Information Patricia S. would like to know about your pet

I am unable to take any boisterous or excitable dogs or young puppies. Please let me know if your dog is happy travelling by car, train and / or bus. Please also let me know where your dog usually sleeps. We provide a home from home service and are happy for your dog to sleep in our bedroom. Please bring your dog's bed as this will make him/her feel more at home. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

A typical day

Our typical day: coffee or breakfast at our local dog friendly cafe. A walk in Grove Park or on the common. Sometimes we go for a drive, so I have a proper dog car seat and secure seatbelt. I will send regular pupdates and photos for complete peace of mind.

Pet care experience

PLEASE NOTE THAT I CAN'T TAKE ANY STRONG EXCITABLE DOGS WHO PULL ON THE LEAD AS I SUFFER FROM SHOULDER AND NECK PAIN. I'm happy to take well behaved dogs from different households, but they MUST be introduced first for a little trial, which I will organise. We have a young kitten, so I can only take dogs who are calm around and / or used to cats. However, please check with me regarding dates as there will be times when our cat will stay with friends nearby. Also, I've been very successful in the past at training some dogs to get used to my cat, so this could be an option. I work from home and am offering home boarding, or as I prefer to call it, doggy holidays. I would be delighted to look after your dog while you are away on your holidays, weekends or day trips. We live in the heart of beautiful Tunbridge Wells, near The Pantiles. I have a lovely, spacious house overlooking a totally secure garden. It's just my husband and me, so the house is very calm. I've owned cats and dogs all my life - I have years of experience and can happily deal with all aspects of pet care, including the yukky stuff! Rest assured that your dog will get all the exercise, company and love that he/she needs while you are away.

This was our first time using Rover and leaving Winnie with a sitter overnight, so we were naturally a little nervous. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease. Winnie was so well looked after, and it was lovely receiving updates while we were away. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!

Couldn’t have wished for anyone better to look after both my dogs while I came to Kent to work from home a few days. I’ve never left them with anyone before and Patricia couldnt have been more welcoming and reassuring. Her husband was equally as welcoming too. Will definitely be recommending her to friends and booking her up again in the future. Violet and Elsie loved her to bits in just two days! ♥️

Mordy adores Patricia and is clearly at ease in her home. I can’t rate Patricia highly enough as she tends to his every need and he has a thoroughly good time with her whenever he stays.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
