“Linda went above and beyond with our 2 cats, looking after one in isolation post op and changed the batteries in the cat flap. We had updates with every visit, so were able to relax on our first holiday in 3 years. Both cats loved her fussing and brushing. Would highly recommend and book again. Thank you!”


2. Leah F.

“Leah was so helpful and accommodating, agreeing to look after Magnus at such short notice. She was great at keeping in touch and sending photos when she visited him each day. Leah is a useful contact for future services. Thank you”

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.


5. Ella B.

“So pleased that found Ella to look after my cat whilst on holiday, it's the first time we have left her with anyone and honestly felt so comfortable with Ella taking care of my cat, she did such a great job and has an excellent way with animals. She was so amazing with her, my cats normally a bit unsure of people but she took to Ella so well! Seeing the lovely daily picture updates it actually looked like she may prefer Ella to us! About to book again for next time we go away. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Chewy!”


6. Hannah D.

“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.”


7. Alice O.

“Alice was excellent. Carried out the visits across the festive season exactly as agreed. Photos and updates kept us feeling happy and confident Suki, our cat, was being entertained and cared for while we were away with family. Thank you Alice.”


8. Tom F.
About: I have looked after animals all my life, have housed multiple cats, I will also be caring with my partner who is also an animal lover, shes a dog lover and I'm a cat lover. I have DBS and previously SC cleared as per my jobs requirements, so you can be rest assured your house and pet will receive the best love and attention. Afternoons and Evenings would be best. Happy to stay in homes when you're away and care for your pet. Weekends are always best but my schedule can be freed up for walks, I can house sit 7 days a week and for as long as you need. I am always attentive to my cat and the needs of other pets, sadly I recently had my cat become quite unwell quite quickly and I rushed him to the vet as I wanted him to have immediate care as keeping him healthy is very important to me.

About: I am a fur baby mother to three wonderful pet (the names are a long story- feel free to ask) Bruce (7 year old black and white Maggie), Dog Jeff (6 year old Caviller King Charles Spaniel) and Cat Geoff (10 year old ragdoll) I have a large amount of experience around cats, having grown up with them all of my life. I have always been able to connect with cats and understand their behaviours and needs. I am learning with dogs as I go :) I have experience of cat sitting in house, looking after a 20 year old diabetic boy with arthritis so I’m used to giving insulin, feeding appropriately and giving pain medication both in oral tablet form and liquid. I can manage anxiety well in animals both behavioural and separation. I have experience of understanding different breed of cat, what they need to eat, how and when. (Especially picky eaters!) I would love to talk more about looking after your animals. To me they are family and will want for nothing in your absence :) I work on an agency as a teaching assistant so will only need a weeks notice as I take bookings daily. My own pets will be looked after by my husband, as we regularly do when I cat sit for my mother in law- so I’m quite free! Please be reassured your pets will be safe in my care, along with your home. I am DBS checked and have previously worked in care- therefore have training in health and safety. With my own animals, I ensure they all have what they need! My dog gets along with my cat and is very placid! He suffers from separation anxiety- I have a camera to keep an eye on him and have gradually been leaving him longer, with great success. My black and white moggie also has anxiety and installing a robust routine around food, play and cuddles has helped him significantly. Cat Geoff has always been an anxious and picky eater- he has specialised food in a feeder so he can graze and wet food fed to him on top of his cat tree (his choosing). When cat sitting, I listen to the instructions left for me and keep my mother in law updated with an adventure of the day photo and daily update. We have agreed a vet plan if necessary.

“Julia was fantastic - well informed about how our dog was doing - I can’t recommend her enough and we will absolutely use her again!”


11. Alice W.

“Alice was very honest, responsive, helpful, reliable and Teddy and Lincoln enjoyed her taking them for walks, feeding them and giving them a fantastic Christmas, which enabled all of us to have peace of mind knowing the were both well cared for a million thanks 😊”


12. Simeon P.
About: I've looked after all sorts of pets, from axolotls to kittens, fish to bulldogs. As well as my lovely, gentle old girl, a staff/boxer. I'm very reliable. If I say I'll be there I will be there. I am a self-employed programmer so I am completely flexible. I can work any time that is needed so it lets me be very adaptable. I have looked after a multitude of reptiles, fish and two cats in a single home for a two month period full time and, at the other end of the spectrum, 'feed and a fuss' pop-ins for loved pets around the area.


13. Mary E.
About: I have been lucky enough to have pets all my life, from when I was younger having cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, to now having my own Toy Poodle - Millie. Looking after your pets would be my absolute pleasure and they will be treated with so much love and care, exactly how you would treat them. I am currently working from home on an occasional basis keeping my business going, so I have lots of spare time and can work around anything. I have an enclosed garden that is pet safe for your fur baby. I also have my own dog who can provide that extra company. Your pet will never be left alone/unattended.

17. Paige T.
“Paige is one of the best bet nurses at our practice. I brought my dog in as she was having back issues and Paige was also caring and attentive towards her. Paige takes all her responsibilities at the practice very seriously and is always hands on with all animals that come in. I would definitely recommend Paige for any animal care services she is offering.”


18. Gabija S.
About: Hi! My name is Gabi, I live in Eastbourne and am looking for dog walking and pet sitting opportunities in my local area! I love to get out into the fresh air as much as I can. The beach is my favourite place to go, but I also love parks and the countryside. I have always loved dogs; ever since I can remember they have been the center of my world. I have looked after many dogs in the past, giving me the opportunity to develop strong skills when it comes to handling different types of breeds. I always make sure to provide each pet with the companionship and exercise that they need to feel healthy and happy. After all, exercise and love is important for both humans and animals. I always make sure the pet I am caring for is as happy and comfortable as possible, and of course I always give them lots of cuddles and kisses! From May until August I will be available 24/7 as I have these months off from university. I would love to give as many pets as possible all the love and care they deserve!! Although I live in a flat I go on several walks every day when I have the time so fresh air and lots of exercise is not a problem for the pets I care for.


19. Chloe S.
“Chloe is a very warm and responsible person with a natural affinity towards animals. My dog loves her and I’m always very comfortable leaving them in her care.”


20. luisa l.
“I am delighted to share my pet care experience with Luisa, who took care of my beloved Border Collie, Molly. Luisa's passion for animals is unparalleled, and her dedication to providing exceptional care is evident in every interaction with Molly. Luisa possesses a unique understanding of the needs and behavior of dogs. She ensured Molly received regular exercise, engaging her in stimulating activities that catered to her high energy levels. Additionally, Luisa's attentiveness to Molly's dietary requirements and health needs was remarkable, ensuring she received the appropriate nutrition and any necessary medication. What truly sets Luisa apart is her genuine love and affection for animals. Molly adored her, and it was evident in the way she responded to Luisa's presence. She created a safe and nurturing environment for Molly, establishing a bond built on trust and care. With her exceptional skills, experience, and genuine love for animals, Luisa would undoubtedly be an outstanding pet sitter. I recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and compassionate caregiver for their furry companions.”
