“Justina was amazing! Our dog Alfie has separation anxiety and is usually wary of strangers, but made him feel completely comfortable. She took great care of him and kept us updated.”
“We had a great experience with Cassandre. She stayed with our cat Mia for a week and was so attentive, making sure our home was clean and tidy when we returned. We loved the regular photos and video updates she sent. Thank you, Cassandre, we’ll definitely be booking you again!”
“Keltie is a total natural and so lovely. I could tell that Harley was in good hands and he seemed to me more confident around her very calming energy. She took the time to engage with him during the day and was really communicative. Thanks so much Keltie x”
About: I have experience of looking after dogs as pets, both in England and in other countries. I also regularly volunteer to walk ex-greyhound racing dogs at a shelter that looks after abandoned greyhounds. Looking to have dogs accompany us on my evening walks. I am available most evenings to look after your dog and occasionally I am free during the week. Weekends are usually best, however I am able to move things about to accommodate if needed. I am a fun but meticulous person that will always do my due diligence when evaluating risks in public spaces. I am a fairly active person with a lot of energy to keep up with any dog's needs within a safe and cautious manner.
“Anna is absolutely wonderful! I truly don’t have enough great things to say about her. She was amazing with Ruby and Eloise, they just loved her! She took excellent care of the girls and our home for two weeks, and it was an stress-free experience for all of us. Highly recommend Anna and we would love to have her back anytime!”
“Lauren is lovely - very attentive, punctual, caring and communicative. She agreed to come over at short notice and Ollie felt completely at ease with her. Thanks so much Lauren!”
“Excellent sitting for our pup from Chloe Jelena! We were very happy with the care, updates and general communication from Chloe Jelena. Would have no hesitation in booking her again 😊”
“Victoria was excellent with my greyhound Barry. Gave regular updates/sent videos and was very communicative/quick to respond. The house was left spotless and probably tidier than it was when I left. Highly recommend!!”
“Ceire was amazing - very communicative and warm. Our pup Robin had a great time with her and we got a lot of reassuring updates about how they were getting along! We’ve had a few sitters on Rover but Ceire has definitely stood out for us :)”
“Fabienne loves dogs and took good care of our anxious Jake. She stayed at our flat for 10 days and sent us updates about Jake and how they got along. Fabienne also looked after our flat at the same time and we came back to a clean flat.”
“Filip house sat for our puppy, Betsy and did a fantastic job. He kept in contact throughout the day with detailed updates and photos. It was clear he was very caring and conscientious towards her. I have no hesitation in recommending him.”
“I used Mark to sit by dog Billy for a week. Mark did a fabulous job looking after Billy. Mark sent me regular videos & pictures an updated me about what Billy had been like & where he had taken Billy pictures showed me Billy was having the time of his life with Mark. Mark went above & beyond my expectations. Will definitely highly recommend Mark he even Strippen the bed & washed them as well as the towels I had left him. I could see he has also vacuumed for me which was a great help. Will definitely be using Mark again. Can’t Prause him enough. Thank you Mark.”
“Veronica was amazing and stepped in at the last minute. She was punctual, responsive, and very respectful. My cat Marla has special needs and is avoidant at first, and Veronica was patient and took the time to let her warm up. She handled an issue with the cat flap quickly to keep Marla safe and sent great photos and videos. I highly recommend her!”

Lucrezia is such a lovely person and an excellent dog sitter. She was always responsive, caring, and responsible, which gave us complete peace of mind while leaving Toshi in her care. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. Thank you for taking such great care of him—Toshi will miss you so much! 🥰
My dog had a great time with Flora - he was a happy and tired (in a good way!) boy when we got back home from holiday. I definitely appreciate Flora taking him places with her, it was a good mix of adventure and rest for him. Our flat was clean and the dog content, couldn't ask for more!
Sofya was wonderful. She came and met Barnaby beforehand and seemed very capable and organised. Sofya has a blind dog so I knew Barnaby was in very good hands. Sofya kept us regularly updated with photos and videos and I could see that Barnaby was very happy. We’ve come back to a clean house and a very content dog. Thank you again! Looking forward to seeing you for our next booking soon!
I can’t thank Charlotte enough for looking after our cat Albie! From the start she was kind, reliable and clearly cared deeply about making sure our cat felt comfortable and happy while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind, and it was obvious Albie was very well looked after and relaxed in her care. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home — we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would warmly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter.
Allison was wonderful watching my dog! She kindly met us for a meet and greet ahead of time, and was so helpful with his additional needs as a senior pup. Allison was a wonderful houseguest as well - definitely recommend and will reach out again! Thank you Allison!
Lin looked after my cats (and house and garden) brilliantly while I was away. Everything looking happy and well cared for when I arrived home and I was really reassured by the daily photos and updates. Lin also managed our other particular household quirks - what happens when the cleaner comes, managing the recycling and rubbish etc really well. I hope she enjoyed her stay and might be willing to come again in future!
We loved having Magda watch our puppy Noa! It was the first time we left her and we felt very very comfortable leaving her with Magda. We had consistent ( daily ) communication with her and received pictures and updates on how everything was going. We will definitely be looking to book Magda again for our next trips. Thank you so much!!!
