House Sitting Herne Bay

“Alex was INCREDIBLE! This was our first experience of using Rover and it was perfect, mainly because of the care and attention Alex gave to Charlie. She went through everything thoroughly, what he needs were, what his likes, dislikes and the she instinctively knew how to treat him. Prefect communication, we had lots of messages whilst we were away, with lovely pictures! Excellent knowledge of dogs and Charlie's 'Breed' (or non breed as he is a total hotch potch!) Also my house was truly taken care of, prefectly tidy and it felt looked after too! Can't recommend her enough and we have already booked again :)”

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I enjoy being outside everyday and take my friend's dog Molly for walks everyday. I have looked after Molly for one year now, including sitting, walking, feeding, bathing...I also have two cats, Mia and Milo which I have had since they were kittens. I love how independent and relaxed they are and enjoy them being around while I am working. I am friendly, reliable and punctual. I have a full-time job remotely so have a lot of free time. I am usually free either early mornings or late afternoons everyday. I can take up more responsibilities on my days of which are sometimes weekends and other times days during the week. As long as we agree and plan before hand, I will find a way to accommodate your needs. Sadly, I do not offer care for pets in my home as I already have a dog and two cats. However, in emergencies, I can accommodate.

About: Hi, I'm Paris! I'm a dedicated and passionate 3rd year vet student studying in Guildford. I'm a huge lover of all animals, but am especially partial to doggies. I like to work with all different types of dog and strive to keep them engaged and entertained whether on walks or at home. Being a vet student has some perks as I've learnt about animal behaviour and welfare as well as how to properly care for your animal. Growing up I've had a variety of animals from fish and guinea pigs to dogs cats and horses many of which have been rescues, so am confident in my ability to deal with different animals with different temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, exercise and companionship, and I strive to create a safe loving environment for every pet I look after. I am also a qualified dog first aider and work as a small animal veterinary hospital so I have hands on experience working with poorly pets and pets with increased needs which reassures you your dog is in safe hands. As part of dog walking services, walks can be from 30 minutes up to an hour and a half dependent on the indivdual dog's needs and as discussed with owner. Off lead walking is dependent on how comfortable the owner is and how developed the dogs recall is, this however will be discussed with the owner. I am also available to do house visits in which I can let out your pooch, feed and provide some company for them. Or pet sit in which I care for them for a prolonged period of time, duties would then be discussed with owner. Whether its feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply offering cuddles I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time across the road from my house so am close by so will have plenty of time to play with your pups etc. I will take them on walks and enrich them or just give them a cuddle if they need it. I like to understand what kind of personalities I’m looking after prior to understand how to best care for the animals

About: I have an elderly Yorkshire Terrier whom I have cared for since she was a puppy, so I am very experienced in providing consistent, long-term care for a much-loved pet. She is a gentle and affectionate dog who enjoys plenty of attention and companionship, and looking after her has reinforced the importance of patience, routine, and creating a calm, reassuring environment. As she is now blind, I also have hands-on experience supporting a pet with additional and more complex needs. This includes being mindful of her surroundings, maintaining a safe and predictable home environment, and adapting my approach to ensure she remains comfortable and confident. Caring for her has strengthened my ability to be attentive, responsive, and sensitive to subtle changes in behaviour or wellbeing. Overall, this experience means I am very comfortable adapting to the individual needs of different animals, and I am committed to providing thoughtful, reliable care tailored to each pet’s specific requirements. I currently work from home full time, which allows me a high level of flexibility in arranging visits to the property. I am available from 6pm each evening and can stay overnight until 6am. I also have greater availability and flexibility over weekends. I will be available for daily check in's to play with your pet. Each pet sitting expereince will be different and I will tailor my care based around your requirements. I will ensure both you and your pets needs are listened to and followed. I will provide updates via whatsapp with photos of your pet whilst you are away.

“Olivia was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her. Her communication throughout was excellent, she was very flexible around my needs, she did such a great job at dog sitting, and she went above and beyond by doing additional tasks to help me out. Totally awesome all round.”

I currently live with two biewer terriers at home and love them lots, I’ve also had a range of dogs since I was born (small and large) including jack russels, and blood hounds.

“Richard is great with my two rescue dogs, Peggy and Winston. They’re still settling in and Winston can be nervous in new situations, but have very quickly settled with Richard. He’s friendly and reliable, and accommodating at short notice. Highly recommended.”

“Grace looked after both our home and our black Labrador, Gryff, while we were away, and we couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. From the outset, Grace was reliable, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. It was clear that Gryff was well cared for, happy and relaxed when we returned home. We particularly appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our home was also looked after exceptionally well and was clean, tidy and exactly as we had left it. It was reassuring to know that both our dog and our home were in such capable hands. We would have no hesitation in recommending Grace to anyone looking for a caring and dependable house and pet sitter, and we would be delighted to use her services again in the future. Thank you, Grace!”

“Ella did a great job watching our cockapoo. She was able to fit us in very last minute and followed all our instructions. Would definitely get her to sit again!”

For many years, I provided care for my own pets at home, as well as neighbours' pets, and occasionally strays, a full menagerie who I miss to this day! I'm also happy administering medication, should this ever be necessary. I live inbetween Reculver and Beltinge, with daily access to the calm, green spots that pets love.

I have a large, bright and calm home with a fenced garden and access to many ideal local amenities, including the walk to Reculver Towers.

“Emily has been wonderful, staying in our house and looking after Angus while we were away for 10 days. We received regular updates of their time together, hanging out, playing and on a variety of different walks. Angus has LOVED their time together and that they both looked so happy made us feel really at ease. Emily looked after our house perfectly and we will definitely ask her to have Angus again when we next go away.”

About: Hi and Thanks so much for viewing my profile. ☺️ I’m Sangeeta (G as in Guitar). I’m a full-time creative and boarder. I work from home in and I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. Prior to lockdown, I lived and worked in New York City for many years, transferring back to be close to family in London to during the pandemic. I’ve had three dogs & three cats since childhood, learning a lot from a very young age to become a very experienced talker, walker, carer & trainer of both cats & dogs. So many people have noted over the years how I’m very intuitive with their pets. Turns out, to my surprise, I am. Though I haven’t yet perfected the art of animal communication, it helps me appreciate first-hand, reach pet/s unique personality and traits. (They decide whether to communicate). Most often I host pets from one family at a time and take great care to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and at home with me; making space so they can spread out as well as snuggle up close beside me. Typically care includes, feeding, walking, bathing and giving medication, as well as extra snacks and dedicated playtime. I lost my little songwriting partner and Boycat Kai in 2023. He was Maine Coon rescue, who climbed into my arms at just 8 months old and flew 1st class with me back to the UK. We lived a wonderful life travelling the world, making music and “mischief” until his peaceful transition, 17 years later. So I hope it goes without saying - caring for animals brings me a lot of joy. I really do treat them as one of my own. From visiting friends/family to creative meetings or even a short trip, they’re always welcome to join me (if appropriate) and I am fully insured to care for them. And since there’s ample room here to ensure dedicated spaces, I’m able to host pets from more than one family too. Especially those who’ve met beforehand and already know each other - they have the best time together. New clients are always welcome so please feel free to reach out and schedule a meet and greet anytime. I also recommend booking a short stay at first. This way your pet/s and I will have time to become acquainted and helps to ensure they’re comfy with longer stays. I sincerely welcome the opportunity to meet you as well as answer any questions and perhaps at some point welcome your VIP as my guest. (Very Important Pet/s). Sangeeta ⭐️🙏🏼🐶😻 Please note: Since I have bookings over the holidays (Late Nov-Early Jan), I tend to take some time for me Mid Sept-Early Nov). I’m always flexible however. Also, Rover commission applies both ways so please don’t be put off. Additional Info: Our schedule during their stay is organised around their comfort and well-being as the priority. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility. I’m always open to a meet and greet beforehand or a “practice” stay. It matters to me your pet feels at home with me, just as I treat as my very own. I am happy to accept more than one but they’ll most likely be my only fur guest during their stay, unless they are from the same household or already know each other. I like to be able to give them my full attention and have free rein in my home. If you do book an extended stay, they can travel and stay overnight there with me too. Whatever the case, I’ll always check with you beforehand, anyway. ☺️ I’m very vigilant - animal safety comes first. I have a fenced garden and live in a bungalow with plenty of space for safety, comfort and quiet. If they are ok to be left at home alone whilst I pop out, rest assured I’ll be keeping an eye on them over WiFi. I love sharing updates and happy moments, so you’ll have plenty of photos and videos each day and throughout their stay, or as you prefer. Also, do let me know if im over-sharing, 😂
