House Sitting Richmond

“Gigi loved staying with Melek. Usually she would be restless and anxious when we leave but with Melek, I saw that she was quite comfortable. When you have a pet with separation anxiety you either feel guilty or share the anxiety when you need to leave them. Frequent videos and pictures of Gigi being calm and cool were really helpful in putting my mind at ease. Would totally recommend Melek, she is kind, thoughtful, attentive and very loving.”

“Cannot review Sarah highly enough! She looked after our 7 month old rescue puppy, who isn’t the easiest (as puppies aren’t) and managed her well. Boo was chilled when we got home and was upset when Sarah left, so she obviously loves her. Will definitely book her again :)”

“Anya was phenomenal with our young Whippet puppy, Willow! This was our first time leaving Willow with a sitter and she was very comfortable with Anya. We highly recommend Anya’s experience, ease of communication, and professionalism.”

About: Growing up I always have had dogs in the house, and my partner and I are so excited for the day when we can have one of our own. With a background in dog training, which, when younger, took me to Crufts to compete at the YKC Heelwork To Music competition, I'm great with dogs and can tailor my service based on their (and your) needs. I also used to volunteer once a week at a dog groomers as a teenager because hanging out with the dogs was so fun. New to the platform, new to the area, but definitely not new to dogs. I have recently moved to London with my partner and am currently at home full time. I am available to walk your dog (basically whenever you need me to). I often go for a run first thing in the morning and would be happy to bring your pooch if you wanted them to burn off some energy with me, or I am available throughout the day to come and walk them. I am a 15 minute walk from Richmond park, so I can take your pup on walk that suits their needs. Need 10 minutes? Easy. Needs an hour or more? Also easy.

“Chrystina was great at looking after our beloved chow chow, Ariel, in our home when we were away for a week. She sent us regular updates daily, which we really appreciated and was always quick to reply whenever we wanted to check in. Due to her allergies, Ariel had a strict diet regime and Chrystina patiently followed all our instructions and it was reassuring to know that our pet was eating and sleeping well under Chrystina's care everyday. Highly recommend Chrystina and we will be booking her again! x”

About: Hello! I’m an actor and freelance creative with a passion for animals, and would love the opportunity to bring both you and your doggo some daily joy!🤗🐶 I’ve previously worked for brands such as Butternut Box where I’ve spent time with a variety of dogs and their parents, and I know that like us, every dog is unique and so is the care and attention they deserve! I have some puppy experience, having been an active part of my family dog’s puppy training, and in more recent years have had experience single handedly looking after multiple family dogs. I’m currently working from home so don’t have any particular restrictions on my availability at the moment, although this is subject to change. However as a freelancer I can be flexible to fit around your schedule if needed!! I live in a flat just across the road from a lovely park, very popular with dog walkers, as well as being a short distance from riverside walking paths. I have a car and happy to drive if needed.

“We left our pets (Corgi and a cat) with Rone for a week. Everything was spot on from the very start - from communication to the actual care for our furry friends. Both looked very happy and healthy when we've got back from our trip. Rone has also left our flat very tidy. Highly recommend!”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats and the occasional hamster my whole life and adore them. I have looked after people’s pets many times throughout Covid but had to stop for a couple of years due to some work commitments. However, my availability has opened up and am very eager to get back to helping out. I am a 29 year old Pilates instructor in Richmond and Barnes. I have a flexible schedule, especially during the daytime and am excited to look after your cat or dog! I am a Pilates instructor, therefore I mostly work early mornings and have the rest of the day free. The only day I work from morning to evening, are Tuesdays. I live in the heart of Richmond and love to make use of all the green spaces. I am incredibly reliable and trusting. I work and live in and around Richmond, and have a great relationship with all my clients in the community. It is very important to me, that I uphold that reputation as a pet sitter.

About: Hi there! I’m Emma, a passionate and dedicated dog owner/walker with 10+ years of experience in pet care. I’m currently looking to fill the big dog shaped hole in my life that appeared since I moved to London away from my three family dogs back home. From manic spaniels to slipper-sitting terriers, I love all dog breeds (and cats too!). I understand that your furry friends are part of your family (much like mine), and I strive to provide the best possible care and companionship for them whilst you're away I currently work full time in central London. My hours are 9.30 to 5.30ish but I do work from home twice a week and will be available to walk at lunch. Weekends are my prime walking/sitting time aside from weekday evenings. I live in a one bedroomed flat with ample room for tug of war, cuddles and snooze time. Dogs/cats always welcome and are free to explore everywhere. I’m also very communicative so happy to send you pictures throughout the day of your pet. I also live 1km from Richmond park so there is ample space for a run around in the woodlands.

“Amy spent half a day with our Pomsky who had never been with anyone else or alone for more than a few minutes. She reassured us with a photo and messages and we came back home to find her relaxed and happy! She was kind to also come to a meet and greet beforehand so he would know her beforehand. We will surely call her again next time we need to leave him alone. Thank you so much, Amy!”

“Isabella was really great with our puppy Roux! She sent some lovely photos through the day and left the house very neat and tidy. We’ll definitely be using her regularly - highly recommend her to anyone with a young energetic puppy!”

“Clarence was amazing! Otis was slightly nervous as first but Clarence did really well to put him at ease, gave us updates throughout the night and looked after him very well. Would highly recommend Clarence to anyone looking for an attentive dog sitter!”

Jimmy N.

“So glad to have found Lucy! She helped us out really last minute and even managed a quick meet and greet prior to the sit (the following day!) which I hugely appreciated. Polite, respectful and really loving with benji. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We came home to a very happy boy. Thank you so much ☺️”

About: Your local pet sitter in Richmond, flexibly available! Note: I have a small dog of my own, a friendly male Coton Du Tulear, Merlin 🐶🐾 Our home is nestled centrally in Richmond, where we have access to a small fenced garden. We also live nearby beautiful parks and can take your dog for short or long walks as needed. My husband, Anders, and I work from home with flexibility most days so perfect for day time walks and ensuring your dogs receives our attention and care. We can host dogs up to 15 kgs, as our house is small and I want your dog to have enough space to play and relax. Your dog will have free run of the house and can sleep wherever you prefer if boarding. Our dog, Merlin, is friendly and gets on very well with other dogs, he loves to play but will match your dog’s energy and respect their space. We usually take Merlin out for a 1 hour walk a day or for two shorter walks (about 30 mins each). We can fit into your dog's schedule though as Merlin is happy to go out at any time. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at home. I understand that every dog owner has their own set of peculiar rules and I will take great care to follow all instructions and schedules provided. We only host one dog at a time, that way your dog can have our undivided attention. We'll provide regular updates, photos, and videos via Rover or WhatsApp, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is settled and having a nice time. Merlin, Anders and I are all eagerly anticipating hosting and getting to know your four-legged friend ^.^ We work from home so our schedule is quite adaptable to your pup. We take Merlin for 2-3 walks a day (each ranging from 20-30 minutes, for a minimum of an hour a day) and for a nice longer walk on weekends. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a comfortable and safe environment where they can feel at ease. This includes offering designated spaces for them to rest and play, regular walks or outdoor activities, and adhering to their feeding and medication schedules as instructed by the owner. Additionally, I ensure that my home is pet-proofed and free of any hazards.

“Natasha is our go-to sitter. She takes the very best care of our dog and our home, and sends regular updates. She is super capable, kind, and really cares about our dog’s wellbeing and our peace of mind. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“This is was my first time leaving my little ones properly in someone else's care and though a bit anxious Charlie has managed to put my fears to rest. The all up experience has been lovely, had all my questions answered and got constant updates. Will definitely leave them in his care again.”

About: Hi, I’m Neda, and I’m a lifelong cat lover! I’ve spent years looking after friends and family members cats (especially for my sister, who works overseas), and finally, I was lucky enough to be gifted with my own cat nearly 4 years ago. Caring for cats has always been second nature to me, and I love spending time with these incredible animals. I am currently self-employed and work from home, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I can easily adapt my day to fit your cat’s routine, whether that’s regular visits, feeding times, play, or simply providing company and care. I always prioritise a calm, safe, and clean environment for every cat I look after, whether in my home or the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, litter maintenance, and any specific preferences your cat may have. I take time to build trust with each cat at their own pace, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I’m also experienced in handling more sensitive care needs, including administering medication and providing extra attention when needed, as I’ve done with my own cat, Donnie.
