About: I am originally from North Yorkshire and have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life; my first being a Labrador called Shawkie and a Shetland Sheepdog called Pepper. Since then, I have grown up with Border Collies and shorthaired cats. I have since moved to Kent, and I now have my own cat named Nova, who I have had since she was 11 weeks old. I have helped friends and family from a young age with walking and caring for their own dogs, and then went on to work at a boarding kennel and cattery before becoming a Zoo Keeper. I have always had a passion for dogs and cats and someday dream of having my own dog. I am happy to walk and play with any dog breed no matter the size! I love the outdoors and would be willing to walk your dog no matter the weather. I have recently picked up photography as a new hobby and I am more than happy to take plenty of photos of your dog ok their walks for you to see :) I am currently taking a little break from work due to personal reasons and am available at any time, any day of the week no matter the weather :) I have held two DBS certificates both for a school/college and for the military. Being a Zoo Keeper means I have had several years of training in animal care and safety as well as dog and cat specific care from working at a kennels. I have been trained previously in the administration of medication both oral and injections from a licensed vet while working as a Zoo Keeper so I am able to comfortably meet any care requirements you may have. I am happy to allow your dog off lead during walks, provided they are well-trained and you would like them off lead, otherwise they will be fully leaded while on walks. I do also have a fenced garden at my house for any short play sessions :)

“So grateful to have found Nicola - after moving to the area not knowing anyone, so glad to have found such a perfect person to help look after Ralph my feline furry baby! Nicola has been friendly, flexible, helpful and really looked after Ralph while In as away. She has been sending updates, photos and funny stories about his adventures which really put my mind at ease & allowed me to have a great time away knowing all was well and Ralph was in safe hands the whole time. I cannot recommend Nicola enough and glad to have found Ralph's new part time step Mum for the future, if you need help with you four legged family give Nicola a shout, you won't regret it for a second!”

About: I've always grown up around a range of animals, from cats, dogs, tortoises and more. Forever I have been deemed the animal whisperer of my family, and therefore have always been the go to pet sitter, dog walker, and overall one trusted to look after their pets as if they were my own. As a pet owner and animal lover myself, I understand the importance of good quality, trustworthy care for your pets, as they are truly family. My experience in dogsitting friends and families dogs on multiple occasions, walking their dogs from childhood to now, and volunteering with the RSPCA alongside work experience, paired with my passion for loving your pet as if it were my own, leads me to be a safe and reliable choice for taking care of your beloved pet! Now that I am done with my A levels, I am taking a gap year before university to save up and travel, due to never being on a plane, or even leaving the country before! Therefore apart from my part time job that currently takes up my fridays and saturdays, I have a lot of flexible free time to take up pet care duties, and hope to help others be able to relax while knowing their pet is receiving high quality care, while I can be able to save up for my travelling in future, all while enjoying the extra time with animals as someone who finds peace even with the most energetic and chaotic of pet personalities! Due to my position as a gap year student, I am unable to offer boarding at my own home, and am limited on overnight stays, restricted to Aylesham, Kent for that service unless it is a short stay within Canterbury. However when it comes to dog walking, I am flexible with any reasonable times throughout Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, thursday and Sunday, and can be booked to make multiple visits to your home to feed/play/give some love to your pet throughout the daytime! I am well knowledged on the different challenges each breed brings, and how to adapt my care to suit your dogs own personality and needs. It will be ensured that I am well informed on your pet before care is given, and due to my experience volunteering with the RSPCA I am well aware and understand animal welfare standards of care and will ensure your pet is treated the best it can be through my care.

“Fantastic as ever, will always book Katrina”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had a cat throughout my life, so animals have always been a bit part of my life. My grandparents also used to regularly dog-sit, which meant that I grew up around lots of different dogs and loved caring for them. I’m a genuine animal lover and would treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m responsible, patient and attentive, and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I’ve recently completed my BSc in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. My degree has developed my responsibility, attention to detail, and understanding of health and wellbeing, all of which I feel are valuable when caring for animals. I’m available throughout the week and at the weekends and am happy to work around your pets usual routine. I have a secure, fenced garden and a friendly cat at home, and am used to having animals around. I’ll always take the time to understand your pets individual routine, personality, and will follow any instructions you provide carefully. Your pets safety and wellbeing will always be my priority, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection while they’re with me.

“Emma has been fabulous as always! So responsive to messages and always gives a lovely summary of her visits alongside gorgeous photos of the cats. So trustworthy, and we will continue to book in with her 🐾❤️🐾”

About: I currently work 9am to 5pm, so I'm available for pet care before and after work. I'm happy to do early morning or evening check-ins, and I'm fully available on weekends. I also have my own car, so getting to your home is easy and reliable. I'm flexible and will try my best to work around your cat's routine and needs. I’ll treat your home and your cats with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow their usual routine. Before leaving, I’ll always make sure they’re safe and that doors and windows are secure. I’ll also send you regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your cats are happy, safe and well looked after.

“Very efficient and trustworthy. Came to my house to cater for my dog whilst I was at work. Much appreciated and I shall use again. Thanks”

“Meet beau as part of a meet and greet with my dogs. My dogs have a few issues that could be off putting to some (one is reactive to dogs and the other is very old with disabilities) - but nothing was too much trouble! Both the dogs were instantly at ease and beau is clearly a natural with dogs and an animal lover. Exactly what you want from a dog sitter! Will definitely be using for dog sitting in the future - thank you!”

About: I work from home full time so I’m always around to give your pups lots of cuddles, care and attention. They really become part of the family! I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs of my own called Otis and Chester, who welcome new friends with open arms! I am not only insured through Rover, but also have private sitter insurance so you can be sure that your pups are in safe hands. There are plenty of woodlands surrounding our house so we do an hours walk there most mornings, sometimes we’ll go to Reculver or Hampton instead. Just let me know if your doggo is allowed off the lead or not. We also do a shorter walk in the evening to stretch their legs before bed. I have a very secure fenced garden for them to run around in and an open plan living/dining area so they have plenty of space for play and rest. We live in a 3 bed detached house, your pup is welcome to sleep on the sofa or we can make the spare room into a cosy room with plenty of blankets and toys.

About: I have grown up around cats and dogs, and had 2 cats and 2 dogs as an adult. I really love looking after your furry family member, as if they are part of my own family :)🐾🐕🐶🐱🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐈🐈‍⬛🐾🌿🌱 I’m a student and only do 2 hours a week currently. I’m also working from home as an artist, so this fits into my routine perfectly! I will regularly be walking in the woods and the beautiful parks in Canterbury by the river. I have a fenced garden, and I live right next to a lovely park and have woods nearby, so dogs can easily go out to use the toilet and will get regular walks. Cats have a litter tray in my large double bedroom and will have full run of the large house.

“Manilyn was brilliant. It was the first time we’ve used Rover and she was so reassuring, coming for a pre-visit so we could explain everything and sending such lovely drop-in photos and cards when she visited. 100% recommend and would book her again. 5 star!”

About: I am sometimes known as the Crazy Cat Lady as I am Cat Mum to 6 beautiful cats. I have a gorgeous tortie, called Teddy who has been part of the furmily for over 12 years. Soon after her adoption from Cats Protection followed black kitties, Sally, Bella, Jack, Freddie and Caleb. Unfortunately, we lost Caleb in October 2022, and whilst we weren't ready to take on another furbaby, late November, Elphie fell right into the palms of our hands, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Not only have they left pawprints on our hearts, we've also had many rabbits, and currently have three who keep us busy! We also have an adorable hamster, who likes to tease Elphie at night. I have previously worked as an Animal-Assisted Therapy Practitioner, with my rabbits, but have since moved onto another venture. Animals are still very much a huge part of our life. They complete our heart and live on in our soul. You can find out more about me and my furrmily on my Facebook blog.

About: I have always had pets, from dogs to cats to rabbits and would love to look after yours! Where I work from home I have plenty of time for cuddles and walks during the day. I currently work from home which means I have the time to give your loved pets the attention they deserve! This has meant I have the time before work, during the afternoon and the evening to take your pet out on walks and plenty of cuddles during the day :) I have cat, dog and tortoise sat in other peoples homes ensuring pets are well looked after and loved whilst also keeping your home tidy. I have a large garden at home that is fenced allowing your pet to have room to play.

About:

“Emily was an amazing sitter, she provided good communication each day throughout the visits and sent photos and videos when requested. She built a very good relationship with my cat and I know I can rely on her again!”

Eveline K.

About: I’m a 22 year old from south India. Currently in Scotland working towards my undergraduate degree in Psychology. Cats have been a passion ever since a young age when I used to sneak in little kittens to my house without my parents’ knowledge. My current kitty is a lovely white rag doll that I may or may not have stolen off the streets. She is lovely little cuddles with the most ‘I’m done with life and everything under the sun’ expression. I’m a full time masters students so I have very few classes and lots of free time. Which also makes me immensely flexible. Last minute cancellations and bookings are also adjustable! I’m very adaptive and therefore am amenable to whatever environment your pet may require. Quite, loud, lots of attention, little attention, play time or no play time, I’m happy to do all of it!

About: Professional dog walking with a behaviour-led approach. As a qualified Canine Behaviour Practitioner, I offer more than just a walk — I understand canine body language, stress, arousal and individual needs. Whether your dog needs an enriching adventure, confidence building, calm structured exercise or extra support with their training, every walk is tailored to the dog in front of me. Ideal for puppies, adolescents, nervous dogs, reactive dogs and those who simply benefit from a little more understanding. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. Alongside caring for my own dogs, I work professionally with dogs through behaviour support, structured walks and Walk & Train sessions. I also volunteer with an animal rescue, where I regularly support a high number of cats, including strays, welfare cases and cats who are unwell or need additional care. This has given me experience with cats of very different personalities, backgrounds and needs. My schedule is planned around the animals in my care, allowing me to provide reliable visits without rushing and give each pet the individual time, attention and understanding they need. I care for every pet as an individual, following their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. In an owner’s home, this can include walks, feeding, fresh water, medication where appropriate, toilet or litter care, play, enrichment and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences and boundaries rather than expecting them to interact with me. As a Canine Behaviour Practitioner, I’m particularly confident supporting dogs who may be nervous, reactive, excitable or have additional behavioural needs. My rescue volunteering also gives me experience caring for cats with a wide range of temperaments, including strays, welfare cases and unwell cats. I provide calm, reliable care with close attention to behaviour, wellbeing and any changes that may need to be reported back to you.
