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 have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“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!”


About: Hello! I'm Jess, a friendly and attentive dog sitter based in Hastings. I've been a lifelong dog lover, having had dogs in my family since the day I was born - including growing up with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Over the years, I've looked after dogs of all kinds for friends and family who rely on me to give their pets the highest standard of care. Having raised pups as well as caring for one of my own dogs through to the age of 16, I understand care needs at every stage of life. Whether your dog is a playful, high-energy pup who loves long walks or a gentle senior who prefers slow strolls and chill nap times, I tailor my routine entirely around their needs. I specialise in weekend house sitting and dog walking, coming directly to your home so your dog can stay relaxed in their own comfortable, familiar environment while you're away. I am always happy to keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you know your pup is safe, happy, and well-cared for. Feel free to reach out with any questions - I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work full-time during the week, making weekends my main focus for pet care! I am fully available Friday evening through Sunday for weekend house sitting, overnight care, and dog walking. Depending on my work hours, I can also potentially accommodate weekday evening walks or check-ins. Because my weekends are entirely dedicated to dog sitting, your pup will get my full, undivided attention! I want your dog to feel like their regular routine hasn't changed at all while you're away! I always like to learn about their usual habits beforehand, so please feel free to share their feeding schedule, healthcare needs, favourite walking spots, or any fun quirks. I treat every owner's home with complete respect, strictly following your security and care instructions, and send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your weekend with complete peace of mind!
“Amazing! Sam gave amazing photo updates and made sure she knew everything about the cats that she could! They loved her! They took to her immediately when she came to meet them and they can be rather reluctant to approach new people usually! ”

About: I’ve had previous and current family dogs, including a basset-spaniel cross and a cocker spaniel. I’ve walked a variety of breeds before, including cockerpoos, spaniels, a Labrador, an husky cross and an Irish greyhound. Over the past year I’ve been a daily weekday walker for a local senior cockerpoo, age 14 bless him but he had the energy of a puppy! I’ve sat spaniels and Irish greyhound dogs in my home. A bit about me; I’m reliable and trustworthy, considerate and attentive, absolutely love animals, exploring new places and going out running. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I can provide ad-hoc walking and sitting services around my commitments as a post graduate student at present. This can include weekdays and weekends. I do not provide boarding services, however for sitting services I am responsible, have respect for your home environment and understand that safety and trust are key to nurturing a positive relationship with you and your beloved pet. I will maintain continuity with your dog’s routine, follow your guidance in relation to specific needs and most of all, provide exercise and companionship for your pup.

I am very energetic and love walking, also very patient and love cuddles with my furry friens I only work part time now so have lots spare time to build my business of looking after animals. I can also do weekends and some evenings if needed I would ask the customer how they want there pet looked after and stick to there instructions and routine. I would also give lots of love and care
“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: 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. Daily Photo and videos will be sent to the owner to “settle your emotion for your fury baby”😊 Most times We have people at home, we have a restaurant which is fully staff operated, only needs to manage remotely and occasionally pop in to the old town to make sure everything is running smoothly. 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.
About: I’ve spent many years caring for all kinds of animals and have always had dogs in my life. Now I have my own two boys, Tomas and Archie, who are well behaved, friendly, and a joy to be around. As an early riser working from home, I make sure they enjoy a good morning walk, another in the evening, and plenty of breaks and attention throughout the day. I love creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for pets in my care. I work full time from home, four days a week, with Wednesdays off and weekends free. I enjoy taking regular walks with my dogs, whether it’s along the beach or through the local woods, giving them plenty of fresh air and exercise. My boys are on a raw food diet and are well-trained, friendly, and easy going. They get along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making for a calm and happy environment. I’m also happy to care for your pet in a crate if needed or preferred, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after.

“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: 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.🐾
About: My family have had dogs since before I was born, and growing up I have always taken on responsibilities looking after them! Whether that be walking, feeding, playing, or cuddling, I am ready and willing. I am confident with dogs of all ages and sizes, and ready to be their companion when you aren't able. I am currently a University student who is back for the summer. Because of this, I am free most days, at any point, and am able to stay in the pet owners home as needed. I will communicate with the pet owner as to what a normal routine looks like for the dog or cat and try to emulate this as much as possible to keep the pet comfortable. I need to know details such as how the pet is around other dogs and animals, what kind of walks do they go on. The top priority is the dog, and that they remain happy and healthy which is why I would prefer to meet the dog and owner beforehand, just to ensure that everyone goes into the service ready and comfortable.
“Mila had looked after my 2 cats twice and has been fantastic! She videos her arrival and when she leaves, sends lots of reassuring messages and photos. She clearly loves animals and is kind and gentle with them. My cats are both rescues and extremely scared of new people but were very relaxed around Mila. I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, my name is Kathy. Are you looking for someone to walk your dog or board them while you're away? Well, look no further! I'm located in the heart of TN35, with the beach or country park only 10 minutes away, and the East Hill 5 minutes away - perfect for most dog walks. I'm also flexible if your dog is not happy on the beach or around other dogs. I'm happy to adapt to them and provide a safe, enjoyable walk alternative locations. I currently have no other pets. Sadly, my own staffie cross, Buster, passed away last year due to an age-related tumour. This means your pup would have all of my love and attention. I can offer your dog a safe, secure, clean, loving environment, however long or short their stay. With fantastic walks to the beach, East Hill, and country parks, there's endless fun to be had. My home has plenty of room and a secure garden. I drive, so I can collect and drop off if required. A bit about me - I have recently left my long-term job in charity retail to pursue working with dogs, as working with dogs has always been a dream of mine. I have tons of experience with dogs. I was a member of the Southern County Bull Terrier Society for many years. I have owned dogs all my life, mainly staffies, however, we have had many other dog breeds within the family. I am confident and responsible around dogs, and I'm happy to help with some basic dog training. I am happy to accommodate dogs of all ages. If you have any special requirements, medical needs, or further questions, please don't hesitate to message me. I have plenty of time to care ,walk and play with your furry babies. Having recently left retail after 28 years I can now devote my time to this. I am available throughout the week and weekens for doggy day care and doggy walks...short or long. I have a fenced garden and no other pets. I can offer space for up to two dogs at a time in a clean, safe , loving environment.
“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 been looking after pretty kitties for 4 years! You will definitely receive 100s of photos of your cats all of the time :) I am currently at university looking to make some extra money to cover my costs! If it is just checking in and feeding I would prefer when it is light :) I have my own cat so I understand pets deserve space and time to settle into meeting new people! My cat is very timid so I will try my best not to overwhelm as I understand how they feel! Of course if your pet is very friendly I am more than happy to shower your furry friend in love! I can clean litter trays, wash up pet dishes and provide pill medication if needed.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Hastings is £12

Mila had looked after my 2 cats twice and has been fantastic! She videos her arrival and when she leaves, sends lots of reassuring messages and photos. She clearly loves animals and is kind and gentle with them. My cats are both rescues and extremely scared of new people but were very relaxed around Mila. I would highly recommend her!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.

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!

Tzarina has now done a couple of meet and greet with my 2 rescue dogs. Because one of my dogs can be reactive to people we needed a few. Tzarina has been brilliant and is confident around Pickle which I thinks helps massively and is very knowledgeable. Both Lilo and Pickle like her. I have not yet booked a sit but I am sure it will in the very near future. Thank you ☺️

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.
