“We have booked with Clara many times before, and this time was no exception - she is wonderful with the cats and keeps us in the loop with good communication and plenty photos! Always at ease while we're away on holiday :)”
“Hannah took wonderful care of our puppy while we were away. He was well looked after. She made sure to feed him, clean up after him, and take him on a walk. We came home to a very content and happy puppy, and I couldn't have been more pleased with her service. I would absolutely have Hannah back to look after our precious pup and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a kind, reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: Hi my name is Olivia and I live with my partner James in Morden. We absolutely love dogs and hope to get one of our own some day, but for now I'm looking to put my dog care experience to good use, and would love to look after your pet for you! Whilst I'll be the main carer, James has also spent lots of time with dogs and so is often on hand for extra cuddles and playtime too. I had a black labrador as a child so have been around dogs from a young age. Since then I have regularly looked after dogs for friends and family. I regularly looked after a friends dog with seperation anxiety, keeping them company and being a calming influence whilst the owners were at work. I've also cared for other peoples dogs through the likes of Borrow my Doggy and Trusted House Sitters. I am experienced in feeding, walking and entertaining dogs. I would always follow your instructions and their routine. I work quite flexibly. I work part time and am also a part time PhD student. I work from home and have a flexible schedule on my PhD days to accommodate your schedule. On weekends and evenings my partner James is also around and tends to help me out with any pets in our care. I have an enclosed garden so your dog can go outside safely. I am happy to accommodate your dog as best I can so just let me know what they need. I live very close to Morden Hall Park as well as lots of other green spaces and so would be sure to take your dog out for a walk(s) as needed throughout the day.
“Rhiannon did a great job looking after Ziggy. Gave her lots of loving as well as her food and medication. Went above and beyond to make sure she was well looked after. Daily pics showed a well feed contented cat. Just what we hoped for. Thanks again. ”
“Excellent service from Karie. She sent us thoughtful daily updates and photos and was flexible when we made a slight change to the booking. Many thanks Karie for taking good care of our cat!”
“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 have lots of experience looking after all furry friends. I have a car so can accept last minute / longer distance requests. Since I could speak, every birthday I’d ask for a new pet to extend my fur-family: from cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and gerbils! This then transitioned into my neighbours trusting me to look after their pets. So I have 10+ years of experience looking after pets. I understand all animals have their own needs so please let me know any specific requirements I need to care for. I am currently living in Wimbledon so I miss my cockapoo Bobby very much! I have flexible hours and WFH 4 days of the week. I currently WFH 4/5 days of the week. This day changes weekly but my calendar is always up to date. Therefore, I have lots of time to take care of your furry friends! I am available morning - evening. Your fur friend will receive an endless amount of love staying with me. I have a fenced garden and live outside a park for lots of walkies! I live with my boyfriend who also loves dogs.
“Amy was fantastic with Sunny (my cat)! She was very attentive to his needs, fed him well and made sure he was well hydrated too! I appreciated the time and effort to play with Sunny and give him lots of pets. Would definitely rebook Amy again to take care of Sunny!”
“Excellent cat-sitter, Desi is friendly and professional and my cat loved spending time playing with her. She was regular with photos and updates, and my cat was happy and very well cared for, which gave me huge peace of mind whilst I was away. Good communicator. Highly recommended.”
“Chuiwu was wonderful looking after my cat while I was away. She was very communicative, and sent me so many pictures and videos of my cat which made me feel so relaxed that she was in good hands. I would highly recommend her, and will be using her in the future!”
“Im so glad I found Elena. Not only did she come to our rescue when our cat-sitter pulled out, but she also recognised when Siena needed urgent care. She has had a tough job looking after my sick kitty, but she was amazing. I felt at ease leaving Siena in Elena's care. I hope Siena recovers and Elena gets to experience her at her best!”
“Ivy was the best ! 😻😻😻😻She look after my cats perfectly . She’s so lovely friendly Person . She was sending daily pictures of my cats and videos . My cats was so happy with her . I highly recommend ivy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ”
About: I’ve grown up with Border Collies all my life—my first from age 7. While living at home until 2 years ago, I was the main dog sitter whenever my parents were away, which meant daily feeding, walks, and lots of playtime. I’m very used to taking dogs on long country walks and making sure they get both exercise and companionship. I can’t have a dog of my own right now, but I really miss that connection and would love to help care for others’ pets. I understand how important a dog is as part of your family, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care as I would my own - that’s why I will never be looking after more than one family’s pets at a time time make sure I can fully focus on their needs, it also means I’m happy to look after any pets that don’t do well with others as they will be my only priority. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities - their safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I’m currently wfh full time so my schedule is completely open and flexible. That means I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, play sessions, or just keeping your pet company throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important routines are, so I will always follow your schedule and rules closely—whether that means feeding times, walk routes, or special care instructions. I’m happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment or welcome them into mine, and I’ll make sure they always feel secure, loved, and well looked after.
“Sebastian was great with our pup Tikka and flexed the time too to come a bit earlier which was much appreciated! He was happy to chat before coming which was great and spent an hour playing with her and keeping her company. Would recommend Sebastian!”
“Vilma looked after our cat Loki and we couldn’t have been happier. She was prompt, kept us regularly updated with messages and photos and her and the cat got on incredibly well. Would absolutely recommend.”

I work part time so I have more than plenty of time tonlook after your furry friends, able to take them out on walks or do drop ins whenever needed.

Hannah took such wonderful care of my cat, Cuthbert, while I was away for the weekend. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and reliable hands. She kept me updated, the feedback and pictures were amazing and made sure he was happy and well looked after, and it was clear he was comfortable with her. I came home to a happy, content cat, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pets. Thank you so much 🥰🩷
We couldn’t have been happier with the care our cats received. She was incredibly patient, kind and attentive with them, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. Our cats can be a bit particular at times, but she took everything in her stride and made sure they were comfortable and well looked after. We came home to happy, relaxed cats, which says it all. We’d absolutely book her again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much Kimberley 🐱😊
Ilke was amazing with our cats for the second time again. You can really tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. During the heatwave she even made ice packs for them and placed wet towels around the house to keep them comfortable and cool. We never had to worry for a second and received lovely updates throughout. Our cats absolutely adore her and we would happily trust her again anytime. Highly recommend ❤️
Simone was fantastic! She was always timely, provided plenty of updates, and sent lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat Tao is usually very shy around new people, but he quickly warmed up to Simone and seemed to genuinely look forward to her visits. It was so reassuring to know she was in such caring hands. I would absolutely book Simone again and highly recommend her to others.
Lisa was an excellent cat sitter and incredibly flexible throughout our time away. She visited our cats every day, spent time playing with them, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. During the unexpected heat wave, she paid extra attention to their wellbeing and checked that they were staying cool and comfortable. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and gave them lots of affection, attention, and reassurance while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and caring pet sitter, and I very much hope we can continue working with her in the future. Thank you so much for everything, Lisa!
I feel so happy found Clara, she’s awesome! From day one, she stuck to my girls’ routine perfectly and really paid attention to all the little details. Her daily updates were great, always detailed, with super cute photos of my girls and clear notes on how they were doing. It honestly gave me so much peace of mind. When she noticed one of my cats had a slightly weird-looking eye, she told me right away and even checked in again the next day to make sure everything was okay. That kind of care means a lot. She’s also really easy to talk to—super friendly and quick to reply. And you can tell she genuinely loves cats. She treats them with so much care and affection. I’d recommend her 200% without hesitation. If you want someone who’ll treat your cats like her own, Clara is the person 🐾💖
