“Natalia, was amazing with my dogs, I was able to relax on my holiday because i knew it my dogs in good hands. Highly recommend Natalia, she is amazing and very nice person ❤️”


About: I have years of experience in pet sitting, having cared for animals both in my family home and for friends on many occasions. I grew up surrounded by animals – both in the city and while spending time with family in the countryside – so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I treat every dog and cat as an individual, because I truly believe each animal has its own unique personality. Walks with dogs are more than just a routine for me – they’re a great way to unwind from physical work or studying, and I make sure every walk ends with a happy, satisfied pup ready to relax. Your pet will be in good, caring hands with me – always treated with attention, patience, and a lot of love. In my routine, pets always come first – they usually get breakfast before I do! The day starts best with a full bowl and a good walk together. After that, it’s time for play and burning off some energy. Every animal needs a bit of fun and attention, and I’m always happy to provide both. I make sure feeding times are on schedule and strictly follow the owner’s instructions. Walks are done at a pace that suits the dog – whether it’s a power stroll or a sniff-around adventure. And when the dog’s had enough running and fetching, we can always chill out together and watch Lassie Come Home – emotional support goes both ways, after all. I am not offering boarding for full time but can give them chance to rest in my garden etc because I am just renting room in sharehouse.

About: We are a dog loving family, with over 10+ years of experience with dogs, from puppy to senior dogs. We take safety of your dog very seriously and will ensure your pooch relieve the care and attention they deserve. Me and my husband both work from home with flexible working hours so are able to provide plenty of cuddles and play time for your fur baby. We will treat the dog however you do at home and can provide as much potty breaks and walks as required. We have a 10 month old labradoodle called Nala who is very spoilt doggo, she can be excited when first meeting another dog but calms down after a short period. It's important to us that the dogs get along so would prefer to have a meet and greet for boarding and day care.

“Amelia did a drop in visit for me while I had to go into the office. She did some fab training with Otis and even managed to get him down for a nap to avoid him being over tired. Absolutely ideal!”


About: I have always had a great conection with animals, having grown up with a labrador and a cocker spaniel. Since my mum adopted a beautiful and playful dachshund, I realised I would love to spend more time with animals but my living situation makes ownership impossible at the moment, so I would love to come make life easier for you while allowing me to meet new people and animals! Advanced DBS checked ✅ I work shifts in NHS psychology. Each week, I can dedicate time specifically to pet care. I prioritise morning and evening walks, and I can structure my day around making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their families are away. Whether it’s mid-day check-ins, exercise, or quiet time together, I make sure your furry friend is my top priority. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always keep an eye on pets during playtime and walks to ensure they’re protected from potential hazards. I use your chosen leashes, collars and harnesses for walks and avoid risky areas. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they deserve, whether in your home or out and about.

About: I have cared for and looked after both dogs and cats from a very young age ensuring their feeding times and needs are met and walks are complete, along with this I am a qualified animal care professional with a passion to pursue my career in animal care. I often try to get out for walks daily as a way to take care of my own health so having a dog a accompany me on these walks will only make it better! I have grew up caring for cats and kittens and know everything there is to know when it comes to caring for them. Listen closely to the owner’s instructions to ensure all the pets needs are met all whilst providing them with all the love and attention they need.

About: I have been around dogs, rabbits, hamsters,lizards and more since I was 10 years old. have been responsible for their healthcare, grooming, walks and little bit of training. I am a trained snake handler.I have a lot of experience in managing dogs with anxiety and behavioural issues. I am currently working from home, thus am available to take the pets on walk as per their requirement along with giving them time and affection. I also make sure to get some physical activity in the backyard with the pets. In generally like to keep the schedule as similar to their home for a smooth transition for the pets. I am the primary carer, and I live in a independent house with two of my friends. We are all animal lovers and well versed with taking care of your pets. We have a fenced backyard and friendly neighborhood, we have multiple parks around as well.

About: Since I was young, I’ve been surrounded by all different types of dog breeds! (I even have a dog myself). I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am very patient and believe that all animals deserve the best physical and emotional care. At the moment, I am currently working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays, meaning I’m free in the week to help out with your fur babies!! If I am needed to go into your home and look after your doggies, I will always make sure they feel at ease and comfortable whilst I am in their home. I’ll make sure to give them lots of affection and treats if allowed. 🐾

About: I have a cocker spaniel named Winnie who I’ve raised since he was a puppy in February 2023. He’s taught me so much about patience, routines, and the unconditional love dogs give. Looking after him every day has shown me just how much joy and comfort dogs bring to our lives. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family - with kindness, care, and lots of love. Whether it’s a gentle walk or some company while you’re away, I’m here to help your pup feel happy and safe. I work from home full-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care around my schedule. I plan my day so I can step out for walks or drop-in visits during mornings, lunch breaks, or afternoons - depending on what suits you and your dog best. Weekends are usually free too, so I’m available for longer walks or extra visits if needed. Having my own dog has made pet care a natural and rewarding part of my routine - it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I care for each dog as if they were my own. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to suit your dog’s needs — whether it’s a relaxed sniffy walk or something more active. I make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and enjoy their time out, always using secure leads and paying attention to their body language. During drop-in visits, I can help with feeding, playtime, toilet breaks, or just keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I do my best to follow yours closely to help them feel at ease. Whether I’m out walking or popping by for a visit, I make sure to send updates so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for.

“I can say with upmost confidence, Aleksandra is probably one of the best sitters on here. we booked super last minute and we didn’t get much time to talk about the specifics of the care for our cats as they can be a handful at times and require things to be done a certain way. Despite this she was just a natural around my shy cat, she was very professional and I trusted her completely to drop in and to make sure our cats were happy and healthy. I can tell she really cares and has a passion for working with animals. We will always book with Aleksandra indefinitely until she is either busy or stops pet sitting. Thank you Aleksandra 🫶”


About: I currently work at Dogs Trust, so I've got lots of doggy experience, of all breeds, shapes and sizes. I've also had lots of experience working in other rescue shelters across the world, such as in Asia, South America and in Europe! I have done dog sitting for friends and family and send regular updates and photos to make sure the owner can relax, knowing that their pet is happy and safe :) I completed an Animal Behaviour and Welfare Degree at University and have always had a keen interest in animals! I'd say that animals are better companions than humans (lol). I've volunteered at a Canine Hydrotherapy Pool which was very interesting to be a part of and also worked at a dog training and boarding kennels, so I feel I have lots of experience working and being around dogs :) I work part time, and my work schedule changes weekly, one week I work 3 days, the next week I work 5 days. I also work every other weekend. So my schedule is pretty flexible as I am available weekdays and weekends. I am also flexible with my evenings after work! So just give me a message and I can see if I am available:) (Even though I have marked some days as unavailable, this just means I'm at work during the day, free in the evenings! So please message me for any availability:) ) I am patient, attentive and caring, so always giving your doggo the best time, whether that is popping round for a visit, a play and toilet, or having a nice walk in the park. I love an adventure and love walking so I'm very happy to walk! If your dog prefers a more chilled atmosphere, I am also more than happy to relax at home. I have walked many dogs in public and non public spaces, so I am confident walking your dog on lead. I can also be trusted in your home with your dog (I have had many responsible roles in the past, I was a keyholder and managed a shop by myself). I am always happy to answer any questions about myself.

About: I spent my childhood on the farm where I lived with cats and dogs. I spent more time with animals than with people, and this made me love animals a little more than people.

Rachel W.
“I would just like to say what a professional attitude Rachel has towards the pets in her care. She has home-sat for our 2 DDB/Rotty crosses and they love her so much that they didn't want her to leave! She is a very caring and thoughtful person and we would certainly prefer to leave our dogs with her rather than any kennel or boarding home. We are looking forward to her staying at our house to sit with our dogs while we are away on holiday.”

Konrad T.
“I’ve been using Konrad’s dog walking services for several months and couldn’t be happier. He’s reliable, kind, and clearly has a natural way with animals. My dog is always excited to see him and comes back from walks happy and calm. Konrad adjusts each walk to suit my dog’s needs and keeps me updated with messages and photos. It’s obvious he truly cares and takes his work seriously. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog walker.”


Dipali D.
“Dipali is second to none when it comes to nurturing, loving and being a parental figure to any pup. She has been so helpful to my dearest Lab' Simba, especially with her own gorgeously growing labradoodle Nala! Helpful beyond words even more so now to my family with another new Rhodesian Ridgeback who has just arrived into my brother's place. I can trust her at any notice to always be on hand, always full of care and such a great dog-mum from what I have grown to see. My Simba is always hesitant to leave their home after the due care and attention thats gotten and bond grown with Puppy Nala! Dipali was mummy to a tiny little toy poodle in the past who sadly passed away at old age but I can feel the nurture he must have gotten from this lady. Caters to individual doggy day care needs, wish I'd come across Rover and Dipali sooner!”

Matilda F.
“I believe that Tilly is a very responsible individual especially when it comes to anyone or any pets being dependant on her, she continually goes out of her way to give her pets the best things for them and to ensure she meets all of their needs. I know she is very passionate about pursuing a career with animals and this would be a very good stepping stone for her whilst she's continuing on her animal care courses/diplomas.”


kopal s.
“Kopal is an exceptional dog sitter. Regular updates and excellent attention, and a strong bond with my dog reassured me of her capabilities. Her empathy and dedication set her apart, making her an excellent choice for anyone seeking the best care for their pet companions. Highly recommended.”

Toni C.
“Toni became quite the hero for me and my small family when we decided to go on holiday. Angus, my dog, is my best friend, my inspiration and my closest thing to a son. safe to say i was reluctant to leave him with anyone. this included family and friends. Toni, took that uncertainty away. She not only convinced me, through her loving, approachable and super friendly manor to let him stay with her, but also showed me that you can go away when you have pets, after finding the perfect dog sitter for him. Toni kept us updated with pictures, messages and phone calls which i thoroughly enjoyed seeing. Angus was just as happy with Toni as he would have been at home with us, so i can only thank her for that. But the true testament of how good she is is the attitude and the love that Angus showed her. i am convinced if he was ever to leave home, i would know exactly where to find him, tucked up with Toni and her wonderful family. I run a dog charity and i have had years and years of experience dealing with dogs, and their people, and i can honestly say people like Toni are few and far between.”


Andres C.
“Andres was great walking my dog, he was very friendly and gave me a good sense of trust to take care of my pet. I would definitely call him again :)”

Alexandros G.Star Sitter
“I am incredibly grateful to have found Alexandros for pet sitting and dog care. Over the past year he has taken care of my [ Alex mix breed, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Alexandros has an innate ability to connect with animals, and his love for dogs is evident from the moment you meet him. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of each pet he looks after. My dog absolutely adores him and always looks forward to their time together. What sets Alexandros apart is his reliability and professionalism. He is always punctual and maintains clear communication, providing regular updates and photos that offer peace of mind when I am away. His knowledge about pet care is extensive, and he handles any situation with calm and confidence.”


Abinaya M.
“I am Bamini Mummoorthy. My daughter cared for dogs for more than 2years. She is so friendly, kind and caring with them. She knew their food, play, and relaxing time, also she can easily understand what they want. Sometimes I noticed that moments. But now she has moved UK for her studies.”
