“Great updates from Amir. Particularly appreciated the details provided, and the care taken in ensuring my cats were doing well despite the stress of being left alone by their human. They are not used to this and I felt Amir understood that really well.”


“Lowri is absolutely amazing! Our cat had a wonderful time with her. Lowri followed all of our instructions carefully, sent regular updates along with plenty of photos, and made sure to consider every little detail to ensure both Honey and our home were well looked after. It was clear that Honey was getting top-notch care. We came home to a happy and relaxed cat! After searching for the perfect sitter for a while, we finally feel like we've found the one. We will definitely book Lowri again!”


“I had such a great experience with Kate looking after my elderly Jack Russell Peg over a long weekend. She lives really conveniently close by, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy. I got lovely updates throughout the stay—photos and messages that really put my mind at ease. Peg looked so comfortable with Kate, and it was heart-warming to see how well she got along with Kate’s dog Juno. It felt like a little vacation for Peg too! I’ll happily send her back to Kate anytime. Highly recommend!”


About: 🐾Warm, safe, trusted, and friendly home for your pup when you go out! 🐾 Hi! I’m Eily, a lifelong pet lover based in Camberwell. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or long workday, I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where your dog can feel right at home. I offer dog boarding, day care, and walks (if local) from my pet-friendly flat with nearby access to Brunswick Park and Burgess Park (most local). I only take dogs from one household at a time to ensure each one gets the attention they deserve. You can expect: ✅ Clear and timely communication ✅ Photo and video updates ✅ Safe walks and playtime ✅ Flexibility ✅ Most importantly, a warm and loving home environment for when you’re not there ✅ Comfort and experience Get in touch to book your slot, I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐶✨ I currently work full time but I WFH Monday, Tuesday and Friday, but lots of time in between to care for pups and love them! I can go on walks during the day and at lunch time and if your dog has good recall (and the owner is comfortable!), we can play in the park next to my house. I live on the bottom floor of a little cul de sac in Camberwell, it’s quiet and peaceful during the day and at night. There are parks within walking distance of my flat too!

I had a Samoyed as a child and grew up with her and took care of her until she grew old . Unfortunately I don’t have a dog atm but my sister has a gorgeous lab/lurcher cross who I am absolutely obsessed with and basically treat her like she’s my own . I also have experience using borrow my doggy where i have looked after all types of different dogs, from daschunds to staffies! I’m looking for lovely dogs, that I can take for walks and have at home as well. I’m usually available on weekday evenings and at weekends. I work from home most Mondays and Fridays so could also do lunch time / morning walks ☺️ I can offer your pet somewhere to stay over night either at mine or at their own home if needed. I live in a flat but have lots of green spaces around me and am able to take them out whenever they need /want.

“Holly is really lovely friendly and professional Biggie took to her straight away all his needs were met during the week loved getting the photos and updates every day I did not worry all week about his care as all was taken care of perfectly.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 7. I grew up with three dogs (Big Ben, Jake and Dylan), five cats (Pearl, KitKat, Rolo, Twix and Bella), and two rabbits (Flopsy and Poppy). It’s a lot I know! I understand the responsibilities that come with animal care and will always prioritise your pets safety and comfort. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, kittens and senior animals. I’m comfortable to give pets medication as long as you give detailed instructions. I’m happy to send you multiple update videos and pictures of your fur baby when I’m with them! I’m currently a full time art student so am on campus Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday but I will be able to visit your pets in the hours between classes. When staying in a pet owners home I do my absolute best to act with care and consideration - this means you can count on me not to snoop or rummage through your cupboards! I will clean anything I use and leave your home exactly as you left it. I am happy to bring my own food with me, and when I am not caring for your pet I will probably be catching up on my university work, reading or watching Netflix. I will pick up dog poo, keep litter trays clean and wash food/water bowls.

About: I've always been fascinated by dogs and found myself deeply drawn to understanding dog behavior. I've been around dogs all my life. I grew up with a rowdy, full of affection German Shepherd who deserved every bit of love he received. I volunteered at local dog shelters, walking dogs who had hard lives, giving them the care they needed. Then I volunteered at the local dog school, eventually becoming an assistant trainer. I gained valuable knowledge and hands-on experience while working there. Helping dogs and their guardians live their best lives is something I’m very passionate about. I'm currently on my way to becoming a professional dog trainer. I've completed the IMDT's 2-Day Career as a Dog Trainer Course and the 4-Day Practical Instructor Course, along with attending numerous dog training and behavior conferences and webinars to deepen my knowledge. My approach to dogs is all about building a conversation. Understanding a dog's body language and behavior is key to making that conversation go both ways. Building trust and mutual understanding lays the foundation for a long, happy journey for you and your dog. Your dog will get all the care, attention, and love they deserve—whether it's on walks, during drop-in visits, dog sitting, or training sessions with me. I'm working from home and have a flexible schedule so will have plenty of time to give your doggy a full attention and have lots of fun! I have a lot of hand of experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages, so you can be sure your dog is in good hands :)

“Kate is very reliable. She checks in at booked times and from the daily photos it’s obvious she formed a happy bond with our cat from the start. We will definitely book her again if she’s available.”


“Emma was brilliant with our cat Peggy! She instantly warmed to Emma when she came by to meet her for the first time. Whilst we were away Emma fed, and played with Peggy. As it was hot she even stook around to open window and be ventilate the flat for our house cat. Communication was excellent, lots of photo updates too. Would 100% recommend!”


About: I have taken care of various animals from small crazy dogs to big huskies, to reptilians and rodents to aquatics. I have had many different pets in the past and am currently raising my baby milo who is a cockapoo (1 year old 9months). Im an amazing cuddler and will spoil all pets given the chance! Sadly am allergic to cats but that didnt stop me from getting one! I can provide regular play time and potty even late at night if that is you fur babies schedule, and will ensure they are always well fed (within reason of course) and spoilt rotten as they deserve! I am always mindful of other peoples homes and will always make sure i leave it in the condition i found it in (i love organising things and keeping everything clean!) so you will never have to worry about coming back home to a state! :) I am on an apprenticeship course currently so i do work full working hours on working days and am free all of friday evening/night the full Saturday/morning evening and night and sunday evenings (after my piano lesson). On a regular day after work i come home to help train my puppy (who was a gift to me and siblings) hence why i am usually quite busy on working days I will gladly and happily abide by any rules the owner has given me and any instructions for your pet and their needs. I will be able to provide treats and regular potty time. I will also provide as much play time they would want along with safe walks and relaxation breaks. I am very mindful of my surroundings and attentive.

About: I have always loved pets, and have looked after neighbours, family and friends' cats and dogs on and off for much of my adult life! I have flexible working arrangements - mostly working from home and able to choose my office days/times so can work around any furry companions' needs :-) I enjoy keeping pets company at home relaxing, as well as getting out for walks, so happy to spend lots of quality time playing with pets but also giving them a safe environment to relax in.

“Miriam was so wonderful with our dog. He is incredibly shy, and she was so patient with him and respectful of his boundaries- while still taking care of our house and leaving everything perfectly set up for him as we have requested. We will absolutely book her again to visit our sweet (shy!) dog.”


About: My experience with dogs is extensive; I cared for my family dog for 13 years and I have plenty of experience walking, playing with, feeding, cleaning & providing care for other people's pets. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, and have experience handling dogs of excitable/nervous temperament. Used to energetic and more docile pups alike! I work from home full-time, so I'm around all day every weekday to care for and walk your dog, and to give them lots of attention. Working from home full-time, I will be around all day everyday for your pet — you can rest assured I'll be nearby at all times & regularly free for toilet breaks and cuddles.

Heather attention to detail and concern for my cat’s wellbeing makes me recommend Heather without any hesitation.

Eily A.
“In short, Eily is unbelievable with dogs. During lockdown she would care for my dog and some of the local’s while many were going through an incredibly ruff (dog pun) time. She has a natural energy that it’s hard not to admire. My dog was always reluctant to come home after spending the day with her. Whether your dog is a tiny chihuahua or a Great Dane, they will be in safe hands.”

Veronika S.Star Sitter
“"Exceptional Care for My Anxious Pup" Veronika has been an invaluable part of our dog's life for the past couple of years. As a pet owner with a an anxious dog, I am extremely selective about who cares for him. From the outset, Veronika has demonstrated a deep understanding of his needs, providing not only regular walks but also the mental stimulation and attention he requires when we're away. Her approach goes beyond basic care; she tailors each session to engage his mind and body, ensuring he's both entertained and comfortable. It's evident that Veronika is passionate about dogs and possesses a profound understanding of canine behaviour. She takes the time to learn about each dog's preferences and quirks, adapting her care accordingly. One of the aspects I appreciate most is her transparent communication. She provides regular updates, including photos and notes, which give me peace of mind knowing my dog is in capable and caring hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Veronika to any pet owner seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable dog carer. Her commitment to providing exceptional care is truly commendable.”
