Ally was fantastic — very reliable, caring, and incredibly precise with her updates throughout. It was really reassuring knowing Obama was in such good hands while we were away. Communication was excellent, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the cats she looks after. We would definitely book her again. Highly recommended!

Our cats loved Giovanna, she sent us lovely videos and we were surprised how much shy Hermione adored her! She played with them, fed and brushed them and we've returned to very happy cats, which is the biggest sign of a great cat sitter, we were in trouble last time we came home after using someone else! We'll definitely use her again and again

About: Hi, I’m Katy! Dogs have always been a big part of my life — I grew up surrounded by them and have loved helping care for the family pets from a young age. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs whenever they’ve needed an extra hand, whether that’s for walks, playtime, or cuddles at home. I’ve lived with Tibetan Terriers and Bichon Frises, so I’m confident with washing, grooming, and keeping pups looking (and feeling!) their best. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and training levels, from playful puppies to older companions, and I know how to command their attention and encourage good behavior in a kind and patient way. More recently, I’ve been involved in helping train my mum’s two new puppies, so I’m very familiar with the ups and downs of puppyhood — and I truly enjoy the process of helping them learn and grow. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the park, or some well-deserved belly rubs, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. Although I work full-time I work from home twice a week and am available throughout the weekend. For longer stays my office is also dog friendly so they'd be able to come with me to work and wouldn't have to stay at home alone. I'm active and enjoy walking which is always more fun when you have a dog to keep you company. I also have a car and would be more than happy to take them out to forests or beaches if your dog loves a longer walk! I live in a first floor flat with plenty of space for dog beds/crates, whatever your dog needs. I have a small fenced back garden accessed from the kitchen with a small lawn for your dog to explore. If I'm staying at your property I'll follow your and your pets usual routine and take them to all their favourite places.

Patrick was amazing looking after my cat Sox whilst I was away. He was very punctual, reliable and diligent. I felt Sox was in good hands and he certainly was. Patrick also communicated with me daily, sending daily pics for my ease. Highly recommend.

About: My experience with pet care started years ago by spending time with friends’ dogs of all shapes and sizes. Since this spring (as I started working remotely), I’ve been dog sitting in London more regularly, which has given me the chance to spend meaningful time with different breeds (but mostly Cockapoos), personalities, and energy levels. I currently work from home 99.99% of the time, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs I care for. I am based in Walthamstow and there are a few nice parks around where I can bring your pup for a walk. For long stays, I am happy to go for 2-3 walks a day (morning, afternoon and evening). In terms of feeding, I would follow your instructions. Your pet will never be left alone - I’m always nearby to give them attention and care. I live in a three-room flat. We’re also lucky to have several lovely parks close by, perfect for daily walks and fresh-air adventures. I’ll happily keep you updated with photos as often as you’d like, and if I’m ever uncertain about anything, I’ll check in with you right away to make sure your pup’s routine and comfort are always prioritized.

About: As I live alone I often find myself having spare time and would love the company so in a way you’ll be doing me the favour 😊 I’ve looked after all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to cats and dogs. My grandparents always had dogs which I grew up with and have looked after family and friends furry pals too! I’m working from home 2/3 times a week as a designer in ad sales so I’m not in back to back meetings and am able to take breaks as and when needed. I often go to Epping forest at the weekends as it’s only a short trip away! I’m not a big party animal so welcome the company when I can 😊 I welcome clear instructions as to how you want me to look after your loved ones. I always want to make sure they have the best experience and are safe. My flat has a communal outdoor space around it and it’s very secure once you’re in the building you can only be buzzed up. I treat my home with love and care, the same rules apply for anyone else’s

About: After completing my Animal Management Level 3 Qualification at BCA College, I have taken my experience and used it for the better! I am currently unemployed, and have taken up dog walking/sitting as my own independent business. I have 2 years of experience in Animal Behaviour Management and Animal Welfare — I have had two dogs within my lifetime, to which have sadly passed away. I am enthusiastic, loving, fun and reliable, and will definitely take care of your furry friend! As I am currently unemployed, pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I treat it as a top priority. I plan my days around consistent walking and feeding times, ensuring I am always punctual and dependable. Whether it's a midday walk or an evening check-in, I keep a highly organized schedule so I can give every dog my full, unhurried attention while keeping you updated along the way. Unfortunately, I am not able to take any pets into my own home due to the fact that I have one dog and two cats.

About: We’re a dog-loving couple based in Walthamstow, excited to start walking and dog sitting for some local pups! While we’re new to the platform, we bring over 5 years of experience caring for dogs through regular dog sitting for friends and family. We’re confident in looking after dogs of different breeds with a wide range of needs and personalities, from puppies to older dogs. We are both young professionals who work from home, which means your dog will get lots of love, plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. We’re also close to Leyton flats so can take your dog out for extended walks there. We understand that your dog is family and will take the time to understand their routine and preferences. At least one of us works from home at all times so your dog will always get attention and company all day. We work regular hours so will have time for morning, lunch time and evening walks so can adjust based on the amount of exercise your dog needs. On weekends we like being outside so can take your dog on longer walks if this fits their routine. We live in a house on a quiet road with a fenced garden. There’s lots of space so happy to host bigger dogs. We’re near Leyton flats so plenty of outdoor space for longer walks and exercise.

About: We’re Khush and Triv, originally from New Delhi, India, and now living in London. We’re both lifelong dog lovers—Khush grew up with his black Labrador, Bruce, and Triv spent her childhood caring for the local street dogs in her neighbourhood. Even today, whenever we go back home, we still look after the street dogs in Delhi, whether it’s feeding them, giving them cuddles, or just making sure they’re safe. Khush works a 9 to 5 in travel & Triv is a PhD student researching women in sports and also works part-time, but together we give all the time, care, and affection your dogs need. Our hearts are always with our own baby, Joey, whom Khush rescued from a busy street near his office—he’s a huge part of our lives and the reason we love offering care to other dogs too. Here’s the lowdown: Khush works a 9 to 5, Meanwhile, Triv’s a PhD student with a part-time job and a flexible schedule — so with a little notice, we can usually make weekday care work too. Think of us as your dependable (and dog-obsessed) weekend and flexible weekday caretakers! With us, your dogs get all the homey pampering, endless playtime, and plenty of love. It’s all about making your pup’s day awesome! 🐾🐕😊 We’re big believers in safety, trust, and creating a calm, loving environment for every dog we care for. This isn’t just a job for us — we genuinely enjoy it and take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality so they feel safe and loved. We’re very respectful of other people’s homes and always follow instructions carefully, maintain cleanliness, and keep your dog’s familiar routine. Your trust means a lot, and we treat every animal like family. When dogs stay with us, we know it’s a new environment, so we give them plenty of time to settle in, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace. We also make sure they get regular outdoor breaks — usually every 2 hours for a pee or poo. And yes… dogs are welcome on our furniture! We love cuddles on the sofa or bed if that’s what they’re used to. Our home is cosy, warm, and totally dog-friendly — a place where pups can relax, play, and feel right at home. Our goal is simple: a safe, playful, and comforting space where your dog feels secure and happy.

Very responsive and communicative, follow every instruction to the letter, and was accommodating and understanding when I left the key in the wrong place!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe hands. In my early twenties I worked as a dog walker’s assistant for a couple of years, helping care for and exercise dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I regularly spend time with friends’ and family’s dogs and love being around animals. I’m confident with energetic dogs, happy to follow any routines or training requirements, and will always treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I have a lot of free time at the moment, especially in the day time during the week so can fit it walks and sitting in very seamlessly I live in a one bedroom flat, it’s very homely. There is green spaces out back although not fenced off. But it’s very nice for lead walks

Kate looked after our cat Mikey, visiting twice a day and we couldn’t be happier. She happily met us before we even booked her so that we could make sure she was the right fit for both us and Mikey. Mikey can be shy but she played with him and earned his trust very quickly. And she also shared lots of lovely photos with us each visit. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.
