Ceren was friendly and polite. She attended my property prior to the booking and I showed her around and introduced the cats. Ceren followed my instructions precisely and left the property exactly she was instructed to do so. The cats liked her and she had a gentle manner towards the cats. No issues at all.

As always Charlotte was fabulous, she took all the worry out of an almost 2 week trip and we came back to a happy and relaxed cat, our Cherry. Thank you Charlotte.

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.

This was my first time using Rover and my first time getting a dog sitter. Hamilton loved meeting Poppy on their initial meeting and enjoyed spending time with her and her daughter at their drop in. She sent lots of photos and was in constant communication to make me feel reassured that everything was ok. Thank you so much Poppy, I will definitely be using you again!

As soon as I met Meghan I knew my Ziggy would be in safe hands. She is warm, kind and Ziggy loved her. She dropped in to him while I was on a weekend away. Knowing Ziggy was taken care of by her meant I had no anxiety leaving him overnight. Thank you Meghan! love Emma & Ziggy 🐾 xx

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 don’t just watch pets—I care for them like they are part of our family. With years of hands-on experience I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, needs and routines. Whether it’s extra playtime for an energetic puppy, quiet comfort for an older pet, I tailor my care to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home 🙂 Pet care fits right into my life! I’m an outgoing person who loves being outdoors and staying active, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just enjoying some fresh air. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Caring for pets never feels like work it’s something that always brightens my day! ☺️ When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. They get a comfortable place to rest, regular walks or playtime, and lots of affection. I make sure they feel at home, keep their feeding routine consistent, and always provide a calm, loving environment.

About: Since a young age I have loved animals, but I developed a particular love for dogs when Maisie the Border Terrier was brought into the family. Taking her out on a walk was always the highlight of my day, but since moving away to Whitstable I have been looking for more opportunities to care for dogs and give them the love and attention they truly deserve. I volunteer to help assist the trainers at my local dog training classes and have been volunteering with Kent Search and Rescue Dogs, so I have experience caring for dogs in all different shapes and sizes! I also dedicate a lot of my time to reading dogcare & training book so I'm always improving my understanding on their behavioural needs and well-being, to help ensure I provide all dogs with the best experience out on their walks! I’m committed to providing safe, fun-filled walks that are tailored to your dog’s energy and needs. Let me help keep your dog happy, healthy, and active while you're away! I currently have availability for pet services during anytime in the day on Thursdays and Fridays. I am sometimes available on Saturdays and Sundays and am always happy to help out when I can! I only take dogs to locations I know are safe, and I'm always happy to hear any recommendations from you—especially if your dog has a favorite spot they love to visit!

About: I have experience working with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. Having worked in a dog-friendly environment, I am confident handling dogs with different needs and temperaments. I have also personally trained two dogs, giving me valuable experience in obedience, behaviour, and positive reinforcement techniques. My passion for animals ensures every dog receives safe, reliable, and caring attention. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to easily fit dog walking and pet sitting around my schedule. This allows me to offer reliable availability throughout the week and provide your pets with the time, care, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I ensure pets are kept secure and comfortable at all times, following any instructions provided by the owner. I take care to check that doors, gates, and feeding areas are safe, and I always provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet and home will be treated with the utmost care and respect.

I can't recommend Katrina enough - I've left a review in the past but have engaged Katrina for drop-ins to our nervous and elderly dog many times now and she's utterly amazing! Entirely reliable, conscientious and so good with Luna who needs things done on her own terms. Thank you!

Louisa is a lovely person, and we highly recommend her service. She has fed and walked our Border Terrier a couple of times now when we have been out. She is 100% reliable, sends photos to update us and Coco is always perfectly content when we return.

I cannot recommend Hannah too highly - she is, quite simply, amazing! We have two miniature Dachshunds who are - in keeping with the breed! - somewhat....territorial and bossy (!), and who don't always make friends easily. But they have fallen in love with Hannah, who has just been so good with them. Her manner, her 'can do' attitude and her desire to help do her immense credit. I am so glad we found her!!

Frances is brilliant! This is the second time she has looked after Edie and she is so good with her. Edie is always clearly thrilled to see her and we rest assured that she is well looked after while we are away. The photo updates are always really lovely too and communication is brilliant.
