About: Hi! I’m Brie and I can’t wait to meet your adorable fur baby!🐾 I live with my husband Tom, our little goofy Frenchie, Nala and our sweet and nutty cat, Belle. I have a Level 3 Certificate in Animal Management and have worked for places such as RSPCA and Cats Protection so you can be sure that not only will your pet be treated with love and care, but will be in very safe and knowledgable hands! I have grown up my whole life with dogs and cats, including our gorgeous family dog who sadly passed away last year. She was a rescue with some food and fear aggression towards dogs so I am also very comfortable with these situations too! I have also grown up with cats, from kitten age to seniors, including cats with special requirements such as medication needs! I trained Nala from a puppy so am very comfortable with looking after puppies of any age and can offer lots of cuddles and attention with some training games mixed in! I currently have a full time office job but animals are my true passion! I am available week days from 6pm and weekends at any time! Your pet will have my undivided attention while in your home or out and about on our fun walks! I will walk your dog close to your area so you can be sure they will be comfortable and feel safe in their surroundings!

About: I have always had animals and cats front up and until earlier this year we had a lovely cat (Izzy) so I have extensive experience in caring and looking after animals.
“Amazing cat sitter! Cannot reccomend Charlotte enough. My cat is very timid and Charlotte took the time to sit with her for a while so she wouldn't be so scared when she visited. She was looked after so well. I felt super assured with Charlotte looking after my cat. 10 out of 10 stars!”
“Laura looked after our cat Bob for a week while me and my partner were away. She went above and beyond our expectations. The updates and pictures of Bobby were great. It was reassuring to know he was in such great hands! Couldn’t recommend her enough, we will definitely be asking Laura to come back when we next go away.”
About: I grew up with cats , including two of my own. I love them and I still am lucky enough to look after two regularly for a friend of mine. I usually look after dogs on Rover but I am open to looking after cats as well.

“This is the second visit that Izzy has had with Carolyn and her lovely family. Carolyn was a lifesaver and helped me out with a last-minute request for doggy daycare. Izzy was right at home and is now snuggled up sleeping. Thanks so much 😁🐕”
“Claire was amazing with Hope. She kept us up to date and she was very nice about us being a bit late with the pick up! Hope greeted us with the biggest smile when we picked her up. She was clearly having the best time! Claire and her hubby Tom are truly lovely people! Hope cannot wait to hang out with them again ❤️”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 9 and often walked people’s dogs on ‘Borrow my Doggy’ in London and Sussex. I’ve often looked after friend’s dogs when they’re on holiday. I work from home so am able to look after a dog easily. I can walk dogs in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. I can also look after dogs at the weekend. I live very close to the park. I live in a flat but am only a few minutes from the park so can walk there very easily, multiple times a day with the dog.
“Izzy had the most wonderful time with Nessa and her three gorgeous doggies. She had so much fun playing ball with them and had loads of lovely walks and time in the garden. She will definitely be returning!”
“From the moment I met Jordan and her husband I felt comfortable leaving Naia with them. Naias first session was great, she was excited to arrive, and Ivy was there to the last minute to say goodbye!”
“Svetlana was absolutely brilliant with my puppy Bobby and even helped me out on such short notice, she was very welcoming and Bobby throughly enjoyed his time there, would recommend to anyone.”
“Hollie was absolutely wonderful! The most caring, nuturing dog sitter. We have a dog who does suffer a little from separation anxiety but Hollie was wonderful. Kept us regularly updated with photos and messages and I know when he comes back happy, he just flopped on the sofa after a wonderful day out! I so appreciate your kindness and all the cuddles Hollie, it means the world when you leave your fur baby! Thank you!”
“Luna was so excited to see Jess and Dom again today. A clear sign that she loved her time with them. The photos updates were lovely and she came home very happy and worn out after a fun day.”
“Lauren and her partner were fantastic - inviting me to see their home on arrival, updating me with photos and videos throughout the day and putting our nervous dog at ease quickly. Will 100% use Lauren again, Daisy had such a good day with Maggie! Thank you 🐾”
“Jenny took great care of our little boy! He can be a little nervous and reactive with new people but she was so accommodating, we had a meeting ahead of time where he could check out the house and get to know Jenny and her husband. We then booked in for half a day to ease him in and Jenny managed to fit in a walk and even squeezed in a snooze and a little cuddle before lunch! Thank you for being so understanding of his barking, he can't wait to come again ❤️”
“Viviana was amazing with our 5-month-old puppy! She was incredibly kind, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. Our pup was clearly well cared for and happy. We would absolutely recommend Viviana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“We secured our booking after a meet & greet where Gin and Laura seemed happy with each other ahead of her full day stay a few days later. Laura was very amenable, flexible and friendly with Gin and us humans. I would be very happy to contact Laura again when I visit my daughter in Hassocks. Thank you for enabling our day trip to London.”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. Canine first aid trained in 2026. Outdoors and dog lover. My favourite way to pass the time is on long walks in nature. I am currently taking a break from working in the music industry while deciding on my next steps moving forward. This means that I have plenty of time to tend to your pets needs as I am not currently tied to a 9-5 schedule. I am open to direction on a case by case basis. Please inform me of your pets individual needs e.g command words, favourite walking routes, on/off lead preferences. I am happy to edit my service based on what it is you feel your pet needs.
“Emma was patient with Daisy and allowed her time to work through her nervous ways ! She sent lots of photos and updates which always helps to put my mind at ease. Emma’s dogs were gentle and welcomed Daisy into the pack - will definitely be booking again !”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I live in a secluded road with a secure garden. I have two friendly female cockers, who are very laid back and love having friends to visit. Can be kept separate if needed. My house backs onto some lovely local walks, I walk my dogs twice daily. I work part time from home so have plenty of time for 1-2-1. I am up early to get the dogs out before the day starts. I take them out again at lunchtime or during the evening. The weekends I usually go for hikes which the dogs love. Our pets are part of the family so welcome up on furniture for cuddles and free roam downstairs. We have a fully secure Fenced garden. They can sleep in the room with our friendly girls, or have a separate room with their own bed. I can provide a dog bed.
“Stephanie certainly knows dogs, and she got along well with our highly energised 3-year-old Staffy. Very communicative and flexible because we had some last-minute schedule changes. I would recommend Stephanie and utilise her services again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and enjoy looking after friends and family’s pets as well. I love going on walks and having cuddles on the sofa and I will make sure your animals are well looked after I work Tuesday to Saturday evenings but can drop in on mornings and lunchtimes those days and then I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays I have a high fenced large garden and a small terrier and cat. We feed them both twice a day and the back door is usually open so they can go in and out whenever
About: Hello! I’m Hannah and I’ve been a huge dog lover since a very early age. I regularly look after family, friends and colleagues dogs and now do this alongside my full-time job. I have also fostered dogs long-term for Raystede animal charity. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. For dog boarding, I appreciate that every dog has their own individual needs and routine and I try to recreate this in my home. I know pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I work from home 3 days a week and have alternate Friday’s off, so I have lots of time to cuddle your pups! I don’t work weekends so am extra flexible on Saturdays and Sundays. There are two external doors (excluding front door) to get outside, so your pets will be very safe in the flat. There is a communal garden unfenced but away from the road, a woods about 5 minutes away, plus a large park at the top of my road.
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, particularly dogs and cats, and have developed a genuine understanding of animal care, behaviour and wellbeing. I have hands-on experience with pet care, dog walking, cat visits and house sitting, and have supported both family members and clients with their pets while they have been away or during times when they have needed extra support. I have cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and routines, always taking a calm and individual approach. I offer one-to-one dog walks focused on safety, calm handling and making sure each dog feels comfortable and secure. I have also looked after my dad’s home and dog for several weeks while he recovered from surgery, making sure his dog was walked, fed and cared for within a consistent routine. Through my cleaning work, I have also been trusted regularly with clients’ homes and keys, so I understand the importance of being respectful, responsible and trustworthy in someone else’s home. I have experience with cats through family, local cats and cat drop-in visits, as well as house sitting. I’m comfortable with different feline personalities and understand the importance of giving cats the right balance of companionship, attention and space. I’m happy to take care of feeding, litter trays, playtime and their usual routines while their owners are away. I previously volunteered with the RSPCA, which further strengthened my passion for animal welfare. I have also spent time at an ethical elephant sanctuary in Thailand, helping with feeding and caring for rescued elephants. A little about my daughter: I have a 4-year-old daughter who may accompany me on some house sits, depending on my childcare arrangements. She is gentle, calm and very comfortable around animals. I only accept bookings where the owner is happy for her to be there and where the pets are comfortable around children. I’m always happy to discuss this before booking. I’m calm, reliable, caring and respectful of people’s homes. I take pride in giving animals a safe, reassuring and consistent environment while their owners are away, and I always take the time to understand their individual routines and needs. Fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking. I offer flexible availability throughout the week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I currently have daytime and afternoon availability on weekdays, with additional flexibility on weekends for walks, pet care, and overnight stays. For longer house sitting bookings, I may occasionally have my young daughter with me if previously discussed and agreed with owners. She is calm, gentle around animals, and respectful in home environments. I am always happy to communicate clearly about schedules and work with owners to find arrangements that suit both their pets’ needs and my availability. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home and caring for your pets. Through my cleaning work, I have been trusted with clients’ house keys and access to their homes on a regular basis, which has helped me build a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and respect for people’s spaces. I always aim to provide a calm, safe, clean, and caring environment for pets while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I treat every home with care and respect, and I pride myself on being trustworthy, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.
About: Ive been offering boarding and doggie day care services for the past 5 years. We are a dog loving family (my 2 children are 12 and 14 years old) - and have our own very affectionate cocker spaniel Ruby. I have a policy of a maximum of two dogs at a time as it is my priority to offer your dog the attention they need in a quiet and calm home environment. I work part time from home so I am always around to offer your dog country walks and attention throughout the day. I love the outdoors and love hiking and walking - we live nearby to lots of beautiful walks - eg Ashdown Forest, Ardingly Resevoir & Showground which are excellent stomping ground. I do a daily walk of 45 mins to an hour but this can of course be tailored to suit the requirements of your dog. I live in a private road which has no traffic and have a large garden (0.75 acres) which is fully fenced and doggie proofed so your dog will have lots of garden to explore and run about in in between walks. I work part time from home so am at home all day during the week. I offer daily walks of up to 1 hour but can always tailor this to your dog if they need more or less I have a large garden (0.75 acres) which is fully fenced so there is lots of room to run around in between walks. Dogs are allowed on sofas but I do ask that dogs sleep downstairs in their own bed at night.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and grew up in a very pet-friendly environment. I had my own Dachshund for 19 years, as well as parrots, so I'm experienced with both dogs and birds. My extended family also had cats and dogs and I've looked after pets for friends as well. I also have experience with puppies, including helping care for litters when my dog had her own. From a young age, I've felt comfortable around all kinds of dogs, including strays that I looked after and I naturally build trust with them. I provide calm, attentive walks and care and l always treat each pet as an individual, making sure they feel safe, relaxed and well looked after. I’m available for dog walking on weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times in advance if needed and agree on times that work well for both of us. When caring for pets I try to follow their usual routine, if they have one, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh water, food and plenty of attention, play and exercise. During walks, I prioritise safety at all times and ensure dogs are handled calmly and responsibly.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. We’ve had Cavalier King Charles, Springer, Cocker snd Sprockers plus a Rottweiler. I’m young and energetic and happy to take your pet out on a long (or short) walk when you can’t be there. And even stay the night if you’re away. I currently have 2 Sprockers and 2 kittens so I am well experienced with both dogs and cats. I currently work full time but my job is pretty flexible. I can leave during my lunch breaks if need be and can also leave work early to accommodate your pets if need be. I would be best suited to caring for your pets at your own home or taking them out for walks as I recently moved in to a flat with my kittens. I am open to anything so please feel free to message me.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, over 30 years since I was a young child. I had a child-minder four days a week, she had two huge, gorgeous German Sherpherd dogs and a partner at the time who had his own German Sherpherd and he trained police dogs. I learned a lot about canine behaviour and still have to this day a great deal of respect for the trust dogs put in us to lead the pack. I know that trust is earned not granted. Being outdoors with dogs (or horses) is where I'm happiest, so I've made it my work (not with horses, yet!). I walk in all weathers - come rain or shine. I'm currently looking towards my dog training certification. Happy to do drop-in visits and cat feeding and cuddles too. Every new dog starts with a free meet and greet. I am available as follows: Monday 12.30 - 2pm for morning walks. 4- 6 pm for afternoon walks. Wednesday 10 - 12.30pm for morning walks. 4 - 6pm for afternoon walks. Thursday 10 - 1pm for morning walks. 4 - 6pm for afternoon walks. Friday 11 - 1pm for morning walks. 4 - 6pm for afternoon walks.. Saturday 12 - 6pm. All care takes place in your pet's own home or on our walks, where they're most comfortable — I don't board animals at mine. Before any first booking we do a free meet and greet so I can learn your pet's routine, quirks and any medical needs, and you can ask me anything. Dogs are walked on-lead unless you've told me otherwise, with collar, harness and lead checked before every walk, and I never walk more than 3 dogs at a time. In your home I follow your routine exactly — feeding, water, litter, medication — and I double-check doors, windows and gates are secure before I leave. Cats stay in or out strictly per your instructions. Your keys are stored securely and never labelled with your address, I keep your vet's details to hand for every booking, and you get a photo update from every walk or visit so you always know how they're doing.
About: I am recently retired and I have never owned my own dog but I’m grandma to a rescue dog who I look after often. She’s quite tricky on walks as she is reactive to other dogs but I have learnt to manage her well I have plenty of time as I’m newly retired and I really enjoy walking so I’m looking forward to taking some company along with me I have an enclosed garden and live a couple of minutes walk from lots of fields and woods where there are lots of pleasant walks
About: I’ve been around dogs and other pets for most of my life and love caring for them. I often look after my daughter’s dogs - a lively working cocker spaniel and a sweet bichon mixed breed. Before that, we had a much-loved Airedale who was a member of our family for many years, who we got as a puppy. I’ve also had other pets in the past who lived long, happy lives, so I understand the commitment, patience and love they need. Family, friends and neighbours have trusted me over the years to walk, feed and keep their pets company. Having cared for dogs with different temperaments and needs, I make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe and well looked after. Whether it’s walks, playtime or cuddles, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. My work is very flexible at the moment, which means I have plenty of spare time to dedicate to pet care. I love being around dogs, and I’m looking to spend more time looking after them because it brings me a lot of joy. With a little notice, I can easily fit walks, playtime and general care into my daily routine without any problem. I’m also available some weekends. In my home, pets are cared for as if they were my own. I have a safe, fenced garden where dogs can play and explore securely, and they’re always supervised. I make sure they feel comfortable, with plenty of walks, playtime and cuddles to suit their needs. In a pet owners home, I follow their usual routines closely so pets feel settled and cared for, keeping to their feeding, exercise and rest schedules. My priority is always to make pets feel safe, happy and loved.

Over the years, I have cared for many animals and genuinely find so much joy in building trust and connection with them. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I will take the time to get to know them and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting more furry friends 😊 I run my own business as a full-time Play Therapist, which means I bring patience, empathy, and attentiveness into everything I do, including caring for your pets. I am available for drop-ins at any time in the week morning and evenings and walks on weekends. I am also open to overnight stays, please feel free to enquire if needed! Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I am a reliable and respectful person with plenty of house-sitting experience.

You can feel confident knowing your home and furry friends are in safe, responsible hands.
About: I have looked after a multitude of dogs of different breeds and ages since I was 13 including my own dauschund (Maggie), my grandparents cockapoo (Kea) and my neighbours Labrador (Rufus). I have now been on Rover for a year and clients have trusted me to walk, feed, play and most importantly give cuddles to their precious pooches. I can look after dogs with any temperaments so whether your dog is looking for a more relaxed person who can be a couch potato with them or whether your dog is looking for someone to take them on a long and exciting walk, I would love to be the person they chose! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to look after your pups and I am available most weekends and weekdays so just let me know a time and place! I have a back garden which is fully secure that your pup can play around in. I live by loads of exciting walk routes including spacious fields and woods that are all dog friendly spaces!
“Lilah has been incredibly warm and patient with our puppy. He has some challenging behaviours but she taken this in her stride and he has quickly taken to her. We will definitely be booking again and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve been around animals for many years and have lots of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have my own cat and have also owned a much-loved dog, so I completely understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. We’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and family over the years and know lots of dogs with very different personalities, ages and needs. I’m confident with everything from energetic dogs who love a good walk to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little extra care. I’m comfortable following individual feeding routines, giving oral medication where needed and sticking closely to the routines and instructions owners provide. I’m equally happy popping in to feed, play with and spend time with cats, while respecting those who prefer their own space! Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet I look after with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m also very happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I work part-time and am off from Saturday through to Wednesday each week, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On these days I can be very flexible with walks, drop-in visits and spending quality time with pets throughout the day. As I’m not trying to squeeze visits around a full-time job, I can work around your pet’s usual routine and give them the time and attention they’re used to. Whether that’s a morning walk, lunchtime visit, afternoon adventure or simply some company and cuddles at home, I’m happy to be flexible around their needs. My animals are genuinely the love of my life. I don’t have children, so my pets are very much my family, and I completely understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in somebody else’s care. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience and attention I give my own. I’m very happy to follow their normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, medication, playtime and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they want them! When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of both their space and yours and will make sure they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. If they’re staying with me, I want them to feel safe, relaxed and very much part of the family. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates because I know from experience how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy while you’re apart.

“Just collected Rosie from her first overnight stay. Rosie had a great time as evidenced from all the pictures and videos. Thank you Jade. Hope to book with you again very soon. Tracey”
“Pepper and Odin clearly had a great time, and were in fine spirits when we picked them up! Tristan was good enough to meet them before the booking as it was their first night away which was great. Comms were great and would highly recommend.”
“Daisy stayed over for 3 nights with Lauren, while we were away. She sent regular updates with photos and put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our time away, knowing that Daisy was being cared for so well! Thank you so much again x”
“Darcie clearly loves staying with Jenny. When I dropped her off last time, she was so excited to get into the house, which says everything. It’s such a relief to know she feels happy, comfortable and well looked after. I’d happily recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking again.”
“We could not have wished for a better holiday home for our Labrador Indy. Karl and Nicky are very knowledgeable and offer a loving home from home. Their beautiful dog Albie was the perfect playmate and Indy enjoyed lovely walks to new and exciting places and lots of fun in the garden. We got regular photos and updates and knew that Indy was having a wonderful time. We will definitely want to book Indy in for another stay on our next holiday and could not recommend this lovely couple highly enough to take care of your beloved dog. Thank you so much Karl, Nicky and Albie.”
“Jess and Dom took great care of our Choc Labrador for a one night stay. He settled in super quickly and enjoyed lots of fuss and some woodland walks. We received regular photo and message updates throughout his stay which was brilliant and when we went to pick him up, he didn't want to come home! Thank you Jess and Dom!”
“Emma is very welcoming and caring. She accommodated an early drop off which helped us make our train which was really helpful. Emma sent us regular updates how our doggy Blue was settling in and enjoying her stay. We’ve already booked Emma again and would do so in the future. Recommend 100%. Blue was well looked after, thank you Emma.”
“Extremely pleased we made this choice to leave our beloved Springer Spaniel Tilly with Hollie. She really seems to love the dogs and gave Tilly great attention. Lovely updates a which made us feel very confident and comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend.”
“Steph and her boyfriend have been amazing with Zaky! We met a week in advancd so that Zaky could see them and the flat. She looked after him for 4 days while we were on holiday and kept me updated and sent photos of my little one few times a day. I will definitely book Steph's services again and highly recommend to anyone 😀”
About: I volunteer for the cinnamon trust, walking and sitting for people’s dogs near me. I live near the South Downs so it’s the perfect place to take dogs for walks. I work from home a lot too so happy to dog sit during the day. I work from home three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and am also available at weekends for dog sitting or boarding. I can take the dogs out before work, during my lunch break and after work also, as well as keeping them company during the day from home. I have a fenced garden and live right next to plenty of fields so am very conveniently located for walks too! I live in a house with my partner and we both work from home a lot.
About: What you can expect: • A safe, calm, and loving environment • I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods • Regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day • Care tailored to your dog’s routine and needs • Updates and photos so you always feel reassured • A reliable and responsible sitter you can trust I’m free on the weekends and working from home twice a week. I love spending time outside so happy to do multiple walkies a day. I currently live in a one bedroom flat so I could only take dogs that wouldn’t mind staying inside the flat. Would go for as many walks/ pee breaks as needed even during the night.
“Simone was great from the beginning until the end. She looked after our dog for a week while we were away and kept us informed every day with messages and photos. She administered all the daily medicines our dog needed without an issue. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We will definitely use her services again if we need to in the future. Thanks Simone!”
“Karla was brilliant with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Rowdy. She kept us updated on how Rowdy was settling in, cared for her every need and was lovely to deal with. It’s clear that Karla and her partner love dogs and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 10/10”
About: I have had three dogs since I was a child, and have always loved looking after, walking and caring for my dogs. As I am now away from home, I would love to spend time dogs again as I miss it so much! I have just finished studying at university and am only working part time so have some free time to help you out! Have always loved dogs so would be a pleasure to look after your dog for the day. I will ensure your dogs is never out of sight and remains on the lead when suitable. I will happily discuss with you you’re own preference on where you’ll like them to be walked.
