“Ada was fantastic and took care of my two beloved cats really well. We had a series of messages after her drop in visit, she sent me lots of photos of the cats and answered all my questions promptly and in detail. I met her previous to looking after my cats and she is just lovely! I felt that my cats were in very good, safe hands. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much Ada!”

“We feel really glad to have found Poppy through Rover! She has been fantastic in her care of our dog and communication with us. We will definitely book Poppy's walking and dog sitting services in the future.”

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 Claire and I am 28 years old. I’m a full-time teacher and lifelong dog lover. Growing up, my family always had dogs—two Tibetan Terriers and now a loving Cocker Spaniel puppy back home in Ireland. I’ve always enjoyed caring for our dogs—walking them, keeping up with their routines, and looking after them whenever family went away. Since moving to London, I’ve really missed the everyday joy of having a dog around. I still get so excited to visit home just to spend time with our pup, but until my partner, Jamie, and I are ready to have one of our own, I’d love to help care for yours. Jamie will also be helping with walks and any pet sitting. I’m reliable, responsible, and love forming a bond with every dog I meet—whether it’s for a weekend stay or a regular walk. I'm currently enjoying my summer break from teaching, so I have plenty of availability during the weekdays and weekends—both daytime and evenings—through the end of August. Starting in September, I'll be back to work full-time, so my availability will shift to evenings and weekend. Jamie works from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so will be supporting with boarding on these days. We love spending time outdoors and going on walks, and we'd be super excited to have a furry companion join us. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities, as well as your own. I provide a calm and caring environment, perfect for pups who need a gentle, reassuring presence. I'm based in a dog-friendly area with access to large parks and green spaces—great for relaxed strolls or more energetic walks, depending on your dog’s needs. At the moment, we are house sitting for friends, which means I’m unable to offer boarding or house sitting in our home until November. This is the only reason those services are temporarily unavailable. In the meantime, I’m fully available for dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own family pets.

About: I had experience with dogs with epilepsy, older dogs and chihuahuas, which says a lot. I am focused more on dogs well being than on training. Even though I have a lot of experience with dogs, I respect owners' rules and will follow them. I have just moved to London and have a flexible schedule, so currently, I am open to almost any time you need my services and time. I have two friendly chihuahuas who could play with your dog. Also, they are generous and could share a range of dog toys. They are not annoying chihuahuas, I promise.

“Robert arrived on time and instantly got on with Luna, our 7 month old puppy. Throughout the evening, Robert sent regular updates on Luna. We look forward to working with Robert again.”

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. I live right outside latchmere rec - a large open park and a very popular walking spot - so your pup can get plenty of playtime with the locals! :]

About: Lifelong experience, living with and raising family pets . Big and small we have loved them all. Cuddles and walks galore your fur baby will never want for more I currently work just 2.5 hours a day, Monday to Friday, and I’m available 7 days a week — so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walk time for dogs or quiet companionship and playtime for cats, I’m home the rest of the day to keep them happy and comfortable. I can stick to your pet’s usual routine and provide lots of love, care, and company throughout the day. Pets in my care are treated like family. At home, we have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor play and a cozy, calm indoor space where pets can relax. Our friendly French Bulldog loves company, and our two cats are dog-friendly and used to having other animals around. I always do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable.

About: For over a decade, I’ve cared for my own dog, giving me deep, personal insight into what pets need to feel safe, happy, and loved. From daily walks to vet visits, picky eating habits to playtime routines, I’ve handled it all with patience and care. Pet care is a meaningful part of my routine. After spending 12 wonderful years caring for my Shetland Sheepdog, I developed a deep love for animals and an understanding of their needs. Although my dog has passed, I still find comfort and joy in caring for pets as if they were my own. As a housewife with a flexible weekday schedule, I’m available for dog walks, check-ins, or companionship during the day. Whether your pup needs exercise, affection, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help with kindness, reliability, and genuine care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a pet owner's home, I always follow their instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and treat their space with respect. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, walks are done with care, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure—just like I did for my own dog for 12 years.

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: 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!

Kim F.
“Kim and her lovely team have been looking after Rocky my 3 year old Vizsla for the past year. From the moment i stepped through the door I knew I had chosen the right company. Always a smile on their faces and you can see they truly care about each and every dog they look after and understand their individual needs. Rocky normally takes a while to warm up to people but he walked in with not even a bark! For me that was the tick box i needed to say i had made the right choice. I wouldn't bring Rocky anywhere else even when I have an emergency they are always accommodating and my mind is always at rest that he is in safe hands. Great company, great ethos, great people.”
