“We cannot thank Isabelle enough for the care she gave Jerry during our recent 3 week holiday. We received lots of updates and photos during this time, and it was clear Jerry was living his best life with her. To be honest, we think Jerry fell in love with Isabelle! We wholeheartedly recommend Isabelle, she loved and cared for Jerry as we do. We could not have asked for more. Our house was spotlessly tidy when we got home and we were greeted by the happiest of little dogs. Thank you Isabelle 💕”

About: I have loved dogs since I was tiny. I currently have 2 cockapoos of my own. My family are all dog lovers - from Alsatians to toy poodles! I have experience with training my own dogs as puppies as well as caring for older dogs. I work as a primary school tutor each afternoon, so I am free during mornings, mid afternoon and after 6pm. I live in Deal so can walk to local homes. Alternatively, I drive and have my own car so can drive to those that are further afield. As a pet owner myself, I appreciate the importance of following your pet's routine as closely as possible. I will make sure your home is secure. I will also check your pet's food and water, refreshing them as necessary. I will check and empty litter trays. My years as a primary school teacher have made me calm and patient - I would never force interaction with your pets that they do not want! I will send photos and updates via whatsapp after each visit.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we met Elizabeth, it was obvious how much she genuinely cares about animals. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after the entire time we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and little messages that gave us complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Elizabeth went above and beyond — not just covering the basics, but making sure our dog felt loved and comfortable in our absence. We came home to a very content pup and a spotless house. We would recommend Elizabeth without hesitation to anyone looking for someone caring, professional, and dependable to look after their pets. Absolutely outstanding service.”


“Anna and Josh were lifesavers. At short notice they were able to house sit for us. Josh was lovely. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dogs with him and they clearly had a lovely time. I would highly recommend!”

“Yu has a calm presence and is wonderful with our 2 whippets. She gives us plenty of updates and takes them for a solid run in a secure park nearby which they absolutely love. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and caring dog sitter.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets, primarily dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I am passionate about providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care! My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic medications, cleaning living areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I have cared for pets of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. Through these experiences, I have learned how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in stressful situations, and adjust care routines based on each pet’s specific needs. In addition to daily care, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent schedules, monitoring health changes, and communicating clearly with pet owners. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and the well-being of every animal in my care. Whether it’s ensuring proper portion sizes at feeding time or providing engaging exercise during walks, I approach every responsibility with patience and dedication. Pet care has strengthened my sense of responsibility, time management, and attention to detail. Most importantly, it has reinforced my belief that animals deserve kindness, respect, and dependable care at all times❤️ I have a very flexible schedule so please feel free to book on any day of the week and I will do my best to fit your fury friend in for walks, day care or over night stays! When caring for a pet in an owner’s home, my first priority is maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own space, so I make every effort to follow the owner’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. Consistency helps reduce stress and keeps the pet feeling secure. I always ensure doors, gates, and windows are securely closed to prevent escapes, and I double-check locks before leaving the home. I keep harmful items such as cleaning products, small objects, or unsafe foods out of reach. During walks or outdoor time, I stay alert to surroundings and use secure leashes or harnesses as instructed. Cleanliness is also very important. I regularly clean food and water bowls, refresh water daily, and keep litter boxes or living areas tidy. This helps prevent illness and keeps the home environment healthy for the pet. I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, appetite, and energy levels to quickly notice any changes that could signal stress or health concerns. If I observe anything unusual, I communicate promptly with the owner. Above all, I treat the owner’s home with respect and their pet with patience, kindness, and responsibility. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving the owner peace of mind knowing their home and companion are in safe, trustworthy hands.

“Lola looked after our dog for two days, both days we came back to a very happy and contented looking dog. When Lola came back the 2nd day, our dog greeted her like one of the family. Our house was also treated with respect and we came back both days to a very tidy house. We'll be very happy to have Lola come back and look after Maggie again!”


“First time having Sophie look after my temperamental Viszla, Amber, and it has worked like a dream. Regular updates from Sophie across the week so I knew Amber was happy. Came back to find both Amber and my home in a fabulous condition, and Sophie had even got Amber a toy that she loves. Thank you, Sophie, would definitely work with you again.”

“Sallyanne did an overnight stay in our home with our two little dachshunds. Bean & Bear took to her immediately & we felt very relaxed leaving the boys with her. We received regular updates & arrived home to 2 very happy boys who had had nice long walks and lots of attention. We would absolutely recommend Sallyanne - she’s brilliant!”

“Emma was a wonderful dog sitter. We booked for for a 5 night stay in our home while we were on holiday, caring for our 2 rescue French Bulldogs. After doing a couple of intro sessions, we had every confidence in her, and we weren't wrong. The dogs were unsettled by the change, only 2 months after we adopted them. We had builders in. One of the dogs has a medication regime and both dogs have personal care regimes to be followed. The dogs challenged Emma with chewing things in the first couple of days, and she took absolutely everything in her stride. She sent us photos, looked after the house, left it clean and tidy and had even stripped her bed when we got home! We can see for ourselves how well the dogs look, so we know Emma has really looked after them with their cleaning and medication. We'd have Emma in the home again without hesitation, and recommend her highly to others.”

“Krishen looked after Millie for a few hours while we were all out for the evening. He had walked Millie before so he understood her quirks and was OK with her wanting to just doze until we returned. Very respectful of our property and would definitely use his services again.”


About: Hi! I’m a genuine dog lover based in Dover, and I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs. I’ve had two dogs of my own, so I understand the responsibility, patience and care that comes with looking after someone’s beloved pet. I’m one of those people who seems to attract dogs wherever I go — and I absolutely love it! Whether your dog wants a long walk, some company and cuddles, or simply someone calm and caring around while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention they deserve. I currently work full-time, so I’m offering pet care around my working hours: • Dog walking after work • Drop-in visits after work for feeding, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles • Overnight stays on weekends • Lots of patience, affection and one-on-one attention I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always take the time to get to know your dog and follow the routine you’re comfortable with. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I’d want someone to give my own pets. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring and genuinely obsessed with dogs, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

About: I have over a year’s experience caring for dogs and have built a wonderful relationship with a regular client who trusts me to care for their dog on an ongoing basis. Alongside this, I regularly look after my own dog, as well as my sister’s and grandma’s dogs whenever they’re away, so I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I understand that every dog deserves love, attention and companionship. I couldn’t imagine a dog being left feeling lonely, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient and caring, and I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe and loving hands. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. I do occasionally have one-day photoshoots or events, but I always keep my diary up to date and never accept bookings that would clash. When you book with me in advance, you can be confident that your dog will receive my full attention, plenty of exercise, love and companionship throughout their stay. I’ll always communicate clearly with you and make sure your dog’s routine comes first. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my priority. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they stick to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any medication they may need. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention and companionship, ensuring they never feel lonely or unsettled. In my home, dogs have access to a large, secure fenced garden with both grass and patio areas to play and explore safely. I also have a friendly, well-socialised Cocker Spaniel who loves the company of other dogs, as well as a large crate and comfortable bed if your dog prefers their own space. I have dedicated fridge space for storing fresh food or any special dietary requirements, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy, safe and receiving the best possible care.
“Beau loves dogs and she connected with cooper immediately making him feel at ease. They settled straight in and he was content and happy from the offing. I would recommend Beau no problem”

“Such a great guy! He went above and beyond the call of duty today. I had to attend the funeral of my beloved brother and was very distressed and worried. Richard travelled a long way to get Vsashka to me and put up with my changing the instructions several time. Vsashka looked so relaxed in the garden and was so relaxed when he came back to me that I breathed a sigh of relief. I am so close to Vsashka that I worry when I cannot see him. But Richard is obviously a very skilled and kindly man and cares for the animals superbly. I highly recommend Richard to anyone who worries about their pet being looked after. Thank you SO much, Richard”

“Kayleigh is always completely reliable, punctual and caring. She knows our hounds well and they are always delighted to see her. She takes great care of them and sends photos and updates to keep us informed. She is a five star sitter.”


About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child , our house was filled with dogs (Jack Russells, Border Collie and Labradors, not all at the same time), horses, budgies, tortoises and even goldfish, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’m calm, patient and confident with all kinds of pets, and I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, loved and relaxed when they’re away from their owners. Whether your doggie requires companionship, regular walks or simply keeping to their routine, I will give every dog the same care and attention that I’d want for my own. I’m retired and at home all day, so your dog will have company, attention and a calm, settled environment. My home is quiet and relaxed, which makes it especially suitable for nervous dogs, older dogs or those who simply enjoy a slower pace. There are countryside walks on my doorstep and the beach isn't too far away if you don't mind me taking your dog there. I live on a quiet road with a small, secure fenced garden where dogs can relax safely. Countryside walks are right on my doorstep, giving every dog plenty of fresh air, gentle adventure and a peaceful change of scenery. 🐾 My Experience Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. I grew up in a home full of pets — dogs, budgies, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, you name it, we had it. Later, when I married, we had a succession of Dobermans who were very much part of the family. Our last one sadly passed away two years ago, and caring for other people’s dogs now brings me a lot of joy and purpose. Your dog will be treated with the same love, patience and respect I’ve always given my own.

About: Dogs think I'm their new best friend. Cats eventually decide I'm acceptable. Either way, your pets get plenty of care, attention, playtime and updates while you are away. I grew up with my doggie, Fudge. She would sit on my lap in the pram, deal with being dressed as a princess through my childhood and be the fur I cried into during the dreadful teenage years! Animals make our lives and we make theirs. Thats why as a sitter I treat your animal like they are my own childhood pup, providing love, adventure and time when you can't. I am a professional harpist so my day involves practicing my music and giving your pet lots of attention and love. My days are incredibly flexible so I can cater them to what your pet needs. I have a large paddock with lots of space for Zoomies, as well as a fenced off smaller garden to keep your pets safe. I live fairly rurally in the beautiful Kent countryside and I'm close to the beach if your doggie loves a swim!

Jason was really good at staying in contact while he was looking after Ruby & Dexter. The dogs seemed very comfortable around him & were clearly very happy in his care. They were fed & watered & walked just as we had requested. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to sit for other people’s pets, especially if you’re local to Deal. Thank you Jason!!

Isabelle was fantastic looking after my 2 cockapoos for the day whilst I was at a conference. They were very happy boys when I came home and Isabelle provided frequent updates - she did so well with them, my puppy Ralphy isn't for the faint hearted but he did not phase Isabelle, she has the doggy midas touch when it comes to behaving himself :)

What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Isabell is a lovely lady who adored my dog and looked after her in my home with the upmost care. I think Bella was spoilt rotten with fabulous walks and unlimited cuddles. I was able to relax on my holiday with photos arriving showing all the adventures they were having together. I can’t recommend Isabell enough, she was fantastic. Returned to a very happy dog and clean house. Thank you x
