“We had to ask for Jessica’s help walking our Jack Russell at short notice. She was an amazing walker. Our dog always came home happy. We also got regular updates and photos of the walks. We will get in touch again when we need a walker in the future. Thanks Jessica!”


2. Amy A.
“Amy has always had a huge love for all animals and is the best dog mum to her rescue dog, Caleb. Being so patient and loving with him and he is absolutely thriving surrounded by love for him now! Amy regularly walks and wants to be out and about, and will always have treats on hand. I’d trust her with my dog and any other no doubt :)”

4. Habiba H.

“I am always very careful introducing Dexter to new walkers/carers (he’s my fur baby after all) but Habiba has been amazing with Dexter. She is super professional and very friendly with him. She is punctual and has been on time to the minute for his walks. I would absolutely recommend her for any dog!!”

6. Melek G.
“Melek is an exceptional cat sitter and a wonderful person. She has a natural connection with cats and understands their personalities so well. Our not very friendly cat felt completely at ease with her. She is friendly, reliable, and always keeps me updated with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind while we're away. She genuinely cares for pets and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving cat sitter!”


7. Kat B.

“We arranged a walk with Kat to familiarise with our rescue in advance of a house sit and she was brilliant, very calm and patient with willow, she’s experienced with nervous dogs and understood willow’s needs perfectly. We’ll be confident booking with her again!”

“Amazing service from Katie! What a find. I was so worried leaving my baby-boy alone during the day and Katie really gave me all the assurance I needed. Gingko was very well looked after, had some lovely walks and lots of fun. Thank you Katie.”


10. Jamie G.
“I've known Jamie for over 6 years now and couldn't recommend him more as a trustworthy professional. We worked together in the childcare/ education industry and I've seen how he maintains a high standard of behaviour management, collectiveness under pressure and ownership in all situations. He's one of those genuine and sincere people who love what he does, which to me makes him one of the rare ones.”


11. Ruby G.
“I can't think of anyone I'd rather have look after Spike than Ruby. She has been so loving and so considerate of him, respecting all his little quirks and treating him like her own. I sleep a lot better knowing that whenever I'm not around, he's in the safest pair of hands imaginable.”


12. Wiola U.

“Needed dogwalking on short notice and Wiola changed her personal plans to accommodate! Really helpful snd friendly and Freddie loves seeing her.”


13. Amelia K.
About: I grew up with two dogs and since moving to London have consistently walked others dogs whenever needed and looked after them in their own home or mine when their parents are away. I now also have my own 2 year old mini dachshund who I absolutely adore. She loves meeting and playing with other dogs and would love to meet some new friends! I work remotely from home full time so your pup will have constant supervision and attention! I have flexible hours so am able to adapt to any specific needs your pup may have. I live in a one floor flat so no stairs and there is a fully enclosed space where dogs can play and rest safely. There is green space next door for outdoor play and toilet breaks.


14. Phoebe A.
“Phoebe is a remarkable dog sitter who looked after my lab, Shadow, with exceptional care and attention. She was the perfect choice to take care of him! During Shadow's stay with her, Phoebe & Yianni went above and beyond to ensure that he was comfortable and happy. He got plenty of river walks which I'm sure he found delightful. Her flat was an inviting and comfortable space for Shadow to relax, and Phoebe's personal touch made him feel right at home. It's clear that they have a genuine love for dogs and their attentiveness and patience make them the perfect couple for any pet owner looking for exceptional care for their dog. I highly recommend Phoebe to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Phoebe, for your extraordinary care of Shadow!"”


15. Elisabetta F.
“Elisabetta has always loved pets and been around them - dogs being her favourites (as well as cats!). She loves the outdoors and enjoys long walks which is great for our four-legged friends! Her calm and patient energy always makes dogs comfortable around her.”


16. Joanne C.

“Joanne was really great to communicate with, took the time to properly meet Josē ahead of his walk and he seemed to love his walk and be well worn out after. Highly recommend!!”


17. Hannah A.

“Hannah was available relatively short notice and was very flexible in terms of timings. She dropped by for a meet&greet and on the day she took our dog for a lovely walk and sent lots of photos. Recommend Hannah to anyone :) thanks”


18. Rachel M.
“Rachel looked after our 9 year old golden retriever for 4 weeks from mid September to mid October. Archie adored her and we came home to find a very happy and contented dog. She kept us updated with regular photos and reports and I would not hesitate to recommend her as a dog sitter/ dog carer. She also kept our house very clean and tidy.”


19. Anya L.
“Anya has looked after our Alsatian, Jack, on numerous times when we’ve gone on holiday. She is friendly, reliable, reasonably priced and Jack loves her! We would certainly recommend Anya to anybody in need of doggy care.”


20. Victoria P.
“Tori is a true animal lover who has had pets her whole life! Her caring, responsible and kind nature makes her the perfect person to look after anyone’s animal. I wouldn’t think twice about trusting her to look after my dog/pet!”
