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.”

“Anya took great care of my girls ( dogs) whilst we had a long weekend away. Girls were well cared for, lots of cuddles and walks and were very relaxed when we got home. The girls are always happy to see Anya and we went away knowing they were in good hands 🙏🐾🐾”

“Chrystina got on with our puppy really well and he enjoyed hanging out with her. She followed our instructions around what to do with him and we felt comfortable having her in our house when we weren’t there. Have already booked her again!”

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.

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.

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.

“Natasha was wonderful with Lumière and he was extremely comfortable with him. She has done a fantastic job and instantly took away his separation anxiety. Natasha is a lovely and amenable person, very friendly and well mannered. We will love to have her back, and Lumière too 🐶”

“Kiera was brilliant with Riley. I contacted her at short notice and luckily for me she was available. She arrived on time and they spent over 7 hrs. together. Riley was very happy to spend time with Kiera and I would be delighted if she agreed to come and look after him again.”

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.

“Clarence was amazing with our dog Auggie. He was very responsive, asked a lot of questions to make sure he was taking care of her as best he could, and I think she really enjoyed her time with him!”

Jack S.

“Susi is a literal dream! She was responsive, available in a pinch, was so communicative whilst we were away (and even sent puppy portraits of our happy for), and we were so at peace that our dog was well cared for. Can’t recommend enough - she has a warm and caring soul and you can feel her love for animals shine through to her core. Thanks, Susi!”

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.

“Ella is a lovely lady, she is experienced, caring and attentive. The girls had a wonderful day! I felt the girls were safe and very well cared for. Messages were always responded to quickly which made arranging everything very easy. I definitely recommend Ella.”

About: I've always had a love for animals and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I've grown up surrounded by dogs through friends and family, and I've regularly helped by walking and caring for their dogs over the years. I'm an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so whether your dog loves a gentle stroll or a long walk or run, I'm happy to tailor each walk to their energy level and needs. I'm also comfortable caring for cats, making sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection if they enjoy it. What sets me apart is that I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal's personality and routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I'll take the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm also happy to care for senior pets, following any routines or medication schedules provided, and I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to rather than a chore. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, visits, feeding routines, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m organised and reliable, and I understand the importance of keeping pets to their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s an energetic walk, a relaxed stroll, playtime, or simply spending time keeping them company. I understand that welcoming someone into your home or trusting them with your pet is a big responsibility. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of reassurance while you’re away. For walks and visits, I prioritise safety by using secure leads or harnesses, being aware of my surroundings, and adapting activities to suit each pet’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’ll always treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own cat.

“Excellent service from Jessica just like last time! She is kind and professional. Our Charlie was looked after perfectly, and enjoyed very much his play date with Jessica's dog Luffy! Highly recommended!”

“Pranati was so helpful and corresponded with me often which was really reassuring, she took great care of my dog and he was happy and relaxed when I came home. I already asked if Pranati could dog sit again! Thank you Pranati”
