Who We Are

Established in 2013, we are an independent, fully insured and professional pet care business covering Chelsea & South Kensington in central London, offering pet sitting in your own home, solo dog walking, cat feeding & rabbit care. All our walkers/sitters are DBS/CRB security checked.

We’re a small, friendly and dedicated team of dog & cat lovers (and owners) with several years of pet care experience between us. We only walk one owners’ dog(s) at a time so that we can give your dog(s) our undivided attention at all times. Dogs are picked up/dropped off on foot (we don’t use transport).

We are now in our 11th year in the pet care business and have looked after most breeds of dogs from the tiny Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers to the giant breeds of Newfoundland & Leonberger. Our cat community have included breeds such as Ragdoll, Siberian, Bengal, and the British Blue (and of course, plenty of equally loveable moggies!)

We pride ourselves on being able to offer a reliable and friendly service for busy pet owners that is tailor-made to suit your needs.  Our aim, wherever possible, is to provide the same walker/sitter each time to enable you and your beloved pet to build up a lasting bond with our walker/sitter. We look after your pets in your own home so that they feel comfortable at all times and their routine is not disrupted.

We are passionate about what we do and as you will see from our testimonials below, we are highly rated by our happy clients!

Services We Offer

Solo Dog Walking

Dogs are social animals and need daily mental and physical stimulation to help alleviate boredom – something that can often lead to destructive behaviour. We know that some dogs are not happy walking with other dogs, for all kinds of reasons, which is why we offer a dedicated solo dog walking service. This allows us to concentrate on giving your dog our undivided attention at all times. Don’t worry, they will still have plenty of opportunities to meet other dogs during their walk should they wish to do so, whether that is in a park or around the pavements.

If you have an elderly dog, puppy or a dog who isn’t up to walking far, we offer a bespoke service which can involve a short walk then, if needed, we can spend time just providing company for your dog in your home.

We collect your dogs on foot from your home or office.  Walks are varied and include; Hyde Park & Battersea Park (depending on which is nearer to your home or office). Alternatively, if you prefer, we can walk your dog on the pavements around your area.

Once we get to know your dog, with your permission and signed authorisation, we can let them off the leash when we are in the park. Until that time, we have the opportunity of using a 10 metre training lead which gives your dog more freedom.  We’re happy to send photos of our adventures if you require!

 We understand that all dogs have different energy levels, they may be just starting out in life or maybe reaching their golden years – we aim to provide them with whatever their needs might be.

Pet Sitting

We look after your pet in your own home, whether you just need time to go shopping or you have an overnight trip planned or that well deserved holiday! You can book anytime from 2 hours upwards (the longest sit so far has been 3 months!)  Your pet’s routine is not disturbed and therefore they are less stressed.  We can never take your place but our aim is to be second best!

For the longer bookings we move in to your home (suitcase and all!) and care for your pet as you do.

  • Free initial consultation with no obligation to proceed

  • Dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours during the day (for dogs with separation anxiety and puppies, this can be reduced and discussed at the initial consultation)

  • Dogs are never left alone overnight

Cat & Rabbit Feeding

We can visit your home to feed your cat/rabbit, making sure they have fresh water, change the litter tray/bedding and provide lots of play and cuddles and, if required, light grooming.  

We can also pick up your post, water plants, open/close curtains and turn lights on/off for security purposes. 

If you prefer, we can move in to your home to stay with your cat/rabbits too.

Whilst you are away, we can send photos and keep you updated by text, WhatsApp or email, letting you know how your pet is getting on.
