About: I absolutely adore dogs! I bring years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, from energetic Beagles to gentle Newfoundlands, and now my own beloved toy poodle, Kai. I’ve spent extensive time with puppies, focusing on training and nurturing their development. Kai and I will ensure your furry friend is happy and well cared for. A usual day with Kai and looks like this: 1. Short morning walk between 8 and 8:30am. 2. Big run in the park and walk along the river in Richmond between 12-1:30ish. 3. Short evening walk between 5:30 and 6pm. 4. Quick walk before bed time around 10pm. Kai loves play-time so you’ll get your very exhausted furry friend. Dogs are never left alone and will always be supervised while staying with me. Pups will be supervised even in the garden / patio area.

“Ash was great and Otto loved her. She was easy to communicate with and met Otto before his stay as well - which was appreciated. She kept us updated with pictures during his stay and was very flexible with drop off times. Would definitely recommend Ash and Otto would too.”


“Neil took good care of Matilda. She’s a very anxious dog but seemed to be very chilled throughout the stay. I’m also a very anxious pet parent and he kept me up to date with regular photos and video. Will definitely leave Matilda with Neil again”


“Maria-Elena provided a first class home from home experience for my beautiful fog. I am so grateful for the care and love along with daily photographs, videos and updates she provided. I feel blessed to have found someone like Mara-Elena and family. She is an experienced, reliable and excellent dog sitter.”


“We felt very comfortable leaving Coco with Jonathan and Michal. They were very thoughtful and thorough in all aspects of preparing for his visit. While we were away we had some wonderful updates from Jonathan and felt that we had left him with people who were enjoying him.”


“Diana and her family were so lovely and kind with my dog, Holly! I was looking for a caring person who owned a large dog and would be able to handle my young, energetic and sometimes "chatty" Goldendoodle, but also a family that Holly would be comfortable with. I feel so lucky to have found the perfect family! Diana sent me photos and videos of Holly and my dog absolutely loved her and Akira, their beautiful, sweet dog. I will absolutely book with Diana again!”


“Francesca sat my retriever Ruby whilst I went away for 5 days, we met beforehand and she was really friendly, great with ruby and very caring & considerate, wanting to make sure Ruby stuck to her usual routine. She was super loving and patient with Ruby and you can tell she genuinely really enjoyed being around dogs! Also has a brilliant set up for dogs at hers - a great location ideal for dog walks along the river, and happy to have them on the sofa for a cuddle after. Would highly recommend and will defo reach out for my next abroad holiday!”

I felt very safe leaving Bonnie with Maya, she was amazing especially it being short notice Maya saved the day with her care and consideration with Bonnie’s experience. Really good communication the whole time and I really appreciated Maya’s understanding of making Bonnie’s first boarding experience comfortable and welcoming which I really appreciated! 🌟🐶 🐾”


About: We have both grown up with pets our whole lives, from having dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and even horses. Through this we both have a real love for animals and are missing their presence in our daily lives now that we live in London. I (Mathilde) also worked as a carer for a year helping disabled adults look after their pets: walking dogs, feeding, cleaning cages etc… Both me and my partner would love to take care of animals again after leaving home. My partner Izzy works from home a few times a week and is available to dog sit on those days but I am around most weekends and evenings as well for dog walking and check-ins. We live in a flat at the moment near the riverside , where there are lots of green areas to walk around and enjoy together. Pets in my house have always been allowed to use the furniture so it wouldn’t be any different with yours! We only take on one dog at a time so we can make sure to provide the best level of care and support. (However please note that if you are looking for care for two dogs coming from the same home, please message us and we can cater to this too!)

“My dog Bless has a wonderful time with Veronica, Chris and Fluffy. They looked after him so well and I could tell he settled in really quickly. Bless is blind, so needs some additional support and encouragement, and he got both of these during his stay. I got regular photos and updates, and he was having such a good time I was genuinely worried he wouldn’t want to leave! I can’t recommend them highly enough.”


“Jessica, her partner and their lovely dog, Finn were fantastic. Flossie had a wonderful time with Jess and co. They took time to meet with us (and Flossie), and asked all the right questions to ensure Flossie was well cared for and had a great time. We received updates and knew Flossie was in safe hands. Thanks so much for taking great care of Flossie while we were away, she is missing her new playmate!”
