“Marion was an absolute amazing sitter for my cat Lila. She was very communicative, sent nice pictures even though Lila is very shy. She took great care of her and I am highly recommending her!”

“Annie provided a drop in visit for our dog during the hot weather and was great! Our boy took to her immediately and she provided us with updates and photos to keep our minds at ease. Thank you, Annie!”

“This was my first time using this service and particularly Philippa. I was unsure about someone coming in and looking after Coco, who is very anxious. Coco bonded straight away with her which made is easier for us whilst we were abroad. Philippa sent us updates and photos daily, which made us very relaxed. We will definitely recommend Philippa and the service and we will be hiring her again in the near future. Thank you so much for your trust and support 😊”

About: I’ve always had animals around me for as long as I can remember. Dogs especially – they’ve been a part of my life since I was a little girl. When I was studying architecture at university, I adopted my own pup (literally scooped him up off the street as a puppy – love at first sight!). After moving to London (sadly, without him), I started helping out by looking after other people’s dogs. It didn’t take long to realize how much joy and energy they bring into my life. Being around dogs just makes everything better – it’s like a little piece of home wherever I go. I am currently working full time but from home so taking care of dogs will not affect my schedule and the dog’s experience as well. I live in a spacious apartment right across from Hackney Wick Station. Victoria Park is just a 10-minute walk away, and the canal is even closer—only about 4 minutes on foot. With such lovely spots nearby, our walks are sure to be enjoyable and refreshing.
“Before we left for our trip we accidentally left the deadbolt on our door, locking Dom out. He went above and beyond helping us, agreeing to call locksmiths for us and helping to arrange everything. I can't thank him enough. For the rest of the visit Dom was awesome with checking in. He was able to get our shy cat out to play and was able to get sweet pictures with his camera. Will definitely book again if going out of town.”


About: I have grown up with pets since I was young. Over the years, I have raised 6 cats and 1 dog, and I currently have a very friendly small dog at home. I am very familiar with pets’ daily habits, behaviours, and emotional needs. I understand how to care for dogs attentively, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic training, and helping them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I am currently a Master’s student living in the Kensington area, and my schedule is very flexible. I spend most of my time working from home, so I am able to give pets plenty of care and attention throughout the day. Even when I need to go to campus, I live within walking distance from school, which means I can return home quickly and easily. I live in a quiet and safe area, only a 10-minute walk from Hyde Park, which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. My home is calm and peaceful, and I live alone, so there are no strangers or unnecessary disturbances. I also have a small, very friendly Bichon Frise, which can be a great chance for visiting dogs to have gentle company. Pets in my care will receive plenty of love, attention, and a comfortable environment to feel safe and relaxed.
“Alice is the best!! She took such good care of my 10 month old puppy Holly! She is such a good communicator and I trust her. I highly recommend booking with Alice, your pet will be in good hands!”

About: I grew up around dogs and currently have a Shiba Inu back home, so I’m very used to caring for energetic and independent pups. I’m patient, gentle and always take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs. I follow your routine closely, keep you updated, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m on a gap year, so I have lots of time and a very flexible schedule. I can do walks, drop-ins, and home visits throughout the day. I reply quickly and I’m happy to help with regular care or last-minute bookings. I live in a cosy apartment, so I mainly walk dogs and care for them at the owner’s home. I pay close attention during walks, follow your instructions carefully, and keep things calm and comfortable. Your pet will be in safe, kind hands with lots of gentle company.

“Gahae was super helpful! Even at a last minute booking she was so attentive and listened to everything i explained regarding my poorly kitty, took amazing care of him, and sent me adorable pics! Genuinely couldn’t recommend enough!!”

“Cecily was wonderful! She was so friendly and responsive. You can tell she clearly loves dogs and I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her! She took the cutest pictures and made sure to update me with everything. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Jae and Yoon are amazing! So caring and attentive, timely, friendly and brilliant companions to our pet when we’re not around. They’ve built such a lovely relationship with our cat in such a short period of time. We highly recommend them for anyone looking!”


“Ceire was super attentive even with a last minute booking and was able to keep my kitty relaxed while giving him his medicine! I really appreciate the help and would absolutely recommend!”

“Maggie has been a great catsitter, took great care of our cat while we were away. She played with him, gave him lots of attention and generally looked after him so well. Good with communication and photos, overall would highly recommend.”


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.
“Sidney was very attentive, and responded quickly when there was some confusion about the first visit. My cat Case was very good at hiding, but Sidney made sure Case was okay every visit.”

“Moani was fabulous and sent us pictures and videos every day. Our cat was very happy and she took great care of him. I highly recommend her - she was the perfect cat sitter! Thanks!”

About: I’m certified in Advanced Pet First Aid (Level 3, VTQ, CPD Accredited & TQUK endorsed) I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and cats with different personalities - from playful puppies to the calm and elderly. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I grew up with family pets and have become the go-to sitter for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve been recommended to friends of friends too, which means I’ve looked after a wide range of pets and routines. What sets me apart is my mix of practical experience and ongoing learning. I’ve read extensively on pet behaviour and training, and I’m planning on completing an IMDT qualification to deepen my knowledge. Living next door to a vets also gives extra peace of mind. I’m also hoping to welcome a Belgian Malinois into my home one day (not yet found), a decision I’ve spent years researching and preparing for. I’ve gained experience caring for a wide range of pets in the meantime, so I know I’ll be ready to give this intelligent, high energy breed the dedicated time and attention it deserves. I hope this reflects how seriously I take pet care and making sure every animal’s needs are properly met. Whether your pet needs long active walks, calm companionship, or extra patience while settling in, I adapt to their needs and treat them as if they were my own, with a lot of love, understanding and care. I mostly work from home, which means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and give them plenty of time and attention. I have a very flexible schedule, including mornings and evenings, and have often accommodated last-minute bookings. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy long walks in the nearby parks and green spaces, so energetic dogs will get the exercise and stimulation they need. For pets who prefer a calmer pace, I’m just as happy providing quiet company, playtime, or cuddles throughout the day. Your pet will never be left for long stretches - I can build regular breaks, walks, and interaction into my daily routine to make sure they’re always comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live alone in a spacious three-floor flat with a large, secure terrace that’s pet-friendly. I live within a stones throw of plenty of parks and green spaces and I’m also right next door to a vets - giving extra peace of mind in case of emergencies. When pets stay with me, they have plenty of space to explore, play, or simply relax in a calm environment where they’re never left unsupervised for long. I stick closely to their usual routines - from feeding times to walks to bedtime - so they always feel settled and at home. When I’m looking after pets in their own home, I treat your space with the same respect I do my own and carefully follow all instructions. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure your pet’s routine runs smoothly. I’ll always agree on a communication plan with you - whether you’d like regular photo updates or just the occasional check-in, so we can work together in the way that suits you best.

We can't recommend Katherine highly enough. We reached out to her with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating from the start. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals, and our Holly seemed to approve of her immediately. While we were away, Katherine kept us updated with messages and photos of Holly, which was so reassuring and gave us real peace of mind. Knowing Holly was happy and well looked after meant we could relax and enjoy our time away. When we got home, Holly was content, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Katherine was reliable, thoughtful, and treated both our pet and our home with great care and respect. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is so important, and Katherine made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We will definitely use her services again without question and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Katherine!
Jasmin is a wonderful cat sitter and we loved having her look after our two cats on holiday. She is so thorough, caring and a joy for us and our cats to spend time with. We looked forward to reading her daily report card and photos, and felt at ease with her expert care. We will definitely have her look after our boys again 🐈⬛🐈⬛ Thank you Jasmin ⭐️
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for my cat. I was away for a week, and Yi was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She took wonderful care of my indoor cat, kept in regular contact with daily updates and photos, and was always friendly, positive, and reliable. Knowing that my cat was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my holiday without any worries. Thank you so much, Yi. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter!

As always, Charlotte was amazing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that my boys were in caring hands. She really went above and beyond, and I could tell from her updates and the way she looked after them that she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. It meant so much to me, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the extra effort. I came home knowing they had been loved and looked after, and that’s the best feeling a cat mum can have! Charlotte will most definitely see them again soon😻😻
Rebecca was fantastic with our cat Frank while we were away for a few days. She went completely above and beyond, even keeping a close eye on a potential issue with Frank's eye and was super attentive. She was also incredibly accommodating when our plans changed last minute. Having her there made me feel so relaxed and reassured. Highly recommended!

She is an indispensable part of our cats’ care. Elly always treat our cats with great kindness, patience, and affection. During this visit, she not only handled feeding and litter box duties but also spent quality time playing with them. Pinot and Gris were clearly happy and relaxed, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly recommended!
