House Sitting Hastings

“Samantha was fantastic, I would not hesitate to book her again to watch my Bubbles. Communication was great, she understood my dog and his needs, allowing him the space and time for him to get used to her, which didn't take long. She has an excellent understanding of dogs and their needs and personality quirks. I felt very comfortable having her stay in my home with my dog and enjoyed seeing many pictures and videos of how they spent time together. If you want to get away and not worry about how your furry family member is doing, book with Samantha.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos! Don’t hesitate to message me, Della 😊 I work full time so weekdays I'm available for evening dog walks/ drop in visits (5pm onwards) At the weekends I am able to provide all day care or they can board from Friday evenings right the way through the weekend. We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.

About: l've always had a love for animals and have years of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have two dogs, Tomas and Archie, who are my world! They're friendly, well behaved, and love making new friends. I know how important it is to create a safe, happy, and loving environment - that's exactly what I offer for your pets. I work from home four days a week, with Wednesdays off and weekends free. You'll usually find me out and about with the dogs - beach walks, exploring the woods, and plenty of fresh air and fun! My boys are on a raw food diet, well trained, friendly, great with dogs, cats and children, crate trained, calm, confident and used to all sorts!🐶🙂

“Natalie is an awesome sitter. She looked after our new puppy and was super helpful, professional and trustworthy - we felt totally at ease knowing our pup was in excellent hands and she gave us regular updates throughout the day. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pup!”

About: I grew up with a passion of wanting to work with animals as a veterinary nurse, volunteering at local vets and animal rescues as a teenager. I'm now an NHS professional, with a love for animals still wanting to do something on the side of my full-time job. I grew up with a cat and dogs and other furry critters, have owned my own since including my little scaly friend who is a Crested Gecko. I've made doggy friends through friends who have been on Rover and am now wanting to make my own! I work full time as an NHS professional, so while my availability can be limited I also have varying days off and occassional free weekends as well as evenings. I live with two dogs owned by my friends who have also become my companions. I'm a versatile person who likes to match the energy of others, so whether your pet needs someone hyperactive to play and run with or someone calm and lazy to take a steady walk and cuddle with, or maybe a hands-off approach, I can tailor to that. I have personal experience of owning a rescue/reactive dog in the past so can also be understanding to these circumstances

“All I can say is amazing! Hollie is a very caring and organised dog sitter. Our Jack Russell is quite a nervous dog but Hollie soon made her feel relaxed. The photos were adorable! Hollie left our house in an immaculate state. We will definitely rely be using her again and can highly recommend her.”

“I’ve never employed a sitter for my lovely hairy girls before. I’m with them all the time and they can have terrible separation anxiety. Amy is very calm and sensible. I had numerous reassuring messages from Amy throughout the day and pictures of my 2 happy dogs. I came in to find them happy with lights left on for them so that if I arrived home after dark, they wouldn’t be left in a dark room. So pleased with Amy, really lovely girl. Trustworthy and kind. It’s all you need! Happy dogs, happy owner.”

About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs and cats and absolutely love spending time with animals.

I work from home most of the week, apart from Wednesdays when I go into the office. This means I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I can provide morning and evening walks, as well as playtime, cuddles and lots of company throughout the day. I also have a large, secure field attached to my house, which means I can take dogs out on my lunch break for some extra exercise, running around and exploring. Working from home means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to fit their care around my daily routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and make sure they get all the exercise, attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities.

I’ll always make sure doors, gates and outdoor areas are secure and will never take unnecessary risks with your pet.

About: I've looked after dogs, cats, farm animals and other since I was a teenager (20+ yr experience). I've helped train puppies as well as caring for senior dogs and have had my own beautiful family of dogs ranging from larger dogs to tiny ones. All animals are different, generally the main theme is providing safety, fun, attention and care. I'm currently on a career break (a little over a decade running operations in London start ups) so I have flexible availability. I have a car, spend a lot of time outdoors and am generally quite relaxed. I follow any instruction given to keep both the pet and the home safe and cared for. At my own home, I have two lifts to access the floor (no stairs for senior dogs), windows are up high and kept on a Pendlay lock.

“I chose Hollie because she has cats of her own and, on meeting Ariel, immediately made friends. Hollie was terrific, sending me little videos of Ariel during their time together and communication was top notch. I will definitely use her again.”

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.

“Mila was absolutely wonderful with Tails! We came back to a very happy dog. Will be rebooking the next time we go away! 100/10”

“We came home to two very happy and relaxed cats after Kasia looked after them for three days. We opted for house sitting as opposed to pop in visits and what a difference it made to our furry babies! They had obviously been really glad to have their regular daily routine undisturbed as well as the company, strokes, cuddles and games they got from Kasia who followed our instructions really well and left our house in perfect condition. Our cats warmed to her really quickly which was a great sign as they are both quite sensitive and we got updates and photos on a daily basis making us feel relaxed and confident that they were in good hands. We would highly recommend Kasia as she was reliable and trustworthy with an obvious flare for bonding quickly with other peoples pets. Thank you Kasia 😻”

“Couldn't be happier with Jake. He is very friendly, warm and welcoming. The dogs absolutely loved him. He was very communicative and sent regular updates. Very happy with Jake and highly recommend.”

“I can’t recommend Chloe highly enough! She was great with communication, always responding promptly and shared updates during her stay. She had a good sense of how to interact with my sensitive giant-breed dog, and he warmed up to her quickly. Chloe followed all my instructions and I came home to a happy dog :) Really appreciate the great care!”
