Claudia was amazing as always! Our third time working with her and I can’t say enough hood things! Knowing she’s keeping an eye on my little guy and receiving her updates gives so much relief when I’m away. Definitely recommend.

Kate is absolutely great, and Kenni our dog absolutely loves her. Lots of fun walks rain or shine and a tired puppy afterwards.

About: I’m a responsible, loving dog sitter who’s been surrounded by wagging tails my whole life. Since my current work schedule doesn’t let me fully commit to having a dog of my own, I pour all that love into dog sitting instead. I’m all about adjusting to each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re shy snugglers, energetic zoom-masters, or wise senior doggos with a few extra needs. I’m patient, reliable, and always ready with treats, playtime, lots of walks, and plenty of cuddles. My goal is to create a warm, happy space where every dog feels safe, relaxed, and completely at home. Your furry friend won’t just be looked after, they’ll be adored. 🐶💛 I currently work 3 days from home and can take breaks when needed to attend to your pup. I’m available most weekends, whenever needed really! I have a fenced garden and secure doors as well as a spacious living area with plenty of room for a dog to roam happily.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. My very first dog joined our family when I was 8 years old in Spain and she became like a sister to me, being a single child myself. We spent 14 wonderful years together. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs in both London and Brighton, looking after friends’ pets ranging from small to medium breeds such as greyhounds, whippets, Brussels griffons, lurchers, and more. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need patience and playtime, as well as older dogs who may require gentler handling or extra care. Because of my personal and hands-on experience, I know how important it is to provide affection, consistency, and a safe environment that makes each dog feel secure and loved. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every dog as if they were my own giving them not just the basics of feeding and walking, but also companionship and care tailored to their needs. I am an academic and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your dog during the week. From Monday to Friday, I can adapt walks, play, and feeding times around your pet’s routine. The only exceptions are when I need to travel for work or visit family in Spain for holidays. We live in a comfortable two-bedroom flat with a spacious living room and a balcony. Our home provides a safe environment for pets to feel at ease. Just a short walk away are lovely green spaces such as Hilly Fields, Brockley Cemetery, and Ladywell Fields perfect for long walks and some outdoor playtime. I take safety and trust seriously: I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep to your dog’s routine, and send regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is to create a warm, secure, and caring environment where your dog feels happy and loved.

Great experience with Valentina!! My dog Moxie took a shine to her right away during the first meet and greet. Communication was great, and we really appreciated the photo and video updates from the two drop-in visits she did yesterday to check in on Moxie and another pup staying with us. The dogs were clearly happy and comfortable with her. Would definitely book again!

About: I have been living on my own since 2020, and that was when I welcomed my first cat into my life. Later, I also lived with two more cats belonging to my flatmate. Spending everyday life with three cats — each with completely different personalities — taught me how unique every cat can be. One is very sensitive, another is energetic and playful, and the third prefers quiet independence. Learning to understand and care for each of them in their own way is what made me truly fall in love with observing cats. These years of daily interaction have shaped me into a genuine “cat person”. I enjoy noticing the small changes in their mood, building trust slowly, and adapting my care based on what each cat needs. I have also helped look after friends’ cats when they travel, and I know how important it is for owners to feel that their pets are safe, comfortable, and understood. As a pet sitter, my priority is to provide thoughtful, attentive care that respects each cat’s personality. I aim to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you are away. As a freelancer, my schedule is very flexible. As long as visits are arranged in advance, I can easily adapt my routine to suit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always follow the established routines to keep the cat comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors and windows are secure, handle feeding and litter care carefully, and keep the environment exactly as the owner prefers. I respect the home, stay attentive to safety, and ensure the cat feels safe in their familiar space.

About: Friendly and outgoing dog carer for ‘localish’ London area. No assignment too big or small. No two dogs are the same and I’ll make sure your dog gets the care and attention it needs. I’m currently feeding, walking and attending to a cat and dog over in Hampstead. Both have their own special routines and requirements so I make sure they get the best of care and attention. I have a part time job, and I also volunteer at an Oxfam bookshop a couple of mornings a week. So I have loads of time available to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’m very active, so I love big walks and cycling. I live very close to two big parks so there’s plenty of scope for adventures. Indoors I love to read and it’s great to have pets around if they wanna nap and get cosy too.

About: I’ve lived with dogs pretty much my whole life — from tiny, spirited dachshunds and Yorkshire terriers to strong-willed Alaskan malamutes, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Over the past 2 years, I’ve also been pet sitting professionally within my community, looking after a wide range of breeds, including the more “tricky” or anxious ones. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to make sure pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’m always learning more about training and positive reinforcement, and I’m quick to adapt to each pet’s unique style. Animals usually warm up to me fast — I love building trust and finding that perfect way to connect with them. Your furry friend is way more than a responsibility to me — they’re a little personality to get to know, spoil, and keep happy while you’re away. work from home full-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. It’s easy for me to build pet care into my routine, from regular walks and playtime to keeping a close eye on their comfort and needs. Your pet won’t be left waiting for attention, as I’m around and present to keep them happy and engaged. Safety and comfort are always the first priority. When I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I try to keep everything as familiar as possible — their usual routines, feeding schedule, walking routes, and the places they love to nap. I make sure doors and windows are secure, and I never take chances with anything that could put them at risk. I’m big on communication too: I’ll update you regularly with photos, little notes about how they’re doing, and anything new I notice in their behavior. It’s important that you feel just as at ease as your pet does.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, and for over 20 years I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with Smooth Fox Terriers. They’ve truly been part of the family. Over the years, I’ve been involved in all aspects of their care — from whelping and raising puppies to giving medicine when needed. I’ve learned how each dog has its own personality, and I always take the time to help them feel safe and at ease in new surroundings. At the moment, I don’t have a dog of my own, but I have a lot of love and experience to offer. My flat is calm, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with a lovely park just a stone’s throw away — perfect for walks and playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors and being active, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and attention. Just a small note — English is not my first language, but I always do my best to communicate clearly and kindly. The most important thing for me is making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while they’re with us. Looking forward to hearing from you! I currently work part-time at a local school, which means my schedule is quite flexible and leaves me with plenty of time during the day to care for pets. When I’m not working, I’m usually at home, so your dog will have lots of company. Whether your dog loves activity or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll be there to give them attention, comfort, and companionship throughout the day Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is a calm and secure space, with a private garden where your dog can safely enjoy time outdoors. I live in a dog-friendly neighbourhood, and our neighbours also have dogs, so there’s always a friendly, social atmosphere around — perfect if your dog enjoys a bit of company! There are also two large parks just 5–10 minutes away from my home, perfect for daily walks, playtime, or a bit of off-lead exercise if your dog is used to it. I’m very familiar with the area and always make sure walks are safe, relaxed, and suited to each dog’s energy level. I’ve had many years of hands-on experience with dogs, and I understand how important it is to provide a safe and trusting environment, especially when pets are away from their usual routine. I also have a current DBS check, giving you added peace of mind that your dog is in responsible and caring hands.
