“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.”
“Ellie went to stay for a week with Natasha and the first 48hrs were very stressful for us all as Ellie as a puppy struggled to settle, Natasha persevered and the week become a lot better with Ellie settling into a different dog for Natasha and everything going perfect. Natasha is a fantastic host and a very good choice for your pet, we even received photos of Ellie’s stay filling us with so much confidence of our choice.”

“Kathleen cared for Enzo overnight as we had a lot of guests and it would have been too stressful for him. Kathleen got back to all my messages quickly, and nothing was too much trouble. As a result we were not worried about leaving him as we knew he would be really well cared for. Lots of photos and updates throughout. We are very happy to have found Kathleen.”
“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.”
“Bethany and James were brilliant. Communication was excellent and it was obvious how happy my doggy was when I picked him up. Very much recommended! Would definitely use Bethany again if I was in that area. Thank for looking after my doggy :-)”

“Our 2 year old Labrador Archie stayed with Natalie and her family recently for 4 days and nights. I was a little nervous about leaving him as he’s not been left before with anyone outside of the family. I needn’t have worried, he had a brilliant time! He had the company of her own GSD (similar age to Archie) they became best buddies. He’s home for a rest 😂 Natalie sent me loads of updates along with photos and videos where I could see he was having so much fun in her home and on his walks. He was also spoilt by her children who loved playing tug with him. I’d highly recommend Natalie if you want your dog cared for in a loving family setting.”
“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!”
“Joanna is an excellent dog sitter. We had regular updates whilst we were away which were lovely to receive and put us completely at ease. Bob our frenchie pug loved his time with her. She took him on lovely walks and we couldn’t have asked for any more. We’ll be booking again if we ever need dog cover”
“Chelsey welcomed our doggie into her home in such a warm way that we knew instantly she would be really well looked after. We appreciated the updates during the evening and our doggie felt very much at home. Would definitely recommend! And thanks Chelsey!”
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 and Creative 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 a secure 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’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle.

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 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.
“Elsie has clearly had the best day possible today, and that's thanks to the affection Bethany shows her. Elsie is really settled and cared for and looks enormously delighted to have stayed over - in fact on arriving to pick her up Elsie is just the right level of furious to come home with me after, and that's Elsie's way of telling me what a great day she had. Looking forward to next time. 🐾”
“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! 😊”
“Our Yorkshire terrier could not have been more looked after! I think he had a better time then we did on holiday and really got on with the sitters dog. Steve and his wife were so lovely and welcoming and kept us updated throughout the stay. We would have no hesitation rebooking !”

“An other great one with Sam! Came back home and found happy cats and happy home! Second time with Sam and definitely not the last. Thank you very much, take care and see you soon. ”
“Shauna came to visit my boys while I was away for the day. She gave me a full detailed update with some gorgeous photos, fed them, cleaned their litter tray and made sure they had plenty of playtime. The whole experience was completely stress free and I felt totally reassured that my boys were in good hands.”
“Danielle was amazing! She was very attentive to detail when taking care of my sweet girl Lola. If she wasn’t sure about something would always send a message to check to ensure Lola was getting what she needed. Very responsible!”
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: 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 a meeting to introduce Kimberley to Bertie dog and to explain his shorcomings! Kimberley arrived right on time and was charming and professional - I feel very happy about her looking after my old boy when I'm away for the day.”
About: Hello! I'm Frankie, 52, 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 and Creative 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 a secure 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.
“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.”
“Ellie was amazing and took such good care of our two cats! We got nice photos every day and updates throughout. When we came back both cats were happy and content and we couldn't have asked for a better cat-sitter.”
About: Having worked professionally with many different types of animals ranging from primates, reptiles, aquatic animals to all kinds of family pets. I feel it has given me the ability to adapt to the needs of the various individual personalities and different types of animals. I am currently working with aquatic animals and reptiles part time with very flexible hours leaving me available for consideration of your animals care. Growing up with dogs and cats I was always surrounded by animals so I understand the love and care that is needed and how important your animals are and how vital their happiness will be to you. I am an enthusiastic person with love and compassion for animals and I look forward to being considered in caring for your pet. I am currently working free-lance which means I have flexable availability. I am available for house sitting, dog walking and drop ins for your pets. I can fully take care of your pets in your home and I will adapt to their enviromental needs. I can walk your dogs or drop in on your animals.
“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”
“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 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
“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.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats for many years and truly appreciate their individual personalities. Whether your cat is social and affectionate or prefers quiet observation from a distance, I’m comfortable adapting to their pace. I’m naturally calm and very much a homebody. I’m perfectly happy to spend time sitting and reading with a cat nearby, allowing them to come to me when they feel comfortable. I never force interaction and understand how important it is for cats to feel in control of their space. Maintaining routine is a priority for me. Feeding times, litter care, play sessions, and medication schedules will be kept consistent to minimise stress while you’re away. I’m confident administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions, including for senior cats or those with special dietary needs. Because I work partly online, I’m home for much of the day and able to provide regular companionship and supervision. Your cat and your home will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own.
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.

“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!!!”
“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!”
“Juni had a fantastic time with Alida, Daniel and George! I felt really confident leaving her in their care, they kept me updated throughout the day and were accommodating and flexible too. Huge thank you!”

“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.”

“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 ❤️”
“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 :)”
About: Hello! I’ve got lots of availability during the week while between work. I grew up with dogs and cats and know how to take good care of them. I have provided care to many over the years, taking on owner’s instructions and I’ve also fostered a rescue dog who I trained with a trainer which was joyous, intense and humbling all at once! As I don’t have a pet of my own, and I love getting out walking, I’m happy to help local folks out with care. I’m between work at the moment so available throughout the week unless I’ve got existing plans. I can look after drop-ins, walks and day care. I will take on your instructions and not break the rules! If they are on lead only that’s how it will be; if they are not allowed upstairs they won’t be going up there! Etc :) I live in a second floor flat so not ideal for many dogs, I’m happy to offer day care in your home unless your dog is used to flat life. Thanks!
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.
“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!”
“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”
“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: 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’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: 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 and Creative 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 a secure 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.
“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: 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.
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: I've been around dogs my whole life, mainly working with large breeds and hybrids. I started a local walking group in 2021, the Walshes Wolf pack, soon after getting my now 5yr old puppy, 'Shadow' an energetic, pedigree Alaskan Malamute. With him by my side and a few amazing owners of exotic and large breed dogs we bonded together and started to show the local community the power of a pack!

Her calming presence and skills provide any dog liable to anxieties whilst owners are away, she provides ultimate comfort and reassurance that your pets will be treated in the appropriate way to come back to a happy Dog. Since moving back to Crowborough from Hastings for personal reasons I've had to take a step back from hands-on training. Re-branding to dog sitting, walking and group therapy. Whilst I Undertake my further education. Will you join the pack? I'm currently freelance as I am studying further for a Degree in Canine Science and Nutrition, so am free to sit pretty much daily as I can squeeze in study time whilst on the job Lucy is available to help us at the Start of any service to help the transition of 'New faces' and the potential anxieties your dogs may face during your temporary absence. If a dog is struggling during this period, she will be able to assist us when and if necessary. I am acquainted in all areas of canine needs, routines and discipline, be it from crate training to simple time outs. Whilst studying the 'tail talk' of canines and their many traits. I can immediately identify concerns and behaviours, correcting them appropriately and swiftly with the utmost professionalism. Between myself and Lucy, we can confidently reassure you that we are the perfect team for any service and additional needs you may require of us for your pet to have the most seamless, comfortable experience. No matter the age or condition, from puppy to senior, rescue and working and those whom may need that little bit extra support!
“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.”

“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.”

“Our 2 year old Labrador Archie stayed with Natalie and her family recently for 4 days and nights. I was a little nervous about leaving him as he’s not been left before with anyone outside of the family. I needn’t have worried, he had a brilliant time! He had the company of her own GSD (similar age to Archie) they became best buddies. He’s home for a rest 😂 Natalie sent me loads of updates along with photos and videos where I could see he was having so much fun in her home and on his walks. He was also spoilt by her children who loved playing tug with him. I’d highly recommend Natalie if you want your dog cared for in a loving family setting.”
“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!”
“Chelsey welcomed our doggie into her home in such a warm way that we knew instantly she would be really well looked after. We appreciated the updates during the evening and our doggie felt very much at home. Would definitely recommend! And thanks Chelsey!”

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.

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.
“Elsie has clearly had the best day possible today, and that's thanks to the affection Bethany shows her. Elsie is really settled and cared for and looks enormously delighted to have stayed over - in fact on arriving to pick her up Elsie is just the right level of furious to come home with me after, and that's Elsie's way of telling me what a great day she had. Looking forward to next time. 🐾”
“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: Hi, I’m Leah, and pictured with me is my beloved Miniature Pinscher, Lilly, who sadly passed away in November. Dogs have been at the center of my life since the day I was born, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up in Ireland, our home was always filled with animals, and that lifelong passion eventually grew into professional dog boarding and pet care. After losing Lilly, opening our home in Bexhill to dogs has become a deeply meaningful way for me to continue doing what I love most — providing a safe, calm, loving, and enriching environment for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience raising dogs from birth and professionally managed a daily dog boarding business in Ireland from the age of 18. Over the past year, I have also worked alongside a highly rated professional pet sitter, helping manage a wide range of sits involving everything from young puppies to senior dogs with complex medical and behavioural needs. I am confident caring for: * Puppies requiring structure, routine, and positive reinforcement * Senior dogs needing patience, gentle handling, and medication administration * Dogs with separation anxiety or reactivity * Large and powerful breeds, as well as small and delicate companions Throughout my life, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of breeds, including Jack Russells, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Toy Poodles, a German Shepherd, an Alaskan Malamute, and Lilly, my Miniature Pinscher. I also helped raise three generations of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, giving me extensive experience with dogs through every stage of life. One thing owners quickly notice about me is how much pride I take in creating a clean, calm, and welcoming environment. I’m an incredibly homely person and genuinely enjoy maintaining an organised and immaculate space, whether dogs are staying in our home or I’m caring for them in yours. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust completely, and I treat every home and animal with the utmost respect and care. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable. I provide reliable communication, daily updates, and plenty of photos and videos so you can fully relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like family. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and discuss how I can help provide the best possible care while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of time, attention, companionship, and structure throughout the day. I’m highly flexible with my availability and can accommodate boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, and house sitting depending on your needs. Because I genuinely love having dogs around, your pet will never simply be “fit in” around my schedule — their comfort, routine, exercise, and wellbeing will always be a priority. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or prefers a quieter, calm environment, I’m very happy to adapt to what suits them best. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is the most important part of pet care for me. I understand that every dog is different, so I always take time to learn their routines, boundaries, personality, and individual needs to help them feel secure and comfortable. My home in Bexhill is clean, peaceful, and highly organised, with plenty of attention, affection, play, rest, and supervision throughout the day. I am extremely attentive when it comes to safety during walks, feeding, medication administration, introductions, and maintaining routines exactly as owners request. I have a fenced Italian stone garden with access to the seafront and cooler woodland walks and open field space. My car has a dog seat for smaller breeds, and safety buckle leads to ensure their security while travelling in my car. I also have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and pets with medical needs, so I’m confident adapting to more complex care requirements when needed. If caring for your pet in your own home, I will always treat your space with complete respect and maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, communication, and reliability. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for while you’re apart.
“Well what can I say about the amazing Jake. He really cares about the pets he looks after. They all loved him. To know they were being well cared for was a great relief for me. I could totally concentrate on my wedding day. He even sent us photos during the day showing us our fur babies having fun. I would 100% have no worries about recommending him to anyone. We will definitely book him again. He’s a keeper 😁”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m attentive, patient, and skilled in following routines, administering medication, and understanding pet body language. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently a part time worker working short shifts so you fur baby won't be left unattended for long periods of time if I'm fortunate enough to look after them. Fortunately I only work a few days a week aswell so any pet boarding with us will have company almost 24/7. I have a small fenced garden safe for any pet aswell as grassy areas and woods nearby for exciting walks. U have two cats of varying age one 12 years old the other 8 months who are happy to accompany your fur babies. Food beds treats and toys are accessible for all of the pets staying with us.
“This is the first time I’ve ever left a pet in a stranger’s care but I knew right from initial contact with Rebecca that Arnold would be in safe, caring hands. Her communication is excellent and she’s made sure Arnold feels welcome and loved. Arnold has had huge fun with her dog Finn! He’ll definitely be back!”
“I cannot fault Leslie, and Max on looking after my darling Hudson. They always take such great care of him and he gets on with Sage as well which is nice to see him play and have fun. I would recommend Leslie 10 times over.”
About: I have had dogs since a very young age, i’m experienced with many different breeds, ages and sizes! I have attended puppy training classes in the past and trained my own dogs in the past.
