was 10 years old. I’ve had 6 dogs throughout the years, most of which were rescued dogs. I have volunteered at dog shelters and have dog sitted in Marbella, Spain, where I grew up. I’m currently in between acting jobs so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I am available every week day and most weekends! I live alone in my flat in Chelsea, I’m very close to lots of parks and gardens, I’m very happy to dog sit at your home too!

About: I love animals and especially dogs ('the bigger the better' for years but now have an even keener appreciation for small dogs) In Ireland, I owned a Rottweiler (King), Labrador (Duke), Border Collie (Prince), German Shepherd (Omen), and been longterm carer for Siberian Husky, Norwegian Elkhound, Chihuahua, Cavalier King Charles and other breeds I love the variety of all dogs and don't mind / enjoy a dog that is a bit rambunctious or has plenty of character. I am very flexible with my time at the moment - so am happy to meet and mind a dog to take me for walks and teach me new tricks. Look forward to meeting you. I'm fully flexible so pooch is my priority. I love all animals and have had many pets but am most familiar with a variety of dogs . Our house has totally natural wooden floors and is bright and airy. I have a large garden (love gardening and digging dogs even sometimes help :-) And a spare room with rug and sofa for a quiet space if needed. I know plenty of dogs and local pets in the area also to socialise if desired.

About: I’ve a beautiful Shih Tzu Sophie who’s the absolute love of my life. I have also fostered small puppies, done pet sitting for Shih Tzu’s and golden retrievers. Most of my friends and family whose dogs I’ve looked after tell me I have a very natural way around their pets. I’m currently in London as a student and looking forward to spending time with your furry baby. :) My dog is exclusively fresh fed, so I can also help with preparing fresh meals for your pet. I’m available full-time on weekends and for morning walking during the week. I will be completely available during Christmas break. I’m available for early morning walks during the week and full-time l during the weekend. I’m a student so caring for pets will fit perfectly into my routine. I’d love it if we did a trial meet up before a walk or boarding as it’ll allow both your pet and me to get to know each other. I can crate the pet, brush and comb dogs once I’m comfortable with them, carry out vet visits. I can also help with cooking their meals.

About: I’m a responsible and caring dog lover, currently training for the London Marathon 2026. All proceeds from my dog walking go toward my fundraising goal for Ataxia, a charity close to my heart. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler pace. Whether your dog needs a lively walk, a relaxed stroll, or just some company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Every booking supports a great cause. Thank you for helping me make a difference, one paw at a time. 🐾🏃♀️ My schedule varies day to day, so please feel free to message me with the days and times you’re looking for. I’ll always do my best to work around your needs and fit you in! I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding routines to walking preferences and medication if needed. I’m also happy to send updates or photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I grew up with my dog Bond and have always felt a deep connection to dogs and animals in general. I trained my dog from when he was a puppy to be well behaved in any situation and I trained the rescue dog we got a couple of years ago. My Bond is now a senior dog and needs a little more attention and I have learnt how to give that with time. I started dog sitting while I was job hunting after I finished my masters degree and it was such a great way to spend my time and have some lovely company. I now work full time during the week but am always looking to spend time with a furry friend during the weekend! In my home dogs are pretty much free to roam wherever they want. I live a three minute walk from Hyde park so always have access to some green for them to stretch their legs and have a sniff around. At somebody’s else’s home I am dedicated to following their rules.

About: With a lifelong love for dogs, I've grown up surrounded by canine companions, learning their quirks and needs inside out. Over the last two years, I've been looking after my neighbour's dog twice a week, treating them to fun-filled days and cosy overnight stays. With plenty of long walks and lots of cuddles, I've built a strong bond and a happy tail-wagging friendship. Working as a writer from home gives me the flexibility to fit dog care around my schedule seamlessly. I'm always happy to accommodate the needs of pets and their owners. Whether it's a walk in the park or an overnight stay, I'm here to ensure every furry friend gets the attention and care they deserve. I live in a spacious home just a stone's throw away from Hyde Park, offering a beautiful and convenient location for your furry friend. With ample room to roam and explore, coupled with the park's proximity, there's no shortage of space and adventure for your pet. Additionally, my large kitchen provides plenty of space to accommodate crates comfortably, ensuring your pet feels right at home during their stay

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, fostered a few, and now have my own friendly pup - so I know how to give dogs the care and love they deserve. Whether you’re away due to vacation, work, or other reasons, my aim is to understand your pet's needs and your comfort levels when leaving them, including communication frequency and pictures. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so your dog will get plenty of company those days. I’m just a 5-minute walk from Holland Park and 10 minutes from Hyde Park. I also have my own fenced backyard for safe playtime. I provide lots of love, regular walks, playtime in the backyard, and a calm, safe environment for all types of dogs to thrive happily together.

“Marlene was the best sitter we have ever had! She took great care of our Charles and updated us with lots of photos and videos everyday. She went above and beyond with taking care of our flat for us as well which was greatly appreciated. Not for a second did I worry that Charles wasn’t be well attended to. Can’t wait to use her again in the future! Thank you Marlene!!”

“Diego came for five daily visits for our cat Samba. He was great! Despite having a natural preference for dogs initially, Samba directly like him and they play together. I would recommend Diego for sure and would not hesitate to contact him if needed in the future!”


About: Hello, my name is Ruby 😊. I am 27 and live in Earl's Court. DBS checked. I have had dogs all my life till about 2 years ago, my little border collie (Poppy) sadly passed from old age and my parents decided not to get anymore. I grew up on a farm with LOTS of animals, from dogs to goats, sheep, cats, geese and even ferrets! We had two beautiful Dobermans, one mum who I grew up with from a baby. And her daughter who was sadly returned to us from an elderly couple who could not handle her energy. My parents bred the mum once so our home was filled with 6 gorgeous energetic pups at one point, which I loved to help with until they were homed. Later on we then had 2 beautiful border collie puppies which I helped train and care for. I love animals and miss having a dog. I am hoping to get my own little one soon which I can bring with me and socialise as I meet your own lovely dogs 😊. I am at home most of the time and would love to spend that with a little companion. I will give your pet lots of love and attention and they will be well looked after. I am currently working part time so have plenty of free time during the day and can always have your fur baby to stay if you need I live very close to Holland Park and Brompton cemetery. I like to run most days so they’ll get plenty of exercise (if you’d like). I live on a second floor flat which has a private courtyard before the main road.

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. I have just wrapped up my masters at Cambridge and I work during the week, but fully remote and flexible hours, so I can either stay, or pop in, depending what your preference is. I have a secure flat, with light and a small garden outside where I can take care of cats. I am caring, attentive and get on very well with animals.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life from Labradors, Beagles, Chihuahuas, and Pomeranians (we had 14 at one point!). I've cared for dogs through every stage, from playful puppies to loving seniors. Right now, I have one sweet Pomeranian who's 8 years old, neutered, and truly my best friend. I’ve looked after the dogs of close friends and family and always treated them like my own. What sets me apart is how personally I take each dog's wellbeing. I treat every pup like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm experienced with training puppies, understanding senior needs, and everything in between. To give each dog my full attention, I only take one client at a time, your pet will always be my top priority. I will mainly be accepting smaller dogs and puppies, as that’s where most of my experience and comfort lies. If you’re unsure whether your dog is a good fit, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to chat and see if it’s the right match! I'm currently finishing my master's degree from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I can be fully present for your pup throughout the day, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. We have a lovely park nearby for outdoor time, and I'm happy to follow your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease. Just let me know their schedule, and I’ll adapt to meet their needs. We have an artificial grass backyard that's perfect for running around and getting fresh air. Inside, your pup is welcome to relax on the couch or any furniture, they're part of the family here, and there's always time for cuddles or movie nights! Safety is a top priority. I supervise play and outdoor time, keep all pet supplies clean and accessible, and ensure the environment is calm and comfortable. Whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated regularly with photos so you'll always be updated!

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/anthoe26305 -£15 off first booking I have always had dogs growing up and have looked after almost every breed from miniature daxies, labradors, rottweilers to greyhounds and cockapoos. My brother has a miniature daxie, Frankie, (she is the one pretending to be cute in my profile pics). I regularly look after her at my flat or at their house. My girlfriend, who I live with, has also grown up with dogs and they have 2 black labs, (Pablo & Angus) I look after both of them when I can as they are the goodest of good boys. Although I have not completed any training courses, one of my friends is a dog handler and he has given me a variety of tips and tricks to help with discipline and support. I have an extremely flexible job that allows me to work remotely from wherever I like. This gives me the freedom to work at your home with your doggos and the ability to go for long walks when required. I will need 24 hours notice so I can manage my calendar effectively. I live down a very quiet Mews Street well away from the road. I have enough space to look after well-behaved dogs. I am 10 mins from Hyde Park and Holland Park for some fun dog walks.

About: I've always owned or looked after pets (specifically cats an dogs) and have experience caring for animals with specific health requirements as well as those who've had a tough start to life. I would be available to house-sit for animals, accommodate morning or evening walks and pop in to let them out/ feed them during the day (subject to their location). I would prefer to care for animals in the comfort of their own home but am happy to assess this on a case by case basis.
