Dog walking & sitting with Gerald, Jess & Harry

Flexible dog sitting with Gerald, Jess (and Harry). We have lots of experience caring for dogs and can provide walks, sitting and day care in our home or yours! We both work remotely and are on flexible schedules, so we are available throughout the week and at the weekends. Harry is a sociable dog who loves a bit of company, but we are also able to keep her separate if needs be. We are based in St Leonards and can cover the whole area. We have a big campervan, so we can do collection and drop off and get to various areas nearby easily. We live on the seafront, but we are out every few hours for walks. We have both grown up with dogs as part of the family and have done many years dogsitting in Yorkshire, Staffordshire and now Sussex. We are used to challenging dogs as Harry was quite a handful as a pup and can be quite the escape artist! We are very cautious and patient, especially as it can be tough being away from home! We know how hard it can be to leave your pup with us so we are more than happy to send photos and regular updates to keep your mind at ease. We are experienced in administering medications, are registered with the local vets and have our own vehicle in case of emergencies. Please get in touch if you have any questions! Gerald, Jess and Harry

Dog Walking • Apr 02, 2026

Balou has been so well looked after. Can't reccomend Jess and Gerald enough. It's so lovely to see him happy and relaxed in his home from home.

Doggy Day Care • May 14, 2021

These guys were brilliant with our dog. Really went out of their way to help our dog get settled, met beforehand to check the dogs got on, and walked to the house together too on the day again to help our dog settle. Definitely recommend them :)

Our dog Dudesson hasn't stop talking about his time at Gerald's for what sounds like a mutual love-in! Nice, caring couple. Rx
