“This is the second time Anna has taken out my little dog Winston and she does such a fantastic job. She really takes care with following instructions and sends lots of photo and video updates - which are really appreciated. I’ll definitely be using Anna again in the future. Thanks Anna!”

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.
“Sebastian was fantastic with Hector - available last minute which really helped us, was super communicative and made sure Hector had a good exercise. Will definitely be rebooking!”

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!

Have lots of dogs toys balls/flying rings to play outside.

From walks to playtime snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a good track record for caring for others’ dogs ranging from a day to a week. I take pride in creating a safe and nurturing environment for animals. I’m well equipped to give them all the care they need. I work from home most weekdays and I’m in London almost every weekend. I’m happy to look after pets in the week and if I’m home on the weekend as well. I work from home and I’m able to provide constant care and attention throughout the day.

After losing our family dog when I was younger, I’m really missing having a furry companion, so I’d love to help walk and care for your dog like they’re my own💝 I work full time on a hybrid schedule.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including my own rescue dog and a large-breed dog. Through years of dog walking and pet sitting, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language, and individual care needs. I regularly attend training sessions with my own dogs and am currently completing courses in Dog Behaviour & Training and Professional Dog Walking. This helps me provide safe, positive, and enriching care for every dog I look after. My experience includes caring for energetic young dogs, nervous or rescue dogs who need extra patience and confidence-building, and larger breeds that require consistent handling. I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment where dogs feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own two dogs every day, including walks, training, playtime, feeding, and enrichment activities. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide regular walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. 🐾 Available all weekends, and love making some trip to dog friendly beaches or big parks. Safety and comfort are my priorities when caring for pets. At home, I have two built-in crates and two large travel crates available for dogs who feel more secure having their own quiet space. If needed, crates can be set up in our bedroom to help dogs settle and feel comfortable, especially during overnight stays. My home has a large, secure garden with an agility area, a dog swimming pool, and a variety of enrichment activities and games to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated throughout the day. I tailor activities to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. I follow owners’ routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication, and training preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
“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.”

I cannot recommend Tess enough - she is wonderful with Olive and also has gone above and beyond for me today to be flexible and have Olive for a longer period of time than anticipated due to changes in circumstance. She has kept me updated on Olive and she seems so happy in her care. I would recommend Tess to anyone who’s looking to ensure their pup is well looked after and cared for!

Cannot thank Sofia enough! I reached out last minute for a dog walking/sitting request for our 4-month old puppy Charles, and she responded very quickly to the request. Communication was great, and she sent me loads of photos and videos from the walk and sitting - this was our puppy's first time being with a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous at first but it looks like he loved it! He is now fast asleep at our house - a good sign of time well spent. Thank you again Sofia for your help!
