Pet Sitting in Dover

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.

About: Hello! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover with experience looking after my own cats, as well as caring for those belonging to family and friends. Although I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m calm, responsible, active, and happy to follow your dog’s routine and any specific instructions to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I absolutely love animals and know how much they mean to the people they share their lives with, so I’ll treat your dog or cat with the same care, kindness, and respect that I give my own pets. I also have a DBS check for extra peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re apart. As a self-employed creative freelancer, I have quite a flexible schedule, which means I can often fit around walking and drop in pet-care (maybe other pet sitting in the future) I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only take on bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion—what makes your furry person happy makes me happy! 😊 My week will change each week as I’m self employed, so I work pet care around my work. But I will never take a booking when I know I’m down to work near that time. But i can do early mornings from about 7AM until about 6PM (sometimes a little later the summer). All days - working round my various hours in-between. Let me know if your cat or dog has any issues, if they are shy or anxious around certain things. Or if they like to do certain things, favourite places, toys, etc. For dogs how long the walk should be, for cats, for a drop in - if they need feeding or have an ‘in time’ (it’s a thing!) …or anything else related 😊

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.

“Abigail came for a one off pop in visit. She bonded well with the hounds and was very affectionate towards them. She was punctual and good at responding to instructions. I would definitely book her again.”

“Hannah is the most caring and attentive doggy sitter! We left our beloved girl, Wilma, in her care whilst Wilma was unwell and needed medication and eye drops administered, nothing was too much for Hannah. She was attentive and listened to all the care institutions and followed these, which gave us a peace of mind she was very well cared for. She gave us regular updates and lots of photos daily. Thank you so much Hannah from us and Wilma, you are the best:-)”

About: Hi there, I grew up surrounded by horses cats dogs fish and hamsters and love them all. I’m a regular cat sitter currently and resting between acting jobs so ready to go. I work part time as a supporting artist in films so pet care work fits in perfectly with that. I’m also used to getting up very early so any need for dawn feeds/ walkies etc won’t be a problem. I always follow care instructions to the letter, especially locking up a front door etc.. I double and triple check to make sure. That might be a bit OCD but better safe than sorry.

About: I have cared for dogs of sizes and breeds, experienced in dog care, providing a safe, caring, fun and loving home for short or extended stays. I run my own freelance business in the equine industry, allowing full flexibility to meet each dog’s individual needs with attentive, reliable, and personalised care. I offer a secure fenced garden, a friendly resident dog for companionship, and a spacious home where your dog can roam freely, relax, and feel completely at ease.

“Emma arrived on time and spend time with my lovely Vsashka. He is not very well and I was very relieved to be able to rely on Emma to visit him and keep him happy whilst I went to a Podiatrist. I will certainly keep her on file and use her whenever I need Vsashka looking after. It is a great relief to have someone so caring and efficient to rely on. Thank you SO much, Emma!”

About: I have had dogs for most of my life from big to small and know that they are an important part of your family. Having recently lost our 2 border terriers I find myself missing the pleasures of having a dog around the house. I would love to care for your dog during the day when you are unable to do so. I am now retired and have the time to give your dog the attention it needs, from long walks, cuddles and chill time. You can be rest assured that you beloved pet will be looked after. Being retired means that I can look after your dog five days a week and I am available from early in the morning until late in the evening. I live a large town house with a back garden that the dogs can use, they will have the lounge, utility room and garden at their disposal. I also live 2 minutes away from Connaught Park where I will take them for walks as well as other nearby walks.

About: Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I am passionate about all animals and throughout my life I have had all kinds of pets with a lot of experience of caring for dogs and cats. I also have good knowledge of birds, reptiles, and small furry pets. I live with my husband in Dover, we currently have our own dogs, fish and a parrot. They are part of the family. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around the local countryside and coastal areas. I treat every pet like family. I’m confident with puppy care, basic training, and keeping to routines, as well as understanding the calmer support that senior pets often need. For cats, I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, and respecting their individual personalities — whether that’s playful companionship or quiet reassurance. My goal is always the same: happy, safe pets and peace of mind for their owners I am available every day for drop-ins, playdates, walking for all your furry friends. Mornings, evenings and weekends with at least three days notice 🐾 I am professional and caring and have worked in social care for over 20 years, good communicator and very flexible. Available for Dog walks, drop ins, feeding and socialisation. Happy to arrange a meet up and short visit/walk for peace of mind and a pawsome experience for your fluffy friends, please get in touch. Respectful of owners wishes and property, ensuring all pets are well cared for and always safe

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.

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.

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.

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.
