I do let dogs off the lead if they have a good recall and with owners consent. My family house has a well fenced off secluded garden and numerous parks nearby for dog walks. I can look after pets at our house or visit them at yours.
About: I’ve grown up with an English Springer Spaniel and been around dogs my whole life. Looking to use my spare time taking good care of furry pets and get fresh air in the nearby Bushy and Richmond parks. I’m currently working from home writing up my PhD thesis so would love the opportunity to walk dogs and dog sit. Available to walk your lovely dog on weekends and weekday evenings currently.

About: Me and my partner Carlo have loved and looked after pets from a young age. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and can easily follow your pet’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and feeding schedules. Keeping pets comfortable and sticking to the routines they’re used to is really important to me. I love looking after both cats and dogs and providing a safe, calm space where they can relax while you’re away. I always aim to make pets feel at home and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection so their stay feels like a little holiday. 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 been caring for dogs for around six years. My aunt has two rescue dogs, and I’ve been helping to look after them since they came into her life. I regularly help with feeding, walking and caring for them, including cleaning up after them on walks. I also often help my neighbours by walking their dogs, so I’ve had experience with dogs with different personalities and routines. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and I’m patient, responsible and attentive to their needs. When I’m walking a dog, I always make their safety and comfort a priority, while making sure they have a fun and enjoyable walk. I’m also happy to clean up after them! I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give to my own. 🐶 I’m currently a university student, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I’m usually available for dog walking during the week and at weekends, and I’m happy to arrange a time that works best for you and your dog. I’ve loved dogs since I was a child and genuinely enjoy spending time with them and playing with them. I always make your dog’s safety and comfort my priority. I have several years of experience caring for dogs and walking dogs for family and neighbours. I’m patient, responsible and will carefully follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine.
“Joana looked after Selva and Keira for a second time. The cats were very happy. Wonderful Joana is very reliable and caring and kept in touch with us so we had no worries about our pets at all and could really enjoy our trip. Thank you so much”
About: I shared my life with a German Shepherd for 15 years, so I've been through every stage of dog ownership — boisterous puppy energy, the steady adult years, and the slower, more careful pace that comes with senior care. That gives me a real feel for adjusting a walk or visit to what a dog actually needs that day, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I've also always gotten on easily with friends' and relatives' dogs of all breeds and temperaments, so I'm comfortable reading a dog I've just met and adapting to their personality quickly. What sets me apart is patience and attentiveness — I'm not rushing through a walk or visit, I'm genuinely paying attention to your dog's mood, energy, and comfort the whole time. My work involves shift patterns rather than a fixed 9-to-5, which actually works in your dog's favour — I have varied windows throughout the day and week to fit in walks and drop-in visits, including times a standard office schedule wouldn't allow. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits, I'm coming into your home to care for your dog rather than the other way round. I always confirm entry details, feeding instructions, and any house rules with you in advance, and I follow your dog's routine exactly as you've set it out — same food, same schedule, same walking route if that matters to them. I keep an eye on the home while I'm there (doors locked, nothing left out of place) and I'll message you with an update or photo after each visit so you always know your dog was safe, walked, and happy.
“Samantha was so great with Bailey! Such a doll and sent me updates with pictures of him while I was traveling and my husband was at work. Really appreciate her efforts and patience with him. He had a lovely walk and really took to Sam well. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!”
“You can tell Dominika has a lot of experience with dogs! She got on with Millie straight away and kept her happy and entertained while we were out for the evening :)”
About: I have two years of experience caring for pets and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am patient, responsible and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime and companionship, and I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure their pet feels safe, comfortable and loved. I work Monday to Friday from 10am to 5pm, but I work from home most of the time, which gives me flexibility when it comes to pet care. I occasionally need to go into the office, so please feel free to get in touch and we can discuss how I can best fit your pet’s needs into my schedule. I always treat every pet with patience, care and attention, and I will follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking and daily routines. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for at all times.
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.
“Our regular cat sitter was away when we needed to travel for 3 weeks. Luckily, we found Evie to take care of our cats at short notice. Evie is certainly experienced and very responsible. Our cats were a bit shy in the beginning, but gradually they began looking forward to her visit every day. Besides feeding and cleaning, Evie played with and petted them to cheer them up while they were all by themselves. We are very grateful that we returned home to our healthy and happy cats. We will continue to rely on Evie’s professional care when we are away next time.”
“Ada was so wonderful & helped us out quite last minute! She popped over to meet our cat, and Koda loved her right off the bat so we knew she was going to be in good hands. Ada sent the best updates (videos & photos) and was extremely attentive to Koda! We would absolutely recommend her to keep an eye on your pet!”
“Natali is a fantastic cat sitter. I felt so relaxed being away, with the care she gave my cats! She did all the basics plus played with them so they didn’t get bored. I got so many videos and photos and my cats clearly loved her.”
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.
“Sophie was incredibly reliable and easy to communicate with. She always responded to messages promptly and kept us updated every day with lovely photos of our cats, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We were so happy with the care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!”
“Annie looked after both our cats during their first ever weekend alone together, when we got home both were happy, and very relaxed, which was as definitely down to how wonderful Annie was with them - she separated them for playtime so they each had time to let off some steam and sent us loads of photos!! Thank you, Annie!!”

I would highly recommend Sophie. She was very quick to respond and we felt very comfortable that our cat was being left in safe hands. Sophie sent us daily updates and even very kindly took our bins in for us. I would definitely use Sophie again to look after our cat whilst we’re away.
We had to go away for three days while Gigi was unwell, so we were naturally worried about leaving her. Ada took wonderful care of her, gave her medication as instructed and kept us regularly updated throughout. Knowing Gigi was in such good hands gave us great peace of mind. As always, Ada was reliable, caring and attentive. We completely trust her and would highly recommend her!
Jacqueline was amazing with my cats! I was concerned finding a new cat sitter but she was fantastic. Obviously a cat person and totally got their habits, likes and dislikes. Her communication with me was great whilst I was away and I always got updates and photos on how they were which made me feel at ease. I will definitely use Jacqueline again and would recommend her to anyone.
Reina looked after my cat Fifi all weekend and I was so relaxed! You can tell she absolutely loves animals and sent me so many pictures and updates. She played with Fifi and took care of her so well. She even emptied my dehumidifier for me, which was very kind! She was also able to help me at last minute which shows how reliable and helpful she is: thank you Reina from me and from my beloved Fifi!
Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our kitty. He was very well looked after and entertained. Samantha is a very caring and compassionate person with great communication skills both with people and animals 🙂 we highly recommend her services and are very grateful that she went above and beyond our expectations to provide the best possible care to our boy.
Sil is a fantastic cat sitter and my number 1 go to choice. You can tell she really genuinely loves cats and it’s a great comfort when I’m away to know that Willow is being looked after so well. Excellent communication and lovely photos every visit. I always come home to a happy girl.
We couldn’t recommend Grace highly enough! She looked after our two cats, Chester and Duke, while we were away, and we came home knowing they had been in the best possible hands. Grace was incredibly caring, reliable and attentive, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats. She went above and beyond what we expected, not only taking great care of Chester and Duke but also cleaning out the bins and even dealing with a rather unpleasant maggot situation! It’s such a relief to have someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home. Grace did an amazing job, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much, Grace! 🐾❤️

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
