Cat Sitting Aylesham

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.

About: Hello there I’m Nicola, a caring and highly experienced dog walker/ sitter serving Canterbury and surrounding villages. I only look after solo pets and those from the same household. My 'speciality' is reassuring nervous dogs (as well as anxious owners!) I can be flexibly with my availability; whether you need regular weekday walks or occasional pet services. I work fully remotely so make a great daytime companion (I am a part-time researcher/ advocate for refugee rights). If you require a pet service not explicit on my profile do get in touch, I am always open to new ideas and learning new skills. I have had rescue dogs throughout my life, including "failed" police dogs and elderly dogs. Previously, I fostered Romanian rescue dogs, ahead of helping them find their forever homes. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with mobility and/ or health considerations. I already have some regular dog walking Clients but have recently gained capacity to take on more work (I am new to Rover). I am now also available for pet sitting whether at my home or yours. I have an enclosed garden, and my home is located a short distance from public footpaths and fields. After saying goodbye to my beloved fur-son last year I do not currently have pets myself (still too bereft!) I have a primary school aged child who is very used to dogs of all ages and sizes (but this would need to be considered ahead of overnight stays my home). I have 25+ years' experience caring for my own/ other people's pets, including in their own homes. As well as previously fostering Romanian rescue dogs, I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with health considerations. I am also highly experienced in working with vulnerable people. I hold an enhanced DBS check and my own insurance.

“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!”

“Katrina & her sister (so sorry, wasn't sure how to spell your name) were fabulous! We have a nervous dog and they came to meet her first and carefully went through her needs / wants / quirks. They did a drop in to let her out for a wee and give her a spot of company to break up the day while we were out for a day trip. Katrina sent lots of photos and a detailed update which was very reassuring. I felt entirely confident in them and I will definitely be using them again! Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals, hamsters, birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, horses. I am happier around animals than I am people most of the time! Being a shift worker I know how hard it is trying to find a walker or someone to call in when you have to work. Now that I have no pets at home it’s a chance for me to help someone else and get all the walks and play and cuddles from other peoples gorgeous animals As a shift worker I get different days off so I can be very flexible. I can help out on awkward dates. I am used to early mornings and late nights and can be about during the day when other people aren’t I have always had dogs and have a secure garden and surrounded by fields and great walking around the village and over the fields. I have no issue with dogs on the sofa!

“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”

About: I’ve taken care of my 2 shih Tzus for around 4 years taking on the responsibility once I was more grown up , they’re our family dogs and 3 years ago we welcomed 2 labradors into the household! And between me and my sisters we learned everything from looking after puppies where we trained them to use outdoor for toilet , small tricks such as sit , wait , stay , paw and to the early rebellious youngster stages until up to now where they’re fairly trained go on daily walks and exercise and a nightly routine to settle down for bed. I’m currently working part time and will have plenty of time available to stay/or walk your adoring pets with the love they need and deserve so please any questions about anything please feel free to ask! I have a closed off back garden and 2 younger pups that love to play once they sniff around and 2 older dogs who like to sunbathe and relax and can be separated to whoever is suitable or both :)

“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!”

“Jiachen looked after our cat whilst we were away for 10 days. Jiachen had great communication, keeping us updated with videos & photos daily. Would highly recommend using Jiachen for pet care.”

About:

About: Hi, I’m Ella - your friendly neighbourhood dog walker! I’ve recently moved to the Canterbury area and would love to look after your dog or cat! I have a genuine love for all animals and lots of experience caring for them. I want your dog or cat to get the exercise, affection and attention they deserve. I’ve worked with animals for around 8 years including roles in Vet clinics, shelters and farms. I tailor each walk to your pets personality and needs, and I prioritise safety and lots of tail wags. I am unemployed and would love to devote my time to looking after animals. I am happy to walk or visit a per any weekday and anytime. I am offering dog walking and cat/dog sitting in the owners home. I will always make sure a dog is safe on a walk and will follow any rules a owner gives me.

About: I come from a family of dog lovers. Ever since we adopted my first pup when I was four, I was always active in taking care of and playing with him. For as long as I can remember, I took our dogs and friends and family's dogs on walks. I'm currently on a gap year and studying in my spare time, so I have loads of free time to spend showering your pets with the love they deserve. My family in recent years adopted two puppies, so I have an understanding of the importance of structure in a pups day, and gentle but clear instructions given, in order to create a bond and minimise damage that could be done to their environment, whether due to certain accidents or getting too playful. I will also walk the route through before taking the dogs out in order to ensure each walk is compatible to the pet.

About: I’ve grown up with three dogs one lurcher who sadly passed recently at the age of 16 and two mental jack russels. They live with my parents right now and after moving away from home for university I’ve noticed the absence of them massively. I would love to have dogs back in my life again. I love playing with them and going on walks in massive fields they are such an emotional support for me and I miss them. I have also tried to train one of my dogs in dog agility not to great success but he absolutely loved the social aspect 😂. All three of my dogs were rescues which meant they all had specific needs and their own cute little sets of baggage. One of the jack Russel’s has also become completely blind the last couple of years so we’ve made accommodations to that as well. I am well versed in doggie situations and issues and love them all the more for it. I am currently a university student at Kent I already have a part time job but the hours are completely flexible and I would love to include dog sitting and walking as a part of my life again. I have a walled garden and lots of great fields and areas around the university I could talk your dogs lots of great outdoor space away from busy roads. I also have a car so I would be able to take them to different locations to switch things up for them.

“Claire was amazing, she stepped in last minute for us and provided amazing care for our 2 puppies! Claire is clearly amazing at what she does, she kept me updated and I felt confident and reassured my pups were safe and in great hands!”

“I couldn’t have left my little Popcorn with anyone better! Ellie spent time playing and cuddling with her and I came home to a happy little dog! Her care and attention was amazing and she kept me updated throughout and sent photos. I would 100% recommend Ellie and will definitely book her again.”

“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!”
