“Excellent service from Leanne and Kane. Both were very warm and I felt reassured they would take good care of our cats. They were interested in their different personalities and and what each cat liked. Really good communication whilst we were away with daily updates with lots of photos. Would strongly recommend and would use them again”

About: I have experience with dogs who are anxious and resource guard so I know how to handle them in the safest way for both of us. I’ve also had two puppies personally that I have looked after and contributed to training so am well versed in younger dogs too. I’m an artist who works from home with occasional work days out so I can fit looking after your pets around my schedule, therefore I am available all week :) I can adapt pet sitting to whatever suits your needs, whether that’s taking them for walks, playing with them or simply checking in and giving them company.

“Tori was great and made a fuss of our cat James during her visits, while we were away on holiday. Great communication, both prior to the cat sitting, and during. Would highly recommend for all cat sitting needs.”

About: We have both had small and medium sized dogs growing up, including both senior and puppies needing training. We absolutely love looking after our friends dogs. Since we work full-time, we don't have a dog of our own yet—which means when we’re with your pet, they get 100% of our undivided attention, energy, and affection. We both work full-time, so will always make sure our available time is when we are home, giving your pet 100% of our attention when required. We have a fenced 90ft garden so lots of space to run and play fetch. We don't have any pets in our home so if your animal is a little nervous with other animals that's nothing to worry about.

About: Hi, I’m Jessica For owners wanting regular updates, lots of attention, and a sitter who truly cares, you’ve found her! I’m a London-based dog sitter, and working with dogs is my main career focus, not just something I do on the side. Because of that, I’m able to give the dogs I care for lots of time, attention, and company throughout the day. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities through professional pet sitting and volunteer work with Dogs Trust, and I genuinely love getting to know every dog I look after and all their little quirks. I always try to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and relaxed while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind Free meet and greets are always available beforehand too! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I study remotely, so I’m home most of the time and able to give dogs lots of attention and company throughout the day. Working with dogs is also my main career focus, not just a side hobby, and alongside pet sitting I’m studying canine care and behaviour as I build my future working with animals long term I always aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I find that meeting you and your dog beforehand really helps everyone feel more relaxed and comfortable before the booking. I carefully follow all routines and instructions, including feeding, medication, walks, and any behavioural or care needs your dog may have. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality so they feel secure, settled, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, and I’m always only a message away if you’d like to check in
About: I grew up with German Shepherds in my childhood home and have owned dogs throughout my adult life, most recently a French Bulldog. I also have a cat, giving me experience caring for both dogs and cats and understanding that every pet has different needs, personalities and routines. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I understand the importance of providing pets with care, attention and a safe, loving environment while they are away from their owners. My availability varies, but I will always keep my calendar updated. I can offer flexibility around drop-in visits and pet care, and I understand how important reliability and communication are when trusting someone with your pets. Please feel free to message me to discuss your needs and I’ll always do my best to accommodate where possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing will always be my priority. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, so I will always treat them with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, walk schedules and any specific instructions to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent. I believe good communication is important and will always keep owners updated for extra peace of mind.
“Moomin was hospitalised 3 days before my holiday and I was very worried about his recovery and/or if he will be stressed with me leaving so soon after his scary experience at the vets, but Isabel has been great at making Moomin feel at ease during my absence and updating me with how he is doing. I am glad to see how relaxed he's been after the sit.”

“I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in Sara's care. Regular updates, great communication, and I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a spotless home. You can tell they genuinely care. Would 100% recommend!”
“I am so happy I found April. She looked after my beagle Pyppa with so much care and kindness. My dog is not easy (older and a bit anxious), but April was very patient and understanding. I felt at ease knowing Pyppa was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


About: I've always loved dogs and have hands-on experience caring for two French Bulldogs. Although they have now are back home to my family, caring for them taught me a lot about daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and love they need. I'm reliable, patient, and currently have a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of care and companionship for your pet. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I live in a pet-friendly area with great places for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors. Your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. I am home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their routine.

About: Since a child I’ve had all kind of pets from fishes, hamsters, birds and rabbits to raising kittens and a puppy. I’ve also had the pleasure of helping out friends and family. There weren’t many years where I did not have an animal in my life!! I am currently working full time, however weekends at anytime and any work day after 5pm I’m capable of pet care, though I can make adjustments if needed as I work from home. As I will be doing mostly walks and sitting at owners home I will ask how your fur baby likes their company and how to best create safety for them.
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through dog sitting for friends’ dogs overnight, ensuring they’re fed, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’ve also looked after neighbors’ cats, taking responsibility for their feeding and well-being. Additionally, I have experience training my own puppy, which gave me valuable insight into animal behavior and the patience needed to nurture a well-behaved pet. Although my puppy is no longer with us, the skills and love I developed through that experience continue to guide my care for every dog I look after. At 20 years old and full of energy, dog sitting and walking perfectly fit into my cabin crew lifestyle. I usually have 3-4 days off between trips, which gives me the perfect chance to care for your furry friends! After long flights and hectic schedules, spending time with dogs gives me a refreshing boost and helps me stay active. It’s the perfect way to balance my adventurous job with some furry fun and exercise! I care for pets either in my home or in their owner’s home with great attention and respect. When pets stay with me, I create a safe, comfortable space and follow their usual routines for feeding, walking, and play to keep them happy and secure. If I’m caring for them in their own home, I make sure to respect the owner’s space and rules, maintain their daily schedule exactly, and keep the home clean and secure. I also have a big garden where they can run and play freely, giving them plenty of space to burn off energy. I also keep owners updated regularly including pictures and videos so they feel confident their pets are loved and well looked after
About: I have had puppies and kittens all my adult life so am very experienced in what care they require and how special they are to each of their owners and how important it is to find someone you totally trust with your babies. I am a midday assistant in a school so I work between 11.45-1.15 term time only so I have plenty of spare time to help look after your beloved animals I have 2 cats who both have different needs my normal cat(Tilly) is 16 and just likes a little fuss when she decides to my sphinx cat (Winnie) requires lots of love and attention she loves to interact whether that’s cuddles or playing
About: I have owned dogs for 10 years and have started my own dog walking, sitting and pop-in visit services company- ‘About with Amie’. I also work as a palliative care nurse part time. I work as a palliative care nurse alongside my dog walking and sitting business. I cover the Havering area. My shifts and availability vary but I aim to be as accommodating as possible. I offer daytime and overnight sitting in owners houses. I like to ensure the animal/s are safe, comfortable and settled in their own surroundings. I am trust worthy and reliable.
About: I've been around dogs as long as I can remember. I cared for my Frenchie from a puppy until a senior, as well as taking in other people's pets whilst they are away or aren't able to care for them. As a very active person, I love to go for long runs and adventures through forests or parks but am just as happy caring and hanging out with them when they need it. I have been pet sitting for years, however I began working with other people's pets as a part time job (I'm a professional dancer!) in 2022. Since then, I absolutely love it! I am a professional dancer and pet-sitting is my side job since I lost my beautiful dog of 12 years in 2022. I am quite available however I do leave the country occasionally to tour (this is always updated in my calendar in advance). My brother, who used to work in dog shelters in Bulgaria, is often available to cover me incase of ill-health, injury or unforseen circumstances. I have a fenced garden and a doggy door that gives pets free range to use the outdoor/indoors as they please. This can also be locked if necessary. I do have two cats who grew up with my dog for 5 years and got along with her very well. One of them is mainly outdoors, and the other is usually wherever people are. There are many beautiful parks in this area too that are safe for dogs and I regularly walk dogs around.
About: We’ve recently moved to the area but don't have pets with us yet and miss their company! In our family home, we have three rescue cats (one three-legged) and two rescue rabbits. Between us we have previously owned dogs of various breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and hamsters We have a genuine love of animals and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a calm presence, we always treat pets as part of the family. With over 15 years’ experience, we regularly pet sit for family and through TrustedHousesitters, looking after cats and dogs in their owners’ homes (see reviews in photos). We’re confident handling nervous rescues and pets with health issues, experienced in administering medication, and passionate about giving animals a safe, trusted, and loving environment. Please drop us a message if you have any questions. Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule. I prioritise safety, trust, comfort, wellbeing, and happiness. Prefer caring for pets in their owner’s home due to space, but happy to adapt if needed.

Georgina is brilliant. Reliable and conscientious and the cats loved her. She is totally engaged in looking after her charges and goes the extra mile to provide a fantastic service. We will be using her services again and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone who needs someone to look after their 'children' whilst they are away. Thank you Georgina.

Hannah recently looked after our cat, Bear, while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hannah was friendly, professional, and incredibly reliable. She went above and beyond during the heatwave by checking in on Bear even when she didn’t need to, which showed just how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Every day we received updates and lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to fully relax while we were away. It was clear that Bear was in the safest and most caring hands. Hannah is absolutely wonderful, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Hannah!
Ria is an amazing cat sitter! She looked after our cat, Lucky, who is very shy and afraid of strangers. Ria was incredibly patient, respectful of his boundaries, and gentle with him. She kept us updated throughout the week with videos and messages. It was such a relief to know our cat was in safe and caring hands. We will definitely use her services again! I highly recommend Ria to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter! Thank you so much!

I have never left my fur babies before with anyone apart from family. To put into context I have a four cats all with their own personalities and needs. I could not recommend Tori enough. She clearly loves animals and cares for them like her own. My cats are normally quite anxious with new faces but they have completely taken to Tori and I can tell how at ease they were with her being around especially given their parents were away. It’s has been so reassuring to know they have been in such safe hands this whole time. Thank you Tori!!!

Dora is warm and super professional – you can tell straight away she knows what she’s doing and has lots of experience. My cat Luna usually only rolls around on the carpet for me (it’s her little way of showing trust), and I’ve never seen her do that with someone new before! But she warmed up to Dora almost instantly – a true cat whisperer. I’m so happy with the care Dora gave, and she was really flexible with my plans too. Highly recommend!
