About: I am a reliable and accountable pet sitter with over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, from small breeds to larger animals. I have provided pet sitting services for friends and am comfortable handling multiple pets at once while ensuring each receives proper attention and care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, and administering medication, always following owner instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and wellbeing. I prioritise safety, including responsible leash handling and creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. With a flexible schedule covering weekdays and weekends, I aim to provide dependable and consistent care you can trust. I treat every pet with patience and respect, ensuring they feel comfortable and well looked after in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule across weekdays and weekends. This allows me to reliably accommodate walks, feeding times, drop-in visits, and medication routines while giving pets consistent attention and care. I am organised, accountable, and follow owners’ instructions closely to maintain each pet’s normal routine, safety, and comfort. I care for pets in their owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions and prioritise cleanliness, safety, and responsible care at all times. I also provide timely updates with photos and videos so owners can stay reassured and connected with their pets while away. Being accountable and reliable is very important to me, and I aim to give both pets and owners peace of mind.
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've always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, caring, and reliable service, treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, including energetic puppies and older dogs that need a slower pace and extra patience. I'm happy to stick to your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, administering oral medication if required, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Being active means I can provide long walks and engaging exercise for high-energy dogs, while also understanding when a quieter, gentler approach is needed for senior pets. I'm reliable, punctual, and know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. My priority is making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and make time every day for walks, outdoor exercise, and spending time with dogs. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routine, so I'm happy to follow your dog's normal schedule, whether that's early morning walks, medication, meal times, or evening cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and always make sure the pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. For me, looking after dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping to their normal routine. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements before their stay. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of affection. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable place to rest. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll respect your property as if it were my own while maintaining your pet's usual routine to help them feel settled. I'm also happy to administer oral medication if needed, provide regular toilet breaks, and send photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. I understand how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own.
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life! I grew up in multi-pet household, so am completely comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I recently purchased my own flat and am thrilled to finally be able to welcome pets into my warm and loving home. My work schedule means that I get Tuesday Wednesday off work so that your pet will have around the clock care, company and unlimited cuddles during their stay with me. I work in sales, which gives me two weekdays off to dedicate fully to walks, playtime, and cuddles. My partner Ryan is home on weekends to provide extra love and supervision, ensuring your pet is never lonely. We treat every pet like family and are comfortable with puppies, senior care, managing multiple pets (if from the same household) and following specific routines. We can't wait to welcome your dog (or cat!) into our home! 🐾 The safety and comfort of your pet are our top priorities. Our flat provides a calm and secure home environment with fully hard floors throughout living spaces. Our building features a fenced, communal garden that is completely set back and secured away from any roads where your dog can safely enjoy some fresh air and supervised play. Although we have use of a garden, we both love to walk and are happy to provide as many walks a day as your dog requires to ensure your dog is happy, stimulated, and gets plenty of exercise. We will be fully focused on giving your dog individual attention and enrichment. Ryan and I always supervise playtime, both inside and outside the home. We also strictly follow all feeding, medical, and routine instructions provided by you, ensuring a seamless and worry-free stay.
“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.”
“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.”
“5 stars for Katrina and her sister!!! Really friendly, confident and very knowledgeable and considerate to Ruby. Ruby can be a bit shy but really enjoyed the walk with the girls!! Thank you and highly recommended 😁”

About: Hello there I’m Nicola, a caring and highly experienced dog walker/ sitter serving Canterbury and surrounding villages. I only look after solo pets and those from the same household. My 'speciality' is reassuring nervous dogs (as well as anxious owners!) I can be flexibly with my availability; whether you need regular weekday walks or occasional pet services. I work fully remotely so make a great daytime companion (I am a part-time researcher/ advocate for refugee rights). If you require a pet service not explicit on my profile do get in touch, I am always open to new ideas and learning new skills. I have had rescue dogs throughout my life, including "failed" police dogs and elderly dogs. Previously, I fostered Romanian rescue dogs, ahead of helping them find their forever homes. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with mobility and/ or health considerations. I already have some regular dog walking Clients but have recently gained capacity to take on more work (I am new to Rover). I am now also available for pet sitting whether at my home or yours. I have an enclosed garden, and my home is located a short distance from public footpaths and fields. After saying goodbye to my beloved fur-son last year I do not currently have pets myself (still too bereft!) I have a primary school aged child who is very used to dogs of all ages and sizes (but this would need to be considered ahead of overnight stays my home). I have 25+ years' experience caring for my own/ other people's pets, including in their own homes. As well as previously fostering Romanian rescue dogs, I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with health considerations. I am also highly experienced in working with vulnerable people. I hold an enhanced DBS check and my own insurance.
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 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: I have taken care of cars of every kind for 2years. Experienced with petting, feeding, playing and medication. I will take care your cat very well. My cat will be isolated upstairs so don’t worry about two cats fighting 😂 I currently have a full time work. So I’ll be available before 9am and after 5pm. So don’t hesitate to book 2 visit a day! I usually will play with the cat first so they will be friendly and familiar with me. Then I’ll feed the cat and stroke the cat Hi I'm currently WFH all week, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your cats! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays I have a fenced yard and if you are fine, the cat can have some fresh air in the garden with me watching 👀. Also, my cat will be isolated upstairs so don’t worry about two cats fighting 😂
About: Hi, I’m Michelle — a warm, friendly animal lover based in Canterbury. I live with my German Shorthaired Pointer, Otis, and two cats, Brownie and Peanut, so I’m very used to a busy, happy home with different personalities and energy levels. I’m new to offering dog care through Rover, but I bring years of real‑life experience as a dedicated pet owner. Living with both a high‑energy dog and calm, independent cats has taught me how to create a relaxed, safe environment where animals feel comfortable and understood. My approach is gentle, reliable, and calm. I’m easy to communicate with, and I’ll always make sure you feel updated and reassured while your dog is with me. I currently have plenty of flexibility in my week, which means I can offer reliable support for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and spending quality time with your animals. I live with my GSP and two cats, so I’m used to supporting pets with different needs and personalities. We have a safe, fully walled garden where dogs can relax and explore securely. I’m happy to separate animals when needed, and I can crate dogs safely and kindly — Otis used to be crated, so I’m very familiar with this. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. I enjoy taking dogs on both long, scenic walks and shorter, interesting routes depending on what suits them best.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Canterbury is £13

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.
