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.
“Suzie has been walking Dolly for a few months now and I cannot recommended Suzie highly enough. Dolly loves her. Suzie is very conscientious, always on time, any problems she lets you know straightaway.”
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: Since the age of 15 I have been caring for my own dogs. I have had a Doberman and a French Bulldog- two very different characters and both the reason why I have such a love for dogs. I have been a nanny for most of my life and within this I care for their dogs too. I love keeping dogs company, playing with them and caring for them in any way they need or are used to. I also love finding new places to walk whether that be at the beach, woods or playing fields in the area. I always like to meet and greet your dog before booking in because I think it’s important to know your current routine with your dog and get to know what may make them anxious, what they enjoy and anything you think I may need to know prior to being in my care. I am currently available Thursday-Sunday for walks & pop-ins. As from October 26, I will be opening my calendar to full time dog care. Please check my calendar for weekly availability. I will follow the routine you have with your pet as much as possible. I know lots of local walks to Canterbury and surrounding so your dog will get lots of stimulating walks and play time. I have experience with many breeds and sizes of different dogs. I have experience in lead and recall training. I will always be aware of safety in the summer- I will walk dogs early in the morning on hot days and always provide plenty of water and a cooling mat. I will love and care for your dogs just as they were my own.
About: I'm a lifelong pet owner, including horses, cats and - most notably - dogs. I've raised and cared for three dogs from puppies through to old age, plus adopting one rescue dog. These have been Alsatians, Welsh Collies and (we think!) some kind of Whippet/ Saluki cross. I've also got plenty of experience with a range of other breeds through friends and family. I understand that the most important thing for your own and your pet's happiness is to support your care and training approach, and am committed to working with you to keep everyone's tails wagging! I work flexibly from home, so can generally be very flexible in terms of availability. The only day with limited availability is a Sunday, due to family commitments, but otherwise can work around your schedule. Within your home, I would look to maintain a normal routine as much as possible to minimise any impact on your dog. I am happy to dispense medication, as well as feed, entertain and walk. I can also water plants and provide basic care for other pets if required. I understand and respect that this is your home, and would look to return it to you in the same condition it was in at the beginning of the visit.
About: I grew up with pets in my house, my love for animals made me go vegan and rescue dogs, we adopted our current precious Battu who is love to my family, living far from home with no pets around looking for opportunity to fill that void in my life by taking care of your furry buddy I’m full time employee works on weekdays. Living away from family looking to feel the joy and happiness of being around pets through this opportunity I prioritize safety, trust, and a loving environment in every aspect of pet care. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your routine from their toilet breaks , food, walks and play with them
“We highly recommend Cheri. In addition to being very professional and reliable, our dog immediately clearly enjoyed being with her. Cheri took the time to understand our dog's needs and preferences. It's great to know our dog is in such good hands. Five stars!”
About: I’ve taken care of both my own pets since as long as I can remember. As an adult I have dog-sat for family and friends for the past 6 years I work daily 9-5 so I am free every evening and weekend. I would be happy to visit dogs on my work lunchbreak if local to work (Canterbury) and I am happy to travel further around kent on evenings and weekends. I live in Deal so will happily care for your floofs anywhere between whitstable, ramsgate and deal areas I am trusted by family and friends to care for their fur babies for short and long term stays, I walk our office dog daily also. I live in a flat but I am more than happy to care for pets here and take them on long walks to the park. Equally I am more than happy to care for dogs in their own homes.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Canterbury is £13
Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Canterbury
Kira enjoyed her walks with Lina over a couple of days whilst I was busy, and was able to exercise carefully with her on a long training lead with some thoughtful games. It has been very hot weather and Lina worked around that suggesting earlier start times etc. I hope they continue to get to know each other and then she will soon be able to go off lead. Lina is a reliable, confident animal lover, who I would recommend to any dog owner.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Canterbury. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Canterbury.

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
