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.

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.
“Wow what can I say. It was a little daunting handing over my keys and placing Cassie and Perse in the care of someone I’d only met once before. I had no need to worry Sophie was amazing. I had regular daily updates and sooo many wonderful pictures. Sophie is a great communicator, warm, friendly and above all loves my cats. I highly recommend her.”

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: 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 :).
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, animals were always part of our family, and throughout the years I've looked after pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for both large and small dogs, from powerful breeds like Rottweilers to little Yorkshire Terriers, as well as many cats over the years. Our most recent family cat, Nina, was with us for 14 wonderful years, giving me first-hand experience with every stage of a pet's life, from playful kittenhood to senior care. With over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Friends and family describe me as caring, enthusiastic, attentive to detail, and reliable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of affection, patience, and the individual care they deserve. I currently work part-time as a Pilates instructor, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Spending time with animals has always been something I truly enjoy, and caring for pets is a wonderful way to use my free time while doing something I am passionate about. I am able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care, making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and well looked after while their owners are away. I always prioritise safety, comfort, and each pet's individual needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know them and follow their usual habits as closely as possible. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting them in their own home, I provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment. I pay close attention to details such as feeding schedules, medication if needed, exercise routines, and any special instructions from owners. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.

“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!”
“Sam and Coco were amazing. Very detailed and thoughtful visits and reports. They clearly cared for Oreo during what turned out to be an eventful and at times difficult sitting. I very much appreciated their going the extra mile. Communication was above and beyond. Will definitely use again and will highly recommend.”
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

Would recommend her to anyone and definitely book her again! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pets!”

About: Hi everyone! After a recent move, I’m now available in Hampton Wick and the surrounding areas. And after an even more recent job resignation I am now available midweek for all your dog care needs! 🐶 Before returning to the corporate world, I spent 3.5 years working in both outdoor (field-based) and indoor doggy daycares. Prior to that, I volunteered as a community dog walker with the Blue Cross charity. I’ve also grown up with family dogs, so I can safely say I'm confident and equipped in caring for and walking dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities...from energetic pups to the more chilled out senior citizen (dog!)🐾 Before booking- I’m happy to arrange a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure you and your pup feel completely comfortable.

Caroline is lovely and very professional and reliable sitter. She looked after our very shy cat brilliantly, respecting the space our cat needs and keeping us updated throughout our holiday. We did not have to worry at all and I would highly recommend her! Thank you Caroline!!!
Frankie took wonderful care of my cat while I was away! Communication was great throughout — I got regular updates and photos, so I never had to worry. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat. Would absolutely book Frankie again and highly recommend to any cat owner looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Samantha was wonderful watching our two fur babies. She was thorough at the initial meet and greet, ensuring she had all the information she needed regarding vets, feeding, playtime, etc… She provided wonderful updates and photos for each feeding which offered reassurance they were in good hands. Samantha is compassionate, kind, patient, and reliable; I would easily ask her to watch the kitties again.
Gabriela has completely changed my view on pet sitters. In the past, we have not had good experiences and have found finding a sitter to be very stressful. Gabriela has been so reliable and we enjoyed our holiday so much more knowing our cats were well looked after. We received daily updates with pictures and videos and our nervous cats really loved and warmed up to her so quickly.
Sam and Coco were amazing. Very detailed and thoughtful visits and reports. They clearly cared for Oreo during what turned out to be an eventful and at times difficult sitting. I very much appreciated their going the extra mile. Communication was above and beyond. Will definitely use again and will highly recommend.
Lexi took great care of Mango, our cat, for a few days of our trip. She was incredibly punctual, reliable, and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. She kept us updated throughout her visits, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing Mango was well looked after. I highly recommend her!
Grace took fantastic care of our cat, Mango, while we were away! She gave us complete peace of mind during our first time leaving him. She looked after him so well, sticking to his dinner routine, setting up his breakfast feeder, and making sure to include plenty of playtime. We absolutely loved receiving her daily updates with photos, which we really looked forward to each day. She was reliable and communicative throughout. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I highly recommend her and we will absolutely book again!
We initially booked Tara for a couple of days whilst we were away, however we were so pleased with how well she looked after Snowy that we decided to extend the booking! Tara's excellent communication and dedication ensured that our cat was in the best of hands whilst we were away. Thank you!
So grateful to Alice for looking after Samson - she took time to be with him, sent photos and observations at every visit. As an elderly cat, Samson needed a little more tlc - Alice made it possible for us to go away with peace of mind on our family holiday. Cannot recommend enough x
Elena responded very quickly to our enquiry to look after our cat Rosy while we were on holiday, and was proactive about understanding Rosy’s needs and routine, asking insightful questions. We received many photos and notes while we were away, which gave us plenty of assurance that Rosy was being cared for very well. We returned home to a happy and content cat! Elena patently loves cats and can be trusted to look after them - can definitely recommend!
This was the second time we booked Alison, and once again, she was fantastic. Molly feels very comfortable with her, which gives us great peace of mind. Alison sends regular updates with photos during every visit, helping to build trust and reassuring us that Molly is happy and has everything she needs. I would highly recommend her.
So happy that I booked Joana to look after our cat. She took such great care of her, sending plenty of updates that o knew she was happy whilst we were away. Joana was also always very prompt so I felt reassured that our cat was looked after well Will definitely book again. Thank you!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter.
