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. Completed Pet First Aid L2 (VTQ) Training with ProTrainings.UK renewal date 5 July 2029. 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.

“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!”

“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 😊”

“We were very happy we asked Natasha to care for Daffy while we were away. Natasha took time to understand her needs, sent some pictures and messages about how she was, and Daffy was clearly happy. The house was also well looked after. We would use Natasha again.”

“Winnie and Cooper absolutely LOVED their time with Morgan! She kept us updated with pics and videos of how they were doing regularly and made sure to keep the dogs super engaged throughout her whole stay. She was fantastic with both of them and also made sure to be super respectful of our house too. Would defo recommend Morgan”

“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!”

“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!”


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.
“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!”

“I would thoroughly recommend Alice for house sitting your pets. Alice came to the house prior to us going on holiday to meet the dogs. I received photos whilst we were away and updates twice a day which was very reassuring and I would not hesitate to book Alice if she wanted to look after the dogs again”


About: I have 4 years of experience as a dog sitter and a lifelong love and understanding of dogs, having lived with them since childhood. I am confident in caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and routines, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, walks and reassurance. I am also confident in supporting senior dogs, including those who may need a slower pace, extra patience, gentle handling, medication reminders or additional comfort. I understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining routines and creating a peaceful home environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. 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: PLEASE MESSAGE FOR A QUITE ON PRICE. I’ve had a large dog within my family since I was 12 and I’ve loved helping train and look after her. During this time I have dog sat at many of my friends and families houses for short and long periods of time! I have also walked many different types of dogs and love getting to know each and everyone one of them!! I am currently a live in nanny so I have time during the day and some evenings to help walk some doggies! I will also have plenty of time on the weekends that I can work around my schedule! I am very adaptable and I love new experiences. I enjoy to take the time to get to know the dog and to create a bond / trust with them.
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 :)
“Tom was an excellent house sitter. He made the effort to come and meet and greet Juka before hand, took her for a walk, always turned up on time and left the work area nice and clean. Would recommend. Thanks again Tom.”

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, tailored walks or sending daily pupdates with photos, I go the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, happy and loved I work remotely, which means I can pet sit around my job with complete flexibility. Whether I’m caring for dogs or cats, I build my workday around their routine – from morning walks and playtime to feeding schedules and quiet company throughout the day. Since I can work from anywhere, I’m able to stay in your home making sure your pets feel safe, settled and never alone for long. Being at home means I’m always close by for attention, cuddles, or just a reassuring presence. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your routines closely – from feeding times and walk schedules to play sessions and cuddle preferences. I take care to respect your home, keeping things clean and tidy and always making sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved in their own space. Whether your cat likes quiet company or your dog needs active play, I adapt to their needs and personality. I also send regular updates with photos, so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away.

Natasha looked after our Boxer Willow for 7 days in June. Willow is a loving friendly dog who loves interaction with people but she can be a bit demanding! However, Natasha's calming influence soon won over and we had regular reassuring updates that Willow was relaxed and enjoying being looked after with friendly care. Our house was treated with utmost respect, and we returned to find a very contented Boxer dog. It would be a pleasure to ask Natasha to care for her on future occasions. Highly recommended. Maurice and Jacquie

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eastbourne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eastbourne on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,232 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eastbourne. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Eastbourne walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Eastbourne choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
