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 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.

“Molly was super professional, updates daily and took time to ensure our cats were happy. Thank you Molly!!”

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: Hi, I’m an experienced and reliable dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life. Because of this, I have a good understanding of dog behaviour and how to make dogs feel comfortable and safe. For the past three years, I have provided weekly walks for three dogs belonging to the same owner, and have also pet sat for them on multiple occasions. Caring for these different breeds has given me experience with a range of personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m confident handling dogs and always make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to adapt to their usual routine and any specific requirements they may have. I take responsibility seriously and will always treat your dog with care and respect. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! -Alfie canterbury/ sturry and surrounding areas. My availability is marked on the calendar, but feel free to message with further enquiries. I will do my best to make our schedules work together and find the best suited time for you. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first. I know every dog has their own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to follow whatever they’re used to, from feeding schedules, walks, and playtime to training routines, medication, and sleeping arrangements. My aim is to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and cared for while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine and ensuring they receive the attention 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: My family and I have always had dogs and I have often looked after friends dogs as well before starting to host on Rover. I can give a bath and a little trim for your dog during their stay if required, though I'm not a professional grommer, just groom my own dogs. I also have 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: I just love animals!!! I’ve taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes from a very young age. I grew up with 2 dogs constantly around and as I grew I gained more responsibility looking after them. Enjoying this led me to pursue looking after other people’s lovely dogs and cats etc. I have looked after lots of animals at this point - including a Turtle while the owners were in Japan! I am caring, loving and provide an excellent service for any animal. I am incredibly attentive and have an in depth understanding of the requirements of different and animals/ breeds. My cat and dogs will testify to this along with all the happy customers I have looked after! Working from home allows me to pay far more attention to pets than I probably should! I work fully remotely as a Project Manager in Canterbury and have a flexible schedule. I am available for sitting through the day, any day of the week and also for over night stays. I would ensure whatever pet I was taking care of received the best and most effective care. To ensure this happens I would have a discussion prior to any visits/ walks to ensure your wants and expectations of my service can be met. Within this I would also want to cover any specific requirement of your pet - ie current commands and training.

“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!”

“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.”

About: I have 6 years of experience caring and creating a fun and safe environment for pets to be around. I have looked after friends, family’s and other individuals best friends. With an eye for detail and being a perfectionist nothing is looked over and your pets will be in safe hands! I work a part time job where walks and night stays can be worked around. On my off days I love to be active so spending a full day or complete other tasks for your pets will be easy to do! I typically only offer pet sitting in the owners home as I own 2 dogs and I know some dogs or cats may not feel most comfortable in that new environment. I always follow the instructions given by the owners and give all my attention toward the dog/cat, such as making sure they stay in one room, feeding at specific times, and even if they need a quiet calm environment. Because I love being active I’m always happy to play with your pets and make sure they are getting the attention they need.
