“Pamela was friendly and great with Pepper, who clearly had a really good day. Pamela's flat was lovely and Pepper felt right at home straight away. She had plenty of walks and we got pictures throughout the day.”

“Reliable and caring. Christiane sent me updates and pictures during Ciccio's stay and I could just see how happy he was to be with her. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Aidan was an absolute star! He has looked after a Jerry twice and both times was an excellent communicator and so sweet with Jerry. He also went completely above and beyond collecting Jerry from our wedding ceremony, an absolute professional and so sweet with Jerry. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

“First time using Rover as a dog mum so was a little nervous but got a really good vibe from Meggie - and was not disappointed!! Super accommodating for last minute changes to the meet and greet, completely open to mine and my girlfriends directions and instructions on how we train/treat Oso, sent lots of pictures and updates - we are sooo happy we have found someone who we can trust and relax to take care of him! He clearly loves Meggie and I think the feeling is mutual, already rebooked for another stay!! :)”

“Rudy had a lovely stay with Chloe and Reuben! We got sent some update pictures and could see he was very relaxed and made himself at home. We had great communication with Chloe from when we first enquired / throughout. Would defo recommend booking Chloe and Reuben! Thank you x”

“Senia looked after Maggie for a week whilst I was on holiday. She was really kind and looked after her incredibly well- thoroughly recommended her and will be asking her to have Maggie again!!!”

“Having never left our wee Narla over night with strangers, we were a tad nervous. Lluis & Oliver , however, were amazing & we couldn’t have asked for more. We’ll book with them again if we need to. I totally recommend their service & love for dawgs.”

“Elisabetta was very caring for my old beagle. She was sending me very often updates, I didn't have to chase for anything.. Ellie seamed relaxed and happy! Will definately use her services again!”

“Daisy had a lovely stay with Jenny…lots of cuddles, made to feel at home and made friends with new doggy friends! Jenny was very accommodating about her dietary needs and arranged a meet-up before the stay to get to know Daisy. She also sent us updates and photos. Thank you Jenny ?”

“Bridget and her partner took care of our dog Nala for a long weekend and we cannot recommend them enough. As she is a rescue, she can be very anxious at times and they were very understanding when we explained this to them during our initial meet-up and assured us we had nothing to worry about! We received daily photos and updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”

“Emma and Buch were absolutely fantastic looking after our dog Pip. From the start their communication was excellent and they were very responsive, keeping us updated throughout which gave us real peace of mind. They are both incredibly friendly and warm with such a calm and reassuring energy that immediately put us and Pip at ease. Their flat is lovely and very welcoming, making it a great environment for a dog to stay in. We truly felt that Pip was in safe hands the entire time and we would definitely use them again. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters. Thanks again! 💗”

“Rodney has stayed with Ann and Milo twice now and they are absolutely fantastic dog sitters. Rodney has had a poorly paw and needed a lot of additional attention because of this. They have looked after him so well and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you both x”

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and now have my own dog who is 3 years old. I love taking care of dogs and ensuring they have the best experience possible. I focus on weekend care as I do work in central London a few days a week. I live in a very dog friendly area and love spending the weekends taking my dog on lots of long walks. I have a fenced garden, a fenced community garden, and access to two large parks nearby. I live in a flat alone with my own very friendly dog.
“We love Stella! She did such an incredible job looking after Kipper while we were away, and I don't think he wanted to leave. She is so communicative, and a really safe and experienced pair of hands for all sorts of dogs. She is clearly extremely passionate about animals, and Kipper immediately bonded with her. We got tonnes of updates and really helpful feedback at the end of his stay. We would use Stella again in a heartbeat!”

“Steve has been an absolutely outstanding sitter for our dog, Penny. From the very beginning, he showed genuine care, attention, and professionalism. He followed all of the guidance and routines we shared with great diligence, which gave us immediate peace of mind. What really stood out is how proactive and intuitive he was in supporting Penny’s needs. Penny can be quite anxious outside the home, but Steve handled this with real understanding and confidence. His personal experience with anxious dogs clearly shows—he knew exactly how to manage situations calmly and effectively, helping Penny feel more secure. Throughout the stay, Steve kept us regularly updated with thoughtful messages and lovely photos, which we really appreciated. It made a huge difference knowing how well Penny was doing. We also felt very reassured by how welcoming and caring his whole family has been—it truly felt like Penny was in a safe and supportive environment. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve and have already booked him again. He has been an incredible support to us and, most importantly, a fantastic companion for Penny.”

“Whiskey had an amazing time with Rodrigo. He can be aloof but I could tell when I picked him up, how much he bonded with Rodrigo. He was well taken care of and I got almost daily updates. Not only will I rebook but definitely recommend”

“Very happy with Carolina - my dog Skye seemed to have a great time with her. Carolina kept me updated by sending my pictures and the whole communication was great. Would definitely recommend!”

“Francini was a wonderful sitter for my dog! She took her time to understand my dogs needs and reassured she’d do just fine. She is responsible, communicative, flexible & caring. Very much appreciated her letting my dog sleep on her bed with her. My dog looked happy and relaxed & would not hesitate to book her again!”

Kamala took wonderful care of Uma and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which helped Uma settle in nicely, and the pick-up and drop-off went very smoothly. She sent lots of photos and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Uma was happy and well looked after. I would absolutely book with Kamala again and highly recommend her to anyone :)

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog on our wedding weekend. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Throughout the day, we received regular updates, photos, and videos, which meant so much to us and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying. It was clear that he was being treated like part of the family and receiving lots of love, attention, and care. We came back to a very happy, relaxed pup, and we are incredibly grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown. We would wholeheartedly recommend Yunan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. Thank you for helping make our wedding day stress-free!

Yicen was amazing and helped us out at very short notice while we were in hospital having our baby. Our plans kept changing and we ended up extending Matti’s stay, but she was always flexible, supportive and easy to reach. Knowing Matti was in such good hands meant we could focus on what was happening and not worry about him. He had a great time, and we’re incredibly grateful for all her help.

This was my first time leaving Ivy for several days with someone I did not know and I was anxious about the whole process. From first meeting Marie she made me feel way more relaxed about the whole process. I explained to her that Ivy can be quite anxious but she was completely understanding and accommodating. Unfortunately Ivy was a bit ill whilst staying with Marie but she was very understanding and caring. Marie was very communicative and responsive every day as well. I could not recommend Marie higher.

Ivan was simply fantastic. This was the first time we had left Cami with anyone and we were slightly nervous but Ivan kept us updated everyday with photos and videos of her amazing walks so we knew she was being well looked after. Each day she got to explore a different park so she never got bored. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Cami and would definitely book with Ivan again.

Jess was amazing with our dog Corbin. He stayed for just over a week and he had the most amazing time. She provided us with regular photos of them at the park and playing with other dogs. I am sure Corbin was sad when we picked him up as he wanted to stay lols. I cannot recommend Jess enough, she is the best dog sitter in London! Hands down! Cannot recommend her highly enough 👍

Veronica was the most caring, accommodating sitter we could hope to leave our little guy with. Such an ease on your nerves meeting someone who genuinely adores all pups and we had constant communication and photos which were lovely to see. Cannot recommend her enough and I think my little rascal can’t wait for his next hang out with her either

Bhumika and her partner took such good care of our Jasper. There were constant updates which left us reassured that he was well looked after- lots of cuddles, walks, playtime through images and videos. They also kept us informed about his eating habits and sleep patterns all that left us feeling and knowing he was having the best time! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely book her again. Communication was super easy and she even met up with me twice prior to booking. We did a mini dog walk in the park and then headed to her place so that I could see where Jasper would be based. The best reassurances are knowing you can build trust with your dog sitter and this certainly occurred with Bhumika!
