Trusted Dog Sitting Near You
Hi there, I’m Florence, a vet student currently studying for my second degree and bringing years of experience to my bespoke pet sitting service, Perfect Companion Pet Sitting.
After working with agencies across London, I decided to create a service focused on flexibility, trust, and individual client needs. I care for all; dogs, cats, small furries, exotics, and even large animals. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
Happy to travel across London and work around your schedule. Please get in touch so we can discuss your pet’s needs!

How does dog sitting work?
Dog sitting is a personalised alternative to kennels, designed to keep your dog comfortable, safe, and stress-free in a familiar environment with dedicated 1-to-1 care. We will look after your dog in the comfort of your own home, and you will receive regular updates so you know your dog is in safe hands.
How do you dog sit overnight?
Overnight dog sitting means we stay in your home to care for your dog while you’re away. Here’s how it works:
- Meet and greet: Before the stay, we’ll go over your dog’s routine, personality, feeding, exercise needs, and any health concerns.
- Routine Care: We follow your dog’s normal routine: feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any medication if needed.
- Evening & Overnight: Your dog has someone there for company overnight, reducing anxiety and keeping them relaxed at home.
- Daily Updates: We’ll send you updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away.
- Respectful Stay: We always leave your home as we found it.
Overnight sitting offers peace of mind for you and your dog, especially if they don’t do well in kennels or are used to having company at night.

My dog can be aggressive - will this be a problem?
Yes, please let us know of any behavioural issues your dog has beforehand to ensure safety for us and the dog. Please note that we have the right to decline care for large, uncastrated male dogs.
What happens if there is an emergency?
If your pet requires emergency veterinary attention, every effort will be made to take them to your registered veterinary practice. If this is not possible (due to the time of day or distance), we have the right to take your pet to the nearest veterinary clinic.
How far in advance should I book for dog sitting?
As far in advance as possible, especially for busy periods such as school and Christmas holidays.
