“I had a wonderful experience leaving my dog Flo with Joanna for one week while I was abroad. Joanna was patient, caring, and sent regular photos and feedback every day. I felt totally at ease and will use Joanna's service regularly throughout the year. Highly recommended! What I Loved: Daily updates with cute photos; Kind and patient care for Flo; Great communication while I was away; and Total peace of mind on my trip Future Plans: Will book again very soon for daily care and overnight stays; and I Plan to use Joanna's service regularly all year”
“We left our dog Kiwi with Natasha and her family, and she was looked after extremely well and the pictures sent highlighted exactly that. I would highly recommend, and am extremely grateful for the care of our dog.”
“Another awesome day where Freddie was treated like a king. Walks on the beach. Fun with toys in Bethanys’ garden. Such a relief to know he’s having as much fun as we have x”
“I could not have been happier leaving my 18 week old pup with Elizabeth and her husband. It was our first time being away from our Bailey, and they were absolutely amazing with her! I was kept up to date all day with messages and pictures, and Elizabeth’s husband even did some training with her! We would absolutely be using Elizabeth and her husband again. Thank you both for making it all so easy! 😊”
“Both dogs looked like they had an amazing time. Frankie was very accommodating with my change of plans and facilitating a pick up and drop off with my ex for jezza. She took some amazing pics of Jeremy too.”
“Daniel took great care of Duke while I was away!! He sent pictures a few times a day and also short videos on Duke’s walks...it gave me the peace of mind that Duke was safe and being cared for :) Also, Daniel’s flat is a quick walk from a tube stop so that made the drop-off journey much easier. Thank you!!!!”
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
“Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!”

About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
About: We have a standard poodle in the family, she is pretty much the centre of the family. Our children love her and the best friends of her. Over the years, we always have animal with us ,dog , cat, at the moment we still have 3 chicken in the garden. We walk the dog twice a day in the woods or in the open fields. Happy to answer any enquires. We will treat your dog as part of the family, as we all know our fury friends are family members. Daily Photo and videos will be sent to the owner to “settle your emotion for your fury baby”😊 Most times We have people at home, we have a restaurant which is fully staff operated, only needs to manage remotely and occasionally pop in to the old town to make sure everything is running smoothly. I have a fenced garden to make sure dog and chicken in the safe environment. There are two or three big fields and park nearby, will also make sure dogs have plenty exercise.

“Absolutely perfect! Sam has been a perfect cat sitter with our boys. Great communication with us also with daily photos, videos, messages. We came back in a clean house with 2 happy cats.

About: Hello! I'm Frankie and I live in St Leonards, just a short walk from the beach. I'm a mum of two teenagers who are mostly off living their own lives these days, so my home is a lot quieter than it once was. I work from home as a Brand Project Manager for St John Ambulance, which means I can provide plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I've had cats at various points throughout my life and have always loved their unique personalities. Whether they're confident lap cats who want to be involved in everything, or independent souls who prefer to observe from a comfortable distance, I'm happy to let them set the pace. I live in a ground floor garden flat with an enclosed garden and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Because I work from home most of the time, visiting cats won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship if they want it. I understand that every cat is different. Some want cuddles, some want conversation, and some simply want someone reliable to provide food, comfort, and a familiar routine. I'm happy to follow your cat's normal schedule and any specific instructions to help them feel settled and secure. I'm not quite ready to commit to having pets of my own again, but I miss having animals around and genuinely enjoy caring for them. If you're looking for someone responsible, experienced, and happy to provide a calm home away from home for your cat, I'd love to hear from you.
“Natasha was looking after my cats while I was gone for a few days to visit a friend. She was really good at communicating and my cats were very well looked after 💕 i would highly recommend her services”
“Kate took great care of my cat, sending me regular updates too. She spent time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. I came home to a very happy cat. Highly recommended 💕”
About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s two cats for the past two years house sitting whilst they go on holidays. They constantly have access to come and go as they please! Tracker collars are stored away incase they ever need to be used to ensure cats safety whilst having a blast playing outside all day!
“Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.”
“Mila had looked after my 2 cats twice and has been fantastic! She videos her arrival and when she leaves, sends lots of reassuring messages and photos. She clearly loves animals and is kind and gentle with them. My cats are both rescues and extremely scared of new people but were very relaxed around Mila. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had cats from a very young age and understand how different every cat’s personality and needs can be. Friends, neighbours and family have trusted me to feed, play with and care for their pets while away. I’m calm, patient and reliable, and I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy caring for shy, playful or older cats and always make sure they get lots of attention, affection and routine. I have completed DBS checks as part of previous employment. I understand the importance of caring for both pets and owners’ homes responsibly, and I always aim to provide a safe, dependable and friendly service.
About: My family have had dogs since before I was born, and growing up I have always taken on responsibilities looking after them! Whether that be walking, feeding, playing, or cuddling, I am ready and willing. I am confident with dogs of all ages and sizes, and ready to be their companion when you aren't able. I am currently a University student who is back for the summer. Because of this, I am free most days, at any point, and am able to stay in the pet owners home as needed. I will communicate with the pet owner as to what a normal routine looks like for the dog or cat and try to emulate this as much as possible to keep the pet comfortable. I need to know details such as how the pet is around other dogs and animals, what kind of walks do they go on. The top priority is the dog, and that they remain happy and healthy which is why I would prefer to meet the dog and owner beforehand, just to ensure that everyone goes into the service ready and comfortable.
“Eleanor was brilliant - we had only just moved back to Hastings, and were promptly off on a trip across the other side of the world, so were a little worried about our two furry friends. We needn’t have been - Eleanor checked in every day with feeding and picture updates, and she clearly bonded with our two cats. Would highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Amy for pet sitting. She is friendly and kind and made me feel safe leaving my cat for three nights. Bonnie is an ex ferel cat and does not trust easily. Amy got around her and gave her confidence. I am delighted to have found Amy and look forward to using her again.”
About: I have always had cats since a small child, my first cat was called Sophie and I had her for 20yrs! My daughter when she was born of course had to be called Sophie in her memory!! Now I have a beautiful Maine Coon called Bowie who is absolutely amazing
About: I have been looking after pretty kitties for 4 years! You will definitely receive 100s of photos of your cats all of the time :) I am currently at university looking to make some extra money to cover my costs! If it is just checking in and feeding I would prefer when it is light :) I have my own cat so I understand pets deserve space and time to settle into meeting new people! My cat is very timid so I will try my best not to overwhelm as I understand how they feel! Of course if your pet is very friendly I am more than happy to shower your furry friend in love! I can clean litter trays, wash up pet dishes and provide pill medication if needed.
“We came home to two very happy and relaxed cats after Kasia looked after them for three days. We opted for house sitting as opposed to pop in visits and what a difference it made to our furry babies! They had obviously been really glad to have their regular daily routine undisturbed as well as the company, strokes, cuddles and games they got from Kasia who followed our instructions really well and left our house in perfect condition. Our cats warmed to her really quickly which was a great sign as they are both quite sensitive and we got updates and photos on a daily basis making us feel relaxed and confident that they were in good hands. We would highly recommend Kasia as she was reliable and trustworthy with an obvious flare for bonding quickly with other peoples pets. Thank you Kasia 😻”
About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for cats and grew up with cats of my own, so I understand their individual personalities, routines and ways of communicating. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, earning more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. I have cared for confident, sociable cats as well as more nervous or independent cats who need extra patience and space to settle. I also had a diabetic cat of my own, so I am experienced in administering medication and following strict feeding and treatment schedules. I am comfortable caring for cats with additional health needs and understand how important it is to follow an owner’s instructions carefully and consistently. Whether your cat enjoys lots of attention and playtime or prefers quiet company on their own terms, I will adapt my care to suit them. I will keep their litter area clean, maintain their usual routine and send regular photos and updates so you know they are happy and well cared for.

“Jo is absolutely amazing with Poppy. Sends lots of lovely updates of the fun they’re having together throughout the day and Poppy always is so excited to spend time with her. So kind and caring of her needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Thank you Philippa for taking such good care of my whippet. He was happy and relaxed when I came to collect him. And I loved the picture updates. I felt reassured he was well looked after whilst he was with you. Hopefully see you again!”
“Madalyn truly loves dogs and my boy feels very comfortable with her and her pooches. After the first day, he had such a wonderful time that he now drags me to the door and toddles off to play with his new best friends and snuggle Madalyn. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in a home surrounded by happy, well-looked-after dogs, and treated as part of the family rather than just a booking. I got regular updates, photos, and could see how relaxed and content he was the whole time. It’s obvious that Madalyn understands dog behaviour and goes above and beyond to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about dogs, this is the perfect place. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: Hello! I'm Frankie and I live in St Leonards, just a short walk from the beach. I'm a mum of two teenagers who are now busy living their own lives, which means my home is a little quieter these days. I work from home as a Brand Project Manager for St John Ambulance, and I'd love some canine company during the week. Dogs have always been part of my life. Growing up we had family dogs, and as an adult I've owned a Labrador and spent plenty of time around Bearded Collies, Staffies and Jack Russells. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I live in a garden flat with an enclosed garden, and because I mostly work from home I can easily fit in two or three walks a day. I'm also looking for an excuse to spend more time outdoors, so your dog will definitely not be short of exercise, attention or affection. My home is very much a dog friendly home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa for cuddles and company while I work or watch TV in the evenings. I'll happily follow any routines, feeding schedules or house rules that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. I usually travel to London one day a week for work, but this is flexible and can be arranged around bookings if needed. I'm not quite ready to commit to having a dog of my own again, but I miss having dogs around enormously. Looking after other people's dogs feels like the perfect solution. If you're looking for someone reliable, experienced and genuinely delighted to spend time with your dog, I'd love to hear from you ❤️ I work from home most of the week as a Brand and Creative Manager for St John Ambulance, so I'm around for company, feeding, toilet breaks and walks throughout the day. I usually travel into London one day a week, but this is flexible and can be planned around bookings where needed. Outside of that, I have plenty of time for pets and can comfortably fit in two or three walks a day for dogs. My own children are teenagers and rarely at home now, so I have the time, space and energy to give visiting pets lots of attention and companionship. I live in a ground floor garden flat in St Leonards with a secure enclosed garden and plenty of nearby walking routes, including the seafront. Pets are welcome as part of the household and will be treated as members of the family rather than left on their own all day. I've lived with dogs for most of my life, including Labradors, Staffies, Bearded Collies and Jack Russells, and I'm comfortable following individual routines, feeding schedules and care instructions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing, sofa cuddles or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, settled and cared for while you're away. As a manager at St John Ambulance, reliability, responsibility and trust are a big part of my day to day life.
“Matthew and Tony were excellent! Incredibly flexible with a short notice booking, early start time and a pick up time based on a hospital appointment. Trixie had a brilliant time, lots of running and playing chase. Matthew put her at ease really quickly and dealt with a sensitive dog really well. I would highly recommend Matthew, and I will 100% use him again.”

“Elizabeth has a great space for looking after dogs. Our dog Violet settled easily and was very happy when we picked her up and had clearly had a good play as she fell asleep right after we picked her up. Thanks so much, if we ever need a dog sitter in the area again we'll definitely look you up.”
“Nawal took such beautiful care of Pablo. He’s a gigantic high energy puppy who can be a handful when he’s bored, but she was completely unphased, gave him loads of exercise, mental stimulation and love, and shared photos and updates with us all day so we felt totally at ease. She has magical calm energy, and is a genuine animal lover. Pablo didn’t want to leave!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from hamsters to horses—and caring for them is second nature to me. I’m a passionate pet lover and proud pet parent to a friendly Labrador and a sweet, cuddly cat. Both are well-behaved, well socialised and great with other animals. I live in a pet-loving household with two young children who adore animals. While they won’t be involved in the care of your pet, they’ll be around to offer some supervised love and attention—perfect for pets who enjoy extra cuddles! Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of family and friends, and now I’m excited to welcome your furry companion into our home. I have experience with puppies and have personally trained my Labrador, attending puppy training and pet first aid courses to ensure I’m prepared for a variety of needs. Whether it’s a stay at our home or a daily walk, your pet will be treated like family. I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. Long walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of affection are all part of the package! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! I work from home a few days a week in the emergency services, and my husband works from home as well. So I’m home often and able to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have two wonderful children who absolutely adore animals, and while they won’t be involved in pet care, they love offering supervised affection and cuddles. I'm very active and enjoy both short and long walks with our Labrador, so your animals will get plenty of exercise and playtime. I'm well-prepared for all kinds of weather—rain or shine—and have a variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I have a spacious four-bedroom home with a fully fenced, large secure garden—perfect for safe outdoor play and exploration. Pets are welcome to make themselves fully at home here, with full access to the entire home. If your pet enjoys extra snuggles, they’re more than welcome on the bed for cozy cuddle time! The back door is usually open during the day, allowing pets the freedom to move between indoors and outdoors as they please.
“I've never felt so at ease so fast with people looking after our lovely friendly Elsie. The love and care is so visible across all our messages, in person interactions and the lovely photos Bethany shared of Elsie spending the day at their home. Elsie was, unsurprisingly, livid at me taking her home. I look forward to Elsie's future visits ❤️”
“Jordie has looked after my whippet Bailey twice now and taken great care of him. Jordie is friendly, welcoming and understanding of dogs' needs. Bailey has returned both times very happy and calm and I'm more than happy for him to stay with Jordie again. Thanks.”

“I can’t recommend Natasha enough! They are incredibly consistent and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m working. My dog absolutely loves their walks, and I love knowing I can rely on them 100%. Five stars!”
About: I’m an experienced pet/house sitter, having looked after everything from blind toy poodles to escape artist hamsters in their homes - including managing baths, medication and vet visits. I grew up with beautiful energetic dogs and affectionate cats, and adore spending time with animals. I have a slew of friends’ dogs for who I’m the go-to person for overnight stays and walks, and like to get close to the pets I look after. I’ll always follow your instructions for your pet to the letter (but will have a sweet spot for dogs that are allowed cuddles with me on the sofa 🙂) I am currently not working and so can be very attentive to your pet. I am very flexible about timings (pick ups, drop offs, arrivals), walking times and duration of care. I have a car (although it has a closed boot so can only carry dogs on the back seat) I like pet sitting in the animal’s own home as it puts them at ease and smooths the discomfort that can come from being looked after by a new person If you prefer them at my place, my basement flat has a very safe walled garden, but I also have access to a beautiful park-like communal garden, and the park and seafront are 5 mins from my flat.
“Reggie has loved his walks with Danielle and is so excited to see her each time. Danielle is trustworthy, friendly and it’s lovely to know that Reggie is in such safe hands on his walks. Will definitely check if she is free if Reggie needs walking again. Many thanks”
“Regularly book Kathy for walks for my dog Milo to often break up some time he’s alone if I go out. Wouldn’t want to go to anyone else now! We had A few not so great experiences with dog care when we moved to the areas and before meeting Kathy and I wasn’t sure how Milo would take to a new dog Walker. Safe to say we both love Kathy!”
About: Hi, I’m Matt and I live with my partner Caitlyn in Hastings in a house with a garden - we both absolutely love dogs however our busy work schedule mean we cannot have one of our own. We love being outdoors, gong on long walks on the beach, in the woods and in the country side. We both grew up with dogs and miss looking after them so we love taking care of other dogs instead! I’m working full-time Monday-Thursday 08:00-18:00 in the local Hospital so I am not able to be on my phone much at these times - I work some weekends but this will be listed on my availability I have a walled garden which is dog secure - my home has an upstairs and downstairs so can always find somewhere cosy for your dog to sleep. We have plenty of space inside for them to explore plus a big comfy sofa for cuddles if your dog is allowed on the sofa

I am very energetic and love walking, also very patient and love cuddles with my furry friens I only work part time now so have lots spare time to build my business of looking after animals. I can also do weekends and some evenings if needed I would ask the customer how they want there pet looked after and stick to there instructions and routine. I would also give lots of love and care
About: I’ve shared my home with cats and dogs since childhood. I have enjoyed caring for family and friends pets when they are on holiday. I am confident and have experience in caring for elderly dogs and have lots of patience and love for them .I also have experience in training young dogs. I have recently retired from the nhs and moved to St. Leonard’s and looking for a job that is rewarding and flexible and fulfilling my passion for animals. I enjoy the outdoors and love spending time out in nature. I would be happy to care for your dog in your home or at my home. I have an enclosed garden and live near the beach.
“Amy was lovely & friendly. CúSí took to her straight away. She came well prepared for walking with bags, water and a pop up bowl. She was flexible in changing the walk time to an earlier one due to hot weather. CúSí came home chilled and happy after an hour's walking. I'd definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a dog walker and I have no doubt she'd also excel at pet sitting services too.”
About: My family have had dogs since before I was born, and growing up I have always taken on responsibilities looking after them! Whether that be walking, feeding, playing, or cuddling, I am ready and willing. I am confident with dogs of all ages and sizes, and ready to be their companion when you aren't able. I am currently a University student who is back for the summer. Because of this, I am free most days, at any point, and am able to stay in the pet owners home as needed. I will communicate with the pet owner as to what a normal routine looks like for the dog or cat and try to emulate this as much as possible to keep the pet comfortable. I need to know details such as how the pet is around other dogs and animals, what kind of walks do they go on. The top priority is the dog, and that they remain happy and healthy which is why I would prefer to meet the dog and owner beforehand, just to ensure that everyone goes into the service ready and comfortable.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with chickens horses dogs and cats. I currently have a tabby cat called Milo and a Cockapoo called Buddy, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels and routines. I’m friendly, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s long walks, company during the day or keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I have completed DBS checks as part of previous employment. I understand the importance of caring for both pets and owners’ homes responsibly, and I always aim to provide a safe, dependable and friendly service. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine as I have both a dog and a cat myself. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime and giving pets attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy being outdoors and active, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than a chore. I’m flexible during the week and happy to work around pets’ usual routines to help them feel comfortable and settled. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality and any special requirements they may have. In a pet owner’s home, I would respect their space, follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for reassurance too. Safety, patience and kindness are always my priority.🐾
About: Hello! I'm Frankie and I live in St Leonards, just a short walk from the beach. I'm a mum of two teenagers who are now busy living their own lives, which means my home is a little quieter these days. I work from home as a Brand Project Manager for St John Ambulance, and I'd love some canine company during the week. Dogs have always been part of my life. Growing up we had family dogs, and as an adult I've owned a Labrador and spent plenty of time around Bearded Collies, Staffies and Jack Russells. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I live in a garden flat with an enclosed garden, and because I mostly work from home I can easily fit in two or three walks a day. I'm also looking for an excuse to spend more time outdoors, so your dog will definitely not be short of exercise, attention or affection. My home is very much a dog friendly home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa for cuddles and company while I work or watch TV in the evenings. I'll happily follow any routines, feeding schedules or house rules that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. I usually travel to London one day a week for work, but this is flexible and can be arranged around bookings if needed. I'm not quite ready to commit to having a dog of my own again, but I miss having dogs around enormously. Looking after other people's dogs feels like the perfect solution. If you're looking for someone reliable, experienced and genuinely delighted to spend time with your dog, I'd love to hear from you ❤️ I work from home most of the week as a Brand and Creative Manager for St John Ambulance, so I'm around for company, feeding, toilet breaks and walks throughout the day. I usually travel into London one day a week, but this is flexible and can be planned around bookings where needed. Outside of that, I have plenty of time for pets and can comfortably fit in two or three walks a day for dogs. My own children are teenagers and rarely at home now, so I have the time, space and energy to give visiting pets lots of attention and companionship. I live in a ground floor garden flat in St Leonards with a secure enclosed garden and plenty of nearby walking routes, including the seafront. Pets are welcome as part of the household and will be treated as members of the family rather than left on their own all day. I've lived with dogs for most of my life, including Labradors, Staffies, Bearded Collies and Jack Russells, and I'm comfortable following individual routines, feeding schedules and care instructions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing, sofa cuddles or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, settled and cared for while you're away. As a manager at St John Ambulance, reliability, responsibility and trust are a big part of my day to day life.
About: I have always had cats or dogs in the household. It doesn’t feel like home without them. I have recently moved and am waiting for a good time before getting another pet.

I have plenty of time to spend with your little once. I can do most week days after 10. And am available some weekends after 10. I will care for every animal with love, patience, and attention, always making their safety my top priority. I create a warm and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed, happy, and well looked after. Building trust is just as important, I take the time to get to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and loving space where every pet feels at home.

“Shaunna was fantastic with Luna! She arrived on time, was super friendly, and took her to doggy splash, which Luna absolutely loved. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend Shaunna to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I’ve owned rescue Greyhound’s for 20 years and despite being a Specialist Nurse am now training to be a dog behaviourist with the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training. I have cared and trained family and friends dogs and worked with some very experienced Dog Trainers. I care and work with all breeds but my specialty are sighthounds. I am now concentrating on my dog business as I have left the NHS behind. I am currently studying and training dogs so my daily routine is very flexible right now. I can offer drop-ins, dog walks and sitting weekdays and some weekends. My overnight dog sitting rate of £90 in your own home includes daytime (usually 20-21 hours) and includes any walks your dog/dogs need. My dog has the run of the house. She is very clean and well trained and great with other dogs. I can have one other dog in my home for dog boarding and sitting.
“Robert has been so good with walking my dog Diesel, other dog walker have cancelled because he can be alot of work, but Robert has really adapted to work with diesel to ensure he gets the care needed.”
About: I've grown up looking after many types of animals at home including dogs, cats, rabbits and even chickens!

“We left our dog Kiwi with Natasha and her family, and she was looked after extremely well and the pictures sent highlighted exactly that. I would highly recommend, and am extremely grateful for the care of our dog.”
“Both dogs looked like they had an amazing time. Frankie was very accommodating with my change of plans and facilitating a pick up and drop off with my ex for jezza. She took some amazing pics of Jeremy too.”
“Daniel took great care of Duke while I was away!! He sent pictures a few times a day and also short videos on Duke’s walks...it gave me the peace of mind that Duke was safe and being cared for :) Also, Daniel’s flat is a quick walk from a tube stop so that made the drop-off journey much easier. Thank you!!!!”
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
“Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!”

About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
About: We have a standard poodle in the family, she is pretty much the centre of the family. Our children love her and the best friends of her. Over the years, we always have animal with us ,dog , cat, at the moment we still have 3 chicken in the garden. We walk the dog twice a day in the woods or in the open fields. Happy to answer any enquires. We will treat your dog as part of the family, as we all know our fury friends are family members. Daily Photo and videos will be sent to the owner to “settle your emotion for your fury baby”😊 Most times We have people at home, we have a restaurant which is fully staff operated, only needs to manage remotely and occasionally pop in to the old town to make sure everything is running smoothly. I have a fenced garden to make sure dog and chicken in the safe environment. There are two or three big fields and park nearby, will also make sure dogs have plenty exercise.
“Marta is very reliable. She sent lots of photos, videos and message updates while we were away. She took her on long walks everyday. Let her cuddle on he sofa and bed. Will definitely be using her again”
“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.”
“Leslie and Max have been lovely dog sitters! Super attentive and made my anxious dachshund feel immediately comfortable with them and their lovely dog Sage. We’d love to use them again in future!”
“Mitsy spent 4 nights with Bethany and her family. It was clear from the photos we received and updates that Mitsy was very well looked after, happy and settled where she was and very much treated like part of the family.”
“Highly recommend! Despite booking this visit at short notice, Jake was extremely quick to respond. Leah was fabulous and obviously cared immensely about taking the best care of Oggy. He had a great time and I was updated very regularly with lovely pictures and videos. Oggy can’t wait to go back and stay there again!”
