Cat Sitting Sussex

About: • I’ve had and cared for dogs my entire life (~25 years of experience) and cats for the past 10 years • Comfortable with all breeds and ages • Previous dog-walker for an animal shelter • 2 years experience as a veterinary assistant • Specialty: caring for high energy dogs / working breeds (ex: shepherds, malinois, and my own doberman!) • Other skills: animal behavior recognition, training, general first aid, senior and puppy pet care, medication administration/management I currently work part-time, so i have plenty of availability throughout the week, though my work schedule is different each week. Just let me know when you’d like help and we can work together to find what works! I am available for drop-ins. I am NOT available for overnight stays. I understand it can be a weird feeling having a new person come into your home (especially for your pet)! As a guest in your home, I am respectful and patient as your pet gets comfortable with me. I try my best to follow your pets lead, while also being a leader for them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in other people’s homes many times and prioritize the safety of their home. For example, making sure it’s locked up and left how I found it when i leave, making sure the collars and leashes are secure before walks, and ensuring pets don’t escape when i open the door haha!

“Miranda is great! She is reliable, on time, replies quickly and communicates well in detail. She recently did a drop-in check for our pup; we were so pleased to see pictures of a very happy dog enjoying her playtime with Miranda! We highly recommend Miranda and will be booking her again soon!”

“Mackenzie was great! She did a stop in visit to feed my three cats and went above and beyond. Not only did she send plenty of photos, she also took a quick look at the litter boxes. Would go with again!”

About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.

“Paul did a wonderful job again caring for our two dogs while we were away. He promptly arrived at the scheduled times, gave them a lot of attention, and kept us updated with notes and cute pictures. It was great to know our dogs were being well cared for!”

“Allison did a great job once again taking care of our pups while we spent a quick weekend away for the holidays. She is always communicative and ensures our dogs get the activity and attention they need. Also sends great photos of the time she has with them!”

John C.

“Jessica was amazing!! Our crew loved hanging out with her! She sent pics with every drop in and was very attentive to the group! Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and we will be booking with her again!”

About: I have taken care of friends and family’s pets for years and have experience with senior cats and dogs. Recently I have been cat and dogging sitting for my friends more frequently while also taking care of my own cats. I am available all weekdays and rotating weekends! I pretty much have open availability and flexibility for whenever you need your little ones watched or cared for. My home is not available for pet sitting but I am available for house/pet sitting at clients homes. I can play with, cuddle, feed and provide medications for your pets in your home.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.

“This is our second time with Madeline and we couldn’t be happier. She’s so good with Niya. I’m still flabbergasted that she gets her to go outside and actually use the bathroom. It’s such a relief to know we have someone who is reliable and has so much love for our fur baby.”

“Everything went smoothly, and I could not be more pleased! Maisie can be a shy girl sometimes but she took to Katie right away when Katie came for the meet-and-greet before setting up the recurring visits. That made me feel secure right there. It's a weight off my mind to know someone reliable, kind and caring is looking in on my little ones.”

“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”

Jasper F.

“This is the first of three bookings with Aidan and Dani and I was really happy, my cat Gerard was friendly to them, perhaps he recognized caring souls. He was well fed and every day we stayed in touch to report about the visits. Definitely recommend them for in visit situations. My cat does not like going elsewhere so having Dani and Aidan coming to my house was a plus.”

About: I had pets all through my childhood and live with multiple service dogs as an adult. I picked up a few tips and tricks from their owners/trainers. As much as I love dogs, not even the biggest brightest puppy dog eyes will break me. I currently work 7-3 at a school so I have off all weekends and most holidays. So I will have plenty of free time during the holiday season. As I will only be caring for pets inside the owner’s home (and walks) I will 100% defer to the rules of the house and any guidelines set by the owners. There will be plenty of walks, cuddles and playtime.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for friends and neighbors for almost 10 years. I have helped raise puppies while nannying, and have dog sat overnight for years! I have an energetic lovable 9 month old lab of my own who would love to have a friend to play with! I’ve cared for sick pets, puppies, and adult dogs. I’m experienced with bathing pets, love long walks and playing in the yard. I always make sure there is plenty of enrichment time. I am available during all hours of the day as I’m a stay at home mom currently. I’m available all hours of the day on weekends. I have a large yard and a lovable pup who can be a companion to your pet! She has gone to daycare for months so is fully socialized and always wants to play with anyone who is interested. We have a camera in our crate room to make sure everything is alright when we are away. We have a full room that is pretty much empty designated for dog toys and treats! I will make sure your pet gets all the love and attention they deserve while you are gone!
