“Pablo is such a wonderful dog walker. I’ve used him multiple times, He’s very patient and reliable. My dog loves him! I highly recommend Pablo.”


4. Laura F.

“Laura was absolutely amazing with my German Shepherd, Odin! From the moment she met him, it was clear she had a natural way with dogs. There’s always a bit of uncertainty about leaving my dog with someone new, but Laura took excellent care of Odin, ensuring he was comfortable, exercised, fed, has water and happy. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Odin can be quite energetic, but Laura handled him with confidence and kindness, giving him the attention and exercise he needed. When I got back, he was relaxed and content, which says everything about the level of care he received. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog walker, I highly recommend Laura. I will definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Laura!”

“Quality time for Milou and highly dedicated service given by Simone. Milou enjoyed that 1hr of slot, and feel connected with Simone during the 1st walk, Will definitely used Simone’s service again. Highly recommended!!!”




6. Bradley O.

“Really happy with Bradley. He came to pick my dog (Sammy) up from my work place and gave him a good hour walk. Sammy came back from the walk happy. He was also adjustable with my timings. Thank you Bradley!”


7. Djeren Ceren B.

“I want to thank Ceren for stepping in last minute to walk my dog, Haku. She was incredibly responsive and willing to meet beforehand so I could show her the flat and introduce her to Haku. It really put my mind at ease knowing that she took the time to ensure everything was set up properly before the walk. I truly appreciate her flexibility and the care she showed for Haku. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and thoughtful dog walker!”


8. Dev J.
About: I have looked after small/mid sized dogs for years in my flat in Covent Garden. I work from home a lot as I'm self employed so can provide constant care, and am available on weekends. I am also very responsive on my phone and love to check in, so feel free to message me anytime! I'll probably be sending you cute pictures anyway! I am a working voice over artist (who largely works from home or in studios within a mile radius) so I'm very available during the week/weekends/bank holidays. I also work part time at a dog friendly gym near my flat. I have a lot of free time throughout the week and am a fan of fitness so if your dog needs a lot of walks, I'm happy to accommodate! I am happy to take the parents' lead on this, if you'd prefer your dog sleeps in a certain set up I am 100% happy to accommodate, I'm also very happy to have dogs sleep in my bed! My flat is on the second floor of our building (but am happy to carry dogs who are unable to climb, which has happened!) and I have two bedrooms and an atrium where the dogs can rest without access to the bathroom/kitchen areas. I also live near several parks/green spaces.


9. Matthew M.

“Matthew is great!! My staffy can be quite a challenging dog to walk as he gets overexcited and anxious about a lot of things in central London but Matthew was super understanding and patient with learning about all Hercules’ needs. Communication was always fantastic and I couldn’t ask for more.”


10. Audrey S.
“Audrey was great walker for my pup! Amazing and prompt communication and very easy pick up/drop off. Highly recommend and would easily utilize her services again!”


11. Phoebe Y L.
“Love Phoebe Y for petsitting my 5 year old German Shepherd Luffy, she is very kind and loving to animals and always spend time entertaining Luffy when Im out for work.”


12. Gracia M.
“Gracia is the perfect candidate for taking care of your pets. As she loves animals and being informed on all types of care depending on your pet. She has 2 cats that she loves and takes care of them 24/7. Gracia has taken care of my dogs multiple times and when she arrives they’re happier than ever. She plays with them and takes care of all the needs they have. Gracia is a super reliable caregiver and she’s always my number one option when I need someone for my pets.”


13. Yi J.
“I couldn't be more reassured when Yi helps take care of Lucky. She has always been so patient and caring towards Lucky. She is very observant and meticulous. She cooks Lucky's food as instructed, brushes his hair, and wipes his eyes every day. I was also quite surprised when she reported to me about Lucky's poop. 😂😂😂”


14. Maëli G.

“Maëli was super friendly and Rusty clearly really liked her! She agreed to meet 15 mins early too so we could walk together for a bit so Rusty and I could get to know her a bit first which was lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!”


15. Camila V.
“Camila is one of the most responsible, caring, considerate person I know in my life. No matter whether she's caring for humans or animals, she's someone that will give her best at all situations. Not only that, she's also a great communicator, direct to the point and timely as well. Lastly, I would say that she's a very reliable person which is a very important thing when caring for pets.”


16. Chengwei S.

“Chengwei was great with my mini poodle, you can tell she cares for dogs. She was very kind, respectful and responsive with great communication, being able to accommodate our needs. She sent me updates that kept my mind at ease. He really enjoyed his walk date with her and even left a lovely keepsake for us. 100% recommend, don’t hesitate to book with her”


17. Maria Camila A.
About: Hi! I'm Maria! I'm a dog mama from Colombia, currently residing in West London. I have extensive experience, looking after pups of all ages and sizes, l'd love to help fellow dog owners as a dog sitter. Your pup's company would bring me immense joy too! With a flexible schedule, I can provide consistent attention, regular walks, and playtime throughout the day according to the owner's requirements. At the moment I am available for boarding, walks, drop ins and doggie companionship, and with more advance notice I can be available for boarding or repeat companionship if you don’t work at home or are going away for any reason, you can be sure that your pup will be well looked after in a happy home away from home ♥️ I live in an apartment with a secure garden, providing a safe space for outdoor pees and poops and a nearby park for a longer walk through the day. On pleasant days, I anlso enjoy taking the pups on longer walks, maybe to the nearby reservoirs (only with your blessing as I know some doggies are in different points of training such as walking off lead/on lead, recall, etc) Inside, I engage in playtime and companionship - l've been a great playmate for my own dog (he told me that himself!) Feeding is tailored to your preferences. Rest assured, your pup won't be anxiously waiting by the door with an empty stomach while in my care. I'm committed to making their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.


18. Samuel P.
“Sam was a great help to our walking schedule! He worked for us a few times while we were training our dog. He was very kind and patient, would definitely recommend him.”


19. Nilofar A.
About: My experience comes from looking after my own dog for three years and occasionally looking after other dogs either for friends or lost or rescue dogs I work on a casual basis so am available often pretty much most days and can either take your dog for walks or look after them overnight I am very close to several parks near me and have my own dog so am always going for nice long walks with her and I also have a mutually shared garden


20. Bradley M.
About: I've grown up with dogs and pets my whole life, ranging from small Yorkshire terriers to large Italian Spinones. I've experience looking after puppies in friends and families homes, and also cared for senior dogs who need constant care and special attention. I'm very compassionate and go above and beyond to make sure each cat and dog I look after feels truly cared for and loved, no matter their quirks and needs. I work freelance as an actor, so I'm very flexible with my working routine with weekends available, in terms of walks and looking after pets in their own homes. I'm available last minute and free to adapt to any days of the week. When caring for pets in their owner's home, my top priority is to adhere to the owner's specific guidelines to provide the best possible care and attention. I ensure that the pet is fed promptly and has ample opportunities for outdoor time, promoting both their physical and mental well-being. If requested, I restrict the pet's access to designated areas within the home, and I take extra precautions to keep all food and hazardous objects out of reach, particularly for puppies who are naturally curious. I am committed to providing frequent interaction and playtime, as well as taking walks on a leash as agreed upon with the owner. This approach not only fosters a safe and trusting environment for the pet but also helps maintain their routine and comfort in their familiar surroundings.
