Top-rated Hove pet sitters

“Chloe was so patient and kind with Margot who was a little nervous about going off with someone new, but from all of the photo's looks like she had a marvellous time exploring. Looking forward to next week!”


“Hannah was great. Her communication was excellent and she took plenty of photos of our two cats while we were away over Easter. I would definitely recommend to others 😊”


“Perfect - punctual, kept me updated, took pics and did everything he was asked - extremely happy, many thanks”


“Ting is so great with my two rescues! They can be very neurotic in their own special ways haha and she handles them wonderfully, they were very happy, fed and tired out when I got home :) Thanks so much!”



“After two successful meet & greets, Jade’s first time doing a visit for my dog went well. She understands nervous dogs, and to let things go at their pace. Sookie seemed to have relaxed around her reasonably well as a result, and I think they’ll be firm friends before long!”


“Emily is my regular sitter now. My cats are so comfortable around her and happy to see her when she comes over. She gives them all the attention which I'm so grateful for!”


“Just started using Kei to sit my two dogs, very reliable and patient with them. The dogs love him already. Would definitely recommend!”


“Extremely happy with the service from Irina. Milo went from hissing at the first sight of Irina (normal for him) to letting her brush his belly on the first visit. Irina kept us well informed and provided lovely pics and videos from each visit and took some time out to play with his favourite cat toys. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Irina and will definitely use her again... Great Job..”


“Great communication, flexible, and a happy dog! Will be using again.”


“Our second meet & greet and 10 minute trial with Inna seemed to go well, although my dog barked a bit when I came back in (which she doesn’t normally do). Inna asks all the right questions, and seems to really want to understand both my and my dog’s needs. She was also on time and good communication. Hoping to use her again in future.”


“Laura is fantastic, very flexible and great communication. Maurice loves his walks and cuddles with Laura! We always know he’s in safe hands and having a lovely time :)”


About: We are a couple in our thirties who love dogs but haven’t quite made taken the leap to have one of our own full time. I had Jack Russells and a Tenterfield Terrier and my partner had a German Shepherd/border Collie cross. I am a remote worker so home every day and live a 5 minute walk from a big park and 10 mins from Hove seafront. I live with my partner, Tom, who will be supporting me with the care of the dogs. I work from home every day 9-5 so am able to go for early morning walks/ lunchtime walks and after work strolls. We don’t have any pets of our own so I can provide the dog staying with us all my attention. Please note I go to a course on Wednesday evenings and leave the house at 5:30pm so any day bookings that day will need to collected by then during term time. I am sadly no longer able to sit dogs with separation anxiety due to this impacting my work too much. I also often go to the gym in the middle of the day so the dog will need to be able to be alone for an hour. We have a lovely home with a secure fully fenced garden. I love taking a short stroll to the seafront, which is where the dog will get a walk either in the morning/lunchtime or early evening.

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.

“Everything was fantastic and all that my senior cat needed to keep him fed, watered and to have his litter tray in kept order was all looked after and communications were great.”


“Marta was brilliant with my nervous dog, Winter last night. She gave him all the space he needed and kept me up to date with how it was going. I will definitely book her again ☺️”


About: I have several years of experience in caring for dogs. Since moving to Brighton 2 years ago, I've been providing dog care services through the Borrow My Doggy website. I've looked after dogs of all ages and sizes, gaining valuable experience and receiving positive feedback from owners. Rest assured that your fluffy companion will receive the best care; I treat all dogs as if they were my own! Additionally, I have over a year of experience working with puppies. If you're looking to start socializing your puppy, I'd be happy to assist with that. If you'd like to meet me before deciding whether my service is right for your dog, please let me know. I'm more than happy with this arrangement. Feel free to reach out if you need someone to look after your furry companion :) I currently WFH full time 9-5 Monday -Friday. I will be available to walk your dog some times during lunch. Evenings and weekends is when I will be mostly available:) You can be assured your pet will be looked after and cared for as if it were my own. As I’ve stated before, I’m happy to meet and greet before discussing what kind of services you would like if you are happy with me looking after your dog :)

About: I have always had a deep connection with animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with our four-legged friends. Their well-being and happiness bring me great joy, and I believe my passion and dedication will shine through in the care I provide. I am a responsible and reliable individual. I understand the importance of maintaining open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing regular updates, and adhering to any specific instructions or routines. You can trust me to treat your dog as if they were my own. I am currently working from home (9-5' schedule), so I can stay over for pet sitting and will have plenty of time to play with your dogs. If you'd like to book dog walking rather than dog sitting, I am free outside of my working hours. I am available every day if prior notice is given at least a day ahead. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I am attentive to their specific needs, such as administering medication, adhering to dietary restrictions, and providing any necessary special care. I strive to build a trusting relationship with the pets and their owners, always maintaining open communication and providing updates on their well-being.

“Dennis loves Luke!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10, and over the years, I’ve built strong bonds with pets of all kinds. From puppies to adult dogs and even senior care, I've had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of breeds. I raised my own Jack Russell Cross, Bella Boo, from puppyhood to 11 years old and cared for my sisters' dogs (Staffie, Rottweiler, Pugs, Chihuahua, Samoyed, and Chihuahua cross). I've also cared for my neighbour’s 10 cats, socialising and looking after them regularly. My experience also includes house-sitting for a cat for two weeks, ensuring they were well taken care of in their own space. I truly understand the unique needs of every pet and strive to give them the best care. I'm currently working as a freelancer so have lots of time to care for your pets. I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community and love walks on the beach and in parks. When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to respect the space and follow any instructions closely. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, and I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I treat every home with care and consideration—cleaning up after myself, keeping things tidy, and ensuring your pet feels safe and loved at all times. Whether it’s regular updates, sticking to feeding and walk times, or simply giving them some extra attention while you're away, I’m here to give you peace of mind.

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.
