About: I’m a seasoned dog sitter who adores both bouncy puppies and gentle senior dogs. From walkies and mealtimes to cozy sleepovers, I’ve got it covered. One of my favorite furry friends, a deaf and blind senior dog, even became my full-time companion and came to live with me—we had a blast together! Whether your dog needs extra cuddles or a fun adventure, I’m here to make their stay special. I work from home in a semi-self-employed role, so my schedule is flexible. With a bit of notice, I can be available for daytime care, walks, or multi-night sleepovers—whatever your pup needs! My home in Deal, Kent, is a doggy paradise near the beach, with a securely fenced garden for safe play. We live on a peaceful estate, perfect for leisurely strolls with older dogs or exciting outings to the beach or nearby country park for the more adventurous. I’m a confident driver, so visits or special trips are no problem. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.

“Alfie instantly warmed to Isabelle and she took great care of him for the day! When we picked him up he was happy and relaxed after a day of nice long walks and lots of attention. Isabelle was a pleasure to meet and we would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter in the area.”


“Tamara was great with Moose. We met for a coffee a day before and instantly knew he’d be in great hands. Excellent communication through the day and he was worn out when we got home so I knew he’d had a lot of fun playing all day! Would 100% recommend”


“Helen and her husband looked after our 4-month-old cocker spaniel, Arlo. I couldn’t recommend them enough, Arlo had a great time and came home well-exercised and happy! They provided us with updates throughout the day to ease our worries about leaving him with someone for the first time. Arlo will certainly be visiting again soon! Thank you very much ??”


“I was very lucky to find Christine and that she was available to look after Lollie. It was short notice and really helped me out whilst I attended a funeral & family gathering. Lollie can be sensitive but I knew immediately Christine and her husband would be kind and gentle with her. Lollie was as happy as I’ve seen her going to someone she doesn’t know. Photos of Lollie were sent to reassure she was absolutely fine. Thank you so much.”


“I was nervous leaving my dog with someone else, but Agnieszka looked after her really well. She was kind, caring and calm - you can tell she loves dogs and her own, Pumpkin, is adorable. When I met Agnieszka she asked all the right questions about my dog's needs and made adjustments during the stay to make her feel comfortable and well looked after. Very happy (and relieved!) - thank you Agnieszka!”


About: I grew up with several dogs and was always the one to take responsibility for walking them, feeding them and giving them loving attention. I have always loved dogs and have a deep affinity with them and pride myself on being able to communicate with them exceptionally well. I am also currently in the process of undertaking a course in animal communication. I am very relaxed around dogs and it feels very natural for me to spend time with them and look after them. In adulthood I spent years looking after my grandmothers tiny Bolonese dog and had great joy doing so. Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Since I am self employed and spend most of my time at home, looking after dogs would work perfectly well for me. Since I am always walking throughout the day also it makes sense for me to have a dog with me also. I am rarely out at night so I would always be around to give dogs company and attention. I love being around dogs so this would work very well for me. I have a fenced back yard which is very safe. The house itself is safe with just me, my husband and my 16 year old son living here. And we all love dogs.

About: As an experienced dog owner and sitter, I really understand what dogs need, especially those high-energy ones like my Irish Setter! What makes me stand out is my personalised approach - I always tailor the care based on your dog’s unique personality and energy levels. Whether your puppy needs a bit of structure with basic training or your older dog just needs some gentle love and care, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well looked after. And since I’ve got plenty of experience with energetic dogs, I’m always up for long walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise! I love building a bond with each dog I look after, so they feel comfortable and have fun, whether they’re staying with me or we’re off on an adventure together! As a self-employed artist with flexible working hours, I have the freedom to adapt my schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it’s providing daytime companionship, early morning walks, or evening care, I can easily adjust my routine to ensure your dog gets the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. My flexibility allows me to give your pet the care they deserve, whenever it fits best into your schedule. When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure they get plenty of attention and stick to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply being present, I aim to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner. During walks, I focus on more than just exercise-I also provide mental stimulation. We might explore new routes, practice some tricks, or engage in interactive play to keep their minds as active as their bodies. And for high-energy dogs, I love offering energetic, long walks with plenty of play and running around, ensuring they get the activity they need to stay happy and healthy.

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years now and often will look after other family members dogs and friends dogs, ranging from puppies to my 11 year old Labrador. I currently work from home, so am very flexible in either working from your home or can pop in / walk your dog at any time that suits you I have a fenced back garden and a friendly Labrador, I am happy to tailor any needs to your dog to make you and your dog feel comfortable

“Pippa loved the time she spent with Laura and was excited to go back the second day. We received regular updates and videos of Pippa playing, which helped us relax after leaving her for the first time.”

About: I've been walking/caring for dogs of friends and family for some time now. I love having dogs in the house and going for walks. I treat any dog in my care as if it were my own. Don't hesitate to get in touch and let me know if you have other things you'd like to know about me 😀 I work from home and hav time and capacity to care for dogs at home and/or do walks on weekdays and the occasional weekend. I live with my wife and our 4 year old and in the future we hope to welcome a dog into the family, so it would be really fantastic to support dog owners whilst getting to know some different breeds before we make this big, exciting commitment. I can care for dogs at home who wouldn't mind hanging out in the home office and are good with young children. However, I am flexible to walk any type of dog because it would just be myself on the walks. This way I can give a dog what they need and individual attention and care. Working at home I would love some canine company! When looking after pets in the home they always have their own space available where our son is not allowed to go to, so they always have a calm/private space away from the family. They're also welcome to be part of the family if the prefer and we love to play/cuddle/chill out with whichever dog is in our care. Essentially it's dog-led and I respect that, especially when the dogs don't know me well yet. On the walks I'll always keep dogs on lead unless explicitly discussed otherwise and can do whatever type of walks are better for the individual dogs - woods, long, short, beach, just round the block.
