Highlights
Pet care experience
Insured & Professional Pet Services
Zoology and Animal Behaviour Degree, First Aid and DBS checked. Finding someone to care for your pet when you can't is always a worry, as a dog and cat owner myself I can thoroughly relate and I offer services tailored to you and your pets' routine. I have been caring for clients, friends and family's pets for over seven years now, this includes: dogs, cats, small furies and reptiles. Having historically worked in a animal rescue, I'm pretty certain I've seen it all, from caring and raising new-born pups to providing palliative care for special seniors, administering medications and dealing with reactivity. At the moment, I work part time for a charity and fill the rest of my time doing what I love, which includes a lot of dog related activities. I travel the UK to raise awareness of the vulnerable native dogs breeds in the UK and compete at Crufts annually both to show and take part in Discover Dogs, in addition to other kennel club schemes. I have often had dogs come to stay and they always thoroughly enjoy a trip to our family farm where they can run through acres of grass and woodland or take a paddle in the lake.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Beth asked many detailed questions to get to know our dogs. On time pickup at reasonable cost. Great communication during the stay of the dogs. Beth’s able to look after the senior dog and the young and energetic one. That was the most importsnt to us.
Great communication and the girls loved their walks with Beth! Definitely will book her again in the future
Beth was wonderful. She looked after our dog, Suki, for a week, taking her for 2 good long walks a day. The walks were varied so as to be interesting and different for Suki. Beth is very friendly, accommodating and extremely professional. She was always punctual, arriving when she said she would, and she also helped with Suki's ear cleans, which my mum had never done before. We were very happy with Beth, and happily recommend her to anyone who require dog walking in the Cranbrook/Hawkhurst and surrounding area.
Beth H has looked after my dogs and my cat when I have been away for a number of years. She has always been punctual, reliable and honest. Most importantly she is amazing with all of them from our puppy, through to our elderly dog who requires special attention and medication on a daily basis. She understands the individual needs of each dog She is also capable of following complex lists whilst we are away and of using her initiative. I trust Beth with my animals, the dogs love seeing her and enjoy her walks. I really appreciate the updates and the wonderful photos that I get of the dogs while we are away. I know that they are in the best hands. We couldn't do without her.
Niki and Beth walked our German Shepherd x Alaskan Malamute rescue for us when needed and dog/house sat when we were away. It takes a lot of trust to put your dog/house in somebody else’s care, but we have no qualms about Niki and Beth looking after dog and home. Both are completely reliable and trustworthy. We subsequently adopted a very strong, very reactive German Shepherd that was a real challenge to walk, particularly in a locale like ours with busy main roads, unpaved village roads and country lanes, and lots of dogs, cats etc. Niki came to the rescue when the challenge resulted in my hurting my back. Other than my wife and myself, Niki was the only other person to walk this particular dog, which he did calmly and always in good spirits. Believe me, anybody who could walk that particular dog (loving and trusting at home, but anxious/reactive and challenging beyond the front gate) in a public place is likely capable of walking any dog. After that, I reckon Niki could walk any dog that we’re likely to adopt/foster. We’ve now adopted a further German Shepherd. Thankfully easier than the previous one. We’ve already had Niki dog/house sit for her, and would have no worries recommending him and Beth to others needing walking/sitting services.

I am completely flexible and happy to work around you and your pet's needs by adjusting my schedule to fit your pet's routine. My house is a calm environment, I like to tire dogs out on walks and with stimulation in the home to that they are happy and satisfied to minimise stress.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have fenced garden and offer supervised outdoor playtime or sunbathing (weather/heat permitting). We have set meal times and my dogs are fantastic at calming any nervous individuals with their happy-go-lucky attitudes and love having other dogs come to stay and walk with. In any emergency our vets is just down the road.
Pets
A typical day
On a typical day we wakeup and do breakfast then once we've all had some time to digest we head out for our morning walk, this will often be through the woods, along a beach or a special trip to our family farm. Once we've done all the sniffing and ball throwing or pottering we want, we head back home for an afternoon rest, ready to set out again in the evening. Dinner time is usually around 6PM.
