“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.”
“I’m so happy that my dogs were looked after by Alicia & her family. My dogs looked so happy over the days Alicia cared for them, her garden was massive and perfect for them to explore when they needed to stretch their legs. I couldn’t recommend Alicia enough, and so hope she is available again in the future when I need a sitter for my loves.”

“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!”

“Our 7 month old puppy had the most amazing stay with Ross and his family. We were updated regularly about how she had settled and her days out with the family. They all showed so much love and care towards our pup and treated her like their own. She had the best stay with them and went on trips to the beach, woods and even had a little doggy paddling pool. Their family dog Belle bonded well with Skye and they happily played and cuddled. This family really enjoy the company of dogs and they’re the perfect sitters. Our mind was at ease throughout our whole holiday, knowing that Skye was happy and well looked after. Thank you all so much! Skye would love to come back again next time!”

“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. Will definitely ask Sam again next time we will go on holiday. We can warmly recommend Sam 🤗 Thank you for everything. ”
“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.”
“Natasha was perfect cat sitter while we were away for the week. Both cats very happy when we returned. Great updates and pictures and even went above and beyond by taking in numerous deliveries and putting bins in and out while we were away. Thank you so much. Excellent service and will def use again 😊.”
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.
“So pleased and grateful to Deb for helping out in such short notice. Lovely to receive photos of how they were getting on whilst we were away. We can whole heartedly recommend, our cats were happy and chilled out on our return, will definitely be using Deb again x”
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 am missing being around cats and dogs and would love to help out other people who need some support. I have always looked after family/friends animals. I have always been surrounded by animals, and they’ve been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past year, I’ve also had the chance to look after other people’s pets, which has been such a rewarding experience. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending time with them, I truly love caring for animals and making sure they feel happy and loved. 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.
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.
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.
“Ellie was really great when looking after our cat. She was reliable, attentive, and sent us lots of photos on her visits. We came home to a very happy cat and would definitely want her back in the future! 😀”
“As ever, Amy was a wonderful sitter. And a perfect houseguest. Pretty sure it was tidier coming back to than when we left! His Highness wasn't at all bothered about us being away. Which shows how happy he was. Cannot recommend Amy enough, especially if you are nervous when going away and leaving the boss/es.”
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: I specialise in cat and small animal visits, which means I focus on calm, consistent care in the pet’s own home where they feel most comfortable. With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, including long-term cat ownership, I understand how important routine is, especially for cats. Some love attention and play, others prefer a quieter presence, and I always adapt to their individual personality. I’m experienced with senior pets and can provide simple medication if needed. I’m patient, gentle and respectful of both the animal and the home. As a housekeeper, I’m also used to working responsibly in clients’ homes and paying attention to detail, which gives owners extra peace of mind while they’re away. I work as a housekeeper during the day around the school run, so I already have a structured routine and I’m used to being reliable and respectful in people’s homes. I offer cat and small animal visits in the early mornings and evenings, which means I can keep feeding times consistent and give pets calm, unhurried attention. My schedule stays steady throughout the year, so I’m able to commit to regular visits and holiday bookings with confidence. As I offer home visits, I care for pets in their own environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I visit once or twice a day depending on what’s needed, keeping everything calm and consistent with their usual routine. During each visit I’ll feed and refresh water, clean litter trays or cages, give any simple medication if required, and spend time giving attention, play and reassurance. I’m very mindful that some cats love interaction while others prefer a gentler approach, so I always follow their personality and routine. I’m also happy to open and close curtains, collect post and keep an eye on the home while you’re away. After every visit, I send a message and photo update so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“This was our first time leaving our cats alone while going away on holiday, and Kas has been amazing and accommodating of our cats needs, reassuring us that they were happy and well looked after, with plenty of photos. Came back home to well fed, unbothered and happy cats!”
About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember—my first cat, whom I rescued at 10 years old, was my first true love and lived to be 18. I understand how deeply connected we are to our feline companions and the unique care they need. From keeping litter boxes pristine to respecting their personal space (or indulging their need for cuddles), I ensure cats feel safe and content in their home. Whether they’re playful kittens, seniors, or have medical needs, I’m experienced in tailoring care to suit their personalities and needs.
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

“Bill is absolutely amazing. Has a lovely calm presence that makes you feel really confident leaving your dog with him. Poppy has such a great time when she’s there and he really pays attention to her needs and wants which is all you can ask for! Would highly recommend!”
“Joanna was absolute life saver and accepted a last minute booking to look after Reggie. We all immediately felt at ease as she greeted Reggie calmly and obviously understood dogs really well. She took care to ask questions about him before we left and it was clear reggie was going to have a lovely day. We got lots of lovely pics of him lording it on the bed and lying in the garden. He was obviously calm and happy when I picked him up. Highly recommend!!!”
“Daniel and Alida looked after Steve so well. He came home happy and tired. They were delightful to liaise with when making the booking and I was happy to know Steve was in such safe caring hands”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Samantha looked after our rather anxious older whippet for us whilst we visited Hastings. We dropped our whippet off and were pleased from the start as Samantha greeted our whippet (and us) quietly and calmly. Her home also reflected this - a calm, comfortable, pet friendly space. She asked good questions about our pet and her habits, and introduced her own dog later on when ours had had a chance to settle in. She is obviously an experienced, gentle and knowledgeable dog person. If we visit Hastings again we would not hesitate to book Samantha to look after our beloved wee dog.”
“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: I’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle. Looking after my dog over the years has given me a strong understanding of pet care; including feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, administering routines; and recognizing changes in behavior and wellbeing. My professional background has helped me develop excellent observations, communication and caregiving skills. I am trained to be patient, attentive, responsible, and focused on safety, all of which are valuable when caring for pets. I pay close attention to individual needs and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and creating a calm environment. I am confident caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. including senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle exercise, and closer monitoring. I enjoy providing both physical activity and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of personal dog ownership experience, professional caring skills, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family members, and I will treat your furry friend with the same care, respect, and affection that i give my own dog!💗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, cleaning litter trays, and giving pets attention and playtime. I enjoy creating a calm and comfortable environment so cats feel relaxed while their owners are away. I’m organised and reliable, so I always make sure pets are cared for on time and according to their usual routine. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding at the right times, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays thoroughly, and spending quality time playing or giving attention. I’m always respectful of the owner’s home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“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 ❤️”
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.
“These guys were brilliant with our dog. Really went out of their way to help our dog get settled, met beforehand to check the dogs got on, and walked to the house together too on the day again to help our dog settle. Definitely recommend them :)”
“Bethany understood how my separation anxiety was worse than Murphy's. She gave me regular updates during the day, which made me feel at ease. Murphy had many walks and enjoyed the dog friendly cafe. I'll definitely use Bethany again, for sure! Thank you Bethany! xx”

“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!”
“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!”
“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”
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.
About: I have owned dogs most my adult life and cats as well. 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
“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: 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: If you're looking for someone caring to help with walks, or offer daily check-ins I’m here to help. I’ve had a deep love for dogs since childhood and have grown up surrounded by them. From family pets to our own fur babies, dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’m based in the beautiful Hastings Old Town, just a 10-minute walk from both the beach and the country park — perfect for all kinds of dog walks! Whether your pup enjoys a peaceful stroll or loves social adventures, I’ll tailor our outings to suit their personality and needs. We currently have an 8-month-old Labrador Retriever who’s the biggest softie and absolutely adores meeting and playing with other dogs. Sadly, we lost our lovely French Bulldog just before Christmas, leaving a big paw-shaped hole in our hearts. We also share our home with a friendly cat who spends most of her days exploring the woodland at the bottom of our garden. Our home is spacious and spread over five floors with a large, secure garden plenty of room for dogs to run, relax, and feel at home. We're a family of four, including two children aged 13 and 7 who are gentle, experienced with animals, and absolutely love dogs. A little more about me: I work from home, so your dog will have company and care throughout the day apart from quick 15-minute school runs in the morning and afternoon. I’ve owned and cared for many breeds over the years including Staffies, Labs, German Shepherds, Frenchies, Jack Russells, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Rottweilers from the tiniest lap dogs to the biggest gentle giants. I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m happy to accommodate dogs of all ages. All I ask is that they are comfortable around other dogs, children, and have basic manners around the home 😉 If you have any questions or want to know more, feel free to reach out. I’d love to chat and see how I can support you and your four-legged friend
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’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.

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
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.
“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 been around dogs my whole life, mainly working with large breeds and hybrids.

“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.”
“I’m so happy that my dogs were looked after by Alicia & her family.

“Eric and Winnie had a lovely time with Leah. When I dropped them off Leah showed me where the dogs would have access and once I left they both made themselves at home. It was an extremely hot day so they were sensibly not taken on a walk but they had plenty of outside space if they needed. Leah sent me photos and updates during the day which was great and reassuring. I highly recommend Leah and would not hesitate to book her again.”
