“Bethany and James are a wonderful! They took amazing care of Bramble over our summer holidays. She’s an excitable young pup and they cared for her with love and experience. Their place is perfectly set up for dogs. Communication is first class - with regular pics and anecdotes. Bramble was treated to days out and new experiences on her ‘holiday’. I would recommend without hesitation and will 100% go back to them for future holiday boarding. It really was a home from home for Bramble which made our holidays completely relaxing too.”
“Another wonderful home-from-home sleepover with Freddie :-). He loves snuggles & being WITH you ( if you know you know🤣) so having Kathleen pander/ treat him the way he wants is such a blessing for us doggie parents. 10 out of 10 service :-)”
“Ray was so happy at Alicia’s house. He stayed for 10 days and I felt completely confident and reassured the whole time. Alicia sent daily updates and was flexible and understanding of his needs as an older dog. I’d really recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding. Thank you Alicia xx”
“Seems unfair to only leave a 5star review as this was the most pleasant experience thus far. Elizabeth’s home is so welcoming and oh so lovely. Stunning garden, great location with a woodland walk just steps away. From the moment we all met, we all just felt at home and our doggies bonded very quickly. Thanks so much for taking great care of our doggies, i was worried they wouldnt want to leave your home. We would very happily look to you again when we need to arrange boarding. Thank you for washing the bedding and food pots totally unexpected and the dogs looked fresh too.”
“I had a wonderful experience leaving my dog Flo with Joanna for one week while I was abroad. Joanna was patient, caring, and sent regular photos and feedback every day. I felt totally at ease and will use Joanna's service regularly throughout the year. Highly recommended! What I Loved: Daily updates with cute photos; Kind and patient care for Flo; Great communication while I was away; and Total peace of mind on my trip Future Plans: Will book again very soon for daily care and overnight stays; and I Plan to use Joanna's service regularly all year”
“Daniel and Alida looked after Mole beautifully while we were away. We got messages, pictures and videos every day showing how much fun Mole was having. He really enjoyed having their French Bulldog George to play with too. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to have Mole again.”
“This was the first time Milo stayed with someone new, Frankie, kept us updated with his progress and pictures. We will definitely look to be using Frankie again the near future ☺️”
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“Sophia could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. She released really sensitive and responsive to Lincoln’s needs (he is almost blind) and made us feel totally relaxed that he was happy and in good hands. Would 100% recommend and hope to use again! Thank you Sophia”
“Rio spent just over a week with Natasha and her family and had a great time! He was well looked after and cared for and I received updates and photos throughout the time to help put my mind at rest. This was his first time away and I think he was unsettled initially but soon settled in and didn’t rush to the door to come home when we collected him! Would definitely use again and would recommend to others. Thank you!”
“Natalie was wonderful with our dog, and her gentle giant Zeke is a equally wonderful. She came fully stocked with toys, which our dog proceeded to destroy, and he was very quickly at ease with Natalie. Highly recommend!”
“Ricky and gang looked after Emmy (small blue Staffy) this week. Ricky was great with communication and both his dogs were great with our’s. Emmy likes to play and can also be very chilled and Ricky’s dogs were perfect energy and also not too much as it was a new environment for our’s. We were wanting someone that had other dogs so our’s had some company when we were away and they got on like a house on fire. Emmy was sad to leave so looking forward to the next booking / hangout time. Massive thanks you to Ricky and the gang.”
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
“Our Yorkshire terrier could not have been more looked after! I think he had a better time then we did on holiday and really got on with the sitters dog. Steve and his wife were so lovely and welcoming and kept us updated throughout the stay. We would have no hesitation rebooking !”
“Rachel is incredible- she looked after our Dachshund so well.. Rachel is an animal lover and that radiates off her; my dog warmed to Rachel instantly- which was so comforting and reassuring. I highly recommend Rachel; she is professional, kind and very knowledgeable in pet care. When I fetched my dog after our holiday- he was happy and looked like he had - had a good holiday himself!! Rachel sent daily updates of my dear dog daily…. Which was very nice to receive as our dog is very much part of the family and we missed him so much but Rachel’s amazing care put us at ease.”
“Thank you so very much for looking after Toffee & Winnie It was so comforting to have you look after both our special furry babies. Absolutely perfect care! Very intuitive-Max knew exactly what to do with both the dogs and got the balance of care fantastically A massive heart felt thanks to you both. Max for actually being in charge. You are a special couple!”
“Highly recommend! Despite booking this visit at short notice, Jake was extremely quick to respond. Leah was fabulous and obviously cared immensely about taking the best care of Oggy. He had a great time and I was updated very regularly with lovely pictures and videos. Oggy can’t wait to go back and stay there again!”

“This was our first time using cat in a flat and it was a great experience. Leah stepped in at the last minute, and was amazing. We have four rescue cats who can be wary of new people, but they really took to her. Leah provided regular updates and photos, and we came back to a very happy brood. We would highly recommend her. ”
“Vicky has been absolutely amazing in caring for my cats while I was away. She kept me up to date with lots of photos and videos and really got to know each cat's character! I would happily recommend her to others, she is extremely professional and caring.”
“Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.”
“Couldn’t have asked for more. Shaunna went above and beyond to make sure I had updates on boots even doing an extra check in when he was out exploring during the visit time. Boots was very well looked after and I returned to a happy puss 🐈”
“Natasha was looking after my cats while I was gone for a few days to visit a friend. She was really good at communicating and my cats were very well looked after 💕 i would highly recommend her services”
“I feel so lucky to have found Judy. She took such good care of my 2 cats and home that I was able to get on and enjoy my holiday without worrying about them. Cannot recommend Judy highly enough and I'm really grateful to her. ”
About: Since I was a child I have grown up surrounded by cats. We got our first family cat when I was born, so we grew up together and had such a close bond. I love to spend time with cats as they bring me such a feeling of comfort and calmness. I have two cats at home, who I love very much. Luna is a very fluffy Maine coon/ragdoll and Flo is a black short haired cat. My childhood cat had kittens so I have lots of experience in looking after kittens and of course cleaned out many litter trays too! I am also confident in administering medication. I would be happy to pop in to feed or check in on your cat, and I would love to keep them company if they would like any.

“Thank you so much Sophia for your care of Aleta. She obviously loved every minute of her time with you and I was so grateful when I was unable to return as expected and you looked after her for much longer. I would highly recommend Sophia.”
“I picked Brenna because she lives locally, but have really lucked out. I adopted Suri - a retired racer geyground - two weeks ago and we are still establishing our rhythms. It is obvious Brenna has a huge amount of patience and love for dogs and I feel confident leaving Suri in her care. It’s been nice getting the updates through the Rover app on what they’ve been up to. It’s been nice seeing them bond with each visit. Would recommend Brenna 100%”
“Kiran popped in and did a house visit for Bob and even offered to come round and meet him first. I was kept well updated and Amy’s communication was brilliant too. Will definitely be booking again when needed”
“As ever, Amy was a wonderful sitter. And a perfect houseguest. Pretty sure it was tidier coming back to than when we left! His Highness wasn't at all bothered about us being away. Which shows how happy he was. Cannot recommend Amy enough, especially if you are nervous when going away and leaving the boss/es.”

“Thank you Philippa for taking such good care of my whippet. He was happy and relaxed when I came to collect him. And I loved the picture updates. I felt reassured he was well looked after whilst he was with you. Hopefully see you again!”
“Juni had a fantastic time with Alida, Daniel and George! I felt really confident leaving her in their care, they kept me updated throughout the day and were accommodating and flexible too. Huge thank you!”
“Bill is absolutely amazing. Has a lovely calm presence that makes you feel really confident leaving your dog with him. Poppy has such a great time when she’s there and he really pays attention to her needs and wants which is all you can ask for! Would highly recommend!”
“So grateful to Ricky and his pups for spending the day with Pablo at the last minute. Ricky has fantastic calm energy that made Pablo feel instantly comfortable, and gave us confidence that he was in great hands.”
“Elizabeth has a great space for looking after dogs. Our dog Violet settled easily and was very happy when we picked her up and had clearly had a good play as she fell asleep right after we picked her up. Thanks so much, if we ever need a dog sitter in the area again we'll definitely look you up.”
“Joanna was absolute life saver and accepted a last minute booking to look after Reggie. We all immediately felt at ease as she greeted Reggie calmly and obviously understood dogs really well. She took care to ask questions about him before we left and it was clear reggie was going to have a lovely day. We got lots of lovely pics of him lording it on the bed and lying in the garden. He was obviously calm and happy when I picked him up. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I got my own at age 6, regularly petsitting for neighbours and friends from age 13. I also volunteered several days a week at an animal shelter for four years, so I've had lots of experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, ages, and needs. I have a rescue lab mix of my own now, who’s always looking for a new friend. I work 100% remote with a flexible schedule so I’m easily able to fit my day around any dog’s routine. I’m familiar with dogs’ typical needs as I take care of my own! I'm happy to follow whatever routine your dog is used to in your home, and can adapt to your dog's specific needs and preferences. I'll communicate with you on a regular basis so you know your dog is doing well.
About: We are a retired couple with our own young male golden retriever who have plenty of time on our hands to look after your pet & pamper him or her. Toby our goldie gets on well with all dogs. Before our present dog we had a very lovable goldie called Sam for 14.5 years. We really enjoy walks in the woods and on the beaches . We have a small enclosed secure garden for playing games with our dog and any visitor. We do 3 walks a day with Toby, morning, around lunchtime and evening. All in all we are pretty sure your pet will have an enjoyable time with us and will be most welcome. Having our own dog pet care is primary in everything we do on a day to day basis. From morning till night Toby & any other dog is our priority. Toby has a very secure environment, a safe enclosed garden, when it's hot the house is cool especially where we have tiles. There are plenty of walks in the area.
“Great response and communication, arlos first time today being with someone he doesn’t know and by the looks of things he really enjoyed it, definitely book again😄”
“We were very confident in leaving our nervous whippet with Amy and Kiran for the afternoon. They were friendly and capable, clearly love dogs and were brilliant with Muguet. Highly recommended.”
“These guys were brilliant with our dog. Really went out of their way to help our dog get settled, met beforehand to check the dogs got on, and walked to the house together too on the day again to help our dog settle. Definitely recommend them :)”
“Both Leslie and Max are brilliant pet sitters. They look after Hudson as if he was their own dog and he loves spending time with Sage as well. Would definitely recommend their services.”
“I've never felt so at ease so fast with people looking after our lovely friendly Elsie. The love and care is so visible across all our messages, in person interactions and the lovely photos Bethany shared of Elsie spending the day at their home. Elsie was, unsurprisingly, livid at me taking her home. I look forward to Elsie's future visits ❤️”
“Jordie has looked after my whippet Bailey twice now and taken great care of him. Jordie is friendly, welcoming and understanding of dogs' needs. Bailey has returned both times very happy and calm and I'm more than happy for him to stay with Jordie again. Thanks.”

About: I’m an experienced pet/house sitter, having looked after everything from blind toy poodles to escape artist hamsters in their homes - including managing baths, medication and vet visits. I grew up with beautiful energetic dogs and affectionate cats, and adore spending time with animals. I have a slew of friends’ dogs for who I’m the go-to person for overnight stays and walks, and like to get close to the pets I look after. I’ll always follow your instructions for your pet to the letter (but will have a sweet spot for dogs that are allowed cuddles with me on the sofa 🙂) I am currently not working and so can be very attentive to your pet. I am very flexible about timings (pick ups, drop offs, arrivals), walking times and duration of care. I have a car (although it has a closed boot so can only carry dogs on the back seat) I like pet sitting in the animal’s own home as it puts them at ease and smooths the discomfort that can come from being looked after by a new person If you prefer them at my place, my basement flat has a very safe walled garden, but I also have access to a beautiful park-like communal garden, and the park and seafront are 5 mins from my flat.
“Shaunna was fantastic with Luna! She arrived on time, was super friendly, and took her to doggy splash, which Luna absolutely loved. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend Shaunna to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I've grown up looking after many types of animals at home including dogs, cats, rabbits and even chickens! I have been charge of feeding, washing, walking and offering basic training to my dogs. I’m a part time bar worker so can often fit your pups around my schedule. I have a car so getting around will be easy :) I look forward to working with you and your pooches needs to make sure they stay safe both in and outside of your home. If your dog has any allergies or tendencies to chew I'll keep a close eye on them and give then back to you, tails wagging.
“Sophia is amazing! It was our first time leaving our Tamaskan Leo so we were a bit nervous but Sophia was very reassuring and with the daily updates and photos on walks we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing he was having a great time. Thank You Sophia!!!!!!!”
“Brenna is brilliant. I feel very comfortable know Suri is in good hands. I trust Brenna to have a set of my keys and to respect my house and Suri’s needs. I really love getting the updates of what they’ve been up to”
“I can’t recommend Natasha enough! They are incredibly consistent and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m working. My dog absolutely loves their walks, and I love knowing I can rely on them 100%. Five stars!”
About: I've had dogs around me for most of my life. From puppies to senior dogs, Chihuahuas to German Shepherds, I've looked after them all. Having my own dog means I understand the responsibility, routine and emotional needs pets have. My dog is friendly and playful, but also loves lazing around the house. To keep all dogs safe and happy during their stay, I’m licensed to board dogs under Rother District Council and need to follow a few simple requirements. (Licence number 35921) All dogs should be fully vaccinated, up to date with flea and worming treatments, and have had the kennel cough vaccine. I’ll also need to see proof of this, as part of my licensing conditions. For everyone’s safety, dogs must also be microchipped. Thank you for your understanding — it helps ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all our furry guests! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I'm at home most days, and with my flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give pets attention, care and affection they need. I live with my partner and we have four children age 8 to 10 who are gentle and love animals, so pets get lots of playtime and companionship, although I will be the care taker of your dog. Whether pets are in my home or their owners, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. In my home, I have a pet-friendly environment with space to play and rest. I follow the pets usual routine as closely as possible - this includes feeding schedules, walks and any special care they need. I also make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I am DBS checked and have public liability insurance.
“Amy was lovely & friendly. CúSí took to her straight away. She came well prepared for walking with bags, water and a pop up bowl. She was flexible in changing the walk time to an earlier one due to hot weather. CúSí came home chilled and happy after an hour's walking. I'd definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a dog walker and I have no doubt she'd also excel at pet sitting services too.”
“Robert has been so good with walking my dog Diesel, other dog walker have cancelled because he can be alot of work, but Robert has really adapted to work with diesel to ensure he gets the care needed.”
About: I have a lovely senior dog of my own, a rescue that I have had for 10 years. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have also worked with horses at a horse riding school. I love animals and I have lots of experience in caring for them. Im a tattooist/creative and I’m currently working on a creative writing project at home so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of work schedule and location. I will be offering caring for your pets in your own home, visits in your own home or walks. I have worked in hospitality for over ten years while I was studying social work, now I’m a social worker but I’m taking time off while I do some writing. I will take care of your home just like I would take care of the venue at my hospitality jobs. I would be happy to keep your pet company while you’re at work or away, I can take them for lots of walks or minimal walks depending on their age, and I can give them lots of cuddles! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
About: Hi! I’m Truly – a proud Cane Corso mum to a 2-year-old gentle giant. I understand how hard it is to trust someone with your dog, especially if they’re large, strong, or have specific needs. I’ve been around animals my entire life — from raising Rottweilers and French Bulldogs to caring for my current Cane Corso, and working with breeds like Vizslas, Collies, Spaniels, and Poodle mixes. I don’t just love dogs, I understand them. I also had a senior Chihuahua who lived a full, happy life until the age of 22, so I understand the special care and patience required for older pets as well. What truly sets me apart is my experience with large and working breeds, my deep respect for each dog’s individuality, and my calm, confident handling style. I studied Equine Management at Plumpton College and worked on a horse yard from age 13, so early mornings, physical care, and hard work in all weathers are second nature to me. I offer reliable, structured care with a ton of love and attention because I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. I’m also happy to accommodate raw feeding routines, special diets, or behaviour goals you’re working on. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while your dog’s in my care, whether it’s a walk, pop-in, or overnight stay. Let’s set up a meet & greet and find the best routine for your pup! I can’t wait to welcome them. Please note: For safety reasons, I do not offer overnight stays. However, I’m happy to stay late into the evenings and arrive back early in the mornings to provide your pets with lots of love, companionship, and care throughout the day. Animals have always been at the heart of my daily life. I currently care for my Cane Corso and horse alongside my work, so early mornings, structured walks, feeding routines, and quality time with animals are just part of my normal rhythm. Whether it’s rain or shine, I’m used to planning my day around their needs, it’s second nature! My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, and I make sure every pet I look after gets the same level of commitment and love as my own. I don’t offer day care in my home as I have a dog of my own, but I’m happy to help with walking, drop-ins, or daytime house sitting at your place! If I’m in your home, I work to mirror your routine exactly, so your dog feels comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I always prioritise clear communication, updates, and consistency in care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs from a young age and have five years of personal experience as a proud co-dog owner. I am confident and experienced with a wide variety of breeds — from tiny Chihuahuas and playful French Bulldogs to energetic Whippets and strong Rottweilers. No matter the size or personality, I will truly love and welcome every dog as if they were my own. I currently work full-time; however, since I live on-site I am always around, the little pooch can join me or take some rest! , I have plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pups. I offer boarding seven days a week at any time. One of the best parts of where I live is the beautiful woodland walk right on our doorstep, as well as acres of open land — perfect for daily walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise. I can’t wait to welcome your dog into a safe, loving, and fun environment. I have a partially secure outdoor area where your dog can safely enjoy some playtime, as well as beautiful woodland surroundings that are perfect for daily walks and adventures. I co-own my own dog — my little princess — who currently lives with her other parent full-time, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give to your furry friends. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pup and make them feel right at home.
About: Loving family which have always had pets. We are a family of dog lovers! Currently we own a beautiful 3 year old dog called Belle. In addition, we have 3 cats and a Gargoyle Gecko. All of our pets are loving cared for in our large family home and gardens. No expense is spared in ensuring our pets have an enriching and happy life. We live in a large 7 bedroom house in a quiet close in Hastings. The large house means that our children and fur babies all have their own space when needed. Our secure garden is available all day as well as visits to local parks, woods and seaside. We also have an annual subscription to Bedgebury Pinetum, which we usually attend at weekends. I (Ross) am a headteacher and my wife is a teacher. Because of this, we cherish the weekends and school holidays together with our children and fur-babies. These times are spent with dog walks, play parks and family time. Our pets are an important addition to this. We will be accepting bookings during school holidays and weekends only. During these times we can dedicate our time to ensuring your pet has the best time possible. If requested, we can send you regular photo updates of how your dog is getting on and what they have been up to! Large double fenced back garden. Secured front access to property, protected by Ring Security. Our animals are well loved by all family members. We take into account their physical and mental well being.
About: Hi, I’m Leah, and pictured with me is my beloved Miniature Pinscher, Lilly, who sadly passed away in November. Dogs have been at the center of my life since the day I was born, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up in Ireland, our home was always filled with animals, and that lifelong passion eventually grew into professional dog boarding and pet care. After losing Lilly, opening our home in Bexhill to dogs has become a deeply meaningful way for me to continue doing what I love most — providing a safe, calm, loving, and enriching environment for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience raising dogs from birth and professionally managed a daily dog boarding business in Ireland from the age of 18. Over the past year, I have also worked alongside a highly rated professional pet sitter, helping manage a wide range of sits involving everything from young puppies to senior dogs with complex medical and behavioural needs. I am confident caring for: * Puppies requiring structure, routine, and positive reinforcement * Senior dogs needing patience, gentle handling, and medication administration * Dogs with separation anxiety or reactivity * Large and powerful breeds, as well as small and delicate companions Throughout my life, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of breeds, including Jack Russells, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Toy Poodles, a German Shepherd, an Alaskan Malamute, and Lilly, my Miniature Pinscher. I also helped raise three generations of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, giving me extensive experience with dogs through every stage of life. One thing owners quickly notice about me is how much pride I take in creating a clean, calm, and welcoming environment. I’m an incredibly homely person and genuinely enjoy maintaining an organised and immaculate space, whether dogs are staying in our home or I’m caring for them in yours. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust completely, and I treat every home and animal with the utmost respect and care. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable. I provide reliable communication, daily updates, and plenty of photos and videos so you can fully relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like family. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and discuss how I can help provide the best possible care while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of time, attention, companionship, and structure throughout the day. I’m highly flexible with my availability and can accommodate boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, and house sitting depending on your needs. Because I genuinely love having dogs around, your pet will never simply be “fit in” around my schedule — their comfort, routine, exercise, and wellbeing will always be a priority. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or prefers a quieter, calm environment, I’m very happy to adapt to what suits them best. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is the most important part of pet care for me. I understand that every dog is different, so I always take time to learn their routines, boundaries, personality, and individual needs to help them feel secure and comfortable. My home in Bexhill is clean, peaceful, and highly organised, with plenty of attention, affection, play, rest, and supervision throughout the day. I am extremely attentive when it comes to safety during walks, feeding, medication administration, introductions, and maintaining routines exactly as owners request. I have a fenced Italian stone garden with access to the seafront and cooler woodland walks and open field space. My car has a dog seat for smaller breeds, and safety buckle leads to ensure their security while travelling in my car. I also have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and pets with medical needs, so I’m confident adapting to more complex care requirements when needed. If caring for your pet in your own home, I will always treat your space with complete respect and maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, communication, and reliability. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for while you’re apart.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was just 3 years old and I absolutely adore them. I’ve always had a family dog and currently have a 12 year old dog who has experienced a number of health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable giving daily medication and providing extra care and attention when needed. I’m reliable, caring and patient, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s an exciting walk, a drop-in visit for some company and cuddles, or simply making sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away, I’ll always make their wellbeing my priority. I live with my partner and we’re both huge dog lovers, so dogs are always made to feel welcome and loved. I currently have a very flexible schedule as have time away from work, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and would love the company of some furry friends. I’m particularly flexible during the day at the moment, making it easy for me to fit around your dog’s individual routine and needs. When I return to work, I work from home two days a week and have good availability at weekends. On the three days I’m in the office, I finish at 4pm, so I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins. I’m happy to work around your schedule wherever I can and will always make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, happy and comfortable. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive and always take the time to get to know each dog, their quirks and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. I’m experienced in caring for an older dog with ongoing health issues and giving daily medication, so I’m comfortable providing extra care when needed. For walks, I always prioritise safety and keep dogs secure and supervised, while making sure they have plenty of time to explore, sniff and enjoy themselves. During drop-in visits, I’ll provide lots of attention, cuddles and companionship, as well as making sure they have everything they need before I leave.

“Another wonderful home-from-home sleepover with Freddie :-). He loves snuggles & being WITH you ( if you know you know🤣) so having Kathleen pander/ treat him the way he wants is such a blessing for us doggie parents. 10 out of 10 service :-)”
“Ray was so happy at Alicia’s house. He stayed for 10 days and I felt completely confident and reassured the whole time. Alicia sent daily updates and was flexible and understanding of his needs as an older dog. I’d really recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding. Thank you Alicia xx”
“Daniel and Alida looked after Mole beautifully while we were away. We got messages, pictures and videos every day showing how much fun Mole was having. He really enjoyed having their French Bulldog George to play with too. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to have Mole again.”
“This was the first time Milo stayed with someone new, Frankie, kept us updated with his progress and pictures. We will definitely look to be using Frankie again the near future ☺️”
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“Rio spent just over a week with Natasha and her family and had a great time! He was well looked after and cared for and I received updates and photos throughout the time to help put my mind at rest. This was his first time away and I think he was unsettled initially but soon settled in and didn’t rush to the door to come home when we collected him! Would definitely use again and would recommend to others. Thank you!”
“Natalie was wonderful with our dog, and her gentle giant Zeke is a equally wonderful. She came fully stocked with toys, which our dog proceeded to destroy, and he was very quickly at ease with Natalie. Highly recommend!”
“Ricky and gang looked after Emmy (small blue Staffy) this week. Ricky was great with communication and both his dogs were great with our’s. Emmy likes to play and can also be very chilled and Ricky’s dogs were perfect energy and also not too much as it was a new environment for our’s. We were wanting someone that had other dogs so our’s had some company when we were away and they got on like a house on fire. Emmy was sad to leave so looking forward to the next booking / hangout time. Massive thanks you to Ricky and the gang.”
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
“Rachel is incredible- she looked after our Dachshund so well.. Rachel is an animal lover and that radiates off her; my dog warmed to Rachel instantly- which was so comforting and reassuring. I highly recommend Rachel; she is professional, kind and very knowledgeable in pet care. When I fetched my dog after our holiday- he was happy and looked like he had - had a good holiday himself!! Rachel sent daily updates of my dear dog daily…. Which was very nice to receive as our dog is very much part of the family and we missed him so much but Rachel’s amazing care put us at ease.”
“Thank you so very much for looking after Toffee & Winnie It was so comforting to have you look after both our special furry babies. Absolutely perfect care! Very intuitive-Max knew exactly what to do with both the dogs and got the balance of care fantastically A massive heart felt thanks to you both. Max for actually being in charge. You are a special couple!”
“Highly recommend! Despite booking this visit at short notice, Jake was extremely quick to respond. Leah was fabulous and obviously cared immensely about taking the best care of Oggy. He had a great time and I was updated very regularly with lovely pictures and videos. Oggy can’t wait to go back and stay there again!”

We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Bethany & Chad were outstanding with our two pets! Right from the moment we did our meet & greet, we knew they would take such good care of our dog & cat which they absolutely did. Beyond the exceptional care they took, it was evident they genuinely enjoyed their time with the pets & that made us so happy. From the photos & videos to the sweetest gesture of Christmas presents for both pets, we cannot say enough wonderful things about Bethany & Chad. Our sincerest & heartfelt thank you for taking such good care of them, we are beyond grateful.”
