“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.”


2. Joana A.

“Joana is always my first choice when it comes to pet sitting. She has an incredible ability to care for animals, always attentive to their needs. My cat, Olivia, is quite shy, but Joana managed to win her over. I was amazed when she sent me a photo of Olivia curled up in her lap! Joana's passion for animals is truly inspiring. I've always been impressed by her knowledge, and if she could, she’d help every animal in need. Since that's not possible, she gives her absolute best to every pet she looks after, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting Joana’s own pets, Kali and Moki, and they are absolutely adorable, friendly, well-behaved, and a true reflection of the loving care she provides.”


3. Ada T.

“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!”


4. Rhiannon S.

“Never used a cat sitter before and needed urgent last minute care for my cats. Rhiannon was swift at responding and great with my two kitties. Will definitely use for the future and hopefully with more notice next time! Thank you Rhiannon!!”

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.

“Megan is a huge dog lover and always has been . She grew up with dogs and is a wonderful owner to her own beautiful Labrador. We have a lovely Rottweiler who is nearly 5 and Megan looks after him for us whenever we go away . I can highly recommend Megan to care for and look after anyone’s dog . She is responsible and always knows their needs and different personalities. She has cared for other dogs often for friends too and other family members . There is no body better to walk or look after a dog or dogs . Megan’s partner is every bit as great with their dog and ours too along with everyone else’s dogs they live and care for .”


7. Karina L.
“Karina has been caring for my dog Nutmeg a Bichon cross for several months on and off as I have been in hospital several times. He is very happy there and loves Karina and the whole family who adore him as they do all animals. I never have any worries about him going to her as I am completely confident he is being well looked after feed correctly and kept in good condition. He also has lovely long walks twice a day in the local parks or woods of which there are many in the area which he thoroughly enjoys. He potters in the garden with her and is allowed the run of the house. Karina is a responsible caring person who adores all animals and enjoys being with them.”


8. Renee F.

10. Lucy T.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life- they make our family and I couldn’t be without them. I am a proud working cocker mum (we have two) and they are the light of our lives. I grew up with retrievers- we had 9 puppies from a pair one summer and it was the best summer of my life! I’ve grown up around rescue dogs too, including greyhounds. I am used to dogs of all sizes, temperament and ages. I know that someone unfamiliar bursting into your home can be quite challenging for some dogs. I would love to help care for your pet, I know how stressful it can be for both you and them while you have to inevitably go about your life without them now and again. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am on sabbatical for 6 months (I am a solicitor), so will be free most weekdays going forwards and more sporadically at the weekends. Depending on the needs of your pet, it should hopefully fit into my new found freedom really well. I will make sure to be a calm presence on arrival (unless your dog loves a fun greeting!) and ensure all their needs are met. I am neurotic about closing doors/ windows etc- and will make sure to take photos of whatever you would like peace of mind for. I am a very energetic and active person, so happy to take dogs that match my energy for a longer run. Equally, recovery activities are super important to me, so a lovely long plod with good smells for your doggo also sounds wonderful


11. Nicola S.
“We have 2 Yorkies whom we love beyond words, to We find it very difficult to leaving them but it's always easy when Nicola has them. She is 100% reliable and trustworthy.

Nicola gives them all the cuddles and love they need, and enjoys walks and training . She is super patient and flexible according to dogs needs. i know my 2 boys are in the best hands and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for walks or pet sitting. She is an absolute gem .”


12. Emily H.
“Emily is a very caring and responsible young woman! She grew up with dogs and is very confident and familiar around them. She also had gerbils and chickens so her life has always been surrounded by pets and she loves them. Emily is very clean, tidy and will make sure the pet's needs and routine are followed as she knows how important that is for the owners. She sends picture updates and follows instructions very well.”


13. Ganna T.
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.
14. Ruining Z.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little — my grandfather and aunt both had dogs, so growing up I was always surrounded by them. I’ve helped walk dogs regularly, both in quiet neighborhoods and busier streets, and I’m very comfortable handling dogs on leash. I’ve also helped with bathing and even light grooming like brushing and trimming fur, so I’m no stranger to hands-on care. Whether it's playing, giving belly rubs, or just being a calm presence, I really enjoy spending time with dogs and understanding their unique personalities. I’m gentle, patient, and pay close attention to how each dog feels. I understand that every pup is different — some love being social, while others need a little more space and reassurance. Either way, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I’m currently on a long holiday as a graduating student, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care every day. I live alone in a spacious 2B + study apartment in a quiet, high-end building in Kingston — perfect for pets to feel safe and relaxed. Since my roommates have all returned home, I’ll be the only one at home, which means your pet will get my full attention. I’ve also decided to only take care of one pet at a time, so I can provide focused, one-on-one care and companionship. I live in Royal Exchange, a quiet and secure residential complex in Kingston, which offers a safe and peaceful environment for pets. My apartment is a spacious 2B + study, very clean, and has plenty of room for pets to rest or explore comfortably. Since I’m currently on holiday and living alone (my roommates have returned home), I can give your pet full attention in a calm, distraction-free setting. I only care for one pet at a time to avoid unnecessary stress or accidents — your pet will get all my focus and care. If I'm caring for a dog, I’m happy to take them for walks in the nearby park upon request. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully and adjust to each pet’s needs. I’m not doing this for income — I simply love animals and want to spend my free time providing thoughtful, responsible care.

16. Paul B.

19. Jessica R.
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.


20. Mark G.
About: I have 2 dogs that I love and spend all my time with. My wife and I have raised them from puppies and trained them to be (almost) very well behaved! I work from home almost all the time so can be flexible on walks and breaks. I also walk our dogs regularly in a variety of places. We have a fenced garden which our dogs love and have free run of. The house is set up for dogs to have access to inside and outside.
