Doggy Day Care Hove

“Lisa very kindly took my two dogs for day care at short notice. She was very easy to communicate with and put me at ease. Lisa warmly welcomed Evie and Izzy, making the handover very easy. The girls had a lovely walk during the middle of day and I was sent photos and an update. They were both relaxed when I picked them up and were going between us with tails wagging. They were also very comfortable with her senior dog. I will definitely book again. Many thanks Lisa!”

“Absolutely lovely people and they sent photos and kept me up to date with everything through the day and went above and beyond for shadow. I will definitely want them to be part of shadows life for years to come. Thankyou”

Beyond “sit” and “fetch,” we can even try to teach your dog how to headbutt a balloon or count by barking! 2.

“Azar is great! Our dog BMO had a great time, we received plenty of photos throughout the day, and Azar responded very quickly to all of our messages. I can definitely recommend and would happily leave BMO with Azar again.”

“Hannah was brilliant with our senior collie Seamus. Great communication and care - Hannah made sure our dog was okay with stairs, cleared furniture so he wouldn't bump into things (he's blind), and gave him his meds. Would recommend Hannah to anyone :)”

“Murphy had a great time as usual with Monica. He puked me down the road and up her stairs when he realised where we were...a great sign of how happy he is there. Thanks again”

About: Hi, I'm Alex - a 32-year-old freelance producer who primarily works from home. For as long as I remember I've loved dogs. It's a running joke in my family that no one loves them more than me. Having grown up with Irish Setters and horses, I've been around dogs my entire life and consider them to be the purest form of joy I've yet experienced! Aside from this, I frequently look after friends and neighbours dogs and love taking them to local beaches and parks for walks, as well as my local co-working space, if suitable. I am also experienced in house sitting dogs and cats and love taking dogs on long walks in the countryside to keep them stimulated and tired at the end of the day. Having recently moved to Hove and bought a three bedroom house with a garden (fenced and very safe), I am keen to share my space and provide a safe and happy place for dog owners to send their dogs to when they need them looking after. I'm open to short or long stays and even day sittings in my house as well. Please do get in touch with any questions. Happy to provide photos of my home and garden, and of course for any dog to come round and meet me before staying so they get used to the smells and environment. I'm currently in a low period of freelance work and have much more spare time in the day for the next few months. I work remotely most of the time and occasionally work in a dog friendly co-work space called Platf9rm. I am able to work from home in my own house with a dog, but also take it for walks much more during the day. I like to be active and outdoors as much as I can and any dog I care for is also able to have free rein of my garden, which is walled and secure. I have a walled garden which is super safe and secure and it's a big enough space for any dog to run around, chill, or have a snooze in the sun. I have a desk in the living room space which opens up into the kitchen, so when working from home would always be around the dog. I love nothing more than watching TV and curling up with a dog. I'd be happy for the dog to join me on the sofa with a blanket.

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals since childhood, growing up with both a Labrador and a rescue cat. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience looking after a wide range of dogs and cats, not only in my own home but also for pet owners in London and Brighton. This experience has taught me how to handle pets with different personalities and needs, ensuring they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playful walks, feeding routines, or giving lots of cuddles, I always treat every animal as if they were my own. As a PhD student with the freedom to set my own hours and work from home, I can tailor my schedule to fit your pet’s needs—whether that means midday cuddles, evening walks, or even staying overnight in your home. My flexible lifestyle means your pets get dedicated, reliable company whenever you need it. When caring for pets I try to create a safe and stressfree environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure to stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet moments—so they experience as little disruption as possible. and I keep owners updated with photos and messages.

“Roxy is a perfect dog sitter, my dog dobbie had a lovely stay with her, I can see how happy Dobbie was in the video Roxy sent me! She treated Dobbie with patient and love, dobbie would definitely want to see Roxy again if there’s next time to travel Brighton! And I would definitely recommend if you are finding a responsible dog sitter.”

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter offering dog walking, home visits, and dog and cat boarding in my home. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large, energetic dogs. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs, whether that means active walks, playtime, companionship, maintaining familiar routines, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence while you're away. I also have extensive experience caring for rabbits and other small animals. I understand how difficult it can be to find a sitter who is genuinely knowledgeable about rabbit care and able to recognise the subtle signs that something may be wrong. Rabbits are experts at hiding illness and distress, so close observation is essential. I am confident monitoring their behaviour, appetite, activity levels, and overall wellbeing, helping to identify potential issues early and giving owners peace of mind while they are away. Having entrusted my own pets to carers in the past, I understand the level of trust owners place in someone looking after their animals and take that responsibility seriously. Because pet care is currently my main focus, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals I look after. I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual and adapting to what makes them feel comfortable, whether that's playtime, quiet companionship, maintaining familiar routines, or simply having someone nearby throughout the day. I have experience caring for animals with ongoing health conditions and special care requirements. This includes administering oral medications as well as subcutaneous injections, particularly in rabbits and other small animals. I am confident following veterinary instructions carefully, monitoring for changes in behaviour or wellbeing, and ensuring treatments are given safely and consistently. Services include: • Dog and cat boarding in my home (day care and overnight stays) • Dog walking for dogs of all sizes and energy levels • Feeding, cleaning, and daily care routines • Medication administration and subcutaneous injections • Rabbit care and small animal care • Companionship, enrichment, and playtime I provide regular updates with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also have access to a vehicle should emergency transport ever be needed. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Please note that the prices listed on my profile are for dogs. If you have small pets (such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, birds, etc.), I would be happy to discuss their specific needs and agree on a suitable price together. Pet care is currently my main focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals I look after. I am available for boarding, daycare, and home visits throughout the week and at weekends, depending on availability. I aim to keep each pet's routine as consistent as possible, ensuring they receive the care, companionship, and attention they deserve. I aim to provide a safe, calm, and low stress environment where pets can settle at their own pace. Before each booking, I discuss their routine, personality, and any medical or behavioural needs with their owner to ensure I can provide consistent care. I keep my home clean and secure, paying close attention to doors and windows, and I carefully monitor each pet's wellbeing throughout their stay. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love having them around. As I work from home (mostly) I have the time to take, morning and lunch time walks and can make sure your dog is getting the attention they need throughout the day. I regularly dog sit for friends during the summer holidays so have plenty experience looking after dogs full time. I have plenty of green areas just a stones throw from my house. I work full time and primarily from home. I occasionally have to travel into London for work (these dates will be updated in my availability). On the days that I am able to dog sit, I can do boarding overnight and am happy to take dogs over the weekend when I am free. I do not have any pets of my own so can welcome any dog into my home. My flat is enclosed, safe, and spacious and I live on a quiet road.

“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 😊”
