“We have had the pleasure of having Elana look after Elvis in May for 5 nights, and recently for 1week…. She is absolutely amazing…. We was able to fully relax knowing that she was with Elvis the whole time and In his own home. We had photos and videos sent daily of all the walks, baths, cuddles, feeding times, and this was fantastic so we could see how much Elvis was enjoying himself! Elana is exceptionally respectful of our home and left it immaculate for when we came home which was a gift in itself! I couldn’t speak any higher of this fabulous lady! Thank you so much! We all love you loads!”

“Molly has sat for us twice and has been great. Our Mushu is a rescue and takes time to trust new people but Molly has been patient and gentle and Mushu really seems to like her. She provides regular updates and cute photos. We'll definitely be asking about her availability again soon. Thanks Molly.”

“Shivanjali has sat our dog Yuki twice now in our home and both times she was brilliant! Good level of contact whilst we were out, took Yuki for walks and lots of indoor play and cuddles. Yuki clearly had a great time. Thanks Shivanjali!”

“Shiveena has looked after our 4 month old Labrador puppy for the second time now and she is absolutely amazing! Basil loves her and she has been sooo good with him. She sent me very big updates every few hours including photos and it was obvious what a good time our boy had. She will definitely be our go to sitter on here xx”

About: I am a professional and trusted cat-sitter and dog-walker. Your Pet My Job🐾 I always check in with pet owners beforehand to understand their little one’s needs, routines, and any no-go zones - safety and comfort are everything. When cat-sitting, I make sure windows and balcony doors are securely closed and toilet seats are down. It’s the small details that make all the difference! I believe pets deserve the same love and attention as everything else in life - think leisurely park strolls, playful afternoons/evenings, and plenty of pampered downtime together. I take time to understand commands, training specifications, and personality traits before any walk. Knowing a dog’s temperament keeps me in control, helps me read situations early, and allows me to diffuse anything before it has a chance to escalate. During our meet and greet, I ask that owners share any behavioural concerns or special needs their pet may have - such as anxiety - so I can ensure the most comfortable, tailored experience possible. I also ask that all pets are registered with a vet prior to my care, so that in the unlikely event of an emergency, we’re fully prepared. It’s about creating a safe, happy experience for every pet in my care. I’m self employed so extremely flexible, available weekends. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I work from home and occasionally on location. During our meet and greet, I ask that owners share any behavioural concerns or special needs their pet may have - such as anxiety - so I can ensure the most comfortable, tailored experience possible.
“Adriana did a great job with Bailey. He can be an excitable dog and Adriana immediately seemed to settle him and put him right at ease, which made us feel completely confident in leaving him. During the sit we were kept updated with how things were going and we came back to a happy and content dog, which is always the main thing. Would absolutely recommend Adriana.”

“Fiona was an excellent cat sitter - excellent communication before and during the cat sitting, and she took care of our cat amazingly. She was also very quick on the uptake with any instructions about food, timing, playtime, and so on. We felt very reassured knowing that Fiona was looking after mini and she was very accommodating when our flight back was delayed. Would 100% recommend and would book again 🙂”

“Sophia is a great sitter and a lovely person. She is very responsible and trustable. I booked with her several months in advance and everything went smooth. My dog Tofi was very relaxed when I arrived home, which confirms to me that he had a good time with her. It is also a relief to see I have finally found an excellent petsitter! I will definitely be leaving Tofi with her again, if it is possible!”

“Miriam looked after our dog Bonnie and our cat Canute over New Year’s for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. She kept us updated every single day with messages and the cutest photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our fur babies were clearly happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. We also came home to an utterly spotless house, which was such a lovely surprise. 10/10 recommend booking with Miriam 🐾 a truly wonderful human, and we will absolutely be booking her again in the future.”


“Ana Sofia was AMAZING. Our dogs were so well taken care of and I was able to have a very relaxed weekend knowing my dogs were in great hands. Ana Sofa sent us constant updates ( just the right amount)”

“Ali took great care of Peanut for us while we were out all day. He was clearly very comfortable with bigger dogs and gave Peanut a great day with a couple of walks and plenty of play. Peanut was sad to see Ali leave but quickly fell fast asleep from a very full day together. Definitely booking Ali again in the future!”

About: Hello! My name is Karolina and I am a corporative receptionist. On my spare time I love to paint, draw and read. The love for cats is something very special for me. The independence, curiosity and most importantly their spontaneity is always ending up surprising me on how entertaining cats can be. As having a little boy named Kisa myself, he makes my life even more wonderful. I am currently a full-time worker, but I am very flexible on morning and evening visit, so as weekend. Time can be negotiated, as per request. The type of service I’d offer as a cat sitter, is very much similar to the care I provide to my own cat. I will be taking care of cleanliness, food top up, cuddliness, play interaction and most importantly making sure the cat gets full attention
“Theo was amazing looking after my 12 week old puppy! They both had the best day and I felt so at peace knowing she was in safe hands. Theo sent through updates throughout the day and lots of photos. Highly recommend and will be rebooking 🙌🏽”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, having owned miniature schnauzers since the age of ten. I would love to care for the beloved dogs of london as my pup is back in Ireland where he lived. I absolutely adore them and can assist in caring for any range of age of dogs from young puppies to elderly, both through the experience of owning my own pets and the other dogs that I have cared for. My experience in sitting for others ranges from a lively cocker spaniel puppy recently to an elderly shih tzu and I would love to leave others with a peace of mind that their pet is being well cared for in their absence. I can also teach some tricks, such as roll over and paw depending on how cooperative your pup is :) (My mini schnauzer took some convincing and lots of treats 🤣) When I am not required to be in the office or travel for work (i would mark myself as unavailable/not accept bookings in these cases) I have great flexibility and can work from home so I would be able to accompany your pet all day and take them out for multiple walks throughout the day, they would not need to be alone for stretches of time over an hour or so, and even then I can adjust my schedule to ensure any anxious pets that need more company are not left alone and I am with them. I enjoy long walks daily so your pet would be well cared for and well walked. I have a large outdoor balcony with a high and contained fence but also I live beside large green spaces more importantly with great areas to walk the pets. I am also located beside Victoria Park for long walks and fresh air. My apartment is well locked up and no easy access at all for pets to get out onto the street as it is on the third floor and doors and windows can all be easily secured. It is also not overly cluttered and there is very little in terms of hazards, Overall I would be a available to stay in the home of the pet if you would prefer that and am willing to travel within London to accommodate this.

“Nicole - what can we say! ❤️ It was the first time we’d left our little Willow with anyone other than family ever and a big occasion at which we were having to do so (our wedding) You cared for our sweet, old girl (17yrs), kept us updated throughout and completely put our minds at ease - we were feeling pretty stressed about leaving her From the very first communication you were brilliant, so communicative, understanding and you listened to all her quirky old dog needs! You are a wonderful person and we’d have no hesitation to recommend you to everyone! For Willow to be doing her old girl zoomies she must have felt incredibly happy and comfortable with you ❤️ Thank you for everything Nicole J&J x”

About: I've been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, from energetic young ones to slower, older dogs who just want company and a comfortable routine. Senior dogs are where I'm happiest. I've got a lot of patience for the extra care they need, whether that's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on how they're feeling, or just being around so they're never on their own for long. I work from home most of the day, so your dog isn't shut in waiting for me to get back. There's someone here, the routine stays steady, and there's always time for a walk, a play, or a nap on the sofa. I offer boarding at mine, dog walking, drop-in visits and day care, and house sitting in your own home, so we can find whatever suits you and your dog best. I look after other people's dogs the way I'd want mine looked after: carefully, calmly, and with a lot of affection. I work from home, so my day is built around being here rather than rushing out. Mornings usually start with a proper walk before I settle into work, with breaks through the day for play, toilet trips, and a bit of fuss. Lunchtime is another walk, or a longer wander if the weather's good. Evenings are relaxed: dinner on time, a final stroll before bed, and plenty of company on the sofa. I keep to whatever routine your dog already knows, since that's what keeps them settled. If your dog has set feeding times, medication, or a walking schedule, being home all day means I can stick to it. In my home, your dog gets a calm, clean space with room to relax and somewhere comfortable to sleep. I keep doors and gates secure, never let a dog I don't know off-lead until I'm sure they'll come back, and introduce new dogs slowly so nobody feels crowded. In your home, I stick to your house rules, keep things tidy, and send photo updates so you can see your dog is happy while you're away. I'm careful with keys, alarms, and locking up. Either way, I'll always ask about vet details, feeding, allergies, and anything that makes your dog anxious before the first visit, so there are no surprises and your dog feels safe with me from the start.
“I can’t recommend Ruhi enough - she was lovely with Murphy, and sent me lots of updates, including pictures where he looked so happy I could tell he was having a lovely time!”

About: Hi there! I’m Laura, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾 What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is a lifetime of hands-on experience, deeply rooted in a family of absolute dog lovers. I grew up surrounded by dogs, meaning reading canine body language and understanding their needs is second nature to me. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve cared for dogs at every single stage of life. Senior care I have a deep understanding of senior and medical care from looking after our family dog during their battle with cancer. I know that sick or low-mobility pups require a different level of gentleness and patience. I’m fully comfortable administering medication on schedule, assisting dogs with physical support, and providing a calm, safe environment. Shelter Volunteer Experience To broaden my skills, I spent a summer volunteering at a dog shelter. This experience was incredibly rewarding and taught me how to handle dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Through my time there, I mastered: Building trust with anxious or fearful dogs, leash training and managing high-energy pups safely, recognizing subtle signs of stress or discomfort. Trusted by Friends In addition to my personal and volunteer experience, I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends whenever they go on vacation. I love keeping owners updated with pictures, maintaining their dog’s usual routines, and making sure they feel just as loved as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a high-energy playtime, a patient friend for a slow walk, or specialized medical attention, I am here to provide a safe, loving, and reliable home away from home. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a university student, my schedule is incredibly flexible and easily adaptable to your pet's needs! Because a lot of my study time can be managed independently, I can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. For Daycare and Sitting: I can study right next to your pup, keeping them company all day and sticking strictly to their feeding, medication, and potty schedules. For Walks and Drop-ins: My flexible timetable allows me to easily break away for mid-day walks, park visits, or quick check-ins whenever your dog needs a stretch and some love. When staying at your home, my main goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly as it is when you are there, ensuring they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. Here is how I care for your pet and respect your space: Maintaining Routines: I strictly follow your rules and schedules for feeding, walking, and potty breaks. If your dog is used to a specific park route or a certain bedtime ritual, I stick to it to minimize any separation anxiety. Specialized Medical and Senior Attention: If your pet has health needs, I am fully prepared to manage them. I have experience administering medication on precise schedules, handling low-mobility pups gently, and providing the calm, stress-free environment that older or anxious dogs need. Companionship and Play: Since my university schedule is very flexible, I spend a lot of time at the house. I can study right next to your pup, offering plenty of cuddles, mental stimulation, and playtime so they never feel lonely. Respecting Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I keep things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. Constant Updates: I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family member! I’ll send you regular updates and plenty of photos so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior cats and rabbits, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patience, attention, and love. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and providing companionship while they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and reliable hands. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I can bring well-behaved dogs to my office. I have a flexible routine and can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight stays. Living right next to Olympic Park, I’m based in East Village so your dog will have access to fantastic walking routes and plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly home with access to a private garden area and am fortunate to be surrounded by the green spaces of the Olympic Park. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding routines, exercise requirements, medication, and any special care needs. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Could not thank Sejal and her partner enough. They were able to look after Ziggy on such short notice and went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for. They regularly updated me and sent pictures, came on time and I can tell Ziggy really enjoyed their company. Would highly recommend, very trust worthy and reliable! Thank you so much guys!

Sofia was a fantastic sitter who helped me put very last minute and was just perfect! Couldn't have asked for better. Sofia is a very knowledgeable and diligent sitter who clearly cares a lot for the animals in her life. She is smart, kind, communicative and has great attention to detail. I found her incredibly trustworthy and was thankful for the regular updates she gave me throughout the day. I'd be delighted to have her sit our nervous rescue dog Charlie any time and would highly recommend her!

We are so incredibly grateful to have found Adijana! We recently had her over for an introductory visit with our dog, Riley, and it couldn't have gone better. It was immediately clear how much Riley loved her—he warmed up to her right away, which gave us such peace of mind. She was professional, attentive, and clearly a true animal lover. We feel completely confident and at ease leaving Riley and our home in her care for our upcoming holiday, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated pet sitter!

Georgina was a great Petsitter for our cat, Poppy. She came over prior to the sit to go through Poppy’s needs and routine, so we were confident that she would be well cared for. Poppy is 14 years old and is diabetic, so needs twice daily insulin injections along with her food. Georgina was experienced in giving these and also dispensed her other medication for arthritis. Georgina stayed with Poppy over the long weekend and gave her lots of attention and kept in touch with messages and photos. The house was clean and tidy on our return and she had also done some watering of the garden, as it had been very hot. We would thoroughly recommend Georgina as a friendly, reliable and responsible Petsitter and hope she will look after Poppy for us again.
Hanpu was really easy to deal with, everything went super smoothly. I received lots of updates, and my Cali felt comfortable enough to ask for cuddles quite early on (which is amazing because he’s usually a very, very shy cat on the first days). Even though Hanpu and Cici only stayed for 2 days and 1 night, I would highly recommend! They were easygoing, very respectful, great with communication and left my house nice and tidy. Most importantly, my cat had great company and care ☺️
