“My puppy, Echo took to Sophie straight away and thoroughly enjoyed her day at Sophie’s lovely home. I could tell by the regular updates Sophie sent that Echo was in safe, caring hands and was having a whale of a time! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie, Echo and I would definitely book doggy day care with Sophie again!”

About: Hi, I’m Ting (or you can call me Tilly). I live in Hove, just by the Seven Dials and the lovely St. Ann’s Well Gardens. ☀️ I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl and have always had dogs. I love every dog, no matter their shape and size. 🦮 I’m flexible and am pretty much available every day at the moment. If you need my service, I’m always happy to accommodate. I prefer weekdays, but weekends are fine with notice. I always respect and understand your pet’s needs and your specifications. Every animal is different, but I make sure to make them feel as comfortable and calm as possible.

“Ellie was amazing with our puppy for day care, thank you so much!”


About: With over two decades of living alongside and caring for dogs and cats, my experience spans a diverse spectrum of breeds, from small to large. What sets me apart is not just the breadth of my experience but also my commitment to the welfare of animals. I have a penchant for adopting pets facing challenges, whether it's due to health conditions or physical disabilities. 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. With no fixed schedule constraints, I can readily adjust to meet any specific needs or unexpected changes. 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. I follow established routines, ensuring familiarity and reducing stress. Regular updates and communication keep you informed, while my preparedness for emergencies provides peace of mind. Customized care tailored to each pet's unique needs guarantees a reliable and caring experience during dog walking and drop-in services.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with every dog I care for. I treat each dog like family, making sure they get personalised attention, plenty of play, and a routine that feels just like home. Dog walking fits really well into my routine because I work on a zero-hour contract, which gives me the flexibility to schedule dog walks around my shifts. This means I can be available throughout the week at different times, making sure each dog gets the care and attention they need when it works best for their routine. When caring for a pet in your home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment that matches their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully - feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so your pet feels safe and settled in their own space.

“Penny the cockapoo had a great time with Anna and her dog. Anna was very friendly and easy to communicate with and we will hopefully see her again in the future.”


“My best friend can play up with new sitters and this didn't happen today. Gabbie was calm and open to suggestions about the best way to look after Moby. The weather was not the best, but Gabbie made the right choices at the right time. As a very easy-going person, Gabbie also calmed my anxiety. Gabbie and Mobes had a great day and she updated via the app so I could see what a fab day Moby was having. I would highly recommend, especially if you have a needy dog, or, you feel nervous about leaving your dog with someone for the first time.”


“Snowy evidently loved her day care with Roxy. They enjoyed lovely cuddles, belly rubs and walks every day. Roxy was very responsive on communication and flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you”


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.

Suzana P.
“I was thrilled when Suzana told me she was going to be a pet caregiver because she is one of the most dedicated people I know when it comes to pets. Besides that she is a dog and cat rescuer since forever, she also helps others with dog/cat sitting and she is the best, all pets adore her. She has a big heart and she is dedicated to help homeless pets and pets with disabilities. When I was sick and undergoing heavy treatment she helped me taking care of my cat Missy and dog Lina who was not the nicest dog to be around :) but Suzana somehow managed to befriended her (and nobody beside family managed to do that before) and they became very fond of each other during the forthcoming years, same with my cat Missy who was also a special cat - spoiled to the bones and she loved it when Suzana came to visit us. When I could not take care of them properly she used to take Lina on long walks and give her all necessary care like bath, food, etc. She snuggled with them and I think they never felt that something was different. I never once felt that I have to step in, everything was taken care of without my intervention. If you only take a look at her own dogs and cats you will see that she is committed and most loving human being on earth. I highly recommend her for helping you taking care of your pets.”
