“Had such a brilliant experience with Leanna - looked after my cat with such great care and shared so many lovely updates with us whilst we were away on holiday. We had total peace of mind :) thanks Leanna!”


“Roshni was able to drop in on our dog at short notice, and was incredibly accommodating with rearranging her plans. Great communication throughout and came home to a happy pooch!”


About: Hello my name is Szimonetta (preferably Luna), I'm 25 and from Hungary. I grew up with all kind of pets and now I am a proud mother of three cats. As a kid I always wanted to work with animals, take care of injured ones, become friends with them and give them all the love they deserve. Every pet has their own personality and style. I will adapt to exactly what your pet needs and want. If they want to get love they get love, if they want space they get space. My aim is to make your pet have a wonderful time, play a lot and to spoil them with all the attention and love they deserve. I am energetic, patient and flexible so if you need someone ASAP you can count on my service, even if it is in the last minute. I usually walk 1+ hours, it is all up to you so please feel free to let me know how long you would like me to walk them. I have trained dogs before simple tricks and helped multiple pets to accept the other. If there is anything extra you would like me to do just let me know. I will be keeping you updated all the time about what we are doing and send you loads of pictures so you will be able to relax and will always know what is your best friend up to.:) Just a quick FYI if you wanted me to have your pup over at mine at this moment *unfortunately as I recently moved out of mum’s home I don’t have my 3 fur babies with me* therefore there is no cat in the house. (If they moved in with me this message will be deleted) I am a recent graduate and while I am finding myself after university I have got plenty of time to look after some furry babies. :) I will ask you for any additional information that is needed for me and your bestie to have a great time together. We would either be playing games or cuddling up, either way they will be spoiled.

About: I'm a certified force-free dog trainer and behaviourist, qualified dog groomer and all round dog lover! I've been caring for dogs in my home for the past 3 years when not working with dogs professionally. I keep up-to-date with canine first aid for my work. My home has a small fenced garden and is close to forest walks and open park space. I use long lines to give your dog freedom and security on walks. I can add some training time in these walks if requested and agreed. I work with puppies, adolescent and senior dogs, understanding their developmental needs at these various life stages. I am particularly used to being with anxious dogs who require a little more space, reassurance and time to feel safe. I currently work part time so on my days off I can give 100% attention to your dog. I only care for one dog at a time, so your dog can easily keep to their schedule without upset. Your dog is allowed on the furniture and will be able to have access to all the house and garden. Whilst I do not use crates, I can follow your routine if a crate is made available. For puppies and dogs on stricter routines, I'm very flexible so can adapt to most schedules with ease and minimal disruption. I'll always allow for penty of calm time for your dog, with massage and belly rubs included!

“Is always worried letting someone you don’t know into your home, that said as soon as I meet Sophie that went out of the window! Sophie is not only trustworthy she is also very warm and caring towards the pet and its owner… I was away for 17 days and every single day Sophie sent me lovely messages and photos of my beloved pet cat Rio , he look so happy been petted by Sophie . Am so happy to have found her there is no doubt Sophie will be looking after Rio again and again I’ll give Sophie 6 ⭐️VERY CLEAN TRAY AREA 🙏”


“Sophie was excellent with our cat, Fig. She shared detailed updates and cute photos from each visit to keep us in the loop while we were away :). Going forward, we’ll definitely be asking her to come back!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and have a deep understanding of their needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have a calm, gentle nature — dogs tend to trust me quickly and feel comfortable around me. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and emotional needs, whether that means long walks, active playtime, or simply being a quiet, reassuring presence. I’m experienced with: • Senior dog care (mobility, medication, slower routines) • Poodle grooming needs and quirks • Feeding routines and special diets • Puppy patience and early training support • Managing shy, anxious, or sensitive dogs with extra care I treat every dog like family, with love, respect, and lots of belly rubs. Hi! I’m a freelance photographer with a deep love for animals. I work from home most of the time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care — whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming them into mine. At my place, pets will be in a cosy, quiet home where they’re free to relax and feel at ease. I have access to a securely fenced garden that’s shared with my neighbours — ideal for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and a bit of sniffing around. I always make sure it’s safe and quiet before bringing pets out. I also live near a beautiful forest, which is perfect for long, peaceful dog walks and exploring nature at a pace your dog enjoys. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean and respectful space, and make sure your pet sticks to their familiar routine. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone — I take that seriously, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s quiet cuddles, stimulating walks, or keeping shy pets company, I focus on creating a gentle, stable environment where they feel secure and loved.

“Theodora took excellent care of my cats, one of which is extremely sensitive and got lots of special care and consideration. Communication was excellent and I'd recommend to other cat owners.”


“Anna was extremely nice and flexible. Our cat was basically in love with her at the end of her mission. She is extremely trustworthy and we had no stress on our holidays thanks to her. I would be more than happy to book her again. She took lots of pictures everyday and she’s great at communicating.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for the last 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets and I’ve also dog sat for other families. I’m currently working 3/4 days a week at home so I have plenty of time to take care of a dog. I have a garden and also live near some lovely parks. I have a gated garden at the back off the property and I’m really close to the lovely Lloyd park. I live alone and have a cosy flat that your dog can make feel like home.

About: We have lovingly cared for our two toy poodles for over ten years. Rainbow and Sylvia have always been at the forefront of our lives. Rainbow recently passed away at the age of 15, leaving Sylvia in need of a new friend to spend time with during the day, both at home and on walks in the park. We welcome all types of dogs and provide a comfortable, caring environment for them to share with Sylvia. Your pet will receive full-time attention and enjoy regular park outings right at our doorstep. My partner and I have full-time jobs with flexible co-working arrangements that allow us to work from home. During the workweek, at least one of us will always be home to keep our toy poodle, Sylvia, company. With Lloyds Park right at our doorstep, Sylvia and any dog we care for will enjoy frequent visits to the park. When not out and about, they can relax and make themselves comfortable in our warm, inviting home. We have a first-floor flat with a small outdoor balcony. Living very close to Lloyds Park allows us to take dogs out for nice walks as many times as needed. Sylvia, our toy poodle, enjoys three walks a day in the park, and in between, she loves to relax on the couch or her giant dog bed..

About: From the moment I got my first puppy at the age of 10, I knew dogs would forever hold a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from puppies to older companions, and each one has left a lasting impact on my life. My first puppy grew up by my side, and six years later, I had the joy of helping her bring her own daughter into the world. I nurtured her from birth until she was 5, and though moving away was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, my love for her and her mother remains unwavering. Fate has a way of filling our lives with the love we need, and when I moved to London in 2019, I found a new companion waiting for me in my new home. Since then, we’ve been inseparable, forming a bond built on trust, care, and affection. Dogs are more than pets to me—they’re family. I approach every dog with patience, empathy, and genuine love, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply offering comfort when they need it most, I’m dedicated to treating each dog as if they were my own. I’m currently working part-time as a babysitter, which means spending time playing, engaging, and caring for others is what I love to do—whether they’re furry friends or not! My schedule allows me to dedicate time to your pets every weekday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., as well as all day on weekends. I’m committed to giving them the attention, care, and fun they deserve. Not only do I have a fenced yard where your furry friend can safely play, but I also have a loving dog who would be thrilled to have a playmate. On top of that, I live just a few meters away from a dog-friendly park, perfect for running, exploring, and socializing with other dogs.

“Sarah was so lovely, warm and very obviously adores dogs and has a lot of experience and I immediately felt at ease upon meeting her. Comms are excellent, she sent photo and video updates and asked all the right questions. Im really glad we met. Thank you Sarah x”


About: I had two family pets for the most part of my childhood, so i am very used to having dogs around me my grandmother also had two beautiful Dalmatians and we were all best friends during my childhood. However in terms of being the responsible parent, I have about 2 years I call her the family dog but shes really my dad's dog, and I look after her when he goes away or cant be in all day. shes a little cockapoo called Bella . She loves a ball and so walkies essentials are a ball , treatos, water and a willingness to play fetch for hours, I actually work completely remotely in my home which is a pet friendly building and a park close by . So if you need day sitting this can be possible I am happy to also either board at the dogs house or they can board with me . I will welcome all the advise from the owner meaning I would not upset the dog's routine and always ask the basics, allergies, behaviour patterns , favoroute toy ect . I live in a new built flat, that has a communal garden and a park near by , the building is very secure living on the 09th floor the only way to come and go is with a key fob. if dogs are inclined they may sleep in the bed always on hand for snuggles and playtime

About: As a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, I pride myself on providing personalised care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with animals of all temperaments, whether your pet is shy and gentle, highly energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I will adapt to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from playful one-year-olds to senior dogs needing special attention. I’ve cared for blind dogs and pets with allergies, so I understand how important it is to be attentive to their unique health and comfort needs. I’m also comfortable administering medication if required, and always approach each pet with calmness and care. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, from the playful and affectionate Bernese Mountain Dog, to the high-energy and alert nature of hunting dogs like Pointers and Greyhounds, to the sweet (and sometimes stubborn!) personalities of smaller breeds like Beagles and Cavalier Spaniels. Each one has taught me something new, and I genuinely love getting to know their quirks and routines. If your pet is staying overnight, I’ll make sure you feel connected and reassured with regular updates, photos, and videos. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’ve also worked as a sitter on other platforms and would be happy to provide references upon request. Caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s something I love. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the same level of care and affection I’d want for my own :) I work from home, so I’m very flexible and able to give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to host them at my home, where they’ll have a secure garden to enjoy and a calm space to relax in. If you’re away for a few days, I’ll follow their usual routine, including walk times, feeding, and any special needs, to keep things familiar and stress-free. You’ll also receive regular photo updates for peace of mind while you're away. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so they’ll have my full attention. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, and they’ll also have access to a secure fenced garden for play and fresh air.

About: Me and my partner Bart have taken care of dogs since getting our own puppy back in 2019 and regularly look after friends dogs during the day and over night. Your pup will be treated like a member of the family and our Cockapoo, Dexter, is very friendly, loves walks, playtime and spending time with other dogs. Me and my partner work from home so your dog can have a home from home with playtime and walks regularly through the day.... and plenty of cuddles! They can have toilet breaks when needed and our Cockapoo Dexter will be their best friend. You dog will have the freedom to roam around our home and sleep in any comfy spot they choose. They are allowed on sofas and beds, but we will happily respect your rules if your prefer them to sleep in a crate or not be on sofas. We can be flexible with care to ensure your pet feels confident and comfortable in our home by following their routine as much as possible.
