House Sitting in Hove

“Jaz and Owen were absolutely amazing. They doted on Rocco and their communication was impeccable. It made us feel incredibly at ease and assured he was being really well looked after. They also left the house completely spotless for our return and gave us really comprehensive notes on how the stay had gone. Rocco is still under 1, so he was being a bit challenging at times with young dog behaviour and they took it all in their stride. We’re really grateful to them for their care for Rocco whilst we were away. Would completely recommend and would love to invite them to look after Rocco again.”

“Brilliant dogsitter, thanks so much Logan - Rusty was delighted to be looked after by you and you left our house spotless! :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Steph is a fantastic dog sitter and someone I would highly recommend. Our rescue dog can be anxious and usually takes a while to trust people but he warmed to her right away. She took on board all of the quirks of his daily routine and sent us thoughtful updates every day, so we could see how happy and relaxed he was with her. Thank you, Steph, for being so wonderful with him.”

“Sam was brilliant from start to finish! We met for a little intro walk, was was kind of Sam. He was very responsive, which was helpful as ‘handover’ was a bit complicated. He sent us great photos, one of Teddy playing which was nice to see, and we knew he was happy. He was careful about the heat on their walk and careful of foxes and cats in the evening. All in all, very conscientious and Teddy seemed to really like him. We’d definitely book Sam again!”

“Stephen did a great job of looking after my dog and kept me informed throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”

“Experienced dog sitter/walker. Helped my spaniels work through some initial nervous behaviour as a result of living in a new environment. Jamie is very committed to providing excellent quality care for my dogs.”

“Baxter had a brilliant stay at Billy’s! It was our first time leaving Baxter overnight with someone and we’re so glad we chose Billy. Baxter was immediately happy in his company and could tell Billy genuinely liked having him around. We got regular updates which we were grateful for. Definitely recommended!”

“Lydia looked after our cavadoodle Lionel last week, it was fantastic to be able to go away and know there was someone trustworthy and reliable to look after the house and dog :) We've already booked Lydia again for this month's trip!”

“Marketa looked after Larry for two weeks. He was super happy with her and missed her when she left! She was really good with him - he is very needy and she made sure he was happy for our time away. Thanks Marketa 😊”

“Yvonne looked after our two babies for the day whilst we were away and we were so very pleased to have regular and great updates as to how our babies were doing during the day. Yvonne was loving and caring with our two chihuahuas and very polite and friendly with us. I would definitely recommend her for anyone that needs to leave their furry friends with someone who genuinely cares.”

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was four and have always loved having animals around but unfortunately don’t have a cute furry friend of my own. I’ve also looked after cows and goats…. Bizzare I know and I’m sure you have some questions about that! I love animals and definitely would love some furry friends to look after and keep me company. I usually end up taking them out 3 or 4 sometimes even 5 times a day as I go out for little walks often in between writing and the dogs love a good cuddle whilst I write and I also have plenty of time to play with them too! I’m a freelance writer so I can write around other responsibilities and am looking to dog sit, board and walk as much as possible! This is handy as I can be available any time of the day that you need for collection and drop off etc. I live in a flat on the fourth floor but it’s right next to hove lawns and the beach so very useful for fun walks! I usually take them out a minimum of 4 times a day!

“Denzel house sat for us over the weekend and took care of Millie and Rubie (our two dogs). He kept us updated with regular photos and videos, and took care of all of Millie's and Rubie's needs, with regular walks and plenty of attention. The house was immaculate when we returned and it was clear that Millie and Rubie had a great time. Denzel was polite and respectful throughout the entire process. We will definitely be contacting him again and cannot recommend him highly enough.”

“Tanya is a tremendous and caring lover of all animals especially Cats. Tanya has lodged with us for several years, and her love for cats over these years is obvious. She has a natural affinity for these beautiful creatures, and goes the extra mile to make sure they are cared for and loved. She is a caring person, and the kind of person you will feel confident in leaving with your precious pet with if you are away, She is completely trustworthy, and we would recommend her to any cat owner seeking help at any time. Chris and Natasha”

“James is an affectionate, reliable and responsible person who has always been calm and attentive towards animals. He looked after Izzie, a family-friend's border collie, at weekends and when her owners were away from home. Izzie stayed with us and James was completely engaged in caring for her including feeding and walking. He was always attentive to Izzie, forming a very close bond and not shying away from messy jobs! James is reliable and responsible with animals and with dogs specifically. He is mindful of their needs for consistency and patience. I have no hesitancy in recommending James as someone that would attend to your dog with care and attention.”

“I can’t recommend Alex highly enough! She looked after my puppy Teddy, and I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver. I was a bit worried leaving him for the first time, but Alex kept me updated with pictures and messages, which really helped ease my mind. She went over and beyond giving him plenty of walks, playtime and cuddles. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pup like family, Alex is definitely the person to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thanks again, Alex, for taking such amazing care of Teddy, he’s looking forward to come and stay next time we go away! X”

“Kar Yeng did an amazing job looking after our toy poodle Bobby who was especially anxious that weekend. She was super sweet and calming with him and sent us loads of photos and updates. Would highly recommend 10/10 ❣️”

I can walk, take your pet to vet and groomer, day care at your house. Timing and days are negotiable and flexible. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being.

Maintain Routine: I adhere closely to the pets' established routines, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and medication administration, to minimize disruption and ensure their comfort. Feeding and Hydration: I provide fresh food and water according to the pet owner's instructions, ensuring their dietary preferences and portion sizes are followed. Exercise and Playtime: I engage pets in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. This may include walks, interactive toys, or designated play areas. Companionship: I offer companionship and affection to the pets, spending quality time with them to alleviate any feelings of loneliness or anxiety in the absence of their owners. Monitoring Health: I closely monitor pets for any signs of illness or discomfort, promptly notifying the pet owner and seeking veterinary care if necessary. Household Duties: In addition to caring for the pets, I may also perform light household duties such as collecting mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness to ensure a comfortable environment for both pets and owners. Communication: I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed of their pets' well-being and activities while they're away. By following these steps, I ensure that pets receive the same love, care, and attention in their own home as they would from their owners, promoting a stress-free experience for both pets and owners alike.

“Gisela was fantastic, she was a great communicator. She was so good with my less than perfect aged dog, Effy clearly had a lovely time and left the house really clean! I would thoroughly recommend her!”

“Marta is an incredible dog sitter - attentive, caring and playful. She is reliable and professional, giving animals so much love and attention. She is my very first choice every time I need to drop my dog off for the day. I highly recommend her.”
