About: Hi! Lovely to e-meet you, here is a brief description of my previous experience and why you should choose me as a pet sitter! Previous experience as a dog sitter with a variety of dog breeds and sizes including border collies, whippets, cockapoo, pomerians, schnauzers. I have looked after dogs for a while now as well as growing up with a miniature schnauzer as a family dog! Love looking after dogs after moving away from home and no longer having my family dog around! Happy to look after all types of breeds and for a varied lengths of sittings. Open to dog sitting at houses dependent on duration and availability. Looking for opportunities to dog sit open availability's please message to discuss! Will meet up first to discuss requirements and allow you to see me interact with your dog! I worked full time but spend three days working from home. I have the flexibility to look after your dog and spend time with them whilst wfh. Ability to take them for walks and potty breaks. On the weekends if booked on advanced can pet sit, walk or do overnight stays! I take time to let your dog settle in to a new environment, making sure to bond with them when they are comfortable. Happy to play with their toys, cuddles and go for exciting walks!

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid - from German Sheppards to Golden Retrievers, Mastifs and Dachshunds. I am a huge dog lover and always making doggie friends everywhere I go! I have experience with anxious and nervous dogs, elderly dogs, administering medication, dog physio and hydrotherapy and have done dog nutrition consultations. I rescued my own dachshund cross Shaden in Slovakia when I was 17 and moved to England with him.He was my best friend and at the age of 16 passed away last year. He had a few special needs towards his senior years including daily medication, physio and hydrotherapy, a pram to get around due to his arthritis as well as a special home cooked diet due to his kidneys. I also have experience dog sitting anxious dogs as Shaden could get scared of loud noises and fireworks and I would often look after other rescues with anxiety. I also shared a house with a Mastif and 2 bulldogs for a number of years so have experience will all kinds of breeds and needs :). I absolutely adore dogs and cannot imagine my life without one! I am not quite ready to get my own dog just yet after Shaden but would love to have a buddy to take out and have some fun with while you are away! Please let me know and if your dogs are used to being in an office I can also take them in for longer stays and be flexible. I commute by train and it is about a 20min commute on the train and a 20min walk each side of the station. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I have just moved into my own house in Kingston recently so am home most weekends doing some gardening or exploring the local parks and area. *At the moment during the summer until September I am fully wfh :) * During Tues-Thurs I work in a dog friendly office at Google (we have loads of doggos come in!!) and I come home around 3pm every day so can do afternoon or evening dog sits. Alternatively, if your doggo is social and you are happy for them to be in a dog friendly office I am more than happy to take them in! I can be flexible during the week and work from home if requested during the weekdays too - I just need a bit of notice for this :). I have my own fenced garden and am close to Richmond and Bushy park but also have a lot of lovely walks around me. I live on the ground floor so it is easily accessible for small dogs as well as I had planned to be here with my elderly sausage dog. Dogs are my buddies and I absolutely adore them so they are allowed on any and all furniture including the bed and sofa for extra snuggles :).

“Samantha and her daughter did an excellent job looking after our cat! Communication was quick and clear, received daily updates and pictures and they even went an extra mile to wait for us to come back first before dropping off the keys in case of a delayed flight. Thank you both again! Definitely recommend!”

“Lexi took great care of Mango, our cat, for a few days of our trip. She was incredibly punctual, reliable, and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. She kept us updated throughout her visits, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing Mango was well looked after. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. I walk all the time and love to take dogs with me. I often house sit for friends when they go on holiday and need their pets looked after! I’m working part-time at the moment so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of pets. I go on long walks for photography and I love nature and a little furry company never hurts. A night in with a book and a pet by my side is my ideal night. I try to make pets feel comfortable by keeping to their usual routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and keep owners updated while they’re away.

“Grace took fantastic care of our cat, Mango, while we were away! She gave us complete peace of mind during our first time leaving him. She looked after him so well, sticking to his dinner routine, setting up his breakfast feeder, and making sure to include plenty of playtime. We absolutely loved receiving her daily updates with photos, which we really looked forward to each day. She was reliable and communicative throughout. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I highly recommend her and we will absolutely book again!”

“I’m a repeat client and she continues to be exceptional. The frequent photo and video updates (20+!) really show how attentive and caring she is. My cat adores her, and I always feel completely at ease when she’s watching them.”

About: I have experienced many opportunities working with Animals from an animal hospital working towards treatment plans to support every animal get back on their paws, to more recently on a dairy farm along side my border collie who taught me a thing or two in return. I love animals and plan to continue working with them throughout my life. In Australia I was able to live and work there for 3 years through various pet sittings, and animal care, from seniors learning a new trick to potty training a 8 week old puppy I have loved every moment. I am a confident trainer able to teach both my dog and cat the same tricks using some healthy treats I make myself. I’ve recently returned home after travelling and working in Australia for 3 years I am catching up on some much needed time with my pets. I try to aim for 2 walks daily, plus enrichment tasks which leaves time for training in the evenings. Rest of the time we probably getting some cuddles in I have a fenced garden where my friendly dog and cat like to explore. My dog is very sociable and loves to make new friends. While my house is suitable for some indoor exercise, I live close by to many small and large fenced parks where I like to let my dog run around. I have experience with dogs with medical needs as well as working with anxious rescues. I can provide safety and love for all my animals

“Ellie is an amazing and trustworthy pet sitter. She looked after our 2 kittens while we were away and she was genuinely loving and caring for them. She kept us updated with pictures and messages everyday and she kept their spaces clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thanks Ellie 💖🙏✨”

“Tara was very reliable. She sent photos each day. Most importantly my very nervous cat learnt to trust her and was happy to feed when she was around.”

About: As well as looking after family pets (cats and dogs), I've looked after dogs for several years through Borrow My Doggy. Breeds I've experience of looking after include: cockapoo, staffy, airedale, king charles. I really enjoy being around pets and having company, as well as a a pup being a good excuse to do more walking and exercise! We both work full time (9-5) but usually only go into the office a couple of days a week each, so can often be available to look after a dog from my flat or for walks, and to pop in to visit pets as needed. My evening and weekend plans are variable but we'll help if we can! We are living in a good sized flat with a balcony, and which is nearby to some parks which are good for dog walking or exercise. We would of course ensure that dogs are well fed and watered and feel safe, as well as making sure we get out and about to spend some energy!

About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.

“I’m so lucky to have found Georgiana! My pets and I loved her from the moment we met! She is super responsive, on time and keeping me in the loop with details and photos of my pets. Would recommend her to anyone and definitely book her again! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pets!”

About: I have around 5 years experience with dogs especially: walking and sitting in my home. I did around 2 years here in Surbiton with a dog I grew really close to and more when I was a teenager in Germany. I need notice as I’m working but I often work from home and a dog can spend that time with me. I can do walks at lunch time and before and after work. I usually work Sunday to Thursday and Sunday and Thursday I’m at home. Depending on the dog and its age I can either play with the dog, take the dog for walks or just spend time with the dog in the home.

“We were first time customers. Cash our 1 yr old black lab was looked after by Ross and Dareen over 10 days. Split between drop in visits and overnight stays. We couldn’t have wished for better care and attention. This was also a new experience for Cash, who initially was a little out of his comfort zone. We received regular updates with photos which was great. Their knowledge and patience truly put him at ease. He came home well cared for and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate in using their services again.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. At 17 I started house and pet sitting for friends and family, and at 19 I got a job at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I got this job in part because I was at university and missed my own dogs, but also because I remembered the anxiety that sometimes comes with leaving your dog in the care of someone else and liked the idea of being someone people trusted to love and care for their pets like their own. I work fully from home, so I can keep your pet company all day! I work a split shift, so I am up early in the morning and have a 2 hour break in the middle of the day where we can go for a walk, to the park, or take a nice nap together! My partner, CJ, is also a huge dog lover and will happily give your dog extra love and attention when he is home from work. You can see him pictured with Frankie the bulldog in my photos :) I have a private back garden that is mostly fenced - there is a small opening where the fence is broken, but your dog would never be outside unattended and the gap leads towards our flat's garages and not onto a road. My partner and I love cuddles, so your dogs are welcome to spend time on our furniture and we can easily crate them if needed or preferred! We live near a lovely, large gated park where we can take your dog to run and sniff.

“Lauren was brilliant. She updated me every time she came. My moody cat loved her. We felt very good having Lauren come. We will be booking her again.”
