“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!”

“We asked Lina to look after our dog for a few hours and found her very friendly and knowledgable about a dog’s needs. She is clearly a dog lover and we felt content leaving our dog in her care. We will definitely be asking Lina to look after our dog again. Thank you Lina. Belle had so much fun.”

“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: 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.”
“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.”

“Hannah offered a professional and caring service from our very first contact, promptly responding to messages and being flexible when we needed to make changes at short notice. Her updates after each drop in were both welcome and reassuring. We would not hesitate to recommend Hannah.”

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life! My partner (Ryan) and I both grew up in multi-pet households, so we are completely comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We recently purchased our own flat and are thrilled to finally be able to welcome pets into our warm and loving home. Our schedules mean that your pet will have around the clock care, company and unlimited cuddles during their stay with us. I work in sales, which gives me two weekdays off to dedicate fully to walks, playtime, and cuddles. My partner Ryan is home on weekends to provide extra love and supervision, ensuring your pet is never lonely. We treat every pet like family and are comfortable with puppies, senior care, managing multiple pets (if from the same household) and following specific routines. We can't wait to welcome your dog (or cat!) into our home! 🐾 The safety and comfort of your pet are our top priorities. Our flat provides a calm and secure home environment with fully hard floors throughout living spaces. Our building features a fenced, communal garden that is completely set back and secured away from any roads where your dog can safely enjoy some fresh air and supervised play. Although we have use of a garden, we both love to walk and are happy to provide as many walks a day as your dog requires to ensure your dog is happy, stimulated, and gets plenty of exercise. We will be fully focused on giving your dog individual attention and enrichment. Ryan and I always supervise playtime, both inside and outside the home. We also strictly follow all feeding, medical, and routine instructions provided by you, ensuring a seamless and worry-free stay.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. We always had multiple dogs including 5 Rottweilers over the years, poodle crosses, a whippet (big sight hound lover) and now I have my own little mini dachshund called noodle who would love to make some new friends. Experienced with injuries and administering medication. My availability is currently limited to weekends boarding/sitting on weekends and week nights. On weekends we like to do long walks in the woods or at the beach. I have a fenced garden on a quiet estate. There’s lots of room and toys to play with and my dog Noodle loves having friends to cuddle with.
“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.”

“Alexandra did an excellent job 10 out of 10 .. She clearly loves cats and my cat loved her. Alexandra communicated really well, too sending photos and videos and updates about my cat at every visit. Recommended .”

“Lovely cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and my cat was calm and well cared for when I got back. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

“Erika was absolutely excellent. I’ve had other sitters before but she went above and beyond to make sure that all my 4 cats were happy and eating well whilst I was away. She kept in regular contact with photos and updates and it was so nice not to feel worried at all about them whilst they were in her care. I one hundred percent recommend Erika, and will definitely book her again.”

“This is my second booking with Abbie and she’s been brill. Followed all feeding instructions, kept things clean and tidy, and sent me useful updates on how our cat was doing during each visit (eg pics, his demeanour.) I get very anxious leaving cat a behind and Abbie gave me so much peace of mind so I could enjoy my break. Thank you Abbie! ”

About: I have taken care of my aunt's young, feverish dachshund since 2022, and I have been trusted to feed, bathe, walk, and play with him. I'm currently a student studying at the university of Kent so I have more than enough of time to watch over your dogs or cats. I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, walks, play, and plenty of attention, and ensuring their safety, happiness, and comfort at home.
“Molly was fantastic, and I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter in the area. She has such a lovely way with our cats, who warmed to her straight away, and she kept us reassured with regular updates and great communication. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away- thank you, Molly!”
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: Hello! It’s Ilayda, I grew up with two dogs in my house and I got my own dog 6 years ago, I’m experienced with puppies and small dogs in particular, with a total of 10 years pet cate experience. I would be happy to keep you updated with photos or videos during care if you wish! I am loving and patient, and I will treat your dog as the king/queen they are! I love going to parks and woods, and more than happy to have furry friends tag along with me! I am currently working part-time from home and therefore quite flexible! I am more than happy to spend my free time with your furry best friend and have fun/quality time together 😊 I do not offer at home care at my house because my dog Cookie is not very fond of new friends visiting her home 😊 to keep her comfortable I only provide care at your home.
