Aveline is responsible, punctual and easy to work with. She was able to make our two furry babies feel comfortable and safe when on walks with her. Aveline takes them to the park and they get tired after long walks. One of our dogs is almost 15 years old and Aveline was able to make him feel comfortable. What I appreciate the most is that Aveline is always on time, positive and responsible. Sometimes Aveline walks them extra 10-15 minutes. Highly recommend Aveline!

About: I've spent the past three years caring for all kinds of pets, from energetic puppies to laid-back senior cats, and it's been a truly rewarding journey. Whether it's pet sitting or dog walking, I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and needs. I've become pretty skilled at recognizing what makes them happy and comfortable, whether that's a game of fetch, a leisurely stroll, or just some good belly rubs. One of the best parts of this job is the bonds I build with both the pets and their owners. It's a great feeling knowing that pets are excited to see me and that their owners have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every pet I look after. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, I'm here to help! Mornings start with cheerful greetings and energetic walks, setting a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I ensure pets receive timely meals, play sessions, and plenty of affection, all tailored to their unique personalities. Evenings are dedicated to winding down together, whether it's cuddling up indoors or enjoying a leisurely stroll before bedtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets in their own homes. I take extra care to ensure that their environment is secure and comfortable. This includes double-checking that doors and gates are properly closed and secure before any outdoor activities. Inside, I'm vigilant about removing any potential hazards like small objects or toxic plants that pets could accidentally ingest. I also maintain a routine of careful supervision during playtime and ensure that any medications or special instructions from pet owners are followed to the letter. By maintaining a safe and loving environment, I aim to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals (dogs, cats, birds of all ages), worked in veterinary clinics and completed my bachelor's in Veterinary Sciences at the University of Nottingham. I am currently working full-time (from 9am to 5pm) in Canary Wharf, but would love to take care of pets afterwards or on the weekends. I pay a lot of attention to what they need, whether it be food, walks, or cuddles! If they're quieter, I give them space. If they're more excited and full of energy, I play with them!

Enrica has been an absolute lifesaver for both me and Haku. Her attention to detail and willingness to accommodate Haku's unique needs, from ensuring she's walked with the right gear to keeping her safe and happy during their outings, truly sets her apart. Enrica's thoughtful approach and clear communication have been invaluable, making it easy for me to trust her with Haku's care. Enrica truly goes above and beyond- from taking Haku to an agility course (which is her favorite), to preventing Haku from scaling trees when she goes full-on squirrel-chaser. And Enrica, thank you for your understanding and patience as I finally write this review! You're truly a gem, and I'm grateful to have you as our trusted dog walker.

About: Hi, I’m Yan Yi! I’ve got an 14 year old golden retriever at home in Singapore, and have been regularly walking dogs in London since I moved here for uni in 2022. I love walking around the city, but whenever I'm walking in a park, I always think to myself: this would be so much more fun with a dog. I'm fond of long walks, so if you've got an energetic pup that needs a lot of exercise to tire them out, I'm your girl! I’m currently an postgraduate university student. I am willing to work around your preferred timings as much as necessary, and can take on last minute bookings as well. Outside of the parks, I will never walk your dog off-leash, and even then will only do so if I have met and spent enough time with your dog for mutual trust to exist. (And of course, only if I have your permission!)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have about 5 years of real hands-on experience. I currently have two dogs of my own, a French Bulldog and a Toy Poodle, so I’m used to different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, basic training, bathing and giving lots of attention. I always try to understand each dog’s routine and energy level so they feel safe, relaxed and happy while they’re with me. I’m a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I organize my days around classes, but I always make time for the pets I take care of. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins and sitting, and I can adjust depending on your dog’s routine. I love spending time with animals, so your pet will never feel rushed or ignored while staying with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent and make sure pets are never left unattended. I pay attention to feeding times, walks and playtime, and I give lots of affection so they feel at home. If needed, I can separate dogs, keep environments calm and make sure every pet feels secure, loved and well cared for.

About: I do remote work from home, which means I have lots of time for long walks and play with your furry friend. I have owned three dogs, worked at a shelter and trained in animal first aid (CPD-accredited) so you can rest knowing you’re leaving your friend in a safe and loving home! I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life (from the smallest poodle to German shepherds and Jack Russels). I grew up on a farm in Switzerland so I’ve had experienced caring for pets, horses, bunnies and other farm animals. I understand how important it is to feel reassured when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. This is why I give regular updates, photos and videos. My aim is to make a safe and cozy environment for your furry friend to feel like they are at home. I accept any pets; I’m always excited to meet new animals. Very flexible. I’m a Law student so I can fit my timetable to your loved one’s needs. Available 24/7 for any requests and last-minute changes. I always meet & greet with new pets, allowing my clients to ensure they’re in good hands and my garden or flat at their request. I have a large outside space in my property which is a safe and fenced garden for dogs to run around. This will allow them to get fresh air and take frequent bathroom breaks. My central location in Piccadilly makes any needed travel for pick-up/drop-off easy. I am also close to major London parks - Hyde, St James, Regents, Battersea - all safe and spacious. I live an active lifestyle and can run with dogs as I often do so myself.

About: I had a dog for 11 years growing up - taking care of her from when she was a puppy until she was a senior dog. I have lots of experience caring for smaller dogs at any age! I also have experience taking care of partially sighted dogs. I am aware of the impact on their depth perception and being careful of their blind spots. I work from home most days, so have lots of time to look after your dog, or take them out for a walk. We also live in close proximity to several parks. I will always supervise dogs when outside in the garden especially and be vigilant on walks. During periods of warmer weather, I have a cooling mat, cooling bibs and even a dog paddling pool, which I can bring along to keep your pup cool!

About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and I used to live in Spain before coming here. Here in London I have taken care of two of my friends' cats and the dog of a third friend when they have gone on holidays. I have stayed at their houses as is easier for the pet to feel safe and at ease, I have made sure that they are feed, change the cats sand and taken the dog on walks and to the park to play. I am currently working 2–3 days a week in the mornings, up to 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, or 2:30 PM per day in retail, and three evenings a week as a childminder from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM (sometimes 5:30 PM). I am always free one whole day per week (mostly Tuesdays), most evenings, and Saturday afternoon. First of all, I make sure to follow all the instructions that the owner gives me. I keep an eye on anything they can eat and I play with them.

Jackson has walked my dog several times, and I have always had a great experience. He is reliable, friendly, and always willing to help, even when I contact him on short notice. He has a positive attitude and clearly cares about the dogs he looks after. It gives me peace of mind knowing that Bodhi is in good hands when Jackson is taking care of him. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker :)
