Pet Sitting Richmond

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and have always loved all animals. I have dog sat for friends and family several times throughout my life. I am extremely reliable and organised. If I'm at a house with pets, you can guarantee I'm spending time with the furry folk rather than the human kind. I have a very flexible job with plenty of free time, so I am able to care for and play with your pets often. I work from home most days of the week, and my husband is currently at home full-time. I am completely available on weekends. I am happy to crate your dog if needed. I have a garden that is not fenced, so would always use a lead when taking pets outside. I live very close to a large park so have very easy access to areas where your dog can run around and play.

About: I’ve housesitted pets since I was 15. I adopted my, now 6 year old dog, when she was still in diapers (she now lives in another county with my sister). I’ve taken care of other people’s puppies and senior dogs. I am a very calm and patient person, I handle critical situation with composure. I love walking in my free time and I would enjoy it more with a furry companion! I have a lot of free time in my week as a recent student. Most of my work is done remotely and on my tablet. I’m mostly available at any time of the day, I am an early risera, and like most do I usually go out during the day but I am open to work in the evening too. I will obviously follow the instructions, rules and preferences to the letter for the animal’s safety and health. I will providen simple training games without over exercising, and toys. I will stay on time as possible regarding the walking schedule to prevent accidents. I am a very tidy person, I directly clean up after myself and the animal. I try my best to not let pet hair to build up. I will monitor health and be on the lookout for unusual behaviour.

“A lovely evening out knowing Gina was in good hands. Gina can be a bit wary with new people but engaged quite quickly with Nick who has a warm gentle approach.”

About: My family dog Ralph is aged 5, and I've been looking after him since he was just a puppy. My favourite little guy who I miss as he's in Scotland. Experienced with on lead and off lead walking and basic training. I'm a freelance creative working in VFX production and I am looking to fill my time away from the hectic world of film with relaxed dog walks and hangouts. I’m not offering care in my own home, but if visiting yours I can play in the house/fenced garden and depending on recall off lead/non-fenced play too.

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.

“Great experience with Agnieszka C and lovely photos received. Will book again. Thank you very much.”

“Frangelica took excellent care of both of my cats while I was away for a little over a week. She gave me descriptive updates and photos so I knew what they were up to every day. My kitten required a lot of playtime and Frangelica was up to the task! I would definitely book her again for my next trip.”

“Anya was great, it was so nice seeing the photos of the cats each day and know they were comfortable and at home. Thanks so much - highly recommend.”

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.

About: When I was little, I begged and begged my mum to let me have a dog. Reluctant to take on this responsibility, she asked the neighbour if I could walk his dogs - an elderly collie and a sweet little Westie called Oska - once a week. I adored them like they were my own, and this soon led to more dog-walking and pet-sitting for other friends and family, from feeding, brushing and cuddling cats to making sure the rabbits got their exercise without escaping the (fairly bunny-proofed) garden! I am experienced with different types of pets with different families, ages and personalities, so you can be sure your furry baby is safe with me :) I work flexibly from home so will have plenty of opportunities to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you are away! As I’m able to stay with them for most of the day, we’ll have plenty of chances to play, and for dogs, I’m happy to go for nice long walks to make sure we both get our daily dose of exercise! :) I live in a calm suburban area with multiple large green areas nearby, which are great for walks! Considering many pets are sensitive to new people and environments, I always take the time to ensure they can happily get to know me and acclimatise to my home. I am also very adaptable and can follow specific requirements for pets whenever needed.

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: 30 year old dog lover living in Richmond. I I grew up with dogs from aged 8, we went through 3 generations! We had 5 litters with two of them and it was an incredible experience to grow up with. I love dogs so much but it’s not the right time for us to have one of our own, so I’d love to help out to whoever needs it. We often dog sit for my partners family dogs, and my sisters’ dogs. Very confident looking after and caring for dogs and would love to have a furry friend join me on my daily walks. I work from home Monday/Wednesday/Friday, in office on Tuesday and Thursday but not mandatory. I go for walks at lunchtime everyday, and often after work. We have a small courtyard garden and short walk away from Richmond park / the river. Plenty of space for a crate. We don’t currently have any pets of our own.

“Bizhen was fantastic and was able to help come over last minute. She was considerate and careful during the heat wave and highly trustworthy. I recommend her to anyone”
