“Sophie dropped in to feed our cat George while we were away and I will definitely be booking with her again. Sophie was really responsive and sent us lots of pictures and updates on how George was doing, and gave him lots of pets while she was there. Thanks so much Sophie :)”


“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!”

“I can’t thank you enough for taking care of Mini! I really appreciated the daily updates, it made me happy to see her playing with you, and to know that she was having a good time :)”

“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!”

“So happy Emily looked after our cats, the person we originally booked cancelled the night before we were going on holiday,I had messaged a few people asking if anyone was free last minute and Emily replied straight away she was absolutely lovely and I couldn’t be more thankful, our cats seemed so happy and comfortable immediately. Emily looked after the cats and the house even washing the bowls before we got home and helping us to keep our routine with the cats by shutting the curtains and tidying away the toys each night. She played with them lots and brushed Nutmeg for us which Nutmeg loved. Overall a really great experience and will definitely ask Emily to come and look after the cats again next time we go away.”

About: I’ve always grown up with family dogs, so always been caring and looking after my own. I’ve dog sat for plenty of family and friends dogs as well, I absolutely love spending time with animals. I work from home on Monday and Tuesdays so I’m available during those days to pop in/walk pups, or I can call in after work, I finish at 5:30pm on any other weekday. I live in a top floor flat, which only has 3 other flats in it. I would never take dogs off lead anywhere, unless told it is allowed to do so.
“Annabel was a fantastic friend to my cat while I was away for a week. Her kindness, understanding and caring nature meant that Blossom was very happy and looked forward to her daily visits. I would not hesitate to recommend Annabel - she really is certainly someone that can be relied on with any pet she is asked to look after. Thank you so much to Annabel!”

About: Hello! Welcome to my page - I’d love to have the honour of looking after your precious pup. My background: I don’t have a dog myself at the moment but have in the past. I’ve spent 6 years walking dogs in my neighbourhood - whether drop ins, walks or daycare, I’ve taken care of many small to large sized pooches. I’ve also got experience caring for young puppies if you need a break from the intense job of raising them...I don't mind the odd toilet accident either! My residence: I live in a lower ground floor flat with private enclosed garden. I allow dogs on couches and beds...pretty much everywhere! Because it’s a flat, I tend to only take small to medium dogs for daycare, as I think having enough space for them is important. I’m based in central Hove, near the station. Key info: I only walk/care for one dog at a time as am conscious that many dogs don’t thrive in a large group environment…plus it means each dog gets all my attention. I like to always arrange a brief meet and greet before taking on a new dog. I have, however, made exceptions for this in the past to help someone out last minute, so happy to discuss! I guarantee a selection of photos and/or videos will be sent to you throughout the day - both via text and via the Rover Card feature. Just drop me a message with any questions. Caroline I WFH 3 days a week so your little pal would be given lots of cuddles and playtime inside, as well as at least two walks outside - dependant upon your requirements of course. I allow dogs on furniture and beds so just let me know if that’s something I need to prevent for your pooch. I will require a list from pup parents regarding care required, any rules to be observed and medication to be given. This ensures we are in agreement and eliminates risk for both parties.
About: With over two decades of living alongside and caring for dogs and cats, my experience spans a diverse spectrum of breeds, from small to large. What sets me apart is not just the breadth of my experience but also my commitment to the welfare of animals. I have a penchant for adopting pets facing challenges, whether it's due to health conditions or physical disabilities. This compassionate approach ensures that I bring a special understanding and care to those pets who may find it harder to be adopted. With a heart for the underdog, my pet care services go beyond the ordinary, offering tailored attention to every furry friend's unique needs. Working part-time from home with a flexible schedule, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This adaptability ensures that your pets receive personalized attention, including feeding, walks, and play sessions. With no fixed schedule constraints, I can readily adjust to meet any specific needs or unexpected changes. Open communication guarantees transparency, offering you peace of mind about your furry friends' well-being. In the comfort of your pet's own home, I prioritize safety and trust. I follow established routines, ensuring familiarity and reducing stress. Regular updates and communication keep you informed, while my preparedness for emergencies provides peace of mind. Customized care tailored to each pet's unique needs guarantees a reliable and caring experience during dog walking and drop-in services.
About: Since I was 11 we have had dogs of all sizes, including a Dalmatian and 2 cocker spaniels. We had these dogs since puppies and so I have experience with puppies and full grown dogs. The Dalmatian is now 14 and so I also have experience with senior dogs, knowing to slow down and walk at their pace. I have also cared for friend’s dogs of varying sizes (as pictured). I genuinely love dogs and will stop a dog on the street and ask owners if they are happy for me to pet them! I work from home most days and so I am flexible with where I can work and I am happy to dog sit overnight due to this flexibility. I also finish early most days around 3.30/4pm and so I have evenings available to walk dogs or house sit Animal safety is very important to me and so I know to keep track of the dogs whereabouts. I know to keep doors closed when entering or leaving a room
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I have a playful 3 year old pup named Bailey who loves having doggy friends over for playdates. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and everything in between, and I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pup will be treated like family with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and care included! I work from home Mondays and Fridays so I can walk dogs before work, at lunch and after work. I am also around most evenings and can do weekends. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is pet-friendly, secure, and supervised, with plenty of space for play and rest. I always follow your pet’s routine, from feeding to walks, and send regular updates so you have complete peace of mind. Your pup will feel safe, loved, and cared for.
“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.”
