“Dean took great care of our little Daisy, it was her first time at a Pet Sitters and he kept in contact with me sharing photos & reassuring me that she was fine. I will have no hesitation in booking Dean again - thank you Dean & family for taking such good care of her”


About: I have been looking after dogs since I can remember, within the family setting and have grown to really enjoy the dog world. From the aspiring Mexican dog whisperer to dog companionship, I am happy to care for your dog and provide what they need. It is important that the dog owner can entrust their dogs to someone who provides what has been asked for. I understand how important that is and I am more than happy to sit down and work through the guidelines that you need for your dog. I work around my dog walking schedule. Hence, it is important that we communicate well for further services. I am fairly flexible with my time, and I allow plenty of time in between bookings. I have a fenced yard for those dogs that are used to staying outside or just need a run. I am also happy to keep dogs in our living room and communal area. If needed, I can also come to your house and stay with the dog there.

“Sangeeta is a caring and loving sitter. when we went to meet her for meet and greet my dog Maya instantly warmed to her and she couldn't stop wagging her tail, she felt comfortable and loved from that moment on. She had a lovely stay lots of cuddles and walks. She kept in touch and was sensitive to my needs as I was going or a family funeral. Sangeeta was very accommodating and made Maya feel at home. I would definitely recommend her and use her again. PN :)”


About: I have been brought up around animals from a young age and love all animals. I have a cat called Taylee she is 4 years. I am on maternity leave currently and am free throughout the week for any needs such as drop ins or looking after pets. Please contact me. I live in a house with a high fence and gated garden. All animals in my care will be well looked after and I’ll make sure they are relaxed and have fun!

“Marlinde was so wonderful and reassuring while we were away. Our Salem cat seemed so happy when we got him home. Excellent communication and understanding while we were travelling. Would definitely leave him there again instead of a cattery!”


“Just picked up Lola after a 5 day stay with Natalia. This was her second stay and again she was a very happy girl. She had 3 walks a day and loved to play ball. Natalia kept us updated and frequently sent pictures that were very reassuring. Next time Lola will have a longer stay. Highly recommended.”


“Thank you to Alice for looking after my very old golden retriever for a few days while I was away. Alice was quick to reply to messages and kept me well updated with texts and photos. My dog was given lots of attention and walks and settled well. I would definitely recommend Alice as a dog sitter and would certainly book her again. ?”


“Zalihe was utterly brilliant in her care of our Norman whilst we were on holiday. She supplied us with great photos, videos and news of what he was up to! Would highly recommend. A 5 star service.”

We have doors that separate kitchen and living room. I can also walk dogs to moors and parks.

“Just wonderful ! I was in need of a sitter for our cat Zog at the last minute, and Candi was very quick to reply and let us know she’d be available. She consistently updated us about everything going on with our cat and sent us videos and photos all throughout. She also offered to pick up and drop off since we don’t have a car. Very enthusiastic about having him stay over which ensured he’s had a wonder holiday !! We are so happy Zog got to socialise with other cats too :) MOST DEFINITELY recommended and I now know who to contact were I ever to need a sitter again. Also - we would be happy to take care of your cats if needed :)! Very, very happy. THANK YOU !”


About: I’ve had dogs, cats and rabbits throughout my childhood. I currently own one dog - my cheeky puppy, Peanut (Labrador), and two cats, Monty & Jasper. My sister in law is a vet nurse and would be on hand to consult about any concerns. I myself have undertaken courses in animal behaviour and also nutrition. I know a good deal about cat & dog food quality and would be happy to advise if asked. I usually work from home and am needed in the office just 2 x a week, so can usually fit around your needs. My work is also in a school so during school holidays I am available all day. Regular photo/video/text updates on your pets are included for your peace of mind. I’m happy to fit in any small tasks you require such as collecting post or watering plants too!

About: About me: I work for Canenco Refuse Collection which is owned by Canterbury City Council. Look at animals like children. I give them a lot of attention, lots of love, care and play! I talk to them, I take care of them, I do everything for them! I can stay and look after your pets in your home while you are gone. I can look after your pets in your home of course if that's good for you! From my side everything will be more than perfect and accurate! You can trust me completely for your pet and for everything else! Monday to Friday after 3 PM Saturday and Sunday all day! I'm free during these times. You can message me during these times. I am available. I take care of them very carefully and lovingly! I love animals and their safety should be protected. Life is great when you have animals by your side.

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog Luna received from Herbie and Emma! Luna stayed with them for 4 nights and 5 days, they made sure she felt right at home. They kept us updated throughout her stay sending us lovely pictures and letting us know she was settling in, which gave us peace of mind. Herbie and Emma are such lovely and friendly people it was clear that Luna absolutely loved her time with them - she was so comfortable, happy and well looked after. We are so grateful for the wonderful care Herbie and Emma provided and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Very highly recommended!!”


“Bernard's just got back from his second stay with Kathryn. Fast to respond, friendly communication and lots of photos. Sounds like Bernard had lots of nice walks too. Thanks again and see you soon!”


About: I have carefully loved/cared for 5 dogs in my 24 yrs, and grew up walking the neighborhood dogs that were too big for extra money! I will always have a special place in my heart for big dogs but I love the little ones too! Dealing with animals is first nature to me and one of my greatest passions. I highly object to any animal mistreatment and abuse, I won’t be tolerant of this ok any level. I can work with any breed and I have personally worked with over 75+ in 10 yrs dog walking in the US. I grew up on a farm dealing with much bigger animals and bigger problems. I pride myself on my time management skills, organization and customer service! Give me a chance and let your dog make a friend out of me👍 This is one of the best parts of my day! I personally love any moments from dusk til dawn if dogs are involved! My own dog wakes me up and from that moment I begin my day. As a student I am available a large amount of the time as long as we can schedule in advance. Although if you catch me at the right time I may be ready and willing. As a pet owner and carer I live in a three story home, with small portable fenced in rock garden, all plants/pesticides have been hidden. I do have many plants but all hazardous/harmful ones remain in a closed room. I take dogs as they are and do not expect them to all be the same. I am an avid reader for facts on dog food and supplements favoring healthy snacks that clean canine teeth. I keep carrots in the house for dog purposes!!!! No dog is too strong I promise you, I grew up with family who bred pedigree German shepherds and was hired every possible weekend I could to walk and explore with the dogs at local parks, paths and ponds! I have expierence with dogs who are allergic and can’t prepare if informer before the visit or care is provided. I have multiple leads but prefer to walk dogs 1 at a time until familiarized with my pace and marks. I strong object to any form of animal cruelty or abuse and have 0 tolerances for anyone who partakes.

About: I have my own dog, and raised him from 8 weeks old. As a family we had dogs growing up and have always helped friends and family caring for their fur babies. I currently work full time with majority of my time working from home. If/when I go into the office I’m no longer than 4 hours. I have a secured garden, and a 2 year old cavapoo who loves meeting new friends. We offer lots of cuddles, play and enrichment activities.

“We recently had Grace look after our dog Milo. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided. From the moment we first connected Grace was incredibly friendly and understanding of our dog's needs. We felt completely at ease leaving Milo in her hands. As soon as we dropped Milo off he ran into her house very happily. Grace kept us updated regularly and when Milo came home he seemed very happy, fit and very well cared for. Milo would love to go back to Grace's for another holiday!”
