About: We have a standard poodle in the family, she is pretty much the centre of the family. Our children love her and the best friends of her. Over the years, we always have animal with us ,dog , cat, at the moment we still have 3 chicken in the garden. We walk the dog twice a day in the woods or in the open fields. Happy to answer any enquires. We will treat your dog as part of the family, as we all know our fury friends are family members.

I have a fenced garden to make sure dog and chicken in the safe environment. There are two or three big fields and park nearby, will also make sure dogs have plenty exercise.
“Madalyn truly loves dogs and my boy feels very comfortable with her and her pooches. After the first day, he had such a wonderful time that he now drags me to the door and toddles off to play with his new best friends and snuggle Madalyn. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in a home surrounded by happy, well-looked-after dogs, and treated as part of the family rather than just a booking. I got regular updates, photos, and could see how relaxed and content he was the whole time. It’s obvious that Madalyn understands dog behaviour and goes above and beyond to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about dogs, this is the perfect place. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: I love dogs with all my heart, I worked as a dog groomer and dog walkers in my 20s it was the best job. Last year my best friend Missy my fox terrier passed away after 13 years of being by my side, since then I have been looking after friends dogs and my families pets. I miss having a companion but not quite ready to commit. I live by the sea in St leonards, 2 mins from the beach and I have a garden, your dog would have the best time. I work in London so happy to meet you and you dog in London or happy for you to travel down, whatever is easiest. Open to all types of overnight stays. I have experience with puppies, training and caring for elderly dogs. Let me know if you have any questions. I work 2 days a week, mainly I work from home but go to the office occasionally. If I was to have your dog I would wfh. They would have regular toilet breaks in my garden.I wake up early, I love to be outside, I love adventures on the beach and miss having a dog to do this with. I have a number of parks nearby too. I am flexible in pretty much every way and happy to send regular updates and pictures. I have a garden but not fenced I would only have your dog on a lead here. I am easy in my apartment, ground floor, so no steps. Happy for dogs to be on furniture depending on your training and rules. I know consistency is key. I live alone, I own my flat.
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 Project 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 an 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.
About: I’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle. Looking after my dog over the years has given me a strong understanding of pet care; including feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, administering routines; and recognizing changes in behavior and wellbeing. My professional background has helped me develop excellent observations, communication and caregiving skills. I am trained to be patient, attentive, responsible, and focused on safety, all of which are valuable when caring for pets. I pay close attention to individual needs and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and creating a calm environment. I am confident caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. including senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle exercise, and closer monitoring. I enjoy providing both physical activity and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of personal dog ownership experience, professional caring skills, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family members, and I will treat your furry friend with the same care, respect, and affection that i give my own dog!💗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, cleaning litter trays, and giving pets attention and playtime. I enjoy creating a calm and comfortable environment so cats feel relaxed while their owners are away. I’m organised and reliable, so I always make sure pets are cared for on time and according to their usual routine. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding at the right times, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays thoroughly, and spending quality time playing or giving attention. I’m always respectful of the owner’s home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Matthew and Tony were excellent! Incredibly flexible with a short notice booking, early start time and a pick up time based on a hospital appointment. Trixie had a brilliant time, lots of running and playing chase. Matthew put her at ease really quickly and dealt with a sensitive dog really well. I would highly recommend Matthew, and I will 100% use him again.”
“These guys were brilliant with our dog. Really went out of their way to help our dog get settled, met beforehand to check the dogs got on, and walked to the house together too on the day again to help our dog settle. Definitely recommend them :)”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from hamsters to horses—and caring for them is second nature to me. I’m a passionate pet lover and proud pet parent to a friendly Labrador and a sweet, cuddly cat. Both are well-behaved, well socialised and great with other animals. I live in a pet-loving household with two young children who adore animals. While they won’t be involved in the care of your pet, they’ll be around to offer some supervised love and attention—perfect for pets who enjoy extra cuddles! Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of family and friends, and now I’m excited to welcome your furry companion into our home. I have experience with puppies and have personally trained my Labrador, attending puppy training and pet first aid courses to ensure I’m prepared for a variety of needs. Whether it’s a stay at our home or a daily walk, your pet will be treated like family. I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. Long walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of affection are all part of the package! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! I work from home a few days a week in the emergency services, and my husband works from home as well. So I’m home often and able to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have two wonderful children who absolutely adore animals, and while they won’t be involved in pet care, they love offering supervised affection and cuddles. I'm very active and enjoy both short and long walks with our Labrador, so your animals will get plenty of exercise and playtime. I'm well-prepared for all kinds of weather—rain or shine—and have a variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I have a spacious four-bedroom home with a fully fenced, large secure garden—perfect for safe outdoor play and exploration. Pets are welcome to make themselves fully at home here, with full access to the entire home. If your pet enjoys extra snuggles, they’re more than welcome on the bed for cozy cuddle time! The back door is usually open during the day, allowing pets the freedom to move between indoors and outdoors as they please.

“I've never felt so at ease so fast with people looking after our lovely friendly Elsie. The love and care is so visible across all our messages, in person interactions and the lovely photos Bethany shared of Elsie spending the day at their home. Elsie was, unsurprisingly, livid at me taking her home. I look forward to Elsie's future visits ❤️”
“Bethany understood how my separation anxiety was worse than Murphy's. She gave me regular updates during the day, which made me feel at ease. Murphy had many walks and enjoyed the dog friendly cafe. I'll definitely use Bethany again, for sure! Thank you Bethany! xx”
“Samantha looked after our rather anxious older whippet for us whilst we visited Hastings. We dropped our whippet off and were pleased from the start as Samantha greeted our whippet (and us) quietly and calmly. Her home also reflected this - a calm, comfortable, pet friendly space. She asked good questions about our pet and her habits, and introduced her own dog later on when ours had had a chance to settle in. She is obviously an experienced, gentle and knowledgeable dog person. If we visit Hastings again we would not hesitate to book Samantha to look after our beloved wee dog.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Hastings is £28

Nawal took such beautiful care of Pablo. He’s a gigantic high energy puppy who can be a handful when he’s bored, but she was completely unphased, gave him loads of exercise, mental stimulation and love, and shared photos and updates with us all day so we felt totally at ease. She has magical calm energy, and is a genuine animal lover. Pablo didn’t want to leave!
Matthew and Tony were excellent! Incredibly flexible with a short notice booking, early start time and a pick up time based on a hospital appointment. Trixie had a brilliant time, lots of running and playing chase. Matthew put her at ease really quickly and dealt with a sensitive dog really well. I would highly recommend Matthew, and I will 100% use him again.
Tsarina was so great! The original communication was really fast and they answered all of our questions. We also were impressed with the Google form and how organised and well thought out it was. Spud was a little overtired from a long journey and they handled him brilliantly. Would definitely recommend!
Madalyn truly loves dogs and my boy feels very comfortable with her and her pooches. After the first day, he had such a wonderful time that he now drags me to the door and toddles off to play with his new best friends and snuggle Madalyn. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in a home surrounded by happy, well-looked-after dogs, and treated as part of the family rather than just a booking. I got regular updates, photos, and could see how relaxed and content he was the whole time.

If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about dogs, this is the perfect place. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

From the moment I dropped Hector off with Daniel,Alida and of course not forgetting George I felt at ease.not only are they all warm and welcoming (I am a very nervous dog mum ) but they keep you informed throughout the day which really helps . I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone that needs someone to look after there pets .When I dropped hector off on the second day he ran to the door and was excited and that is a definite recommendation from him as well !
Jordie has looked after my whippet Bailey twice now and taken great care of him. Jordie is friendly, welcoming and understanding of dogs' needs. Bailey has returned both times very happy and calm and I'm more than happy for him to stay with Jordie again. Thanks.
Amy clearly had a fantastic time with Shaunna and her dog Shadow, including what looked like an amazing day out at a doggy splash pad. She came home a very tired and happy dog. Shaunna clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs. We hope to go back.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Hastings
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hastings on Rover is £32.2 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,153 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Hastings. About 84% of Hastings sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Hastings commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
