Pet Sitting in Mid Sussex

“As we’ve recently moved to the area, we’ve found ourselves short of support when it’s needed for our 2 dogs. We’ve put off finding a ‘stranger’ to help but from the day Hollie came and met us and them, she’s been a blessing. It’s clear how much she loves dogs and the way she treats ours like her own is really reassuring. We get the best updates and pictures when she visits and we know they’re in the best hands. I would definitely recommend her ☺️”

“Zoe replied to messages promptly, was clear in her communications and spent time getting to know Alfie and Poppy. I really appreciate the pictures of the doggos visit and updating status to let me know they have done their ablutions. The dogs were both very calm when I came home. Thank you 🙏”

About: I grew up with dogs all my life, as did my partner Dan. We dream of having our own dogs when we get our first house together. Our current flat is not doggy appropriate. I grew up in a house with two dogs, cats, cockatiels, rabbits and everything in between. Dan also has had dogs (boxers in particular) all his life too. We're also a dab hand at watering plants, taking in deliveries and caring for your house while you're away! I'm a teacher, so if you're booking when I'm on holiday there are no problems. Daniel works locally in Haywards Heath, so it is sometimes possible for him to come home at lunches for potty breaks. We are best with weekends, half terms and breaks! We are adaptable to your lives and how the dogs live. We want them to be comfortable so would learn your routines, favourite walk route and tips for entertainment and try and mimic as best as possible. We just sadly cannot look after pets in our own flat at the moment!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! Our family has shared our home with animals for over 15 years — from dogs and cats to chickens, rabbits, and more. We currently have a sweet-natured cocker spaniel named Ivy and a curious little hamster named Bear. When we first moved to the UK two years ago, we spent several months house-sitting and had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, and even a bird — it was such a rewarding experience that we’ve never forgotten. Since then, I’ve used Rover myself to find trusted sitters for our own pets when we travel, and now I’m excited to offer the same peace of mind to others. Pet care fits naturally into our everyday life. I run my own small business creating handmade candles and aura sprays, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. My husband also works from home three days a week, so there’s usually someone around to give pets attention, cuddles, and care. We already walk our own dog, Ivy, daily — and we’re incredibly lucky to back onto a forest and open fields, making walks feel more like mini-adventures. It’s a peaceful, pet-friendly environment, and we love spending time outdoors with the animals. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to us — it’s something we genuinely enjoy and value as part of our routine. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, playtime in the garden, or peaceful naps on the sofa, we make sure every pet feels right at home. We live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced garden that backs onto beautiful forest and open fields. It’s the perfect place for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy their daily walks with Ivy. Your pet will be treated like one of the family while in our care, with plenty of love, attention, and cuddles.

“David was great with our dog Ruby and did a drop in which was so helpful when we were out for the afternoon and evening. Great communication and Ruby had a wonderful time having a much needed run around in the garden.”

Sarah M.

“Gina was efficient, caring and trustworthy, as well as being a fantastic photographer. Will definitely book her for all future trips if she is available!”

Chris M.

“Another great sitting for Teddy from Kathy. My Teddy is a bit reactive and Kathy gave hime the extra care he needs.”

David S.

“Our dog had a lovely time, had his tummy rubbed, got some attention and was let out for the toilet and given lunch and a water top up. It was nice to know our Labrador was in safe hands again.”

Rebecca A.

“Tom has been fantastic looking after Mustard. He loved playing with him in the garden and also helped give him his food. Would highly recommend thanks again, Tom.”

Mark J.

“Simba and I had a wonderful experience with Bryony. I particularly appreciated the full report from each of her visits, the photos she sent and the fact that she made the effort to spend time with him each day and play with him as well as giving him fresh food and water. I returned home each day to a clean house and a happy, relaxed elderly gentlecat, and had no worries.”

Kate C.

“I can't recommend Bethany enough! She went above and beyond looking after my dog, cats, chickens, and birds while I was away. I loved how she kept me updated after every visit and even sent me daily photos of all my pets, which gave me such peace of mind. It's clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and I felt completely confident that they were in great hands. All of my pets were so happy and well cared for. Thank you, Bethany for taking such wonderful care of my furred and feathered family!”

“Iona was incredibly friendly and coped with our crazy labrador. She was amazing and will definitely book again!”

Mrs S M L.

“Alex has helped me a couple of times now. She’s very reliable and communicate well for piece of mind. Came back home to a very happy and relaxed dog. Will definitely use her again.”

Sofia E.

“Ellie is brilliant with Dewey, we get lots of updates and pictures while we’re away and we get a lot of comfort in the fact that Ellie is there with him and he’s getting lots of play time and cuddles too! Thank you Ellie x”

About: Had dogs in the family or around me since I was small. Have always loved dogs and quite often walked family/ friend's dogs. From short but slow strolls to long and active woodland walks. Full time work has wound down for the summer so I’m available to care/ walk your dogs any day of the week other then Sundays, but happy to have a conversation if desperate! As I would be caring for your dogs in your home I would do as you do as that is what is familiar and comforting for the dogs.

About: Pet Pals was created with YOU the owner in mind to provide a bespoke dog walking and pet minding service run solely by myself (Karalynn O'Keane) aimed to give you peace of mind when leaving your pet for the day/holidays. I have always had a real passion for pets and being brought up in a home nicknamed 'The Ark' by the neighbours gave me lots of experience with a variety of animals from dogs and cats to snakes, lizards parrots and even a pet ferret! Pet Pals is unique in that it understands the requirements of each individual owner and pet. Pets are part of our everyday lives and part of our families. They provide us with companionship but also with emotional support, reduce our stress levels, sense of loneliness and help us to increase our social activities and add to a child's self-esteem and positive emotional development. Therefore it is imperative that I provide your pet with the same love and care that you would. I live in Haywards Heath with my partner, two young children, pets Cookie the cat, Basil the snake and our tropical fish. I am fully insured and DBS checked and very reliable and trustworthy. I can offer a range of services from regular/ad hoc dog walking to pet feeding/visiting whilst you are away for a day or a month! The benefits of these services are huge for your pet (and your pocket) as it means your pet remains in the comfort of their own home which is far less stressful than going into any form of boarding.

About: We have a very happy and well behaved lurcher and have had pets in the family for many years. A beautiful and comfortable environment for your pet to board with us - I am a mum of two boys and a 2 year old very friendly lurcher, in a happy home. We have an acre and half of garden, safely fenced area and fields to walk in directly behind us. I'm currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to offer pet boarding and care for your pet. Your pet would follow our dog's routine or any routine they need. We have a fenced garden to the back of the house which can offer security for your pet, we also have a large garden for them to run in while being watched as well as fields behind us for easy walks - we are on a quiet street, it is a peaceful environment.

I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management, which has given me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and welfare. While I’m still early in my hands-on professional experience, I’m actively working toward my goal of becoming a full-time dog trainer, with a special focus on reactive and misunderstood dogs. I'm also soon beginning a professional dog training course to take my knowledge and skills to the next level.

I cover Burgess Hill and the wider Mid Sussex area.

I live in a pet-friendly home (soon to welcome a dog of my own!), and I treat every animal I care for as if they were part of the family. Whether you’ve got a high-energy pup, a shy pup, or a dog who’s working through some training goals, I’m here to help with kindness, patience, and understanding.

About: I've looked after dogs ever since our family got a Golden Retriever at 15, since then I've looked after dogs from family, neighbours and strangers turned friends! I have looked after senior dogs and young pups (so happy to do any training) including my own dog too. I work with a flexible schedule. Your dogs will join me on my walk to either Ashenground woods or Beech Hurst Park. And if it’s a weekend there will be extra cuddles on the sofa! I have a fenced in back garden with room for fetch and running around with my dog too. I have a spare crate if your dog ever needs a safe space or if needed. Your dog will be in my company for the duration of the whole day so they'll never be alone!

About: I am a full time employed dog walker, sitter and drop in person for a company in Haywards Heath. I am a mature person, very experienced and very patient and fully qualified in Canine First Aid. Please see my cerificate in my photos. I totally love dogs. I have always had them in my life and am much the better person for it. I am not a smoker nor a drinker. I do not party hard so your house would be in very safe hands and your dog(s) in even safer ones. I am aware to their requirements and needs. I take looking after them very seriously and cannot bear the idea of any mistreatment. I walk and exercise dogs for full time living. I am very lucky to do so and count myself as very blessed. I appreciate what I believe dogs give to me. Total love. Its my duty to ensure they have everything they require. We have a large garden which our dog is always in. The back doors are always open, weather permitting. She has full roam of our house. She sleeps on my bed, most of the day. She eats raw. Walked daily. Loved totally, fuss made of all the time. Depending on a owners home I would design my care of their dog around that home. If there is not enough garden then its walks, often. Be careful in their home and ensure their dogt is always safe and secure.
