“Natasha and George were amazing with our French Bulldog! He's a rescue and has some behavioural issues with new people and they were so patient and understanding with him. They sent us lots of photos during the stay which was really comforting as well. We have another stay booked in May and feel so happy with our choice of sitters!”
“Jack was fantastic, looking after our 2yo cavalier, Cooper, for two weeks. We had unprompted daily updates and photos, helping ease our mind that he was getting plenty of care and stimulation. He clearly enjoyed himself, with lots of walks and healthy treats. Jack was happy to apply advocate and check in on any behaviour that may be out of character, and I think Coopers fur was the softest we have ever seen it, due to the care and attention provided. I couldn’t recommend Jack enough for anyone wanting a comfortable home stay for their dogs!”
“Sabie came back from her stay with Lyudmila a happy pup. We received many photos and video updates which helped us relax with the knowledge she was being looked after. We will definitely use Lyudmila’s service when the need arises again.”
About: In 2024/25, my partner Lin and I have completed over 20 successful House-Sits (including 5 repeated sits) for 29 dogs, 13 cats, 7 chickens and 6 alpacas. From energetic puppies to elderly rescues with medical needs. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, or keeping your home tidy and secure, we take pride in treating every sit as if they were our own. Rest assured, you’ll have peace of mind whilst you’re away. Now we are settled in south London and ready to provide repeated drop-in or walk services to our new neighbors. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! We both work from home and are very flexible with our living arrangements. We make our schedule adhere to the routines of the pets that we care for, and this means we can give your pets all the love and attention they need while you're away. We are happy to arrive early before the sit to get to know you and your pets better! We're very careful about committing to a sit, as we know that once a commitment is made, you're relying on us to follow through with all the responsibilities you're hiring us for, and this entire arrangement relies on the trust you're placing in us to care for your pets and home. We usually arrive with plenty of time to go through the details, making sure we know all there is to know about the routines, favourite walks and all the dos and don'ts for your pets. Frequent updates with photos and videos will be sent to you unless you want a quiet holiday.
“Maanik had an amazing time with Ally! She is so caring and patient and will really listen and help with any specific needs for your dog. She was kind and welcoming and our dog warmed up to her very quickly! Will definitely book with Ally again. :)”
“Nayla was great! She cared so much for Brinjal, and looked after him incredibly well. Brinjal had such a happy stay with her. She was responsive and thoughtful, and very communicative throughout. Would certainly recommend Nayla for anyone looking to have someone take care of their pet!”
“Daisy had the best time staying with Sarah 😊 she had lots of walks, cuddles and play and Sarah kept in touch with me throughout the weekend letting me know how Daisy was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah (and Chip) again and again. Thank you for taking such lovely care of my puppy! X”
“Lauren and Jack are so great! Nacho loved his time with them. Lauren and Jack kept us up-to-date with Nacho’s little holiday with photos, which was great - he was out walking, cuddling and playing - all his fave things. Thanks Lauren and Jack - you were amazing!”
“Juliet took care of our family pet Mickey(anxious- rescue) for 12 days without any issues. He took time to settle in with Juliet but she handled it well so we could have peaceful holiday. She walked him well and he was in good shape when returned. I strongly recommend Juliet and would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Remy! Wing shared lots of photos and videos of our Frenchies playing and relaxing together, as well as updates on how well he was settling in. I would trust her to have him again”
About: I’ve work from home full time and have been around dogs ever since I was a a teenager and worked at a groomers for a few years. I have had 2 dogs of my own and have experience looking after up to 2 dogs in my household at any one time, with different needs. I love dogs and treat every single one as my own when I take care of them, and they will be getting all the cuddles in the world! I live alone and work from home full time on a flexible schedule so I can accommodate all walking/feeding/potty schedules. Any pups that come round are a part of my life so rest assured I will take care of them like they are my own. They normally sleep in my bed unless there is another preference from the owner. I live in a one bed by myself and have a large couch for your pup to get comfortable on! I have 3 large commons near me for walkies as well.
“Hugo was amazing and our French Bulldog loved his stay! From the moment we enquired he was really quick and friendly in responses, put us at ease and gave daily updates and pics. Couldn't be happier with the experience and would definitely use Hugo again!”
“Kat was brilliant with Gofio even though he's a handful. Gofio needs lots of understanding, patience, space and play so I can't leave him just with any sitter. Kat listened to us and him! She's survived 18 nights of cuddles and gave him all her attention. Gofio was safe, well looked after and fed. Kat is sure to keep seeing Gofio! :)”
“What a lovely home to leave my baby Kiwi in, very friendly and accommodating from the start to finish. Will 100% recommend and be using again. Thanks again so much for looking after my pup xx”
“Melissa is an exceptional dog sitter. She took the time to meet Rocky and us beforehand, showing great attentiveness. We entrusted her with Rocky overnight, and she cared for him wonderfully. We now feel confident leaving him with her for a more extended stay. We recommend her services to anyone needing a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

Dolly had a great stay for a few days with Natasha and George. They are real dog lovers and are very easy to work with - they sent regular updates, and with the hot weather they made sure walkies were done early before it got hot! Dolly was upset to come home but she will be back soon.
Ally was super friendly and accommodating with Cleo and Milly. Both pooches instantly connected with her. Ally gave me updates and sent pictures the whole day and was also very flexible. Thanks so much, Cleo and Milly both look forward to spending time with you again☺️
Mabel had the best time with Lily. Lily is such fun, caring and just the right person to look after my puppy. She sent photos and videos and kept me informed as to how Mabel was doing. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her! Mabel is staying again in August and I’m sure she can’t wait!
Angela was very personable and it was clear from our meet and greet, that Louis would be comfortable with her and little Millie . Louis was well looked after. We received updates and pictures. He was happy and able to fit in seamlessly. Very happy to leave him again . Thank you Angela .
Cheyenne was great with Milo! Was very welcoming and chatty and made us feel at ease leaving Milo with her. She gave us regular updates, always made sure to let us know what they were doing and with photos. Milo didn’t want to come home! She had a lovely home for dogs and Milo felt at home lying and cuddling them on the sofa! 100% would recommend and would definitely use Cheyenne again in the future ⭐️
Natalie was fabulous - the dogs really enjoyed themselves with her & Tom, plus their lovely Cavapoo, Chewy! He played with them in the park, he played with them at home, they curled up together, lovely to see. Natalie sent plentiful photos & videos so I could see how much they were enjoying all their usual activities (playing, cuddling, snoozing). Also, when I had problems with my return journey Natalie was very pro-active at thinking ahead about extra food, should they need to stay an extra night (which she was also willing to accommodate). Would definitely leave my dogs with her again.
Yasmin and my dog Cinder have become fast friends. Cinder always has a great time with Yasmin, and she came home positively beaming after having the chance to board with Yasmin and her lovely family. It was clear she had been spoiled rotten with lots of love, attention, and long walks. We will be booking with Yasmin again!
Thank you so much! Ella looked after my 4 month old puppy for the day and it was my first time using Rover with him. She kept me up to date and constantly put my mind at ease - letting me know how he was settling in and getting on. He was so happy when we picked him up, so will definitely be staying in touch with Ella! :)
Our Dog Bentley had a fantastic stay, Jo could not be more helpful and kept us up to date with photos during his stay, will definitely be using Jo for future trips and would recommend anyone who asks, fantastic value for money to and much better than Kennels where I'm sure Bentley would not of received the love and care he got!
Sophie was absolutely fantastic with Duchess. From the regular updates and photos to the love and care she showed throughout, I knew Duchess was in the best hands. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duchess!
Kat took great care of our dog, Ariel, while we were away. Ariel can be a little nervous, but Kat was patient and caring, and she quickly put her at ease. We really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us peace of mind and reassured us that Ariel was happy and well looked after. It was clear from the start that Kat genuinely loves dogs, and Ariel was in very good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.
