Initially, I was very worried to leave her but now you are my go to person who I can completely trust with my cat. Much appreciated. Take care and God bless you.”


“Amelia took amazing care of my flat & cat, forming a bond with my tricky little madam Brooklyn. Amelia was always in touch to reassure me and went above and beyond to make sure all was well, which I really appreciated. I hope Amelia enjoyed the experience as much as Brooklyn because I'll be rebooking her whenever I'm away! <3”


“I would highly recommend Chuiwu, she took care of my cat (Dante) while my partner and I went for holidays. I had daily updates about Dante including pictures and notes how he was feeling every day. She is very experienced which helped a lot. I think first days in a new environment are always stressful for every cat but Chuiwu made sure that Dante felt safe and supported during that time. I will definitely use her service next time! ❤️”


“Sabina has been amazing, she has looked after our two cats really well, cleaning their toilets thoroughly and making sure they are fed, watered and played with everyday. Excellent communication with lots of updates and pictures. Sabina has also made sure to go back again and check on them again when they were not well or when something wasn’t right. Really great person and look forward to booking again! Our cats really enjoy her visits a a well, and always look happy in the videos!”


“Rebecca was fantastic with dropping in to check on my two kitties! She made sure to keep me updated with photos which was really reassuring. Hope to book with her again!”


About: I've take care of dogs and cats of friends or family since child. Sometimes just wanted to play with them. I also have my own animals and still have a cat at the moment. I do a couple of hours of work in the morning but not full time. And also doing a master which will be easier to schedule my hours. I have a fenced yard and all the safety environments needed. Inside they can be warm and eat when needed and play as they feel more comfortable.

About: Hello! I grew up in a home full of animals and have always shared a deep love for pets. Over the years, my family has cared for a variety of furry and scaly friends — including our beloved dog who lived a happy 13 years, three rabbits (not at the same time, each living up to 8 years), my dad’s cat, turtles, and fish. We now have a cheeky and sweet Maltipoo named Tofu, who is 1.5 years old. He’s friendly, well-socialised, and loves having other dogs around to play with. We waited a long time to find the right pup for our family, and he’s truly brought us so much joy. Before welcoming Tofu, I often looked after friends’ and colleagues’ dogs while they were away — from long weekends to 3-week holidays. I really enjoy being around dogs and caring for them like they’re part of the family. We’re a household of three: my mum (retired and always home), my partner, and myself. Both my partner and I work from home with flexible hours, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. We live near a large park and playground where many dogs gather and socialise regularly. Whether your dog prefers playtime with Tofu or some peaceful solo cuddles, we’ll do everything we can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am the main carer and I am currently on leave until November. My partner and I work from home with flexible schedules, and my retired mum is also at home. This means your dog will always have company, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. Tofu, our Maltipoo, also enjoys a consistent daily routine, so adding a new furry friend fits right in! We have a fully fenced garden and home security measures in place to ensure a safe environment. I always take time to understand each pet’s needs and preferences. I’m happy to handle vet visits, grooming appointments, and light hygiene care like baths if preferred by the owner. Your pet will be treated like part of the family with lots of love, patience, and attention to detail.

“Durga made our first holiday away from Camir and Cosy so much easier and less stressful. Her descriptions of our kitties in her daily reports were incredibly accurate, capturing their personalities perfectly! It was evident that she was very attentive to their needs. Durga was thorough in feeding them wet food as instructed, ensuring that the automatic kibble feeders and water fountain were functioning properly, and, on top of that, she gave them plenty of cuddles and playtime. Camir and Cosy are usually shy around new people, but the photos Durga provided during each visit showed how comfortable they were with her from day one. We are truly grateful and would certainly book her again for our future holidays!”


“Marina helped us while our usual sitter was in hospital. She was absolutely great and our dogs loved her. She kept us fully updated with photos and was very responsive. Would highly recommend.”


About: I’ve spent my life caring for both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra patience and love. I’ve had dogs of all sizes - from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds - and I understand the unique personalities and needs that come with each. I also have hands-on experience with rescue animals and pets who may be shy, anxious, or in need of a little extra reassurance. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle play, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m mid 30s and currently on gardening leave from my corporate job until October, so I’ve got plenty of time this summer to spend outdoors and around animals. My wife (pictured, but I will be the sole carer of your pet) and I own a house, and we’ve always loved having pets in our lives. I’m pretty laid-back — into golf, long walks, and the occasional motorbike ride — and I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of care, attention, and a relaxed, happy vibe while you’re away. In my home, pets would be looked after as we would look after our own. We have a cosy two-bed flat and a secure fenced garden, just between Wimbledon and Raynes Park . We’re only a short walk from Dundonald Park, perfect for strolls and playtime. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax, regular outdoor time, and lots of attention and affection. Whether it’s a game in the garden, a walk to the park, or simply some quiet company, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. In your home, I would take your lead on what your pet needs and likes.

“Courtney was a wonderful sitter for our 3 fur babies! We were away for two weeks, and that's always stressful, but it was so reassuring to have Courtney handling such a big part of it. We would definitely hire her again.”


About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities. I’ve had many pets throughout my life, so I understand how much they mean to you—and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or some cozy company while you’re away, I’ll be there with love, patience, and care. 🐶🐱 Let’s keep your pet happy, healthy, and tail-wagging! I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking on Thursdays, Fridays, and every other Wednesday—my dedicated days off from work. I work long shifts the other days (12-hour days), which means I don’t have a pet of my own right now, but I love spending my free time caring for other people’s dogs. My schedule allows me to give your pet my full attention, energy, and affection when they need it most! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and happy. In my home, pets enjoy a spacious, fenced-in garden to explore and play in, plus a cozy, pet-friendly space indoors filled with love, attention, and a friendly household atmosphere. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, medication, and cuddle time—just as you would. You can count on me to keep your furry family member safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with animals all my life. I have experience from small to large dogs and know the importance of good exercise and keeping to a good food schedule. I am a hybrid full time worker and mostly work from home on Mondays and Fridays and can easily fit pet care before, during and after work. I have grown up with all sorts of pets from dogs and cat to ferrets and chickens. I am open to keeping to your schedule. I can only go to the owners homes since my current house doesn’t allow pets

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life having owned two family dogs and three cats. I’m an experienced house sitter having completed 7 house and pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, ranging from weekend stays to month-long assignments, all with glowing 5-star reviews (you can check out some of them in my photo section!). Although my current work schedule means I can’t have a pet of my own right now, I really miss the joy and companionship animals bring. That’s why I absolutely love pet sitting – it gives me the chance to spend time with amazing animals while helping owners feel confident their pets are in safe, caring hands. I work full time as a doctor, I mainly will be free at weekends, some weeks I work weekends and will therefore have days available during the week instead. I live in a ground floor flat with direct access to a fenced garden and multiple commons/parks within close walking distance. I would provide all pets with ample attention and care that they require. I would also be happy to provide house/pet sitting services and would respect your space and leave it as you left it. I am fully DBS checked.

“Really excellent service from Sebastian. He dropped in to feed and administer medicine to my two cats every day for five days. He cheerfully kept me updated with photos and videos, was totally reliable, the litter tray was properly cleared each day, I returned to happy cats and a clean smelling flat, he had tidied the daily cat destruction and even took the rubbish bag out at the end of the stay. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks Sebastian!”


About: I stand out as a pet sitter because of my extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and my deep passion for their care. Growing up, I had the privilege of sharing my life with pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, lizards, and even hamsters—which taught me the importance of understanding the unique needs of each species. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve done work experience with horses, giving me valuable insight into caring for larger animals and reinforcing my ability to handle different temperaments. I also have firsthand experience raising and caring for my own puppy, Reggie. Training and looking after a young dog has honed my skills in patience, consistency, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or something in between, my diverse background ensures I’m equipped to handle it all. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during my free time. I love spending this time caring for and bonding with animals, whether it’s ensuring my cat Echo is happy and healthy or looking after other pets. In my downtime, I focus on feeding, grooming, and playing with them, making sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s cleaning litter boxes, preparing meals, or taking pets out for exercise, I find it incredibly rewarding to dedicate my free time to their well-being. It’s a chance for me to unwind while doing something meaningful, and it always brings me a sense of joy and fulfillment. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on providing them with comfort and maintaining their usual routine to minimize stress. Whether staying in the home or visiting for regular check-ins, I tailor my approach to meet the pet’s specific needs. For pets that require walks, I ensure they get the right amount of exercise and stimulation, keeping them safe and happy while exploring their favorite spots. During check-ins, I monitor their behavior, health, and comfort—whether it’s feeding them, refreshing their water, or simply giving them some playtime and affection. My goal is to make sure pets feel cared for and secure in their own environment while giving their owners peace of mind.
