“Paris was brilliant with Ruby! She came for an introduction the day before, which was lovely as it gave her the chance to get to know Ruby, and Ruby took to her friendly manner straight away. While she was looking after Ruby, she kept in touch with us and sent updates, which was really reassuring as it was our first time leaving her with someone. I would highly recommend Paris. She’s clearly a genuine animal lover and looked after Ruby as if she were her own. We felt completely confident that Ruby was in safe hands and would definitely use her again!”

“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.”

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: I offer a highly versatile, confident, and reliable approach to pet care. My experience spans the entire spectrum of the canine world, meaning your dog—no matter their size or personality—will be in expert hands. ❄️ Arctic Sled Dog & Pack Experience I have unique, hands-on experience managing a pack of working Huskies during a sledding expedition in the Arctic Circle of Sweden. This involved looking after my own team and assisting with the wider pack in extreme conditions—handling everything from feeding and harness management to understanding complex pack dynamics and high-energy behavior. 🏡 Gentle Care for Smaller Breeds While I'm entirely confident with large, high-energy breeds, I am equally experienced in providing the gentle, attentive care required for smaller dogs. I have extensive experience looking after two small dogs, meaning I completely understand the finer details of small-dog care—from keeping a watchful eye on them around bigger dogs to managing their specific exercise routines and making sure they feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly pampered. Whether your dog needs a high-energy handler who can match their stamina, or a calm, comforting companion for cuddles and structured routines, I adapt perfectly to what they need. As a part-time personal trainer, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to your pets. Because fitness is my job, I have the stamina and energy for long, active walks, making me the perfect fit for high-energy dogs who love to explore and burn off energy! I can easily structure my day around your dog's specific routine, feeding times, and exercise needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I treat their property and their routine with the utmost respect, ensuring doors are locked, feeding schedules are met precisely, and the environment remains calm. On walks, my background as a fitness professional means I am alert, physically strong enough to handle large or pulling dogs safely on a lead, and fully focused on keeping your dog secure and happy at all times.

“Emma has been fabulous as always! So responsive to messages and always gives a lovely summary of her visits alongside gorgeous photos of the cats. So trustworthy, and we will continue to book in with her 🐾❤️🐾”

About: I grew up with Boxer dogs, and have experience house sitting and dog walking. I enjoy long walks along the coast, and would love some 4 legged company. If you would prefer us to stay indoors, please let me know what music and TV they enjoy, sometimes it helps to have something you watch on in the background. I'm currently working part time, I enjoy morning walks, and would love a 4 legged friend to join me. I have alot of flexibility, and can be avaliable at short notice. For walks, it is good for your dog to meet me, and see how we get on. I always have doggy bags and treats! Ask as many questions as you need to.

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: I have had dogs and cats in my home since I was a small child alongside guinea -pigs, rabbits and chinchillas. Since living on my own (10yeard) I have had recue cats in my home and often looked after friends and family's animals by house sitting or walking them. For the last 2 years I have fostered dogs from the Charity Dogs Trust and have had basic training in grooming, giving medication and basic behavioural recognisition. I am most experienced with reactive dogs and those with anxiety. I currently work from home and only recently moved to Folkestone so I am looking to have some companionship and floofy cuddles during the day. Plus living opposite the beach there are loads of beach side walks and what better friend then a doggo to take with me. I have a flat with a roof terrace as well as access to the beach and no other pets currently so your fur baby will have a safe, quiet environment. I do have a crate if needed but usually let the floors on the sofa or in a Doggy bed. I drive so can pop into your home to pick up a pet if needed for walks or check ins. My neighbours don't have dogs either so reactive dogs should be happy too.

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.

“Here's a positive review you can use for Jasmin: I recently had the pleasure of having Jasmin care for our two cats for the second time, and I couldn't be more pleased! From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She took perfect care of our cats, ensuring they were fed, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. Throughout her stay, we stayed in contact, and she provided regular updates, which gave us peace of mind. Jasmin is not only responsible and trustworthy but also a kind and caring person. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you!”

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.

I also ensure they have a calm space to rest and settle comfortably inside the home.
