“Natasha was a kind and caring person who took well care for my cat. I was nervous initially about leaving my cat alone for a couple of days while I’m away but Natasha made me feel relaxed and I’m happy to see my cat enjoys her company!”

3. jess t.

“Jess was amazing. Truly above and beyond. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was fantastic with our puppy at a tough time for us. She was available last minute, and gave attention and love to Otis for the entire time she was with him. Thank you so much Jess, I'm sure Otis will be looking forward to seeing you again!”


4. Habiba H.

“Habiba was an absolutely amazing sitter for our two rescue cats. She was super quick and easy to communicate with and kept us updated of how the cats were doing with lots of pictures whilst we were away. You can tell the cats really enjoyed their time with Habiba because they were so settled when we returned, whereas usually, they are anxious and manic. It is clear that Habiba loves any animal as if they are her own - as she even left some extra treats for the cats as she left for the final time! Thank you!!”


5. Ruby G.
“I highly recommend Ruby for anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. She took wonderful care of Sonic, making sure he had plenty of attention and playtime. She was always attentive to his needs, whether it was brushing him or ensuring his food and water were topped up. Sonic was comfortable with her and even responded to her calm, soft voice. She was respectful of our home, and communicated well throughout. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I would definitely trust her with Sonic again in the future”

“I'm so grateful for Katie. She took care of Hebe while I was away on holiday and I have nothing but great things to say. She brought toys to play with her, cleaned the litter, fed her and spent time with her. She constantly kept me updated with pictures and she carefully followed the instructions provided. I would absolutely like to have her again in the future.”

12. Laura N.
About: Hi I’m Laura, a dog mum to Maisie the cavapoo, and an experienced dog sitter. I treat every dog I look after like my own, with lots of love, treats and playtime. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to connect, build trust, and give them the same affection and respect I give my own. I have years of hands on experience looking after dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I grew up on a farm in Devon and have always had at least three dogs running around at one time. My mum used to be a veterinary nurse and my whole family have always been animal obsessed. I spent my childhood helping out in the vets and on the farm meaning I’m highly confident and experienced when it comes to animal care, first aid and keeping them happy and healthy. I live in an 8 minute walk from Richmond station and 10 minutes from Richmond park, with direct access to a gated garden. I will be home with your dog throughout the day. I work from home 3/4 days a week and can be flexible on days. When I am in the office my partner looks after Maisie. I have a fenced garden and a very friendly cavapoo to keep your dog company! Dogs are allowed throughout the flat and will be supervised 24/7.


13. James C.
“Our cat is very discerning when it comes to whose lap she will sit on, but she had no hesitation when it came to James. Hopped on there like she'd known him her whole life. Tried not to take it personally...”


14. Simon R.
About: As a 39-year-old professional who grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and their unique personalities. With years of experience pet-sitting for friends and family, I’m passionate about providing top-notch care, ensuring every pet feels loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m active and enjoy long walks, and I’d be thrilled to take your furry friend for a stroll through beautiful Richmond Park or other local spots. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or an adventurous outing, I’m happy to cater to your pet’s energy levels and preferences. I also have a car, so I can take them for longer trips to explore new walking routes if desired. Running my own business allows me to tailor my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love getting to know each pet’s quirks and character, and I’m committed to providing detailed updates to reassure you that your pet is thriving in my care. Living in a second-floor flat means I can’t have my own pets, so I’m so excited to share my love and energy with yours. Whether it’s cuddles for a cat or an energetic walk for a dog, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home with me! As a 39-year-old professional running my own business, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine seamlessly. My schedule allows me to prioritise the pets' needs, ensuring they get ample attention, exercise, and love. Daily, I can structure my work around morning and evening walks, feeding times, and play sessions. For example, I love starting the day with a long walk in Richmond Park, which is perfect for energetic dogs, and I’m happy to spend time cuddling or engaging with cats during breaks in my workday. My active lifestyle means I’m always up for multiple walks or outdoor adventures, and I can drive to different locations for variety if needed. I can adjust my commitments to accommodate overnight stays, regular check-ins, or extended care every week, depending on the pet’s requirements. Since I don’t have pets of my own due to living in a second-floor flat, pet-sitting fills that gap and brings joy to my routine. I also make it a point to observe and understand each pet’s personality, providing tailored care and detailed updates to owners to ensure peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my flexible, pet-loving lifestyle! Dog Walking: I offer fun, safe walks in Richmond Park or beyond, matching your dog’s energy. Walks include water, cleanup, and photo updates. Drop-In Visits: I visit your home to feed, play, and cuddle cats or dogs, clean litter boxes, and follow care routines, sending photo updates. House Sitting: I stay overnight in your home, maintaining your pet’s routine with walks, feeding, and attention, keeping your home secure and sharing updates.


15. Anya L.

“Anya took great care of Biscuit. Super responsive, communicative and I felt good leaving Biscuit to be cared for by her. Biscuit can be challenging, especially with new people, so I really appreciated Anya following our needs and care instructions. We came home to Biscuit being very happy. Would recommend!”

“I know Megan to be an extremely caring, professional person, who loves dogs having grown up with them her whole life. I highly recommend Megan.”


17. Katie P.
“Katie has cared for dogs for many years, including her family Lab 'Harvey'. She loves nothing more than taking him out for long walks in the Oxfordshire hills, and always treats him with so much care and attention. She'd be the most amazing sitter for your dog too, making sure they're well looked after and given all the affection they need :)”
