“Zoe was able to walk my dog last minute as I had to leave him at home unexpectedly. He is a bit of an anxious dog and Zoe took the time to let him get comfortable with her and sent me written updates and pictures :)”


2. Graham H.
“I have known Graham for over 30 years, during which time he has owned 3 well-trained dogs. He is loving and diligent in his care and I have no hesitation in recommending him to take care of your pets.”

5. Kieren M.

“Benny had a great walk with Kieren. She made sure to meet him before hand and got on so well. Kieren asked all relevant questions she needed to know about him and kept me updated before and after the walk. We will for sure be using her services again.”

About: I started looking after my neighbours 2 dogs, a boarder collie and a smaller breed dog! I would walk them twice a day all through the fields and rivers playing with lots of toys, I would do visits to play with them and to spent time with them in the garden, feed them, take them out, wash them off after muddy walks and make sure they always had everything they needed, I did this for about 6-7 months until I moved house, I now have my own dog who is a 1 year old german shepherd who is my full responsibility! I'm currently not working at all, so I have lots of time on my hands to help out others with there pets, I'm available most time of the day and pretty flexible! I have a German shepherd who loves to play with other bigger dogs!! A large garden with tall fences and lots of room to play

“Charlotte stepped in last minute to walk my puppy due to work issues, she communicated well, was easy to talk to and gave decent information regarding the walk, also including photos. Very happy with her service.”


8. Ashleigh W.
About: I have looked after dogs and cats within my home for around 10 years now. I have a lovely large garden for the pets to be able to run around in. All animals are welcome on the sofas and beds. We have some lovely walking routes a short walk away. I have 4 and 7 year old daughters, so all dogs must be child friendly. If you have any questions please ask. I have experience with dogs who aren’t friendly towards males, or other animals, so I am happy to accept dogs with these behaviours. I am free most days and evenings. I am only out of the house for school runs in the morning and afternoons. All dogs are welcome to do the school runs with me. I have a large one-sided fenced garden and I’m happy to sit and snuggle with your beautiful animals also. I am happy to feed, basic training can be given.


9. Danielle F.
About: I’ve looked after animals, my own and friends, for 10 years now. Nothing beats opening the door to see them waiting on the other side. No animal is too difficult for me and I will accommodate their needs wholeheartedly I’m currently working from home the majority of the time so I can very easily fit looking after your furry friends into my weekly schedule. Animals are part of the family. If you have specific care requirements for your furry friends I will happily oblige to ensure you feel you have left them in safe hands.


10. Favier B.
“A very friendly and trustworthy individual. Couldn’t ask for anyone better when it comes to caring for my dog. She takes the time to get to know your dog, including what they do/don’t like. Favier can care for my dog any time!”


11. Julie P.
“Julie has been a lover of dogs all her life. I have personally known her as the owner of 3 dogs. During that time she has regularly looked after my own dogs whilst I have been away on holiday or stepping in at short notice in times of a family illness or medical emergency to take over the care of them. They always return healthy and happy. I would recommend Julie to anyone who is looking for someone to look after and care for their dogs as if they were her own.”


12. Annie B.
“All you could want from a dog walking service. Annie is very dedicated, professional and above all, she really loves dogs and our dog loves her.”


13. Brooke D.
“We refer to Brooke as our dog nanny! She has an amazing affinity with them. 3 of our 4 dogs are rescue dogs and they don’t click with every one . They love Brooke and are very relaxed in her company. This gives us huge peace of mind when we are away. She’s an amazing pet sitter.”


14. Claire C.
“I'd recommend Claire as a dog sitter. We went on holiday for ten days and she made Buddy, our Border Collie, a lovely part of her family while we were away. Putting up with his excited barking on car trips. Having lovely walks at Ham Hill, Sampsons Wood and bridal paths. Would defintely use again!”


15. Rachel S.
“Rachel has been brilliant with our pup. When we first got our puppy we booked Rachel in to do afternoon visits to make sure he was okay when left at home. When he was old enough to go out for walks, Rachel worked closely with us to ensure that he wasn’t over doing it. Rachel has been a key part in his training as well. She has worked with us on recall, off lead walking as well as training inside the home. What’s great is that Rachel doesn’t just take him for a walk round near the house, she takes him to places such as Montacute and Ham Hill which is amazing and I know he enjoys it thoroughly. Our dog always gets left with a treat which is just a lovely added touch. We get sent regular photos and videos so we can see what they get up to which really does brighten our day when we’re at work. Throughout the puppy stage Rachel has helped us in suggesting things that we can do/buy to stop him destroying the house and keeping him safe when he’s at home alone. I’ve always recommended Rachel to other dog owners and will continue to do so. Our dog absolutely loves Rachel and she is definitely a highlight to his day. We love you and so does Ted 🐾”


16. Sammy E.

“I contacted Sammy only a day before to see if she could look after our dog Maisie as we’d been let down last minute . She went over and beyond to accommodate us, she was efficient, lovely with Maisie and I’d thoroughly recommend her. Thank you so much!!”


17. Alannya B.
“5* !! Alannya looked after our Cocker Spaniel Reggie for a week at the end of our holiday. We had another sitter before her that was awful and let us down a lot, so we were hopeful when it was Allanya’s turn. Luckily for us she was fantastic. She had been round for a visit before hand so we knew we liked her. She messaged my wife’s mum with any questions or issues she had which let us be worry free for the last bit of our trip which was hugely appreciated. She clearly took great care of Reggie and was very professional. I believe she stayed in with him for a huge amount of the time which was really reassuring for us as Reggie loves cuddles and company. We got some photos and updates too. We would highly highly recommend Allanyah into anyone that needs a sitter and is a little nervous about leaving their pet for a long ish period.”


18. Imogen W.
“Imogen has cared for our two collies and our cat several times. They all adore her, and she has great empathy with them all! She loves to walk them, and look after them, but loves best of all to just hang out with them. I thoroughly recommend Imogen as a house and pet sitter to any animal lovers wanting a safe and loving stand-in while they get away for a while.”


19. Kai S.

“I would definitely recommend Kai”


20. Estelle S.
About: I have grown up with pets all my life and currently have two dogs, a rabbit and axolotl and lots of fish! I have experience walking and looking after multiple dogs simultaneously and am very proficient in training techniques and more than able to provide any specific care requirements. I have looked after dogs of all breeds and ages as well as being able to manage dogs with all kinds of behavioural traits. I have a full clean driving licence so am able to travel to and from clients houses with ease. I would be honoured to spend time with your fury friends and shower them with love and affection. I know that many people may also have other pets! I have fish and a rabbit so I am also well versed in the care requirements for other fury friends and creatures! I work 5 days a week and have Wednesdays and Sundays off. I am available early morning and evening between 7-10. I am able to check in on pets in my lunch break and stay overnight at the clients house if required. I drive so I can travel out of central Brighton if necessary. I would preferably travel to the owners home as I live in a rented flat that doesn’t allow pets. I am able to travel to the owners house.
