About: I am the pet parent of two large rescue dogs that are now getting on in years - but I’ve seen it all! I’ve been a regular dog walker for neighbours, so I’m familiar with all ages from puppy through to senior, and all personalities including high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and those that pull. I know great local routes for doggie adventures tailored to your pet’s needs. I work from home on a flexible schedule, and am always interested in an opportunity for a brisk walk or a home visit with a furry friend. I'm often available for last minute bookings. Each dog has unique needs, and I am careful to follow any instructions specific to your pet, including reinforcing your training routines. I prioritize your pet’s safety, having completed a dog emergency first aid course. When doing house visits I will ensure your home remains secure and clean while providing personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and happy.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the love and attention I give to every dog I care for. I truly believe that every dog deserves a lot of love and companionship, and I treat them as if they’re my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog in need of some extra TLC, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved. With me, your dog gets more than just a walk—they get a friend who genuinely cares! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I have a flexible schedule working for a family business, which means I have plenty of free time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I absolutely love being outdoors and often spend time in nature, so I’m always excited to get out and enjoy walks with your dog. As an avid photographer, I also find joy in capturing special moments, so if your dog’s up for it, I’ll happily snap a few cute photos of our adventures together! I respect your home and your pet’s routine, ensuring comfort by following your rules, providing meals on time, keeping water topped up, and offering affection.

About: I have had my own dog Taz, a Whippet that I cared for since I was 10 including walks, feeding, cleaning and daily care. I also looked after him during his illness with stomach cancer in later years which included administering medication. I have cared for a wide range of dog breeds of all sizes young and old, tailoring to their individual energy levels and requirements. I currently work from home which means I can pet sit any day of the week. I am also very flexible and able to carry out walks most times of the day. I have a lot of experience caring for pets in pet owners homes and can cater to your individual requirements. I am not currently accepting bookings within my own home.
About: I've had pets ever since I was as young as age 7. I started out with goldfish in a small aquarium. Owning pets when I was young helped me to grow into a more empathetic and compassionate person. I also used to have pet guinea pigs, and now I have a cat. Having these mammals has allowed me excellent opportunities to form bonds with animals early on, and practice for bonding with future pets. I also attended Hadlow College Canterbury for 3 years and did animal care courses. I worked with goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs in their outside yard. In their indoor area, I also worked with small rodents, reptiles and even amphibians. For all of those animals, I was given training on how to clean them out, how to handle them, give them the right amount of food, and how to perform a health check. Qualifications acheived: •Foundation in animal care •Level 1 diploma in animal care •Level 2 diploma in animal care I am highly flexible and can fit pet care around my normal daily routine. This is throughout both weekdays and weekends. I am able to to late evenings or early mornings should you request. I have cat toys and scratching posts that are provided for my cat to be stimulated. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning with nuggets and once in the evening with a sashe.
“Great service kept me up to date very happy doggy”
About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats since I was young in Thailand. Over the past 7 years, I’ve helped neighbours, friends, and family walk, feed, and care for their pets. I recently moved to the UK to study and would love to continue working with animals while writing my dissertation. I’m patient, gentle, and always pay attention to each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just spending time to make them feel safe and happy. Back in Thailand, caring for pets was part of my everyday life—I’d start my mornings by feeding them and taking them out for a walk or some playtime. I truly enjoy being around animals, and now that I’m working on my dissertation with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the day to care for pets with attention and patience. Whether it’s morning routines, midday exercise, or evening feeding, I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs. I always prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety, whether I’m in their home or mine. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain a clean and calm environment, and make sure the pet feels secure at all times. I also respect each pet’s personality—some need space, others love cuddles—and I always give them the attention and care they need.

About: I have grown up with dogs and always kept dogs as pets my whole adult life. I could not be with out them. From caring for my own to helping out family and friends with their pets. I have also been walking dogs for busy people for the last two years. It is my perfect job. I do work part time, Monday to friday, walking dogs in the morning so I have lots more time to care and walk for other dogs. As much as I enjoy walking the dogs I love the exercise myself, I am always keen to walk. My garden has a fence one side, a wall the other so is very safe. My 2 dogs have access all day and night to the garden if they need it. I would walk any dogs staying, including my own twice a day. I'm also flexible to dog sleeping arrangements to make them feel as safe as possible in a new environment.
