“Charlie and Hannah were amazing. Extremely communicative, came twice in one day to drop-in to look after our two girls. Even though I was out of the country I felt like I knew exactly how my two dogs were doing, the videos and photos showed my girls relaxed and happy. Will definitely be rebooking with Hannah and Charlie!”
“Verity was perfect, Duke absolutely loved her from the off and she made us feel very comfortable. She listened carefully to all the info about his commands and quirks and was brilliant with him. Would recommend Verity and will be booking her again. Thank you! X”
“Bekki looked in on our Sadie and prepared her lunch, and let her out for a wander around the garden. Bekki even locked up our back door which we'd left open! Very efficient and good communication. Great with our old girl.”
About: I've lived with dogs for the last 7 years and I absolutely love it! Providing dogs with the exploration and happiness they need. Started Stride & Sniff to empart this love onto as many dogs as possible. We will continue to do so! I'm working nights, 6pm - 3am, so I have more than enough time during the day, to give your pets the attention and play time they need! Also provide weekend care as well! With my current client, I keep the back gate locked, to ensure a safe environment. And while walking, the dog stays on the lead, with a muzzle (requested), but if you have a nervous dog, that will be taken massively into account!
“Iva was highly reliable and so importantly, kind and caring with Simba, who loved her! Iva sent us daily texts and pics of Simba, which was very reassuring. We'd have no hesitation recommending Iva and we will be asking her to help again with our next holiday.”
“Holly was a wonderful cat sitter, making sure to send a picture of Squeak every day to let me know that she had seen her, I would definitely recommend her and will be sure to reach out to her again if I need another cat sitter.”
“Jade was wonderful! She was very communicative, and gave us daily updates on our two cats while we were away. We couldn’t have been happier with the service she provided. We would highly recommend Jade.”
“Lucy was very friendly, punctual, reliable, and most importantly, Duke instantly loved her (despite being nervous around new people) and took a shine to Lucy straight away. Thank you! Will be booking again! :)”
“Elle was great. Really helped me when I needed someone at short notice. Came and visited prior without hesitation and understood my boys behaviour when he displayed some anxiety. A great understanding of dogs and would definitely use again 🐾”

About: 🐾💛 Welcome to Biscuit Break Pet Care 💛🐾 Hello! My name is Lauren (Ren), and I created Biscuit Break Pet Care, a professional, compassionate and continually developing pet care service based in Smarden, serving the surrounding local villages and Ashford area. 🏡🐾 With over four years of personal animal care experience, alongside professional experience within kennels, catteries, dog walking and pet-sitting businesses, I have cared for a wide variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own individual personality, routine and needs. My approach to pet care is centred around comfort, welfare, low-stress handling and individualised care. I believe pets should be given the time, patience and understanding they need to feel safe and comfortable, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, enrichment, maintaining a familiar routine, or simply allowing a more nervous pet to have space and settle at their own pace. 💛 I currently provide care for a wide range of companions, including dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, aquatics and amphibians. 🐶🐱🐹🦜🦎🐠🐸 Biscuit Break Pet Care is fully insured and DBS checked, and I am continually expanding my knowledge through further education and training, including comprehensive Pet First Aid & CPR training across multiple species. My long-term goal is to continue developing Biscuit Break into a knowledgeable, welfare-focused pet care service, with further education in areas such as animal behaviour, enrichment, species-specific care, low-stress handling and more specialist animal welfare. 🎓🐾 Whether you are going away on holiday, working long hours, taking on extra shifts, or simply need some additional support with your pets, I aim to provide reliable and compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while your pets remain in the environment they know best. All new clients receive a complimentary initial meet and greet before their first booking, along with a welcome packet providing all the details and information on what we do.

You are welcome to enquire about as many dates as you need, whether you require a single visit, multiple home visits, daytime care, overnight care or 24-hour pet sitting. Bookings are confirmed based on availability and are secured once all required booking arrangements have been completed. 🗓️🐾 I will always do my best to provide your pets with the care they need, but availability can become limited especially during busy holiday periods, so I recommend enquiring as early as possible to avoid disappointment. ☀️🏡 I understand that plans can change and that life can sometimes be unpredictable. If you need to cancel or change your booking, please let me know as soon as possible so I can update my schedule and, where possible, offer the dates to another client. For bookings that have been confirmed with payment, cancellations or significant date changes made with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to an 80% cancellation fee, as outlined in the service agreement accepted at the time of booking. Thank you for understanding and helping me keep the booking process fair and reliable for all clients. 💛🐾 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Before your first booking, all new clients receive a complimentary Initial Meet & Greet.

I cannot fault Verity. She is kind, caring and super attentive. She has done several pop ins now for my Labrador and he absolutely loves her visits. I receive lovely little photo updates while I’m at work, which make my day as I just know he is in great hands. Quick responses to any messages I have and she has always been available when I’ve needed her. Thanks again Verity ⭐
Jade was amazing!! It's hard to leave our 12 week kittens but I felt so comfortable with Jade. She approached them with such patience and care and they LOVED her. Jade dealt with their crazy kitten energy so well playing with them and cuddling them and her communication was great. I am so grateful to Jade and Gadget and Gizmo miss you!!!
Lucy has been absolutely outstanding. She looked after our 20-year-old cat, Filou, for the last three months while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She went above and beyond every single day. She took wonderful care of Filou, made sure he took his daily medication, cleaned up immediately whenever he had an accident, kept the windows open on warm days so he could enjoy some fresh air, and even put his water in the fridge so he always had cool water to drink. She also watered our plants and, when Filou needed veterinary care, she kindly took him to the vet on our behalf. It was clear from everything she did that she genuinely cared about his comfort and wellbeing. Knowing that Filou was in such loving and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind throughout our time away. Lucy is, without a doubt, the best cat sitter we have ever had. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to caring for their pets. Thank you so much, Lucy!
Charlie and Hannah were amazing. Extremely communicative, came twice in one day to drop-in to look after our two girls. Even though I was out of the country I felt like I knew exactly how my two dogs were doing, the videos and photos showed my girls relaxed and happy. Will definitely be rebooking with Hannah and Charlie!
Iva was highly reliable and so importantly, kind and caring with Simba, who loved her! Iva sent us daily texts and pics of Simba, which was very reassuring. We'd have no hesitation recommending Iva and we will be asking her to help again with our next holiday.
Dr Zohreh was amazing. This is the first time we have used Rover and we’re very nervous about leaving our precious kitties. She was so kind and patient and treated Mac and Mitsy so well. I actually believe they still miss her. We will always use her in future Thankyou so very much
Emily recently looked after our cats, Poppy and Oscar, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She gave our cats so much attention, and it was clear they were comfortable and happy in her care. We really appreciated the regular daily updates she sent, which always included great photos of Poppy and Oscar. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands and that everything was going well while we were away. Emily's communication was excellent, and her love for animals really shines through. We'll definitely be rebooking with her for our next trip. :)

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Ashford pet parents with similar pet households.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ashford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
