4. Billie H.
“Billie looked after our cavapoo, Luna over Christmas while we were travelling and provided the highest of care. We got regularly video updates and Luna was settled and very comfortable in her surroundings. She's also dropped in to visit her when requested and taken her out for walks. She's quickly built up trust with Luna and we have no hesitation in asking her to care for her when we are unavailable. Billie clearly has a caring nature and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to look after your pet.”
5. Debora P.
“Deborah was a fantastic cat sitter. She is reliable, super friendly and my cat loved her. She sent me loads of photos every day and my very timid cat really warmed up to her. My cat takes medication twice daily and I felt very comfortable that Deborah was on top of that at all times. It was so reassuring knowing my elderly cat was in very safe hands and getting a lot of love and care the whole time I was away. I would definitely recommend Deborah to others. Thank you Deborah from me and Dasha!”

12. Daniella S.
About: Hi my name's Bella! I am currently a pet sitter for the online company Very Important Pets. I work with cats and dogs of all types. I grew up with 3 family dogs and have had a dog of my own for 5 years. I love all types of dogs and I am knowledgeable in caring for your pet in plenty of ways: bathing, walking, feeding, and playing, of course. It is always my priority to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe with me as well as having a happy time. I'm currently studying dance full-time, so weekdays I am not available during the days. Evenings and weekends I am very flexible and open to last minute bookings. It is very important to me that your pet is comfortable around me and I will work very hard to earn their trust as well as yours. I am fully vaccinated.
13. Natasha W.
“I adore Nat with my dog. Nat looks after her with so much care, always willing to bath her if she has been for a long muddy walk. Makes sure she is happy at all times. Clearly listens to instructions, when there is new medication to be included at meal times. I would recommend Nat to any dog owner.”
14. Evie M.
“Evie came for a 30 minute drop in while we worked on some desensitisation training with knocking/guests on my dog Merlin. She was very calm and ignored Merlin when asked (which can be very difficult) while i trained him. Would definitely book with her again for further drop ins and other services for Merlin 🙏 Thank you Evie for responding to somewhat strange request and I’ll be sure to ask for tips when we visit Vietnam next month 😊”
15. Tara M.
“Tara is an organised, reliable and trustworthy sitter! She’s helped me out a number of times looking after my dog, and Kelly has always had the best time with Tara whenever I come to pick her up! Perfect location to me too as she’s super close by, can’t recommend enough 😊”
16. Celestine K.
About: I have always had pets in my family home. Since I moved to London for work, I am not able to have a pet and I really miss it so pet sitting is for me the dream job. I am very active and I walk at least one hour every morning and again in the evening !! I work part time as an educational assistant (3 mornings : monday, thursday and friday) and the rest of the week I work from home as a freelance social media manager. I can easily take care of your pets 4 days a week and during holidays. I am always respectful of someone else's home knowing that there is a level of trust that should not be disrespected. My attention will only ever be on the pets and making them feel comfortable with me.
17. Alex K.
“An absolute life saver after we have a sitter cancel last minute. Arrived early as it was such a late booking, I felt totally at ease leaving benji with Alex and wouldn’t hesitate to book or recommend Alex. Thank you so much”
18. Jessica W.
“Jessica has looked after our cavapoo, Molly, on multiple occasions now. She has looked after Molly in our home, but also for daycare in her own flat. Jessica is a brilliant dog sitter - she maintains great communication, is caring and a natural with Molly (Molly is always very excited to see her!), and is a lovely, reliable person. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter for their precious pup!”
19. Phillip W.
About: Hi! My name’s Phill and I’d love to take care of your dogs! I’m an author of two books (working on the third), and an actor, so have a somewhat unconventional schedule with great flexibility and plenty of free time. I live close to Richmond Park (Richmond Gate and Sheen Gate) and would really enjoy taking your dog for long walks! I’d also be happy to house sit, drop in and feed your dogs at home or let them out as needed. Sadly, I lost my own dog a few years back to old age, and find it too heartbreaking to replace her. I’ve always had dogs in my life from an early age, and miss their company. But I would enjoy meeting new furry friends and take very good care of them. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need a responsible sitter! I work from home and only need a days notice to pet sit (sometimes less) so do get in touch if you need last minute help or more! I have regular clients around Richmond, Barnes and St Margaret’s (happy to give details for references). Each dog and cat are different and the owners require different things. I’m very confident with powerful and boisterous dogs, and I also have a couple of senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and medication. I also have experience with nervous dogs who need a keen eye when out and about because they don’t mix well with other dogs.

“I know Megan to be an extremely caring, professional person, who loves dogs having grown up with them her whole life. I highly recommend Megan.”
