Highlights
Pet care experience
Home from home in Sussex
We are an active professional couple in our 60’s who have retired early. Before we retired I was a management accountant & my partner Chris was a Design Engineer. Our interests include Kayaking, Cycling, Walking & Photography to name a few along with DIY & Gardening. We also love nature & animals & have owned several dogs, cats & other animals over the years. We have been looking after peoples homes, pets and other animals now for over 8 years with over 100 5 star reviews and have loved every minute of it. Our house sits have ranged from looking after a smallholding with alpaca's, rare breed goats, sheep, chickens and dogs, to just a single cat. The properties we have maintained have ranged from 7 bedroom villas in France with pools and landscaped gardens to 2 bedroom bungalows in Sussex. Now we can offer this service from our own home and have looked after several dogs in our home for friends and past house sitters. We are very practical and "Hands on" so can deal with most eventualities. We have a lot of experience in looking after & caring for dogs cats & other animals having owned several ourselves over the years as well as looking after other peoples. We also have experience of having our own house looked after by house sitters so understand what is like to go away & entrust your home and especially your beloved pets to someone else. We are honest & very respectful of other people’s houses & property and privacy. Lastly but by no means the least is that we absolutely love animals so if we have to look after yours you can be assured they will be in very good hands & probably spoiled rotten.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lynn & Chris were great dog sitters, our dog Lana loved them and their large garden. Good communication and very friendly. Highly recommend.
Lynn and Chris have lots of experience . Max stayed overnight and was very happy when we collected him . The communication was great . We couldn't ask for more !
Perfect! Cosmo had a lovely time with Lynn and Chris! As a first time Rover user (and I’ve never left my pup with anyone but friends or family), we were a little nervous, but Lynn and Chris were SO helpful meeting us a few weeks before to go through things, and putting us completely at ease. Once we saw them with Cosmo, we knew he’d be very happy in their care. They’re wonderfully calm and clearly ‘dog people’. Thanks again guys, and see you in March!
Lynne and Chris were wonderful dog sitters. Friendly, communicative, caring. Regina had a great time, and came back exhausted from all the play. Highly recommended, and i'm sure Regina would love to stay there again.
Lynn looked after our dog Winston whilst we got married and everything was perfect. Winston seemed to love it and I was very comfortable leaving our pride and joy with Lynn. Lynn sent us regular updates and obviously loves dog herself. Perfect
Lynn and Chris were fantastic, Bella clearly felt very comfortable with them during her stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, alongside the great communication.

Schedule
Chris does not work and I only work casually as an invigilator so your pets would get our undivided attention. We are keen walkers so you can rest assured your dog would get the exercise they require.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a very safe and secure garden in a quiet area of Worthing. There will be no other pets in the property. We can accommodate crated or uncrated animals and can have animals in the bedroom although not on the bed.
A typical day
We like to stick to a dogs normal routine as much as possible as dogs love routine but we love walking so your dogs will have lovely countryside/beach walks to look forward to. A typical day would be breakfast and then a walk from anything from an hour to all day dependent on the requirements but there could also be a lot of ball chasing, toy throwing involved. Then home for a well earned rest before tea time and an evening stroll to the local park. Just before bed a quick visit to the garden for a toilet break before being tucked in for the night.
