Pet Sitting Richmond

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.

“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!”

“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: Have very frequently looked after friends and neighbours’ cats and dogs since 14 years old. As a student, I don’t have pets of my own but have always wanted one (not picky though my sister adores cats). Some of my pet sitting experience includes looking after cats for months at a time, as well as sitting for a friend with 3 dogs. I am very good at adapting to pets’ specific needs and just really enjoy looking after them in general :) I’m currently on my post A-Level Summer holiday and apart from a couple weeks of travelling I should be mostly free to cat/dog sit. When walking dogs I take them to large parks to play and exercise, taking them along routes away from main roads where possible. With cats, I’m more than happy to stick around and play with them to help de-stress if you’re away. Also able to clean litter trays etc.

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.

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: 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: 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: 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.

About: Nearly 30 years of experience with my own dogs (border collies and cockerpoos), both from puppies to more senior doggos! Very comfortable with training dogs too. Currently work from home 3 days a week, so available to walk, sit or board on weekdays or weekends! Can easily flex work schedule around furry friends! I live in a very well contained, beautiful flat just off Richmond Green, so have plenty of options for walkies! My partner, Angus, is also dog obsessed - so between us we make a perfect pair! Photo of the two of us in my photos ☺️☺️🐶🐶

About: Having lived with cats and been around animals my whole life, they have always been my happy place. Always happy to help out and take care of any kind of animal! From bringing up kittens to having a current very adorable 16 year old black lab (with plenty of bunnies and fish in between) i've seen animals through all stages of life and understand what they need to thrive. I am currently available to help out every day with the exception of Saturdays, with availability all throughout the day. I am very flexible with days and times, so please don't hesitate to reach out. Throughout the years, I have always been the go to person in my circle of friends and family to take care of the pets. I am very comfortable going into client's houses to perform tasks around their pets, and have done tasks such as walking/ letting out the pets, changing the food and water bowls, and cleaning up after them/ changing litter boxes.

“Jo is amazing. Stepped in really last minute so that I could take my daughter out. Trustworthy, punctual and respectful of our home, benji adores her. We love seeing Jo and ending the dog sit with a nice chat. Thank you so much.”
