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!

Simona looked after Pandora beautifully. She spent time with our kitty and ensured she was fed, watered and brushed. Communication was great and Pandora seemed happy when I returned from holiday. I am grateful for this service as have never felt comfortable with putting Pandora in a cattery. Thanks again!

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, mainly working with large breeds and hybrids. I started a local walking group in 2021, the Walshes Wolf pack, soon after getting my now 5yr old puppy, 'Shadow' an energetic, pedigree Alaskan Malamute. With him by my side and a few amazing owners of exotic and large breed dogs we bonded together and started to show the local community the power of a pack! I went to the Open Study College and got my degree in Canine Studies in 2023, along with qualifications in canine first aid, CPR and Emotional Support Therapies, working along side local charities. Located in Hastings at the time I set up my training school, Lead By Example Canine College. Offering affordable support and training to all dogs and owners regardless of ability or circumstance. My partner Lucy is a self taught and experienced expert in Canine Hospitality. Her calming presence and skills provide any dog liable to anxieties whilst owners are away, she provides ultimate comfort and reassurance that your pets will be treated in the appropriate way to come back to a happy Dog. Since moving back to Crowborough from Hastings for personal reasons I've had to take a step back from hands-on training. Re-branding to dog sitting, walking and group therapy. Whilst I Undertake my further education. Will you join the pack? I'm currently freelance as I am studying further for a Degree in Canine Science and Nutrition, so am free to sit pretty much daily as I can squeeze in study time whilst on the job Lucy is available to help us at the Start of any service to help the transition of 'New faces' and the potential anxieties your dogs may face during your temporary absence. If a dog is struggling during this period, she will be able to assist us when and if necessary. I am acquainted in all areas of canine needs, routines and discipline, be it from crate training to simple time outs. Whilst studying the 'tail talk' of canines and their many traits. I can immediately identify concerns and behaviours, correcting them appropriately and swiftly with the utmost professionalism. Between myself and Lucy, we can confidently reassure you that we are the perfect team for any service and additional needs you may require of us for your pet to have the most seamless, comfortable experience. No matter the age or condition, from puppy to senior, rescue and working and those whom may need that little bit extra support!

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 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 ☺️

About: Hello! I'm Frankie, 52, 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.

About: I currently run my own pet care and dog walking business and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve been trusted by regular clients to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I’m confident handling everything from energetic pullers to calm companions. I’m especially comfortable working with nervous or anxious dogs and take a patient, gentle approach to help them feel safe and secure. I understand that every dog is different and I adapt my care to suit their individual needs, routines, and comfort levels. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. As I already have established clients through my own dog walking business, my availability for walks can vary depending on the day. I’m always happy to discuss schedules in advance to see if I’m a good fit for your needs. While I’m flexible with drop-ins and walks, I’m unable to stay overnight in clients’ homes. My goal is to be upfront and reliable so owners know exactly what to expect. our pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first. I provide a calm, structured, and caring environment and closely follow any instructions you provide regarding routines, feeding, and care. I have two school-aged children in my home, so for safety reasons I can only accept dogs who are proven to be safe and comfortable around children. A meet and greet is required before accepting any new bookings to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone. I’m attentive to behavior cues, energy levels, and stress signals especially with nervous dogs and take a calm, reassuring approach to help them settle in and feel at ease.

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.

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!

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 😀
