Where Dogs Feel Like Family ❤️
Serena and I are new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs 🐾. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. Back in Italy, With my family I cared for 2 dogs, 7 cats, chinchillas, parrots, and more. As a teenager I also worked in a pet shop, which gave me hands-on experience looking after animals of all kinds. Moving to the UK, I always felt something was missing. So Serena and I brought Kira, our Labrador, into our family. She was the runt of the litter, but she chose us, and since then we’ve never stopped giving love and care to dogs, taking care of her and friends and family puppies. To celebrate joining the community, we’ve set our rates a little lower than average. So you can enjoy a one-on-one care at a special introductory price while we grow our community of happy dogs and owners.

Superb as ever!
Morley and Darcy stayed over for 2 nights. They were well looked after and didn't want to come home they had that much fun. Received some photos and videos each day with a short update to how they were. Recommended Alberto 100%
Our two doggos absolutely loved their day with Alberto and Kira. They came home and slept all evening. I will definitely be using Alberto for our regular dog sitting. After initially feeling anxious about leaving the dogs with another person, we immediately felt reassured that these guys would take good care of our dogs as soon as we walked in their very welcoming and loving home. They both have a new best friend in Kira and a home away from home. Thank you guys. See you soon!! 💗
I recently left my dog Bruno with Alberto and Serena for two days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, they were incredibly helpful and went the extra mile to accommodate Bruno abd me. Bruno stayed with their lovely dog Kira, and they got along wonderfully. Alberto kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. Their home is welcoming, and it’s clear they truly care about dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitters. Thank you so much for making Bruno feel at home!
Superb. Highly recommend.
I found Alberto through Rover, I choose to connect with Alberto because of his experience at the Pet shop. It was our first time to leave our Rexo ( American Akita - 5 months old puppy) as we were going on vacation for a week. Alberto was great, he not only took care of Rexo, while we were on holidays, I was receiving daily updates with pics and videos. Alberto has a nice home with back garden and his own dog Kira is so well trained and friendly, I am so pleased that Rexo came back home well trained and he is now more calm and mature since he returned from Albertos home, all credit goes to Alberto for the care, love and training he gave to Rexo while we were away. Your pet is in safe hands with Alberto for sure ! I wish Alberto all the success. We will again connect with Alberto for our next vacation.

Schedule
We both make time every day to care for pets. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will always have company and supervision. Serena works hybrid and adds extra support, plus she is trained in Dog First Aid (Dog First Aid Sussex certification), giving owners even more peace of mind. Walks, play, and feeding naturally fit into our routine. When the weather allows, we go on two walks a day, and when it doesn’t, we make sure there’s plenty of indoor play and enrichment to keep tails wagging.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort come first. We live in a semi-detached house with a fully secure fenced garden for safe outdoor play. Inside, pets are part of the family. They are welcome on the sofa, bed, or in their own crate if you prefer. We only host one dog at a time to ensure they receive our full attention and plenty of love. Serena is trained in Dog First Aid (Dog First Aid Sussex certification). We always include a complimentary meet & greet at our home. This is the perfect chance to see our environment, meet Kira, and feel confident before your dog’s first stay. With indoor cameras for added reassurance, and regular photo/video updates, you’ll always know your pet is safe and happy. And with Kira as their friendly playmate, they’ll feel like they’ve found a second family.
Pets
A typical day
Your dog’s day with us is filled with care, structure, and fun but we always try to match your dogs routines. Mornings usually start with a long walk at Warley Woods, where dogs can explore and stretch their legs. If the weather permits, we enjoy two walks a day; if not, we keep things exciting indoors with enrichment games, puzzle feeders, and training exercises. Kira is always ready to be a sweet companion, whether for a game of chase in the garden or cuddles on the sofa. Evenings wind down with calm time and a cozy rest spot of their choice. You’ll also receive daily photos and videos so you can share in their adventures.
