“Anna was absolutely fantastic - she really put us at ease with the process, came for a meet and greet before staying and was excellent with Clooney. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Christina took great care of Hamish whilst we were away. We came home to a very happy dog and a well looked after house. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Christina look after Hamish again.”
“Left our dogs with Irina for 10 days in our home. She did a wonderful job taking care of them, ensuring they stick to their routine. She even took care of the house very well. It was our first time trying house sitting and we were a bit nervous, but Irina was very professional and kind. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Chiara watched our Winston over the weekend while we went on holiday. We received regular updates and photos. We came back to a very happy dog and a clean home. We will 100% be using her again in the future!”
“Adrian was great with our Dalmatian Scarlet. Took her on plenty of nice long walks which is perfect for a high energy breed like this. He has the experience necessary to be able to have her off lead safely and confidently. Adrian stayed in our apartment with no problems at all. He provided plenty of photos and updates whilst we were away.”
“Gem was brilliant with Pepper. She took the time to understand his behaviours and routine, and connected with him. She was thorough with her updates and is someone who cares about ensuring that your pet and place is well look after. Thanks Gem!”
“Really lovely responsible sitter! You can see she genuinely loves animals and wants to hang out with them! She took my pup on a lovely long walk and took good care of him all day. Left my flat clean and was super communicative which I love”
“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.”
“Hannah is amazing with Monty, it allows us to enjoy time away from him knowing that he's in such safe hands. She pays close attention to all of his care instructions and sends regular updates. Can't recommend her services enough!”
“Masha is a lovely person and the most wonderful house/cat sitter - I felt totally at ease leaving her in my home with Kitten. She took great care to follow all instructions regarding feeding/playtime and I came home to a very happy and relaxed cat, as well as a spotlessly clean home (including bedding stripped and sheets and towels washed!) which I really appreciated. Communication was very easy, Masha sent me daily updates and photos which reassured me that all was going well. Will absolutely book again, thank you Masha! :-)”
“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!”
“Liam is an absolute star, he couldn't have been more accommodating with pur last minute request to sot Salem. A really lovely guy and i know Salem had a great time with Liam. Would and will gladly use again. Thanks Liam !!”
“Marc was amazing! I reached out to him last minute after our original sitter cancelled the night before, and he accepted and confirmed everything so smoothly. He was super helpful, He was on time, and there were no issues at all with Otto. Highly recommend!”
“We were so happy with Lu’s dog and house sitting! She sent regular updates, pictures and videos and kept Penny occupied and happy throughout the weekend. Would definitely book her again!”
About: I look after cat and dogs in and around London as well as my family dogs when I’m home. This includes catsitting, dog walking and dogsitting. I’ve grown up with pets and I am used to their behaviours. I am work from home most of the week, can flexibility do this anywhere with multiple walks or dog walking any lunchtime. Additionally, available on weekends. I am used to dogsitting clients as well as looking after my family dogs for walks, feeding, care and letting out often. I am kind hearted and used to being around dogs.
“Sam is amazing. He literally had Pasha nuzzling him and slobbering all over him in a matter of a couple of minutes. He came over and took care of him for the entire afternoon, keeping me updated and highly entertained with pictures and videos of my pup. Sam is warm and friendly and is very obviously an animal lover. My pup was in very good hands. I will definitely be asking Sam to take care of him again.”

Anna looked after Millie for the day at very short notice in our home when one of us had to attend a meeting unexpectedly. She was reassuring, a really nice person, and easy to communicate with. Millie had a great time with Anna. She took her for a walk, played with her, and shared pictures of her snoozing on the sofa. Our house was left tidy and exactly as we left it. We'd be very happy for Anna to look after Millie again.
Kassie took brilliant care of my young kitten and older cat for a week - they both had plenty of attention (tricky with an energetic kitten!) and really bonded with Kassie. It was such a relief knowing they were in safe hands while I was away and I had lots of adorable updates on their antics! Kassie also took really good care of my home and I would 100% recommend her for house-sitting or drop-in visits. Thanks again!
We managed to book Gem a few days before we went on a last-minute holiday, and she was BRILLIANT. This was the fist time we have left our dog with a sitter, and she immediately put our minds at ease and was diligent, organised, caring and very communicative. We had multiple daily updates and she left our house spotless and was very considerate. She clearly took very good care of our dog and we will definitely be using Gem again. Highly recommend!
Fabienne was brilliant. We have a fussy old (wonderful) dog who took immediately to Fabienne and enjoyed her walks cuddles and treats. We really enjoyed her daily photos and what they did together. I thoroughly recommend her (she stayed at ours for a week) and I’ll certainly be looking to see if she is free next time we are away and need doggy care.
Ellie was amazing whilst looking after our two doggies. We met in advance and knew straight away that Ellie would look after them with great care. We also had lovely updates from Ellie whilst we were away when she took them out on adventures and she very kindly watered our plants too. Couldn’t recommend enough.
We can’t praise Agni enough for her services, communication and honesty. This was our first time having a cat sitter so we were nervous. Soon as we met Agni, we felt reassured and confident in her abilities - even Flossy (who takes time to warm to new people) instantly took a shine to Agni. We knew then Flossy would be in good hands. We received daily photos, videos and messages from Agni, playing and caring for our Flossy cat whilst we were away. Agni also kept out flat clean and tidy throughout her stay. Thank you for creating a great, first time experience for us. Flossy is already looking forward to next time.
Anu was great with my two dogs and looked after my flat better than I would have ever expected. She sent multiple photos each day so I could see how the dogs were doing, but they never looked like they missed me much because they were having such a great time with Anu!
