Pet Sitting Bracklesham

About: I have had dogs of all kinds all my life. I adore dogs. I had a very nervous Golden Retriever from 8 weeks old until he passed away. I saw him as part of the family. I looked after a Welsh Border Collie for 18 months because the owner couldn’t have dogs where she moved to. I also looked after two 10-year-old Labrador/Alsatian crosses. One of them had behavioural issues, but I was able to care for her confidently. I used to dog sit for them every few weeks and stay for several days at a time. I am reliable, sensible and flexible. I also have a car, so I can come at short notice and provide emergency transport to the vet if ever needed. I am available most days (except Tuesdays) and have my own car, so I’m able to travel where needed. I am reliable, caring and able to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays and boarding. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay. I’ll always do my best to follow their usual routine and give them plenty of love, attention and playtime, so they feel as comfortable as possible. I live in a large one-bedroom first-floor flat and have my landlord’s permission to have pets. I am also happy to stay in your home if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with. I am respectful, trustworthy and fully focused on caring for your furry family member as if they were my own. I recently lost my partner hence why I’d like to do this. I am available most days (except Tues) and I have a car so I’m able to travel/come at short notice. I am currently not working due to a health condition but that doesn’t affect me caring for dogs. I am reliable and sensible! I am able to provide any service and I can’t wait to play and care for your dogs I live in a large one bed first floor flat, I live alone. I have permission from my landlord to have pets. I am also happy to stay at the owners house. I am really respectful and fully focussed on caring for your fluffy friends!

“Millie was amazing! We have a 14 week old cockapoo that we hadn’t left with anyone and she was brilliant. Millie popped over the day before to meet us and the puppy, was so flexible in her timings and stayed with her all day at our house. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a lovely, kind and trustworthy dog sitter/walker.”

About: Lots of pet business experience since 2015 as well as our own pets (including dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rats, mice, ducks, ponies etc.) Fully insured & DBS Checked I have taken early retirement to travel a bit with my husband but also I would like to continue to help with people’s pets and houses to enable them to go away whilst their loved ones are being lovingly cared for by me. I have dogs who will travel with me in the Motorhome, I will stay in your house whilst my husband stays in the van with the dogs so your pets never need to come in contact with the dogs unless you say it’s ok. As you can see from my photos I ran a family business since 2015. My son Robbie now cares for pets and homes within bus distance of Selsey, West Sussex, on his own Rover profile. My husband and I can now travel further afield (even to mainland Europe) if the travel expenses are paid for and it’s for a longer sit.

“We were very happy to have James look after our 18-week-old puppy. James is friendly, reliable and trustworthy. He made time to visit us beforehand so that he could get to know our puppy and understand her routine. As it was her first time being left, we really appreciated the frequent updates on how she was coping, which gave us great peace of mind. James followed all of our guidelines carefully and let us know immediately if he had any concerns. He genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. James was fun and caring with our puppy, and we felt completely confident that she was in safe hands. We highly recommend James and would happily have him to look after our puppy again!”

About: I've been around dogs since I was 8 years old and have always loved being part of their lives. Growing up with family dogs gave me plenty of hands-on experience, and over the years I've regularly looked after dogs for friends and family. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and well cared for. I work during the week, so I'm available for bookings at weekends and during school holidays. Throughout the summer holidays I have plenty of free time, allowing me to give your dog lots of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'll always make sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and love they need while you're away. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a private, secure garden and plenty of space inside my home for dogs to relax and feel at ease. I also have a friendly cat who is very used to the family dogs visiting, so they're comfortable around each other. I'll follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and any special instructions, so they feel happy, safe, and right at home.

About: I’ve always had a dog in the family and enjoy spending my time with dogs, whether that be walks or general care. Always up for a good adventure. I currently work Monday to Friday so would be more available for weekend work than in the week, but can make some adjustments for potential evening walks etc. I have a fenced garden so plenty of space for a dog to enjoy even after a good walk. I also have the space to crate a dog too.

About: With several years of experience caring for puppies, kittens, horses, and reptiles, I offer expert, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs and personality. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine as a student midwife. I get yearly timetables and I dedicate time each week for walks, feeding, and check-ins, ensuring consistent, dependable care. In my home, pets become part of the family—lots of love, walks, and cozy spots to rest. Secured garden and run of our home. In your home, I provide gentle, reliable care that keeps their routine steady and stress-free.

“Very satisfied with Emma and Mark who were able to drop in on my dog Milo last minute. I received updates and pictures and came home to a happy doggy. Emma was friendly and communicated well ahead of the visit. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

“Jenny was so wonderful with our 3 dogs of different sizes and energy levels. She provided updates and beautiful photos throughout the day and provided each dog with a thorough report. She was very professional from beginning to end and I will def book her again!”

About: I have a frenchie who was born Feb 2023 and had him since he was 8 weeks old, I trained him from the get go with some help from YouTube , books , friends & some puppy classes . He’s now the best dog , so friendly , so good with children and so fun to be around ! He’s always making us laugh. Having dogs in your life makes your life happier! I actually never had a dog growing up but I always had friends and boyfriends who had them I always found myself gravitating towards them. Since having Xylo I can’t believe I ever had a life without him by my side ! I frequently puppy sit a friends dog and have a friend with an anxious Frenchie who I’ve helped and assisted with , she’s now Xylos best friend ! She went from not liking other people and other dogs now they’re the best of friends and even enjoys playing with my daughter . When growing up I always wanted take my friends dogs on their leads . I had a partner for a few years and he had two Labs which were adorable we often took them for walks and trained them both together . I constantly asked questions and learnt how to look after them both. I took them out on my own as I didn’t work full time. I helped look after his elderly dog in and out of cars until his final days. I then found myself supporting his dog left behind in his grief of his best buddy. I’ve always had an interest in dogs but my lifestyle growing up was too busy for a dog , now I work part time it’s perfect time to show off what I can do! I’m currently working Monday-Wednesday but for holiday bookings message me and I can see what I can do! I’m around Thursday - Sunday. I have two year old stepdaughter who LOVES dogs , big or small and is so gentle with them. She has grown up with Xylo as they were both babies when they met ! She goes to childcare on a Thursday and every other weekend she goes to her mums. But I’m happy to have your pups with her, she loves them just as much as me! Her favourite part of the day is taking the dog for a walk , she’s currently training on the lead - loving it! There’s a few people in the house who will also be happy to take my daughter off my hands which will give me some time with your pups on their own! I’m very flexible and I will try my best to fit your pups schedule around mine! Any Questions about Monday-Wednesdays please just message and I can try and adjust for you . I have an Advanced DBS My home is in the perfect spot for dogs , I have a big garden that backs on to multiple fields. I have beaches near by , parks , forests , lakes, rivers , quieter roads and a high fenced spacious garden. My home can be potentially separated off of your dog needs some time to relax away from my dog. But I will give them chill times anyway. I also have a national trust membership which gives us a variety of different opportunities for walks. We also have a gated driveway . There’s a dog park at the top of my road that has play equipment suitable for dogs and is a huge gated area that I like to rent out when having other dogs especially for meeting for the first time !

About: I've grown up with dogs in the family and always out for walks with them, have house sit many friends dogs as well as taking them for walks with amd without the owner. I'm currently working part time and this would work perfectly within my schedule in helping you out with your pets needs, walks, drop in visits as well as doggy park visits. Within a fenced garden and a watchful eye making sure they don't get up to mischief, i can also crate dogs as and when needed.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me. Right now, I have my dog Alfie, a complete bundle of energy who needs tons of walks, fetch, and playtime to tire him out. I also recently lost my older dog, so I deeply understand the extra patience, slow walks, and gentle care that senior dogs need. From high energy dogs to quiet seniors, I’ll treat your dog just like my own :) Since I work on a small remote project from home, my schedule is completely flexible. I don't have fixed office hours, which means I have all the time in the world to give your dogs the care, attention, and company they need, especially if you're away on holiday and want them to feel comfortable at home! I’m already out walking my energetic dog Alfie for 2 to 3 hours every day (split into a couple of walks, usually early morning and late evening during hot weather, with plenty of indoor playtime in between). I also have my own car, so traveling to nearby areas or taking your dog to nice walking spots is no problem at all. The house I live in is very big, we usually leave a door open but for first visitors I would go out into garden with their lead on to make sure they know how to get back to the house. I would be happy to let them off the lead and follow them around so they don’t get lost. In the owners home I would always take them out on a lead and make sure they feel safe and the environment is safe before letting them off.
