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.

“Nicola has a natural affinity with dogs and she certainly was a big hit with Tula”

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.

“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: 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!

“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.”

“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 Just Want to Hangout with Your Pet! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m currently full time at home! My husband works from home and my children now attend school full time. I have so much spare time and would absolutely love to start caring for pets! I do have a 1year old male Shih Tzu ! He is absolutely adorable! He is my best friend. He is so good with other dogs and cats. Walking is in our daily routine. I ensure he gets plenty of fun walks having fun in the mud! I understand how to deal with behavioural issues with dogs. I’ve always had dogs and been around dogs since my childhood. I can confidently deal with their meals and toileting. Trained all my pet dogs. Although I haven’t had cats as a pet. My sister and mum owns a cat. I’m good around cats and understand their mentality and know when to give them their space! I have a large garden front and back. My back garden is fenced and absolutely no way out for escape. My home is my pride. I live in a clean new build 4 bedroom spaced home. There is a massive green space surrounding my home so walking is absolutely priority and easy!

“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 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.

About:

About: Throughout my life we’ve always had dogs, cats and even reptiles- from Yorkshire terriers and beared dragons up to Boa constrictors and our current Rottweilers I’ve personally trained 4 Rottweilers (3 males 1 bitch) and had the pleasure of raising over 30 pups over the years. As with all big dogs it’s a short life and we’ve recently lost 3 of our 4 (13yrs, 12yrs and 11yrs) a great innings considering their life expectancy we lost our girl due to old age and two males due to cancer- Due to the incredible focus needed to have these breeds it’s given me and my partner great first hand experience of dealing with power, reactive behaviour and general big dog issues. We swear and live by proactive measures ensuring that we avoid tense situations and all cost and do all teaching via reinforcement and care. We spend all and every weekend exploring the uk countryside with Odin, so we’re looking to be able to care for dogs that fit into that lifestyle We live on a large boat, which is out of the water at the moment- we have safety nets and ramps set up so all areas are accessible and safe. Any dog staying with us overnight will have their own cabin onboard :)

About: I’ve basically always had animals around me growing up, so being with pets just feels really natural to me. I’ve looked after everything from small pets to cats and dogs, and I honestly just love spending time with them. Over the years I’ve helped out with family and friends’ dogs quite a bit. Walks, feeding, sleepovers, the lot. So, I’m very used to fitting into their routines and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their humans are away. I’m one of those people animals tend to warm to quite quickly. I think it’s because I’m quite calm with them and I don’t rush things. I like letting them come to me in their own time, especially if they’re a bit shy or unsure at first. And yes… I am absolutely here for the cuddles, snuggles, belly rubs, and the occasional treat bribery (within reason, obviously 😌). I really enjoy just hanging out with animals and giving them proper attention, not just the basics. Walks are one of my favourite things too. I love getting out and about, finding nice routes, and letting dogs have a good explore depending on their energy levels. Whether it’s a big adventurous walk or a gentle wander, I’m happy doing either. My schedule is quite flexible, which means I’m available most days for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I can usually work around different routines pretty easily, so whether your pet needs a morning stroll, a daytime check-in, or evening company, I’m happy to help. Not having pets of my own at the moment because of my letting agreement is exactly why I love doing this. It means I still get to spend time around animals, make new furry friends, and enjoy all their different personalities Overall, I’m just someone who genuinely loves animals and enjoys looking after them properly. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and a bit spoiled while you’re away 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and I’m able to be flexible around the needs of the pets I look after. My work schedule is fairly adaptable, which means I can easily make time for visits, walks, feeding, and any extra care needed throughout the day or week. I’m good at building pet care into my normal flow rather than treating it as something separate or rushed. Whether it’s early morning check-ins, evening visits, or popping in during the day, I can adjust my routine to make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. I understand that every pet has their own rhythm, and I’m confident in working around that to keep things calm and reliable. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks, litter changes, play, and any specific instructions given by the owner. I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so I can make sure they stay settled and stress-free while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of safety and always keep a calm, consistent approach. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, follow any house rules closely, and keep an eye on anything that might affect the pet’s wellbeing. I also take hygiene seriously, keeping feeding areas clean, water fresh, and any mess or accidents dealt with properly and respectfully. Trust is a big part of pet sitting for me. I understand I’m coming into someone’s home and caring for a family member, so I act with respect, reliability, and clear communication. I’ll always update owners with how their pet is doing, so they feel reassured while they’re away. My aim is simple: keep everything familiar, calm, and safe, so the pet experiences as little disruption as possible and can just carry on being themselves in their own space.

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.

“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!”
