Pet Sitting Aylesham

“Charlotte was beyond amazing, she looked after our two girls like they were her own, kept us up to date every day with how they were doing and plenty of pictures. She even took the time to look after our chickens too, giving them plenty of love. Surprised to come home and find she’d swept up and emptied the bins too so we came home to a clean house! Wouldn’t even consider using anyone else! Thanks again :-)”

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 :)

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.

“Jasmine is lovely. Very reliable and clearly loves dogs. My nervous dog was very to start with but now is very comfortable with her. Jasmine is always responds to requests very quickly. This is valuable when trying to plan.”

About: Hi! I’m a genuine dog lover based in Dover, and I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs. I’ve had two dogs of my own, so I understand the responsibility, patience and care that comes with looking after someone’s beloved pet. I’m one of those people who seems to attract dogs wherever I go — and I absolutely love it! Whether your dog wants a long walk, some company and cuddles, or simply someone calm and caring around while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention they deserve. I currently work full-time, so I’m offering pet care around my working hours: • Dog walking after work • Drop-in visits after work for feeding, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles • Overnight stays on weekends • Lots of patience, affection and one-on-one attention I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always take the time to get to know your dog and follow the routine you’re comfortable with. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I’d want someone to give my own pets. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring and genuinely obsessed with dogs, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

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.

“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 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.

“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:

About: Dogs think I'm their new best friend. Cats eventually decide I'm acceptable. Either way, your pets get plenty of care, attention, playtime and updates while you are away. I grew up with my doggie, Fudge. She would sit on my lap in the pram, deal with being dressed as a princess through my childhood and be the fur I cried into during the dreadful teenage years! Animals make our lives and we make theirs. Thats why as a sitter I treat your animal like they are my own childhood pup, providing love, adventure and time when you can't. I am a professional harpist so my day involves practicing my music and giving your pet lots of attention and love. My days are incredibly flexible so I can cater them to what your pet needs. I have a large paddock with lots of space for Zoomies, as well as a fenced off smaller garden to keep your pets safe. I live fairly rurally in the beautiful Kent countryside and I'm close to the beach if your doggie loves a swim!

“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: 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.

About: I am a reliable and accountable pet sitter with over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, from small breeds to larger animals. I have provided pet sitting services for friends and am comfortable handling multiple pets at once while ensuring each receives proper attention and care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, and administering medication, always following owner instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and wellbeing. I prioritise safety, including responsible leash handling and creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. With a flexible schedule covering weekdays and weekends, I aim to provide dependable and consistent care you can trust. I treat every pet with patience and respect, ensuring they feel comfortable and well looked after in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule across weekdays and weekends. This allows me to reliably accommodate walks, feeding times, drop-in visits, and medication routines while giving pets consistent attention and care. I am organised, accountable, and follow owners’ instructions closely to maintain each pet’s normal routine, safety, and comfort. I care for pets in their owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions and prioritise cleanliness, safety, and responsible care at all times. I also provide timely updates with photos and videos so owners can stay reassured and connected with their pets while away. Being accountable and reliable is very important to me, and I aim to give both pets and owners peace of mind.

“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!”

“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!”

Cats have a litter tray in my large double bedroom and will have full run of the large house.
