Dog Sitting in Kingston upon Thames

“Cosmo loves Jessica. He gets super excited when she comes in, he forgets he is not with us and will happily join her for a walk. Great support for training on separation anxiety. Thanks Jessica :)”

About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was a young child. I have looked after other people’s dogs for a couple years. I have trained my own dog which has now sadly passed away. I retired this year and so I am available all week now! I am very flexible and can do most days of the week ! I have a fenced garden for dogs to play with a ball or just relax! I usually put the dogs bed my side during the day in the kitchen/living room . At night time we have an area off the kitchen where the dog has their own space and they can also be here during the day. Whenever the dog feels comfortable is fine with me. However I don’t have dogs upstairs in bed.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, from dogs to cats, to guinea pigs and fish. Although these pets are no longer with us, I still have a lot of animal love to give! I have just graduated from university and have moved back home, so have a lot of flexibility and free time to give genuine care and attention to pets! I have a fully enclosed, large back garden with a lawn. I also have a large house with space for pets to move around and enjoy!

About: I’ve always had a strong connection with dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. My mum was a professional dog carer when I was growing up, so I was constantly around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That early exposure gave me a deep understanding of how to read and respond to different dogs' needs. As an adult, I regularly look after my parents' Irish Terrier—a smart and spirited breed that’s not always the easiest! I’ve also helped out at a dog boarding and training center, gaining valuable experience with a variety of dogs and their routines. I was responsible for training the dog I grew up with, attending puppy classes and continuing his care into adulthood. What sets me apart is a mix of lifelong experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I'm currently on a career break after working for 11 years in London, so I have plenty of time and energy to give your dog the attention they deserve. As I'm taking a career break starting July 1st, I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need regular weekday walks, weekend stays, or last-minute help, I can usually accommodate it. I'm committed to making pet care a meaningful part of my routine while I take this time away from full-time work. I’m highly responsible and treat every dog as if they were my own. My home is a calm, safe space with a fully fenced garden—perfect for dogs to explore and play securely. I always tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that’s in my home or yours. I’m used to dogs with strong personalities and understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of affection. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: From an early age I would always beg my family & friends to be able to walk their dogs, and would be out for hours walking & playing with their dogs when they let me. I would make the lengthy trip to stay with my gran so that I could cuddle up to her two labradors. I would always be out in the garden playing with them, and I helped care for them when they got ill. When my friends go away I tend to go over and look after their dogs, feeding them, washing them, walking them, and having fun with them! I work part time, so can fit all dog walking around my schedule in order to benefit you & your pet! This also means I can be available last minute. Whether it’s an early walk, a late walk or any time of the day, I will ensure they get a lengthy walk, some good exercise, have some fun, and not come back too dirty! From my experience of looking after animals and pets I know how important it is to follow the owner’s instructions, as they know best, in order to keep the pet safe and comfortable! Whilst walking your pet they will always have my full attention, especially on main roads and when off leash. I will care for them as if they are my own!

About: I own a friendly cockapoo and have previously owned family dogs and cats all my life growing up. I have experience looking after many dogs, but especially cockapoos and puppies! I think it’s good for dogs to spend time with other dogs to get them used to them. I’m an affectionate lover of animals and would be happy to put proper care and time into looking after your dog. I’m female, aged 30 and currently working from home 3 days per week (my partner works from home the other 2 days) and i’m around most weekends so can be flexible for your schedules. I have plenty of good parks and walks around me so great for doggos - I like to keep it different each time to give them variety! Happy to drive and pick up dogs if you’re a bit further away. We have a ground floor 2 bed flat with a fenced garden. Whilst working from home, your pet won’t be left alone and I’m happy to put in time and care to ensure they have a great time! Our garden is fenced, has some grass and is perfect for toilet trips. We allow our dog to sit on sofas and furniture as we love cuddles but happy to flex to your requirements.

“Wow what can I say. It was a little daunting handing over my keys and placing Cassie and Perse in the care of someone I’d only met once before. I had no need to worry Sophie was amazing. I had regular daily updates and sooo many wonderful pictures. Sophie is a great communicator, warm, friendly and above all loves my cats. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, I’m Cheryl, a pet lover from Hong Kong now based in London. I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays to care for your furry family while you’re away. My services include feeding, playtime, gentle brushing (if they like it!), cleaning litter boxes, and providing companionship tailored to your cat’s personality and routine. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel at ease wherever you are. I’ve lived with cats all my life and currently have an 11-year-old Maine Coon–Chinchilla mix named Luna, who’s staying with family in Hong Kong until I move out of shared housing. I also regularly help care for my partner’s cat, a sweet and sassy calico. In addition to my personal experience, I volunteered with several animal rescue groups in Hong Kong, caring for rescued cats and dogs with a wide range of temperaments. This has taught me how to approach animals with patience, respect, and understanding. I work remotely as a part-time editor for a Hong Kong magazine, so my schedule is very flexible. I can offer daily care of up to 6–8 hours, or overnight stays if needed. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or just enjoys a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your lovely pet and being someone you can trust to care for them like family. 😻 Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my weekly routine. As a part-time magazine editor with a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my day around pet visits. I love spending quiet, focused time with animals, it’s both grounding and fulfilling. Whether it’s daily check-ins, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping a cat or dog company, I’m happy to make it a part of my regular day. I always prioritise their comfort and routine. I make sure they’re well-fed, have fresh water, a clean litter box, and enough playtime or quiet companionship, depending on their personality. I respect each pet’s space and pace, and I also send photo updates to the owner for peace of mind. I approach every visit with calm energy, patience, and attention to detail, making sure the pet feels safe and cared for while their owner is away.

About: As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals -dogs, cats, hamsters, and birds, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience in pet care. Since I was 11, friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets, and I’ve always provided reliable, loving, and attentive care. While I adore all animals, I have a special place in my heart for energetic, playful pets who love to engage and explore. I’ve grown up with dachshunds (and still have the cutest wire-haired one in the family!) and now they’ve become a bit of a special interest for me 🐾 I am a part time waitress, with plenty of time on my hands. I am available 5-6 evenings each week, and spend the majority of my time at home, giving me plenty of time to spend with your lovely animals! Living right beside the riverside and multiple green spaces gives me plenty of opportunity for enriching walks, whilst the pet free home environment allows for a calm space for shy animals.

About: Hi, I'm Lucas and I love animals! I currently own a sweet black cat - but I absolutely love dogs and would love to spend time with your's! I currently work remotely full-time as a software engineer, so I will have plenty of time and energy to give your pet the love and attention they deserve.

About: I’ve grown up with family animals including cocker spaniels, a springer spaniel, mixed rescue dogs. We have also fostered dogs temporarily while they find a forever home. I am currently working full time and therefore don’t have my own dog, but would love to have them in my life after work and on weekends. I am happy to be guided by the pet owner in their home. I appreciate that different animals may require different measures to be adopted.

About: For as long as I can remember I’ve had dogs. My first dog was Snoopy, a greyhound saluki cross, we got him when I was about 2. We then got an ex racer greyhound called Babs. When they both passed at the age of about 16, we then got a Springer called Bella, who’s now 8. I’ve always had dogs around me, they’re such a constant in my life. Whilst I’m at university I don’t get to hang out with dogs as much as I’d like. I love caring for dogs and have a lot of experience caring for big dogs and for small dogs, puppies and cats. I can drive and love going for long walks, or just hanging out with a dog on a cosy rainy day :) Im currently working part time making pizzas, so I’m frequently available for dog walks and dog sitting. My shifts vary each week, but I mainly work evenings. In my home I have a fenced garden, so usually leave the door open for my dog to feel free to go outside whenever, but if the door is shut I’m always conscious to make sure they’re okay, or need to go out, or am visibly bored and need some attention or a walk.

About: Hi! I’m Natalia, a huge animal lover and proud mum to a playful and sweet Cavapoo puppy. I’ve been passionate about animals my whole life, with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, and other animals as well. I spent time volunteering at a vet practice back in my college and continue to support animal welfare by volunteering at local shelters around Europe.

In the past, I had a gorgeous German Shepherd who lived a long, happy life, as well as raised a labradoodle through his puppy stage. I have an experience with other animals as well, as I used to own a horse, and I've got a happy 14 year old chinchilla at home, so happy to look after your rabbit/ guinea pig/ hamster and other rodents. I'm fortunate to live next to Bushy Park, offering access to beautiful trails perfect for long, enriching walks.
My Cavapoo is gentle and friendly with other dogs, making our home the ideal place for your furry friend to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup and provide them with the care and fun they deserve! I mostly work from home with some occasional office visits (very local) which I can plan and schedule myself, so I'm able to provide a continues care. I've got a 4month old, sweetest and playful Cavapoo boy who loves a playdate! I’ve got a closed up patio, and live just next to bushy Park!

About: i’ve been passionate about all animal kind since childhood. i grew up always out in nature and going to anywhere i could see animals. the highlight of my childhood was meeting my hero david attenborough! my best friend growing up was my jack russell terrier alfie. i often cared for friends and family members pets being from a large family who knew how much it meant to me to be around animals. i offer dogs lots of fun and support, i understand the individual and work to find what motivates them. i can adapt to most needs and love making dogs happy. a fun fact about me is i’m using money i make from this service to save towards my wedding - i love the idea that looking after my favourite animal can fund my special day! working from home throughout the week means that i am always local and can easily fit care throughout a day/week. myself and my partner love to go for long walks and get the most out of our beautiful local area. however, a walk is never complete without a canine companion! we’re lucky enough to live in between two royal parks (bushy and richmond) where we spend hours exploring. also always love a cosy weekend night in with a pup to snuggle and spoil. i live in a large flat with cosy spaces to snuggle down, big windows to sit at and watch the world go by and plenty of space to play. myself and my partner both work from home and can have a pet sat in a room with either of us, or free range throughout the flat, whichever is their/your preference. i am always respectful of someone else’s home, i understand it’s not easy allowing a new person into your space and am keen to honour the trust given. your home is your castle and i will treat your pets like royalty!

“Emma has been incredible with our senior girl. It’s a great comfort to me to be able to leave her in the care of someone we can trust that cares about our dog. Would absolutely recommend Emma without hesitation.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my family and loved them growing up. Me and my partner have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and even though he no longer has the time I have no plans to stop! I have had many dogs in day care and have quite a few regulars that i board now. I’m enjoy learning about animal behaviour and dog training in my free time.I do not discriminate! I love all breeds and will happily accept any breed if we are a good fit for each other. Feel free to message me for dog walking services too. If you are living in Kingston I’d be happy to walk your dog regularly. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule and a lot of free time. I also live with my partner so there is always someone home. I live in a flat with a fairly big communal garden that can be used. I also live about 5 minutes from 2 local dog parks and I’m always happy to visit bushy park or Richmond park. I currently do not drive but I am not afraid of a really long walk! As I have been doing this for a while now, I’m fully equipped with bowls, treats, toys etc. I also have enough space for a crate if needed. Having such a flexible schedule means I’m able to spend a lot of time playing and interacting with the dogs that I look after. We are always interacting and getting to know each other. I think this is why the dogs I’ve had settle in so well and usually very quickly. I do have some experience with nervous dogs and I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I’m currently working part time from home which is extremely flexible and doesn’t limit me at all. I am at home most days but I am happy to bring your dog with me wherever I go. There really is no better company than a dog or two! Even though I have mostly had bookings at my own home, I’m happy to house sit if that’s more comfortable for owners or for the dog.

About: Hello 👋 I have always had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I had my lovely dog kipps who lived for an amazing 18 years!! I absolutely loved walking him, taking care of him and other friends’ dogs. I’ve previously fed, bathed and walked neighbours/friends’ dogs and looked after cats too. I’m a big animal lover, and I thought it was about time to get some company for my walks. I work from home 2-3 times a week and also love to go on long walks around Kingston on the weekend. Having a dog around would suit me well as I love to go for walks frequently through the working day. I live in a flat on the second floor so it has easy access to the street which is a quiet street, not a main road. I live with my partner and two friends. It’s a very short walk to nearby green areas such as Fairfield park, Bushy and Home parks and of course the river. Of course, I am open to the needs of your pet so please ask if you need anything specific.
