“Balbina is a wonderful sitter! Our dog can be quite reserved with new people, but she warmed to Balbina straight away and was obviously very relaxed with her. We’ll definitely ask Balbina to sit for us again. Thank you!”


“Kei house and Billy sat our energetic dog, Billy over a few days. Kei kept me informed all the time and checked in when needed. Billy really enjoys spending time with Kei, and keeps Kei on his toes with his mischievous ways. I highly recommend Kei for any dog service, he's so reliable, understands dogs well and a very nice person. Billy is looking forward to seeing Kei again in a few weeks.”


“Alice was an amazing house sitter for our precious Frenchie fur baby Sid! We felt immediately comfortable with her on the meet and greet before the sit and then once on our trip to London felt very secure that Sid and the house was in very safe hands. Lots of lovely updates from Alice ensured that we were able to enjoy our break knowing that all was well and happy at home with Sid and Alice getting on extremely well. On return the house was left impeccably tidy and Sid was very happy, in fact he was looking out of the window for Alice once she’d left! Alice comes highly recommended and we will most definitely be asking for her to take care of Sid again in the future. Thanks so much Alice!”


“I cannot recommend James enough 10/10 My dog Paul is a rescue and sometimes has some challenging behaviour. (Mostly silly half hours!) but he is a lovable, boisterous rogue!! James took the upmost care, over and above with epic walks and cuddles 🥰 James’s updates kept me constantly smiling happy and reassured . Absolute super star 🌟 Thank you 🙏 so much James from me and Paul x”


“Spookily good with the 2 dogs, one of whom is usually very nervous with male strangers, the other boisterous and completely deaf - so not an easy gig! He looked after them in our home, everything went well - totally reliable, always turns up on time, left the house clean/tidy and I had total trust in him, as did the dogs! Will definitely use Jordan again, thanks Jordan!”


“Chris and Pau were really lovely with our pup. He was a little nervous and they took everything at his pace. We really appreciated the updates and photos. They even taught him a couple new tricks. Thank you so much.”


About: I have been looking after dogs, way before I moved to England, I’m from America but have live here in England for 26 yrs . I’m a reliable dog owner who makes sure pets are well taken care of…! I walk dogs minimum three times a day, but up to 5 times a day for casual walks and fresh air, I love walking on the beach seafront and around Hove Park I am very respectful when it come to looking after your pet in your home , make sure they eat on time and are walked at least three times a day but up to 5 times a day I do like the outdoors so I like getting out especially around the seafront area. I don’t like walking dogs that I don’t know very well unleashed so they will be walked on a leash while I’m walking them, I hope that’s not a problem.


About: Hi, I’m Jade! A lifelong animal lover and I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life. Caring for cats is my specialty; I understand that they all have their own personalities and I always make sure their needs are met. I’m also a big dog lover and have experience in caring for all kinds from an elderly chihuahua to bouncy young labs! I’m also very knowledgeable about small pets such as mice, hamsters, rats, rabbits; I even had chinchillas when I was a kid! I understand that different animals have different needs and I adapt my care to meet them. l’m a very active person, I walk at least twice a day rain or shine, and it will be a joy to have a companion on my walks! I will always adapt a walk to your dogs age and personality, and make sure I take things like hot weather into account - safety first!! I have a nervous cat of my own so I can’t board your pets at my home, but I can stay overnight at your house if needed. I also work from home so can easily bring my laptop to work at your house if your pet needs some company while you’re out for the day. I can also pop in for daily feedings/walks if needed.

“Inna was such a fantastic sitter for our dog, Saffy. She is very communicative. organised, and friendly! We really appreciated the meet and greet before the looked after Saffy for an evening. Saffy seemed to love her as well! We’ll definitely be booking with Inna again :)”


“Having known Az a few years I was so happy to see him here on Rover and knew immediately we'd feel at ease leaving our cat, dog and house in his care. Our dog needs extra care as he's got weak legs and our cat is a bit of a character but Az looked after both amazingly and we came home to two very happy, chilled pets! Thanks Az!”


“We had Sylvia look after our dog for a few days while on holiday. She was great, sending us updates every evening, together with photos (and a video) to tell us what fun things they got up to that day. We felt comfortable leaving her in charge of everything and would recommend her without hesitation as she is genuinely very caring, reliable, and trustworthy. 5 stars all the way!”


“Uma stayed in our house to look after our dog Mikey and a tank of tropical fish while we went away on holiday. We found Uma to be very thoughtful, kind and considerate as she knew the right questions to ask about our pets needs before we left and kept us up to date with photos and messages on how everything was going throughout our holiday which was so reassuring! Mikey clearly had a brilliant time with Uma as we came back to a very happy and healthy dog and a house that was so clean and tidy. I would recommend Uma highly to be in charge of your pet(s) either while on holiday or just to be with them in the day or out for a walk. She is so trustful, friendly and happy to do what is best for your loved ones. Thank you so much Uma for what you did for us.”


“Luke was fantastic. Great communication, lovely guy. Treated our home with the upmost respect and take wonderful care of our Ziggy whilst we were on holiday. Luke supplied daily updates/photos even a portrait of Ziggy - he's very talented! Highly recommend Luke's services. Thank you very much :)”


“Henny has been particularly nervous recently due to his hormones, and Markéta came over with such a positive and calming energy, I felt super relaxed leaving him and I came home to a happy sleepy puppy. Markéta is so polite and respectful, I couldn't recommend her enough! 🌞”


About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I offer safe, reliable sitting in a calm home environment. From long walks to belly rubs and medication if needed, your dog will be treated like family while you're away. I work from home during the week, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I provide calm, reliable care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether it’s walks, playtime, medications, or just a cozy presence. I have a small, secure back garden for safe outdoor time, plus comfy dog beds, toys, and a calm environment where your dog is welcome anywhere in my home.

“For Marta’s third dog sitting sesh (second four hour visit) she continued to go at my nervous rescue’s pace and comfort level. And after being slow and patient, she had success getting the harness on and getting Sookie out for a walk. Hooray! Very pleased with her reliability, communication and treatment/care of my pooch, and will be a regular sitter for me going forward. Especially as Sookie seems to be warming to her well.”
