About: Experienced dog & cat sitter in Morden, next to Morden Hall Park 🌳 🏠 I live in a house with my partner with a fenced in, secure garden. Having grown up with many animals, I miss their company and adore having the chance to look after them and treat them as my own! Whilst we’re not quite ready to take on a dog of our own, a house is not a home without the love from an animal ❤️ I only ever take one dog at a time to ensure they have our full and undivided attention. I’ve established and maintained relationships with numerous pet owners in my local area, with ongoing relationships for more than 3 years. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from puppies to seniors, from dachshunds to huskys. I WFH most of the week so have lots of time to spend giving love to a four legged friend. I’m also fortunate that my office is dog-friendly, so longer term boarders love coming with me to central London and get showered with attention and love from my colleagues! 🐶 I currently work from home most of the week. As a home body, I love spending time in my own space and love to share that with an animal! I like to keep fit with walks in Morden Hall Park which is a five minute walk away, so having a dog to join me is a joy. I treat animals as if they are my own, with endless care, cuddles and attention. Growing up with lots of pets I miss them having moved to London. There is no greater joy than hanging out with cats and dogs so everytime I do I cherish it!
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.
About: Hi, I’m Jay — a caring and reliable dog walker and pet sitter in South London. I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember — growing up with them from a baby right through to early adulthood. Since then, I’ve continued to dog walk and pet sit for friends and families whenever life has allowed, including cat sitting and boarding too. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes — from playful puppies to big, strong breeds — and I’ll always tailor walks and care to suit your pet’s routine and personality. I’m also comfortable administering medication (though still growing my experience here) and I’m especially interested in developing my knowledge in dog behaviour and training, so I’m always patient, observant, and gentle in my approach. ✅ Enhanced DBS checked (through my professional work as a midwife & doula) ✅ Certified in Pet First Aid & Life Support ✅ Flexible Monday–Friday (10:30–20:00), with some weekend availability Whether it’s a long park walk, a quick drop-in, or some cuddles at home, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own — with care, respect, and lots of love. I’d love to arrange a meet & greet so you and your pet feel fully at ease. I currently work part-time with my clients, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs. Most of my availability is during the week, perfect for owners heading into the office or traveling Monday to Friday, with some weekend slots also available! I believe movement is medicine, so I love active, playful walks and games with dogs. At the same time, I’m calm and attentive with pets who are anxious or adjusting to new environments, ensuring every visit prioritises safety, trust, and companionship.
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’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.
About: Animal lover since I can remember. Have a family dog (patterdale terrier) and after moving out, help with the occasional dog sitting. Would love to get to know and look after your pets! I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. The days I work changes each week but it does leave me with a good amount of time off so I'll hopefully be available to help! I have a 1 year old cat so I won't be able to have your pets stay at mine unfortunately, but would love to follow any instructions and routines that you might have.
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so long walks and plenty of exercise are something I genuinely enjoy — even better with a dog by my side. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher, my schedule gives me a great balance for pet care. During school holidays and weekends, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and company. I’m naturally very active and love being outdoors, so caring for dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have a fenced garden and a very secure spacious house for the dog to feel at home in. The area is very quiet and dog friendly.

About: Hi! I’m Lucy, a student in London and a lifelong dog lover. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and my family has always kept them at home. I have hands-on experience caring for all kinds of dogs: I’ve owned two Toy Poodles (Teddies), a Labrador Retriever, and a Giant Poodle, and also cared for a Golden Retriever for a period of time. I’m comfortable with both small breeds and large dogs, from daily walks and feeding to grooming and bathing. I know how to keep dogs happy, safe, and stick to their routines. I’m available most days (not just weekends!) and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m reliable, patient, and will send photos/videos during every visit so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. As a student, my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m free most days, including afternoons and evenings, usually after 1pm,so I can easily fit walks or visits in. I never rush and will always give your pet the full time they need. I’ve grown up with dogs and know how to keep them safe and happy. I’ll stick to your pet’s routine and send photos during every visit
“Emily has been amazing. Evie (our miniature dachshund) instantly connected with her, a credit to Emily's calm, loving and caring approach. They have lovely long walks together and Evie is always tired afterwards - sign of a good time! I totally trust Emily and highly recommend her.”

“Alice has been great with our two dogs Pepper and Brownie. She’s very helpful, flexible and trustworthy, and she always ensures the dogs always have a great time, I definitely recommend!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 5, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds. Moving to London in 2012 with just my dog was a big change, but it led me to pet sitting, which I've now been doing for 12 years. I live with my father and work full time as a pet sitter. I love taking long walks and creating a cosy, calm environment for pets. Whether it's puppies, seniors, or energetic dogs, I offer tailored, loving care for all! I work full time from home as a pet sitter, and look after my father and the house. I am a big homebody and in my spare time I enjoy playing the harp, studying naturopathic nutrition and energy work. The garden is fully fenced so there is no way they can escape! I live with my father so if one of us goes out to the shops then there is always someone available at home so they are never left alone <3 I will walk them as much as you do and keep to the same routine that they have at your home <3 :)
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with two family dogs and three cats. I genuinely enjoy caring for both dogs and cats, and I have plenty of experience as a pet sitter. My current work schedule doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own right now, I really miss the joy and companionship they bring. That’s why I love pet sitting, it gives me the chance to spend time with wonderful animals while giving their owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are in caring and trustworthy 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 maisonette 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.

About: Hello everyone! I’ve just finished my exams and am home in Wimbledon during the holidays.

I am currently in my summer holiday and will be free pretty much all the time until mid july. I can take dogs on walks or sit in anytime! I have a fenced garden alongside a very calm dog. I live in a pretty safe area (wimbledon) as well where there are lots of parks that i can take your dogs to during the day.

Olive (my mini dachshund) got on super well with tess both in our pre meet and during their walk - Tess was very accommodating meeting Olive at short notice to support me with walking her the next day. She was very considerate to asking what Olive needs and the feedback from their walk shows that Olive was very well looked after. We will continue to work with Tess on a more loyal basis and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others looking for trusted support for their pups!

Ben helped me out at the last minute even though it was the Easter weekend and was totally accommodating about it. He is great at communicating and even sorted out the booking for me when I messed it up on the app! Most important of all my dogs immediately loved Ben and thoroughly enjoyed their walks with him. Even my cat came to greet him when they returned from their walk so he must have a special way with animals. I'll definitely book Ben again and highly recommend him. Thank you Ben!

Mylo had another great walk with Judith today after a holiday back on the Isle of Man! It’s such a relief knowing he’s in safe, reliable hands every time. She clearly cares a lot about the dogs she looks after. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, I’m so happy to have found someone so dependable!
