Whether your dog needs long walks, plenty of playtime, or just some companionship, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for. What Sets Me Apart I’m an active person who enjoys hiking, biking, and spending time outdoors, so if your dog loves adventures, I’m the perfect match! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I can adapt to different energy levels, whether your pup needs high-energy walks or gentle care. Pet care is my main focus, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dog. I’m highly flexible and available for walks, sitting, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs regular exercise, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I can easily adjust to their routine and needs.

My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, well cared for, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Luke has been an amazing sitter. He was flexible and reliable with speedy communication and lots of pictures to update. Oli thoroughly enjoyed his day with Luke, you can tell how much he loves animals and I've booked him again. Highly recommend and trustworthy. Thank you 😊”


“Hannah was really quick to respond and took on looking after Snowy at very short notice, we are really grateful for her help! Snowy had a lovely day in her company, with a nice walk and plenty of cuddles. Thank you”


About: I've had dogs since I can remember. Back home in Colombia I rescued dogs and trained them, which means I have lots of experience with nervous dogs and know how to deal with each dog's personality. I've taken care of lots of different dogs, from huskies to Yorkshire terriers, and can accommodate to each specific need your dog has. I also own a little pup that loves dogs and loves walks, which means your dog will have a companion and someone to play with, my dog, tinto is also happy just laying down and doing nothing, so if your dog is more chill, we can also do that I work from home 3 days a week, and I take my own pup for long walks or the park during the day. I try to walk my dog around busy areas but also parks and maybe the beach, our favourite is hove Park I live by myself in my own two story flat, which is really close to Hove Park. With my own dog, we usually go on 4 or 5 walks a day and maybe a jog, we otherwise hang out in my living room and only go to the bedroom to sleep.

“We've got small but quite energetic terrier so I was a bit nervous he might be too much for Natalia but she just done her magic on him and they had an amazing time! He was so happy and even now when we're passing her flat he's pulling towards her place! I cannot be thankful enough.”


“Monica was so lovely with our German Shepard. Because we stayed only one day in Brighton, it was not possible to see Monica in advance. The communication was very important for us. She was always available and she also sended pictures during our dogs stay at her home. She was very trustworthy and kind and not afraid of a big dog like basu. I would definitely choose Monica again if we are in Brighton. Thank you so so much! It seemed that he missed you a bit too :)”


“Would definitely recommend Gabbie. My dog had a great time with her. She keep me up to date, logged her walks etc and even took some photos. My dog needed eye drops administered and Gabbie was happy to do this on top of all the usual care.”


About: Hi there! My boyfriend, Olly, and I are looking for our next furry friend to spoil and go on adventures with. We are passionate dog and cat lovers and would love more opportunities to make new dog and cat friends. Some things to know about us: 1. We both grew up with dogs (and in my case, cats as well) and have had loads of fun training them from a young age. Beyond “sit” and “fetch,” we can even try to teach your dog how to headbutt a balloon or count by barking! 2. We love discovering the unique personalities of our dog friends and their often not-so-secret addictions to balls, special toys, leads, or anything else. :) 3. We are comfortable with all breeds, big or small. 4. We love good food and always make sure our furry friends get their treats and meals on time too. 5. We are both toilet-trained and will make sure our furry friends do their business outside. 😄 What we offer: 1. Cuddles and playtime to brighten up your dog’s day 2. Short or long walks as needed for exercise 3. Feeding, fresh water and photo updates throughout the day 4. Fun trick training We both work from home in Hove and have flexible schedules during the week and on weekends. Thursdays and Fridays are ideal, but we can adjust our schedule with adequate notice for other days. Our spacious flat is a calm and safe environment with enough room for some low-key zoomies for dogs and some cozy corners for cats. For walks with dogs, we would go to St Ann’s Park, Palmeira Square, Hove Park, or the beach. Before leaving your dog/cat with us, we kindly ask you to: 1. Send us your main phone number and an emergency contact in case we can’t reach you. 2. Provide your vet’s address in case of any emergencies. 3. Share any important information, including rules, diet, allergies/sensitivities, nap time/daily schedule, habits, and any special behaviour for the pets. 4. Bring their favourite toys, treats, blanket to help create a familiar and comforting environment, as well as food if they need feeding. 5. If you have a dog, please share dome information on how your dog interacts with other dogs. 6. If you have cats, please bring your litter box as we do not have a garden.
