“Clara was brilliant once again! Looked after our 2 cats wonderfully and kept us informed daily with updates and photos. Was even adaptable and noticed one of our cats hadn't eaten all her breakfast, but kept an eye and made sure she ate. As always, very impressed and pleased coming back to two happy cats!”

“Hannah is absolutely great! She is always available for last minute check ins with Rambo and she knows how to manage him since he is still a little puppy and a bit shy! Thanks Hannah :)”

“Karie was amazing with my two cats! Very responsive, attentive and generous with her time. She looked after Belino and Drax for 2 weeks whilst I was away and I was reassured they were having the best time. Karie too her time to play with the cats, give them cuddles, brush and of course feed them. Always updating me with great photos! I came back to two relaxing boys 🥰”

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: Lifelong dog lover who’s cared for family and friends’ doggies for years! 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. My work from home days change each week so my availability will change depending on this, but I am flexible and able to walk dogs when I wfh (lunch breaks, morning walks etc). I can also have availability during the weekend I would be looking to care for a pet in the owners home due to living in rented accommodation. Will mainly offer dog walking services and some drop in visits

“Rhiannon did a great job looking after Ziggy. Gave her lots of loving as well as her food and medication. Went above and beyond to make sure she was well looked after. Daily pics showed a well feed contented cat. Just what we hoped for. Thanks again. ”

About: I provide reliable, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, whether that means energetic walks for younger dogs or gentle care for puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. I enjoy spending time with dogs and plan my schedule so they receive the care and companionship they need. I provide safe, reliable, and loving pet care in both my home and the owner’s home. I follow each dog’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Marina helped us while our usual sitter was in hospital. She was absolutely great and our dogs loved her. She kept us fully updated with photos and was very responsive. Would highly recommend.”

“Im so glad I found Elena. Not only did she come to our rescue when our cat-sitter pulled out, but she also recognised when Siena needed urgent care. She has had a tough job looking after my sick kitty, but she was amazing. I felt at ease leaving Siena in Elena's care. I hope Siena recovers and Elena gets to experience her at her best!”


“Excellent cat-sitter, Desi is friendly and professional and my cat loved spending time playing with her. She was regular with photos and updates, and my cat was happy and very well cared for, which gave me huge peace of mind whilst I was away. Good communicator. Highly recommended.”

“Vilma looked after our cat Loki and we couldn’t have been happier. She was prompt, kept us regularly updated with messages and photos and her and the cat got on incredibly well. Would absolutely recommend.”

“Ivy was the best ! 😻😻😻😻She look after my cats perfectly . She’s so lovely friendly Person . She was sending daily pictures of my cats and videos . My cats was so happy with her . I highly recommend ivy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ”

“Sebastian was great with our pup Tikka and flexed the time too to come a bit earlier which was much appreciated! He was happy to chat before coming which was great and spent an hour playing with her and keeping her company. Would recommend Sebastian!”


About: I loved looking after cats and dogs from a young age, as I grew up I started looking after my friends, or family members pets whenever they were away. I work part time and I also have a certificate in pet first aid, along with dog walking certificates. I also work part time as a dog walker whenever I get the chance. I work part time so I have more than plenty of time tonlook after your furry friends, able to take them out on walks or do drop ins whenever needed. I have a garden and plenty of parks near me if you need a dog to be walked, pretty big house too so your furry friend can go wherever they want and sleep wherever they want
About: I have loved dogs all my life. I have a 4.5yo German shepherd so am well versed with the needs of an intelligent breed. I love spending time with dogs and dogs enjoy my compnay (if I say so myself). I enjoy walks and meeting new dogs and will provide a loving environment in your absence I mostly work from home so am used to taking care of dogs during my work hours. I can take regular breaks during my meetings to walk your loved ones and can spend time with them and talk to them at most times. I have a lot of experience training and tending to my dog for the past 4.5 years. I also grew up loving dog so am aware of their need for proximity but sometimes , distance :) i can understand dog body language most times and can look after your loved ones in your absence
About: Hello, my name is Nesli! I’m a huge dog person and have been looking after friends and family dogs for years as I love spending time with them :) I used to look after a gorgeous Shih Tzu, Willow, who had severe separation anxiety so always had to be around people. She belonged to a colleague and I was their go to sitter as Willow and I got on so well and because I really loved and cared for her. I’d have her a lot of the weekends, whenever her owners went on holidays for a couple of weeks, I even had her for 2.5months at one point as the owner had to go and deal with a sickness in the family. I love building a bond with dogs and find it quite easy to do so, so when they’re with me we both feel at home :) I live in a ground floor flat with a small courtyard at the back. I am a 5 minute walking distance from two huge parks - Morden Hall Park and Morden Park. I have a car so can help with pick up and drop off within reasonable distance. I am a pilates instructor so I have quite a relaxed schedule, I tend to teach maximum 2 / 3 classes a day. I am usually home for big chunks of time between classes if I have multiple on a day, as I only teach in surrounding areas to my flat. I will also have random days off with no classes at all during the week and I don’t teach Sundays :) As my schedule is quite flexible, I can usually work around your timings quite easily. Weekends / weekdays don’t make much of a difference to me as I don’t have the Monday to Friday job structure. I don’t currently have any other pets, so you don’t need to worry about your dog having to adjust to another pet in the house. I have a small backyard that is completely fenced off with a big wall, so it is safe to nip out there for toilet breaks / to stretch small doggos legs. I live really near two big parks, both very dog friendly. So there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks / run arounds.

Claire was absolutely brilliant with Atticus and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again, in fact, I'm already sending her new dates! From the start she was really professional, always messaging ahead of time to confirm she'd be coming that day, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She also accommodated a last-minute extra day without any fuss, which was a huge help. She sent videos of herself using the key to access the property too, which was a thoughtful touch from a security standpoint and something I really appreciated. But what stood out most was how much she genuinely cared about Atticus. She sent regular photos and videos of him each day, as well as photos of his food being topped up so I could see he was being well looked after. She even brought her own toys to play with him, and when I got back he was happy, settled, and clearly had a great time. Couldn't recommend Claire enough!

Hannah took such wonderful care of my cat, Cuthbert, while I was away for the weekend. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and reliable hands. She kept me updated, the feedback and pictures were amazing and made sure he was happy and well looked after, and it was clear he was comfortable with her. I came home to a happy, content cat, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pets. Thank you so much 🥰🩷

Ziggy seems to have really taken to Samuel after only just two visits. Samuel has kept me updated, walked Ziggy and kept him entertained so that Ziggy is knackered come the evening! He also takes some lovely pictures that my partner and I greatly appreciate. I’d highly recommend him.

We couldn’t have been happier with the care our cats received. She was incredibly patient, kind and attentive with them, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. Our cats can be a bit particular at times, but she took everything in her stride and made sure they were comfortable and well looked after. We came home to happy, relaxed cats, which says it all. We’d absolutely book her again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much Kimberley 🐱😊

Ilke was amazing with our cats for the second time again. You can really tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. During the heatwave she even made ice packs for them and placed wet towels around the house to keep them comfortable and cool. We never had to worry for a second and received lovely updates throughout. Our cats absolutely adore her and we would happily trust her again anytime. Highly recommend ❤️
Lisa was an excellent cat sitter and incredibly flexible throughout our time away. She visited our cats every day, spent time playing with them, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. During the unexpected heat wave, she paid extra attention to their wellbeing and checked that they were staying cool and comfortable. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and gave them lots of affection, attention, and reassurance while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and caring pet sitter, and I very much hope we can continue working with her in the future. Thank you so much for everything, Lisa!
