Cat Sitting Hove

“After a successful couple of meet & greets, Beth’s first one hour visit seemed to go well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take time to warm up to new people. Although she wasn’t brave enough to approach Beth that day, she was comfortable and relaxed enough to have a snooze while she was there. Which shows that she isn’t overly worried about Beth, who didn’t try to push things too fast and went at Sookie’s pace, allowing her to feel that relaxed she could close her eyes. Very happy with Beth and her knowledge of handling nervous dogs.”

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including pets who need a calm and quiet environment. I have administered medication to cats and dogs and have experience caring for older pets with individual needs and routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, gentle companionship, medication, feeding or extra love, I’ll provide reliable and thoughtful care while following your instructions closely. I’m currently on sabbatical, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to dog and cat sitting. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible around each pet’s routine and individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make pet care a regular part of my day. I provide pet care exclusively in the owner’s home, so pets can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines closely, including feeding, walks, medication and any specific care instructions. I’m respectful of each home and take safety seriously, making sure doors, gates and pets are secure. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

I have good availability throughout the week and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets.

About: I grew up with 12 dogs at home and countless weekends spent at dog agility shows. This grew into a lifelong love of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've spent the past 10 years dog sitting and walking, through word-of-mouth recommendation, until someone suggested I join Rover! I am an easy going and naturally active person, so I love to take dogs on long walks, or take them socializing in cafes (if they like to!), and do basic trick training. I've experience with dogs of all sizes, from collies to GSD's and retired greyhounds to Chihuahuas. I'm a freelancer and part-time yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to spend with four legged friends, so you can be sure they get most of my attention! I plan my work around my pups, not the other way around. At mine: I have a dog friendly apartment on ground floor, no garden but quick access to St Annes garden OR Palmeria Square. I have room to set up a crate if that is your preference. I have enrichment toys and a dog bed here too. At yours: I will follow your preferred instructions! Walking: I always stay present with the dog, I don't walk with headphones in and I am mindful of distractions or the dog's personality. I am happy to follow your preference on walk type, length, and location (within radius!) Cafe socializing: if you would like your dog to spend time in cafes and socialise, I love this too! not all dogs enjoy this, some love it, so this is down to preference. Again, the dogs comfort and tolerance is my number one priority!

“Joey was great with Danny, he is reliable, confident and really understood Danny and his needs. I’m very happy that Danny has a new friend in Joey.”

“Johanna’s first two one hour visits with Sookie went really well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take a bit of time to warm up to new people. But with Johanna, she seemed to get very comfortable very quickly. Approaching her, choosing to lie near her, and having a snooze. And then on the second visit she put her head on her legs! Johanna has taken things at Sookie’s pace and my dog has quickly felt safe and happy with her.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since childhood and have spent many years helping care for dogs belonging to friends and family. Over the last 10+ years I’ve regularly helped with walking, feeding, company and general care, and I genuinely love being around animals. I work from home part of the week, which means I can offer dogs plenty of attention, companionship and regular walks throughout the day. I understand how important trust and reliability are when leaving your pet with someone, and I always aim to provide a calm, caring and safe environment where dogs feel comfortable and well looked after. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine closely and can provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, spending 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home each week. My work-from-home days are flexible rather than fixed, which allows me to be accommodating where possible. I work Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm, and can also offer some evening and weekend availability with advance notice. While I don’t have a garden, I live in a spacious and comfortable flat in Hove, just a 5-minute walk from Hove Lawns and the beach. This means your pet will still enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise and lovely walks in a relaxed seaside setting. I always aim to provide a calm, caring and comfortable environment where pets feel safe and well looked after. I live in a spacious and comfortable flat in Hove, just a 5 minute walk from Hove Lawns and the beach, which is perfect for regular walks and fresh air.

“Ting is so great with my two rescues! They can be very neurotic in their own special ways haha and she handles them wonderfully, they were very happy, fed and tired out when I got home :) Thanks so much!”

About: We've looked after all sorts of dogs and cats over the years and are happy to work around your pet's routine e.g feeding times, medication, whatever they're used to. Every animal's different and we like to just get to know them and go from there. We're near Hove Park and the seafront, so there's plenty of good walking on the doorstep. We'll send you photo updates while they're staying with us so you know they're doing well. I work for the NHS and have flexible opportunities to work from home when needed. I live with my partner, Alec. He works from home full-time. Alec and I live in a pet friendly apartment close to Hove Park where we love to go out for walks. We luckily have access to a pet wash in our building. We live in a clean, smoke free and spacious apartment for furry friends to explore.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and other animals since I was very young, I’ve always been very good at connecting with them, which is why I went to Plumpton college to get my animal care diploma & my dog grooming qualification. Your animals will be very safe when they are with me, whether it be over night or just during the day. My passion is making sure all animals in my care are 100% happy and healthy. I have availability throughout the week, weekends & holidays. Please message if you have questions or would like to request care and I’ll get back to you asap. Animal welfare is extremely important to me so I do everything I can to make sure the animals in my care are happy, even if it means altering my own routine for them.

I always follow your routine closely, provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and safe.

“Annabel was a fantastic friend to my cat while I was away for a week. Her kindness, understanding and caring nature meant that Blossom was very happy and looked forward to her daily visits. I would not hesitate to recommend Annabel - she really is certainly someone that can be relied on with any pet she is asked to look after. Thank you so much to Annabel!”

What sets me apart is not just the breadth of my experience but also my commitment to the welfare of animals.

This compassionate approach ensures that I bring a special understanding and care to those pets who may find it harder to be adopted. With a heart for the underdog, my pet care services go beyond the ordinary, offering tailored attention to every furry friend's unique needs. Working part-time from home with a flexible schedule, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This adaptability ensures that your pets receive personalized attention, including feeding, walks, and play sessions.

Open communication guarantees transparency, offering you peace of mind about your furry friends' well-being. In the comfort of your pet's own home, I prioritize safety and trust.

Customized care tailored to each pet's unique needs guarantees a reliable and caring experience during dog walking and drop-in services.

About: I am used to taking care of friends pets(dogs,cats,rabbits) when they are away over the years! I love doing so. Especially because I live in rented accommodation, so can no longer have one of my own. I currently work part time. Tuesdays to Fridays 9-4:30. I have plenty of time to spend with your lovely fur babies and am so looking forward to. I like going to the beach/in nature for swims and walks! I am happy working with your personal boundaries when it comes to looking after your pet. I know everyone cares for their pets slightly differently and would love to experience that.

About: Hello! My name is Em (Rover keeps the name on my ID unfortunately). I have been looking after family and friends dogs since I was a small child. I love spending time with dogs, ensuring they get the exercise and stimulation needed, and the care they deserve. I mostly grew up around staffies (to this day my favourite breed), so I am used to hyperactive and excitable pups. I also grew up predominantly with cats, so I am well versed in looking after them too. I am a disabled, able-bodied adult (I have autism, so it is difficult to find 'traditional' work, but it also means that I spend a lot more time with animals), so I am available every day needed. Your dog will always be supervised, inside and outside your home. I am able to crate your dog if needed. I will also ask for a list of rules/needs for your pet to ensure the best care and experience for both you and your pet.

“Fia was great, communicated really quickly and made Winnie feel really relaxed when she dropped in and sent lots of photos of Winnie looking very happy. Would definiety use her again and recommed her to anyone”

About: Hi, my name is Azar 🙂 I have spent my whole life around dogs and grew up with lots of different breeds. I used to work in a veterinary practice, so I am very comfortable with everyday care, giving medication, and keeping an eye on how a dog is feeling. I am now a student and work entirely from home, so I can be flexible and present for the dogs I look after. I have my own dog, Sesame, a very sweet little Cavapoo who loves having company. Sesame is happiest with gentle, calm dogs who know how to interact with other dogs, so I am a good fit for friendly dogs who enjoy a relaxed home environment. Because of her, and because I like to give each dog proper attention, I only look after one dog at a time. This way Sesame and your dog both get the space, care, and affection they need. If your dog stays with me, they will be treated as part of the family, with walks, play, cuddles, and regular updates so you can relax while you are away. I am available weekdays, weekends and for longer periods of time. As long as I have a bit of notice, I will always be flexible. I have a small secure garden and I am always cautious about what the dogs in my care have access to. Dogs are allowed in every room and I always treat every furry friend as one of the family. When we meet, I will need to make sure your dog gets on well with mine to make sure it is safe for the two of them.
