“Danielle was amazing! She was very attentive to detail when taking care of my sweet girl Lola. If she wasn’t sure about something would always send a message to check to ensure Lola was getting what she needed. Very responsible!”
“Natasha was perfect cat sitter while we were away for the week. Both cats very happy when we returned. Great updates and pictures and even went above and beyond by taking in numerous deliveries and putting bins in and out while we were away. Thank you so much. Excellent service and will def use again 😊.”
About: Hello! I'm Frankie and I live in St Leonards, just a short walk from the beach. I'm a mum of two teenagers who are now busy living their own lives, which means my home is a little quieter these days. I work from home as a Brand and Creative Manager for St John Ambulance, and I'd love some canine company during the week. Dogs have always been part of my life. Growing up we had family dogs, and as an adult I've owned a Labrador and spent plenty of time around Bearded Collies, Staffies and Jack Russells. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I live in a garden flat with a secure enclosed garden, and because I mostly work from home I can easily fit in two or three walks a day. I'm also looking for an excuse to spend more time outdoors, so your dog will definitely not be short of exercise, attention or affection. My home is very much a dog friendly home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa for cuddles and company while I work or watch TV in the evenings. I'll happily follow any routines, feeding schedules or house rules that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. I usually travel to London one day a week for work, but this is flexible and can be arranged around bookings if needed. I'm not quite ready to commit to having a dog of my own again, but I miss having dogs around enormously. Looking after other people's dogs feels like the perfect solution. If you're looking for someone reliable, experienced and genuinely delighted to spend time with your dog, I'd love to hear from you ❤️ I work from home most of the week as a Brand and Creative Manager for St John Ambulance, so I'm around for company, feeding, toilet breaks and walks throughout the day. I usually travel into London one day a week, but this is flexible and can be planned around bookings where needed. Outside of that, I have plenty of time for pets and can comfortably fit in two or three walks a day for dogs. My own children are teenagers and rarely at home now, so I have the time, space and energy to give visiting pets lots of attention and companionship. I live in a ground floor garden flat in St Leonards with a secure enclosed garden and plenty of nearby walking routes, including the seafront. Pets are welcome as part of the household and will be treated as members of the family rather than left on their own all day. I've lived with dogs for most of my life, including Labradors, Staffies, Bearded Collies and Jack Russells, and I'm comfortable following individual routines, feeding schedules and care instructions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing, sofa cuddles or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, settled and cared for while you're away. As a manager at St John Ambulance, reliability, responsibility and trust are a big part of my day to day life.
“This was a meeting to introduce Kimberley to Bertie dog and to explain his shorcomings! Kimberley arrived right on time and was charming and professional - I feel very happy about her looking after my old boy when I'm away for the day.”
“Couldn’t have asked for more. Shaunna went above and beyond to make sure I had updates on boots even doing an extra check in when he was out exploring during the visit time. Boots was very well looked after and I returned to a happy puss 🐈”
“Ben was recommended to me recently and I’ve got to say I’m so pleased. He popped in to check up on our Pup and gave her tonnes of fuss and played with her too, which is so much better than previous check ins I’ve had which have just been a tick box exercise. He even sent photos and you can see she was having a wonderful time with Ben! I will certainly be asking for Ben’s help again soon. Thanks!”
“I found Amy through this app as I am new to the area and needed a one off check in, she was great with my large GSD, she communicated well, kept me updated and put me at ease leaving my beloved pup for a day out. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I have always had cats or dogs in the household. It doesn’t feel like home without them. I have recently moved and am waiting for a good time before getting another pet. I am missing being around cats and dogs and would love to help out other people who need some support. I have always looked after family/friends animals. I have always been surrounded by animals, and they’ve been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past year, I’ve also had the chance to look after other people’s pets, which has been such a rewarding experience. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending time with them, I truly love caring for animals and making sure they feel happy and loved. I have plenty of time to spend with your little once. I can do most week days after 10. And am available some weekends after 10. I will care for every animal with love, patience, and attention, always making their safety my top priority. I create a warm and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed, happy, and well looked after. Building trust is just as important, I take the time to get to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and loving space where every pet feels at home.
“Ellie was amazing and took such good care of our two cats! We got nice photos every day and updates throughout. When we came back both cats were happy and content and we couldn't have asked for a better cat-sitter.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and care levels, from playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra attention. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, or bedtime rituals, to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m also experienced in administering medications, including oral and topical treatments, and can handle special care instructions for pets with medical needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’m dedicated to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to their unique needs. After leaving my corporate job to focus on what I love, I’m now fully available and flexible to fit your schedule for meetups, pickups/drop-offs, and your pet’s routine. Whether your pet thrives on outdoor adventures like long walks and park visits or prefers cozy indoor companionship, I’m here to provide the care and attention they need. I tailor every interaction to your pet’s comfort and personality, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you’re away! You know your pet best, so we’ll chat during the meet & greet about your pet’s specific quirks and needs! When caring for your pet, I prioritise safety and trust-building, taking extra care to get to know their personality and recall. If your pet typically goes off-lead, I can gradually introduce off-lead activities in secure environments once your pet and I have established a strong bond.
“Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including Irish Wolfhound crosses, Border Collies, Miniature Dachshunds, and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens and small animals, so I’m comfortable managing different routines and environments. Having recently relocated from Australia, I’m excited to share the care and attention I’ve always given my own pets with yours. I work partly online, which means I’m home for much of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structure. Whether your dog is a high-energy working breed needing long walks and mental stimulation, a puppy learning the ropes, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their individual needs. I’m confident with puppies and happy to reinforce basic training, boundaries, and positive routines. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Routine is extremely important to me. I aim to keep feeding, walking, playtime, and sleep schedules as close to normal as possible to ensure your pet feels secure and settled while you’re away. As a homeowner myself, I understand how valuable trust and reliability are. Your home and pets will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Mornings and evenings are structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I plan my work flexibly to ensure pets receive consistent attention if needed, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I can be a home body or out and about for puppy chinos. Walking to the local Cafe after a run in the park is one of my favourite hobbies, closely followed by a good book and a glass of wine by the fire. I really do just adapt to the needs of your pet :) . I prioritise maintaining the pet’s established routine to minimise stress. Feeding times, walks, play sessions, and medication schedules are followed carefully. I respect the home as if it were my own, keeping it clean, secure, and tidy. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, reinforcing basic training and positive habits, as well as administering oral medications for both dogs and cats. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive, with the goal of keeping pets happy, secure, and settled.
“This was our first time leaving our cats alone while going away on holiday, and Kas has been amazing and accommodating of our cats needs, reassuring us that they were happy and well looked after, with plenty of photos. Came back home to well fed, unbothered and happy cats!”
About: Having worked professionally with many different types of animals ranging from primates, reptiles, aquatic animals to all kinds of family pets. I feel it has given me the ability to adapt to the needs of the various individual personalities and different types of animals. I am currently working with aquatic animals and reptiles part time with very flexible hours leaving me available for consideration of your animals care. Growing up with dogs and cats I was always surrounded by animals so I understand the love and care that is needed and how important your animals are and how vital their happiness will be to you. I am an enthusiastic person with love and compassion for animals and I look forward to being considered in caring for your pet. I am currently working free-lance which means I have flexable availability. I am available for house sitting, dog walking and drop ins for your pets. I can fully take care of your pets in your home and I will adapt to their enviromental needs. I can walk your dogs or drop in on your animals.
About: I am a registered veterinary nurse with years of experience fostering rescue dogs. I am especially confident with large breed and senior dogs. I work from home so can provide constant care and company for your best friend! Registered Veterinary Nurse (BSc Veterinary Nursing), C-SQP. Worked for several years at Battersea Dogs & Cats home in both the fostering department and clinic team. I work from home so can provide constant care, cuddles and attention for your doggy friend. I also have a lot of experience training puppies so your doggo might come back with a few new tricks! I am a prolific dog foster carer (48 so far!) for this reason I do not have any pets of my own to allow space for providing a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. For safety reasons I never have dogs unknown to each other in the home. As an RCVS Registered Veterinary Nurse and C-SQP I am comfortable administering medication from tablets, to ear drops and injections.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with chickens horses dogs and cats. I currently have a tabby cat called Milo and a Cockapoo called Buddy, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels and routines. I’m friendly, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s long walks, company during the day or keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I have completed DBS checks as part of previous employment. I understand the importance of caring for both pets and owners’ homes responsibly, and I always aim to provide a safe, dependable and friendly service. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine as I have both a dog and a cat myself. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime and giving pets attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy being outdoors and active, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than a chore. I’m flexible during the week and happy to work around pets’ usual routines to help them feel comfortable and settled. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality and any special requirements they may have. In a pet owner’s home, I would respect their space, follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for reassurance too. Safety, patience and kindness are always my priority.🐾

Hastings cat owners share their Rover experiences
Sam very kindly came over to meet the cats ahead of the booking. This was much appreciated as I was able to see how the all reacted to each other. Whilst we were away, Sam shared daily photos and updates and asked for clarification when instructions were unclear, which I really liked. Thank you!
Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.
I cannot recommend Holly enough! She was absolutely incredible with my two cats from start to finish. She was so attentive, genuinely engaged with them during playtime, and even brought toys to keep them entertained and happy. It was clear she really cared about them and took the time to understand their personalities and needs. Her communication was excellent throughout,I received regular photo and video updates which honestly helped so much when I was missing them. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and so well looked after. She was reliable, thoughtful, and professional the entire time, and I never once had to worry while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she gave them and would absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat ☺️
Eleanor was brilliant - we had only just moved back to Hastings, and were promptly off on a trip across the other side of the world, so were a little worried about our two furry friends. We needn’t have been - Eleanor checked in every day with feeding and picture updates, and she clearly bonded with our two cats. Would highly recommend!
Shauna came to visit my boys while I was away for the day. She gave me a full detailed update with some gorgeous photos, fed them, cleaned their litter tray and made sure they had plenty of playtime. The whole experience was completely stress free and I felt totally reassured that my boys were in good hands.
Anna took care of my wild, timid, just doesn't want to be in the vicinity of humans cat whilst I was away for 10 days. She totally understood the assignment, just making sure he was fed, watered, clean and alive for me during this time - important as forcing contact will set back progress on gaining trust. Happy, will be booking with Anna again in future 😀
