“This was the first time we had arranged boarding for our one year-old dog with someone for a few days so quite anxious to find the right person however we were put at ease straightaway having met Monika, who is clearly passionate about animals and caring for other's pets. She was familiar with the particular needs and requirements of our dog's breed. We received regular messages from Monika with photographs of our dog enjoying the long country walks whilst we were away. When we returned, our dog appeared very relaxed and had obviously enjoyed her time and the attention given to her by Monika. Needless to say we have already arranged for the next visit.”
“Olesia took care of my large puppy for a few days whilst I was out of the country and she took great care of my puppy. She gave me updates on what they were up to, sending a video and pictures so that I could relax whilst I was away knowing she was in great hands. Olesia is very caring and has a great connection with the dogs in her care and I would highly recommend her!”
“Abigail was amazing, from a first meet feeling very welcome and allowing our dog to get familiar ahead of his stay, to all the updates during the stay and the service of pick up and drop off. Felt totally comfortable and reassured throughout and would recommend Abi to anyone!!”
About: Hi, I am a mature student looking for pet-sitting jobs. I work in healthcare and have a DBS certificate. I had three rabbits called Theadora, Claude, and Justinian. Thea lived to 12 years old, which is a good age for a rabbit. I had a border terrier called Ruby. I also had a cat at university that was imaginatively called Cat. I look after my neighbour's cats while they are away, and I also had my friend's Chocolate Labrador called Oscar live with me for several weeks while they had housing difficulties. I love walking outdoors and spending time with pets. I am currently working part-time on a Friday. I am starting university in September, and I will be required to attend class every other Wednesday; apart from that, I am a free agent. I have a fenced garden with a very high wooden fence. I own my house, and I live alone. At the moment, I have no pets. My 11-year-old daughter stays with me at weekends.
“After a family emergency I messaged Michael and Lauren at the last minute hoping that they could dog sit for us for a couple of days. We was a bit anxious about leaving Dexter who was only 14 weeks old and we hadn’t left him before. But right away when I first meet them I was reassured but due to my wife not been able to attend dropping Dexter off she was still very nervous which I explained to Micheal and Lauren Within hours of me dropping Dexter off they were keeping my wife updated with how everything was going and how Dexter was settling in with lots of pictures of him going for walks playing with their lovely puppy nova my wife was completely put at ease They continued to do that throughout Dexter whole stay with them myself and my wife would highly recommend Micheal and Lauren to care for your fur babies they are Amazingly loving and caring and treat them like their own. We have already decided they will be Dexter’s foster parents and will he will be staying with them when we are going away on holidays or occasions 10/10”

About: I’ve grown up with cats as pets since childhood.

I don't have any rules for the bed or furniture, so the entire home is for them to use and feel comfortable. I love for the dogs to socialise and meet new friends.

“I was concerned about leaving Alfie and Tikki when I had only adopted them in January. My concern was completely unnecessary. Janet so clearly is used to being around cats and likes being around cats. She spent a lot of time with them, not only with the necessaries but also tending to Alfie and Tikki's emotional needs. I came home to two relaxed cats who immediately forgave me for leaving them. Janet's diary of events awaiting me was comprehensive and entertaining. I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting duties.”

“Big Thank You Hugs to Freya for giving Max wonderful hour of adventure today 💛 Freya came to collect Maxie straight after she'd finished work, which meant a lot to me and I'm so thankful for it 💖 We haven't seen our Freya for a few weeks and Maxie was all over her when he saw she was back. It was so touching and heartwarming to see Max's tail wag at top speed as he kissed Freya to the floor! It was then really funny to peep out of the window and see Freya being taken for a run up the road by an excited Max! Freya must've decided it was her turn to take control, as she later drove Max to the big Hampden Park. I was very pleased to hear that Max is more relaxed in Freya's car, now, as he's previously expressed anxiety. He has another lovely lady who sometimes takes Max out in her car, so between thes”
“Darcy was amazing with atlas and over was so sweet! Atlas absolutely loved his walk with Darcy and was so tired after!! She sent little update messages on how he was the whole time! Couldn’t have picked a better person for my first time using rover! Definitely would recommend :)))”
About: Hi! Here’s a little about me- I grew up with dogs (cocker spaniels & boarder collies) and then I got my beloved Chase, a Finnish Lapphund, when she was just 8 weeks old, up until the age of nearly 15. I have looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years and so not only do I have experience looking after dogs of all ages/ stages of their life, I also understand the bond and love that there is between a dog and its owner. My home is perfectly set up for a dog- gates are in place, beds, food & water bowls, anti-slip carpets for senior dogs whose paws are less stable, etc. The walled garden is secure and there is a convenient park just down the road too. I know how difficult it is to find somewhere that offers complete peace of mind, which is why I would like to offer a home from home for your dog(s), by providing a loving and reliable service for those who benefit and thrive so much more from being in a warm and welcoming household with 1-1 attention. I’m a teacher and therefore I will be able to help during school holidays in particular, as well as weekends. I am also available most Thursday afternoons from 1pm onwards. I have a walled garden and plenty of space for your dog to roam around. I don’t mind them sitting on the sofa (unless you have taught them not to!) and I can easily accommodate a crate should you want your dog to sleep in one rather than on a dog bed. I will typically walk your dog twice daily unless stated otherwise- I will always cater to your dog’s needs.
About: I love all animals, especially dogs! I grew up with many dogs in the family, and have often been relied upon by friends and family to walk their dogs, or look after their pets whilst they're away. I would love a pet of my own one day, but I'm waiting to settle in my own home first. I wanted to be a dog-walker when I was younger, but pursued a career in healthcare instead, and now I'm starting this for the joy of animal's company! I'm currently working part-time, whilst setting up my own business. I work from home, and set my own schedule, so I am very flexible in terms of availability. I live in a rented house with an enclosed fenced garden, and secure lockable gate. I'm not currently offering pet sitting at my home, but happy to care for your pets in your home, as per your usual routine.
About: I have cared for dogs & other animals for over 25 years & just love it! I’ve done training with the IMDT & every 3 years update my dog first aid training. I used to work as a veterinary nurse but I now have a fully insured dog walking business, with many happy customers. My longest running customer has been with me for 18 years! It’s a joy to walk in the countryside that surrounds us, so this is where all my walks take place. I have safe & comfortable van to transport your pooch to the downs, woods & forests surrounding Eastbourne. Your dog will join a couple of other friendly dogs for an hours walk. I cover Willingdon, Hampden Park, Old Town, Upperton, Meads & East Dean areas. Walk times are 9am, 11am & 1pm. Before any walks, I offer a free meet & greet so you and your pet can meet me and we can discuss your needs. Please note, I can only look after sociable dogs who enjoy the company of others, & who are over 1 year old. Please reach out with what you are looking for before booking, as to avoid any disappointment. If you are looking for regular walks then just click one date on the Rover calendar & add in the notes what you are looking for. Many Thanks, Liz Generally my walks take place Monday to Friday but I am on occasion able to offer weekend walks. Walk times are 9am, 11am & 1pm. Whether you need me every day, or just once a week, I’m here to accommodate for you & your dog. All walks take place in risk assessed areas, away from roads and livestock. My specially fitted, air conditioned van ensures your dog will be transported safely.

“Morgan was so good to my dogs. She met us at our flat a few days before the walk so our dogs could get use to her, she was on time and took the best pictures. Will definitely look to her again in the future”
About: I was lucky to grow up with dogs around me, I would walk my grandma's and my neighbour's dog on a weekly basis. I recently volunteered at a dog shelter in Shoreham where I got to walk, train and take care of many dogs, it was an amazing experience and further confirmed my love for them. I always bring water, snacks and toys for my walks! I have recently moved to Eastbourne and renovating a house so I am very flexible with my availabilities. I am available most days and can build your dog's regular walks and playtimes in my schedule for consistency. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and have accumulated a lot of knowledge from my experience at Dogs Trust Shelter in Shoreham.
“This was my first experience of using Rover and I was impressed by the selection and booking process. There was excellent communication with Abi before and after their walk. It was lovely to receive updates and photos of Rosie. I will definitely be using Abi again.”
About: Since childhood animals have been a big parts of my life. Growing up with dogs, cats, and a few others you’d find on a pet bingo card. I understand that they are not just pets, they are part of the family and that it can be an anxious time leaving your pet with someone new which is why dog sitting your pet in its own is important for the comfort and safety. I have been part of our dog’s training program, even as a very small child. As a family we have fostered and helped prepare dogs for rehoming. I love being out doors and going for long walks regardless of the weather. I am available for pet sitting weekday evenings/overnight after 5:30pm or weekends, from 5:30pm on a Friday until 8:00am Monday. I work full time during the week so will need to leave by 8am the following day if weekday, overnight sitting is required. Let me know your house rules and I will fit into your pets daily routine. I will make it like part of my family. Depending on the size of the dog and its physical ability, your pet will come out with me in the day and we will relax at home during the evening.
“Having some mobility issues I needed my Cavalier walked for a few weeks Alice has been great. She messages when she’s coming is on time and has been very careful of Bobby, moving times to cooler periods on hot days. Most importantly Bobby has fallen in love with her. I would happily recommend her.”
“Kerry is a lovely, warm - hearted animal lover. She's flexible and reliable, and enjoyed taking Max, my dog, for a long walk. We had a meet and greet, and Max took to Kerry straightaway. Two days later, Kerry took Max for a walk lasting an hour, and Max was very happy when he returned and is looking forward to his next walk with Kerry. I highly recommend Kerry to anyone who needs a little help with their pets. I trust Kerry with the love of my life and you will too!! Thank you Kerry for helping me out!!”
About: “Sniff, Explore, Exercise — Walks Tailored to Your Dog’s World.” Follow Their Nose Dog Walking I’ve spent 22 years caring for my own dogs, from raising my first boy from an eight‑week‑old puppy to supporting him through heart problems and dementia until he passed peacefully at 17. My second dog Marvin was diagnosed with a liver shunt and complex health needs two years ago and I have cared for him during his surgery and healing, teaching me the importance of patience, gentle enrichment, and adapting walks to suit a dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing. These experiences shaped my passion for supporting senior dogs, nervous dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs who have experienced trauma. I understand how much they benefit from calm handling, predictable routines, and walks that allow them to feel safe and in control. I’ve also volunteered at Raystede Animal Welfare centre, which strengthened my commitment to compassionate, ethical care and deepened my understanding of how different dogs communicate stress, curiosity, and comfort. My Approach I’m happy to walk all dogs, including those who simply need a good exercise walk. But my specialist focus is enrichment‑led sniff walks, backed by research showing that sniffing reduces stress, boosts confidence, and provides powerful mental and physical stimulation. Every walk is tailored to the dog in front of me, whether they need a brisk stretch, a slow confidence‑building sniffari adventure, or a gentle senior‑friendly outing. What I Offer A calm, patient, understanding approach Experience with senior, anxious, reactive, and medically complex dogs Exercise walks for all breeds and energy levels Specialist sniff walks that support emotional wellbeing Walks designed around enrichment, exploration, and choice Follow Their Nose Dog Walking is built on one belief: Dogs thrive when we let them be dogs—sniffing, exploring, and experiencing the world at their own pace. Caring is at the heart of everything I do. I work Monday to Thursday for an older people’s charity, so empathy, patience and support are already part of my daily life. Pet care naturally fits alongside this — it’s something I genuinely love, not something I squeeze in. I offer dog walking 6.30pm–10pm Monday to Thursday, which is perfect for owners who work late, need evening support, or want their dog to have a calming enrichment walk before bedtime. I’m also fully available all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving clients plenty of flexibility for regular walks, weekend adventures, or last‑minute bookings. My own 22 years of caring for dogs with complex needs has shaped how I work: calmly, gently and with a deep understanding of senior dogs, nervous dogs and those who need a little extra patience. Whether it’s an energetic dog needing exercise or a sensitive dog needing a slow, sniff‑led walk, I build my routine around what helps them feel safe, stimulated and happy. Pet care isn’t an add‑on to my week — it’s a natural extension of who I am and the work I’ve always done: supporting others with compassion and consistency. I prioritise safety, calm handling and consistency in every service I offer. For dog walking, I use secure equipment, choose safe routes and tailor the pace to each dog’s needs whether that’s a brisk exercise walk or a gentle, enrichment‑led sniff walk. For pet sitting in an owner’s home, I follow the dog’s usual routine to keep them settled and stress‑free, treating both the home and the pet with the same care I give my own. My friendly Jack Russell can also join walks if a dog would benefit from a confident, sociable companion always optional and based on what suits each individual dog.
About: I have looked after animals all my life, have housed multiple cats, I will also be caring with my partner who is also an animal lover, shes a dog lover and I'm a cat lover. I have DBS and previously SC cleared as per my jobs requirements, so you can be rest assured your house and pet will receive the best love and attention. Afternoons and Evenings would be best. Happy to stay in homes when you're away and care for your pet. Weekends are always best but my schedule can be freed up for walks, I can house sit 7 days a week and for as long as you need. I am always attentive to my cat and the needs of other pets, sadly I recently had my cat become quite unwell quite quickly and I rushed him to the vet as I wanted him to have immediate care as keeping him healthy is very important to me.

“This was the first time we had arranged boarding for our one year-old dog with someone for a few days so quite anxious to find the right person however we were put at ease straightaway having met Monika, who is clearly passionate about animals and caring for other's pets. She was familiar with the particular needs and requirements of our dog's breed. We received regular messages from Monika with photographs of our dog enjoying the long country walks whilst we were away. When we returned, our dog appeared very relaxed and had obviously enjoyed her time and the attention given to her by Monika. Needless to say we have already arranged for the next visit.”
“Olesia took care of my large puppy for a few days whilst I was out of the country and she took great care of my puppy. She gave me updates on what they were up to, sending a video and pictures so that I could relax whilst I was away knowing she was in great hands. Olesia is very caring and has a great connection with the dogs in her care and I would highly recommend her!”
“Abigail was amazing, from a first meet feeling very welcome and allowing our dog to get familiar ahead of his stay, to all the updates during the stay and the service of pick up and drop off. Felt totally comfortable and reassured throughout and would recommend Abi to anyone!!”
About: Hi, I am a mature student looking for pet-sitting jobs. I work in healthcare and have a DBS certificate. I had three rabbits called Theadora, Claude, and Justinian. Thea lived to 12 years old, which is a good age for a rabbit. I had a border terrier called Ruby. I also had a cat at university that was imaginatively called Cat. I look after my neighbour's cats while they are away, and I also had my friend's Chocolate Labrador called Oscar live with me for several weeks while they had housing difficulties. I love walking outdoors and spending time with pets. I am currently working part-time on a Friday. I am starting university in September, and I will be required to attend class every other Wednesday; apart from that, I am a free agent. I have a fenced garden with a very high wooden fence. I own my house, and I live alone. At the moment, I have no pets. My 11-year-old daughter stays with me at weekends.
“After a family emergency I messaged Michael and Lauren at the last minute hoping that they could dog sit for us for a couple of days. We was a bit anxious about leaving Dexter who was only 14 weeks old and we hadn’t left him before. But right away when I first meet them I was reassured but due to my wife not been able to attend dropping Dexter off she was still very nervous which I explained to Micheal and Lauren Within hours of me dropping Dexter off they were keeping my wife updated with how everything was going and how Dexter was settling in with lots of pictures of him going for walks playing with their lovely puppy nova my wife was completely put at ease They continued to do that throughout Dexter whole stay with them myself and my wife would highly recommend Micheal and Lauren to care for your fur babies they are Amazingly loving and caring and treat them like their own. We have already decided they will be Dexter’s foster parents and will he will be staying with them when we are going away on holidays or occasions 10/10”

“Rachel is incredible- she looked after our Dachshund so well.. Rachel is an animal lover and that radiates off her; my dog warmed to Rachel instantly- which was so comforting and reassuring. I highly recommend Rachel; she is professional, kind and very knowledgeable in pet care. When I fetched my dog after our holiday- he was happy and looked like he had - had a good holiday himself!! Rachel sent daily updates of my dear dog daily…. Which was very nice to receive as our dog is very much part of the family and we missed him so much but Rachel’s amazing care put us at ease.”
