“Mark took great care of our British Bulldog, Vinnie in Doggy Day Care. It was great to receive photos and updates on Vinnie’s day, and to see him settled and happy. Vinnie looks forward to his next stay with you soon!”

About: I have been fostering dogs, old, young, and sick for 5 years. We adopted our lurcher 2 years ago. He is a playful 2 year old, so I need to use treats/ and discipline quite a lot. I have had dogs growing up, and just love to be around all types of dog. I’m at home most of the time. Not currently back at work after maternity leave. I take my dog out at least once a day. So can fit something in most days! I have a fully fenced garden and gate. The house is open plan, however if you need your dog cornered off or my dog cornered off we have baby gates everywhere to help with that.

“Dilla had a great day with Syliva, and even got to hang out with another dog friend. Sylvia was really great communicating throughout the day and sending updates, as well as getting to know Dilla’s likes and dislikes. Thanks again!”

About: Hello my name is Anna, look forward to meeting you I love animals and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes and care needs. Have been around and looked after family pets from a young age and know what it takes to care for your pet. I grew up with dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs and regulary visited my auntie and grandparents who had cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. Ive looked after many neighbours and friends pets over the years. And was devoted to my nans miniture schnauzer, walking and caring for her on a regular basis. Happy to do both cat and dog sitting. I live close to a local park, which is dog friendly and great for them to stretch their legs and take in the smells. I am very active and love a good walk. Please feel free to message me for a chat, and get too know each other. I will do my best to accomidate you and your pets and happy to meet up beforehand to see if its a good fit. I currently work shifts so have a lot of time off between work and looking to do something in my down time. Can do overnight stays, days and some weekends I unfortuently dont have any pets at home but I do drive and very happy to come to you. I am very kind and caring and would love to look after your pets

“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.”

“Can’t recommend Victoria & family enough. We were visiting the area for a couple of nights & needed dog care for one of the days so we could explore without worrying about leaving Noodle alone all day. Victoria looked after Noodle very well, kept us updated & looks like he had a great time. Thank you ☺️”

About: Hello, my name is Denitsa (Deni). I’m one of those slightly crazy people who will always smile at your dog when we walk by. I absolutely love animals — I always have. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats and spent my whole childhood and youth caring for them. My most recent dog was a wonderful 7-year-old Cocker Spaniel, whom I had traveled all the way to Bulgaria and back to bring home. I lost her very suddenly, and I am still grieving. Although I’m not emotionally ready to have another dog of my own, my love for these amazing creatures — beings with unique consciousness and emotions — remains as strong as ever. That’s why I decided to create this profile: to share my time, care, and affection with a furry companion from time to time. I enjoy long walks and would be delighted to have a fluffy friend join me. I take care of only one dog at a time (or two–three if they’re from the same family), so your dog will receive my full attention and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet. I currently work from home, so your beloved dog and I will keep each other company throughout the entire day — little friends sharing time, attention, and comfort. I am available for boarding anytime. I offer a calm, safe, and attentive environment where your dog can feel secure and happy. Because I work from home and spend most of my time here, your pet will never be left alone and will enjoy consistent companionship throughout the day. We go for long morning and evening walks on the East Cliff greens or Sunny Sands beach, with a shorter lunchtime walk on the nearby green. The rest of the day is spent peacefully together. In my workspace, I have a large, cosy bed where your furry friend can nap comfortably while I work nearby. I accept only one dog at a time (or two–three from the same family), ensuring your pet receives my full attention, affection, and supervision. Whether for boarding or daytime care, your dog will be in a warm, structured, and caring environment tailored to their comfort and well-being.

“Allegra had a wonderful time! Great updates and communication from Sophie. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Olivia took excellent care of my 2 cockapoo babies for the day. She sent regular updates , which allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. Would definitely recommend and use her again when having our next Kent breakaway. Thank you x”

About: Dogs are a big part of my life. My partner and I always have at least one dog in our home! I love to play with them, train them and care for them. I have been through all stages of dog lives from their very first steps, and opening their eyes to saying goodbye to the precious four legged pal. Dogs are my great love. Seeing them enjoy their time on a good run, jumping up from joy with the muddy paws after an early morning swim in freezing cold water is great fun. Muddy puddles after a long walk on the Warren or around the Martello tower and a smelly car.... All stored in "best day ever" folder in my mind. I love it and want to give some of that to you and you four legged friend. I will take your furry friend on amazing fun adventures in and around Folkestone Hythe and Ashford. Happy Walks Happy Dogs! I am available during the day but also at all these less common hours when you need that help with your pet. I do early morning/late evening walks if that’s what you and your pooch need. Young puppies are much welcomed by Butter our Labradoodle. They will be safe and cared for at all times with Butter and mummy Boo. I am a walker and carer by nature. I try to accommodate the needs of every dog I meet and care for. As a start I would come and meet you, to get to know you and your furry baby. If you choose me to be part of your pooch's life I will go for a one-to one walk getting to know your pouch better. Over time I will learn what suit them best, what locations and company they like and potentially introduce them to other dogs I walk. I am DBS checked, Insured and as said reliable loving and caring.

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.

“Boycie was always welcomed and well cared for. Ashley was very patient throwing the ball again and again and again for him!! He came home having had a good day.”

About: Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives. We currently have a 19-year old senior (Edie), and 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi. I have a qualification in Pet First Aid and Dog CPR. I am fully insured by Protectivity. We have extensive experience with senior dog care and sighthounds. We are fortunate to live in close proximity to the Kent Downs, and the beautiful Kent countryside, near lots of woods and walking distance to the coast. We love to get out in the fresh air as much as possible and would welcome your furry friends to come with us. There are also plenty of dog parks near our house, and we have booked private fields in the past which can be arranged. We only take 1 or 2 dogs from the same household, to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Edie likes the quiet life, and mostly sleeps in Tom’s office with him during the day. Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laid back, and is happy to watch playtime from the sofa! Both are good at sharing toys and snuggling. As with most sighthounds, after a short burst of energy, they love to snuggle up for the next few hours! Caring for animals is my priority, dog sitting and walking is my full-time focus. I live with my husband, who mostly works from home and has a flexible schedule. Depending on your preference, we can either go out together on group walks with our dogs (2 adults, plus one or two of our dogs, with your dog), or I can take your dog(s) on a solo walk. Whatever works best for your dog. Your dog will be with humans the majority of the time they are here, receiving love, care and attention. A typical day for us, We usually wake around 6am, have cuddles with our dogs and feed them their breakfast. Then we head out for our early morning walk (usually 1 - 2 hours). After that our boys tend to sleep til lunch time. We usually have then playtime, followed by more napping. We then take a second walk before or after their tea. Then toy time and tucked in bed around 9pm. As we have 2 lurchers our garden is very secure with high fences. There are comfy sofas in both rooms on the ground floor, plus dog beds, plenty of room to relax. If you like your dogs to be crated at night, there is room to add these. Our dogs sleep in one room, your dogs would have their own doggy bedroom (ground floor). We also have a room on the first floor for dogs that need a snug quiet space of their own.

“Allie had another lovely stay with Helen! Settled in well and seemed to thoroughly enjoy her time there. We really appreciate the communication and updates, especially the photos. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

About: Hey, my name is Jay. I have a Black Lab called Mabel and a German Shep called Martha. Both of whom are well behaved and trained myself / in training. I offer a variety of services and am blessed to have lot's of facilities to my, and your pet's, advantage. Including a Land Rover kitted out for transport should it be required, as well as a stunning location based at the bottom of the White Cliffs of Dover allowing for lot's of walks along the cliffs, into the fields or along the beach and even a swim! Alternatively we can go directly into town. My property is also big enough to have a very private garden with 6+ foot walls surrounding the place ensuring it is very secure. I also house a parrot, variety of fish and in the past have had multiple hamsters and too many guinea pigs and rabbits to count! I love animals and would be honoured to take care of yours! P.S - as a bonus I provide quality photography of your pet if requested, free of charge! Just a little extra for booking with me. You can see some of my imagery on my profile! :) I’ve recently taken a significant amount of time away from my regular work to care for my own dogs and dedicate my time fully to animal care. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pet my full attention, day or night, alongside my own animals. I provide a safe, structured, and highly attentive environment for every pet in my care, whether in my own home or the owner’s home. At my home, pets are looked after in a secure property with a large private garden enclosed by 6+ foot walls, ensuring safety at all times. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I am able to give them constant supervision and interaction throughout the day. They have access to regular walks tailored to their needs, including local field walks, coastal walks along the White Cliffs of Dover, and beach outings where appropriate. I also ensure they have a calm space to rest and settle comfortably inside the home. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in familiar surroundings. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, medication if required, and plenty of companionship. Across all services, I prioritise safety, consistency, and individual attention. I have experience with a range of animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they are well cared for, stimulated, and happy throughout my time with them.

About: I have been brought up around dogs and more recently my partner and I volunteered at a dog shelter with over 100 dogs, we spent a month learning dog behaviour, cleaning, feeding and walking gentle giants. We are both calm natured and believe love and kindness bring out the best in dogs. We have been around rescue dogs that have nervous tendencies and they learnt to trust us over the time we were volunteering. We are avid walkers so we are happy with energetic dogs, also love cuddles for the lazier ones. I am currently working from home freelance so I have a lot of time and can work from anywhere. We are both very flexible and can happily stay out. I have a lot of experience with dogs big and small, I will be able to walk, feed and give your pets the attention and love they need and want. My weekly routine is very flexible due to the nature of my work and working from home. I am able to choose my hours of work I welcome pets into my home as if they were my own, I have a small garden they can run around in with high walls so owners will be confident that their pets will be safe in my home and garden I have a ground floor flat with it’s own entrance and private garden.
