About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover 🐾 and love getting to know each pet’s personality…. whether they’re full of zoomies, a bit shy, or just want cuddles and company. I’ve had my own Whippet and Jack Russell, so I’m used to different sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I also have my own cat, so I understand routines, boundaries and helping pets feel safe and settled 🐶🐱 I studied animal care for a year, volunteered at a dog groomers and have experience with dog walking, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter changes and basic clean-ups. I’m happy to send photo updates and will treat your pet like my own with patience, kindness, care and plenty of compliments! 🥰 My availability varies depending on the service required, but as a general guide: Saturday: flexible all day Sunday: flexible all day Tuesday: 9am–1pm Monday: 6pm–10pm Thursday: 6pm–10pm🐾 Please message me directly with the service, date and times you need, and I’ll be happy to confirm whether I’m available I’ll care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their usual routine as possible. At home, I have a garden for fresh air and toilet breaks, and I also have a cat, so pets staying with me would need to be comfortable around cats. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, litter changes, cuddles and company. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and send photo updates if wanted
“This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.”

“We had Rachel come and look after our cat Felix for the first time bank holiday weekend. Was so impressed from the moment we met her on the meet & greet. Rachel done a great job looking after our boy, she followed all our instructions, sent photos of him and left the house very tidy. When we returned Felix was a happy boy. Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .”

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in a small village full of animals, and when I was 9, my family finally got our first dog. I taught him all the basic commands just by watching YouTube videos — and my love for dogs only grew stronger from there. Unfortunately, I had to leave my furry best friend behind in my home country with my parents where he loves it the most and I miss that kind of companionship every single day. Dog sitting, for me, isn’t just a job — it’s my way of reconnecting with that joy, peace, and unconditional love that only dogs can give. I also have experience volunteering on a farm, where I cared for a variety of animals and learned even more about responsibility and animal behavior. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or simply keeping your dog safe and happy, I’m here to help — with heart and care. I have a special price list for regular clients :) so if its not 1 time walk/sit we can discuss it :) I am currently working part-time and from home so I have plenty of time for your furry friends. I am fully flexible and able to take care of your doggies every single day except Sunday because on Sundays I do volunteering on farm <3 My flat is only 10 minutes from nearest park, unfortunately I don't have a garden, only shared yard and a small flat so its better for me to cuddle your dogs at your place or just go for a walk and play outside.
About: I’ve had pets since childhood — including dogs, cats, and rabbits — from energetic puppies to senior animals who need extra patience, care, and attention. For me, pets are family, and that’s exactly how I care for them: with love, respect, and dedication. I have hands-on experience with feeding, medication, hygiene, and understanding animal behavior, always adjusting to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and truly believe in the unconditional love they give us. For me, caring for them is a joy — and also a great responsibility that I carry out with the affection they deserve. I work flexible hours for a company based in another country, which allows me to take on walks or pet visits at scheduled times without any problem. During the week, I’m available in the mornings or after I pick up my daughter from school, which is also a great time for park visits and walks. I’m available to care for pets both during the week and on weekends, including for longer periods if needed, always with love, responsibility, and full attention. When I care for a pet in their own home, I always respect their space and routine, following the owner's instructions closely to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm very mindful of safety — paying close attention to doors, gates, windows, and anything that could pose a risk. During walks, I always keep pets on a leash and go at their pace, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I value open communication with pet owners and provide regular updates, photos, and notes so they feel confident and at ease while I’m with their pets. For me, the animal’s safety, comfort, and well-being always come first.
About: Back in my hometown I take care of my dog and my two cats so I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of animals! Since growing up with animals I have always been able to fit into my schedule taking care of pets as i am a very organised person. in the UK pets do not come in my home very often I said do not have a pair of my own but back home I have so many animals in my home.
“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 grew up with dogs my whole life. I take this job seriously. I can also train dogs but the simple tasks using treats for this I’m currently a university student. But my timetable is very flexible. I can do also weekends which are more suitable and more free for me. I love going on walks throughout the city and if i had company by a dog that would be really good. The safety of your dogs is my number one priority and i would never risk or do anything that can harm you or your dog.
“Clemence is a wonderful kind person and she looked after my cat Maximus just like I would have. She fed him, played with him and cleaned up after him. I was hesitant at first when using this app but after meeting Clemence, all my worries disappeared. I would definitely book her again in the future x”

“Nadia looked after Bert and Misty, they loved hzving her visit and I had a lovely long weekend away with family sith no worries. Nadia sent me updates and photos every time she went in. Thanks Nadia xx”

“Our original sitter cancelled very last minute and Pricilla got back to us very quickly. She was great with the cats, sent daily pictures and updates..would definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
“Kelly took great care of our kitten whilst we were away for the day. The updates and photos were fab and really helped us to feel confident that he had a lovely day. She also arranged a meet and greet before the day so that we all felt comfortable with the plans which we hadn't thought to do ourselves but was really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Kelly to drop in again in the future if she's happy to!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with lifelong experience caring for pets including cats, dogs, chickens and fish. I have experience with dog walking, dog sitting and cat sitting, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and needs. I’m especially confident with shy, nervous or rescue pets who may need extra patience, gentleness, and understanding. I know how important it is to help animals feel safe, comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also have a beautiful cat called Charlie who means the world to me, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care that I’d want for my own. 💗 I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting, drop in visits, and walks. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship and consistent care throughout the day. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and settled as possible while you’re away. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm, secure environment for every animal in my care. I have experience caring for both indoor and outdoor cats, as well as puppies, kittens, and older animals, so I understand the different needs at every stage of life. I’m confident handling daily care tasks such as litter box cleaning, changing puppy pads, feeding routines, and maintaining a clean and hygienic space. I also provide dog walking and enjoy engaging pets through play, enrichment, and gentle interaction tailored to their personality and energy levels. I have experience working with animals who are anxious, temperamental, or have had difficult past experiences, and I approach them with patience, consistency, and respect for their boundaries. I always aim to build trust at the animal’s own pace. My home and care approach are calm and structured, with a focus on reducing stress and ensuring pets feel safe, understood, and well looked after while their owners are away.

About: I've looked after animals my entire life. I come from a family full of different kind of animals so I care for them very well. I’m available at any time during the week and weekends so I have plenty of time to look after your fury friends! Just let me know when suits you best :) I will be walking your dogs so I will ensure that I will keep a bottle of water on me at all times and a small bowl so they can drink. I will also make sure that I carry some treats with me too and a dog toy so they can play!
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 am available most Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work Tuesday - Friday, so am unavailable in the daytime, however some evenings could be possible. Feel free to message me with any availability enquiries :) 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 have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
About: I have taken care of my dog since I was 5. I have also taken care of all the dogs inside my family, if they need a dog check-in, taking care or any need. I am happy to help! I am a student, living in London over the summer. I have a lot of free-time before and after GYM. So, with my free time, I hope I can take care of your dog. I can easily walk your dog around the parks in Hackney. I am always around London Fields, Haggerston and Broadway market. So I am familiar with the areas

Probably the 6th review I’ve left for Lois! I will always use Lois when she is available for my baby Ozzie, he loves her just as much as I love to have her look after him. She is amazing, communicates everything and can tell she has a real passion and care towards pets she is sitting ❤️

This was Ruby's second meeting with our dog Elsie after an initial meet and greet a month ago. Elsie is nervous of strangers and a little reactive. Ruby was calm and happy to go at Elsie’s pace and the pair of them went on a successful walk together ending the time with a tummy rub! Hoping to rebook Ruby to build on this relationship. Thank you Ruby!

This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.

We had Rachel come and look after our cat Felix for the first time bank holiday weekend. Was so impressed from the moment we met her on the meet & greet. Rachel done a great job looking after our boy, she followed all our instructions, sent photos of him and left the house very tidy. When we returned Felix was a happy boy. Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .

Mariya is a wonderful cat-sitter: She responds quickly, asks all the right questions about taking care of your pet, and keeps you updated with photos while you're away. She took the time to let my cat get comfortable around her when they first met, and was happy not just to stop by briefly but to give my cat some attention and affection during her visits. For what it's worth, Césarée gave her a head-butt of approval. Thanks again!
Blake helped me out last minute when I was going away for my Easter break. It was my first time leaving my kittens at home so I was really anxious but she kept me updated, uploaded lots of pictures with every visit and was amazing to deal with. We had an issue with the digital key I gave her meaning she had to ask receptionists to let her in during every visit which is extremely frustrating however she was super understanding about it. I would 100% book Blake again next time I go away. Thank you so much Blake!!

Dipali showed respect for all my requirements, and gave me regular updates (including photos) of how my pet (a cat) was doing. It was clear when she visited, and from the photos, that my often nervous pet felt relaxed around her, and she was calm and happy to engage with them. She didn't hesitate to raise a minor issue with me when she encountered it, and on return everything seemed to be in order. She contacted me in a timely fashion to arrange return of my keys. I would not hesitate to use her services again in future.
