“Freya was very friendly and took time to come and meet Bailey and get to know him. Freya asked questions and really wanted to know all about my animals. He house was left lovely and tidy too.”

“Thank you Leah for looking after Dudley at my house for the weekend. Came back to a very happy dog and clean house. Leah kept me updated with photos of Dudley and responded to all communication promptly. Would highly recommend. 🐶❤️”

“Monika was a pleasure to deal with, very responsive and keeping us updated on her stay with photos and notes - which we really appreciate! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Cato, Nero and our home!”

“Tasha is absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately we had to cancel our booking because our dog was taken ill hours before, but during our home visit Tasha was warm, friendly, had a great bond with our dog, and made us feel completely at ease. Would highly recommend!”

“Tasha has been brilliant from first conversations to the end of our 2 bookings. She welcomed a meet and greet which went well. Communication was always timely and Tasha was great at taking our routine with Skye on board and followed all instructions perfectly. Skye and Tasha got on really well and had a nice mix of playtimes and chill times. Tasha updated us nicely with pictures whilst we were out which was reassuring and lovely to hear. We would have no issues booking Tasha again.”

“Not even sure to start with how pleased we are we've found Morgan. It can be really tricky with a reactive dog but we have been really impressed throughout the process - from initial contact through to our meet up and then the booking itself. Bonnie seems to have warmed to her really well and we felt very confident leaving her with Morgan!”


About: “Sniff, Explore, Exercise — Walks Tailored to Your Dog’s World.” Follow Their Nose Dog Walking I’ve spent 22 years caring for my own dogs, from raising my first boy from an eight‑week‑old puppy to supporting him through heart problems and dementia until he passed peacefully at 17. My second dog Marvin was diagnosed with a liver shunt and complex health needs two years ago and I have cared for him during his surgery and healing, teaching me the importance of patience, gentle enrichment, and adapting walks to suit a dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing. These experiences shaped my passion for supporting senior dogs, nervous dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs who have experienced trauma. I understand how much they benefit from calm handling, predictable routines, and walks that allow them to feel safe and in control. I’ve also volunteered at Raystede Animal Welfare centre, which strengthened my commitment to compassionate, ethical care and deepened my understanding of how different dogs communicate stress, curiosity, and comfort. My Approach I’m happy to walk all dogs, including those who simply need a good exercise walk. But my specialist focus is enrichment‑led sniff walks, backed by research showing that sniffing reduces stress, boosts confidence, and provides powerful mental and physical stimulation. Every walk is tailored to the dog in front of me, whether they need a brisk stretch, a slow confidence‑building sniffari adventure, or a gentle senior‑friendly outing. What I Offer A calm, patient, understanding approach Experience with senior, anxious, reactive, and medically complex dogs Exercise walks for all breeds and energy levels Specialist sniff walks that support emotional wellbeing Walks designed around enrichment, exploration, and choice Follow Their Nose Dog Walking is built on one belief: Dogs thrive when we let them be dogs—sniffing, exploring, and experiencing the world at their own pace. Caring is at the heart of everything I do. I work Monday to Thursday for an older people’s charity, so empathy, patience and support are already part of my daily life. Pet care naturally fits alongside this — it’s something I genuinely love, not something I squeeze in. I offer dog walking 6.30pm–10pm Monday to Thursday, which is perfect for owners who work late, need evening support, or want their dog to have a calming enrichment walk before bedtime. I’m also fully available all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving clients plenty of flexibility for regular walks, weekend adventures, or last‑minute bookings. My own 22 years of caring for dogs with complex needs has shaped how I work: calmly, gently and with a deep understanding of senior dogs, nervous dogs and those who need a little extra patience. Whether it’s an energetic dog needing exercise or a sensitive dog needing a slow, sniff‑led walk, I build my routine around what helps them feel safe, stimulated and happy. Pet care isn’t an add‑on to my week — it’s a natural extension of who I am and the work I’ve always done: supporting others with compassion and consistency. I prioritise safety, calm handling and consistency in every service I offer. For dog walking, I use secure equipment, choose safe routes and tailor the pace to each dog’s needs whether that’s a brisk exercise walk or a gentle, enrichment‑led sniff walk. For pet sitting in an owner’s home, I follow the dog’s usual routine to keep them settled and stress‑free, treating both the home and the pet with the same care I give my own. My friendly Jack Russell can also join walks if a dog would benefit from a confident, sociable companion always optional and based on what suits each individual dog.
“Amazing experience using Hannahs house sitting services for the first time! She was very thorough in making sure she had all of Lennys requirements/ routine info, so he would have the best care possible while we were away. During the time she was with him in our house, we recieved a couple of updates and pictures, which was really reassuring! I've come back this morning and my house is tidy and has clearly been looked after. More importantly Lenny was in great spirits and clearly had an excellent night with his new friend 🥰. So glad we've found Hannah for evenings when we need a break. Will most definitely be using her again!”

“Could not recommend Alice more highly! An absolutely wonderful sitter who sent loads of updates, was so loving and sweet with our rescue boy, and was always super punctual! She made our time working in Eastbourne a dream.”


About: I have a good-sized garden, lots of toys and treats, and a relaxed and calm atmosphere. I don't have any rules for the bed or furniture, so the entire home is for them to use and feel comfortable. I love for the dogs to socialise and meet new friends. I don't have our own dog, so I board one or two dogs at a time(if they are good match) , so they can have all the attention. The home is completely pet-friendly. I live close to a park and I walk pets 2-3 times a day,(unless there are special requirements). I'm truly excited to meet your best friend, feel free to reach out to me anytime. Requested information about your pet Please let me know any likes and dislikes, special needs or anything I should be aware of during the stay. I will be more than happy to accommodate special requests to make sure your doggie has a good time and is taken care This are the list of information I need from your dog ahead of the sitting: - Toilet breaks time - Walking routine - Food routine - Energy level - Any special requests/needs/preferences

About: Hi, I am a mature student looking for pet-sitting jobs. I work in healthcare and have a DBS certificate. I had three rabbits called Theadora, Claude, and Justinian. Thea lived to 12 years old, which is a good age for a rabbit. I had a border terrier called Ruby. I also had a cat at university that was imaginatively called Cat. I look after my neighbour's cats while they are away, and I also had my friend's Chocolate Labrador called Oscar live with me for several weeks while they had housing difficulties. I love walking outdoors and spending time with pets. I am currently working part-time on a Friday. I am starting university in September, and I will be required to attend class every other Wednesday; apart from that, I am a free agent. I have a fenced garden with a very high wooden fence. I own my house, and I live alone. At the moment, I have no pets. My 11-year-old daughter stays with me at weekends.
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 :)
“Rebecca looked after Poppy extremely well She took notes of all poppy's likes and dislikes Sent regular updates and photos, which was great . It was lovely to go away knowing Poppy was well looked after and the house was too I would have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca and we will certainly use her again . She even popped back after she'd left as our train was delayed and fed Poppy . Thank you Rebecca 😊”

“Jade looked after our three dogs while we went away for the weekend to a wedding. We have two Lurchers, one of which is quite nervous and a Cockapoo. I could tell instantly that Jade is a natural with dogs and I knew that my bunch were going to be happy with her. We had a relaxing weekend away because Jade kept in touch and sent us photos and updates which was great! I would not hesitate to recommend Jade as a dog and house sitter and would definitely ask her back again!”

“Absolutely brilliant! Archie loved Laura and felt so comfortable with her he went straight to sleep - high praise! Friendly, excellent communication, and really lovely! Would highly recommend!”

“Tom and Emma were perfect, conscientious house guests, leaving everything clean and tidy. More importantly they got on well with Maggie who was relaxed, happy and obedient in their care. I would certainly recommend Tom and Emma.”


About: My name is Amie, I have always had cats as pets my whole life so already had experience with cats! I went on to get a diploma in animal management from Plumpton college and went on to work for a kennels/cattery for almost two years. I have worked for a pet sitting and dog walking company were I visited cats and other pets on the regular so I have a lot of experience with cats as a dedicated cat lover! I now work at Coastway vets in Brighton as an animal nurse assistant which has been incredible ❤️
About: Since childhood animals have been a big parts of my life. Growing up with dogs, cats, and a few others you’d find on a pet bingo card. I understand that they are not just pets, they are part of the family and that it can be an anxious time leaving your pet with someone new which is why dog sitting your pet in its own is important for the comfort and safety. I have been part of our dog’s training program, even as a very small child. As a family we have fostered and helped prepare dogs for rehoming. I love being out doors and going for long walks regardless of the weather. I am available for pet sitting weekday evenings/overnight after 5:30pm or weekends, from 5:30pm on a Friday until 8:00am Monday. I work full time during the week so will need to leave by 8am the following day if weekday, overnight sitting is required. Let me know your house rules and I will fit into your pets daily routine. I will make it like part of my family. Depending on the size of the dog and its physical ability, your pet will come out with me in the day and we will relax at home during the evening.
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!

Tasha cared for Ruby, our very loved Jack Russell overnight in our home. Ruby isn’t the easiest of dogs to care for, as being a terrier she is clever and also doesn’t like being separated from us. Tasha looked after Ruby with sensitivity, intelligence and her affinity with animals. Ruby had a lovely time and importantly for us, when we returned she was calm and contented. Tasha is an excellent dog sitter and I would strongly recommend her to you.

Considering 1st time using this app I am very impressed with monika and the care she gave my molly whilst I was abroad. I had daily updates with photos and I can honestly say knowing she was there to help made my worries go away. So so happy and will definitely use Monika again.

Hannah was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for Rosie. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how caring and experienced she is with dogs. She also brought along her lovely little dog, Angel, who got on brilliantly with Rosie—they became fast friends straight away and it was so nice knowing Rosie had a companion while i was away. Hannah kept everything calm, fun, and well-organised, and Rosie was clearly happy and comfortable in her care. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was being looked after by someone so attentive and kind. Hannah provided plenty of pictures and video updates to keep me updated. I came home to a very content pup, which says it all! I would happily recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog sitter, and Rosie would definitely love to see Hannah and Angel again. 🐾

Tasha has looked after Atlas a few times now and every time she has been amazing! She keeps me updated throughout the day with updates and pictures and Atlas absolutely loves her! He is always without fail so tired when we get back so I know he’s been getting lots of walks! Will 100% continue booking with Tasha to look after Atlas again in the future :)

Lauren was an absolute star looking after our Staffie for a week from 1st January. She turned up on time, gave us regular updates and looked after our doggie and home with great care, even though she became very poorly herself during the stay. Others may have left us in the lurch but Lauren stayed, despite feeling ill, and we deeply appreciated that. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lauren to others, apart from wanting to keep her a secret so we can book her again!

We just had Lilli stay at our house while we were away on honeymoon for 11 days. She is absolutely fantastic! Our Staffie absolutely adores her and he was really well looked after, as was the house. In fact I think the house was cleaner when we got back than when we left it! I cannot recommend Lilli highly enough, although part of me wants to keep her a secret so she doesn’t get too booked up…

Grace was a wonderful cat sitter for our two kitties, who obviously bonded very well, as Grace sent us photos and a video of them all enjoying playtime together. Grace cared for the cats beautifully and our house was left spotless! I would have no hesitation in recommending Grace as a cat-sitter, she is a lovely, kind girl who kept us well updated. A 5-star sitter! Brilliant!

Jade was brilliant - came to do a quick meet and greet with us and our dog which made us relax as naturally the first time can be a bit of a worry. Jade kept us informed, kept the house very tidy and was a pleasure to work with - we'll definitely use her again!

Rebecca is reliable and very professional. She is very caring in her approach to animals and our dogs were very relaxed when she looked after them. I was able to attend a wedding without any worries about how the dogs would be, knowing that she would put their needs first. I would have no hesitation in asking her to look after Toby and Lola in the future.
