“Jordan was a great sitter for our boxer Woody. He is really great at communicating and was ready to meet us before the sit without any problems at all. He sent several photos of our dog during the stay bc and kept us up to date on a daily basis without us asking for it. We would really recomend Jordan for anyone who wants a friendly and reliable dog sitter.”


“Rocky our elderly GSD absolutely loved Kei and took to him immediately . We knew Kei was the right person to look after Rocky by the way he greeted her and her reaction to him. We’ve already booked Kei in to look after Rocky for our next trip, he’s a lovely genuine person and I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“Balbina was amazing with Willow for the week we were gone. She communicated well, and I appreciated all the updates we got throughout the week. I also appreciated that she cleaned up our cottage before leaving. Willow seems to have an amazing time with Balbina, so we will be booking her again!”


“Sophie is a perfect dog-sitter. She responded to messages quickly and met us beforehand to ask questions about our dog's behaviour. She provided updates throughout the day and Nathan was totally comfortable with her. We will definitely book her again!”



“I cannot recommend Jade enough! She was absolutely brilliant with my nervous rescue, Winter. Before the sit, she took the time to meet him a couple of times, which really helped him feel comfortable. On the second visit, he even fell asleep while we were chatting, which was a great sign. She was so respectful of his needs and kept in great communication with me while I was away. I’m so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Jade again.”


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.

“I couldn’t be happier with Leah and our 3 dogs loved her. She is communicative, friendly and reliable. The house was left immaculate and she coped calmly when one of the dogs was unwell. I will definitely ask her to come back.”


“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.

“Inna is the perfect Dogsitter. She’s punctual, inquisitive, professional and great with communication. I felt very secure and reassured while she looked after my 9mo puppy, Rupert. I would happily hire Inna again!”


“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”

“Kendall did an amazing job house-sitting and taking care of our cat while we were away. She sent frequent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were gone. We came home to a very happy and well-cared-for kitty, and everything in the house was just as we left it. Kendall is responsible, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We’re extremely happy with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”


“Octavia was amazing with my dog Wes. I was a little bit late home and I came home to a very happy dog who was clearly spoilt with attention and despite him being a little bit nervous, he was so settled in her company. I couldn’t recommend Octavia enough and will 100% be asking her again to look after Wes.”


“Marketa was brilliant. It was our first time using rover and having a sitter come and stay with our dog, Tango, who has significant separation anxiety but Marketa was super lovely, kind and put our minds at ease. She left the house very tidy and Tango was sad when she left! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter, she was fabulous!”


“Molly was great taking care of our mini dachshund for the weekend. We had excellent communication throughout, received lots of updates and came home to a very happy pup. We were made to feel comfortable throughout and look forward to having Molly take care of Otis again soon :)”


“Ting looked after my two dogs for 11 days at my hime. She is a dog lover and won my two dogs affection in a short time. I received daily updates and photos from her while I was away. She also took great care of my home. I highly recommend Ting and will be booking her again for dog sitting in future.”
