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.

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:-)

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: Hello, my name is Sydney and Im a massive animal lover looking to provide top care and walks for your furry friends. I now live in Dover but I have grown up and lived in Lyminge for almost 20years, Lyminge and the surrounding areas has my heart as well as some of the best local walks. Having grown up in a household full of both dogs and cats, I don't just "watch" pets—I understand them. I know the difference between a high-energy pup who needs a power walk and a senior soul who just wants some gentle company and a potty break. I currently work Monday to Friday, but my goal is to dog walk and pet sit full time. I'm available for early bird or evening walks aswell as full weekend availability. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I hold a recently renewed DBS certificate, and I’ve earned the trust of friends and family for years by providing highly personalized care. I don’t believe in 'one size fits all' walks; I ensure every outing is tailored to your dog's specific energy levels, temperament, and health needs.

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

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.

This was our first time using Rover and only booked Petra for one drop in, but Theodore was much happier when we got home than when we have left him in a cattery. Petra sent photos and a voice note to update us so that was comforting ? very pleased and would definitely recommend and use again.

Charlotte is amazing! My shy tortie took to her immediately, and both my cats were confident with her. Updates were detailed, and she sent some lovely photos. The cats have a new friend, and I have a super cat sitter who I can totally rely on. Thank you, Charlotte!

About: I have been brought up around both cats and dogs since I was born, both small and big dogs; therefore I have great experience with all types of dogs. I enjoy exercise therefore this will be a good benefit for both me and you, getting both me and your pet the best walk. I am also a bit of a giant so any size dog is good for me to walk as none of them can overcome me and run off. I currently work shift work in care and I need a few extra hours a week/day to be able to top up my payslip a little I will be looking after in your own home, therefore they are comfortable in their own space and I will ensure that they are comfortable with me being in their space

About: I’ve grown up around animals, hamsters, birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, horses. I am happier around animals than I am people most of the time! Being a shift worker I know how hard it is trying to find a walker or someone to call in when you have to work. Now that I have no pets at home it’s a chance for me to help someone else and get all the walks and play and cuddles from other peoples gorgeous animals As a shift worker I get different days off so I can be very flexible. I can help out on awkward dates. I am used to early mornings and late nights and can be about during the day when other people aren’t I have always had dogs and have a secure garden and surrounded by fields and great walking around the village and over the fields. I have no issue with dogs on the sofa!

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, fish and chickens so genuinely love all animals. I have a car, so I am able to visit on short notice or walk your pooch further afield. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs (my sister has Irish Wolfhounds) so am very capable whatever the size of animal. Can't offer my flat out (due to the cat) but am happy to house sit for up to a week (with notice). Please feel free to get in touch to discuss further or if you have any other questions about me. I'm a freelancer who works from home with a cat I wish I could walk. I tend to travel a lot for work, but am very free during the winter and long periods in the summer. I have a fenced garden that is medium sized, but the dog would have to be able to get on with my cat. She is friendly.

About: I have always grown up.with pets in the house and mainly they have been XXL size dogs. This makes it a lot easier when it comes to looking after other people's pets especially if they are on the larger side. I currently do a house sitting for a lovely bull mastiff cross Rottweiler and he just loves the time we get to spend together. Please feel free to ask anything else you might want to know I've just currently been made redundant so am looking to just fill my time between finding another job. I will of course keep doing this where possible once I know what my new working schedule will be. I currently have 2 indoor cats so as you can imagine the main priority it making sure they don't attempt the great escape so I'm very conscious of doors and windows being opened. Where they are indoors cats it does mean they need more playtime and interaction so that's never a problem, most of my free time will be playing with them or giving them love
