Pet Sitting Hastings

“Both our cats warmed really quickly to Sam and were really happy when we came home! It’s made us feel a lot more confident to go away and leave them in her care again. Thank you! ”

“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: 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.

“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: 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.

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

About: I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats (and various other small pets) from the age of 3 and have enjoyed dog walking and pet sitting ever since. Since moving to my own home with a fenced garden, now I want to make it official. I work from home most days and my schedule is up to date. I’m reliable and will always respond quickly. It’s important to me you know your pet is safe, loved, and cared for. Just as they would be with you. I’ll send you photos of how we’re getting on for your reassurance. I’ll make time for you to let me know what makes your pet tick and can flex to all personalities. From senior dogs, to nervous ones, high energy to lone wolves - I’ve got you covered. I work from home most of the time. I like to get out for a walk in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. But I can flex this depending on what your dog needs. I update my schedule regularly to make sure you know when I’m free. I’m available for day time visits during my lunch break at your house too. Your dog will be an only child at my house! I have a fenced garden and live near to a country park for long walks, and near the seafront for shorter (or longer!) ones. I adore dogs so they can expect a lot of love and cuddles but I will always follow your instructions. If you’re training them, let me know - I can help your dog practice.

“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 grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend.

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: I have a lovely senior dog of my own, a rescue that I have had for 10 years. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have also worked with horses at a horse riding school. I love animals and I have lots of experience in caring for them. Im a tattooist/creative and I’m currently working on a creative writing project at home so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of work schedule and location. I will be offering caring for your pets in your own home, visits in your own home or walks. I have worked in hospitality for over ten years while I was studying social work, now I’m a social worker but I’m taking time off while I do some writing. I will take care of your home just like I would take care of the venue at my hospitality jobs.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

About: Hi! I’m a recent new graduate from vet school and in the meantime am looking to help my community before I start working! I helped raise my family dog from the age of 8 and as I have grown older have helped care for dogs and cats of all ages! Since I have experience working in a veterinary hospital setting I am capable of handling and caring for kittens, puppies, senior pets and any age in between. I also have 10 years experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering. No dog or cat is too big or too small for my heart ! Please note the summer can be quite hectic for me at the moment so I do my best to update my availability calendar ! I have recently finished my degree as a vet student and am waiting to graduate. I am currently available to help outside of weekends mainly before I start working as a vet. I try to update my calendar availability as soon as I can. I apologize if you reach out and I can’t be of assistance in advance ! The only service I do not offer is bringing the pet to my home. All other ROVER services are on the table and I try to care for your pet just as you would! I have no problem with walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, or any other needs your pet may have. Let me make you feel comfortable with leaving your furry family member with me for a while! I also am okay with meet and greets beforehand if necessary.

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.

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.🐾

“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 ☺️”
