Active fun for your furry friend(s)

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Elissa, a pet/plant/house sitter based in lovely Lewes. If you're looking for a trustworthy and experienced pet sitter for your cats or dogs (or rabbits!) then you've come to the right place. I’m DBS certified and have insurance. I've left my corporate job to do this full time so as to be outside as much possible and enjoy the beautiful area I live in. I volunteer with Neptunes Pirates (formerly Sea Shepherd) so leave on anti-whaling campaign once or twice a year. (I can't care for whales at home so sometimes have to go to them!) I offer a range of services including house sitting, overnight care, drop-ins and daycare. Whether you're going on a short trip or need someone to look after your furry friend while you're at work, I am here to provide the love and care your pet deserves. I've been house/pet sitting for years so any questions, please just ask :)

Really good to have Elissa on board as a dog sitter. Zara was very happy and very easy to organise with Elissa, who sent some lovely photos over.
