Pet Sitting Waltham Forest

About: This is Lorena and Flavius! We are a millennial couple that work from home most days and are parents to a sweet, friendly Cockapoo. I’m a lifelong pet owner who grew up with a medium-sized Yorkie and a cat. Our Yorkie had a daughter that lived with my relatives and I also regularly cared for her. When I moved to London I didn’t want to have a pet of my own as I was still a student, so instead I started looking after friends’ pets whenever they went on holiday. After a few years my partner and I have finally brought a dog home, although we still enjoy caring for other furry friends! As pet owners, my partner and I understand well how important it is to have someone you can trust to look after your fur baby, so we are happy to make adjustments to make sure your pup has a safe, relaxed and happy time with us. Our pet, Amber, is an extremely friendly dog who has been socialised since she was very young and fully enjoys the company of other dogs. If your dog enjoys having a furry friend to play, this is the right place for you! Our flat is located right next to a dog park and we live close to a few big green areas in Walthamstow, so we’ll ensure your pet has plenty of walks and outdoor playtime. We are also a pet loving household, so we enjoy snuggling in bed and giving lots of cuddles throughout the day. If you think we’re a good fit for your pup feel free to get in touch - we’re happy to answer any questions! My partner and I work remotely most of the week. Because we have a dog of our own, there will always be someone at home to look after your pup. We walk and feed our dog three times a day, so caring for your pet will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. At home, dogs are welcome on the bed, rugs and couch. Whilst your fur baby is with us, we will provide constant supervision and attention to their every need. We are happy to observe rules and commands that are followed at your own home. Once with us, we will have regular walks in a trusted dog park. We will clean your pets’ paws after every walk and make sure we provide all care instructions (e.g., hair and teeth brushing as needed).

About: Ever since growing up with my own golden retriever (Ellie), I've known that I always need to be in close proximity to a pet. More recently, I raised my parents' puppy during the pandemic and often dog sit for them. My flatmate also brought a cat into our London flat that I have helped to look after for the past two years so I have experience with both dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I have taken instruction well on how best to interact with others' pets (e.g., don't get them too excited, they need play time to feel comfortable with you) and always exercise patience. I wfh 4/5 weekdays and go into the office every Wednesday. The times I go into the office can be flexible as I don't have set times, and I am only 30 minutes away in case of emergencies. I'll spend a weekend with my parents' dog in the Midlands once a month, but then I'm in London for the rest of the time. It can be anxiety-inducing to trust a stranger with not only your pet, but your home. I promise to be understanding of your pet's needs, but also your needs. Whether that's needing regular updates or for things to be done a particular way, I will do my best to keep your space and routine as normal as possible.

“Giovanna has been brilliant taking care of our cats, with clear communication and regular updates, it really made us feel at ease going away!”

“Marija looked after my kitten Noon for a long weekend. She was super flexible even with multiple bookings, and made sure he was fed and played with. Noon loves her, and even with his kitten scratches she is so easygoing and understands kitten behaviour and playfulness. I recommend Marija to anyone who needs help with their Kitten/cat 😀”

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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved them. My family dog was a Springer Spaniel called Pip, who we had from a puppy until he was 16. I helped look after him when he got very old, so I know how important it is to give dogs lots of care, patience and attention. We’ve also had German Pointers as a family, and I regularly look after my friends’ Cocker Spaniel and Cavapoo. I’m very friendly, caring and love spending time with dogs. I understand that looking after someone’s pet is a big responsibility and that you need to be able to trust the person looking after them. I take their safety and happiness seriously and would treat your dog as if they were my own. I’ll make sure to keep you updated while your dog is with me so you can feel reassured. I’d love to spend time with your dog, whether that’s going for walks, playing or just having a cuddle on the sofa! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I’m able to offer weekend boarding as well as drop-ins. I can also be flexible with timings and will always make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and care. I live in a spacious one bedroom flat which is clean, comfortable and dog friendly. I’d make sure your dog feels safe and settled in my home, with plenty of attention, cuddles and regular walks

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.

“Great experience! This was the first time leaving our cat Dolores at home for a long weekend, and we booked Patrick for drop ins to take care of her. He didn’t disappoint! Communication was amazing and I highly recommend him to take care of your pets! He was super attentive, lovely and great with her! We came back home to a very happy girl. Thank you so much again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and took care of them. I all have experience looking after dogs and cats for my neighbours whilst they are away. I love all animals and would enjoy looking after your pet. I currently work from home 2 days a week, on a flexible basis. I am available evenings after 5:30 and weekends. I would be happy to look after your pet in anyway that suits you, whether that’s walking, drop ins or boarding. I have a fenced garden with no other pets of my own currently. I live in a ground floor flat with my partner with many green spaces a short walk away.

“Margaret looked after my cat while I was away. She was very attentive and I can tell she is a real animal lover! My cat was in very safe hands, thank you Margaret.”

Isabella K.

“Josefin was brilliant. Communicating with her was super easy, she was punctual and sent us very thorough updates. More importantly, she made our cat feel comfortable, kept his routine consistent, and gained his trust. This gave us so much peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our holiday fully. Thank you Josefin!”

“Rebecca is a wonderful kitty sitter. It was our first time and I was genuinely nervous. We got updates and photos practically at a similar time daily, which was so good to see and kept us peaceful that our boy was doing well. So grateful, thank you Rebecca! 😍”

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: I have a small dog and I grow up with dogs. I know how to them care for them: from hyper to nervous dogs. I love looking after them and I am happy to also sit in my house I work from home so I can pick up the dogs in the morning or talks them out for a walk when needed. I just need to plan my day in advance. I can have dogs at mine for the whole day as well. I have a fenced garden. My little dog loves the company of other dogs. I works from home so I am flexible with walks. I can pick up the dogs and drop them off.

About: I am a huge dog lover and have had my family whippet Roger for over 10 years (sadly don’t live with my family anymore so miss him) so feel very comfortable spending time with dogs. I love every breed but specialise in whippets / sighthounds or small to medium size dogs! I work part time so have plenty of time to look after and walk dogs! I love a long walk or play time so this would be great for me as much as the pup! I have a fenced garden and also live near a few parks so have plenty of areas for them to be outside as well as room inside for them to roam about so it wouldn’t feel claustrophobic!

“Absolute 5 star sitter!! I needed last minute cover for someone to walk and feed my little dog and Eleanor was amazing. Very responsive and communicative, follow every instruction to the letter, and was accommodating and understanding when I left the key in the wrong place! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter. Can’t wait to book again soon!”

Cassandra M.

“Liv is a lovely sitter who has shown genuine care for my little puppy since the very first time meeting. It’s so re-assuring knowing that my dog will be looked after with great care and enthusiasm when I can’t be with her, and I get loads of updates from the time they spend together which is really nice.”

Beatrice D.

“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!”

About: I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule and have recently moved to E17. I’m available for regular or ad hoc dog walking in the area, as well as boarding. I sadly said goodbye to my much-loved dog, a high-energy corgi raised from eight weeks, about a year ago, and I hope to welcome another dog into my life in the future. Until then, I’m really looking forward to meeting some new local furry friends. My partner is also a dog lover and helps with any boarding duties. We live in a spacious two-bedroom flat in a dog-friendly building with no other pets. We’ve previously cared for several neighbours’ dogs, including longer stays of up to a week. I’m a friendly Canadian who would love to balance my work in front of a laptop with plenty of walks in the park. I can easily fit in walking and minding duties around my remote freelancing schedule. I mostly work from home with occasional meetings on site. We love getting outside and spending time in local pubs and taprooms, so we're happy to bring a dog along with us (but equally as happy to leave them at home if they're not comfortable in those environments). We have Lloyd Park nearby for leisurely walks, or some fetch. We live in a ground floor Warner flat with a spare room, perfect for a dog that needs a bit of space for their bed or to be crated.

About: I’ve always lived with multiple dogs and cared for many pets. Now living in London I finally have a dog of my own and he’s incredibly friendly and sociable and would love to have regular pals on walks and play dates. I work from home 3 days a week and my pup Comet gets 2 longer or 3 shorter walks a day locally (except in extreme lunch time heat) and at the weekends we stretch out further! I am happy to follow any instructions you set for your own home when dropping in on your cat/dog or collecting your dogs for walks.
