“Chiara is amazing! She has looked after our boy Pepper and he's loved it every time. She is friendly, easy going and suprer reliable. Looking forward to have her look after our littl pooch.”

“Joanna was exceptional with looking after our 2 boys for 3 days. They gelled with her very quickly and she kept the place very organised and clean during our absence. :)”

“Highly recommend Christina! She took care of our brood of two cats and two dogs splendidly, one of them being a recently rescued sensitive sighthound. She is very communicative and sent us lovely updates. We’d gladly book her again in the future.”

“We are so pleased and grateful to have found Anna, she’s reliable, was fantastic with our two dogs and kept us updated each day. Without a doubt, we’ll go back to Anna. Can’t recommend enough. ♥️”

“We had a fantastic experience with Michael and couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the very beginning, communication was clear, reliable, and reassuring, which made a huge difference while we were away. We particularly appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Both our pets were relaxed, well looked after, and clearly fond of their sitter by the time we returned. We would absolutely trust him again in the future.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter than Dominika. She looked after my cat Riah for five days and from the very first meet and greet I felt at ease - she’s so warm, knowledgeable and clearly loves animals. While I was away, she kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos and messages, which made me feel so close to Riah even from afar. When I came home, Riah was happy, relaxed and full of cuddles - the best sign that she had been cared for with love. My apartment was also spotless, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. I felt completely safe leaving Riah in her hands and I honestly couldn’t recommend Dominika highly enough. I’ll definitely be booking her again without hesitation!”


About: My name is Valeria, and I come from the beautiful landscapes of Italy, where I grew up surrounded by animals—especially cats. They've always been a part of my life, bringing joy, comfort, and companionship since I was a child. When I moved to London, I felt something was missing. The city felt a little less like home without the gentle presence of my furry friends. That’s when I welcomed my first London kitty—and not long after, a second one joined the family. For over 12 years now, their companionship has brought endless warmth to my everyday life. They’re more than pets; they’re my best friends. Professionally, I work as a Senior Coordinator for a highly regarded domiciliary care company, supporting communities in Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea. I take great pride in what I do, knowing that our work directly improves people’s lives. Outside of work, I’m passionate about staying active and connected to nature. I love cycling through London’s green spaces, going for a jog to clear my mind, and playing volleyball whenever I get the chance. Hiking is one of my greatest escapes—there’s nothing like the peace and challenge of a mountain trail to reset and recharge. Though most of my family is still in Italy, I’ve built a warm home here in Sydenham, where I live with my husband, Salvatore. Together, we enjoy the balance of city life and moments of nature whenever we can find them.
“Nicole was a very good cat-sitter for Natalie. I returned to see a very calm, relaxed Natalie. I would have liked a lot more check-in (at least twice a day with images) - often had to check in - but this is a small thing. She was also tasked with giving Natalie tablets and was able to do this competently and on time. Thank you, Nicole!”
“Aldijana was brilliant with our whippet. So very friendly and experienced with animals. Our dog warmed to Aldijana straight away and I could see from the photo updates what a fun day they had together! Our dog is often very shy with new people but not with Aldijana and wanted to play with her. Aldijana was early - which for an 8am start was very impressive! I had regular updates throughout the day which were lovely! Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking regularly with you!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life so a house doesn’t feel like a home without one! I have a grey, 10-year-old called Pip who rules the roost. Cat In A Flat has been a lovely way for me to help out fellow cat owners and meet the cats in the neighbourhood! I also feel better knowing there are so many people in the community who can look after Pip when I’m away too!
“Lisa was the perfect sitter:) She was very quick at responding to our messages and made us feel at ease leaving our young puppy for the first time. She sent us updates throughout the day and Frankie seemed very happy when we came home. We’d definitely love to use Lisa again in the future!”

“Thank you Eleanor for taking care of our little Stanley whilst we attended a funeral. This was our first time leaving our puppy and we had no worries as Eleanor was amazing. So friendly, sent photos and updates and we will absolutely be using her again.”


“Bella is the best! They are a reliable communicator and made me feel so at ease before and during my booking. They sent the best daily pictures. My cat was relaxed and happy when I got home. Bella was the perfect fit. 10/10 recommend ”


About: Hi! My name is Anna. I live in Hither Green. I grew up with pets, although we always had dogs at home. When we visit the countryside, I made friends with cats. I was fascinated by how different their characters are. I adopted my first cat at college. He was sick and distrustful. It took a while to gain his trust, but we get along very well and we build a beautiful relationship for years. Since then, I can't imagine my life without cats! :) Currently, I have another stray - Kocie. He has been my best friend for the last 7 years. I do cat-sitting for my friends. Always heard good words, so I decided that I can help you too!

We were lucky enough to have Zoe and Ross to sit for 11days to look after our crazy but kind rescue boy, Loki. He came with a bit of a rider as can be an anxious lad sometimes and needed someone who was happy to work with his likes and dislikes, as well as well as carry on the consistent messaging he knows. Zoe asked all the right questions about Loki’s needs and we couldn’t have asked for a better match - lovely, kind people. Zoe took time to read our messages prior to our meet and greet and stayed in touch until our booking. Zoe immediately put our dog at ease and was happy to follow his routine. Zoe shared lovely photos of their stay with our dog and the adventures they got up to, exploring a range of sites in our area. It was lovely to see pictures and have messages of how Loki was getting on, including looking very chilled and having a good play in the garden. The house was spotless on our return and Loki was clearly very happy and relaxed with Zoe and Ross. I would highly recommend them both for conscientious, experienced and attentive dog sitters. It was lovely to have a couple who have life experience too and took initiative, such as a minor power cut in the home and having their bedding in the wash on our return. Would absolutely use again for our Loki.

Christina came to look after Jo for a day visit and she did an amazing job. Jo is an extremely anxious dog, but Christina made her feel comfortable enough that she was able to take her out for a walk on their very first day alone together, which is a huge achievement! Christina was super communicative throughout the day, kept me updated and left the apartment exactly as she found it. She’s clearly great with dogs and I felt completely at ease having Jo in her care. I’d absolutely love to book her again and would highly recommend her.

Irina was wonderful again! She stayed in our house to look after our 6 year old Cavachon and he’s been extremely well looked after. Together with her husband, Andrei, they have built a great bond with Pip and also trained and supported him to be off lead in a safe space. The care and attention is exceptional 😀 We received very regular photos and videos of Pip and updates on him. When we returned after 5 weeks the house was immaculately clean. Even my house plants were thriving which never happens with me! Irina is a truly caring and respectful dog sitter in your home. Thank you Irina and Andrei!

Gem is kind, considerate, communicative and goes above and beyond for you and your pet. She clearly has a huge love for animals and wants them to feel taken care of and loved, and Alfie very obviously felt that. A truly wonderful sitter and would highly recommend! Thanks so much Gem!

Dominika looked after our very elderly dog (18 years old) with multiple health needs for 10 days while were on a family holiday. He took to her straight away and I can honestly say that he had a new lease of life when we got back. We got regular updates and he was obviously very happy. She looked after the house and garden for us too. I can highly recommend her.

Mara was fantastic looking after our Rottweiler Diesel for the day. From first request she was quick to respond, and was flexible to make sure the arrival time worked for everyone. She took great care of Diesel and sent plenty of pictures during g the day. We will definitely use here again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their pet.

Dominik looked after my dog Raffi for two days. Raffi had surgery a few weeks ago so needed careful handling. Dominik was fantastic with him and Raffi adores him. Dominik provided regular updates through the day and I felt totally comfortable leaving Raffi in his care.

Super happy with Matt & Gwen again! They were looking after my cat at our place over the weekend. They are so friendly, easy to communicate with, trustworthy, flexible, great with cats & dogs, and just all round superstars. I came home to a relaxed cat and a house that was left in an impeccable condition, and plants watered in the heatwave. Thank you!

Maria did a fantastic job looking after our puppy Maggie. It was very clear to see how happy Maggie was in Maria’s company, we really appreciated the regular updates with lots of photos and a few videos. When we came home Maggie was in great shape, happy and full of confidence. Her lead walking and response to commands had also massively improved! The house was cleaned, laundry done and everything looking great, which we didn’t expect but what a delight to come home to. Thank you Maria for everything you did and the care you gave Maggie while we were away. Definitely a star sitter!!!
