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!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and looking after them since the age of 10. Additionally I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs whether that be dog walks or pet sitting . I work part time now I have graduated , meaning I have lots of free time to care for your pups and take them for walks I don’t offer services in my own home . However I would like to interact with the pet as much as possible . Additionally will be mindful of doors and other hazards as well as follow the owners instructions .

About: I’m a reliable, calm and attentive sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, from energetic young pets that need patience and consistency, to senior pets that require a gentler, more attentive approach. I’m confident sticking to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement and administering basic medication if needed. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give. I take the time to build trust with each animal, understand their personality and create a calm environment where they feel relaxed and secure. I’m also extremely clean, respectful and dependable, so owners can feel confident both their pets and home are in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, consistency and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime and keeping to feeding schedules are something I’m happy to prioritise. I’m also organised and flexible, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I always prioritise creating a safe, calm and familiar environment for pets, whether I’m in my own home or caring for them in theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely so their routine stays consistent, including feeding, walks, medication and any specific care needs. In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I make sure doors, gates and windows are properly secured and that pets are never put in risky situations on walks or during play. I take time to build trust with each pet, moving at their pace and paying close attention to their behaviour so I can respond to their needs properly. My goal is always to keep them relaxed, safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

“Can't say enough about Richard - genuinely one of the nicest guys Ive met. Was incredibly patient and kind with our moody cat and very reliable and professional of course. Highly recommended.”

About: I provide dog walks and caring, reliable pet care tailored to your pet's routine. Whether it's exploring local parks, enjoying riverside walks, visiting Richmond Park, or simply playing and spending quality time together, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds of my own, and have plenty of hands-on experience training pets, and looking after dogs and cats for friends and family, including Great Danes, Boxers, Cocker Spaniels, and Bengal cats. While living in Toronto, I volunteered at an animal shelter on weekends, helping care for over 200 kittens, including sick and vulnerable ones, with feeding schedules as frequent as every 1–2 hours. I loved volunteering there, especially as I travelled frequently for work at the time and wasn't able to have a dog/cat of my own. I currently have plenty of time as I'm taking a break from work, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate lots of time to the pets in my care. Whether it's longer park walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently taking some time away from work, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it's daycare, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, I'm happy to work around your needs and make sure your dog gets lots of attention throughout the day. Your dog will stay in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly flat with plenty of space to relax. There's a secure shared fenced garden for fresh air, and we're just a short walk from a local park with a fenced dog area for safe exercise and play.

“So lovely, calm, dependable, really responsive. Positive interactions with Olive, my anxious dog seemed completely relaxed with her. Highly 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!”

Saleema S.

“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

About: I’ve taken care of lots of friend’s and family dogs. This has ranged from walks, overnight stays and me moving in to take care of their pets whilst they’re on holiday. I’m available for boarding, overnight stays and walks. I’m a teacher so I’m available during school holidays and weekends to provide full time care. I live in a house with my partner. We have a fenced garden at the front. It’s a private closed road so it’s an extremely safe. I am available for evening and weekend bookings. We both love dogs and have lots of experience with puppies and older dogs too. I currently have lots of availability for weekend and school holidays and I’m experienced in longer stays. I love walking and the river is close by and fantastic for longer walks. I have a fenced front garden and the river is close by for walks. Your puppy will have access to the garden and will be able to play freely there.

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
