Dog Walking in Eastbourne

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: With over five years of experience caring for family and friends pets, I bring a wealth of hands-on knowledge and a genuine love for animals to every sitting job. I'm comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time and flexibility to be taking care of your wonderful animals. I can be available on weekends, and weekdays. I have a lovely fenced garden and toys to keep your pups occupied, I also drive meaning I can take your pup out for long enjoyable walks :)

About: I only put 1 year because I'm honestly unsure of the exact number of years that I have been involved with looking after family pets. I've always loved animals I grew up round many as well. Dog walking will help me get more exercise so it's a win win situation. I'll always let owners know what route I'll be walking their dogs and take photos to show them how much their dogs enjoyed the walk

“Leah and Herbert bonded immediately. Leah was professional sand in time”

About: For the past two years, I have lived in two different households with dogs. I cared for a 14-year-old female Husky and currently take care of a 2-year-old male Dalmatian. This experience has given me a broad understanding of different dog ages and genders. Although I wasn't paid by my landlords to take care of their pets, they saw how caring and attentive I am with dogs. As a lifelong dog lover, they trusted me to look after their pets, often leaving them in my care for days at a time. 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: Over 30 years experience of owning and looking after dogs which we treat as family we lost our two dogs two years ago and any dog we look after will be treated like royalty Both myself and my husband Sean are retired and we can fit pet care around our hobby of travel but we are flexible and can fit our schedule around the owner if required there are two of us so can always work things out Garden completely secure with gates we also live by the beach for great walks we are happy to offer most services including longer stays if required

About: I've looked after dogs for most of my life, we got our first dog when I was 12 and he's been my best friend growing up. I've always looked after my neighbours and friends dogs, by both dog-sitting and just dog walking. I love being around animals and am always happy to give lots of attention and cuddles! I am currently working as a self-employed singer-songwriter/musician so I am always at home throughout the work day and can be around as much as you need me to, to give your doggies the best care! I am very near to the beach so can give doggies long beach walks where they can run and sniff lots! I have space in my car for a crate so can also travel with the doggies to take them on more exciting walks too!

“Katie has a lovely manner with dogs which gives us confidence. Honey remembered her initial meeting and was keen to see her. Katie dealt calmly with Honey’s separation issues. She sent a reassuring message and photo and video. She clearly loves dogs and they love her. We trust Katiee and know she will keep Honey safe.”

About: I have taken care and lived with family dogs over the recent years, such as a German shepherd and Cocker Spaniel. I have also looked after friends and colleagues dogs. I work locally to where I am based, which allows me plenty of time both before and after work. As well as popping home in lunch breaks. I live in a 3 bed pet free household, in a crescent away from main roads. We also have a fenced off back garden and large living dinning area.

About: As a rescue pet owner, I have done a lot of research on dog behaviour and continue to do so. For me, staying aware during walks and any triggers that may arise is at the highest importance. Caring for animals brings me great satisfaction and I spend most of my free time volunteering for a dog and cat rescue. I work from home 3 days a week and my fiancé is full time home worker. My dog (Parker) and I take 1-1.5h morning and afternoon walks in our local parks, on the seafront or nearby forests and can be flexible with the needs of your dog. During weekends, Parker and I usually take the car and explore new areas! Parker is allowed in every room, on the sofa/bed and so would your dog! We’ve had family and friends’ dogs over so he is used to sharing his space. I can also provide a bed and/or crate if needed!

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.

About: We have always had dogs in the family so grew up up taking care of our family pets which continues to do this day looking after any of the family dogs, walking them, dog sitting etc. I always try my best to keep dogs entertained, active and with plenty of company (if they want it ofcourse!) I work Monday - Friday but spend a few of these days working from home. I am always off on the weekends so am always happy to lend a hand then! I have a spacious and cozy flat with space for the dog to feel at home and have a shared garden for the building. We have plenty of great spots nearby for walks!

“Poppy is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met Aura, it was clear that she genuinely cares. Before our first official walk, she took the time to accompany us from our flat to the park, ensuring she understood Aura's needs and surroundings. Poppy's communication is outstanding; she always informs me when she arrives, sends photos of Aura enjoying her walks, and also updates me on -the less glamorous details haha- like pees and poos. She is so attentive and respectful. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a caring and reliable dog walker.”

About: Having grown up with dogs and other small animals, this has given me a wide range of skills and experience and i’d be happy to take care of your doggy when you can’t be around . I am punctual and committed to all of my responsibilities and am happy to help where needed. I am currently on summer break, between college and university, so am very free for the next couple months. I’m flexible with times and easy to adjust to your times/ requests. I’m always sticking to the recommendations and your requests, whether it’s to give certain medication or how much to feed your pet. When going out keeping dogs on a lead is the safest, option , only considering taking the dog off lead in a secured, closed, dog park once we are both familiar with each other. If your dog is under my care at my house, i have a big, fully gated garden with no chance of it escaping, as safety is my number 1 priority when looking after your pet .

About: I specialise in caring for pets with additional needs, such as: separation anxiety, reactivity, disability, or nervous disposition. I am confident administering medication and adhering to personalised instructions. I appreciate that every pet is different, and always treat them as individuals. During a sit, I will provide regular updates and photographs or videos of your pets for added reassurance. During a sit, your pet(s) will be my sole focus. I will only leave them home alone for short periods should I need to run an errand or similar. As a former Estate Manager and Nanny/Govorness, I have many years experience living and working in other people's homes. I am clean, tidy, and respectful of personal space and belongings; do not cook smelly food; and am a lifelong non-smoker. Rest assured that your beloved pets and home will be left in safe and trustworthy hands whilst you enjoy a guilt and worry-free holiday.

“Thank you Lauren.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets for as long as I can remember, and now my own children have inherited my love of animals. I am reliable, kind and caring and attentitive to the individual needs of each dog or cat. Your pet will be very loved in my care. I work part time and from home so can easily fit pet care into my day to day routine. Walks and excersize are a regular part of my family routine. We have a large home and a good size garden that is secure and well fenced. We have good access to the downs and a very nice local park.

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up including 3 cats, 6 rabbits, and a handful of smaller pets. After that my family decided to introduce our golden doodle. We have had her for almost 13 years now. I’ve had lots of experience looking after her and have also helped friends and family look after their furry friends too! I now live alone in a studio flat with no pets, so I am able to help look after yours! I currently work part-time as a bartender on weekends, so Friday and Saturday evenings/overnights I am not available. Early Saturday and Sunday mornings I am unavailable as well as I finish work late the night before. Any weekdays however, I am completely free! Leaving your fur baby in the care of someone else takes a lot of trust, to help achieve this I am more than happy to share any details/photos about the environment provided for them. Before leaving your pet in my care I will always make sure to communicate with you properly and have all the information about your pet to ensure they are in the best care for them as possible.
