Pet Sitting in Canterbury

“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.”

“Katrina & her sister (so sorry, wasn't sure how to spell your name) were fabulous! We have a nervous dog and they came to meet her first and carefully went through her needs / wants / quirks. They did a drop in to let her out for a wee and give her a spot of company to break up the day while we were out for a day trip. Katrina sent lots of photos and a detailed update which was very reassuring. I felt entirely confident in them and I will definitely be using them again! Thank you!”

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’m passionate about dogs and have been around them my whole life, growing up in a family surrounded by dogs. For the past 5 years, I’ve been helping friends, family, and clients care for their dogs, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes — from energetic puppies to large, gentle companions. I provide reliable, loving, and attentive care, including walks, feeding, playtime, basic training, and grooming. I always tailor my care to each dog’s personality and needs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. References are available upon request. I work from home, so your dog will always have company and care, just like my own. I carefully follow all owner instructions to ensure your pup stays happy, safe, and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can play freely, and I love taking them on long walks when needed. You can trust that your pup will be cared for in a loving, safe, and attentive environment. I work from home, so your dog will always have company and care, just like my own.

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 cared for our dogs from 8-10 weeks old so have experience in toilet training and behaviour training. My dogs are sadly no longer with us so I now have a pet free home. 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 also often care for my friends dogs when they are on holiday. Two of these being a Cane Corso and a Staffy. Both of which came to stay with me. One is crate trained and the other wasn't, but I am happy to adapt the care around your pets needs. As from Jan 26, I will be available Thursday-Sunday for walks & boarding also available Thursday-Sunday. Please check my calendar for weekly availability. I can also fit in pop ins and house sitting when needed. I will follow the routine you have with your pet as much as possible. If they are crate trained, you will need to provide the crate. I have a fenced garden for their use and lots of local walks so they will get plenty of exercise while here. My house is spacious enough for larger dogs. I will always be aware of safety in the summer- I will walk dogs early morning on hot days and always provide plenty of water and a cooling mat. I will love your dogs just as they were my own.

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

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. When walking dogs I am careful with meeting other dogs and ensure the lead is on.

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.

“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.”

“Manilyn was brilliant. It was the first time we’ve used Rover and she was so reassuring, coming for a pre-visit so we could explain everything and sending such lovely drop-in photos and cards when she visited. 100% recommend and would book her again. 5 star!”

About: I have taken care of my aunt's young, feverish dachshund since 2022, and I have been trusted to feed, bathe, walk, and play with him.

About: I’ve basically always had animals around me growing up, so being with pets just feels really natural to me. I’ve looked after everything from small pets to cats and dogs, and I honestly just love spending time with them. Over the years I’ve helped out with family and friends’ dogs quite a bit. Walks, feeding, sleepovers, the lot. So, I’m very used to fitting into their routines and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their humans are away. I’m one of those people animals tend to warm to quite quickly. I think it’s because I’m quite calm with them and I don’t rush things. I like letting them come to me in their own time, especially if they’re a bit shy or unsure at first. And yes… I am absolutely here for the cuddles, snuggles, belly rubs, and the occasional treat bribery (within reason, obviously 😌). I really enjoy just hanging out with animals and giving them proper attention, not just the basics. Walks are one of my favourite things too. I love getting out and about, finding nice routes, and letting dogs have a good explore depending on their energy levels. Whether it’s a big adventurous walk or a gentle wander, I’m happy doing either. My schedule is quite flexible, which means I’m available most days for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I can usually work around different routines pretty easily, so whether your pet needs a morning stroll, a daytime check-in, or evening company, I’m happy to help. Not having pets of my own at the moment because of my letting agreement is exactly why I love doing this. It means I still get to spend time around animals, make new furry friends, and enjoy all their different personalities Overall, I’m just someone who genuinely loves animals and enjoys looking after them properly. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and a bit spoiled while you’re away 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and I’m able to be flexible around the needs of the pets I look after. My work schedule is fairly adaptable, which means I can easily make time for visits, walks, feeding, and any extra care needed throughout the day or week. I’m good at building pet care into my normal flow rather than treating it as something separate or rushed. Whether it’s early morning check-ins, evening visits, or popping in during the day, I can adjust my routine to make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. I understand that every pet has their own rhythm, and I’m confident in working around that to keep things calm and reliable. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks, litter changes, play, and any specific instructions given by the owner. I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so I can make sure they stay settled and stress-free while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of safety and always keep a calm, consistent approach. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, follow any house rules closely, and keep an eye on anything that might affect the pet’s wellbeing. I also take hygiene seriously, keeping feeding areas clean, water fresh, and any mess or accidents dealt with properly and respectfully. Trust is a big part of pet sitting for me. I understand I’m coming into someone’s home and caring for a family member, so I act with respect, reliability, and clear communication. I’ll always update owners with how their pet is doing, so they feel reassured while they’re away. My aim is simple: keep everything familiar, calm, and safe, so the pet experiences as little disruption as possible and can just carry on being themselves in their own space.
