I definitely recommend Tasha for walking and night sits, she helped me out by doing a last minute night sit and stayed with my dog all night and the next day until I got back. She’s kind and keeps me updated on every walk, we are lucky to have her.

About: I volunteered for a year in a dog kennel and cattery looking after different breeds and ages. I catered my care depending on their needs, health conditions and temperaments. I’ve grown up with dogs big and small, from Japanese Chins and to an Alsatian. I’ve looked after a young pup of 10 months to wonderful Staffies who’ve lived to 16! I know every dog is different and special. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am available most weekends. My work schedule on work from home days are flexible around a couple of meetings. I will follow your instructions and requests around your beloved pets. Safety and security is of the utmost importance and I will provide pupdates so you can feel reassured of their happiness and safety.

About: Hi, I’m Bianca. I’m a licensed pet sitter (Licence Number 13292) with Eastbourne Borough Council and fully insured with Protectivity Insurance. I have also been DBS checked recently and I can provide you the certification. I take safety and hygiene very seriously, and I always keep my home prepared for pets. I have pet first aid available in-house, an air purifier running daily, and after every booking I deep clean my carpets and sofas so everything stays fresh and safe for the next visitor. I’ve been around both dogs and cats since I was a baby, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. Over the years I’ve lived with and looked after many pets, including a 14-year-old female Husky and a 2-year-old male Dalmatian. Living with pets of such different ages and personalities taught me a lot about their needs, routines, and emotions. My landlords trusted me fully, often leaving their dogs in my care for several days because they knew how responsible and loving I am. Following a pet’s routine is extremely important to me. I always pay close attention to instructions and stay flexible so your dog or cat feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ve also had returning Rover clients, and the bonds I build with their pets mean so much to me. When a pet stays with me, it genuinely feels like they become part of my little family. I recently bought a house with a secure, fenced garden that gives dogs a safe place to explore and relax. I only host one dog at a time so I can give them my full attention, understand their behaviour, and make sure they feel calm, happy, and cared for every moment they are with me. For me, Rover isn’t just pet sitting. It’s sharing my love for animals and giving them a home where they feel just as comfortable and loved as they do with you. I currently work a full-time remote job from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. However, I am quite flexible with my breaks and can easily attend to your pet’s needs, whether it’s checking in, playing, feeding, or walking them during boarding or pet care services. For dog walking services, I'm available to pick up your dog after 5:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I'm free all day for walks! When walking dogs, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always use sturdy, secure leashes and harnesses to ensure the dogs are safely under control. I stay vigilant, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic, other animals, or unsafe terrain. I follow any specific instructions from the pet owners regarding their dog’s behavior and preferences, ensuring the walks are enjoyable and stress-free. I also carry essential items like water, waste bags, and a first-aid kit to handle any situation that might arise. Building trust with the dogs is crucial; I use positive reinforcement and maintain a calm, confident demeanor to make them feel secure and happy during our walks. This approach not only ensures their safety but also strengthens the bond of trust between us.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals combined with experience handling all types of pets. I have trained puppies, cared for senior dogs, and understand their unique needs. I prioritise safety, consistency, and affection, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I provide clear updates and peace of mind, and my energetic, playful approach keeps dogs engaged, exercised, and mentally stimulated every day. As a self-employed freelancer working from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my days around your pet’s needs. I can provide regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day, ensuring your dog receives consistent care, companionship, and exercise. This flexibility also allows me to cater to special requirements, whether it’s feeding, medication, or extra cuddles for senior pets. By integrating pet care into my routine, I can give each animal my full focus, helping them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment for every pet. My home features a fully fenced garden where dogs can play and explore safely. I closely supervise all interactions, ensuring pets are never left in risky situations, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, and routines. Trust is my priority, so I communicate regularly with owners, sharing updates and photos to give peace of mind. Whether it’s energetic playtime, quiet cuddles, or gentle care for senior pets, I tailor my approach to keep every animal happy, comfortable, and safe.

I am so pleased I found Hannah. From the meet and greet it was so obvious that she is so passionate to look after animals. I was so relaxed through my holiday, as she informed me about my kitty everyday pictures, videos. My dear furry family member was not so welcoming but Hannahanage to break the ice and built a good “friendship” with her. I can highly recommend her.

About: We are active animal lovers that care about your pets needs and treat them like our own. Plenty of years experience handling pets, the size doesn't matter! We have 2 cheeky cats and are planning to get a dog of our own in the next couple of years. I was a dog walker previously in my birth town of Southampton and this was my primary and first job when I was younger. I would walk up to 4 dogs on the same walk so am up to any challenge. Happy to provide runs for more active dogs that need more exercise, can comfortably do a 5-10 km run with your pooch. Can also take them for longer walks all around and outside of Eastbourne to give them their daily exercise. When it comes to drop in's we are more than happy to carry out any specific tasks, we have weird cats that need things in a certain order :) Leon works Monday to Friday and is happy to provide services early morning, late at night or at the weekend. Same with Zuza, she has days off in the week so can happily provide even more flexibility. We share a house with 2 cats that are well looked after. Frank is 3 years old female cat and Billy is a senior cat and around 12 years old who I rescued from the streets (so not exactly sure how old) and has some special needs. He needs to be given medicine daily.

About: I have taken care of dogs in my family. I am around pets since I can remember. I used to live with an indoor cat for years, who after moving to house with garden started to walk on the leash. I am proud to say I had trained him to walk around the garden without leash and without running away over or under the fence. We started to walk around, I kept him close to my side. After a month I started the same walk, but no leash. He would simply go the same route and come back home on his own. Then I started to let him out on his own, but still controlling so he wouldn’t run away. He started reacting to when I was saying to go home. I unlocked the training potential in him after many years. Sometimes I take care of neighboor's dog. I am available most of the times. I am flexible with the hours I can do. I will keep my calendar constantly updated so the days you see I am available, I can be there for your dear pet. Most importantly, I pay them attention, watch what they do. Watch them to know what they want and what they might need. Simply take care.

About: Hi! Here’s a little about me- I grew up with dogs (cocker spaniels & boarder collies) and then I got my beloved Chase, a Finnish Lapphund, when she was just 8 weeks old, up until the age of nearly 15. I have looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years and so not only do I have experience looking after dogs of all ages/ stages of their life, I also understand the bond and love that there is between a dog and its owner. My home is perfectly set up for a dog- gates are in place, beds, food & water bowls, anti-slip carpets for senior dogs whose paws are less stable, etc. The walled garden is secure and there is a convenient park just down the road too. I know how difficult it is to find somewhere that offers complete peace of mind, which is why I would like to offer a home from home for your dog(s), by providing a loving and reliable service for those who benefit and thrive so much more from being in a warm and welcoming household with 1-1 attention. I’m a teacher and therefore I will be able to help during school holidays in particular, as well as weekends. I am also available most Thursday afternoons from 1pm onwards. I have a walled garden and plenty of space for your dog to roam around. I don’t mind them sitting on the sofa (unless you have taught them not to!) and I can easily accommodate a crate should you want your dog to sleep in one rather than on a dog bed. I will typically walk your dog twice daily unless stated otherwise- I will always cater to your dog’s needs.

About: I work part time and therefore have plenty of time to look after your furry friends. I have owned and trained dogs in the past and looked after dogs and cats for friends in recent years. I live with my 18 yr old son who also adores animals, so your pet will get double fuss and love. I am usually available wed - sat, other days can be arranged in advance. When a dog is with me, they will get walks depending on their individual needs. I live in a flat (that does allow pets) old town rec /park in Eastbourne is on our doorstep, which leads into the woods and then up on to the downs, so theres plenty of fabulous walks to be had. Dogs are welcome to make my sofa their home and cuddle up whenever they want.

About: Hey! My name is Abi and I am the owner of "Pawz For Days". I have had a passion for animals my whole life! Owning cats until I was old enough to move out and get myself a pup of my own, I am now familiar with both cats and dogs. I have helped rescue-dogs establish themselves into new homes and gained my dog training diploma during COVID. Friends of mine who have pets had to quickly realise that when I'm visiting their home, it's usually to cuddle and play with their fur babies, rather than to spend time with them 😅. I'm so excited to meet lots of new fur babies and give them the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 At home my partner and I have 2 children - a 4 year old and a baby who is not yet 1 years old. I am on maternity leave so other than school runs, I have plenty of free time to go on walks and take care of animals 💚 I currently don't have any other animals living with me, but my house is pet friendly as it has a fenced garden, a lockable pet flap, as well as a child-proofed downstairs due to us having a baby.

Lynda looked after our 13-week-old kitten for the weekend and did a brilliant job. She kept us updated with photos, made sure he was fed and had fresh water, and even cleaned up after a little accident he had on the bathroom floor. It was our first time using a sitter, and she really helped put our minds at ease. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.
