1. Douglas R.

“From start to finish Doug provides exactly the level of service you hope to get from someone caring for your pet. He is calm, patient, attentive, professional and highly reliable. He has been a dream and I will use his services again and again.”


2. Jonathan M.
“I would highly recommend Jonathan McKay as a pet caretaker. He loves animals and is always responsible and totally trustworthy in caring for our dog. My dog is very excited to see Jonathan because she knows here’s someone who likes me! Jonathan would always be my number one choice to care for our dog!. Bonnie B”


3. Ananya K.
“Ananya is compassionate, patient, and responsible. She adores animals and goes out of her way to help those in distress. She routinely volunteers at shelters. I trust her implicitly with my dog. She’d make a great pet sitter and would put her charge above all else.”


4. Lara B.

“Lara was outstanding! She made a great impression with Gandhi at the initial meet and greet. We were away for a few days and had been let down by a few people so it was pretty last minute, Lara was super attentive with Gandhi, showed him plenty of love and even cleaned up his hairball 🤢. Great communication, lots of photos from the visits too. 10/10 I would recommend Lara to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


5. 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.


6. Tracy C.

“Tracy was extremely punctual, and understanding after a mixup with access to the flat! She spent some time looking after our puppy and took him for a little walk aswell as toileting and playing with him. It's nice to have people you can trust to come and check in on your dog when you're at work and Tracy is definitely one we feel comfortable with. Would highly recommend”


7. Djeren Ceren B.
“I am thrilled to share my experience with Ceren, who recently took care of my dog, Max. Ceren did an outstanding job looking after Max, ensuring he was well-cared-for and happy. Her handling of Max during doggy daycare was exceptional—she was attentive to his needs, provided plenty of playtime, and even ensured he got along well with other dogs. Max seemed to enjoy his time with her immensely, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. Ceren’s genuine affection for dogs and her thoughtful approach to their care make her highly recommended.”


8. Alejandro P.
About: My name is Alex and I grew up with multiple dogs and cats at home. I love animals, and I'm well prepared to care for both dogs and cats as, not only I have many years of pet sitting experience, but I also continuously educate myself by speaking with experts and reading books and articles about pet care and pet behaviour to better understand my furry friends. I have a flexible weekly schedule and often work from home, which allows me to be available for pick-ups, drop-ins, toilet breaks, walks and playtime. I don't have pets of my own, nor kids, so your pet will have my full attention. I have a back garden and a nice big park just across the road.


9. Camila V.
“Camila has watched over my two dogs, Milo & Tina, and they love her! I left her directions on how to meet the needs of each and she went above and beyond in keeping my pets safe and happy while I was away. Camila would occasionally send me photos and videos of the two and kept me informed on the daily. I would recommend anyone to Camila, she's wonderful with pets of any breed and age! (:”


10. Enrica L.
“Enrica is the biggest dog lover that exists. She took extremely great care of my dog, who is always excited to stay with her. I would definitely recommend Enrica to anyone, only downside is that your dog might not want to go back home with you”


11. Yuanyi F.
“Yuanyi is a caring, responsible, and patient pet caregiver with years of experience. She treats every pet like her own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. Highly recommended!”


12. Aya S.
“Aya took care of my small male dog, Boulboul, and my two cats (one male and one female) for a weekend. Aya went above and beyond to make sure they were well-cared for, giving them a lot of attention and affection. She stayed in touch with me regularly, sending plenty of pictures and updates, which made me feel completely at ease. Aya is reliable, loving, and dedicated to making pets feel comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”


13. Kaleigh C.

“Kaleigh has been such a delight looking after my cat and dog. She's very professional and considerate in understanding what I'm looking for and my girls love her! I would recommend her to anyone and will be booking her again!”


14. Chengwei S.

“She’s really good with the dogs :) they always get excited to see her”


15. Vincenzo M.
“Vincenzo has his own dog in Naples, it's a beagle, and he trained him very well :) I have a border collie, mine is going to be 3 years old in May, this year. Zazen loves him very much! Vincenzo knows how to teach dogs, like a basic things, (sit, stay etc.) read the signs of how they behave and love them very very much! He is responsible and loves the dogs very very much! I recommend him very much!”


16. Ainhoa I.
“Ainhoa was an incredible help for me and my dachshund, Frankfurt, during our time at uni. She was always patient with him and happy to take care of him when I didn’t have time. She always made sure he was well-fed, walked and loved whenever I left him with her. Her love for animals is palpable and Frankfurt absolutely adores her. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for him. Thank you so much for everything, Ainhoa!”


17. Samuel P.
“Sam has a natural affinity with animals and is passionate about their care. He is one of those people that animals seem to go to instinctively and Sam loves giving attention to them. He and his partner are completely trustworthy with regards to looking after animals, and understand the requirements around exercise and feeding them when they have responsibility. Sam enjoys ensuring that animals have a fun time and are well pampered when in his care!”


18. Tiyana J.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, which gives me a deep understanding of their needs at every life stage, from playful puppies to senior companions. My background includes training puppies and providing specialised care for older dogs, ensuring they receive the attention and support they require. Having recently moved from South Africa, I’m eager to share my love for animals and create a meaningful bond, even if it’s just for a short time. My passion for pet care, combined with my extensive experience, sets me apart as a sitter who truly understands and cherishes the well-being of dogs. I’m currently working full-time, most days I work from home. I am a stay in on the weekend person so I’d love to have a pup companion to spend those days with. My apartment has a small dog park on the ground floor. This gives the dogs a place to run and have a good time on the grass! This is a pet friendly place with many dogs, all sizes and ages!


19. Jessica F.
“Jessica is the friend that sends you pictures of dogs that she has met in her daily life. Jessica is fully trust worthy and has a huge amount of experience with dogs. I can tell you first hand how happy Jessica is while in the company of a four legged friend. Your puppies will be in the greatest of care and i am certain they will love their walks.”
