“Abby-Lee is amazing, we would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! She took a great care of our westie Gary during a drop in session. He had a great time and we got lots of updates, photos and videos. Abby-Lee is so lovely, everything from the initial message, booking to the actual visit went super smoothly. If you need someone to look after you dog, look no further, Abby-Lee is fantastic ❤️🌟”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Previous one had several behavioural issues due to being a rescue. Former dog walker for RSPCA. Recently dog sat/ house sat an incredibly energetic springer spaniel for 3 weeks. I have also helped friends with their rover dogs. I am a full time teacher. I can offer over night care and care in the half terms/ weekends. I have a great park near by and a car to transport. There is a walking trail behind my flat and an outside area for the dog to be can be let off but as it is not completely fenced they can also be on lead depending on comfort level. Pets are treated like family. The care instructions are followed to the letter. They will be taken out for at least 2 walks and given regular breaks in the outside part. Ground floor flat so no stairs for any dogs that may struggle.

“Frances dropped in and fed our cat while we were away. She did a wonderful job and Daisy - our cat - was well fed and happy while we were away. We’d happily book Frances again!”

About: I am attentive, loving and will treat your fur baby as if they were my own - with kindness and respect. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and owned 3 doggies of my own. I want to share my love and experience to help others out when they need a pet sitter. My history - I volunteered in an animal shelter for 8 years when I left school. My first dog was a boxer X staff, she was my best friend growing up, and lived for a very happy 16 years. We then rescued an ex police dog who was a beautiful Rottweiler. Despite his size and needs, he was a privilege to grace my family and I for 8 years. Due to the heartache of losing them being so tough, we decided to start fostering. I've had experience with Chihuahuas, Padencos, Rotties, Sausage Dog, Boxers, Dobermanns, Pug, Retrievers and various mix breeds - until they found their forever homes. Mostrecently fostered a 2 year old female Rottweiler for 5 months who has just left, so now I have some space to fill and love to give again ❤️ I live in Canterbury very close to the river and woodlands so there are plenty of walking spots, I have a secure front and back gated garden with high fences so no chance of canine escape artists! I am confident in administering any medications and preparing the meal of choice for the hounds. As I have experience with small and very large dogs - any breed or size is fine for me - as long as they are safe and not a danger to myself or others. If your fur baby isn't comfortable with other humans or being in different environments - that's ok... I will come to you and be best buddies with your pet whilst you are away. I am DBS checked and 100% respectful/trustworthy. My daily routine fits around the pet care! I have no other commitments other than my 2 legged babies school drop offs and pick ups I live very close to the river and woodlands in a cul-de-sac so there are plenty of quiet walking spots.

“Monica was super communicative about her drop-in care for our kitty while we were away. Our trip plans changed and she was super flexible. We would recommend her to others and will book her again!”

“Erika was absolutely excellent. I’ve had other sitters before but she went above and beyond to make sure that all my 4 cats were happy and eating well whilst I was away. She kept in regular contact with photos and updates and it was so nice not to feel worried at all about them whilst they were in her care. I one hundred percent recommend Erika, and will definitely book her again.”

“This was my first time using Rover and my first time getting a dog sitter. Hamilton loved meeting Poppy on their initial meeting and enjoyed spending time with her and her daughter at their drop in. She sent lots of photos and was in constant communication to make me feel reassured that everything was ok. Thank you so much Poppy, I will definitely be using you again!”

About: Diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking. I currently reside with Dolly the miniature pinscher, who is a rescue with one eye, with my 9 yr old son. Before Dolly, I had a Jack Russell named Rocky whose confidence outweighed his stature. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses and small furries in my years and treat them as family not just pets. I work full time but work from home half of the week. I am flexible with my working hours and can take lunch breaks when it is needed. I have a fenced back garden and am just a short hop from lots of local parks surrounding the River Stour. Any dogs in my home are welcome on sofas and beds and cuddles are free.

“Great service! Sophie is very friendly and Dolly took to her instantly ?”

About: I’m a dog lover through and through! I’ve had a Yorkshire Terrier my whole life, so I understand the love and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’ve also cared for a variety of my friends’ dogs, from big to small, which has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and care routines. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or ensuring they stick to their feeding schedule, I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. As a student at the University of Kent with plenty of free time, pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available on any day of the week !! Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or providing companionship, I’m excited to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Finding a job that lets me do that truly feels like a dream come true! I’m all about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m looking after them at their home or mine. I love to go on walks, so bringing a dog along is a win for both of us! If I’m at the pet owner’s home, I can drop by to feed, play, or take the dog for a walk—and I’m happy to stay overnight if needed. I can also have the dog come to my place during the day for some extra attention and fun. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home, wherever they are!

If you wish for pet boarding, I have a fully enclosed fence with the back door open all the time during the summer months so animals are able to walk in and out and sunbathe as they please. I also live near a farm with lots of lovely walks and fields for dogs to play in.

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.

“We asked Lina to look after our dog for a few hours and found her very friendly and knowledgable about a dog’s needs. She is clearly a dog lover and we felt content leaving our dog in her care. We will definitely be asking Lina to look after our dog again. Thank you Lina. Belle had so much fun.”
