Pet care experience
Caring Dog Sitter in Kent!🐶
We’re all about genuine care, calm energy, and consistency. We’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from bouncy pups to older dogs who just want a cuddle and a calm walk. We understand how much trust goes into letting someone care for your pet, and we take that seriously. We bring strong communication, loads of patience, and a flexible, positive approach - plus regular photo updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Think of us as an extension of your care, not a replacement. When you book me, you also get my partner who is a super fit exercise lover who loves running & all things fitness. If you have a dog that needs more vigorous exercise let me know and I’m sure he would love to take them on a run! He is a teacher & so has weekday availability in half terms & over summer. We are both animal lovers who have always had family pets and are known for taking our family & friends’ pets out for walks and spending time giving them cuddles! We have been sitting on Rover for a while now, and now we have our own home want to open it up to board doggies at our place now 🫶

Ratings and reviews
Katie and Charlie, thank you so much for looking after our dog,Lucy. The communication was excellent and the care was 1st class. I highly recommend this couple. Katie and Charlie are both warm, calm people who I would use again when the need arises.
I can’t put into words how happy I am that my dogs stayed with Katie and Charlie. My cockapoo can be quite anxious and it was the first time she had been left and combined with my 14 year old stubborn Shitzu I was a bit worried. Katie and Charlie were amazing with them both. I had regular photo updates and could see they settled in really quickly and were having the best time. Katie and Charlie are lovely - really calm and it’s clear how much they both love dogs. My dogs had the best holiday with them and I would recommend them to everyone- I will certainly holiday my dogs with them again. Thank you Katie and Charlie
Katie and her partner did an amazing job of taking care of our puppy. It was his first time away from home and he loved staying with them. We received photo updates and timely communication. Thank you so much.
Our dog had a great day with Katie. She sent regular updates and photos and our dog seemed very relaxed and like he had a fab day - I’m not sure he wanted to leave! Thanks so much.
Flo, loves Charlie and Katie, they are wonderful sitters, nothing seems to much trouble for them, I would highly recommend them to anyone, we will using their services again and again, without a doubt.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and happiness come first, always. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality, routines, and quirks to make sure they feel totally comfortable and stress-free. I never rush walks, I only use secure leads, and I’ll stick to any feeding, medication, or care routines you’ve set. Living in Aylesham, we’re lucky to be surrounded by quiet countryside routes - perfect for relaxed walks or more energetic adventures depending on your dog’s vibe. I’m also more than happy to adapt routes to your dog’s comfort levels and preferences.
A typical day
Weekday mornings start with an early countryside walk- me, my partner, and your pup getting some fresh air before the day begins. After work, it’s time for round two - another evening walk through the fields, with plenty of sniff stops and positive reinforcement along the way. I’ll keep your pet company before and after work, making sure they’re fed, walked, and cuddled up comfy in their usual routine. Weekends are even better - longer walks, daytime visits, and full attention for your pet, whether it’s playtime or nap time.
