Dog Sitting in Canterbury

About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, but I no longer have one of my own. My miniature pinscher, who sadly passed away a few years ago, was my constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty, love, and the care dogs need. In her later years, she required daily medication and special attention, which gave me valuable experience in looking after dogs with medical conditions. Now that I’m retired, I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your beloved pet. I live near a large open field, perfect for long walks and a good runaround. I’ve also cared for my neighbours’ dogs over the years, ensuring they were happy, loved, and well looked after while their owners were away. To me, dogs are part of the family, and I would be delighted to care for yours as if they were my own. Please note, I have a policy of only looking after dogs from one owner at a time. Being retired, I’m at home nearly all the time, so your dog will always have company. I may occasionally step out for the supermarket or gym, but I’m never gone for more than an hour or two. Your dog will always have my full attention, plenty of care, and regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. I live in a spacious house with a fully fenced garden, offering a safe and secure space for dogs to play and explore. Inside, they’ll find a calm, comfortable, and loving environment. I take safety seriously and ensure each dog is well cared for, with constant supervision and plenty of affection. Your dog will be treated as part of the family while in my care.

More availability in the school holidays as I work term time only. We live in a semi-detached property with a large secure garden, and plenty of beautiful countryside on our doorstep for walks. I work full-time, term time only and am at home during the school holidays. My partner works locally, a 5-minute drive from the house and is at home on Mondays and Tuesdays. We live in a 3-bed semi detached property with a large garden, the garden is surrounded by both fence and hedgerow. We live on the outskirts of Bridge, with plenty of green areas surrounding us perfect for dog walks.

About: I have been looking after dogs since I can remember, within the family setting and have grown to really enjoy the dog world. From the aspiring Mexican dog whisperer to dog companionship, I am happy to care for your dog and provide what they need. It is important that the dog owner can entrust their dogs to someone who provides what has been asked for. I understand how important that is and I am more than happy to sit down and work through the guidelines that you need for your dog. I work around my dog walking schedule. Hence, it is important that we communicate well for further services. I am fairly flexible with my time, and I allow plenty of time in between bookings. I have a fenced yard for those dogs that are used to staying outside or just need a run. I am also happy to keep dogs in our living room and communal area. If needed, I can also come to your house and stay with the dog there.

About: Hey! I’m Alisha, a fully qualified animal carer with an AAA* diploma in Animal Management and a First-Class degree in Conservation Biology. Caring for animals isn’t just something I love, it’s something I’ve dedicated my life to. I’ve worked in doggy daycares, groomers, and cared for dogs of every kind, tiny pups, golden oldies, and everything in between. I joined Rover because I’ve got spare time, a massive love for animals, and I’d love for my dog Ted (who’s super friendly!) to have a few new buddies. I treat every dog like they’re my own, whether we’re cuddled up at home or out exploring. And when it comes to walks? You’re in for a treat. My location means I can take your dog on riverside strolls, woodland trails, seaside splashes, open grassland zoomies, or even chilled city walks. Whatever your dog loves, I’ll tailor the day to them. I’m calm, reliable, experienced, and genuinely obsessed with making sure your pet feels safe, stimulated, and loved. With me, they’re not just looked after, they’re part of the adventure, and part of a family. I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve, whether that’s house sitting, day visits, or fun outdoor adventures. I love spending time in nature, so if your dog enjoys the great outdoors, they can join me for peaceful walks by the river, woodland explorations, and everything in between. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to tailor each day to your pet’s needs and energy levels. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a comfortable and stimulating environment. They will have access to spacious areas and cozy resting spots, along with plenty of toys and mental stimulation. Regular exercise, interactive playtime, and consistent feeding schedules are essential components of their care. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I prioritize their routine and familiarity. I maintain their feeding schedule, provide daily exercise, and engage in interactive play sessions tailored to their preferences. I also ensure their surroundings are clean and secure, while providing ample love, attention, and companionship. Both in-home and owner’s home care services involve regular communication with pet owners to provide updates on their furry friends’ well-being and any special requirements they may have. I am committed to creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for every pet under my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10+ years including labradors, cockapoos, pugs and sausage dogs but am confident with most breeds. I have experience with young and elderly dogs and all inbetween. I have had practise with administering medication too. I have plenty of available time and am flexible to meet yours and your dogs needs - my routine can fit to you and/or yours! I have a fenced in garden with patio and grass and my home is spacious and comfortable… I let animals on the furniture, and have a dog bed too.

“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.”

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: 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. 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 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: Since I was a little girl I’ve had cats and dogs. Nursed our gorgeous shih Tzu who was blind since a young age. I’ve always been the go to when my family or friends go away/abroad. I’m used to house sitting and being independent since a teenager. I live with my partner in a ground floor flat, very spacious with two bedrooms and a garden right outside for regular toilet breaks. We do a long walk once or twice a day, to the nearest woods or one of the lovely walks we have near us. I work as a NHS mental health nursing assistant, I can luckily choose when I work. I am also DBS checked due to my job. My partner works from home so somebody will always be home. Me and my partner recently lost our gorgeous working cocker spaniel, he’s had cats/dogs since young also. We like having dogs on the bed and I’m happy for them to stay with us, they can sleep wherever they like. I will always update you with pictures of what we’ve been up to if you’d like me to!

About: I have been a cat owner for 3 years but before that, I was experienced with taking care of my neighbour's dogs and cats. Right now My landlady has 4 dogs and I help her from time to time to take care of their needs. They are lovely and sometimes they sleep with me. I am a current master's student in advanced computer science but I am mostly free afternoons and weekends. I am experienced with walking with dogs and can make sure of their safety. I own a cat which is my life so I can understand the bond between a pet and and the owner. I only go to clients' houses for overnight stays. I also can adapt the style and or any drills that your dog gets used to it. So it will be easier for them to be with someone stranger and easier for me to bond with them to make sure they feel safe and secure

About: My family and I have always had dogs and I have often looked after friends dogs as well. I'm working 4hours a day, but some weekends Im off. I can give a bath and an unprofessional trim for your dog during their stay if required. I also gained experience in raising puppies from birth. I love all dogs, big or small, but due to the type of my home I am only able to host small or medium breeds, up to 10kg. I will make them feel home and give them lots of attention. There is a nice park and walking route nearby where I can take your dog for a walk and if they are allowed off lead and have a good recall, they can also run free with my cockerspaniel and cockapoo girls. Please let me know before the booking if your dog is on any medication or needs special attention as it might incur additional costs and I have to adjust the price. Thank you for understanding. Hope to see you and your lovely dog(s) soon! :) Any questions, please feel free to ask. Have a wonderful day! :) I'm working locally, 4hrs a day , so most of the day I am available to care for the pets. Can walk them in the nearby parks. I have a small, private, fenced back yard, where I can let your dog out for toilet and a small or medium (up to 10kg) dog can play with my dogs. I can also walk them either together with one or if a small dog, both of mine , or separately, depending what you prefer. Please provide your own dogs food and bowls and instructions on how much and when you would want me to feed them. Vaccination records also required together with the information whether your pet is neutered or not (only able to host neutered male dogs) and how are they getting on with other dogs, cats and children.

About: Hi! My name is Claudia and I am a 28 year old recent LLB graduate! I do not have a ton of professional experience walking dogs but I do my best to make up for that with hard-work, passion and a can-do attitude. During my time at University, I did do some volunteering with the local SPCA organization walking shelter dogs.When people ask whether I'm a "dog or cat person?", I always laugh because it's never even been a question to me. I am 100% a dog person. I'm the type of girl who has her dogs on the back of her phone case, unabashedly wears "dood"-related slogans on her clothes and who's photo roll is just backed up with dog photos galore.Later in life when i'm more settled financially, I hope to open a dog rescue charity. Another passion in my life is animal photography, so I can definitely share some great photos from any walks and/or visits. I have had 4 golden doodles in my life and all 4 captured my heart completely. I am comfortable with a variety of sizes since my doods have all been about 70 pounds and they were all pretty high energy dogs so I’m use to doing more strenuous activities with them. To me, a dog should always be treated like a part of the family. This is what I promise to do for any dog that I walk or visit. I am currently looking for graduate legal jobs in the area and therefore, have plenty of free time in my schedule for walks and care. I unfortunately cannot have dogs in my studio flat at the moment, but will respect any rules set in terms of caring for your dog while walking them in the neighborhood.

About: Hello, I’m Layah and have lots of experience working with animals and pets, I’ve had a range of pets all my life from dogs to ferrets and have dog sat for friends and neighbours in the past. I have a level 3 extended diploma in animal management so I am well equipped to keep pets safe and entertained as well as being able to administer medication. Im currently a student at the university of Kent in second year. I am free weekends and Wednesdays and Thursdays as I’m only in university 3 days a week. I could also possibly do Mondays and Fridays depending on times needed. When I am dog sitting I am able to play, feed, walk and keep your pets company. If there are any other specific requirements such as crating, brushing or anything else, I am willing to do whatever I can to make your pets feel safe and well cared for

About: I got my first pup, Toby, when I was around 12 years old and quickly fell in love with him. He’s a teacup yorkie, so so tiny but a dog with the biggest heart ever! He’s my dog so I had the responsibility of walking him everyday, making sure he’s fed every morning and given an overload of pets and love. When my grandfather passed away in 2021, my family decided to take in his sweet boy, Rosco, a big husky-german shepherd mix. Even though he was five times larger than Toby, caring for him came naturally and he and Toby were practically brothers within an instant. Sadly Ross recently passed away from doggie cancer :( Although he’s gone, his heart will always remain with me. I wake up pretty early so I’m always up in time to feed my dogs on time. I’m also very active so I like to go on walks in general so having them with me makes it a bit more fun. I am a full time student living abroad so my time with my pets has been limited to the summer and christmas holidays but when I’m home I spend 24/7 with them. I take them for drives, to parks, or even just to run errands with me. They’re never alone for long amounts of time when I’m back in my hometown. My backyard is fenced off so dogs can’t escape onto the main road. I also don’t like to leave dogs unattended for great amounts of time just because I don’t want them to feel forgotten and also just to keep a close eye on them so they don’t get up to mischief.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and animal lover. I currently have two rescue dogs (both mixed breeds and dog-reactive), so I understand the needs of dogs with unique behavioral quirks. I’ve also cared for a senior dog with diabetes, so I’m comfortable administering medication and supporting elderly dogs with special health needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve worked at dog kennels and boarding facilities, where I provided exercise, enrichment, and lots of love. 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! I also have previous experience providing overnight pet sitting for boarding clients, ensuring their pets were comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be there to provide it
