“Mila was a great sitter for Scout. She kept in touch regularly with photos and updates. She let us know quickly about a diet issue and made good suggestions for Scouts welfare. She and her family were very reassuring in messages, a meet and greet and a trial walk in advance of a 2 week stay. We were nervous from a past bad experience from another sitting service but Mila set our minds at rest. we are very happy with Scout’s care from Mila. We would definitely recommend her and would hope Scout could stay again in future.”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“Lam S is so brilliant and has been absolutely fabulous with our boy Cosmo. This was his first overnight and we felt at such ease knowing Cosmo was cared for so well. We will definitely be using Lam S again ☺️💕 100% recommend”
About: Hi, I'm Santa! I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both dogs and cats. For the past two years I've been raising and training my own dog, Link, who has taught me so much about patience, consistency and understanding different dog personalities. I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra patience, including those who can become overexcited or easily distracted on walks. This has taught me to read canine body language, stay calm under pressure, and tailor my approach to each dog's individual needs. Before getting Link, I volunteered through BorrowMyDoggy, where I regularly walked a lovely Staffordshire Bull Terrier for around a year, as well as spending time with several other dogs. It gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels while helping owners who needed an extra hand. Whether your dog loves long adventures, relaxed sniffy walks or simply wants company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention and affection. I'll always treat your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know they're happy and in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine. I walk my own dog every day and make time for training, enrichment and play, so looking after other dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I work shifts, which means I often have flexibility on different days of the week, allowing me to offer walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting around my working hours. When I'm caring for your pet, they'll receive the same attention, patience and care that I give my own dog. If your dog stays in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment and treated like part of the family. I'll only accept dogs that I know are a good match for my home and my own dog, ensuring everyone's safety and wellbeing comes first. I have a big fenced garden and I live in a small and quiet village with beautiful and safe walks right on my doorstep. My cottage is small but the outside offers so much more. When im walking your dog, I'll always use the equipment you provide (unless we agree otherwise), keep dogs on lead where required, and avoid situations that may cause unnecessary stress. I'll make sure they have fresh water and plenty of exercise.
“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.”
“Trevor is a typical terrier with a big attitude and strong opinions and as a result can be a bit tricky so I’m very careful about who I leave him with. Michelle followed my guidance to the letter, stuck to his routines and it sounds like they both had a wonderful time as a result. She provided daily updates dates with photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to book boarding for Trevor with Michelle again, she genuinely cares and wants to do the best for your dog.”
“Valentina was brilliant with our rescue dog Dylan and we are really grateful as this was a last minute booking . She kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages . Would recommend”
“Loki loves being with Sophie and Yando, we can tell because he always says good bye to both of them with so much affection. We trust Sophie and Yando to take good care of Loki when is boards with both of them. Thank you.”
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.
“Sam & Tilly are just a lovely couple with a lovely home!! They had my dog from Monday-Friday and treated him like their own. If you need your pooch looked after, look no further. Thank you both so much, it’s greatly appreciated”
“Joely is wonderful, she stayed up with doggo whilst she settled on the first night. She sent photo updates of doggo having a blast and snuggles in silly ways. Doggo is chilled where she has obviously come back from her own relaxing holiday. Can't recommend Joely enough! Thank you Joely, you're a wonderful and caring human. Thank you for sharing your home with our fluffy family member.”

“So pleased we chose Katie and her wife Amanda to look after our cat , they are lovely people. Really caring with our shy boy. We had daily updates and photos. Couldn’t have asked for more”
“Amy was fantastic with Beanz! She communicated clearly throughout, and made the whole process stress-free. She spent time playing with Beanz, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for. She also kept his food and water bowls clean, and I came back to a tidy kitchen. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future, highly recommended!”
“Marcus was a pleasure to meet and I was very happy with the care he gave my elderly, blind cat. She is very wary of strangers since losing her sight but he was patient and kind and quickly won her over! Marcus sent sweet pictures and regular updates; I'd recommend him to anyone! Many thanks, Marcus.”
“Joe is a lovely person and when he popped over to meet me and my foster cat, he put me at ease. He is knowledgeable about cats which I found re-assuring as I have one foster nursing mum with four kittens. Joe sent me daily photos and videos. Will call on Joe again, when in need of a cat-sitter. ”
About: I have had cats most of my life. In my early 20s, I adopted a cat my friend found called Clemmie and thoroughly miss having a companion. When we first found her, she was quite nervous and angry, with time she became such a loving, sweet cat and was always excited for visitors. She broke her leg as well as struggled with reoccurring conjunctivitis giving me experience caring for unwell animals. I understand cats well, often they like their own space and to will come to you for love in their own time. I'm equally keen to give them affection and give them the independence they deserve.
About: Cats have always been part of my life, and I grew up in an animal-loving family where we always had cats at home. I’ve been caring for cats and kittens since I was young and really enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. While living in Tokyo, I volunteered at a local animal shelter and later fostered two cats during the pandemic, including one with special needs. That experience taught me a lot about patience, observation, and helping cats feel safe in new environments. I’m comfortable caring for shy cats, energetic kittens, or older cats who need a calm and gentle approach. I’ll always make sure your cat feels safe, well cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and comfortable.
About: Ive been dog sitting for 10+ years and I have made lots of doggy friendships during that time through walking and boarding! I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember and I've also supported my grandma in rescuing and rebuilding confidence in several ex race greyhounds. 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. They have both been surrounded by dogs and love the extra company ❤ When your pup visits they will have access to: -snuffle activities -lick mats - other enrichment activites such as treat dispensers - a box full of toys! - a huge amount of tennis balls -accommodating walks to suit your pup (short, long, on lead, off lead etc) - a trip to a secure private feild that I can hire - lots and lots of love from humans and our own pups ❤ I am a primary school teacher so therefore have weekends free and the bonus of school holidays! I'd love nothing more than to spend this free time in the company of dogs 😍

The daily detailed updates were reassuring. I would have no hesitation in recommending Samantha for this service and will definitely be booking her in the future!”
About: I was raised around all types of dogs and have over five years of hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, Milo and Clifford. I’ve also regularly looked after dogs for family and friends over the years, building trust and confidence in providing safe, loving, reliable care. Milo and Clifford are friendly, neutered, and love having playmates. 🐶🐾 I work during the week, which makes me perfectly suited to caring for pets while owners enjoy weekend getaways. I’m also available for morning and evening walks or drop-in visits during the week, ensuring pets receive consistent care, attention, and routine even when you’re busy. 🐾 I care for every dog as if they were my own, following their usual routines to help them feel safe and settled. Owners provide their dog’s food to maintain their normal diet, and I have a crate available if needed. I also have a secure, fully enclosed garden for safe playtime, plus easy access to plenty of open fields for long, enjoyable walks and exercise. 🐶🌿🐾
“As wonderful as ever, My cat is a very nervous cat.However I should not have worried. Lots Of updates and pictures are wonderful And it is very clear that my cat is head over heels in love with her. My mum calls her the cat whisperer ♥️😻”
“I was anxious leaving my cats as one is poorly and on meds, and both can be nervous. Had daily messages to confirm they were fine and were taking meds with no trouble. Was nice to have a pre-visit so Caitlin could meet them, and the cats could get used to a new person.”
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. With enough notice I can work from home which allows me to care for dogs during the working week. I’m vigilant, caring and enjoy spending time with dogs. 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.
About: I've always loved caring for cats from a young age. My family would regularly take care of neighbours cats when they went away which I always enjoyed. I have continued to care for animals throughout my adult life. I worked for Guide Dogs for the Blind for several years. This meant I gained an ability to confidently deal with all types of animals. I have also worked on several farms whilst travelling which involved caring for cats, dogs, chickens and cows. I love building relationships with animals and providing a safe place for them to thrive alongside us humans.
“Ellie was a fantastic and considerate cat sitter. We received daily pics and updates, which made our time away so relaxing. Our little terror, BooBoo took to her, and we were so pleased to see that. Cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have the comfort of knowing our cat and house was so well taken care of by Ellie. Will use her again and would recommend her to anyone. She was so lovely.”

“Lam was very diligent and communicative - it was the hottest day of the year so far but she looked after Ozzie and the rest of her boarders very well, sending me an update in the day letting me know how he was getting on. I will definitely be using Lam again as the need arises!”
“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.”
“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 :)”

“Garazi was super helpful, met him a few days earlier and picked him up from home on the day.

Will definitely be contacting Garazi again for future doggy day care!”

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 have had pets for my whole life. I had two border collie puppies and two kittens when I was a kid so I have had experience caring for animals at all stages of their life. I have experience giving both cats and dogs medications and following special diets. I love going on walks with dogs and spending time outdoors. I currently have a labradoodle puppy who is 10 weeks old and so I am regaining the experience of training a puppy again. I have always been an animal lover and old dogs have a special place in my heart. I am doing a Masters degree at the moment and so I will have lots of time to spend with your pets on my days off. I am unable to look after pets in my own home as I don't want to stress out my cats but I will follow your guidance and rules about caring for your pet in your own home. I am neat and tidy and I will make sure that the house remains clean and tidy and safe for your pet. Your pet will be kept on a leash for the full duration of walks. I will also only give them treats that are approved by you first and that their dietary requirements are strictly followed.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We used this dog‑sitting service while travelling to Brighton so we could enjoy some indoor family activities, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The dog sitter was incredibly caring, attentive, and clearly very experienced. Our dog was made to feel completely at home and even built a lovely bond with her own dog. When it came time to collect him, he honestly didn’t want to leave – which says it all! It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was so happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself while we were away. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for reliable, loving dog care and will definitely be using them again. An excellent experience from start to finish.”

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: CURRENTLY ON A BREAK: Hi everyone! I'm currently on a wilderness trip to America! I'll be gone for a few months and should be back by December at the latest. I apologise for any inconvenience and would love to chat to you all when I get back! Give your pets lots of cuddles from me. Thanks! -------- Aside from looking after my own adorable border terrier, I've cared for dogs big and small, cuddled up to some cats, guinea pigs, birds, snakes and fed some fish! I've always loved animals and as a pet owner I understand how important it is that your animal friends are treated with love and care. I have previous experience administering medication to both cats and dogs, carrying elderly dogs up and down the stairs (just small ones, I'm not that buff!) and looking after energetic puppies. I'm more than happy to meet any animal that needs caring for. I'm sure we'll get along great! ---------------------- The total booking fee of any house-sitting stay is doubled for constant care (pets who can't be left alone for longer than 4 hours total in the daytime, within a 24 hour period). I love being with your pets and will be spending as much time as I can with them. However, I also need to run errands, go to school and may just want to see friends or family. I am able to provide constant care, but will increase my prices for this to reflect the increase in commitment. Thank you for understanding! I'm currently only studying on Mondays and Tuesdays until 4pm, so the rest of the week I'm completely free! I'm also more than happy to housesit on these days if you don't mind me being out at the beginning of the week (but every other day I'm a big homebody!). I completely understand that some pets can be nervous having a new person coming into their home. Absolutely anything I can do to make both you and your pet feel more comfortable- just say the word! I have experience crating dogs and soothing nervous ones- whether it's a stroke or a run around they need. I always try to leave a place better than how I found it. No messes! I'd love to chat with you more about your pet and get to know how to best take care of your individual animal friend's needs.
About: My first pet sitting experience was looking after my neighbour’s cat for 2 weeks while the owners were away on holiday at the age of 14. Now I look after my own dogs and occasionally family / friend’s dogs. Love going for long walks along the beach, or going to the park where the dogs can run around freely. Depending on the breed, I may be able to offer bathing and / or brushing and feeding pets. I work 3-4 days a week (part time) so I will have some availability during the week. Would love to put this time to good use by offering my services to you. I can follow basic security protocols, such as making sure the doors are closed/locked to ensure the dogs are safely inside the owner’s home. I can take the dogs out for regular potty break, for instance every one to two hours. I will go by your schedule for things like feeding time and walkies.
“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 have been pet sitting since I was 13 and have looked after a multitude of different pets - dogs, cats and birds! I am always eager to spend time with animals and to make sure they are the happiest they can be! I am currently a student at the University of Sussex and am looking to make some extra money during term time and holidays. I have lots of spare time between lectures and extracurriculars and am always eager to lend a helping hand! I can follow care instructions exceptionally well in order to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they can be! I am confident that I can look after and walk dogs of all sizes without any issues. I live near vast fields which are perfect to walk around in rain or shine.

“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“Lam S is so brilliant and has been absolutely fabulous with our boy Cosmo. This was his first overnight and we felt at such ease knowing Cosmo was cared for so well. We will definitely be using Lam S again ☺️💕 100% recommend”
About: Hi, I'm Santa! I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both dogs and cats. For the past two years I've been raising and training my own dog, Link, who has taught me so much about patience, consistency and understanding different dog personalities. I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra patience, including those who can become overexcited or easily distracted on walks. This has taught me to read canine body language, stay calm under pressure, and tailor my approach to each dog's individual needs. Before getting Link, I volunteered through BorrowMyDoggy, where I regularly walked a lovely Staffordshire Bull Terrier for around a year, as well as spending time with several other dogs. It gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels while helping owners who needed an extra hand. Whether your dog loves long adventures, relaxed sniffy walks or simply wants company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention and affection. I'll always treat your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know they're happy and in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine. I walk my own dog every day and make time for training, enrichment and play, so looking after other dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I work shifts, which means I often have flexibility on different days of the week, allowing me to offer walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting around my working hours. When I'm caring for your pet, they'll receive the same attention, patience and care that I give my own dog. If your dog stays in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment and treated like part of the family. I'll only accept dogs that I know are a good match for my home and my own dog, ensuring everyone's safety and wellbeing comes first. I have a big fenced garden and I live in a small and quiet village with beautiful and safe walks right on my doorstep. My cottage is small but the outside offers so much more. When im walking your dog, I'll always use the equipment you provide (unless we agree otherwise), keep dogs on lead where required, and avoid situations that may cause unnecessary stress. I'll make sure they have fresh water and plenty of exercise.
“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.”
“Trevor is a typical terrier with a big attitude and strong opinions and as a result can be a bit tricky so I’m very careful about who I leave him with. Michelle followed my guidance to the letter, stuck to his routines and it sounds like they both had a wonderful time as a result. She provided daily updates dates with photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to book boarding for Trevor with Michelle again, she genuinely cares and wants to do the best for your dog.”
“Valentina was brilliant with our rescue dog Dylan and we are really grateful as this was a last minute booking . She kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages . Would recommend”
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.
“Sam & Tilly are just a lovely couple with a lovely home!! They had my dog from Monday-Friday and treated him like their own. If you need your pooch looked after, look no further. Thank you both so much, it’s greatly appreciated”
“Joely is wonderful, she stayed up with doggo whilst she settled on the first night. She sent photo updates of doggo having a blast and snuggles in silly ways. Doggo is chilled where she has obviously come back from her own relaxing holiday. Can't recommend Joely enough! Thank you Joely, you're a wonderful and caring human. Thank you for sharing your home with our fluffy family member.”

“Sam had our dog Pinkie to stay for a couple of nights and he was great with her. She's been been a bit nervous lately but he was knowledgeable and had a very calm manner that we both (dog and human) really appreciated. I loved all the videos too. We've booked her in when we're away at Christmas 🙂”
“Georgie was a fantastic sitter for our lovely shih tzu Chips! Georgie had Chips for a week and was just excellent from start to finish. She was very caring and kind, sent regular updates throughout our holiday and we felt Chips was loved and cared for so well. We met up before the week and went on a walk which really made me feel confident she would be a great person to leave our precious pooch with! I would not hesitate to recommend her services and would gladly ask her to look after him again if she is available. Thank you Georgie, from Lucy, Greg and Chips!”
“Jane was absolutely amazing with our dog Stormy. She took great care of him and gave him lots of love and attention. He had a wonderful time with her while we were away. She kept us informed about him sent photos daily. I will not hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her.”
“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”
“Jack was very well looked after by Helen and her gorgeous son. We met before we booked and both sides had questions but no worries on either side after we met. Dropped Jack off and Helen gave me frequent updates and pics, which I really appreciated. Helen gave Jack a very comfortable home while we were away with frequent walks and outings. Helen’s son became Jack’s partner in crime and he loved to drop little scraps of food for Jack (we had agreed to this beforehand) which made Jack like home even more. I could not have been happier about Jack’s care by Helen and would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you so much Helen x”
“Neo boarded at Emily's for a week and I could see how much he bonded with her when I picked him up - he was torn between greeting me enthusiastically and getting Emily's attention too at the same time which speaks a lot to me. I regularly received pictures of what they were up to and I was able to enjoy my holidays knowing that my baby was being well cared for!”
