Dog Sitting Hove

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3, and looked after dogs of all different sizes and ages, from 10 weeks up to 16 years old! I’m a huge dog lover who will always send updates and photos of your fur baby while you’re away. I do have experience with seniors as my own dog, Honey, lived to 16 years old, and I’m well versed in arthritis care. I have also done some guide dog reinforcement training in the past. I’m currently working freelance so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dog, I can take them on walks and I have plenty of time to give them the attention and care they need all day. I live in a dog-friendly flat. I don’t have a garden but there is a huge park right outside my front door, as well as the beach, so I can easily take them out for toilet breaks, walks, and play time all day. The flat I live in is extremely secure and safe for dogs of all ages and can be tailored to puppy and senior specific needs if necessary.

About: Hello we are Courtney and Dan, a Kiwi and Brit living in Brighton with our 4 year old daughter. 
We've been looking after doggos since living in NZ through fostering which included us then adopting our 9 year old Cavapoo called Arlo. We all made the move back (including Arlo) to the UK in 2023, to be closer to family. We had to say goodbye to our pup Arlo to doggy heaven at the end of 2024 and looking to pour our love into looking after your companion. Our home is close to the South Downs, perfect for long dog walks in the countryside. 
 Please get in touch if this sounds of interest, we are happy to answer any questions you have, or schedule a meet with your pup. Dan works from home and I am currently on a sabbatical, so the doggos will always have one of us to look after and play with them. We have a fully fenced enclosed garden giving room for your pup to run around or do their business in. We will love your dog like they are part of the family and ensure they are walked and played with.

“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.”

“Sam was fantastic with our cat Mila! From the first visit we have had loads of photos, updates, and have been completely at ease whilst on holiday with Sam dropping in. It is obvious she is great with cats and takes a lot of care in looking after them. Mila was always visited very promptly, Sam played with her and entertained her and litter etc was cleaned daily! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and are hoping she is free next time we are going away. Thank you!!”

“Jo is a god send - she took such good care of my little nugget and went out of her way to give me updates. She showed huge empathy, friendliness and my Lizzy s and seemed to like her a lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals throughout my life, with experience caring for cats and dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours. I’m responsible, gentle and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I have good availability throughout the week and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, including weekends, and I’m happy to discuss specific routines and requirements. I provide a calm, safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, medication, walks and routines, and I always prioritise their safety and wellbeing. I’m happy to meet beforehand so we can discuss your pet’s needs and make sure everyone feels comfortable.

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including my own and those of friends, family, and neighbors. I love spending time with dogs and cats—playing, walking, and giving lots of cuddles. I always make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved! 🐾💛 I’m a master’s student with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets plenty of love and attention!

I take care of pets in their own homes with lots of love and attention, following their routines and habits. I also send daily updates with photos so owners can see their furry friends happy and safe!

About: I have over 12 years’ experience caring for my own four family dogs, so looking after pets really is second nature to me. I know every dog is different and I’m always happy to go at their pace, whether that’s a good long walk, a walk round the block, or just plenty of fuss and company while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. They will always have company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved. I’m available for walks during lunchtime, evenings, and weekends, so whether your dog needs a midday stroll or a weekend adventure, I’ve got it covered. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. During walks, I keep dogs on the lead and pay close attention to their comfort and surroundings. For drop-ins and house sitting, I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, medications, or sticking to routines, while also keeping your home secure and respected. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and safe, whether I’m visiting for a short check-in, staying overnight, or spending the day together.

“Caroline was really professional and easy to communicate with to arrange a meet and greet as well as dogsitting. She has a nice calm energy and I would use her services again.”

About: I grew up on a small farm in Northern Ontario, and I have been caring for and genuinely enjoying spending time with animals for as long as I can remember! I have shared my life with dogs since I was a baby. I had a horse throughout my teen years, and aside from my best girl, Shanti (5.5-year-old Labrador), my most recent animal care was for our geriatric donkey, Eeyore, whilst staying with my family in Canada. In my downtime, I learn a lot about dog behaviour through books and experts online. I know that our pets are our best friends and family members; I will treat yours with utmost respect and kindness - guaranteed! I am currently providing pet care throughout the summer, whilst starting a new business (children's yoga in the park). I am on a sabbatical as an education specialist, and since I love spending time with animals, there is no better way than to spend my summer here in Brighton & Hove. I am open to day services, evenings and weekends. My availability is subject to a pre-booked camping trip and family commitments. I will work with you for bespoke animal care. My Labrador/best friend, Shanti, is excellent around other dogs. Together, owners and I will discuss and decide if our dogs are compatible to socialise together on walks. I live with my retired partner, who is also an animal-lover but the care and responsibility for your pet will be in my trusted hands. While there is no garden here, regular walks to the beach and to Hove Park fill our days. Shanti and I also love longer walks in the countryside/in the woods which we reach by car. Your dog might love to join us! In your home, I will ensure your pet is comfortable and life remains "status quo". If I can welcome your dog to our place, we will discuss all factors to ensure this is what is best for them. On our end, we will ensure they feel right at home. Crating is an option if you think best. Rest assured, I have been caring for animals all my life and when your furry family member is with me, they will be happy, well-cared for and comfortable.

“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.

“Barley v happy, thank you!”

About: I grew up in the countryside with a huge menagerie, including ponies, horses, donkeys, peafowl, ducks, hens and loads of dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. I have been dog and cat sitting the last ten years since my own Cocker Spaniel died - I have a borrow my doggy dog a day a week, for the last two and a half years who is dear to my heart, and have enjoyed over 14 sits with dogs and cats through Trusted House Sitters this last year. I have 5 star reviews every time. Being with animals genuinely makes me so happy! Every dog I look after I fall in love with. Cats too... I love walking and discovering new places so why not give me a try, I promise to give your pets all the love and the attention they deserve. I am flexible with hours as work part time, free some weekends and for sleepovers. I am happy to travel short distances to your home. I have a garden for dogs to use and am close to the seafront for lots of walks, countryside too. I always follow owners rules about walking their dogs, am mindful of how other dogs might interact with the dogs I am looking after, and careful with roads and fast moving water. I check pets for ticks and always carry a tick remover. I interact with your pets to keep them stimulated if need be, and give tons of love! I am experienced with administering medication to animals and always make sure it has been taken! If am driving your dogs around I make sure they are secure in my camper van and use a harness to make sure they are safe.

About: Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable, and experienced pet sitter based in Hove. I offer dog walking, and dog and cat drop in services, providing loving, safe, and personalised care for every animal I look after. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I always follow your routine closely, provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your animal is happy and safe. Safety, trust, and communication are my top priorities. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to message me anytime to arrange a free meet & greet! I work in animal protection from home and am available for pet sitting and dog walks most weekdays (throughout the day and evenings) and at the weekends. I live in an animal-friendly apartment block with its own private garden. Steps from the beach, Hove Lawns and green space right outside. Also a very quiet space with beach views.

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.

“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.
