“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”
“After a horrific experience with another sitter from Rover I was quite anxious to leave my girls again but Richard couldn't be better. He is calm and patient and my girls didn't take long to trust him. He kept me updated so I could relax during my time away. I came back to 2 very happy girls. I'm very pleased with Richard, definitely would use him again.”
“Courtney and Dan were brilliant. Our poodle was very settled there and was very relaxed in their company. Great communications and would definitely book again. Thank you both”

“Lam (Katty) was amazing with our two bulldogs. She kept us updated with lovely pics and they came back happy and settled. Will use her again without hesitation and highly recommend her! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Chris and Lene are lovely people who are great with dogs. We left our energetic rescue lurcher puppy with them for the evening and he was very happy there. It was his first time away from us and we received lots of updates and photos. I would recommend them to anyone! 🐾 thank you 🙏”
“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.”
“Our dog couldn’t have had a better time with Garry & Seb. They were thoughtful to send photos and videos, very easy to communicate with before and during the stay and clearly love dogs.”
“Emma was great and my dog, Pies, clearly enjoyed his stay with her and her husband. They have a nice big garden that Pies loved, and a big green space nearby for walks and plays with other dogs. I’d highly recommend!”

“Megan took care of my 2 labs while I was away and she and her brother were incredible! Lots of messages with pictures and videos to keep me reassured that they were safe and happy. Would highly recommend Megan and would leave the dogs with her again in the future without hesitation. Thanks so much, Megan!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have taken care of them my whole life. My own dog, Willow, is a one year old lab cross and will love to play with your dogs. I work from home every day, I usually give the dogs two walks, one 10 mins one around the block and one longer walk (30-45min) in the downs above my house. The rest of the time, the door to the garden is always open and the garden is fenced and free of hazards. I am happy to fit around any feeding schedule or around any other walking scheduled required for your dog. I have a fully fenced garden, free of hazards. My own dog, Willow is a one year old lab cross and loves to play. She has a lot of energy so if your dog is elderly they will be in different rooms.
About: I have been looking after cats and dogs for the last 25 years. I had my own cats for nearly 20 years, one of whom was neurotic, deaf and in the early stages of dementia when he finally passed (and needed daily medication). Over the past 6 years, I have looked after dogs, cats, horses, and the occasional tortoise through trusted housesitters. But since I settled in Brighton, I have mostly been looking after friends' dogs: cockapoos, staffies, Romanian rescues and loving the company as I work on my PhD. I own my own home with a garden if you need to drop them off, and I also have my own car if I need to get to yours. I am reliable, responsible and active, meaning they will get all the walks and love they need. I work from home, with no fixed meeting times. Depending on the weather and what your dog is used to, I would take them for a walk in the morning, either up on the Downs behind my house, or to the beach, just a 10 minute walk away. We would then spend the day in my study, your dog snoozing on the guest bed or the floor, and me working on my research, with breaks for playtime in the garden and snacks, if allowed. At dinner time, we would go for another walk, either to the Downs, where we might meet up with a couple of other friends with dogs, or back to the park along the seafront. Your dog could then sleep with me on my bed, or on the floor, whatever they are used to. I have a fenced garden, and during the summer months, they can go outside whenever they want. They can go anywhere in my house, but I would only let them on the sofa/bed if that's what they are allowed to do in your home. When we go for a walk, I would not immediately let them off the lead. Still, I would work up to that, starting with short periods in a safe environment and ensuring they know I have chicken or another high-value treat, which I would reward them with every time I called them and they returned.
“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”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life and now we can share those pet care skills with you . We have our own adored canine who is a fun, kind 3 year old female. She's great with other cats and dogs and welcomes other canine visitors to our home with a calm enthusiasm. We WFH every day so your pet is never left unattended. 3 walks a day and plenty of beach and park strolls. As with our own dog, no off lead walking. Your pet needs to be ok with children as we have a animal crazy 12 year pld. Looking forward to meeting you and your doggo soon. We work from home so 3 walks a day minimum. Our dog eats morning and evening but we can meet and walking or feeding schedule as required. We have a closed off balcony on the first floor. Dogs happily sit there safely watching the world go by. Dogs are on a lead before they leave the apartment.
“Garry loved staying with Michaela and Simon’s family. They were absolutely great with him, and I was feeling totally calm leaving him there. I received daily updates on Garry (photos and videos), who was regularly fed, walked and who enjoyed playing with Scout (who is absolutely adorable) and listening to the birds in the family’s garden.”
“Thank you Toni for looking after Mademoiselle La Flooph… very kind and generous with your communications and reassurances ( I can be a worry mum) and Birdy was calm happy and smiling when we collected her. I was really happy with the care and love you gave, the updates and understanding when we arrived home a little late. Until next time X”

“We were so happy with the care our two cats received while we were away. They were well looked after, happy, and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. We got regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear they were treated with genuine care and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely use again. Thank you for taking such great care of our cats!”
“We’ve had some trips in 2026 already and each time Samantha has been our go to. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Great communication and always ensures to keep us up todate. Thanks”
“Clarissa provided excellent care for our cat Milo over Christmas, and went the extra mile to ensure he got plenty of human contact while we were away during a very busy period. Responsive and reliable, we'd have no hesitation booking again.”
“Georgie was absolutely fantastic. Seeker is very timid and takes a long time to trust new people, while Rowan is reactive and can be quite particular, but they both relaxed with Georgie almost immediately. Seeker was soon curled up beside her, and Rowan proudly brought out all of her favourite toys to show her, which says everything. Georgie was incredibly reliable, kept us updated with lovely messages and photos throughout, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Marcus was the perfect cat sitter - made a preliminary visit to confirm their needs and always provided clear communication about his visits. I felt 100% reassured that they would be safe in his hands and will be re- booking him if I need a cat sitter again in the future.”
“Caitlin has house sat for us on a number of occasions looking after our cats Brandon & Elmo. My boys have their issues but Caitlin is brilliant with them, kind and patient and understands their quirks. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, she is definitely a 5 star sitter, a lovely young lady.”

I live in a house with my partner, daughter and our two lovely dogs. My partner also adores dogs and has had lots of experence with rescuing dogs over the years. We have a 4 year old sproodle and 1 year old golden retriever. They are both incredibly friendly and welcoming.

About: An animal lover that has had all sorts of pets in my family from a young age, an experienced cat sitter, dog walker and newly qualified trainer, I have experience with rescue dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, senior hounds and everything in between! I run my own business so am flexible with time and travel, I enjoy meeting new pet friends so can give them the time and attention they need rather than just the bare minimum. Happy to drop in on cats and dogs to give food and water tops ups, toilet breaks, walks, runs, and most importantly fuss and attention!
“Fiona is lovely. She looked after our 3 cats visiting twice a day for a couple of days taking the time to listen to their needs and our preferences. They were clean, played with and well fed. I would definitely recommend and will be making a future request.”
About: My brother has a beautiful chow that I watch regularly. I’m very active and would love to have a companion (whether just a walk or a sleepover). I appreciate that each dog will have their own unique personalities and needs, and I’m happy to work around that. I walk each morning and evening, so I’m really interested in walking/boarding dogs. Please get in touch if you need support! My house has a fenced garden, nearby parks (< 2min), and room for them to relax. I don’t own a pet currently but watch dogs regularly x I mainly work from home so looking after pups fits in well with my weekly routine.

I am happy to meet up before the booking, particularly if a dog is staying with me, so they can familiarise themselves with the space.

“Richard was absolutely fabulous. As soon as we arrived Lola dashed straight to him, she’s a fantastic judge of character. She was well walked and a very contented dog when we picked her up after her stay. Would recommend Richard to anyone needing their precious pooch looked after. Thank you xxx”
“Doobie is always so excited to go to Chris and Lene's - they are amazing with him and always send lots of photo updates. We feel very lucky to have them close by :) Thanks again!”
“Absolutely amazing. Really great communication and our doggy has come back extremely happy and tired out after a great day playing. Megan was very accommodating to us and we would highly recommend her and definitely plan on using Megan again. Thank you so much!!!!”
“We adore our Staffie and wouldn’t leave her with anyone we can’t trust. It didn’t take long for us to see that Lam is confident, caring, and experienced with dogs, and also understands the importance of keeping owners updated about their whereabouts during the day. She does seem to have become one of Freya’s best friend, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for doggy care.”
“Katelyn was very sweet with Eddie, and though he doesn't like being left and was a bit surprised at first, she soon got him settled down and looked after him well. I picked up a tired, happy and contented dog.”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced dog owner with over 20 years of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with my husband and our dogs Nugget, a friendly 3-year-old Chihuahua × Jack Russell cross, and Archer, my gentle 11-year-old Italian Greyhound. They're both used to having dog visitors, as I already dog sit. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here. They're welcome on the sofa for cuddles, have access to a fully enclosed, secure garden, and we'll enjoy lovely walks just a few minutes from the cliffs and the sea. I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm reliable, responsible, and I'll make sure your dog(s) gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're having a great time. I am currently between jobs and will have plenty of time to look after your dog(s), and give them their daily walks and cuddles I have a fenced of garden that they can always enter. There's grass and a nice lounge set that they are allowed to use :) I fully understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog(s) behind, and I can assure you I will follow all your instructions to keep them safe (as I expect the same thing from my own dogsitter)
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for most of my life and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and older animals that need a bit more care. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my routine to suit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular visits, feeding times, or play sessions. I make sure every pet gets consistent care and attention I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication if needed, and any specific care requirements. I take the time to build trust with each pet and ensure they feel relaxed, whether in my home or the owner’s home. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority.
“Sarah was amazing with Bailey and I was completely reassured that she was in good hands. Bailey was clearly very happy there and if I was local to this area I’d definitely use Sarah’s services again! Thank you”
“Misty, our 4 year old Labrador, had her second day with Nane yesterday. Nane is very flexible in terms of daycare hours. I received a couple of photos and an update from Nane during the day so I knew how Misty was doing. Nane took Misty for a couple of lovely walks and played her favourite game of ball chasing with her. I felt completely relaxed while Misty was with Nane. She will tailor the day to match your animal's needs and provides a safe and comfortable environment for them in her home.”
“Emma and her family were so lovely looking after our dog Winston. He had the best day going on multiple walks and playing in the park, Emma kindly shared pictures throughout the day to keep us updated too :)”

“We had such a great experience with Ali and Kiernan, both are super friendly and clearly absolute dog lovers! We felt completely confident leaving our cheeky Boston girl, Cosmo, in their care. It was lovely to receive updates and photos throughout the day, which really put our minds at ease. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Cosmo will definitely be booked in with them again in the future🐾”
“Pies stayed with Cathy, Mark and Elvis for the first time two days in a row! We first met for a short walk over the weekend for the dogs to get to know each other and for Cathy to have the opportunity to meet and learn about Pies. I could tell straight away that they would get on. Cathy kept me up to date with pictures and videos of what Pies is up to and I felt confident that Pies is well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend their services and I’ll definitely leave Pies with them again without any doubt.”
“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 🥰”
“I had to book last minute, but was delighted that Myla got back to me so quickly to look after my wee boy. Communication was great and Reilly came back tired and happy. Thank you!”
“Jane was absolutely brilliant: she kept us updated all day with cute pictures of Elvis - and he was clearly having a lovely time! We'll definitely be asking her to look after him again. Thank you so much, Jane x”
About: Hi I’m Keeley, I’m 27 years old and I believe every kitty is the best kitty. I have owned cats all my life, and adopted my first dog in June 2025. I have cared for a range of animals, including snakes, reptiles, and fish, all ranging from young ages to elder animals and those towards the end. I adopted my tortoiseshell little baby and sidekick, Georgia in 2018. She was not treated very well at her last home, but now she is thriving and better than ever. I am also a slave to a long-furred Norwegian Forest called Gingey (he’s ginger, would you believe?). I have cared for him from the moment he was born in my family’s back garden in 2011. I am a proud mum to a Golden Retriever called Hera, who was adopted in 2025. Growing up, I cared for two black cats, Barney and Daisy, who were brother and sister. Sadly, they are no longer with us. I am always available and fully-flexible as your next pet minder for East and West Sussex. I am very trustworthy and reliable, I am also DBS checked, and I am very easy to talk to so do not hesitate to get in touch😄.
About: Hello we are Courtney and Dan, a Kiwi and Brit living in Brighton with our 4 year old daughter. We've been looking after doggos since living in NZ through fostering which included us then adopting our 9 year old Cavapoo called Arlo. We all made the move back (including Arlo) to the UK in 2023, to be closer to family. We had to say goodbye to our pup Arlo to doggy heaven at the end of 2024 and looking to pour our love into looking after your companion. Our home is close to the South Downs, perfect for long dog walks in the countryside. Please get in touch if this sounds of interest, we are happy to answer any questions you have, or schedule a meet with your pup. Dan works from home and I am currently on a sabbatical, so the doggos will always have one of us to look after and play with them. We have a fully fenced enclosed garden giving room for your pup to run around or do their business in. We will love your dog like they are part of the family and ensure they are walked and played with.

About: I’ve taken care of and been obsessed with dogs my whole life. Starting from a young age looking after my family dog, to getting my own dog at 16, a working cocker spaniel, to now working at a local recuse centre! Animals are my passion and I am so keen to help any I come across as much as possible! I currently work full-time at a local rescue centre, helping many types of animals recover and rehabilitate into new, loving homes! However, I’m looking to pursue dog walking along side this, before and after my shifts, and on weekends! I am always looking out for the best card for any animals when working with them, and will always prioritise the dogs needs first and foremost! I ensure I don’t walk dogs in dangerous temperatures, and instead can offer other services such as drop-ins, or very early, or late walks!
“We have had Marcus walk our dog for a while now, and know that he is in trusted hands. He is always mindful of the energy of the dogs he brings together in a pack too which is fab. Really recommend Marcus!”

The dog looks forward to seeing her and she’s been great help when we’ve not been around to help her look after him . We have no hesitation in recommending Clarrissa to anyone needing this support .”

About: Me and my wife are both quite outdoorsy people. Most of the dog behavior issues are from excessive energy. So I believe all tired dogs are good dogs. We hike a lot as we had a border collie for 15 years. Training is also important. I believe all dogs can be trained. We just have to be consistent with it. Doing bit by bit everyday. I’m currently working from home. So my hours are based on my puppy’s schedule. Feeding her 8am in the morning and then walk her right after. Bathroom breaks every couple of hours if we’re not out and about, Last walk of the day at 10:30pm before everyone in the house goes to bed. We found her better behave as we stick to the schedule as much as we can. There’s some basic elements in every household that a dog needs if we recognize them and fit in to our lifestyle, it is the same anywhere we live.
About: I love all the animals.Since I remember we always had at least one dog and a cat in the house.Very often it was a rescue dog.My dad has been working as a vet for almost 45 years. Animals a specially cats and dogs playing a very important part in my life. I am currently working part time just a few days per week so I have plenty of time to take care of your cat or a dog. We have a fenced garden and plenary fields or even can take your dog for a walk on the beach with us 1 min walk only.We live in the most beautiful part of East Sussex close to the sunny Seaford beach.My favourite Friston forest! I love long walks with the dogs!
“Caitlin was fantastic with our German Shepherd, Layla, taking her for solo walks each day we were away. She clearly loves and cares a lot about animals and Layla had a great time playing with her. Layla is a large, energetic and strong dog but Caitlin was completely in control and knew how to handle her. We would definitely recommend Caitlin's services, and will be looking to book again in the future!”
About: I’ve had lots of animals throughout my life including dogs, cats, chickens, horses and more. I currently have 2 cats (17 and 15) and a dog (6). I look after my friends dogs regularly as well. I just love being around animals. I’m a paramedic student so would be happy to be getting on with course work whilst looking after a cuddly pal! :) I’m currently at university studying paramedic science. Pet care would fit in really well around my studies! I’m also a part time carer for my elderly Nan along side other family members who take care of her so I’m super flexible on times I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so would only be looking to look after animals at the owners house due to my pets being very old and nervous

I'm now living in Brighton & would love to get back to walking & sitting dogs as I miss it. I am currently available full time for dog boarding, house sitting and dog walking. I live on a large boat in Brighton Marina with my puppy, so please don't book me if you are not happy with your dog being onboard! Your dog will get lots of walks & I have an outside decking area with a grass area to go the the loo. I am home all week & have plenty of time to exercise your dog. I live in the Marina so there are lots of lovely routes to take. I live on a boat in the Marina. There is enough space & can accommodate a small/medium dog. I have an outside deck too. I would take care of your dog as if they were my own.
About: I have had my own own dog, a lovely mixed-breed rescue called Teddy and have looked after dogs professionally for ten plus years. I am used to many breeds including rescues and large breeds. I will treat your dog as my own! X I currently work from home in tech/software. I tend to be in for most of the day only leaving for 3 hours maximum. I enjoy being out at the park, on the beach or walking up the Seven Sisters National Park, all of which is behind my house. I live very close to the beach. My home is on the ground floor, comfortable and I have a huge dog bed and plenty of toys.

“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: I have grown up with dogs and have taken care of them my whole life. My own dog, Willow, is a one year old lab cross and will love to play with your dogs. I work from home every day, I usually give the dogs two walks, one 10 mins one around the block and one longer walk (30-45min) in the downs above my house. The rest of the time, the door to the garden is always open and the garden is fenced and free of hazards. I am happy to fit around any feeding schedule or around any other walking scheduled required for your dog. I have a fully fenced garden, free of hazards. My own dog, Willow is a one year old lab cross and loves to play. She has a lot of energy so if your dog is elderly they will be in different rooms.
About: I have been looking after cats and dogs for the last 25 years. I had my own cats for nearly 20 years, one of whom was neurotic, deaf and in the early stages of dementia when he finally passed (and needed daily medication). Over the past 6 years, I have looked after dogs, cats, horses, and the occasional tortoise through trusted housesitters. But since I settled in Brighton, I have mostly been looking after friends' dogs: cockapoos, staffies, Romanian rescues and loving the company as I work on my PhD. I own my own home with a garden if you need to drop them off, and I also have my own car if I need to get to yours. I am reliable, responsible and active, meaning they will get all the walks and love they need. I work from home, with no fixed meeting times. Depending on the weather and what your dog is used to, I would take them for a walk in the morning, either up on the Downs behind my house, or to the beach, just a 10 minute walk away. We would then spend the day in my study, your dog snoozing on the guest bed or the floor, and me working on my research, with breaks for playtime in the garden and snacks, if allowed. At dinner time, we would go for another walk, either to the Downs, where we might meet up with a couple of other friends with dogs, or back to the park along the seafront. Your dog could then sleep with me on my bed, or on the floor, whatever they are used to. I have a fenced garden, and during the summer months, they can go outside whenever they want. They can go anywhere in my house, but I would only let them on the sofa/bed if that's what they are allowed to do in your home. When we go for a walk, I would not immediately let them off the lead. Still, I would work up to that, starting with short periods in a safe environment and ensuring they know I have chicken or another high-value treat, which I would reward them with every time I called them and they returned.
“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”
“Thank you Toni for looking after Mademoiselle La Flooph… very kind and generous with your communications and reassurances ( I can be a worry mum) and Birdy was calm happy and smiling when we collected her. I was really happy with the care and love you gave, the updates and understanding when we arrived home a little late. Until next time X”
“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: Hi! We're Shammah and Beulah; we are sisters away from home. We both have a love for animals and thought this would be fun and rewarding. What sets us apart is the genuine care and patience we bring to every pet we meet. We have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra love and attention. We're confident in basic training, administering medication, and creating a calm, comforting environment that helps pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. We currently live together so we would both share the caring duties - two for the price of one! Our weekends and evenings are free. We occasionally work from home, so we can also provide care during working hours if needed. We both work, so some notice would be ideal. We live in a spacious house right next to a public park, which makes trips to the toilet and walks super accessible. We have space for a crate and wooden floors if puppy pads or litter boxes are required
“Uma has looked after Ruby our Working Cocker Spaniel twice now for overnight boarding stays and we'll certainly be using her in the future. She's brilliant, clearly loves animals and seems very experienced with looking after dogs. Very caring and concerned about Ruby's well being who is nearly fourteen and can be a little challenging at times!”
