“Jasmin and her family are absolutely amazing in how they looked after Nyla. Nyla was super happy when I picked her up and it has been our second stay with Jasmin. I can highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, and caring for pets has always felt natural to me. Growing up, our family home was full of life with dogs, and that experience shaped how comfortable and attentive I am with animals of different personalities. We had two dogs in particular who left a lasting impression on me. My sister had a cocker spaniel who was affectionate and playful, and later during my university years I had a Weimaraner—full of energy and always ready for adventure. He and I quickly bonded over our shared love of morning runs, so I’m especially confident handling active, high-energy dogs who need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. More recently, our family welcomed a cockapoo who still lives with my sister, and I’ve remained closely involved in caring for him whenever I visit. Overall, I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s going for a long walk, keeping them company at home, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My setup works really well for pet care — I'm based at home the majority of the week, with just one day out that can flex depending on what's needed. That means I'm available for boarding almost any day, weekends included. Plenty of calm company, no rush, no stress. I live in a third floor flat, so no escape risks and a nice calm environment away from the chaos of the street. The building has a fenced garden which is great for a bit of fresh air, and if your pet needs a longer stretch, Richmond Park is just around the corner — hard to beat. No other pets in the flat, so your cat or dog gets the full run of the place and all of our attention. My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves animals, so they'll have a little devoted fan following them around too.
“Jon was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! He kept us regularly updated with messages and pictures, and was incredibly welcoming of Charlie into his home. We will most definitely be booking with Jon again and Charlie will be delighted!”

“We had a great experience with Florent. Him and his family took wonderful care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made the whole process feel easy and reassuring. Our dog came home happy and well looked after—we’d definitely book again!”

“Zac settled in very well with Yasmin and and was immediately treated like one of the family. Yasmin showed much kindness and patience, particularly as Zac has sight problems so can need a bit more attention in some situations. She updated us everyday of Zac's adventures with pictures and information. I'm surprised he wanted to come back home with us. Thank you Yasmin, you and your family were wonderful.”

“We booked with Elizabeth for the second time and once again she took great care of our working cocker spaniel! He is normally quite anxious with unfamiliar surroundings but he settled right in and was happy and relaxed when we arrived to pick him up. Highly recommend!”

“Jonathan has taken really good care of my dog Messina. Messina is a nervous dog, Jonathan has been spending lots of time playing with her and taking her around. Messina is relaxed and happy. And we have got constant updates. It really puts peace into our hearts when we were away.”

“Savanah was amazing! She accepted my booking very last minute as my mum had surgery, and she was so kind and flexible with everything — even agreed to extend Faris’s stay for two more days. She sent me daily photos and videos, gave her medication without any problem, and made sure she felt at home. Her partner was also very friendly with Faris. I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time! Would definitely book again 💛”

“Cindy had fun on her second visit to Simon. She settled well and was well cared for. We would definitely use Simon again as a sitter : he gave us a great tip for keeping Cindy happy in hot weather; a treats frozen in a of ice. Works a treat !”

“Bizhen took wonderful care of my 16 week old puppy, Moose, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I picked him up, he was very happy and clearly had been well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Bizhen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for young puppies. Thank you again for taking such great care of Moose!”

“Ornela was fantastic with Twiglet, he had a great couple of days and had lots of fun! Really good communication and I received regular updates. Definitely will look forward to booking Twiglet a stay with Ornela and her family again.”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Brendan and I live in the centre of Richmond with my wife and our two adorable and very friendly dogs. I've had them for 6 and 7 years respectively and before that also had 3 cats and various other pets when I was younger. I absolutely love being around pets, especially dogs as my wife and I spent a lot of time with our wonderful dogs over the last few years thanks to our flexible working circumstances, meaning that I especially get to be at home with them a lot and am now happy to share that availabilty with other fellow pet parents. Due to my work set up (working from home more than 90% of the time) I have plenty of time to support pet parents in and near Richmond (and beyond) and am available for regular walks, drop-ins and of course boarding. I looking forward to meet you all and your pets! I work full-time, primarily at home (going to the office once every week or two weeks). Very flexible whilst working at home and able to help with multiple walks, drops and more. We live in a safe gated community with ground floor access and will assess each pets individual needs carefully to ensure a happy booking everytime.
About: I’ve been around dogs for over 15 years and honestly, I just really love being with them. I’m especially drawn to older dogs—they have such gentle personalities, and I really enjoy giving them the extra patience, comfort, and care they need. I’m very comfortable handling medications, including injections and oral meds, so if your dog has any medical needs, you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, especially when they’re older or need a bit more attention. I keep things calm, consistent, and tailored to each dog’s routine so they feel as at home and stress-free as possible. I don’t take on puppies, but if you have an adult or senior dog who needs a caring and reliable sitter, I’d love to help 😊 I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I keep a calm, relaxed routine and can easily adapt to your dog’s usual schedule, whether that’s walks, feeding times, or just lots of cuddles and companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I have a secure fenced garden for safe outdoor time . I always take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’m also experienced with crates if your dog uses one, and I stick closely to their normal routine to help them feel settled. I’m confident giving oral medications and injections if needed, and I always make sure each dog gets the care and attention they deserve in a calm, loving environment.
“Dolly had the best time staying with Diana and her family. We received regular updates and photos on how Dolly was settling in and Dolly and Akira (Diane's lovely dog) soon became great friends. This was the first time we have used Diana for dog boarding but we will definitely be using again.”

“Thank you Deirdre for looking after our little man! Loved receiving the photo updates! Friendly & Professional - would love to book you again if you'll have him! Thanks :) Highly recommend”

“Cliff always takes excellent care of our dog Enzo when we are away. We get daily picture and video updates, and Cliff always takes him for plenty of walks. He returns home happy and exhausted. Thank you Cliff!”

Bizhen was amazing as always. She found an issue with my dogs tooth which I was very grateful for and she also was very accommodating when I arrived late to pick Moose up after a delayed flight. I will keep having Bizhen look after Moose while I am away as I know he is in very good hands

I've just come back from 3 days with Fiona. I've had a fantastic time. I met lots of other dogs and people, and went to lots of parks with my ball. I've put this review on to encourage all my doggy friends to go and stay with Fiona. I'm very tired from all the activity.... Fiona looked after me so well and I'd like to go back. It was like a holiday. Thank you for looking after me and giving me such a fantastic time. Did I say I was tired..... Milly the Cavapoo

We needed a new pet sitter after our previous sitters welcomed their baby. From the very first few minutes of meeting Justyna, I knew she would be wonderful. She looked after Zoya and Freddie as if they were her own dogs. We also met Justyna’s parents, who kindly stepped in to care for them on the first night. It’s clear that they are true dog lovers, and that’s exactly what gives you peace of mind while you’re away on holiday. We received daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We’re extremely happy with Justyna and would highly recommend her :)

Karyna and my dog, Bruce clicked straight away. As Karyna was so very local she was able to take him to his favourite parks & coffee shop. He seemed totally at home with her and I will definitely make a return booking when I need to. Karyna also commented that he was very chilled dog, which he is when he is comfortable. Thank you Karyna for taking care of Bruce. 🐾❤️

Kamila took such great care of my pup while I was away! She was great at taking pictures and keeping me updated. I could tell when I picked him up that he had had so much fun with her and that he was properly worn out from great park walks. Thank you Kamila! I will definitely use your services again!!

Savanah and Jacob were absolutely incredible with my little Pomeranian Alfie. They provided great updates and he looked so happy and relaxed in all the photos, I could tell he was very comfortable and right at home with them. I was so at ease knowing he was in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend them!
