About: I am a calm, patient, and reliable dog sitter based in Kingston upon Thames, committed to providing safe, attentive, and personalised care. I always arrive on time and take the time to understand your dog’s unique personality—what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and even which breeds they tend to like or avoid. During walks, your dog receives my full attention at all times. I adjust the pace to suit their needs—whether they prefer a slow, sniff‑filled walk, a steady stroll, or a gentle jog. My goal is to make each outing enjoyable, enriching, and stress‑free. I follow your dog’s routine closely and keep communication clear with regular updates and photos so you always feel reassured while you’re away. I am available to have a morning or evening schedule from Monday to Friday. Flexible on Sunday too! Let fix a time slot together. Cheers, I believe communication is crucial. Tell me about your house rules, and what’s best for your fur kid. My golden rule is to take it slow, build the trust with your pet.
About: Hello! My name is Marie, and I cannot wait to meet your furry family member. I have been around animals my entire life and understand that pets aren't just animals, they are family. 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. During our walks, I always keep dogs on a secure leash, avoid crowded or unpredictable dog parks unless requested, and stay highly alert to our surroundings. I love taking plenty of photos, so you can expect fun updates and cute pictures during every single service! My Schedule & Availability: I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks during early mornings, lunch breaks, afternoons, evenings and weekends.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and now have my own little sausage dog, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust when life is busy. Friends call me a ‘dog whisperer’ because I connect easily with dogs of all personalities. I have Fridays wfh and love to get my steps in. Also an early riser for early walks in the week or weekends. Happy to help with evening walks too. I will be happy to care for your pet at their own home. I believe it’s nice for them to have their own home comforts, especially if they don’t like being apart from their owners.
“Ganna was lovely and professional with my girls - she made me feel very confident leaving her to check in on them! She wanted lots of information before hand which made me feel very settled and my girls loved her.”
“I knew Annicka would be a fab catsitter as I’d looked after her cats before and saw how happy they are! I wasn’t disappointed - she is extremely reliable and sent me some pictures and updates every day. I knew that Miya was getting lots of cuddles and I came home to a very happy and relaxed cat! Thanks again Annicka for taking such good care of her!”
About: I have experienced many opportunities working with Animals from an animal hospital working towards treatment plans to support every animal get back on their paws, to more recently on a dairy farm along side my border collie who taught me a thing or two in return. I love animals and plan to continue working with them throughout my life. In Australia I was able to live and work there for 3 years through various pet sittings, and animal care, from seniors learning a new trick to potty training a 8 week old puppy I have loved every moment. I am a confident trainer able to teach both my dog and cat the same tricks using some healthy treats I make myself. I’ve recently returned home after travelling and working in Australia for 3 years I am catching up on some much needed time with my pets. I try to aim for 2 walks daily, plus enrichment tasks which leaves time for training in the evenings. Rest of the time we probably getting some cuddles in I have a fenced garden where my friendly dog and cat like to explore. My dog is very sociable and loves to make new friends. While my house is suitable for some indoor exercise, I live close by to many small and large fenced parks where I like to let my dog run around. I have experience with dogs with medical needs as well as working with anxious rescues. I can provide safety and love for all my animals
“We had another great experience with Joana! She always takes such good care of our cats, even when she is only dropping in to feed them. Thank you so much for visiting and feeding them 💖🐱🐱”
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 have experience with anxious and nervous dogs, elderly dogs, administering medication, dog physio and hydrotherapy and have done dog nutrition consultations. 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 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. *At the moment during the summer until September I am fully wfh :) * 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 :).
“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!”
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.

About: Hi! I’m Belén, an MA student currently living in London. I have shared my life with cats for all 30 years of it, and with also two female dogs, Juana and Cory, and since moving here for my studies, I find myself deeply missing these babies. I would honestly love to pour that care and energy into looking after your cat or dog. Back in my hometown, I was the trusted sitter for friends and family, but I also was an active member of a rescue organization "Ayuda 1 Gato Santa Fe", working with abandoned strays, nursing mothers, and vulnerable kittens. I have successfully raised and fostered four litters of kittens. It has been the most rewarding experience of my life, and it taught me how to stay calm and capable through the hardships and uncertainties that can come with pet care, most of all in ealry stages where life is so fragile. Whether your cat is a playful kitten or a shy rescue, I understand their unique body language and needs. My goal is to ensure your cat has a seamless, happy routine while you are away. I COMPLETELY understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind, so I am always happy to provide regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am happy to discuss rates to ensure they fit your budget, as my priority is the joy of spending time with cats and ensuring they are well-cared for. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I so look forward to meeting you and your furry babies! <3 Currently balancing my Master’s and a hostess role in Richmond, I’m looking to fill my spare time with the cat/dog interaction I miss so much. I'm highly adaptable and can accommodate your schedule and your bby specific quirks with just a short heads-up. Beside being crazy about animals, specially cats, I am a extremely reliable and responsible person. I provide regular photo or videos updates and am more than happy to assist with home maintenance like watering plants, checking mail, and light errands if that would be required.

Thank you Alice for taking good care of Milkshakeys. Very good communication and was easy for the cats to build a routine with her as she comes early and in the same time. My cats became very comfortable with her quickly. Hope we can have you again to take care of them the next time we’ll be out of town.
David is a lovely person and an excellent cat sitter. He looked after our two cats for ten days. He stayed longer than planned and was very independent. His regular updates really put our minds at ease. We plan to use his services again for our future trips. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Frangelica was absolutely brilliant with our cocker spaniel puppy Indie. Right away when she arrived I could tell she was really experienced and an absolute natural with her! I also really appreciated how responsive she was on the app and confirmed the booking with me at short notice. Thank you so much ☺️
Silvia has looked after Wanda twice now and done a great job both times. I have always felt reassured that Wanda has had a good amount of company and been cared for. Silvia has also gone above and beyond with small things like picking up parcels and bringing things into the flat for me. Thanks so much
We were delighted to have Suzy look after our two little cats for five days. She was kind, caring and very reliable. She took wonderful care of them, spent time playing with them, and gave them lots of attention and affection. We really appreciated her dedication and the care she put into looking after them. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.
Faye was an absolute superstar, she came on short notice because my little man got a little injury just before we were due to go away and kept both cats happy and healthy while we were gone. Even managed to get my very awkward cat to take his meds properly. Kept me well updated and helped stop me stressing while we were away. 110% recommend!
Excellent experience! RT walked our two large dogs while we were at work and kept us updated with his arrival, departure, and how the walks went, which gave us great peace of mind. He was friendly, professional, and reliable. We’d definitely use him again and would happily recommend him to others.
Sophie is wonderful. My cat is a rescue and naturally timid, taking a long time to warm up to people. Not so with Sophie. She quickly bonded with Sedona and was playing with her on day 2. Overall I’m really pleased (and relived!) I found Sophie. Highly recommended.
