This is the second time Alba looks after my cat. I came back to a happy pet again - Alba sent regular updates from her daily visits and took very good care of Chewy. My very shy and nervous pet has trusted Alba and does not hide with her visits and actually comes out of hiding and is comfortable. Thank you massively

Max is a dog whisperer. Our dog is standoffish with strangers & can take a few days to give trust but Max clearly knew how to manage that so the dog was relaxed & friendly with him from the off. Making arrangements with Max was easy; he replies promptly & gives informative answers to questions. He was punctual, provided good updates & he even re-confirmed in the morning of the booking. We won’t hesitate to ask Max to sit our dog again.

About: Hi! My name is Bridget, and I’m a kind, caring, and responsible animal lover offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I’m very flexible with my schedule and happy to stay in your home to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away.
I’ve grown up in central London so I know all the best parks for engaging and enriching walks. I also have a car and am more than happy to take your dog out of the city for a big countryside walk and a proper adventure.
Sadly I can't have a dog where I live, but I’ve had my own cat for over 10 years and have regularly looked after friends' and family’s dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, warm-hearted, and experienced, I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home on my own schedule. I occasionally work in a shop where I would be able to bring a dog in and look after throughout the day. I am available every evening and almost every week day in the day time. I have a relaxed cat who keeps to himself and am walking distance from many central london parks. I provide lots of attention and cuddles but allow pets to come to me in their own time.

About: Hi! I love animals and have always been raised around them so I’m super comfortable with feeding, walking, and playing with them. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter & gained more comfortability with dogs of various sizes! I’ve dog sat my friends 2 dogs while her & her family were out of town as well! I’m currently working part-time (mainly only on the weekends) so I do have a good amount of free time during the week now that second semester of Uni is coming to an end. I typically go to the gym Monday-Friday as well but can always plan that around Rover! I don’t mind preparing food & water for your pets as well as taking your dogs out to use the bathroom whenever needed. For cats same thing, I don’t mind feeding them as well as cleaning their litter boxes as well as around the box for any litter that’s come out. My priorities would be to keep your pet happy as well as your space clean!

About: As a passionate pet lover, I have spent many years caring for a variety of pets personally and professionally. My experience includes volunteering at animal shelters and working with various rescue organizations. I have also had the pleasure of pet sitting for several families over the years, including dogs, cats, birds, and even small animals like hamsters and rabbits. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I always take the time to get to know them and their individual needs. Whether it's administering medication, feeding, walking, or just providing cuddles and playtime, I am committed to providing the best care possible for every pet under my watch. As a responsible and reliable individual, I take the safety and well-being of your pets very seriously. You can trust that I will provide the highest level of care and attention to detail, giving you peace of mind while you are away from your beloved pets. I am always available during the weekends and in the evenings, and work from home a lot during the week. I therefore have plenty of time to give attention to your adorable pet! In my home, I provide a loving and nurturing environment for pts to feel at home. I have an entirely fenced garden that provides plenty of space for pets to play, exercise, and explore. Additionally, I have no other pets, which means that your pet will receive my undivided attention and love during their stay with me. I also take great care to ensure that your pet's dietary and exercise needs are met, and that they are comfortable and happy during their stay in my home. Whether your pet needs a temporary home while you are away or a place to stay while you're at work, you can trust that they will be well-cared for and loved in my home.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, literally for as long as I can remember. My oldest dog lived to 18, and I cared for her closely in her senior years, making sure she was comfortable and well looked after. My current dog is 14, but he lives far away, and I miss him a lot. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs while they’re on holiday, so I’m used to different routines and personalities. I truly love being around dogs, and taking care of yours would make me really happy. I have plenty of energy and time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ve recently finished my master’s and am currently looking for a job, so I am full time available to dedicate to your dog, following their routine and making sure they’re happy and loved. There’s a lovely courtyard in my building for fresh air and playtime, and a cozy flat to rest in afterwards if your dog gets tired. Regent’s Park is only a 5 minute walk away, perfect for nice walks! I’ll make sure your dog always has company, cuddles, and lots of attention.

About: Hi! I’m Tony. I live in East London (E3, near Bow Church) and I am a Certified Public Accountant working as an Auditor for one of the Big4 Auditing Firms. I work remotely most of the time so my schedule is very flexible for accommodating petsitting requests. We’ve always had pets growing up, so I’m used to be around them and playing with them. I recently moved to London and because my flat does not allow us to have our own pets, let me just take care of yours. I work as an accounting professional on a WFH setup in one of the Big4 Accounting Firms. I’m available to house sit and pet sit in a very flexible schedule as long as it’s communicated at least a day before (especially if far from where I live). 1. My priority is the furbaby's well-being and safety so it is key for me to have a really good communication with the furparent (feeding schedule, diet, do’s and don’ts, etc). 2. I am commited to maintain the furbaby’s routine while the furparents are away. 3. I will keep a watchful eye on the furbaby’s behavior and health and ensure that everything will be timely reported and updated to the furparent.

I am available for daytime visits, walks, and house-sitting with no time constraints, ensuring your dog never has to wait for attention or a potty break.

About: Hi, I’m Luis Andre. I’ve loved dogs for my whole life, and I’d be delighted to give your pup a warm, gentle and loving experience. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs and seniors. My first dog was Roly, a playful Beagle who was with me from the age of six. When he grew older, I dedicated myself to giving him the happiest and most comfortable final years possible. Later on, I helped care for Viena, a Golden Retriever from my partner, both as a puppy and again when she was four to five years old, for almost two years in total. What you can expect from me: ✔️ Individual attention so your dog always feels seen and cared for ✔️ Frequent updates with texts, photos and videos ✔️ Safe walks and fun playtime (if you and your pup are comfortable with it) ✔️ A calm, loving and reliable environment I bring the same care, patience and affection I gave to Roly and Viena to every dog I look after. Feel free to message me anytime. I’ll be happy to answer your questions and get to know your dog. 🐾 I am currently pursuing a full-time master’s at UCL. Although my studies are full-time, my schedule is quite flexible. I usually attend university from Monday to Thursday every two weeks, and when I’m not on campus, I spend my time at home reading and studying. Next year, my schedule will be even more flexible as I focus on my research, allowing me to be at home most of the time and dedicate plenty of attention to caring for your dogs. I currently live in a flat with three rooms, one of which is furnished, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. That said, I prefer caring for dogs in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain a clean and safe space, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: Why have one sitter when you can have two!? We're a reliable, fun and outdoorsy couple who work from home 5 days a week, so your pet will always have company, care, and be entertained to their heart's content! We live with Xanthe’s mum in a bright, spacious home with an enclosed garden, close to four parks including Ally Pally 🦮 We've both grown up with animals but now, living in London and about to turn 30, Rover lets us spend time with animals while we’re not quite ready for our own <3 Doing Rover as a duo means double the time with added reassurance. As well as twice daily walks, we can bring your pet for shop runs and, if they like to hit up sunny parks and cafes at the weekend that can be arranged 😉 Each pet we’ve cared for has had their own personality and needs whether it’s extra walks, grooming, or calming nervous pups, we’ll make them our top priority during their stay and are great at understanding animals needs ❤️

I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs in my house and always been passionate about them. Started to work as a dog sitter in 2019 in Sydney Australia and continued doing it on ad off for the next years in Mexico City during 2022\23 and also here in London I take care of a family friend's dog when she's out of town. I simply enjoy bonding with pets and I feel I don't just take them for a walk or spend time with them but create a connection. I'm currently modelling full time so my schedule is pretty free during the week if not for some castings or jobs that will be scheduled before, but usually always free during the weekends. I live a 3 minute walk distance from Haggerston park, so will provide walks and park runs daily. In the flat is only me and there is a spacious living room connected to the bedroom where their bed can be placed, and can be supervised all the time. Will give the dog only the food provided or told by the parents.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of dedicated dog companionship combined with hands on, specialised senior care. Having been raised around dogs my entire life, I intuitively understand canine behaviour, body language, and routines. Most recently, I lovingly cared for my own pug through their golden years. This experience taught me the patience, gentle handling, and close monitoring required for senior pets, especially flat faced breeds. Whether your dog is an energetic adult needing a watchful eye or a sweet senior who requires a slower pace and medication administration, I provide the tailored, nurturing care they deserve. I currently offer dedicated pet care on evenings and weekends, making me the perfect fit for after work check ins, dinner feedings, or weekend getaways. Because my schedule is highly flexible during these times, your dog will receive my full, undivided attention. Please note that I am actively transitioning to full time, open availability in the near future! If you have a specific weekday request or a recurring schedule you would like to discuss for the coming weeks, please feel free to message me so we can plan ahead. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities. Since I provide care exclusively through drop-in visits and walks in your local area, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and vigilance. During walks, your dog will always remain securely leashed. I focus entirely on them, staying alert to traffic, stray animals, and changing weather conditions. For drop-in visits, I strictly follow your entry and locking instructions to keep your home secure. I always double-check that doors are locked, security systems are armed, and fresh water is topped up before I leave. With a lifetime of dog experience, I am skilled at reading body language to keep your pet calm, safe, and happy.

About: Hi! I’m a postgraduate master's student living right on Fitzroy Square. I grew up in a home full of animals-having raised cats, owned a dog, and cared for birds. ​I have firsthand experience providing dedicated medical and rehabilitative care for fragile animals, having personally looked after my own bird when she experienced temporary paralysis and later developed a tumor. This has given me an immense amount of patience, a very gentle touch, and the ability to confidently manage the specialised routines of elderly, anxious, or physically disabled pets. ​My background is in highly disciplined fields-architecture and filmmaking-which means I am exceptionally organised, quiet, punctual, and deeply respectful of your home space. I understand that your pets are family, and I am meticulous about following exact feeding schedules, special handling instructions, and house rules. ​While my maximum university hours are structured from 10:00 to 17:00, my current term schedule is significantly lighter with fewer physical classes. This gives me excellent daytime flexibility to check in on your pet, alongside my completely open mornings, evenings, and nights for dedicated companionship. I am tidy, a non-smoker, and love sending regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I maintain a very structured and predictable schedule with fixed university hours. While my maximum hours are 10:00 to 17:00, my current term schedule is significantly lighter with fewer physical classes. This gives me excellent daytime flexibility to check in on your pet, alongside my completely open mornings, evenings and nights for dedicated companionship. ​I provide pet care exclusively at the owner's home to keep your pet in their familiar environment. Having personally managed rehabilitation and specialized routines for my own bird through temporary paralysis and a tumor, I am highly competent with fragile or special-needs pets. I am exceptionally observant, meticulously managing security, following precise health guidelines, and ensuring a safe, stress-free space.

Blaise was very flexible and able to stay over at mine very last minute to care for my dog and two cats. As usual she was absolutely amazing. Blaise is kind and genuinely goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are feeling loved and cared for in your absence! I received lots of photos and videos of playtimes and cuddles in bed. My shy cat who is scared of his own shadow even warmed to her and slept in next to her which just made me feel so happy. It’s such a reassurance that she’s a vet nurse and is there if anything were to happen. I came home to a clean house, clean litter trays and 3 very happy pets. Couldn’t have asked for more! Exceptional service and highly recommend!

John has been absolutely wonderful with Cookie. He is reliable, caring, and always kept me updated, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Cookie recently had surgery, so I was quite anxious about leaving him with someone else, but John was very patient and attentive with all of his needs. I genuinely felt very reassured knowing Cookie was in such good hands. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog sitter 😊
