Pet Sitting Chichester

About: I’m a friendly, reliable and DBS checked dog walker with hands-on experience from owning dogs over the years, as well as volunteering with the RSPCA in dog care. I’m comfortable with a range of breeds, sizes and temperaments, including rescue and nervous dogs, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy and well cared for. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet, so I’ll always provide a calm, caring approach, keep you updated, and treat your dog as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me flexibility for dog walks during the day. I’m available for walks during my lunch break (between 11:30am–2pm) and after work from 5pm onwards. Tuesdays are less flexible, but I may still have limited availability depending on the week. I’m generally available most weekends at any time, so I can be more flexible to suit your dog’s routine. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities through both personal ownership and my volunteering with the RSPCA. This has given me confidence working with a range of temperaments, including dogs who may be nervous, shy or simply need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. For added peace of mind, I am DBS checked and have completed Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) training, covering CPR, choking, bleeding control, seizures and other common canine emergencies. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing and happiness will always be my top priority. Every dog is different, so I believe walks should be tailored to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk, a slower-paced stroll or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I aim to provide a positive experience that leaves them happy, enriched and looking forward to their next adventure.

“Harriet was fantastic. She was punctual, friendly and professional. When we arrived home Paolo was in great form. He had been well watered, looked after and fed. We would highly recommend using her and will definitely be asking her to look after Paolo 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.

“Rebecca is wonderful. Great communication and flexible to our needs. Our dog loved her, he has separation anxiety and doesn’t feel comfortable being left with many people. How quickly he settled with Rebecca is testament to her nature and skill with dogs. Will definitely be using her services again :)”

About: For the past 10 years I’ve enjoyed walking/bathing/playing with/sitting my friends’s and family member’s dogs alongside my own. I am happy to accommodate to the owner’s needs for their dog and enjoy working with a range of different dog breeds :) I’m happy to be flexible surrounding you and your dog - I am free weekday mornings/afternoons and all day Friday-Sunday. Let me know the timings you need and I will try my best to accommodate! My garden is fenced and spacious allowing your dog to play freely. I pay close attention to your dog ensuring the safety and comfort of your pets.

About: Not only have I taken care of my own pets since I was a child, for over the past year I have dog sat for many friends and family. I am a recent philosophy graduate with lots of time to care for my own pets. This means I have a lot of spare time, and I what’s better than spending that time taking care of others’ animals? To look after dogs, I had a gated garden and a gate at the bottom of the stairs. My rabbits had a large enclosure, the same with my chickens. Further, my cats are both outdoor.

About: Hi, I’m Joel. I’m a Teaching Assistant in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) setting, regularly involved in outdoor activities and Forest School sessions. This means I’m at my happiest outdoors, rain or shine, and I’m used to managing a variety of unique needs with patience and a calm, positive approach. Working in an SEN environment has taught me how to read body language and learn to provide care for each individual’s needs - skills that translate perfectly to dealing with our furry friends! Whether your dog is a zoomy explorer who loves adventure or a more nervous personality who needs a gentle, patient companion, I can adapt my walking style to suit them. Why choose me? * DBS-Checked: I hold a current Enhanced DBS through my school role. * Genuine Love For The Outdoors: Spending most of my work and free time outside, all year long. * SEN Expertise: I’m highly patient and experienced with 'big' personalities and complex needs. * Reliable & Responsible: I’m used to following strict safety protocols and routines. * Experience with reactive/nervous dogs: Growing up at home with rescue dogs with challenging behaviours, learning to nurture and understand dogs both confident and nervous. Reach out with any queries you might have and I’ll respond as soon as I am able. Initial meet and greets with dogs are completely free as I’ll be eager to get to know the dogs before we set off on our first walk together! I work school hours during the week, which means I am free from 3:30pm weekdays. On weekends I can be available and flexible with hours, also being able to offer full time availability during school holidays. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and share some fun fuelled walks! I can commit my full focus and attention towards your four legged loved ones, as I get as much joy being around them as they hopefully will around me! I have a very calm demeanour which I like to think helps the people and dogs around me feel the same way too.

About: With two dogs at home and years spent loving and looking after my two elderly cats, I know how much pets mean to us. I look after all pets as if they were my own. I work part‑time, so I’m flexible and able to look after your pets in their own home — including taking them out for regular walks to keep them happy and settled. I create a calm, safe environment in your home, keeping your dog’s routine, comfort, and wellbeing at the centre of everything I do. You can trust me to care for your dog and respect your space with the same attention I give my own pets.

About: I've always been trusted to care for family pets, whether for overnight stays or daily walks, and I've loved every minute of it. I've also looked after pets for neighbours and family friends, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I love attending training classes with my own dog, Bruce, and have picked up a few fun tricks and training techniques along the way that I can practise with your pup too! I’m currently back from university over the summer and only working part time so i have plenty of time to look after and play with any dogs! My schedule is very flexible to fit your needs. I have a fenced garden and a very energetic dog, Bruce, who will love the company. I am very attentive and will make sure your dog has everything they need

“Ellie has been lovely with our cat, detailed report after each visit left us with piece of mind. Definitely recommend, tha k you Ellie for your help!”

About: Hi, I’m Dai, a reliable and caring dog sitter who provides pet sitting in your dog’s own home, allowing them to remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while you’re away. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have spent that time caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Alongside looking after my own dogs, I’ve regularly cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, giving me valuable hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments and routines. I work full-time in a remote role, which gives me the flexibility to work from different locations and spend more time with the pets in my care. This means your dog can enjoy companionship and attention throughout the day, rather than being left alone for long periods. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. In my spare time, I volunteer within the community, a role that requires me to hold a DBS check, providing additional reassurance to owners when entrusting me with their pets and property. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll ensure they receive the care, attention and exercise they need while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind. My aim is simple: to provide a trustworthy, professional and caring service that keeps both you and your dog happy. Pet care fits well into my routine as I work remotely and can be flexible about where I work. This allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day, whether that’s providing companionship, feeding, walks or simply keeping them company in their own home. I am happy to work around a pet’s usual routine and keep owners updated regularly while they are away. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I take the time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise requirements, favourite activities and any specific instructions so that their day-to-day life remains as consistent as possible. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I am reliable, trustworthy and understand the importance of keeping both pets and property secure. My volunteering role requires me to hold a DBS check, providing additional reassurance to owners. I provide regular updates, photos and messages throughout each booking so owners can see how their pets are getting on and have peace of mind while they’re away. Whether caring for an energetic dog, a senior pet or an independent cat, I always aim to provide attentive, responsible and compassionate care.

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.

About: Fun, trustworthy sitter, rescue volunteer, great with anxious pets, puppies and seniors, used to working in homes around animals, creating relaxed, happy, and safe memorable moments As a self employed business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritise pet care throughout my day and week. Animals are naturally part of my routine, whether volunteering with rescue dogs or simply spending time visiting local wildlife. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so providing care never feels like a task, but a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life I understand how important trust is, having relied on sitters for my own cat who needed gentle, low-stress care. This is the standard of care I provide helping your pet feel right at home while following their usual routine to keep them settled and happy. I treat every animal with patience and genuine care, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. As I don’t currently have pets, your pet has my full attention, and I’m always happy to send regular updates for complete peace of mind

About: Since my early years, the family house has always been filled with small animals - cats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. From this I’ve built a very good understanding of how to care for small animals like how to administer medication, feed, clean and groom them. Over my teenage years, whilst completing my gold Duke of Edinburgh, I volunteered for a year at an animal sanctuary where we cared and housed the most random of animals from hedgehogs to seagulls. But the most common animal we had were cats and kittens. Often we had around 20 cats at one time so I had to make sure to divide my time well that each animal had a good amount of human contact, cuddles, play time and grooming. It was important to establish bonds with the cats and kittens coming in as many were rescues so some didn’t have the best experience with human interaction. It was also important to build this connection so that they were able to go to homes in the future. As I have my own pet, Nova, I am very confident with scheduling for food, cleaning, vet visits etc. I work early in the morning therefore am up for early feeding time and then free for the whole day. Before accepting any job, It is my priority to first establish a basic relationship with the owner and pet in a visit before the intended date. This allows me to meet the pet and learn their schedule/ behaviour and where everything needed is and make sure you are happy and comfortable with me too!

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.
