About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs, so looking after pets has always come naturally to me. I now have a corgi of my own, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing with both dogs and cats, but I’m also happy to just keep them company and help them feel relaxed while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I always try to treat every pet like my own and pay attention to their individual needs and personality. I also have experience giving medication if needed, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I already have a routine with my own dog, so adding another pet feels very natural. I’m able to be flexible with walks, feeding times, and any specific needs your pet has. Whether it’s a quick check-in, longer walks, or full-day care, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well looked after and not left alone for long. I have a fenced garden, so pets can enjoy safe outdoor time and toilet breaks. I make sure to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions.

About: I’ve had 8 German Shepherds. They’ve mostly been rescue dogs so have usually been older dogs, mostly with arthritis! I’ve had some as puppies too! I’m retired so am free a lot of the time. I have walkable access to a park and have a car so can go to anyone my local parks. I have a secure fenced garden and plenty of room for your dog indoors. I live opposite a park so walkies can be as frequent as needed.

“Evie is great, good communication, brilliant with our pooch, and she has endless enthusiasm - even in the rain. Our poodle Otis always came back from their walks a very happy and tired boy. Many thanks. 😊”

“Joana is fantastic. Could not recommend her enough to anyone! Very friendly and a very responsible dog walker. Always keeps communication open and sends cute videos and pics of Sid on his walk. Even has helped me a lot get used to the app (I’m not very tech savvy) which has been super helpful. Me and Sid are very happy !!”

“Lizzie was always wonderfully responsive, friendly, organised, responsible, efficient and prompt. She clearly has a love of dogs and a natural affinity with them. Our dog was very happy to meet her each time and I had no concerns about leaving him in Lizzie's care. Thank you!”

“We had to ask for Jessica’s help walking our Jack Russell at short notice. She was an amazing walker. Our dog always came home happy. We also got regular updates and photos of the walks. We will get in touch again when we need a walker in the future. Thanks Jessica!”

“Olena in her first meeting was professional, pleasant and pet knowledgeable. She took time to sit down with lots of great questions. We felt very comfortable trusting Olena with our precious pet.”

About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.

“We were so lucky that Ada was able to look after our 2 labradors yesterday as she is so very professional, cheerful and caring too. The dogs received 2 lovely long walks (with treats) and I was a given a comprehensive update as to how they were after their lovely day! Who could ask for more? Thank you Ada.”

I treat every dog I walk with the exact same love, patience, and attention. My Experience: I have 15+ years of experience caring for my friends and family dogs and during my teenage years caring for my own dog. Over the years, I have looked after a Dachshund, Cuvac, Terrier, Samoyed and many other. What a Walk Looks Like With Me: Safety and happiness are my top priorities.

My Schedule & Availability: I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks during early mornings, lunch breaks, afternoons, evenings and weekends.

About: Full time dog sitter. I’ve been taking care of animals from a young age and I’m very passionate about them, I took to volunteering at a dog hotel because I wanted to be in that environment and learn to care for them, and have been caring for peoples pets for a long time ! I’m currently on my summer break before my final year at university, however I have been taking care of peoples pets during my term times and always make time to ensure the animals feel love and cared for especially while their parents are away ! I have a small garden but easy access to grass areas and enriching walks if needed and have a lot of experience with caring for animals in their home or my own

Jess

About: For the first time in both our lives, childhood included, our household doesn’t have a dog in it. We have lots of experience working with dogs having spent 2 years working as full time dog walkers so are comfortable walking and looking after a whole variety of dogs, big and small, from our seniors in their twilight years to the puppies who need reminding of what their commands are! As a student, Jess has a pretty flexible schedule, it often varies but she spends lots of time at home studying and a study break to walk a dog is always welcomed! Ben works full time and looks after dogs on his days off. When making a booking, you will always be informed whether it is one of us providing your pet’s care, or both of us. We don’t have an enclosed garden but all that means is lots more trips outside. Our home is fully dog safe, we used to have a dog ourselves so we still have plenty of toys and bits and pieces.

About: My name is Sophie and I am a 34 year-old Mum of two young children and one 6 year old cat. I’ve lived and worked in the borough since 2015 after moving in with my (now) husband who was born and raised in Kingston. Before pet sitting, I worked in Design and Primary Education, specialising in SEND support. I moved into pet sitting to enable me to both spend more time at home with my boys and more time with animals, which is something I have always loved. I have been professionally pet sitting since December 2022, building upon 15+ years of caring for both my pets, the pets of friends and work colleagues. Since then, I have been lucky enough to work with 60+ families in the area and can cater for up to 6 visits a day (subject to booking availability). I am confident, caring and considerate and will always follow the lead of both you, the owner, and your beloved pets. I have helped to care for cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and would love to expand this to reptiles, rodents, fish, birds and beyond. I’m am an adaptable and receptive learner and would love the opportunity to care for your furry/scaled friends! As an owner of a disabled pet, I am undaunted by additional and adaptive needs and am happy to discuss individualised care. During my visits (of a minimum of 30 minutes), I will follow instruction and be lead by your pet (be they more playful, shy, nervous etc.) to ensure they have the most enjoyable time during your time away and you return to a healthy, happy pet. I update owners on each visit with photos and/or video updates to give you absolute peace of mind. I’m also happy to do odd jobs around the house (watering plants, sorting post, putting out bins etc.) so please don’t be afraid to ask. Please note my current hours of availability (inclusive of travel times): 07:00-09:00 Daily 09:30-11:30 (Monday- Friday, term time only due to childcare needs) 18:30-22:00 (Daily) * I am currently unable for long-term dog walking booking due to pre- existing bookings and childcare commitments throughout the year. My wonderful families often book several months in advance and my calendars are kept up to date weekly to reflect my availability * I live in the Coombe area (KT1) and am able to make visits within a 20 minute radius by bicycle (areas include Kingston-upon-Thames, Merton, Richmond-upon-Thames, Epsom and Ewell). I also have a car for emergency transportation. During my visit I will happily feed, groom, cuddle and play with your pet or, alternatively offer them a calm stroke or simply presence... whatever their personality would enjoy. I am attentive and will always do what is best for both you and your pets. I will clean bowls, top up water and food and clean litter trays as needed and keep you updated with photos and videos for your peace of mind. I am also happy to do jobs during my visit such as putting out bins on collection day and watering plants to make your life a little bit easier too. I am very happy to meet you and your pets beforehand if you would like me to be your sitter. I have a clear DBS (Criminal Record Check), which can be viewed upon request. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. It would be lovely to find out more about you and your furry friends.
