“Our schedules have been in a bit of flux recently and Chris has been very accomodating with all the changes and spoils spud! We are so grateful to have found Chris!!”


About: My childhood i was surrounded by dogs and cats. Now i am a happy owner of Yorkshire Terrier girl. Time to time i am looking after my friends pets and i love it :) I am working from home, so most of the day i am in. I am walking to the park with my dog everyday as we both love it and enjoying time we spend together. I have fenced garden to protect my daughter and also my dog and i didn't have any problems before. New dog I am keeping on the lead in the park.

“We have two older dogs who really don’t like us going away without them, Ben was so accommodating and on the days they really didn’t want to walk he spent time with them in the garden doing some activities and building trust. Highly recommend Ben.”


“I was extremely happy with the service Ella provided. She responded straight away to all of my messages. She took Paddy on a lovely long walk and he was very happy when I got home. She also posted lots of great pictures along the way. Thank you Ella!”


About: I love taking care of dogs! I've grown up looking after my family, neighbours and friends pets. I also used to volunteer at a local Greyhound shelter. I have experience with multiple breeds such as Jack Russel, German Shepard, Retrievers, Greyhounds, Pomeranian and many more. I often work from home, so I typically will have time in the weekday evenings or mornings for walks etc. I'll have the most flexibility on the weekends. I'm experienced in finding great routes within the local area to take your dog on fun and safe walks. Happy to adapt these routes to the energy level and location of the dog.

“A really reliable dog walker, very communicative and punctual. Detailed dog cards and I know Murphy has felt as ease with Amy as he actually goes out the front with her ( and not just the garden ) which has been rare for him with people he doesn’t know. Would recommend to anyone in the Wimbledon area 🌻💛”


“Sebastian walked our dog Fraser for three days while our regular dog walker was on holiday. We found him to be very reliable and friendly and he gave Fraser a good long walk each time. I’d be happy to recommend Sebastian to others and am pleased to know we have someone extra to help us out when needed.”


“Ellen is just fantastic with Tiggy, she is always very reliable and communicative and leaves us with a very happy and content little dog. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”


“Scout loved going for long walks with Ruta over the last few days. Great communication too with lots of updates and pictures from the walks - thank you !!!”


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. 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.

“Great communication and caring for my dog Will definitely book again”


About: I have taken care of animals my whole life from having a cocker spaniel for 13 years and also currently having a Goldie. I have a full BTEC diploma in Animal management and Animal Care. I am currently unemployed so i have all the time needed to take amazing care of my pets. I am available all days of the week currently but if there are changes i will update! I have a fenced back yard. I have a Golden Retriever currently and two gorgeous and friendly cats. My goldie also loves being around dogs and cats and he is extremely friendly and energetic

About: *We are currently at capacity for regular weekly bookings so unfortunately we are not currently accepting new requests for these. However, we are happy to accept requests for ad-hoc bookings / one-off bookings / holidays / emergencies etc* Between us, Carly and I have had plenty of experience caring for pets. Together, we rescued our beagle Thea in 2021 and she is now a loved member of our family. Prior to that, Rahim lived with and looked after Millie the cat, and Carly lived with her cats Popsicle and Sheba for over a decade, as well as her dog Rosco. We have looked after 20+ dogs via Rover since starting dogsitting last year, and have a number of regular bookings. We are always happy and excited to meet new dogs, so please do get in touch if we can be of help! We both work from home (at least one of us is always home during the week) and manage our own schedules, so we will always be around to ensure your pets are being looked after and kept happy. We live in a spacious 4 bedroom house with a large secure garden. Ravensbury Park and Morden Hall Park are both a stone’s throw away and we love going there at least twice a day to walk Thea and get some fresh air.

About: My name is Ali, I’ve grown up with dogs as a child of all different breeds and sizes, from Great Danes to labradors. I recently lost my greyhound and I miss having a dog in my life. Due to the nature of my shift work, I don’t think I could commit to having another dog just yet. I understand that London is such a busy city and sometimes we need a helping hand when it comes to taking care of our pets. I’m excited to give you guys help with your dogs as and when you need! I’m a paramedic so I work shifts, the pattern is 2 day shifts, 2 night shifts followed by 5 days off! I live alone in my own home and have a lot of free time during my 5 days off to care for your fury friends. I live alone in a one bedroom flat, it is approximately a 2 minute walk from a fenced off field. I don’t own a crate but have plenty of space for your dog to lounge around!

About: I lived in South Africa for over 20 years and have a great sense of love and compassion for all animals. I have owned and cared for several of my own canines and other animal species throughout my life, therefore I have a great understanding of how to care for animals especially dogs. My love for dogs began at a young age when my grandparents used to take my brother and I to dog shows in South Africa to compete so I have a excellent understanding of all species behaviour and caring requirements. I believe all animals need love, care and attention in order to truly thrive. I work full time but have flexibility to work from home two days a week and am free most weekends so can easily adjust my schedule to care for your precious pets. I live in a penthouse flat in Wimbledon with a very large terrace and tall railings fixed to a concrete upstand. There is a lift for access to my floor level and a large park which is a 2min walk from my building.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover with a deep affection for both dogs and cats. I take pride in providing gentle, attentive care and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I plan my days around scheduled walks, feeding times, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the attention and love they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon cuddles, or evening playtime, I enjoy creating a consistent and comforting routine that keeps pets happy and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day. In My Home: I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog or cat will feel safe and loved. I follow their routine closely—meals, walks, playtime, and rest—just like at home. I keep spaces clean, provide cozy spots for naps, and give plenty of affection and attention. In Your Home: I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get their daily walks or play sessions, and have plenty of companionship. I’ll keep your home tidy, send regular updates, and ensure your pet feels secure and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi, I am Marina, you local pet expert. I was fascinated by animals since I was a child. I enjoyed helping my aunt to care for sick animals at her vet clinic. 12 years ago I started to look after pets for my friends on ad hoc basis. One day I realised just how rewarding it is and that the pets look forward to my visits. My client list grew and I decided to become a professional pet sitter. I am available to look after your furry friend most do the days. I know life could be challenging, so I am available on a short notice. I have fully fenced garden and a open space plan in the house, so your animal won’t feel claustrophobic. When your furry friend stays with us, I walk the dog at least twice a day for over an hour each time. We live near Morden hall park, where gods have space to run around. Have lots of dogs toys balls/flying rings to play outside.

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.
