Pet Sitting Tower Hamlets

About: Hi there! I am a teacher who has just broken up for the summer holidays and am looking to look after some lovely dogs! I have been fortunate enough to have family dogs ever since I was 8, ranging from Spaniels to Shih Tzu’s. This experience has made me love dogs from an early age, and together with looking after family dogs, friend’s dogs, and neighbour’s dogs over the years, has made it easy to adapt to a dog’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a high-energy dog sitter who can keep up with your dog, or someone who is willing to ‘sofa-n-chill’ with your pooch, I am confident I can cater to you and your dog’s needs :) I am currently off work for the summer holidays, so have plenty of time to play with, care for, and provide the necessary attention for your beloved pet! Mornings and day-time are ideal for me as evenings I would still like to spend with my own loved ones :) Ahead of caring for a dog in an owner’s home, I ensure I speak with the owner first to establish any potential safety problems (call it a risk assessment!). This helps both parties feel comfortable ahead of the care. This is included in the initial meeting. Going forward, I will ensure to contact the owner using the contact details provided should any problems arise :)

About: After having my own two dogs for the last 12 years I realise how hard it is to truly trust handing over your most precious pooches and much loved family members to people you don’t know. I rarely felt comfortable leaving my best friends with anyone which is tricky when we all lead such busy lives and with so many of us living without family members close by ready to help. Therefore I hope to be able to fill this space ! To ensure you feel your dogs are in the safest and kindest of hands whilst under my care. I have lost both of mine these last two years and our home doesn’t feel the same without a joyful wagging tail to wake up to so I promise you the dogs under my loving care will be absolutely doted on and treated as our own. I will enjoy their company immensely and hope to build a great rapport and friendship with all the dogs I look after. In the words of Ricky Gervais ‘dogs are the best invention in the world ever’ and I couldn’t agree more. I grew up with our own dogs and my own ponies as well as amongst an array of animals as my grandparents/uncle owned a working farm. Therefore I love nothing more than being surrounded by animals and feel at ease in their company. And I believe they do mine too ! I spend most days between London Fields and Victoria Park so your furry friends can come along with me for just walks or spend the whole day by my side. I have experience bringing up our frenchie and then our whippet so feel very in tune with bull breeds and sighthounds but adore and have been among most breeds. My daughter and I fostered dogs and I volunteered with street dogs in SE Asia so am used to large packs and varying temperaments. However I plan on offering a more personal, bespoke service keeping low numbers of dogs who I see frequently. That way we become very good friends and hopefully the dogs feel very happy and content in my care. And I want all my owners to feel reassured their dogs will not only be well cared for, doted on and enjoyed but will also have their needs met and be very safe and comfortable out on walks or living amongst us in our loving home. My frenchie had a lot of health issues after contracting canine meningitis aged 3 so I am used to giving many forms of medication and caring for dogs with extra needs. I am also a big fan of the oldies after watching and caring for mine in their golden years. Happy to take things a little slower with them and shower them with love. Rest assured your dogs will be in the best care. Please do get in touch ! My days are free to give my full attention and time dedicated to the dogs ! I prefer to walk where possible but also have a car where needed/for rainy days. I tend to spend the day in either Victoria park and London fields but on days where I am less busy we can do excursions further afield. The rest of the day can be spent lounging around with me in our very comfortable home, playing games and sunbathing in the garden. Very much home from home environment for your dogs which is exactly what I needed for mine who found large day cares too stimulating and quite stressful ! I have a fenced in garden and plenty of sofa/bed space to share. They are free to make themselves right at home in our house :)

“Thank you so much Deanne! We came home to a very happy, well fed, well watered and well loved Cosmic. Deanne was lovely to deal with, very reliable and trustworthy. We will definitely be keeping her on our favourite cat sitter’s list.”

About: I believe in providing a calm, safe, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have looked after family and friend’s pets while they have been away. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. Working in education allows me to care for your pets around peak holiday time. When looking after family and friends pets, I always make sure that their schedule is followed and that they are always well cared for and loved.

“Eleanor came to meet the dogs the night before she was coming to look after them, they loved her. Also great that Eleanor has done some dog grooming training so she spotted some little bumps they had from their last strip.”

“Rhonda was excellent! Very communicative, reliable with great initiative. Her kind approach along with her obvious love and understanding of dogs was extremely comforting. We had peace of mind knowing she was able to drop in and check on Holly who clearly took to her immediately. Rhonda went above and beyond for Holly which we greatly appreciate. She was able to help us out with little notice and replied straight away. Thanks again Rhonda :)”

“Thank you so much, Raluca, for looking after Joseph and Jabba while I was away on holiday for a month. I really appreciated you visiting them twice a week and being so sweet with my babies. I’m also very grateful that you were able to attend the same day for a last-minute emergency visit when there was an accident outside the litter box — it really gave me peace of mind. Thank you again for your help, care, and kindness with them.”

About: Hi, I’m Serafina! I’ve been caring for pets for almost 3 years through owning my French Bulldog, Rafael, as well as helping friends and family with their pets. I also volunteered at animal shelters for 3 years during school, which gave me experience with dogs of different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, administering medications, and handling reactive or anxious dogs with patience and understanding. Rafael is a very chill, friendly Frenchie who rarely barks and enjoys being around other dogs. I love animals and want to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away 😊 I’m currently a master’s student who has completed all of my classes and now works remotely from home on coursework, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for Rafael with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can provide consistent supervision, companionship, and updates while your baby is in my care 🤗 Creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, especially anxious or reactive dogs, so I always approach pets with patience and care. Rafael is very friendly, chill, and rarely barks, which helps visiting dogs feel more relaxed and comfortable. I live in a spacious 2-bedroom, pet-friendly apartment with a balcony, and my flatmate also loves animals. Our building has a fenced garden area, and there are plenty of green spaces nearby for walks, exercise, and outdoor time🪴 Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and will always have supervision, attention, and regular potty/play breaks 🐾

About: Hi! My name is Meg and I’m looking to spend some time with furry friends as I can’t currently have one of my own. I’ve cared for family and friend’s animals and have enjoyed it so much that I’m looking for some more experiences! I’m experienced with dogs and have house-sat for a cat before. I work from home a Thursday & Friday, therefore I’m around to cuddle, play with and walk your furry friends! We can go for a lunchtime walk and/or after work, as well as weekends. Listening to owner requests, keeping an eye out for potential dangers and listening to the pets. It’s important to build trust with a furry friend to have a safe and enjoyable time.

“I had a fabulous experience with Lucia. The cats immediately loved her and were super comfortable with her coming in. She was really communicative and shared updates and pictures of the cats and I felt really safe knowing she was coming in each day.”

“We had a great experience with Steven looking after our two cats, Tia and Poppy. From the initial meet and greet, he was friendly, professional and took the time to understand their routines and personalities. During each visit he followed all of our instructions carefully and kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We especially loved seeing that our usually shy and reserved cat, Poppy, really warmed up to him and even made friends with him, which says a lot! 😻 When we came home, both cats were relaxed, happy and clearly well looked after. We’d happily recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and communicative cat sitter, and we’d definitely book him again!”

About: I’ve got two dogs at home with my mum (8yrs and 1yrs) but recently moved to Limehouse without any pets of my own. I miss the walks and company. I look after my friend’s dogs occasionally which is lovely. I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and safe especially on walks. My flat is a good size for one or two dogs at a time and we have a good sized private terrace with plants and furniture. I work 4 days from home and study in evenings. My 1 office day is flexible so I can usually accommodate last minute bookings. For longer bookings or weekends I do need sufficient notice but will always try to accommodate. My flat is spacious, clean and has a large balcony. We’re close to a small park with lovely Thames side walks. Pets are allowed on the sofa (unless you train them otherwise, just let me know). I have spare dog bowls, poop bags and toys - clean water is always put down. Let me know about food needs and any medical issues your dog has. As well as any habits on walks which I should be aware of.

“Juan did a fantastic job looking after my girl! All of her needs were taken care of and we came home to a happy pup! I received many updates and photos so I knew she was in good hands! Would definitely recommend, super reliable and friendly service!”

“Maria was excellent with little Hugo who has a lot of energy and can be a handful at times. She is kind, friendly, very good communicator, and more importantly, she really knows how to mamage well a puppy.”

“Tetiana is an absolute gem and we feel so lucky to have found her! She took amazing care of our cats, sent detailed updates, and even helped manage an unexpected home emergency while we were away. She went above and beyond in every sense, and we're extremely grateful. She's wonderful and I can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: I have had dogs as family pets for years, ranging from small dogs like a shitzu to a big labrador. I can't have a pet in my current house but love being around them. My roomate did rover and it was wonderful having the dogs over. I have more experience with dogs than cats but I have cat sat 4 cats for my friend at their home whilst they were on holiday. I have a very flexible job that allows work from home as well as flexible hours so I can accommodate late nights and early visits. I have a fenced in garden at my home as well as a large living space. The floors are hard wood so clean up of any issues would be easy! I am happy to travel across London.

“Alessia come over to check my kitten before the actual drop in, and she also help with last mins drop in booking which I really appreciate, all go well last weekend! thank you:)”

About: I've always had animals in my life for the majority of my life in Italy, especially dogs. I've also taken care of parrots, rabbits and horses. I've had a Pomeranian for 12 years and in 2018 I had a Beagle that I took care and well trained. I moved abroad 2 years later first in Hungary where I've dog sitted several times a fox terrier and a Border Collie and then, at the end of 2022, in London . Currently I'm living with another Beagle of my flatmate that from time to time I also walk out and feed . Since I've always had dog around and I miss my Beagle boy I decided to join this portal to have the chance to still interact, play and take care of dogs. I'm a responsible and caring person and I love taking care of them, playing and interact understanding also when it's time to give them space thanks to my experience with my coallegues dogs and my owns. I'm working full time Mon-Fri but I really miss evening walk with dogs after work. On the weekends I'm completely free to take care of any dog with any need. For any other arrangments and requests I believe we can figure it out together :) I live in a flat with another person who is also a dog lover. I'd be really happy to take the dogs for long walks out, playing and taking care of them. I think of myself as a very responsible person and a great dog carer thanks to my previous experience and I would be more than happy to adapt to differents requirements and requests needed

“Olive was so happy to have spent time with Mohammed again. She was telling me how much fun they had playing and on their walk. Highly recommend using Mohammed for a drop in visit. He is very good at communicating and handles Olive very well.”
