“Mila took amazing care of our Beagle, Zero, while we were away. She kept me updated with photos on a daily basis and treated Zero just like family. Zero came back happy and relaxed (currently snoring away in her bed). We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Mila again - she was incredible and very trustworthy. Thanks so much for everything again!”
“Hannah and Ryan are fantastic! They got in touch in advance to iron out all the details and were really flexible and on time with pick up. They updated us daily and it was obvious how happy and relaxed Cooper was with them. Lots of beach walks and cuddles! Thank you guys. Will 100% be booking again 😎”
“Sarah has been excellent and our whippet, Rocco, has had a fantastic stay with her for the week. I actually think he’s a bit sad he’s had to come Home! Her communication was just right - daily updates, but not too much, and we felt completely assured that Rocco was being brilliantly looked after. We would 110% love to book with Sarah again.”
“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.”

I can tailor you and your pets needs accordingly and am happy to chat about requirements etc! Im currently working 2 days a week online at home so I am home 7 days a week for the whole day. So I’m super available, my house is spacious with a lovley garden, and also surrounded by dog friendly parks and beautiful walks!

I’m also comfortable with medical assistance for pets as I’m really experienced with dogs and cats in medical emergencies etc.

“Sarah made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her, she kept me updated and kept him hydrated through the heat, took him to the beach, loads of walks and cuddles, she also sent so many pictures and I would 100% recommend her and she will definitely be my regular dog sitter now so definitely book her but leave some space for me hehe. ❤️❤️❤️”
“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.

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.”

She was sending me photos and videos and I didn't have to worry about my dog ❤️ she's great and I definitely recommend her to anyone. We will also ask her to take care of her again”
“Jenna looked after Birdy over a long weekend while I did a 4 day course. Birdy has stayed with her before and it was like taking her to her favourite Aunty. She was overjoyed to see Jenna and only half wanted to leave. Such a calm fun and responsible dog sitter. It’s sometimes a difficult choice to leave a 6 month old puppy but I trust Jenna with her welfare and I know she takes her visiting so lots of playtime and enrichment too. The perfect balance !”
“Honestly my dog bruce couldn't of been in better hands with Alex! It looked like he had the best time. Alex always kept me up to date with what bruce was up to and how he was doing with videos, this really gave me piece of mind knowing he's alright with a very caring crazy dog lover! Highly recommend Alex :)”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care our dog received from Beckie. It was clear from the start that she was looked after with genuine love and attention. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away! 🐾”

“Genna is an absolute find, and my 5-star rating may mean she is too busy for us in the future, but if I could give her 6 stars, I would! Our short break was better knowing our fur babies were being looked after so well. We received regular updates and photos, and the house was spotless upon our return. The cats miss her! ”
“Annabel was a fantastic friend to my cat while I was away for a week. Her kindness, understanding and caring nature meant that Blossom was very happy and looked forward to her daily visits.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire, nearly 30 years of life, and have experience with various breeds, ages and temperaments. I hope to one day have my own but until then I would love to hang out with & look after yours! Whether that be keeping them company while you're away, taking them on their daily walks or dropping in to make sure they're fed and watered. I recently left my full time job so I am available pretty much all day every day! I am actively job-seeking so I can’t currently commit to repeat / weekly / long term care! Apologies! I understand things can be relatively last minute! So whatever time / day works best for you generally works for me too! I live with my boyfriend who loves to get equally fully involved with any dog in our care! My Home: No garden but a peaceful and spacious flat with a balcony that is a 3 minute walk from St. Ann’s Well gardens, 4 minutes from Hove Lawns and the seafront and 15 minutes from Dyke Road Park/Hove Green. Currently no car but 30 seconds from Western Road bus stops or 12 minute walk from the station if travel is ever required for a bigger walk in Preston or Stanmer Park!
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!

“Leanne and Abbie are amazing with my older gal, Marley. She loves going over to spend the day with them and they’re great at keeping me updated with how her doggy day care is going, and really flexible around my working hours. I can tell she’s really happy and well cared for when she’s with them, they’ve even got her socialising with other small dogs which is great. Highly recommend!”
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. We both grew up with dogs (and in my case, cats as well) and have had loads of fun training them from a young age. 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. We are both toilet-trained and will make sure our furry friends do their business outside. 😄 What we offer: 1. Cuddles and playtime to brighten up your dog’s day 2. 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. Bring their favourite toys, treats, blanket to help create a familiar and comforting environment, as well as food if they need feeding. 5. If you have a dog, please share dome information on how your dog interacts with other dogs. 6. If you have cats, please bring your litter box as we do not have a garden.

About: We are Sara & Frans, a couple in our mid-40s living next to St Ann’s Wells Gardens and the seafront in Hove. We love having dogs around and enjoy providing a calm, safe, and happy environment for them. We offer doggy day care and overnight boarding, with lots of love, attention, and walks. I work from home and Frans gets home by 4 pm, so your dog will never be short of company. 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. Frans grew up around pedigree Labradors, as his parents were breeders, and we recently said goodbye to our own much-loved dog, so we truly understand how important consistent, caring attention is. We’re also trained in Dog First Aid for added peace of mind, and we speak English, Spanish, and French. We’re happy to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I work from home with flexibility to change the schedule, and Frans finish work at 4pm. We both free during weekends for boarding or long stays We have a fenced private garden and plenty of space to play around and chill in the apartment, providing walks morning, lunch and after work
“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!”
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.
About: I grew up in the countryside with a huge menagerie, including ponies, horses, donkeys, peafowl, ducks, hens and loads of dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. I have been dog and cat sitting the last ten years since my own Cocker Spaniel died - I have a borrow my doggy dog a day a week, for the last two and a half years who is dear to my heart, and have enjoyed over 14 sits with dogs and cats through Trusted House Sitters this last year. I have 5 star reviews every time. Being with animals genuinely makes me so happy! Every dog I look after I fall in love with. Cats too... 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. I have a garden for dogs to use and am close to the seafront for lots of walks, countryside too. I always follow owners rules about walking their dogs, am mindful of how other dogs might interact with the dogs I am looking after, and careful with roads and fast moving water. I check pets for ticks and always carry a tick remover. I interact with your pets to keep them stimulated if need be, and give tons of love! I am experienced with administering medication to animals and always make sure it has been taken! 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.
“Thank you Hannah and Ryan for looking after Stevie and making the time for us to come and meet before going straight into day care. We received regular updates and she was well cared for throughout her stay. Stevie was super excited to arrive at your place when we came back and came home relaxed and happy, which is always reassuring. We appreciate the care and attention you gave her and look forward to booking again. Thanks 🙂”
About: I’m Emma, your future go-to sitter with a passion for furry friends. For four years, I've been the favourite on Trusted House Sitters, proudly sporting a 5-star rating 🌟 I’m a freelancer who works from home so I have really flexible weekdays! I love spending time with animals. From patiently training lively puppies to offering tender senior care - I’m comfortable with it all :) Looking forward to giving your pet the VIP treatment they deserve! As I mentioned above, I've recently transitioned into freelancing, which has given me a fantastic amount of flexibility in my daily and weekly routines. With this newfound freedom, I've got ample time to prioritise pet care. Whether it's early morning walks, afternoon or evening playtime, I can easily fit these into my schedule. Your pet's routine and comfort will always be at the forefront of my day! When it comes to providing a safe and trustworthy environment for pets, I always prioritise their needs and wellbeing. While I live in a flat without a garden, I'm equipped to care for pets here for short durations, like a day. With regular toilet breaks and indoor play, your pet will be well-tended and comfy. However, for stays extending beyond a day, I believe in keeping pets in their familiar surroundings. Hence, I'd prefer to care for them in the owner's house, ensuring they're most at ease in the environment they know best. Regardless of location, rest assured your fur baby's safety and happiness are my top priorities!
“My dog spent the day with Jessica, he is of nervous disposition but he settled with her really well. Jessica kept me informed throughout the day with regular updates and photos. Loki had some lovely walks and came home both happy and sleepy. I will definitely be using Jessica in the future for Loki’s care.Thank you Jessica :-)”
About: Hi there! I'm Jess and I love dogs! I am confident, compassionate and friendly. My family dog lived 15 years and was the love of my life. I want to surround myself with other dogs as much as possible and am the designated dog sitter for my friend's fluffs. I usually work in the film industry and have often looked after the talents fluffy companions. My experience includes looking after young, elderly, blind and deaf dogs. I am freelance so am based at home all day and will be on hand for your dog's needs! They will have my full attention and I will be able to take them for plenty of walks, play time or rest (whatever they prefer!). My flat is very dog friendly, safety here is a priority. I don't have a private garden but the flat is on a small patch of communal grass. There are many wonderful walking spots near by/ parks and of course - we are very close to the sea. The flat is in a nice, peaceful neighbourhood - overall creating a quiet and safe space for your pet.
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: I am used to taking care of friends pets(dogs,cats,rabbits) when they are away over the years! I love doing so. Especially because I live in rented accommodation, so can no longer have one of my own. I currently work part time. Tuesdays to Fridays 9-4:30. I have plenty of time to spend with your lovely fur babies and am so looking forward to. I like going to the beach/in nature for swims and walks! I am happy working with your personal boundaries when it comes to looking after your pet. I know everyone cares for their pets slightly differently and would love to experience that.
About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for over 15 years and understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and challenges. I have extensive hands-on experience with reactive and anxious dogs through caring for our rescue dog, Tia, who requires patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement to help her feel safe and confident. Whether your dog loves long adventures, gentle strolls, or simply needs someone who understands their boundaries, I provide calm, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I currently work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, making it easy to provide reliable care that fits around your pet's routine. For dog walks, I prioritise safety at all times, using secure leads and choosing suitable walking routes based on your dog's temperament and confidence level. I'm experienced with reactive and nervous dogs and always take a calm, positive approach to help them feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Lisa was an awesome dog walker! She was super communicative, punctual and helped us out when we needed extra walking support. Buddy loved her, and we look forward to using her again!”
“Laura is absolutely fantastic, couldn't ask for more! Amazing communication throughout the day, lots of photos and one happy dog. Laura went above and beyond for us and you can tell she really cares. We will definitely be booking Laura again :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“Feel so lucky to have Annabel looking after our dog Ziggy. Not just extremely prompt, reliable and flexible, but so, so good with him, totally totally trustworthy. Ziggy loves seeing her for his walks!”
“Sophie was so kind and lovely, Tommy came back beaming and had what looked like a very exciting walk, came back covered in mud 🫣. he had big zoomies after his much needed bath haha. Tommy clearly had the best time. I was very nervous for this as I’ve never had someone who wasn’t me or a house mate taking him on a walk but as soon as Sophie showed up I knew he was in good hands. So so thankful and definitely recommend her for other pups!!”

“Ting’s communication throughout the whole process was great, and she let me know how my older ( and slightly stubborn!) dog was on both her walks. She also walked in the direction Heidi wanted to go, which I thought was great!”
About: Hello, my name is Joey (he/him.) Taking care of animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, I've grown up around all sorts of little critters and have always had a keen interest in them. I have worked at various animal shelters since 12 years old, including a rescue sanctuary, reptile shop, kennel and cattery. For me, it doesn't feel like work because I am at my happiest around animals and enjoy their presence more than anything else! I am trained in administering medication and identifying problems in animals as I studied it at college and have a Level 2 Animal Management BTEC. I have experience with a wide range of dogs; all sizes, from puppy to senior. I also have comprehensive pet sitting and dog walking insurance. I really feel as if I understand animals and am very patient and intuitive with them. Currently, I own three cats named Winston, Eddie and Minnie, and two millipedes named Posy and Willow! I am extroverted and social and thoroughly enjoy meeting people and animals. If I had it my way, I'd be constantly surrounded by dogs! When an animal is in my care, they are my absolute top priority. Safety and attention are the most important things on my mind, along with a heap of cuddles! Your pet will absolutely be in safe hands with me. I'm currently unemployed, meaning I have a very flexible schedule and can nearly always make time for your pups. Weekdays are best for me, but I can absolutely sort out weekend care too if that's what you require! As I mentioned, safety is my main focus when caring for an animal. My attention will be on them at all times and I will ensure they aren't ever left to their own devices. I listen and learn very quickly upon instructions and will make note of any spots your little monster likes to destroy/escape through! I also understand that different dogs require different dietary plans and even medication and will not forget or wrongfully administer it.
“Bethany was so so lovely. She picked the dogs up on time and managed two big breeds and one very energetic border collie all on her own. We got some great pictures after the walk and our boys looked so happy. They came back and both went to bed!!”
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 am more than happy to assist if needed :)
“Eleanor was fantastic with our cocker spaniel, Alfie. He can be quite anxious but he warmed to her straight away. Her communication was great, sharing photos and updates, and she took Alfie on a lovely walk. Will definitely be booking with Eleanor again. Thank you!”
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.

“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.”
About: Ive been looking after dogs, cats, horses and small pets all my life, (professionally trained 10 years) I’m super confident with any pet and love animals more than anything, I know how important it is to find the right person to trust with your furry friend but I promise you that’s me! I can tailor you and your pets needs accordingly and am happy to chat about requirements etc! Im currently working 2 days a week online at home so I am home 7 days a week for the whole day. So I’m super available, my house is spacious with a lovley garden, and also surrounded by dog friendly parks and beautiful walks! Ive had dogs all my life so it’s very natural for a dog or cat to be at home. I’m comfortable with assuring your pet is fed, watered, walked and entertained for their full time with me. My house is very calm as well as it’s just me during the day, so your pet will have a stress free time. I’m also comfortable with medical assistance for pets as I’m really experienced with dogs and cats in medical emergencies etc.
“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!”
“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 left Fig in great hands with Beckie and Ed. They were super receptive to her needs and adapted her stay to ensure she was always comfortable. Fig had a great time and didn’t want to leave.”
“Joely was amazing! I left my doggo with her for four days and she took care of her really well and kept me updated the whole time. She was sending me photos and videos and I didn't have to worry about my dog ❤️ she's great and I definitely recommend her to anyone. We will also ask her to take care of her again”
“Jenna looked after Birdy over a long weekend while I did a 4 day course. Birdy has stayed with her before and it was like taking her to her favourite Aunty. She was overjoyed to see Jenna and only half wanted to leave. Such a calm fun and responsible dog sitter. It’s sometimes a difficult choice to leave a 6 month old puppy but I trust Jenna with her welfare and I know she takes her visiting so lots of playtime and enrichment too. The perfect balance !”
“Honestly my dog bruce couldn't of been in better hands with Alex! It looked like he had the best time. Alex always kept me up to date with what bruce was up to and how he was doing with videos, this really gave me piece of mind knowing he's alright with a very caring crazy dog lover! Highly recommend Alex :)”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care our dog received from Beckie. It was clear from the start that she was looked after with genuine love and attention. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away! 🐾”
“Paige was brilliant with max. I could tell from the pictures she sent he was very happy and looked at home. I don’t think he wanted to leave when I picked him up!!!! Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Reliable and caring pet sitter offering dog walking, home visits, and dog and cat boarding in my home. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large, energetic dogs. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs, whether that means active walks, playtime, companionship, maintaining familiar routines, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence while you're away. I also have extensive experience caring for rabbits and other small animals. I understand how difficult it can be to find a sitter who is genuinely knowledgeable about rabbit care and able to recognise the subtle signs that something may be wrong. Rabbits are experts at hiding illness and distress, so close observation is essential. I am confident monitoring their behaviour, appetite, activity levels, and overall wellbeing, helping to identify potential issues early and giving owners peace of mind while they are away. Having entrusted my own pets to carers in the past, I understand the level of trust owners place in someone looking after their animals and take that responsibility seriously. Because pet care is currently my main focus, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals I look after. I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual and adapting to what makes them feel comfortable, whether that's playtime, quiet companionship, maintaining familiar routines, or simply having someone nearby throughout the day. I have experience caring for animals with ongoing health conditions and special care requirements. This includes administering oral medications as well as subcutaneous injections, particularly in rabbits and other small animals. I am confident following veterinary instructions carefully, monitoring for changes in behaviour or wellbeing, and ensuring treatments are given safely and consistently. Services include: • Dog and cat boarding in my home (day care and overnight stays) • Dog walking for dogs of all sizes and energy levels • Feeding, cleaning, and daily care routines • Medication administration and subcutaneous injections • Rabbit care and small animal care • Companionship, enrichment, and playtime I provide regular updates with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also have access to a vehicle should emergency transport ever be needed. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Please note that the prices listed on my profile are for dogs. If you have small pets (such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, birds, etc.), I would be happy to discuss their specific needs and agree on a suitable price together. Pet care is currently my main focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals I look after. I am available for boarding, daycare, and home visits throughout the week and at weekends, depending on availability. I aim to keep each pet's routine as consistent as possible, ensuring they receive the care, companionship, and attention they deserve. I aim to provide a safe, calm, and low stress environment where pets can settle at their own pace. Before each booking, I discuss their routine, personality, and any medical or behavioural needs with their owner to ensure I can provide consistent care. I keep my home clean and secure, paying close attention to doors and windows, and I carefully monitor each pet's wellbeing throughout their stay. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing.
