Pet Sitting in Hastings

“Amy's a cat whisperer. My feral, doesn't want to come out if her hiding place to see anyone but me was all over Amy purring her head off. And then didn't want to know me when I got home because she'd had her needs serviced.”

“Tzarina cared for our nervous ex-stray Romanian rescue while we were away and she couldn't have been a safer pair of hands. As well as getting photos and messages about Selkie throughout the weekend, she also hugely built Selkie's trust in strangers by being patient, calm and gentle. Selkie felt so at home and relaxed and snoozed all day, something she rarely does in other people's homes! I was so reassured to know that she was with someone so caring and compassionate towards dogs, as well as being experienced and knowledgeable enough to give her the proper care she needed. Her home has a great outdoor space for a dog, and she also took Selkie for walks along the seafront. I was so impressed and will definitely be booking with Tzarina again in the future when I go away!”

“Natalie is brilliant - my dog Maya loves staying with her and her dog who is so gentle and great with other dogs. Whenever Maya stays with them I always get loads updates and pictures of them having a great time on their walks and adventures!”

“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 😊.”

“Emily has looked after my Labrador (Dennis!) for the last 5 years and every time she has been professional, caring, loving and supportive especially as he grows a little older. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him and any dog who gets the pleasure of Emily looking after them is a lucky dog in my eyes! Always brilliant service and she is a credit to all dogs (and parents!) around. Thankyou!”

“I highly recommend Kathy, she has walked my dog Bruno on many occasions and has looked after him in her home several times. She is trustworthy, reliable and has a lovely way with dogs and people, my dog is always happy to see her and she takes excellent care of him.”

“Rachel looked after my two spaniels while I went away for two weeks. We received lots of updates and they had a lot of fun walks! I trust that Rachel will look after them as good as she looks after her own and would not hesitate to leave the spaniels with her again. Thank you so much, Rachel!”

“My wife and I have known Jane for over 25 years and have witnessed her taking care of and handling our dog Nelson and other people's dogs. On several occasions Jane has taken care of Nelson for the weekend. We would have no hesitation in asking her to care for a pet dog as she is trustworthy, reliable and has an excellent rapport with all types of dogs. Mike T”

Maddie provides lots of love, care and home from home cuddles, ensuring mealtimes are on time and grooming is actioned according to requirements! I do not hesitate to recommend Maddie and her ability to provide first class love and responsible caring for any animal”

About: We have both grown up with dogs in the household so are firm believers that a pet is part of the family. We love spending 'pack time' with our one year old Husky boy so whether we're exploring the countryside and parks, playing games or simply chilling out in the garden, you can be sure that there are plenty of sniffs and belly rubs to go around. Having a Husky in the pack makes for a lot of walking and we generally manage three to four good walks a day. That means I have a good opportunity to open up the pack to visitors when I am at home. Beowulf is super friendly and loves meeting other dogs and people while out and about, so the extra interaction would do him a world of good. Typical availability: Walks: Morning walks (before 9am) most days. Evening walks (after 5pm) most days. Longer daytime adventures on my days off (usually midweek) by arrangement. Drop ins: By arrangement, on my days off (usually midweek). Daycare: By arrangement, on my days off (usually midweek). My days off can vary so please do drop me a line and I'll do my best to accomodate drop-ins and daycare sessions! While out and about: I always walk on-lead, using a secure harness (where provided). This keeps your little monster safe and secure on a walk. If there are any special considerations to take into account, I will work with you to tailor a plan of action to ensure their safety and well being. For example, if they are wary of/reactive to other dogs, I'll keep a good distance and communicate with other walkers. If they have a tendency to pull, then I can incorporate basic heel training into the walk. On your turf: I will treat your home with respect and establish which doors are 'open' and which are 'closed'. I will work with you to establish dietary needs, alongside anything else I might need to know to ensure that your little monster and I get off to the best start! On my turf: Your dog will be treated as part of the pack from the moment they enter. Beowulf is always keen to make new friends, but depending on how your little monster tends to meet new dogs, we can stagger introductions, making sure everyone gets on well in a safe, secure manner, before letting them loose in the fenced garden to play. Outside of his main meals, I usually have a bowl of kibble on hand for Beowulf, but can keep this away if need be.

About: As a passionate animal lover growing up with SEVEN dogs, I have always been surrounded by animals. My experience includes regularly pet sitting for various homes worldwide. Recently, I cared for three dogs, including a 14-year-old Puggle with diabetes, managing her insulin injections, medication, and dietary plan. At my last pet sit, I looked after two dogs, one of which needed a strict dietary regimen and medication twice a day. I am clean, trustworthy, kind, and extremely reliable, ensuring your home and pet are safe and well cared for during my stay. Since I work remotely, I will always be around! I would be delighted to chat with you in person or via video call beforehand so you can get to know me better. Because I work remotely and set my own schedule, pet care naturally becomes a central part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pets will have plenty of attention, companionship, and timely care. Get in touch with the dates you’re looking for, and I’ll happily work with you! When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and care - keeping it clean, calm, and pet-safe at all times. I’m highly attentive to your pet’s routines, medications, and special needs, and I closely monitor doors, gates, and surroundings to ensure a secure environment. When pets stay in my home, they’ll enjoy a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with a securely fenced garden - perfect for safe outdoor play and relaxation.

“She is amazing with animals. Caring and absolutely brilliant. Cant fault anything on her. Best person i have had for my dog walk. Brilliant lady”

“Jennifer babysat my senior Yorkie Tomato a few times. Initially I was a bit worried because Tomato is wary of strangers however Jennifer knew how to approach him and he warmed up to her quickly. This really gave me peace of mind, knowing I wouldn't need to worry. She followed all my instructions well, i knew he was in safe hands and Tomato had such a great time with her! Jennifer has my highest recommendations!”

“Siddy is a very caring person, who loves animals. She is fully committed to her own dog, walking him for as much as he needs each day. I would trust her with my own animals, and indeed have done in the past, and they have always had a great time together. She is responsible, professional, and worth every penny!”

“Helen was amazing, helped us out very last minute in a hour of need. Thanks so much again Helen you are fab! X”

“Silvia is a natural with animals. Her kind nature is key. She has shown to have lots of experience with dogs in particular but she has also spent time with my 4 cats. My XL Bully Scarlett absolutely loves Silvia, they have spent lots of time together in different locations and Scarlett gets so excited when she sees her. I have seen them togerher several times and i could not be happier with the care Silvia provides. I would highly recommend Silvia, she is brilliant with animals! She is also utterly honest and is totally trust worthy.”
