Cat Sitting Canterbury

“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!”

“Erika took great care of Corduroy! She is extremely engaged and sensed his mood shifts and she is very reliable. I recommend booking her for your cat or dog.”

About: Hi, I’m Michelle — a warm, friendly animal lover based in Canterbury. I live with my German Shorthaired Pointer, Otis, and two cats, Brownie and Peanut, so I’m very used to a busy, happy home with different personalities and energy levels. I’m new to offering dog care through Rover, but I bring years of real‑life experience as a dedicated pet owner. Living with both a high‑energy dog and calm, independent cats has taught me how to create a relaxed, safe environment where animals feel comfortable and understood. My approach is gentle, reliable, and calm. I’m easy to communicate with, and I’ll always make sure you feel updated and reassured while your dog is with me. I currently have plenty of flexibility in my week, which means I can offer reliable support for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and spending quality time with your animals. I live with my GSP and two cats, so I’m used to supporting pets with different needs and personalities. We have a safe, fully walled garden where dogs can relax and explore securely. I’m happy to separate animals when needed, and I can crate dogs safely and kindly — Otis used to be crated, so I’m very familiar with this. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. I enjoy taking dogs on both long, scenic walks and shorter, interesting routes depending on what suits them best.

About: I have a level 3 qualification in animal care and have been working in the industry for years. I am also a qualified dog groomer and have dealt with dogs of all sizes and temperament. I have experience with all dog big and small so I’m happy to take your dog no matter there story. I will give your pets anything they need. Whether your dogs needs long training walks or just a short fun walk, I am happy to provide. I can also just pop in every now and then if they need checking in on throughout the day for some snuggles and treats. I have experience with dogs that are reactive to other dogs and know how to handle the situation if needed. I have worked in many different animal fields including doggy day care for a year and I am now a fully qualified dog groomer with a level 4 in animal behaviour. I can crate your dog if necessary and give medication is needed.

“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.”

About: I’m a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person who has always had a special love for animals. Growing up, our home was always filled with dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a natural and important part of my life from an early age. Since I was a child, I’ve also loved helping our neighbours by walking their dogs and spending time with their pets. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Today, my husband, our children, and I absolutely adore animals. We believe pets are part of the family and deserve lots of love, attention, patience, and care. When your pet is with me, you can feel confident that they will be treated with the same kindness and affection I would give my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I would love to welcome your furry family member and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to looking after pets. I’m able to give them lots of attention throughout the day, take them for regular walks, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would be happy to make them part of my daily routine. 🐾❤️ We have a garden with secure fencing, so pets can enjoy some outdoor time safely without the risk of running away. I always take safety very seriously and will make sure your pet is supervised and cared for while staying with us. You can have peace of mind knowing that they will be in a safe, secure, and loving environment.

“Hannah was a life saver. We had both to return to work with a 9 week old puppy and she was available and so great with our pup so we'll certainly book again.”

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: 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.

“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.”

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.

“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!”

“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 .”

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.
