Nese and her husband were absolutely lovely! From start to finish, they were incredibly attentive and considerate, providing us regularly detailed updates. They made a genuine effort to understand our dog's unique personality, respecting his boundaries and needs, and they were always willing to make any necessary adaptations to ensure his comfort. They are super observant. Their dog is super friendly and playful, which helped Sushi to get comfortable. They also have a great garden and a park nearby, keeping our dog active and entertained. Thank you so much for looking after him so well !!! We definitely recommend them! 💖💖💖

Ermelinda has been absolutely amazing. The time, care, and attention she has given to Lino has truly gone above and beyond. She, along with her children, have looked after him as if he were part of their own family. Knowing he is with someone so kind, patient, and genuinely caring brings us so much peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done. Highly recommended!

About: I’m a very active, outdoorsy person who loves walking, hiking, and running, so your dog will always get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a longer adventure, I tailor walks to suit each dog’s needs and energy level. Living with a high-energy hound, I’m especially mindful of secure walking, scent distractions, and adapting to dogs who experience the world nose-first. I’m currently a law student and spend around 75% of my time at home outside of term time, meaning your pet will have consistent attention, supervision, and company throughout the day. My home offers a balance of activity and calm, ideal for pets who enjoy stimulation or downtime. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and am confident caring for a wide range of personalities, from energetic, curious dogs to very low-maintenance, independent cats. With one pet who could run all day and another who happily sleeps in a cardboard box 90% of the time, I’m very used to meeting animals exactly where they are. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, managing different temperaments, and ensuring every pet feels safe, settled, and well cared for. What really sets me apart is how fully I integrate pets into my life. My dog is my best friend and joins me on everything from long hikes to city walks and outdoor activities, while at home she’s just as happy curled up beside my cat. I bring that same level of care, attention, and genuine affection to every pet I look after. Whether they need adventure, reassurance, or simply a calm presence. I also have a crate available in my home for dogs who are crate-trained or still learning, and I’m always happy to accommodate individual routines and preferences. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday routine, so having another dog fits in seamlessly. I structure my days around walks, exercise, and downtime, ensuring each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their individual needs. I’m home most of the time outside of term, so dogs receive plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. During the summer, I’m available close to 7 days a week for boarding and at minimum Monday to Friday for dog walking, with weekend availability depending on plans and my volunteer schedule. While I do have a few out-of-town trips planned, I always provide plenty of notice and can offer consistent care for returning and recurring bookings. I live in an apartment and focus on creating a calm, secure environment for any dog in my care. All dogs receive at least two proper walks a day, with the length and pace tailored to their needs. I’m careful about handling, especially with dogs who are easily distracted or have strong scent drives, and keep them safely on lead when needed. I stick closely to each dog’s routine and preferences, including feeding, exercise, and rest. Dogs have space to settle and relax, and I supervise closely to make sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs or those still working on it and supply a crate within my home.

About: I’ve looked after and owned pets (horses, cats, dogs) since I was a child. I am a huge animal lover and am at my happiest when surrounded by them. Dogs over people I always say! You can rest assured your pet will be treated like one of my own! What I can provide: - up to an hour walk each day and up to two hours in the evenings -a safe, secure home: No real plants or flowers inside and only pet friendly plants outside; 6 foot fenced garden; front gate -happy to stick to any rules around current training (I.e stop walking when dog is pulling on leash) -dog treats (100% meat) -dog towels and blankets -two big baskets of toys -whilst I have a spare dog bed, dogs are allowed on all furniture & I am happy for the dog to sleep in my bed with me if they like -dogs NEVER left alone unless agreed prior with owner -house is cleaned with non toxic cleaning products -no children in the home - a quiet, relaxed and peaceful home for them to relax -toilet break as needed - regular updates throughout their stay (photos and general updates) I currently work from home full time & have a very flexible schedule! I have my own car so am able to offer a pick up and drop off service if needed! I live a few minutes from Cannon Hill Common and 25 mins walk from Wimbledon common so regularly frequent both! Fenced garden (6 foot), and private entry to the house. House is over three floors and hard floor throughout the ground floor (ideal for muddy paws) I work from the kitchen so am able to keep an eye on pets at all times as we have an open plan ground floor! Pets are allowed on furniture but I always speak to owner first so that I don’t allow pets to do anything that conflicts with owners current training schedule !

From the moment they met, she bonded with him so quickly, making him feel safe and comfortable. She took him on walks, gave him plenty of attention, and ensured he was happy and relaxed throughout his stay. We highly recommend Sarah and Chip!

Sabina, Adriano and Ada took such wonderful care of Ozzie while I was overseas, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were kind, communicative and clearly genuine dog lovers. Ozzie absolutely adored his time with them it was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy he was. They treated him like part of the family, and it really showed in how relaxed and content he was when I returned. Ada in particular had such a lovely, natural way with him. I also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sabina and Adriano to anyone looking for a safe, loving and trustworthy home for their dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Ozzie stay with them again.

I cannot thank Violet and her family enough for the incredible care they took of Poppy. We had a horrible health scare just one week before our holiday, to the point we almost cancelled it entirely. Violet was understanding, accepting, and reassuring of Poppy being unwell and needing extra special attention to ensure she didn’t further injure her back (on top of the other health issues she has on a regular basis). We knew Poppy would be in amazing hands, and we were 100% right! Violet sent us regular updates to ease our concerns, and Poppy has come back to us in better health than we left her, perhaps even a bit sad that her holiday is over. We are so grateful and will definitely return to Violet for future petsitting needs! Thank you Violet and family, you are amazing ❤️
