Pet Sitting in Kingston Upon Thames

About: As lifelong dog lovers, my partner and I jump at every chance we get to spend time with our four-legged friends. While we're planning to get a pup of our own very soon, we currently spend our free time "borrowing" the dogs of friends and family to get our fix! We've previously owned dogs seperately, and have experience looking after all sorts of breeds (shih tzu, ridgeback/mastiff cross, cavabichon, english bulldog, boston terrier, cockerpoo, yorkshire terrier and many more), ranging from young puppies to senior dogs. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly apartment close to parks, pubs and plenty of dog-friendly spaces. ​Because it’s just the two of us at home, we offer a peaceful, stress-free environment for your dog where they're guaranteed ALL the attention. We're looking forward to lots of cuddles and adventures with your furry friend :) Larisa and Neve x We work 2 days a week from home with lots of time throughout our day to keep a furry friend company. Our daily routine could look like morning and lunch time walks, cuddles on the sofa and trips to local dog-friendly spots. Our weekends are full of plans where a dog would fit in perfectly, from trips to Bushy Park, Richmond Park and socialising in dog-friendly restaurants and spaces; we have a dog-shaped hole in our day to day! We have a ground floor apartment. Our local park is a 3 min walk away, we're a 1 min walk from the most dog-friendly pub around, and a short walk away from lots of dog-friendly spaces within Kingston. We have a small communal garden for your dog to do their deed on a lead and get a regular dose of fresh air. From overnight stays, to wandering walks, we're around to give as much love and affection as possible to your pup. We're able to make lots of room on the sofa and even have a dedicated dog armchair for your furry friend to chill with us.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid - from German Sheppards to Golden Retrievers, Mastifs and Dachshunds. I am a huge dog lover and always making doggie friends everywhere I go! I rescued my own dachshund cross Shaden in Slovakia when I was 17 and moved to England with him.He was my best friend and at the age of 16 passed away last year. He was super cuddly and needy and high energy in his early years but calmed down a lot as he got older. He had a few special needs towards his senior years including daily medication, physio and hydrotherapy, a pram to get around due to his arthritis as well as a special home cooked diet due to his kidneys. I also have experience dog sitting anxious dogs as Shaden could get scared of loud noises and fireworks and I would often look after other rescues with anxiety. I also shared a house with a Mastif and 2 bulldogs for a number of years so have experience will all kinds of breeds and needs :). I absolutely adore dogs and cannot imagine my life without one! I am not quite ready to get my own dog just yet after Shaden but would love to have a buddy to take out and have some fun with while you are away! Please let me know and if your dogs are used to being in an office I can also take them in for longer stays and be flexible. I commute by train and it is about a 20min commute on the train and a 20min walk each side of the station. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I have just moved into my own house in Kingston recently so am home most weekends doing some gardening or exploring the local parks and area. During Tues-Thurs I work in a dog friendly office at Google (we have loads of doggos come in!!) and I come home around 3pm every day so can do afternoon or evening dog sits. Alternatively, if your doggo is social and you are happy for them to be in a dog friendly office I am more than happy to take them in! I can be flexible during the week and work from home if requested during the weekdays too - I just need a bit of notice for this :). I have my own fenced garden and am close to Richmond and Bushy park but also have a lot of lovely walks around me. I live on the ground floor so it is easily accessible for small dogs as well as I had planned to be here with my elderly sausage dog. Dogs are my buddies and I absolutely adore them so they are allowed on any and all furniture including the bed and sofa for extra snuggles :).

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something that truly makes me happy. I grew up with four dogs and one cat, learning firsthand how much love, patience, and understanding each animal needs. I also spent several years cat-sitting for two cats, regularly brushing them, monitoring their health, and tending to any issues they had, always making sure they felt safe and comfortable. In my free time, I’m drawn to helping animals however I can. One of my most meaningful experiences was spending an entire day trying to rescue a lost, frightened dog roaming the streets. Moments like that reflect how deeply I care about animal wellbeing, especially when they’re scared or vulnerable. I believe every pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and needs, just like people. I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually and adapting my care to what makes them feel happiest and most secure. I’m currently a university student, and while my own pets are back home in Switzerland with my family, I miss caring for animals daily and would love to continue sharing that love and attention with your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority <3 As a university student with a very flexible course schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m generally available early mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m happy to accommodate regular routines, last-minute needs, or longer visits when required. I always make a point to set aside dedicated time for each pet, not just for basic care, but also for play, mental stimulation, and companionship. I believe keeping pets engaged and active is just as important as walks and feeding, and I genuinely enjoy spending that quality time with them. I take safety, responsibility, and trust very seriously when caring for pets in someone else’s home or outdoors. I understand that every pet, and every household has its own rules, routines, and boundaries. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether that means specific walking habits, feeding routines, training rules, or areas of the home that are off-limits. I’m respectful of personal spaces and treat each home with care, cleanliness, and discretion. When outside, I stay alert and attentive at all times, prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort while being mindful of their environment. I also pay close attention to behavior cues and body language, adjusting my approach to what helps each pet feel secure and relaxed. My goal is for pet owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pets, and their home, are being cared for responsibly, thoughtfully, and with genuine respect.

About: Me and my partner Carlo have loved and looked after pets from a young age.

I’ve had experience caring for both cats and dogs through having my own pets and looking after those of friends and family. I also cared for my senior cat for many years, so I’m very familiar with understanding cats’ individual personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I work from home and have flexible schedule that allows me to give regular walks and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I also live near good walking spots for dogs with plenty of space to run around I am happy to cuddle your pets, play with toys, give walks in the park near my home and provide any care necessary to the pet.

About: I’ve had my own cat for four years, and I’ve been raising her since she was a kitten, so I really understand how much care, patience, and attention pets need on a daily basis.

“Ada was great! I have a very tentative cat but I could see he was comfortable with her. She has a very calming presence which I think is very good for the pets. She sent me several pictures and put me to ease too. Great job!”

About: Pets are family, and their care and well-being will always come first ! I grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals, so caring for, loving, playing with, and walking dogs has always been a huge part of my life. Since moving away from home, I’ve really missed having furry friends around. I’m an Art student with classes only 2–3 days a week (uni is just minutes away), so I have a super flexible schedule to suit your pet’s needs. Your pet will have free rein in my home, a fully fenced secure garden, and close to the river and several lovely parks for walks. I’ll always send lots of updates and cute photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Gabriella done drop in visits twice a day for my French bulldog chance and would highly recommend her to anyone and would have her back again. She kept in contact with me the whole time sending me pictures f chance and updates even got a cute valentines picture from her off him. Lovely women and will always book with her again when needed to. Thank you so much your the best xx”

I highly recommend Trung for his responsiveness and reliability!”
