“Annabel looked after our two dogs really well. Her communication during the drop in was great, was on time and followed the guidance about the house and dogs. Couldn't ask for anything more :)”
“Frances took care for our cat while we were away for a week. She did everything we asked for, most importantly provided great care for the cat. Will definitely use Frances in future again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Previous one had several behavioural issues due to being a rescue. Former dog walker for RSPCA. Recently dog sat/ house sat an incredibly energetic springer spaniel for 3 weeks. I have also helped friends with their rover dogs. I am a full time teacher. I can offer over night care and care in the half terms/ weekends. I have a great park near by and a car to transport. There is a walking trail behind my flat and an outside area for the dog to be can be let off but as it is not completely fenced they can also be on lead depending on comfort level. Pets are treated like family. The care instructions are followed to the letter. They will be taken out for at least 2 walks and given regular breaks in the outside part. Ground floor flat so no stairs for any dogs that may struggle.
“Monica is a great drop-in sitter for our kitty! She is always communicative, makes sure all needs are met, and it's clear our cat loves to play and hang with her. We absolutely recommend Monica!”
“Abby is a cheerful person who is able to keep us updates on our cat's progress with photos and videos sent. As we missed our cat a lot during our vacation, I think it's good to have a CCTV in place next time so as to view our cat frequently.”
“Erika was fantastic. This was my first time leaving Nellie for more than a couple of days and with someone she doesn't know. I thought the cat would be shy and hide but no, I got daily updates of her playing with Erika and enjoying strokes. It made it so much easier for me knowing she was being looked after and was getting regular attention. Got daily photos and videos which was lovely. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: Diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking. I currently reside with Dolly the miniature pinscher, who is a rescue with one eye, with my 9 yr old son. Before Dolly, I had a Jack Russell named Rocky whose confidence outweighed his stature. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses and small furries in my years and treat them as family not just pets. I work full time but work from home half of the week. I am flexible with my working hours and can take lunch breaks when it is needed. I have a fenced back garden and am just a short hop from lots of local parks surrounding the River Stour. Any dogs in my home are welcome on sofas and beds and cuddles are free. When walking dogs I am careful with meeting other dogs and ensure the lead is on.
“Olga popped for a visit to sit with Aragorn. She made sure to send me pictures and is always affectionate with him. he was happy to see her and was immediately relaxed sleeping next to her.”
“Lina was great! Stirling was very well taken care of.”
“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've had pets ever since I was as young as age 7. I started out with goldfish in a small aquarium. Owning pets when I was young helped me to grow into a more empathetic and compassionate person. I also used to have pet guinea pigs, and now I have a cat. Having these mammals has allowed me excellent opportunities to form bonds with animals early on, and practice for bonding with future pets. I also attended Hadlow College Canterbury for 3 years and did animal care courses. I worked with goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs in their outside yard. In their indoor area, I also worked with small rodents, reptiles and even amphibians. For all of those animals, I was given training on how to clean them out, how to handle them, give them the right amount of food, and how to perform a health check. Qualifications acheived: •Foundation in animal care •Level 1 diploma in animal care •Level 2 diploma in animal care I am highly flexible and can fit pet care around my normal daily routine. This is throughout both weekdays and weekends. I am able to to late evenings or early mornings should you request. I have cat toys and scratching posts that are provided for my cat to be stimulated. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning with nuggets and once in the evening with a sashe.
“Great service! Sophie is very friendly and Dolly took to her instantly ?”
“Jaichen was amazing with Flor ? Flor is on medication twice a day and she really struggles with other people, but she liked Jaichen very much. Definitely an experience to repeat.”
About: I’m a dog lover through and through! I’ve had a Yorkshire Terrier my whole life, so I understand the love and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’ve also cared for a variety of my friends’ dogs, from big to small, which has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and care routines. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or ensuring they stick to their feeding schedule, I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. As a student at the University of Kent with plenty of free time, pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available on any day of the week !! Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or providing companionship, I’m excited to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Finding a job that lets me do that truly feels like a dream come true! I’m all about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m looking after them at their home or mine. I love to go on walks, so bringing a dog along is a win for both of us! If I’m at the pet owner’s home, I can drop by to feed, play, or take the dog for a walk—and I’m happy to stay overnight if needed. I can also have the dog come to my place during the day for some extra attention and fun. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home, wherever they are!
About: I have been taking care of my own 3 cats for 8 years since I was 12. They are now 6 years old and 10 years old. I can offer dog walking, pet sitting. If interested, here is an account to have a look at my lovely cats- @catsis_catsis on instagram. I am currently on holidays so I am available at any time and day. I cannot do late night dog walking. Latest dog walk would be 8pm. I have a fenced garden which can allow dogs to play in. We have doors that separate kitchen and living room. I can also walk dogs to moors and parks.
About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats since I was young in Thailand. Over the past 7 years, I’ve helped neighbours, friends, and family walk, feed, and care for their pets. I recently moved to the UK to study and would love to continue working with animals while writing my dissertation. I’m patient, gentle, and always pay attention to each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just spending time to make them feel safe and happy. Back in Thailand, caring for pets was part of my everyday life—I’d start my mornings by feeding them and taking them out for a walk or some playtime. I truly enjoy being around animals, and now that I’m working on my dissertation with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the day to care for pets with attention and patience. Whether it’s morning routines, midday exercise, or evening feeding, I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs. I always prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety, whether I’m in their home or mine. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain a clean and calm environment, and make sure the pet feels secure at all times. I also respect each pet’s personality—some need space, others love cuddles—and I always give them the attention and care they need.
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.
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.

I’m committed to giving every dog I care for the same attention and respect I give my own pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate almost any client’s needs, whether it’s walks or check-ins. I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe and happy while you’re away!
