“Thank you Maria and family. Jasper had a lovely time with you. It was reassuring to have photos and updates and nice to see what he was up to! Lots of fun and cuddles had - happy boy with you. Thank you. Maria is a super understanding host who pays attention to detail to ensure she fully understands dogs routines and needs. Very responsive to messages.”
“We were so pleased with the care Trigger received during his stay with Alisha and Dan. He had an absolutely lovely time, especially playing with their dog Murphy, which was great to hear! Alisha and Dan were fantastic sitters—friendly, reliable, and clearly very caring. They kept us regularly updated with plenty of feedback, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive dog sitters. Trigger came home happy and relaxed, which says it all!”
“Sammy dog sat for us for 1 night as a trial to see if our dog would be happy and settled. We dropped him off on Wednesday evening and collected him on Thursday evening. Sammy was quick to reply to my check in messges. Geoff was well looked after and we are happy that Sammy has agreed to look after him again in a few months as we know he will be loved and well looked after in our absence.”
“Thank you to Helen and her fantastic family for looking after Rocky for the day. She updated us with photos regularly, so we were in no doubt that he was in good hands. This was Rocky's first time staying with Helen and I'm sure that it won't be his last!”
“We have a nervous dog, so finding the right sitter is always a worry but from the moment he was with Iddy our anxieties disappeared completely. She kept him so busy and engaged, with forest walks, socialising opportunities, adventures, and her kids getting involved too. He was stimulated, happy, and clearly well looked after every single day. She went above and beyond anything we’d hoped for or expected. The care, effort, and genuine warmth she put in was something else entirely. We’ll absolutely be using Iddy again and cannot recommend her enough. She is, quite simply, a gem.”
“Andrea and her husband are so lovely, and so is there dog Bella. They took such good care of willow. I felt very at ease leaving her for the first time in their home and Andrea was super communicative all day, sending lovely updates. Will absolutely use again!”
“We recently had Craig and Jen look after our dog, Eva, while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we booked through Rover, the process was super easy and seamless. Craig and Jen were amazing hosts for Eva, keeping us updated with regular photos and videos of her playing and enjoying her walks. It was so reassuring to see how happy she was, and she even got along wonderfully with their family pet dog! Eva came home content and not at all resentful about us being away—if anything, she seemed like she would have happily stayed with Craig, Jen, and their family longer! It’s clear they treated her as one of their own. We’re so relieved to have found such a loving and welcoming family for Eva to stay with, and we will definitely be reaching out to Craig and Jen again the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!”
“A return visit with Suzanne was once again fantastic. Teddy stayed for 10 days and we received daily videos and updates of any concerns Suzannne had. She is a very caring, reliable and kind sitter and we would not hesitate to use Suzanne again in the future, couldn't be more grateful!”
“Harley boarded with Caroline overnight. Very secure garden. Lots of welcome updates and plenty of walks. Caroline was even kind enough to return the forgotten dog bowl. Would happily recommend her services.”
“We had a wonderful experience with this Elizabeth. I feel very lucky to have found her because she took such thoughtful care of our dog, who recently became blind. Elizabeth is friendly, considerate and great with communications. She made sure our dog felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after during his stay. It’s clear she has a genuine love, patience and understanding for dogs and experience with dogs with special needs. I really appreciated the updates she sent and the caring environment she provided. We look forward to having our dog stay with her again. Highly recommended!”
About: I am 29 years old and a mum to a four year old. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I have always been an animal lover but never had the opportunity to have a pet for myself. I am currently a stay at home mum so am available during the week and at the weekends depending on your needs. My child does attend preschool so I can work around walks without bringing my little one along with me if needed. I am living in a ground floor flat but have a fenced and gated garden so your pet will be safe when roaming in the garden.
“This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone other than friends, and Monique completely eased my worries from the very first meet and greet. Her home is calm, welcoming, and full of love for dogs - it truly felt like the perfect environment for Suzie. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Suzie was happy and comfortable, and the regular updates gave me such peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Suzie up, she was relaxed, content, and clearly had been treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care and kindness Monique showed us both. Thank you, Monique, for making this experience so positive - I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs.”
“Charlotte provided excellent care for our Ozzy. We felt she was very knowledgeable and felt totally at ease leaving him there for a night. She is very responsive and kept us informed. Lots of play and walks. Would definitely recommend her and Ozzy is looking forward to his next stay! :)”
“Absolutely fantastic. Rolo had a lovely time and I felt at ease whilst we were away knowing that Rolo was being looked after by Nick. Thank you so much. Will definitely use Nick again.”
About: I live with my husband Barry on a five-acre smallholding in Shermanbury, with plenty of space, a secure fenced garden and beautiful countryside on our doorstep. I am self employed working from home part time so I’m at home throughout the day with plenty of time so your dog will have lots of company, attention and regular walks. Our own friendly dog, Lulu enjoys the company of other dogs, and we’ll treat your pet as one of the family, making sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Mornings start early with a walk to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Between breakfast and lunch we do enrichment activities to keep things mentally stimulating, followed by a twenty-minute toilet break up to the woods to make sure everyone’s comfortable. After lunch there’s another round of enrichment before dinner, which is followed by an evening walk. Throughout the day there’s plenty of time for play and exercise, so your dog will never be short of stimulation or company. We live on a five-acre smallholding with open space and woodland to explore, plus a fenced garden and a fenced paddock for safe, secure play. There’s loads of room to roam and burn off energy, whether that’s a gentle wander or a proper run-around. The space is set up so dogs can play freely while staying secure, and there’s always somewhere new to sniff and explore.
“Karla was brilliant with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Rowdy. She kept us updated on how Rowdy was settling in, cared for her every need and was lovely to deal with. It’s clear that Karla and her partner love dogs and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 10/10”

“Steven and Jeany were the perfect cat sitters for my 3 cats! They met with me before to go over the arrangements, kept in touch with me while I was away letting me know how the cats were getting on and most importantly took great care of my 3 cats. The cats were all happy when I got home and the house was clean and tidy. Thank you again ♥️”
“Martine and Teresa were absolutely great start to finish. They replied to our initial request very quickly and were able to drop round for a chat the same day.

Highly recommend and would be happy to book again.”

She sent daily photos along with updates, and clearly cares about cats, our little one was so settled and content on our return. Thank you for going over and above Lucy. We appreciate you.”

“Amazing pet sitter, really friendly and helpful. Had a small hitch with our door lock breaking and he kept us informed and was super patience with us. Keeps us really well informed and would definitely recommend.”

About: I'm Eva... a fun-loving, outgoing and bubbly individual. I have been housesitting / petsitting for private clients since 2016. I am passionate about all animals, but dogs & cats are my speciality. I grew up with lots of pets, which help shaped my adoration for caring for small beings. In addition to the above - I do have a small amount of experience for caring for farm animals i.e. chickens, pigs, sheep, horses and goats! My previous job roles within the animal industry include dog day care assistant and trainer, operations assistant at one of the largest dog day care centres in Surrey and one of the head receptionists at my local vets. I have also volunteered at Shoreham Dogs Trust in previous years too. I have been fortunate enough to build a long lasting relationships with my previous clients, often house / petsitting for several years or multiple times a year. I pride myself on providing a professional and reliable service, where I will treat your home and animals the exact same way you would. I am now currently employed full-time. Therefore my working hours are 8am - 5pm, Monday to Friday during the week only. Please send me a message with what you are looking for care wise, and we can look to see what works. When I’m staying at a clients house - I like to ensure I’m fully equipped with any information about the safety of the property i.e any locks / gates/ outdoor space. As well as where the pet needs to be fed, bathed or the area that they sleep best in. I view animals like people - they all have different personalities / likes and dislikes and I’ll treat your pet in the exact same way you would at your own home. It’s super important for them to feel as comfortable and happy as possible! I will always be honest and inform you of any issues or challenges that potentially arise - without causing fear or worry.
About: I grew up around working dogs as well as having a family dog Saffie. She unfortunately passed last summer at age 13. I have a lot of love for her that I want to share to other dogs and animals and I would love to support you and your pet in any way possible. I am happy to work how your animal works best. If they need brain games, or running, or sniffing, or just a slow walk I am very happy to oblige. I have experience working with older dogs and I really understand how difficult it can be to keep them active and comfortable so anything I am able to do for that I will, e.g. swimming, soft ground, etc I am more than happy to do. I am also very willing to work with other animals as well. I have experience with rodents such as gerbils and rats, and I love all animals so anything you've got that needs looking after, I'm open to! Sometimes the freelance work picks up so I become limited on the amount of free time I have but I will keep my calendar as updated as I possibly can! I am working freelance in Film and TV at the moment but I have always had a love of animals, big and small. I have a very flexible calendar and would love to spend my time not working getting to spend some time with animals! I am very happy to meet your dog first to help get to know them and let them get to know me first. I am keen to learn and include everything that you normally like to do with your pet to make them as comfortable as possible
“Sebastian did a great job looking after our cat Rio, sitting at our house. He really helped us out for a last minute booking and everything went super smoothly! Lots of pics and updates on how everything was going. House was spotless when we returned and we were also very grateful (and surprised) that Seb changed our sheets for us - so fresh sheets were very much appreciated as we returned home v late at night!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and had a family dog growing up from when I was 10 years old! I absolutely love dogs and the joy they bring to life. I’ve always looked after my own dog and would take her for walks, feed, play with and bathe her. As an adult my partner and I brought home a Cavapoo puppy Bella in October of 2022 so have experience with a high energy puppy as well. We take her for walks every day and she is well cared for in our home and would love to do the same for your dog! I am currently working full-time but my job is work from home so I am always home during the day so I am available during the day and on the weekends both my partner and I are home and able to dog sit! I live in a ground floor flat which has an enclosed balcony and we have a 1.5 year old Cavapoo to keep your fur baby company! We live right by a park and open field so have plenty of space to get outside and go for walks as well! We do have a spare room so do have the space to keep the dogs separated if need be as well.
About: Aswell as having my own dog and growing up with dogs, I have assisted my mum with her pet care services business in 2017, looking after customers best friends if she wasn’t able too.

With my own woof Lily, we go out for a walk in the morning before I log on, out at lunchtime and then the evening again depending on our plans! I have a suitable garden size for toilet breaks and ball play. I also work full time hours over 4 days so off work Friday to Sunday. I have a fenced and gated garden, we have room for a crate of needed and will have a stair gate to separate access between upstairs and downstairs. We also have a spare bedroom which let’s be honest, is Lily room!
“Absolutely fantastic couple that take amazing care of Molly. She pull's me straight back every time after the meet and greet and always comes home tired from having fun with Murphy. Cant recommend enough a lovely couple with alot of time and knowledge about keeping your little family member safe and entertained.”
“Rusty had a lovely time with Martine. You can tell she's an absolute dog lover and sent us some lovely pictures of Rusty playing with the other dogs. Would 100% recommend Martine to anyone looking for doggy daycare.”
About: My kitten of 18 years passed away last year, so I now have an empty nest. I know from experience how hard it is to find someone you trust to leave your baby with when you need to go away, so I'm offering a home from home for your pet. I have experience in giving all types of medication, and understanding different behaviours... and most important of all, your pet will be welcome up on the couch for cuddles. I am home all day so they will not be left alone, and can send you updates and photos as often as you wish :) I work from home, so your pet will have my attention whenever they want or need. This also means I can fit in any feeding or medication schedual. I will also be free to contact any time. I am home all day, so your baby will not be left alone... unless that's their thing! If they're young and want play time, I'll be there to play... or if they're a bit older and just want to lay on the couch and get stroked I can do that too :)
“Elizabeth was amazing and my young dog instantly took to her. She was calming, kind and Dusty had a great time. It was the first time I had left him but I didn’t need to worry. He was happy any and Elizabeth enjoyed his company too.”
“Wow! Ember was in such safe and engaging hands with Iddy. She trotted off without so much as a second glance and by the looks of the photos had the best day. Super communication and updates about her doggy daycare. Looking forward to her next adventure with Iddy.”
About: I am very flexible on timings and I mostly work from home so able to accommodate throughout the day. Long walks in the woodlands are my favourite thing to do, I am sure your dog will agree with me. Everything can be arranged beforehand and any specific preferences I am all hears. Previously worked for one of the nation's biggest Dog Welfare Charity which allowed me to continuously engage with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavioural traits. I have learned a lot about training, enrichment, and the daily needs of dogs. I understand leaving your friends in the hands of another person can be quite stressful, to minimize this impact I am happy to give you continuous updates on mobile/Whatsapp and accommodate to any other requirements specific to your household. I mostly work from home and have a flexible schedule so I am able to adapt to your pet's needs. Any specific requests please just let me know. I have a house with a large fenced garden, your dog can be safe while playing around the house, and get some outdoor enrichment as well aside from toilet breaks. Furthermore, I will go on long walks to the country park and woodland nearby.

“We didn’t hesitate leaving Winnie with Amy and her family, who welcomed Winnie into their home. It looks like Winnie had a lovely day and we would definitely book again the next time we need doggy day care. Thanks Amy!”
“It seems my anxious pup had a wonderful stay with Charlotte. We did a meet and greet first, and she and Bailey were very friendly and understanding of her anxious behaviour, which really put me at ease. The photos throughout the day of her walks, playing inside, and especially being comfortable enough to relax on the couch were really appreciated. Couldn't ask for more in a sitter!”

About: 🐾Home-from-Home Boarding - One Dog Family at a Time - Secure Garden - WFH Hi, I'm Maria, and I live with my wife Helen and our teenage sons in the beautiful village of Handcross, near Haywards Heath. For many years, our home revolved around our much-loved cockapoo, Sox. After recently saying goodbye to him, we're not quite ready for another dog of our own, but we really miss having a furry companion around the house and would love to share our home, care and affection with your dog. One thing that makes our care a little different is that we only welcome dogs from one family at a time. This means your dog won't have to compete for attention or share their space with lots of unfamiliar dogs. Instead, they'll enjoy a calm, relaxed environment with plenty of one-to-one care and affection. Having cared for Sox from puppyhood through to his senior years, including supporting him with mobility issues and medication, we're experienced in caring for dogs at every stage of life. We're both home during the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention and love throughout their stay. We know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog in someone else's care. That's why we'll take the time to get to know their routine, personality and individual needs, helping them settle in at their own pace. Whether your dog loves long countryside walks and adventures or prefers a cosy spot on the sofa and plenty of cuddles, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and completely at home. Your dog will have free run of our home and be treated as one of the family, just as Sox always was. We have a secure enclosed garden and are surrounded by beautiful countryside, woodland trails and private estate grounds, offering plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment and lots of sniff-filled adventures. We'll also keep you updated with messages and photos during your dog's stay, so you can relax knowing they're happy, settled and being well looked after. We can't wait to meet you and welcome your dog into our home-from-home. 🐾 We’re used to having a dog who enjoyed at least three walks a day, and as we’re both at home, we have plenty of time and flexibility to follow your dog’s usual routine. We offer a calm, safe home from home where your dog is treated like part of the family. Lots of one to one attention without other unfamiliar dogs around 🐾 We would like to keep everything familiar for them, including walks, feeding times, rest and any little extras like medication or special care.
“Geraldine was absolutely wonderful with our little pup! She has a heart of gold and sent me the loveliest updates all throughout the day - I could tell that our furbaby was totally in love with her, and when I collected her at the end of the day she was full of smiles. Could not recommend Geraldine enough - thank you so much for taking such good care of Baby! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbours dogs for over 10 years now. I now also run my own pet care services and dog walking business which has been running over a year now with regular clients daily. We have our own family pet dog who’s 4 now, she’s the most loyal and fun friendly dog anyone could ask for. Loves anyone and anything. Happy family home. I rub my own dog walking and pet care services business, so alongside this I’ll have plenty of time to look after your dog and go for long walks in the farmland nearby. Also if suited they can join me on group walks with my other clients. I have 3 children who all love the dogs we have to stay at our house too so they will always have a lot of fuss made of them. I have a fully fenced safe and secure decent sized back garden and lovely fields and farmland near by available to walk too as well. I’m fully insured, dbs checked and hold animal first aid certificate which I keep up to date regularly.
“Gemma was amazing, I was late to pick up on the second day and she was quite happy to have him a little while longer. Scruff came out happy and very tired both days which helped me a lot ;D. Highly recommend - will use Gemma again if in the area. Thank you! Liam & Scruff.”
“Delilah really looked after Rory (6 month old golden retriever) from 8:30 till 3pm. Rory seems to have had a brilliant time. Delilah sent me several photos of Rory chilling on the sofa with another dog, and out for walks in the fields. It was a really hot day and Delilah was careful to walk the dogs in a shady place. She gave Rory her kibble lunch, and water, and they went for 2 walks. Delilah was flexible when I needed to bring Rory to her half an hour earlier than I'd booked. I will definitely be taking Rory to have some more fun with Delilah !”
“When I dropped Molly off its as though she had been to Sam before, straight in and made herself at home. She had a great time playing with other dogos and then came home and was comatosed. Will definitely be sending molly again and would highly recommend. Sam is a very lovely friendly woman and takes very good care of your pup.”

About: ⭐ Star Sitter Home-from-Home Pet Care in Horsham We provide a calm, home-from-home environment for friendly dogs needing day care, overnight stays, or holiday care. Plus cat care in your own home. Dogs stay with us as part of family life and enjoy plenty of companionship, enrichment, exercise, and affection. For cats and small pets, we offer drop-in visits and care in the comfort of their own home, helping to maintain their usual routine while you’re away. We have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including those requiring medication or additional support. Our care is particularly well suited to friendly companion breeds, smaller dogs, and pets who enjoy a relaxed, family environment. We both absolutely love animals and have always had pets in our lives. We each currently have our own dogs—a small Cavapoo and a Shih Tzu—so we truly understand how much pets mean as part of the family. Between us, we have many years of experience with dogs, cats and small animals, including rabbits. We understand that every pet is different, and we always take the time to get to know their individual routines, personalities and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for. I work on a freelance basis so have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Working alongside me is my friend Teresa who works within a school, who has regular free time in the school holidays, weekends and after school, meaning between us we can offer consistent, reliable care. We each have fully enclosed gardens with plenty of space for dogs to run around, explore and enjoy being outside safely. We both grew up with dogs and cats and have continued caring for family pets over the years, as well as providing feeding visits and check-ins for others’. 🐾 We have experience with dogs and cats at all life stages, from playful puppies/kittens through to seniors, and understand the different levels of care, patience and reassurance they may need. One of our own cats was an indoor Bengal with additional needs, so we are confident administering medication and providing gentle, attentive and patient care, always tailored to each animal’s individual needs. Your pet’s comfort, happiness and wellbeing are always our priority. We aim to provide a calm, reassuring presence so they feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away. We also offer reliable local walks and drop-in visits in the Horsham area, ideal for busy owners, workdays or holidays. We also have very close links to a vet surgery in the area and are able to help with transportation to Vets visits if needed. We’re always happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind and capable hands 💛 🐾 Suitability & Home Environment We offer a calm, home-from-home environment and are best suited to small to medium sized, friendly, sociable dogs who are comfortable around other dogs and in a home setting. As we have our own dogs and may care for more than one at a time, we are not the right fit for dogs with aggressive behaviours or those who prefer to be the only pet. Having said that we never have more than 3 or 4 dogs at any one time to ensure we can give them the attention they deserve. We always arrange a meet & greet to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. If you’d like to have a chat or arrange a meet & greet, we’d love to hear from you 😊 Between us, we can cover all weekly pet care needs. As I work on a freelance basis, I have a flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the day. My colleague works within a school and has regular time off, including holidays, so between us we’re able to offer consistent, reliable cover across weekdays, evenings and weekends. This means we can be flexible to suit your needs and ensure your pets aren’t left without care or companionship. When caring for pets, whether in our home or the owner’s home, we always aim to keep things as calm, familiar and consistent as possible. We take the time to understand each pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any specific needs, so they feel comfortable and settled. In the owner’s home, we respect their space and follow their pet’s normal routine closely, providing companionship, care and plenty of reassurance while they’re away. In our own homes, we offer a clean, safe and relaxed environment with fully enclosed gardens for secure outdoor time. We only take on a small number of pets so we can give them plenty of attention, care and supervision, making sure they feel at ease and well looked after. We’re also very happy to provide updates and photos, so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy, safe and in caring hands.
About: My mum and I have lived with dogs and cats are whole lives. We have a sausage dog named Charlie who is the beloved baby of the family. We also have two cats: Lola and Leo. Charlie and the cats gets along wonderfully with small dogs- the more little doggos around, the merrier! We provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like family. My mum and I both work from home, so there will always be someone around to give your dog attention, playtime, and regular toilet breaks. I’ll be starting my Master’s program in September, but she’ll be happily continuing with dog sitting while I study. Our fenced garden offers a safe space for outdoor time, and Charlie enjoys popping in and out through the cat flap. I’ll be home everyday to take the dogs for walks if desired and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“Philippa arrived on time, and was very calm with my over excited Vizsla. She was also very accommodating when I needed to change the booking. She took Tilly on a nice long walk, and you could tell Tilly had a good work out as she fell straight to sleep when she got back. I would definitely recommend and will be booking again soon! Thank you”

About: I have grown up with dogs since childhood and absolutely love the benefits they bring. From looking after family pets to months worth of animal handling placements I am grateful to have a wealth of experience and knowledge with different animals. I have recently qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon and so I bring a wealth of knowledge including but not limited to first aid, administering medications and senior pet care. I am a newly qualified Vet with plenty of availability over the summer until I find my first job in practice. Please don’t hesitate to contact me and we can create a tailored plan for your pet. I have a secure fenced garden and am happy to walk on or off lead depending on the dog. I can cater for more nervous dogs by avoiding certain places and situations and have experience dealing with this.
About: I’ve always been around dogs and have lots of hands-on experience caring for them. Alongside my own three-year-old Golden Retriever, Milo, I regularly look after family and friends’ dogs, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes and personalities. Milo is a friendly, playful dog who loves walks, swimming and meeting new friends, but I understand that every dog is different and has their own personality. Some dogs love the excitement of group walks, while others prefer their own space and a quieter one-to-one walk — I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes your dog feel comfortable and happy. I’m confident looking after all types of dogs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of exercise and attention, to older dogs who prefer a gentler pace. I’m also happy to follow any routines your dog is used to, including feeding schedules, medication, training routines or any special requirements. My priority is always making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or house sitting, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to offer walks, drop-in visits and house sitting throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine, whether they need a regular daily walk, a lunchtime visit, some company while you’re out, or care while you’re away. I understand that dogs thrive on consistency, so I’ll always take the time to learn their routine, preferences and any little things that help them feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I take the time to get to know each dog individually, including their personality, energy levels and any specific needs they may have. I’m happy to follow your instructions around feeding, medication, routines and anything else that helps your dog feel settled. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog is comfortable and safe, whether that’s enjoying a fun group walk with suitable companions or having a quieter one-to-one walk if they prefer their own space. I’ll always treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I would expect for Milo. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
“James is very reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable about dogs’ behaviour. Dogs are his passion. He deeply cares about them, and I know that I can trust him with my 8 months old german shepherd puppy Roxy. He has been helping me to overcome Roxy’s car anxiety and already on our second session Roxy behaved much calmer in the car. I know I can rely on James that he will take a good care of Roxy when I go to work.”
“We booked Joshua to look after our dog Reuben during our daughter’s wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was kind, attentive, and wonderfully calm, exactly what Reuben needed on such a busy day. He kept us updated, made sure Reuben was comfortable and well cared for, and even helped him enjoy all the attention from curious guests. It gave us real peace of mind to know Reuben was in such good hands. We are very grateful and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. Thank you again!”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with furry (and sometimes feathery!) friends. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, I've always understood how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved-especially when their humans are away. 🐶What I Offer Whether it's playtime in the garden, long walks in the park, or cozy cuddles on the sofa, I tailor my care to suit each pet's unique personality and needs. I want every animal to feel loved, and every owner to feel completely at ease knowing their pet is in good hands. 📸 Peace of Mind I know how comforting it is to receive updates while you're away, so I always send regular photos and messages to keep you connected with your pet's day-to-day adventures. 🦮Experience & References I've looked after pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and I'm happy to provide references from other happy owners. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior cat, or a spirited spaniel, I'm here to give them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work from 9am to 3pm Monday to Thursday. I would be available for home visits before 9am and after 3pm. Friday to Sunday and all school holidays i am available throughout the day! I will follow your requirements for each and every pet. I would be happy to water plants, open or close windows and curtains, clean out litter boxes, feed and water bowls. All while giving your pet some love and attention!
About: Hi! I’m Eszter and I’m a reliable and caring animal lover based in Southwater. I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me! I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind. 😊 My work schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of days off to look after your fur baby! I also have a car and I don’t mind if it gets dirty after a big walk. I live right next to a park so it’s super easy to go for big walks. I also have a small garden if your dog wants some fresh air!
About: I grew up around working dogs as well as having a family dog Saffie. She unfortunately passed last summer at age 13. I have a lot of love for her that I want to share to other dogs and animals and I would love to support you and your pet in any way possible. I am happy to work how your animal works best. If they need brain games, or running, or sniffing, or just a slow walk I am very happy to oblige. I have experience working with older dogs and I really understand how difficult it can be to keep them active and comfortable so anything I am able to do for that I will, e.g. swimming, soft ground, etc I am more than happy to do. I am also very willing to work with other animals as well. I have experience with rodents such as gerbils and rats, and I love all animals so anything you've got that needs looking after, I'm open to! Sometimes the freelance work picks up so I become limited on the amount of free time I have but I will keep my calendar as updated as I possibly can! I am working freelance in Film and TV at the moment but I have always had a love of animals, big and small. I have a very flexible calendar and would love to spend my time not working getting to spend some time with animals! I am very happy to meet your dog first to help get to know them and let them get to know me first. I am keen to learn and include everything that you normally like to do with your pet to make them as comfortable as possible
“Delilah has been brilliant, Pom comes back very happy after his walks and we feel super comfortable with Delilah taking Pom out with all her experience with dogs and WCS. Thank you 😊”

About: I’ve had my retriever ‘Lady’ since December 2021 and she has been a welcome addition to our lives, I enjoy taking her on long walks especially with other dogs where she can socialise. I love animals and have had both dogs and cats all my life. I’ve now got the facility and time to be able to look after others and so I am opening my home up for pet sitting. I also have a cat Simba who is an old boy, his brother lives with my mum and Simba spends time between both houses. When he is here he is friendly and good around dogs (he mainly ignores them and finds somewhere quiet where they aren’t) I’m available to look after dogs from 9am-6pm Mon-Fri and weekends on request. This includes boarding. I am able to come to your home and feed your pets and I am available for dog walking Mon- Sun I have a fenced back garden, that has a locked gate for your dog to run around in. My home is close to lots of fields for dogs to run around in and there are many nice long walks. My home is open to any animals within my care and I am happy to accommodate particular requests - crating, feeding, continue any training that you have. In my home I do not allow dogs upstairs, Lady sleeps downstairs and dogs that board will need to be able to sleep downstairs to. I am happy to take un-neutered males but I cannot provide a service for them if they a. Mark around my home b. Try to dominate/hump my female dog a lot. I am also happy to care for female dogs in season providing I don’t have any un- neutered male dogs boarding.
“Seb helped me with a few walks whilst we were on holiday recently. My dog can be reactive but got on very well with him and didn’t seem to have any issues. Intelligent and empathetic, good at taking on your routine. Seb was also good at coming back to me quickly as our plans changed slightly so will be using him again. Recommended.”

Having a pet is such a special privilege and I treat it as such.

“We were so pleased with the care Trigger received during his stay with Alisha and Dan. He had an absolutely lovely time, especially playing with their dog Murphy, which was great to hear! Alisha and Dan were fantastic sitters—friendly, reliable, and clearly very caring. They kept us regularly updated with plenty of feedback, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive dog sitters. Trigger came home happy and relaxed, which says it all!”
“Thank you to Helen and her fantastic family for looking after Rocky for the day. She updated us with photos regularly, so we were in no doubt that he was in good hands. This was Rocky's first time staying with Helen and I'm sure that it won't be his last!”
“We have a nervous dog, so finding the right sitter is always a worry but from the moment he was with Iddy our anxieties disappeared completely. She kept him so busy and engaged, with forest walks, socialising opportunities, adventures, and her kids getting involved too. He was stimulated, happy, and clearly well looked after every single day. She went above and beyond anything we’d hoped for or expected. The care, effort, and genuine warmth she put in was something else entirely. We’ll absolutely be using Iddy again and cannot recommend her enough. She is, quite simply, a gem.”
“We recently had Craig and Jen look after our dog, Eva, while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we booked through Rover, the process was super easy and seamless. Craig and Jen were amazing hosts for Eva, keeping us updated with regular photos and videos of her playing and enjoying her walks. It was so reassuring to see how happy she was, and she even got along wonderfully with their family pet dog! Eva came home content and not at all resentful about us being away—if anything, she seemed like she would have happily stayed with Craig, Jen, and their family longer! It’s clear they treated her as one of their own. We’re so relieved to have found such a loving and welcoming family for Eva to stay with, and we will definitely be reaching out to Craig and Jen again the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!”
“A return visit with Suzanne was once again fantastic. Teddy stayed for 10 days and we received daily videos and updates of any concerns Suzannne had. She is a very caring, reliable and kind sitter and we would not hesitate to use Suzanne again in the future, couldn't be more grateful!”
“This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone other than friends, and Monique completely eased my worries from the very first meet and greet. Her home is calm, welcoming, and full of love for dogs - it truly felt like the perfect environment for Suzie. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Suzie was happy and comfortable, and the regular updates gave me such peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Suzie up, she was relaxed, content, and clearly had been treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care and kindness Monique showed us both. Thank you, Monique, for making this experience so positive - I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs.”
“Charlotte provided excellent care for our Ozzy. We felt she was very knowledgeable and felt totally at ease leaving him there for a night. She is very responsive and kept us informed. Lots of play and walks. Would definitely recommend her and Ozzy is looking forward to his next stay! :)”
About: I live with my husband Barry on a five-acre smallholding in Shermanbury, with plenty of space, a secure fenced garden and beautiful countryside on our doorstep. I am self employed working from home part time so I’m at home throughout the day with plenty of time so your dog will have lots of company, attention and regular walks. Our own friendly dog, Lulu enjoys the company of other dogs, and we’ll treat your pet as one of the family, making sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Mornings start early with a walk to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Between breakfast and lunch we do enrichment activities to keep things mentally stimulating, followed by a twenty-minute toilet break up to the woods to make sure everyone’s comfortable. After lunch there’s another round of enrichment before dinner, which is followed by an evening walk. Throughout the day there’s plenty of time for play and exercise, so your dog will never be short of stimulation or company. We live on a five-acre smallholding with open space and woodland to explore, plus a fenced garden and a fenced paddock for safe, secure play. There’s loads of room to roam and burn off energy, whether that’s a gentle wander or a proper run-around. The space is set up so dogs can play freely while staying secure, and there’s always somewhere new to sniff and explore.
“Karla was brilliant with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Rowdy. She kept us updated on how Rowdy was settling in, cared for her every need and was lovely to deal with. It’s clear that Karla and her partner love dogs and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 10/10”

“Vanessa is a great and ovely dog carer, the drop off went really well, she sorted Milo sleeping bed next to her two lovely dogs and made Milo feel welcomed straight away and totallyat home! She kept us informed every day of Milo’s days with cute photos and videos and reassured us he was doing great. We will definitely use Vanessa again thank you for taking care of our little rascal and making him one of the family!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Nicola. Despite it being a last minute booking, she and her family took such kind and attentive care of my dog, especially because he was already unwell from the first day, he arrived with gastrointestinal issues and she went above and beyond to keep him clean, comfortable, and well looked after, even cooking rice to help him feel better and making sure he felt right at home. I also really appreciated the level of communication. Nicola kept me updated all the time, which gave me great peace of mind and reassured me that my dog was in safe, caring hands. She was also very mindful of his arthritis, making sure to walk him with extra care. What truly stood out was the level of love and attention she gave him. My dog is part of our family, and it meant so much to see him treated as if he were part of hers. He was genuinely happy staying with them and clearly felt safe and cared for. He also had a wonderful time with their lovely dog, Gino, who is kind and playful. The spacious garden gave them plenty of room to enjoy themselves, and my dog really made the most of it. I’m incredibly grateful for the level of care Nicola provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a genuine dog lover who will make their pet feel comfortable and part of the family.”
“Sinead was amazing, she made us feel very comfortable leaving Arlo with her and her lovely black Lab, Bentley ? We got photos and videos of Arlo and Bentley playing together each day, which was really nice! We would definitely leave Arlo with Sinead and Bentley again, Arlo had so much Fun and Sinead made us feel very comfortable right from the beginning ?”
“My dog felt very comfortable and happy in Nikki's company. She certainly knows her dogs! She was also very understanding when we had to cut short his stay due to an unexpected hospital visit. We have already booked another stay.”
“Indie, my labradoodle, had a brilliant time staying witn Samantha and making new friends. Samantha was incredibly accomodating with the short-notice booking and very friendly. She clearly loves dogs and kept me updated with messages and photos. I will definitely be booking again and I know Indie will be glad to see her and Rocco again!”
“Michelle went above and beyond looking after our dog for the weekend, while we got married close by! She even popped by to allow us to take pictures on our special day with our dog. Michelle has a wonderful home and a gorgeous big garden that is enclosed, allowing dogs to run around freely and safely. We felt very at easy during our dog’s stay knowing Michelle was perfectly trustworthy and knowledgeable re dog care.”
“I felt immediately comfortable leaving hiccup with Katie. I felt totally sure that hiccup would have a great time. I was sent lots of photos and videos. It was the first time I have left hiccup for more than a few days but I was able to relax on our holiday knowing hiccup was in such good hands. I definitely recommend Katie and I would happy book her again.”
“Ana is an amazing sitter. Our dog pepe loves staying with them. I get photo and video updates of him having a great time, will use her everytime im away without hesitation. Thanks Ana!”
“I booked last minute and Luis and family were super flexible. Luis took the best care of Poppy- she had a fabulous time with Luis and his lovely dog. Great communication. Would recommend and 100% would book again. Thanks Luis!”
