About: I have cats since I am 4 years old, we had always cats in our garden and house. I have a paralysed cat since 8 years which he needs really a carer to change his pads and opening his bowels. Since im in the uk, my dad looks after him. I was studying for Veterinary Nurse and i had 4 months of intern experience in a pet hospital. I haven’t finish my study but I had a lot of experience. I have a connection between cats and I cannot imagine my life without them. They have a special character and I love to see them around me. Im working full time, I have 2 days off a week and available half of the weekdays. Im happy to get them after or before my shift. I have years of experience as owner and student of vet nurse. I can understand the way of their body language and their needs easily.

“Zoe was able to walk my dog last minute as I had to leave him at home unexpectedly. He is a bit of an anxious dog and Zoe took the time to let him get comfortable with her and sent me written updates and pictures :)”
9. Sophie H.
“Sophie took great care of my furbaby while I was out of town on business. When I came back home, all was clean, my furbaby was happy which made me a happy dad!!! I’ll def hire Sophie again!!”
10. Sarah A.
“Sarah was great - really communicative and phoned beforehand to find out about our dogs’ specific needs and any other instructions. She was super communicative and sent updates along the way including photos of the dogs loving their walk! Thank you, Sarah! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and will definitely be seeing if she’s available again in future when we next need our dogs looking after!”
11. Guler A.
“Best dog walker I’ve ever had.”
12. Amy M.
“Amy is very caring, knowledgeable and accommodating with our doggy friends wether it’s looking after or home sitting, and going out for walks. Amy is an animal lover and you can tell when talk to her.”
13. Alannya B.
“Alannya has a very caring nature and my dog dexter quickly picked up on this as he could tell she would be at ease with him. Airdales aren't renowned for being quiet dogs but she coped with him well. We also asked her to look after our ducks and chickens which she did very well.”
14. Andrew S.
“Andrew is reliable, confident and an energetic dog handler. He truly loves the dogs companionship on his daily walkies. When he's around, he takes great care of my dog (puppy lurcher) and always offers extra walks when he's around with Ted too. You can completely trust that your dog is in safe hands, well cared for and stimulated. Craig”
15. Mollie W.
About: I have grown up in a household that believes a house is not a home without a dog! I have plenty of time to give to animals and work hard to match their energy, whether that be throwing a ball for a lively working dog or simply sitting for a cuddle with a calmer older dog. I am currently on maternity leave with my baby daughter. We take daily walks together and would love for a dog to join us! I am currently on maternity leave with my daughter so can be available up to 7 days a week to provide dog walks and more. I have a fenced grass garden so your fur baby will be safe to roam around as they wish. I can crate your dog if you wish but this is not essential.
16. Skye W.
About: I’ve had pets since the age of 9, I had a dog for over 10 years, as well as multiple other animals around the house. I’ve pet sat for multiple families, looking after them with care and love as I would with my own pet. Im currently looking for a full time job, so I’m free all day/night and most weekends to look after your animals! I’m 100% committed to caring for your pets with no obligations preventing me. I have a fenced garden to prevent any animals from getting out, I have a big garden which is great for dogs to run around in when they’re not on a walk. I have beds for dogs to sleep on also.
17. Alexandra C.
“Alexandra is the most amazing pet caregiver you could ask for. Attentive and affectionate giving you great confidence in her ability to take care of any type of pet personality.”
18. Chloe G.
“The best thing about having Chloe care for our dogs is how they become completely part of the family and so loved and cared for by her and her 2 daughters. Even one who was always a bit nervous around people has come completely out of her shell and so happy to socialise now as a result of her staying at Chloe's when we've been away. She treats them like her own and they're always well exercised and happy to go back....couldn't recommend her enough.”
19. Francesca F.
“Francesca is a great lover of animals having grown up in the countryside with dogs, cats and horses. Now she finds herself with time in London I am certain Francesca would be an excellent dog sitter and dog walker for pooches in town keeping both herself fit and the dogs exercised in the local parks. I would thoroughly recommend her.”
20. Georgie D.
“I have known Georgie for a while now and she is without a doubt a fantastic dog carer and lover. She has dogs of her own and has looked after my two doggies on numerous occasions and I would absolutely trust her to do it again.”
