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 took great care of Biscuit. Super responsive, communicative and I felt good leaving Biscuit to be cared for by her. Biscuit can be challenging, especially with new people, so I really appreciated Anya following our needs and care instructions. We came home to Biscuit being very happy. Would recommend!

Serena is such a fab catsitter! Our shy and nervous cat seemed to immidiately like her, and Serena made efforts to gently and gradually earn her trust and make her feel comfortable. She sent regular reassuring and kind updates, and we came back to a happy, well-looked after kitty 😊 we're thankful for her help and super 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: 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: Whether you’re away for the day, or perhaps a few nights, I make sure your pets stay comfortable, safe, and happy at home. Daily walks, feedings, playtime, and updates included. Peace of mind matters as much as good company. I offer dependable pet sitting with a flexible schedule that works around you and your pet’s routine. I’m a fitness enthusiast, so I’m often out walking local parks and nature trails, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy staying active and getting fresh air. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I adapt to what your pet needs. I keep things simple, safe, and stress-free. I work full time- but flexibly, affording me time before and after my working hours. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d expect from someone looking after mine. I follow your routines and instructions closely, so your pet feels secure and settled in their familiar environment. I keep things tidy, stick to agreed boundaries, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and rest they need. Whether it’s watering plants, collecting post, or keeping things in order, I’m happy to help with the little things that make your time away easier.

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.

About: I’m a London-based professional with a flexible schedule over the next few months, offering reliable and attentive pet care. I grew up with cats and a dog (a sprocker spaniel) and have lots of experience dog sitting for family and friends. I’m organised and responsive, and I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely. I can also keep you updated with messages and photos :) Pet care fits easily into my routine as I mainly work from home four days a week and currently have a flexible schedule while working my notice period. This means I’m available for daytime walks, check-ins and feeding, and can adapt my schedule to meet specific needs. I provide attentive and structured care, adapting to each pet’s usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and settled. At home, I live in a lower ground flat with access to a shared, picket-fenced garden, which offers a secure and calm environment. I’m also very close to Richmond Green and Richmond Park, so dogs benefit from regular walks in open, green spaces. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely, including feeding, walking and any specific instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is being well looked after.

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 :) I live in a suburban area with communal green space around my building and a larger park nearby, and always ensure my flat is a safe space for pets to explore. 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 flat. I am very adaptable and can follow specific requirements for pets whenever needed.

This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, administering medication if required, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. In a pet owner's home, I make sure the pet's environment stays clean and familiar while respecting the owner's property.

About: I studied animal medicine at university in China. I had a cute bichon for 16 years, and now I have a lovely schnauzer in UK. I am gentle to pets and good at taking care of them, like getting along with them, taking pills, taking shower, hair cutting, etc. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for boarding after 9:00 am. I may arrange it for you. Dogs all like going out and have fun, especially they need to pee and poo. This is a very important routine. I can make the dogs follow along. And I will take care of the safety of them

In Hannah's absence her partner Johnny took good care of Orlando. He sent daily photos & took the time to play with Orlando & give her cuddles, it was great to see her sat on his lap looking happy & relaxed. Thankyou for taking such good care of her & for feeding the birds & squirrels too. Highly recommend 😻

Hayleigh was fantastic, and sent daily updates. It was clear my cats trusted her and she seemed to really enjoy spending time with them. A cancelled flight led to some panic but Hayleigh had topped dry food and water to the max so they were fine for the delay. Ill definitely reach out next time we're away

This is the second time that Clare has looked after our 2 cats whilst we have been away from home. We are very happy with the care that Clare provides, she spends time with our cats to make sure that both are happy and well, alongside feeding them etc. Clare sends us photos and updates from each of her visits which we really appreciate. We trust Clare completely and would recommend her as a reliable and caring pet-loving person.

Our 3rd time now rebooking Svea to look after our cats - she is the absolute best! My cats can be quite wary around new people in their house but Svea has been so kind and patient with them and 3 visits in they are coming to her for treats and cuddles 🥰 It’s such great peace of mind when we’re away knowing they’re happy and so well looked after. We always get lovely photos and detailed updates from her - would highly recommend Svea as a cat sitter 🩷🐾
