Dog Sitting Marshalswick

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had cats in my home and I’ve also spent plenty of time around dogs of all sizes and personalities, so I understand their needs, body language, and the joy of a good walk and cuddle. In addition to my personal experience, I work at an animal charity, which has given me the chance to deepen my knowledge about pet care and welfare. This work has only strengthened my love for animals and my commitment to giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s making sure your pet gets their daily walks, sticking to feeding routines, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. I work from home, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. They’ll never be left alone for long, and I’m able to keep to their usual routines without any problem. I also live right by a beautiful park, so daily walks and playtime outside are easy and enjoyable. Whether your pet needs a few short potty breaks or longer walks to burn off energy, I can fit them in one or two times a day. Your furry friend will get lots of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away! I have a fenced yard where the dog can go out to the toilet and I am able to clean up after them. I also live on my own so they will be in a nice quiet environment in the house.

About: Hiya! I’ve been responsible for caring for pets of all kinds and ages my whole life, from kittens/puppies, to hamsters/guinea pigs, senior cats and dogs! I’ve grown up with German Shepard's, and smaller, older dogs too, so have experience caring for plenty of sizes and temperaments, whether your furry friends are up for walks or a calm afternoon playing or snoozing indoors. I have pet sit for family/friends before and I currently have two pups of my own, so I can assure you your pets are in good hands. I work part time around my studies but am quite flexible, so have plenty of time to spend walking, petting and playing, or just popping in for a check up and feed! I’m always vigilant when it comes to checking gardens for escape points or ensuring the right doors are properly closed. When walking dogs, two hands on the lead is a must, and I won’t tend to let them off unless instructed otherwise by owners, because at the end of the day you’ll know your pet best!

“We got good updates on how things were going and our cat got on well with Atlanta. Responsive and easy to organise the drop-ins. Would recommend.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and horses my whole life. I currently have a small very well trained dog who I trained myself. She has lots of tricks and I am quite good at teaching these to new dogs. I’m currently not working so am very flexible and generally home most of the day. I will be getting back to work part time at the end of the summer however the days I am not in my partner usually is. I have a fenced in garden and 1 little dog to help keep yours company. She is very timid and gets on well with other dogs.

About: Hi! I've had animals my whole life, and i can't wait to meet yours! I have been providing holiday care for other people's pets for a few years now, including cats, puppies and old boys. I have a cat who is used to these animal vistors, but the house is big enough that if they dont get along i cam keep them separated and happy. I also have two rabbits, but they're safe in an enclosed run in the garden! The garden is also a decent size for your doggy to sniff about happily. My children are all very respectful of animals and their space, but love a snuggle and a play when the animal is willing! I am home most of the day and would love to explore the many local parks with your dog. I tend to not leave the dog alone at all, instead taking them with me on my outings and errands. If your four legged friend wants a fun, family home with lots of friendliness then this is the sitter for you! I work part time from home. I don't like to leave dogs alone at all, and cats will not be alone for more than a couple of hours (not that they mind as much!) Animals who come to stay become part of the family. They eat before us, dogs come put with us, and cats stay cosy indoors with the house to explore. The garden is a good size, pets are allowed on the furniture , and maybe the beds if they're irresistable. I can go on walks as long as your dog needs, and will happily follow your instructions on how to play, interact or discipline your pet.

About: Have owned dogs all my life, most recently an american bulldog who was deaf. Have experience with small and large breeds. Friends and family trust me to care for their dogs for walks and also day care when on holiday. Currently work 4 days a week, which can be flexible and change to suit the needs to be able to care for pets and keep them in a routine. Will care for pets in your own home, keeping dogs in their own environment and routine. Will also walk dogs close to home so they are used to the area.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, as my family have always had them, and I have had my own dog since I was 8 years old. He is now 15, so I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they can need as they get older. Alongside this, I have plenty of hands-on experience walking and caring for other people’s dogs. In the past, I regularly walked many dogs, including helping to walk two puppies for four years from when they were little during lockdown. I am also a regular dog sitter for trusted clients, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am energetic and playful when needed, so I am more than happy to match the energy of lively or excitable dogs, but I also know when to slow things down and adapt to dogs who are older, calmer, or just want to relax. I also spend a lot of time with my partner’s cats, so I am very comfortable around cats too and genuinely love animals of all kinds. What makes me stand out is how naturally caring, attentive, and adaptable I am with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits into my routine really naturally, as looking after animals has always been part of my life. I genuinely enjoy making time for walks, play, feeding, and company, and I am good at organising my week so pets get the care and attention they deserve. It never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I really love doing. I am currently finishing up my psychology degree and will have lots of free time to work around any pet sitting or dog walking needs, until I start my masters in January, then I’ll need to update my availability. I care for pets in an owner’s home by making sure they feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible in their usual environment. I always stick closely to their normal routine with feeding, walks, play, and rest, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so I can care for them in the way that suits them best. I also treat the owner’s home with great respect and would make sure it is kept clean, tidy, and secure at all times.

About: I have completed a course through NarpsUK for pet sitting, dog walking and canine & feline first aid. I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and sizes from my time at a professional dog grooming salon, which gave me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, handling, and individual needs. I’m also a devoted dog owner, and caring for my own dog through serious health challenges last year, including IVDD, has given me valuable experience with extra care, recovery routines, and being especially attentive to a dog’s comfort and wellbeing. I also have experience caring for cats and have previously been trusted to look after a friend’s cat, making sure they felt safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ll soon be available full-time, meaning I can give your pets plenty of time, attention, and love. I’m reliable, gentle, and always happy to tailor my care to your pet’s needs — including walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Pet care will fit seamlessly into my daily routine, as I’ll soon be available full-time with complete flexibility. This allows me to plan my days entirely around the needs of the pets in my care, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, or simply spending quality time with them. I enjoy having a calm, consistent routine and love being able to give pets my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment in my flat, with access to a secure fenced garden for fresh air and outdoor time. My own friendly dog may be around at times and can offer gentle companionship for pets who enjoy socialising. I always make sure each pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for, with plenty of attention, space, and affection — whether they enjoy company or prefer some quiet time.

“Lucia did a wonderful job caring for our cats, feeding them, changing their litter, and making sure everything was done exactly as we asked. She was efficient, caring, and a great communicator, and we would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”

About: As a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I’m comfortable handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. Growing up with my own pets and regularly assisting my mum, a professional dog walker, has equipped me with the skills I need. Having recently returned from travelling I now have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays weekends and even last-minute bookings. I understand the trust you place in me and promise your pets will always be in safe loving hands. Having recently returned from travelling, I’m currently in between jobs which means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends and bank holidays, and am happy to accommodate last-minute or short-notice bookings. Your pet will always have my full, undivided attention! At home, I have my own pets and a warm welcoming environment with a garden so your pet will have plenty of space to relax and play. I’ll treat them just like one of my own, maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible including feeding walks and any medications or special requirements. I’m equally happy to come to your home which means minimal disruption for your pet. They’ll stay in their familiar environment with all their home comforts. I’ll take care of everything from feeding and walks to keeping them company and sending you regular updates so you’re always in good hands.

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life and my passion goes far beyond the home. When travelling abroad, I visit local dog shelters in Greece to donate and walk the dogs. I've explored a rabbit rescue café in Poland, and I regularly donate to rabbit shelters here in the UK, because rabbits are often one of the most overlooked and neglected pets. Caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's who I am. Over the years I've shared my home with an incredible variety of animals — a cat, two dogs, and currently two beloved rabbits. I've also cared for gerbils, tropical fish, a hamster, a gecko, and two pet rats. That breadth of experience means I'm comfortable and confident with all kinds of pets. What I offer - Medication admin - Grooming - Dog walking - In-home sitting - Pet enrichment - Litter tray care I have hands-on experience cat sitting and dog sitting in clients' homes and can provide references. I'm equally at ease with smaller animals: hamsters, fish, and more. References are available on request. Favourite regulars ❤️ 🐾 Pomeranian 🐾 Cockapoo 🐾 German Hunting Dog 🐱 Russian Blue 🐱 British Shorthair I'm flexible and available most of the day, which means I can adapt to your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether your dog needs a midday check-in or your cat prefers company in the afternoon, I can work around what suits them best. I'm happy to discuss timing in advance so we can set up a schedule that gives you complete peace of mind. I care for pets exclusively in your home, so your animal stays in the environment they know and love, no upheaval, no unfamiliar smells, no stress. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect, keeping things tidy and secure at all times. I'll always follow your specific instructions for routines, feeding, and any particular habits your pet has. With experience caring for a wide range of animals — from dogs and cats to rabbits, fish, and small mammals, you can trust that your pet is in safe, experienced hands.

About: I’m a very active person so I love dogs that I can walk and or run. Ive been doing this for friends and family for as long as I can remember! I’m also a big knitter and lover of cosy evenings in so perfect for snuggles with a cat which I’ve also grown up with. I’m currently looking for full time work and am based in st Albans. I have plenty of time during my days to walk or look after your animal. I’m a very trustworthy 28year old female that loves all animals. I follow clear instructions and ask questions if I need to to make sure I’m providing the care you’d like

“Ben & Aimee are very nice people and great at communicating! They dropped in twice every day for my dog Kobe while I was away for a few days. Really grateful for their help!”

About: I regularly dog sit for family and friends and have done for many years. I have cared for dog with simple needs and also more sensitive dogs with complex needs and thoroughly enjoy both. I feed, walk, bathe and interect with them with the care and attention as if they were my own. This makes me their number one choice for a dog sitter. I work full-time in London and so only have weekends to care for pets, but I am commited to spending my time off caring for animals. I love to be active and spend my time off exercising and exploring the local area. I live in an average sized flat with no garden but am surrounded by green space and exciting dog walks and go outside regularly, even without dogs. The flat has a decent sized lounge which makes an excellent home for a dog.

“We were let down by another sitter and booked Emma to look after our cat, Scarlett, at short notice. Emma did a fantastic job: she provided detailed, daily updates, which reassured us that Scarlett was okay. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

About: I’ve had animals around me my whole life cats, dogs, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m used to all the little routines, from feeding and walks to cleaning up and giving cuddles (or space, if that’s what they prefer!). I treat every pet like one of my own and always do my best to keep things calm, safe, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work flexible hours, which allows me to provide consistent care, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I plan my schedule around my pet visits to ensure each animal receives my full attention, affection, and proper exercise. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s care instructions carefully and take the time to learn every pet’s unique habits and preferences. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine and environment to minimize stress.

About: Dogs need us but sometimes we can't be there all the time. During this time you need someone you can trust to care for them in the comfort of a loving home, and make them feel secure in your absence. Allow me to provide this for you. I work 1 or two weeks per month for several months. The rest of the time I am off and full time mummy so have plenty room for a furry four legged baby during those times. Garden is fully fenced and secure. I've always had dogs growing up. Cavalier King Charles. They were always one of the family. Your dog will be treated like it's our own

“Our cockerpoo Annie was instantly enamoured with Emma. She had a lovely way with her and clearly enjoyed looking after her. I would highly recommend Emma.”

About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs since I was little. Having first had a Scottish terrier growing up, I was able look after him at every stage of his life with increasing responsibility ensuring he was walked, clean, socialised and loved so that he enjoyed his life to the fullest. I’ve since re-homed two mixed terrier breeds with my family - Jackson and Yoda - so have experience working with anxious, reserved dogs since they needed significant help and patient reassurance adjusting to a completely new environment. I am accustomed to washing, exercising and feeding dogs as well as administering some medications and finding new ways to enrich their time. I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new dogs! I am currently a maths undergraduate at the University of Bath so have plenty of flexibility outside of the academic terms as well as during quieter periods to entertain and look after any dogs - whether they are perfect angels or more on the furry gremlin side of pets! I enjoy long walks myself so am happy to exercise your dog outside for as much time as they need. I am also available for drop in visits to check on and play with your dog most mornings and afternoons subject to occasional other commitments. I live near multiple parks, a golf course and some woodland areas – plenty of places for your dog to explore! I can easily adjust any walks to the capabilities of your dog.

About: Animal carer with over 15 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats. I bring confidence, reliability, and a genuine love for animals to every role. While based in London, I regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including extended stays and freelance dog walking. More recently, I worked full-time as a professional dog walker and day carer with Mad Dogs and Englishmen in Coogee, Sydney. This role significantly developed my skills, particularly in problem-solving and remaining calm under pressure, while reinforcing my commitment to high standards of animal care and safety. Since moving back to London I’m extremely keen to continue building on the valuable experience I’ve gained and spend more time with furry friends :) I work in hospitality and so my schedule is very flexible and I only need a week’s notice to guarantee a booking. I am also happy to accept bookings on the day, given that it fits in with my schedule. I have cared for several dogs recently both in and out of home for friends, family and clients. I am extremely adaptable to catering to each dog’s needs and ensure smooth sailing!
