“Omg where can I start! Absolutely amazing I couldn’t recommend more highly. We meet prior to my dog (Freddie) having her sleep over at there’s. Such a lovely guy. Very obvious he cares on the dogs well being. I would most certainly use them again. Great communicators, great timing and keeping me informed. What was so obvious was how happy Freddie had been on her holidays. So funny I walked past there house only today and Freddie wanted dropping off! Truly lovely”
“I would happily use Gemma again to look after my dog, Honey. Gemma is very friendly and kept me updated regularly with messages, videos and photos whilst looking after Honey. Gemma was also very thoughtful and brought treats with her for Honey to have. Honey was very at ease and relaxed after Gemma had been caring for her.”
“Leanne and Abbie were amazing, I am so happy we have found them. They looked after Murphy like he was their own, sent us photo's and videos everyday and were just lovely people. He got so much love and attention I don't think he wanted to come home! We will definitely be using them again.”
“Fabulous sitter for our medium sized rescue dog Scrumpy. He's got a few quirks but Isobel didn't seem fazed by them! She was also super flexible for us with the drop off and collection. Would definitely recommend 😊”
“I can’t recommend Talabi more highly, Monty had such a lovely time during his stay with Talabi, he was happy as a happy thing. We received pics and videos every day, Talabi was patient and spent time training Monty, she is absolutely fabulous and clearly a dog lover. I will not hesitate to use Talabi again in future, in fact, Monty is looking forward to his next visit. Thanks so much for taking such wonderful care of him.”
“Sara and Frans stepped in at the last minute and were so friendly and lovely to my dog, I knew very quickly he’d be safe with them. I got lots of updates during his stay with them, and he came back to me very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other pet owners. Thank you so much again Sara and Frans and hope to re book you soon!”
“Daphne was very welcoming and caring four our two dogs. Giving updates and pictures on walks etc, which was appreciated. The dogs looked very well on collection and I think would love to go back again when the opportunity arises.”
“From initial meeting to picking Poppy up from her stay, Valentina was warm, professional and communicative. Poppy had such a fantastic time with Valentina and family! Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thanks Valentina!”
“Lois was amazing, really communicative and friendly! She was so pleased to see Tinto and he was so happy and well looked after when we picked him up! Amazing dog sitter and Tinto is excited for his next stay with her.”
“Had to rebook, she is amazing and I will always book her when I need a dog sitter. So considerate and sends regular updates and pictures and Meelo LOVES her, she was amazing with him. 10/10 no complaints 🥰”
“It was a last minute booking with Suzana but as soon as I met her, I knew Connie would be well cared for in a lovely home. Thank you for the regular photo updates and we will definitely be in touch when we visit Brighton again.”
“Caroline took great care of my dog, who can be a bit anxious when left at first. But he seemed very happy to be with her and was very well cared for. I felt totally happy leaving him as I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you”
“Alex was an amazing dog sitter for Daisy! He took great care of her and sent us regular updates and amazing photos of her! I can't recommend him enough and we'll definitely ask for his services again”
“Petra and Olly are absolutely amazing. I always get nervous about leaving Lyla with new people, but they put me at ease straight away. They’re incredibly caring and kept me fully informed with great updates throughout. Lyla was so happy after her stay, which says everything. They took her out for lots of walks and were genuinely thoughtful and considerate the whole time. I couldn’t recommend them enough and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much, guys.”
“We got in touch with Jo when our dog care fell through last minute. She was super responsive and happy to look after our two dogs, Bobbie, and our old girl Mabel. Our dogs had a lovely stay and seemed to love being with Jo’s own three doggies. Jo was really quick to respond, sent lots of proactive updates to us with pics and is generally lovely. She even accommodated an extra night after our travel plans changed. Huge thank you to Jo ❤️”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and had a cat of my own as an adult, giving me years of hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’ve also regularly cat-sat for friends and family, caring for their cats in their own homes and following their individual routines. I previously volunteered at my local SPCA, where I spent time with sick, vulnerable and needy cats who needed extra love and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for high-maintenance and sensitive cats and take pride in providing calm, attentive and reliable care.
About: I've had cats since I was born, always at least 2 cats in the house at any point growing up. I honestly think a house doesn't feel like a home without a cat! I have a very thorough understanding of cat behaviour. I have helped raise 2 rounds of 2 kittens, with litter training, general house training and cat flap training! I've also managed bringing a new kitten into the house with an older cat. This was tricky as the older cat was a bit scared of the kitten but I always made sure the older cat felt safe, and prioritised. I always want what's best for each individual cat, and will happily spend time adjusting to their individual needs.
“Melina is great! Our cat is very shy but she managed to captivate him and he was very relaxed when we arrived! 🤩 totally recommend! She send us photos and videos and we were very lucky to find her! ”
“Joey did a fantastic job of visiting and tending to our cat Poppy! 😺 Reliable, friendly and clearly a cat lover! Really appreciate it and would recommend Joey 100%”
“After a successful couple of meet & greets, Beth’s first one hour visit seemed to go well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take time to warm up to new people. Although she wasn’t brave enough to approach Beth that day, she was comfortable and relaxed enough to have a snooze while she was there. Which shows that she isn’t overly worried about Beth, who didn’t try to push things too fast and went at Sookie’s pace, allowing her to feel that relaxed she could close her eyes. Very happy with Beth and her knowledge of handling nervous dogs.”
About: I grew up with 12 dogs at home and countless weekends spent at dog agility shows. This grew into a lifelong love of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've spent the past 10 years dog sitting and walking, through word-of-mouth recommendation, until someone suggested I join Rover! I am an easy going and naturally active person, so I love to take dogs on long walks, or take them socializing in cafes (if they like to!), and do basic trick training. I've experience with dogs of all sizes, from collies to GSD's and retired greyhounds to Chihuahuas. I'm a freelancer and part-time yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to spend with four legged friends, so you can be sure they get most of my attention! I plan my work around my pups, not the other way around. At mine: I have a dog friendly apartment on ground floor, no garden but quick access to St Annes garden OR Palmeria Square. I have room to set up a crate if that is your preference. I have enrichment toys and a dog bed here too. At yours: I will follow your preferred instructions! Walking: I always stay present with the dog, I don't walk with headphones in and I am mindful of distractions or the dog's personality. I am happy to follow your preference on walk type, length, and location (within radius!) Cafe socializing: if you would like your dog to spend time in cafes and socialise, I love this too! not all dogs enjoy this, some love it, so this is down to preference. Again, the dogs comfort and tolerance is my number one priority!
“Mara and her partner Alec were great sitters! We received photos and updates everyday we were away which put us at ease as our cat Quince looked happy and relaxed in their care. We felt they genuinely cared for Quince and gave her play time and met her needs. We would definitely recommend them to other pet owners and would be happy to book them again. We’re sure Quince would agree :)”
“Laura has been fantastic. It was our first time leaving Cindy for more than a night and she has made sure that we get updates on how she’s doing and she looks thoroughly pleased to be in Laura’s company. We highly recommend her services.”
“Johanna’s first two one hour visits with Sookie went really well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take a bit of time to warm up to new people. But with Johanna, she seemed to get very comfortable very quickly. Approaching her, choosing to lie near her, and having a snooze. And then on the second visit she put her head on her legs! Johanna has taken things at Sookie’s pace and my dog has quickly felt safe and happy with her.”
“We wouldn't hesitate to use Luna again and couldn't recommend her enough. She was wonderful with our cat, Violet. She sent updates and photos after each visit, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Highly recommend Laura! She has looked after our two cats twice now, and we've been very happy with her care. She is professional, reliable, and keeps us updated with daily photos, which gives us real peace of mind while we're away. We would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Thank you so much for the cats feeding and looking after it meant so much to me and the cleaning out of the world. If I could do, it’s 11 out of 10 super.🙌🙌👍👍”
About: I have 14 years of experience caring for cats, starting from when I lived with my partner and we had three cats together. I was closely involved in their daily care, including feeding, litter tray cleaning, playtime and maintaining their routines. After separating, one of the cats came to live with me, and I continued to care for her long-term. I later took on another cat for a friend who was no longer able to care for her, and looked after her for 6 years until she passed away. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ cats, providing feeding, companionship and routine care while they’ve been away. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe, calm and undisturbed in their own environment, and I always aim to provide gentle, reliable care tailored to each cat’s personality.
“Incredible care and attention to detail! Sophie truly went above and beyond while taking care of our two cats, Rio and Lima. Exceptionally detailed information and communication throughout, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for any more. Can't recommend her enough for anyone in need of their furry friends being taken care of!!!”
“Lucy looked after our cat over the Christmas period. He warmed to her immediately, she followed all instructions and left our place nice and tidy. Would definitely book again. Thank you Lucy! ”
“Thank you so much Annabel for sending such informative and reassuring updates when we were away, we knew our cat Prince was in safe hands and could see in the photos he was loving his time with Annabel and all the attention he got . Very reliable and amazing with animals , we would definitely use Annabel again”
About: Hi I’m Abbie! I absolutely love cats and had 2 growing up and have looked after multiple cats for around 2 years. Some long term and some short but all given the same amount of love! I understand each cat has their own personality and quirks. I have never had a bad experience with one and even the more timid ones seem to feel safe around me and cuddle me for a bit!
“Fia was great, communicated really quickly and made Winnie feel really relaxed when she dropped in and sent lots of photos of Winnie looking very happy. Would definiety use her again and recommed her to anyone”

“Gari had the best day!!! Tilda gave me regular updates, sent photos and took Gari on long walks frequently. She also took her to a cafe to socialise her whichs she loved. Gari returned tired and happy. Tilda is clearly a natural with dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sarah was amazing! Quick on communication and helpful with our last-minute request. A positive person and interaction, she kept us updated about our puppy throughout the day! Also reasonable pricing ❤️ Thank you!”

Our home has a private, fully fenced garden—perfect for safe outdoor play—and we’re ideally located for walks in the park or along the seafront. We both have plenty of experience with dogs.

“Maple has a very special bond with Leanne and Abbie- a reflection of how well she is cared for by them. For a nervous puppy it is great to see her response to them - she is always over the moon with happiness to see them. They are absolute gems and would I am sure would extend the same high level of care to any other dog who is fortunate enough to stay with them !”
“Bambi had the loveliest time with Isobel! 🥹 Bambi’s a shy pup, but was immediately comfortable with both Isobel & her partner 🤍 We got loads of updates through the day which we always love & we could see Bambi felt right at home!🏡 I know she’s in safe hands & that they’ll always look after her as if she’s their own 🫶🏼 Can only recommend!”

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals since childhood, growing up with both a Labrador and a rescue cat. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience looking after a wide range of dogs and cats, not only in my own home but also for pet owners in London and Brighton. This experience has taught me how to handle pets with different personalities and needs, ensuring they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playful walks, feeding routines, or giving lots of cuddles, I always treat every animal as if they were my own. As a PhD student with the freedom to set my own hours and work from home, I can tailor my schedule to fit your pet’s needs—whether that means midday cuddles, evening walks, or even staying overnight in your home. My flexible lifestyle means your pets get dedicated, reliable company whenever you need it. When caring for pets I try to create a safe and stressfree environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure to stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet moments—so they experience as little disruption as possible. and I keep owners updated with photos and messages.
About: Hi, I'm Alex - a 32-year-old freelance producer who primarily works from home. For as long as I remember I've loved dogs. It's a running joke in my family that no one loves them more than me. Having grown up with Irish Setters and horses, I've been around dogs my entire life and consider them to be the purest form of joy I've yet experienced! Aside from this, I frequently look after friends and neighbours dogs and love taking them to local beaches and parks for walks, as well as my local co-working space, if suitable. I am also experienced in house sitting dogs and cats and love taking dogs on long walks in the countryside to keep them stimulated and tired at the end of the day. Having recently moved to Hove and bought a three bedroom house with a garden (fenced and very safe), I am keen to share my space and provide a safe and happy place for dog owners to send their dogs to when they need them looking after. I'm open to short or long stays and even day sittings in my house as well. Please do get in touch with any questions. Happy to provide photos of my home and garden, and of course for any dog to come round and meet me before staying so they get used to the smells and environment. I'm currently in a low period of freelance work and have much more spare time in the day for the next few months. I work remotely most of the time and occasionally work in a dog friendly co-work space called Platf9rm. I am able to work from home in my own house with a dog, but also take it for walks much more during the day. I like to be active and outdoors as much as I can and any dog I care for is also able to have free rein of my garden, which is walled and secure. I have a walled garden which is super safe and secure and it's a big enough space for any dog to run around, chill, or have a snooze in the sun. I have a desk in the living room space which opens up into the kitchen, so when working from home would always be around the dog. I love nothing more than watching TV and curling up with a dog. I'd be happy for the dog to join me on the sofa with a blanket.
“Roxy is a perfect dog sitter, my dog dobbie had a lovely stay with her, I can see how happy Dobbie was in the video Roxy sent me! She treated Dobbie with patient and love, dobbie would definitely want to see Roxy again if there’s next time to travel Brighton! And I would definitely recommend if you are finding a responsible dog sitter.”
“A great first experience with Verity. Arranging our first Meet & Greet and subsequent Doggy Day Care was a breeze. Scout seemed very comfortable with Verity and was certainly in no rush to leave at the end of the day! We’ll definitely be re-booking soon.”
About: I am currently working remotely and have a friendly gentle giant Bernese mountain dog myself and am.haooy to look after your dog along with Cynthia, we go it regularly to the park and have very fun walks and frequent toilet breaks and play. I currently work remotely and can board and look after dogs along with mh own from home in the Brighton and Hove area. I'm also free on weekends. I have a friendly Bernese mountain dog called Cynthia who loves other dogs and cats, we live right across the park and close to hove lawns and go for frequent fun walks and play.
“Daphne was absolutely wonderful with pinto. She has a very calming energy and pinto clearly adores her. He seemed very content in all the lovely photos she sent me and also when I arrived to pick him up. Daphne was able to make the time to meet pinto and I before the booking which set my mind at ease and I could see that her lovely home is perfect for the hot weather. I really appreciated the updates and he even got doggy ice cream! I couldn’t ask for anything more for my funny boy and will definitely be booking Daphne again 🥰”
About: I’ve been around dogs so much of my life; from having my own, living with them and more recently regularly looked after friends’ dogs while they’re away, from long weekends to full weeks. Kita, who is a husky mix, has been a regular fixture in my life and so I’m comfortable with bigger dogs. It’s something I genuinely look forward to and cherish my time together with them it’s not just a job on the side for me. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow your routines, training methods, and any specific instructions to help them settle in comfortably. I’ll like to pay attention to how your dog reacts and adjust accordingly as dogs have their own personality and needs. I’ll send regular photo and video updates throughout, so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled with attention. Services I offer: Dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting are my main focus. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to fit walks and visits into your schedule. I can follow your walking routes and set times easily and make sure they are looked after. I’m happy to provide short weekend boarding for dogs who are comfortable in an apartment setting. I don’t have a private garden, but I live close to a park, so dogs staying with me still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention but I would rather this only be for short stays for the dogs own comfort. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. My goal is simple: for your dog to be happy, well cared for, and genuinely excited to see me next time. Hopefully we will become friends! Feel free to message me with any questions. I always like to arrange a quick meet-and-greet before booking, so we can go over any important details and get to know each other first; it helps everyone feel more at ease, especially your dog. I work from home most weekdays, which means I can give dogs plenty of company and regular attention throughout the day. I occasionally need to visit sites for work, but these are infrequent and I’ll only accept bookings that fit around my schedule. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, as I work remotely it means I can adjust my schedule to fit the needs of you and your dog. I always keep my availability up to date so you know exactly when I’m free. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), training and any house rules. I’m happy to walk your dog on their usual routes and at their regular times to help them feel comfortable, confident and relaxed while you’re away. My goal would be to build friendship and trust between us. Every dog receives my full attention. I don’t walk dogs in large groups, so your dog will enjoy one-to-one care tailored to their individual needs and personality. If I’m boarding, I’ll only take one household’s dog(s) at a time, ensuring they have a calm environment and plenty of attention. I live in a comfortable apartment that’s well suited to short weekend boarding. While I don’t have a private outdoor space, I’m close to parks and walking routes, so dogs in my care will still get plenty of exercise, enrichment and toilet breaks. For that reason, I prefer to keep boarding to shorter stays where I know I can provide the best possible experience.

I love walking and discovering new places so why not give me a try, I promise to give your pets all the love and the attention they deserve. I am flexible with hours as work part time, free some weekends and for sleepovers. I am happy to travel short distances to your home.

If am driving your dogs around I make sure they are secure in my camper van and use a harness to make sure they are safe.
About: Hi there! My boyfriend, Olly, and I are looking for our next furry friend to spoil and go on adventures with. We are passionate dog and cat lovers and would love more opportunities to make new dog and cat friends. Some things to know about us: 1.

Beyond “sit” and “fetch,” we can even try to teach your dog how to headbutt a balloon or count by barking! 2. We love discovering the unique personalities of our dog friends and their often not-so-secret addictions to balls, special toys, leads, or anything else. :) 3. We are comfortable with all breeds, big or small. 4. We love good food and always make sure our furry friends get their treats and meals on time too. 5.

Short or long walks as needed for exercise 3. Feeding, fresh water and photo updates throughout the day 4. Fun trick training We both work from home in Hove and have flexible schedules during the week and on weekends. Thursdays and Fridays are ideal, but we can adjust our schedule with adequate notice for other days. Our spacious flat is a calm and safe environment with enough room for some low-key zoomies for dogs and some cozy corners for cats. For walks with dogs, we would go to St Ann’s Park, Palmeira Square, Hove Park, or the beach. Before leaving your dog/cat with us, we kindly ask you to: 1. Send us your main phone number and an emergency contact in case we can’t reach you. 2. Provide your vet’s address in case of any emergencies. 3. Share any important information, including rules, diet, allergies/sensitivities, nap time/daily schedule, habits, and any special behaviour for the pets. 4.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love having them around. As I work from home (mostly) I have the time to take, morning and lunch time walks and can make sure your dog is getting the attention they need throughout the day. I regularly dog sit for friends during the summer holidays so have plenty experience looking after dogs full time. I have plenty of green areas just a stones throw from my house. I work full time and primarily from home. I occasionally have to travel into London for work (these dates will be updated in my availability). On the days that I am able to dog sit, I can do boarding overnight and am happy to take dogs over the weekend when I am free. I do not have any pets of my own so can welcome any dog into my home. My flat is enclosed, safe, and spacious and I live on a quiet road.
“Luke has been an amazing sitter. He was flexible and reliable with speedy communication and lots of pictures to update. Oli thoroughly enjoyed his day with Luke, you can tell how much he loves animals and I've booked him again. Highly recommend and trustworthy. Thank you 😊”

“Caroline shows a deep love for dogs, warm consideration and respectfulness and impeccable organisation and communication. We wholeheartedly recommend her as a deeply reliable person; who will made us feel at complete ease while we were away from our dog. Thank you Caroline!”
About: Hi :) I have lived with a dog for a couple years, I have loved caring for her and our lovely walks around parks. I’m comfortable caring for a older dog, I have a fenced garden and can provide regular bathrooms breaks and plenty of walks :) I have a very flexible timetable, I am able to go on plenty walks and can provide lots of bathroom breaks for your pup :) I live in a safe first floor flat, I live local to a few parks. I am more than happy to assist if needed :)
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including pets who need a calm and quiet environment. I have administered medication to cats and dogs and have experience caring for older pets with individual needs and routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, gentle companionship, medication, feeding or extra love, I’ll provide reliable and thoughtful care while following your instructions closely. I’m currently on sabbatical, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to dog and cat sitting. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible around each pet’s routine and individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make pet care a regular part of my day. I provide pet care exclusively in the owner’s home, so pets can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines closely, including feeding, walks, medication and any specific care instructions. I’m respectful of each home and take safety seriously, making sure doors, gates and pets are secure. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I used to work with a local dog walker/boarder and mixed with plenty of doggos during this time! I’ve also had dogs in my family since I was a child! A Dalmatian, Chihuahuas, Jack Russel x Chihuahua’s, and more recently a lovely Frenchie. However, I currently am unable to have a pet of my own due to the demands of my degree. I love animals, and you can be sure that your pet will be the centre of my attention whilst I am with them! I am a full-time mature BSc student in Brighton, which takes up about 3 days a week and I usually work 1 day at my job during term times. Due to these commitments, I am sadly unable to have a pet of my own. My flexibility will vary depending on my schedule, which from September, I should be aware of at least 5 weeks in advance. I will easily fit in time with your furry friends during these commitments, and maybe they can help me to study! I live in a ground floor flat with access to our own secure outdoor space, however, this is stones and decking but plenty of space for sniffing and roaming around, or lounging in the sun with me when we’re not out on a walk! A well-behaved dog will have access to all spaces, including my bedroom. We live a very short walk from plenty of local dog-friendly parks in Hove, and a little further is the beach! Please note that I am not comfortable with off-lead walks, happy to use long training leads, etc, unless in a very secure area. I want to keep your pet safe and secure the entire time!
“Annabel is fantastic with our Cocker Spaniel, he’s quite an anxious and excitable dog and she’s been really calm and taken her time in the house with him and building his trust. She’s very responsive and always sends photos and a summary of the visit. We’ve used Annabel multiple times and will continue to, she’s fantastic with dogs and very reliable”
“Sophie has been amazing. Very responsive, giving us many updates and taking care of Otto extremely well. We are very happy to have had her taking care of Otto. Definitely will work together again.”
About: I treat each pet as if they were my own, offering tailored attention and routines that match their unique needs and personality. My commitment is to ensure your pet feels loved and at home, even when you're away. I see pet caring as one of my hobbies and extra routines. I would be able to pet sit frequently during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce any stress or anxiety. I follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. I also provide companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep pets happy while you're away.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since childhood and have spent many years helping care for dogs belonging to friends and family. Over the last 10+ years I’ve regularly helped with walking, feeding, company and general care, and I genuinely love being around animals. I work from home part of the week, which means I can offer dogs plenty of attention, companionship and regular walks throughout the day. I understand how important trust and reliability are when leaving your pet with someone, and I always aim to provide a calm, caring and safe environment where dogs feel comfortable and well looked after. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine closely and can provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, spending 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home each week. My work-from-home days are flexible rather than fixed, which allows me to be accommodating where possible. I work Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm, and can also offer some evening and weekend availability with advance notice. While I don’t have a garden, I live in a spacious and comfortable flat in Hove, just a 5-minute walk from Hove Lawns and the beach. This means your pet will still enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise and lovely walks in a relaxed seaside setting. I always aim to provide a calm, caring and comfortable environment where pets feel safe and well looked after. I live in a spacious and comfortable flat in Hove, just a 5 minute walk from Hove Lawns and the beach, which is perfect for regular walks and fresh air. While I don’t have a garden, I make sure dogs still get plenty of exercise, attention and outdoor time in a safe and relaxed environment. I always aim to create a calm, clean and caring space where pets feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine closely and provide regular updates and photos for reassurance while you’re away. As I work from home part of the week, pets in my care will receive plenty of company and supervision throughout the day.
About: I’ve been around dogs so much of my life; from having my own, living with them and more recently regularly looked after friends’ dogs while they’re away, from long weekends to full weeks. Kita, who is a husky mix, has been a regular fixture in my life and so I’m comfortable with bigger dogs. It’s something I genuinely look forward to and cherish my time together with them it’s not just a job on the side for me. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow your routines, training methods, and any specific instructions to help them settle in comfortably. I’ll like to pay attention to how your dog reacts and adjust accordingly as dogs have their own personality and needs. I’ll send regular photo and video updates throughout, so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled with attention. Services I offer: Dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting are my main focus. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to fit walks and visits into your schedule. I can follow your walking routes and set times easily and make sure they are looked after. I’m happy to provide short weekend boarding for dogs who are comfortable in an apartment setting. I don’t have a private garden, but I live close to a park, so dogs staying with me still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention but I would rather this only be for short stays for the dogs own comfort. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. My goal is simple: for your dog to be happy, well cared for, and genuinely excited to see me next time. Hopefully we will become friends! Feel free to message me with any questions. I always like to arrange a quick meet-and-greet before booking, so we can go over any important details and get to know each other first; it helps everyone feel more at ease, especially your dog. I work from home most weekdays, which means I can give dogs plenty of company and regular attention throughout the day. I occasionally need to visit sites for work, but these are infrequent and I’ll only accept bookings that fit around my schedule. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, as I work remotely it means I can adjust my schedule to fit the needs of you and your dog. I always keep my availability up to date so you know exactly when I’m free. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), training and any house rules. I’m happy to walk your dog on their usual routes and at their regular times to help them feel comfortable, confident and relaxed while you’re away. My goal would be to build friendship and trust between us. Every dog receives my full attention. I don’t walk dogs in large groups, so your dog will enjoy one-to-one care tailored to their individual needs and personality. If I’m boarding, I’ll only take one household’s dog(s) at a time, ensuring they have a calm environment and plenty of attention. I live in a comfortable apartment that’s well suited to short weekend boarding. While I don’t have a private outdoor space, I’m close to parks and walking routes, so dogs in my care will still get plenty of exercise, enrichment and toilet breaks. For that reason, I prefer to keep boarding to shorter stays where I know I can provide the best possible experience.

I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I always follow your routine closely, provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and safe. I live alone in a spacious two bedroom flat on the corner of Hove seafront so I’m lucky to live close to fantastic walking routes, including Hove Lawns, beach walks, and nearby parks, so your dog will get stimulating, varied walks every day.

“Luna has been an absolute star this week while we’ve been on holiday. Her walks with woody have been thought out and she’s taken him some amazing new places. Not the usual round the block or local park for Luna. Her thoughtfulness and going above and beyond have been a real breath of fresh air. Thanks again for everything Luna we won’t hesitate to book you again x”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since I was a kid, (my family dogs are now 14!) and have always loved animals. I've walked dogs over my last few years in Brighton previously and am just happy to help out where I can. I've recently moved back to Brighton, and work part-time at the moment. I'm almost always about, enjoy going for long walks along the seafront and into town and I go for runs most mornings. I'm happy having a chilled day in but also love to go for a wander when I'm free! I don't have any other pets at my home, and am more than happy to come to your property to look after your dogs/cats.
“Ting was my very first sitter with Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Vinnie and introduce me to how fab Rover is. Ting understands the needs of dogs of all sizes and breeds. She knew immediately how to look after a teenager big dog like Vinnie. He was very relaxed and well behaved with Ling, she had great control, care and came fully prepared to give him a fun walking experience! Thanks you so much Ting, we really appreciate your time and the walkies :) Lisa & Vin x”
“Laura took Eddy, our border terrier, for a walk to get to know him before he comes to stay with her in January. He’s a very lively and excitable dog but we could see straightaway that he was in safe, experienced hands and they had a very successful walk together. She’s also a lovely person and a very talented artist!”
About: I grew up with 12 dogs at home and countless weekends spent at dog agility shows. This grew into a lifelong love of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've spent the past 10 years dog sitting and walking, through word-of-mouth recommendation, until someone suggested I join Rover! I am an easy going and naturally active person, so I love to take dogs on long walks, or take them socializing in cafes (if they like to!), and do basic trick training. I've experience with dogs of all sizes, from collies to GSD's and retired greyhounds to Chihuahuas. I'm a freelancer and part-time yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to spend with four legged friends, so you can be sure they get most of my attention! I plan my work around my pups, not the other way around. At mine: I have a dog friendly apartment on ground floor, no garden but quick access to St Annes garden OR Palmeria Square. I have room to set up a crate if that is your preference. I have enrichment toys and a dog bed here too. At yours: I will follow your preferred instructions! Walking: I always stay present with the dog, I don't walk with headphones in and I am mindful of distractions or the dog's personality. I am happy to follow your preference on walk type, length, and location (within radius!) Cafe socializing: if you would like your dog to spend time in cafes and socialise, I love this too! not all dogs enjoy this, some love it, so this is down to preference. Again, the dogs comfort and tolerance is my number one priority!
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and other animals since I was very young, I’ve always been very good at connecting with them, which is why I went to Plumpton college to get my animal care diploma & my dog grooming qualification. Your animals will be very safe when they are with me, whether it be over night or just during the day. My passion is making sure all animals in my care are 100% happy and healthy. I have availability throughout the week, weekends & holidays. Please message if you have questions or would like to request care and I’ll get back to you asap. Animal welfare is extremely important to me so I do everything I can to make sure the animals in my care are happy, even if it means altering my own routine for them.
About: I am 23 years old and living in Hove. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have grown up caring for three dogs, two cats, chickens, ducks, and a tortoise. Alongside this personal experience, I have also gained over 2 years of professional pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, and house sitting. I am confident caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and nervous or reactive dogs who may need extra patience and understanding. I can drive, and am happy to tailor walks and care routines to suit your pet's individual needs. Above all, I aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind when they're away. Having recently graduated, I currently have a very flexible schedule and am fully available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, during work hours, and late evenings. I have experience caring for nervous and reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting your pet's boundaries. During walks and drop-in visits I will stick to your pet's usual routine and any specific instructions provided, including feeding requirements, medication, training preferences, or behavioural needs.

“I would happily use Gemma again to look after my dog, Honey. Gemma is very friendly and kept me updated regularly with messages, videos and photos whilst looking after Honey.

I will not hesitate to use Talabi again in future, in fact, Monty is looking forward to his next visit. Thanks so much for taking such wonderful care of him.”

“We left our dog with Arnav for five days and she had a wonderful time all through. All the walks and meals were taken care of well and we recieved regular updates and pictures every day. It was a very homely vibe. Very satisfied with the service and highly reccommend.”
About: I have had family dogs from a young age. Whilst my partner was working at Battersea Dogs home we fostered a variety of dogs from overnight to month long stays, all of varying temperament and behaviour. I have also done a number of house / dog sitting stays through trusted housesitters. I work from home full time, managing my own schedule so have plenty of time for dog sitting, collecting, massive walks and most importantly dog scratches on the sofa I have ample space so can crate your dog if needed, with plenty of green space and the beach just a short walk away - plenty of space to keep a dog entertained!
“Roland was recommended to me as someone with experience with mini schnauzers, and he was available for a last-minute stay. We had a meet-and-greet beforehand where Mungo and I met his gorgeous greyhound Laurie. Roland is friendly, calm and clearly adores dogs. He communicated regularly throughout Mungo’s stay and sent me plenty of pics. I was super happy with him and will definitely use him again. Thanks!”
About: I used to work with a local dog walker/boarder and mixed with plenty of doggos during this time! I’ve also had dogs in my family since I was a child! A Dalmatian, Chihuahuas, Jack Russel x Chihuahua’s, and more recently a lovely Frenchie. However, I currently am unable to have a pet of my own due to the demands of my degree. I love animals, and you can be sure that your pet will be the centre of my attention whilst I am with them! I am a full-time mature BSc student in Brighton, which takes up about 3 days a week and I usually work 1 day at my job during term times. Due to these commitments, I am sadly unable to have a pet of my own. My flexibility will vary depending on my schedule, which from September, I should be aware of at least 5 weeks in advance. I will easily fit in time with your furry friends during these commitments, and maybe they can help me to study! I live in a ground floor flat with access to our own secure outdoor space, however, this is stones and decking but plenty of space for sniffing and roaming around, or lounging in the sun with me when we’re not out on a walk! A well-behaved dog will have access to all spaces, including my bedroom. We live a very short walk from plenty of local dog-friendly parks in Hove, and a little further is the beach! Please note that I am not comfortable with off-lead walks, happy to use long training leads, etc, unless in a very secure area. I want to keep your pet safe and secure the entire time!
