House Sitting Leysdown-on-Sea

About: I’ve had two dogs of my own over the past 20 years, and have cared for them through every stage of life — from energetic puppies to elderly dogs needing extra patience and care. This hands-on experience has helped me understand different temperaments, routines, and individual needs. I’m also dog first aid qualified, giving extra reassurance that your pet will be in safe and capable hands. I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am fully available to spend 24/7 catering to your doggos needs. Your dog will be played with to their hearts desire, have lovely walks, constant fresh water, a couple of cheeky little treats, and as many photos and videos of your fur-baby as you like throughout the day. Pets in my care will be treated like part of the family in a safe, relaxed, and loving environment. I live in a static caravan with a secure, decent-sized decking area where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and choose to come and go freely while supervised. I also have a grass area for toilet breaks and playtime, along with plenty of lovely walks surrounding me, perfect for keeping dogs happy, exercised, and mentally stimulated. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for, whether in my home or in the owner’s home following their usual routine.

“Yevgeniia, was superb, from the first time she met Flo till the time we got back from being away, Flo was treated like a queen, nice photos and kept in touch to let us know how Flo was, the house was kept very immaculate, I would recommend Yevgeniia all day long, we will be in contact again to rebook Yevgeniia.”

“I would recommend Suzie again and again! My elderly 1.5kg yorkie is not a fan of strangers which makes leaving her in the care of pet sitters hard. Suzie was so good with her! Suzie kindly sent regular updates, which helped with my anxiety. She also left the house is great condition. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet/house sitter.”

About: I've had dozens of pets and had lovely beagle until 2019. I pride myself in being thoughtful, caring and thorough. I fully appreciate how stressful it can be to have your beloved pets looked after by someone else and I take pet owners trust very seriously. I've got an eye for detail and always respect pets' routines, pet parents' instructions and any vet indications. I'm affectionate and caring and pride myself in being reliable and trustworthy. I'm an NHS worker, so I like to care for others including pets and can work remotely to spend quality time with pets. I work remotely 90% of the time plus I don't work Fridays so I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets and their needs. I am happy to travel to London and beyond for house sitting. For home visits, I can accomodate up to a 15-20min drive from Faversham. I treat your home with the care and respect I show my own. I can adjust to pet owners needs and schedules. I pay attention to detail and safety while creating a relaxed environment for pets.

“We are so glad Kathryn looked after our dog Louis! Louis was so happy to be with Kathryn and wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kathryn to look after him again! And so respectful of our home too!! We can’t thank Kathryn enough!”

About: I have qualification in animal management level 3, along with growing up on a farm. No animal is too much work 🐾 I look after houses as if they were my own including cleaning and loving your furry friends 🥰 I currently work from home 4 days a week but I can happily book annual leave to be able to help look after your furkids 🥰 When sitting in the owners home, I will treat the house and furkid as my own so the owner has peace of mind that everything is being done correctly and looked after properly

“Both my dogs had a lovely time with Lou, they were pleased to see her and I am sure looking forward to seeing her in the future. Lou is professional, caring and responsible and my dogs felt instantly at ease with her!”

“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.”

“There aren't enough stars for Luke! He is truly the most phenomenally caring and trustworthy sitter we've ever had for Ziggy (our very bouncy, 2.5yr Golden Retriever). Luke took Ziggy under his wings for a week at his beautiful home which is clean, tidy & cosy; he went ABOVE & BEYOND to ensure our boy was safe, well stimulated, cleaned, loved & entertained with his own Golden Retriever, Cody. (who is SUCH a lovely natured & playful GR). My mother in law popped by to say hello mid week and she absolutely loved Luke & his GF too - they were so accommodating & clearly genuinely lovely, kind people. Daily photos & videos were in full swing which I found very reassuring that our GR was really happy & in such good hands - it's honestly a shame we had to bring him home as he was clearly having THE BEST time with Luke, his GF & Cody. I joked about our dog having a GR retreat for a week and he certainly did. He occupied him with snuffle mats, licky mats, plenty of playful & even bough him a very cute golden retriever teddy which melted our hearts when we saw our boy with it when he returned. Luke not only took him on what looked to be the most wonderful woodland walks but he also managed to get Ziggy in his bathtub - which we have never been able to achieve! Mega chuffed with that! He cleaned him everyday after the muddiest of walks and Ziggy looked so comfortable and happy in his care as I could see huge smiles on Ziggys face in every single photo. The photos he sent were also brilliant, Luke captured the most intimate & playful moments of our dogs together, I can imagine Luke raking in the cash as a candid dog photographer. He really did everything and more that I could have wished for to ensure Ziggy was happy & healthy and for that, I am so grateful. To commend Luke further - he gave us a digital and hard copy of an illustration of Ziggy which is flipping fantastic, another string to add to his bow. Really, if you're looking at booking, do it immediately because I don't think there is anyone better suited. We 100% trust Luke & his GF & will absolutely use them again in the future and know Ziggy will lose his mind when he sees them all again :D Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! XXX!”

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, 😂

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since i was little. I’ve owned multiple horses and looked after my own cats and dogs for many years. I’ve grown up around them. I’ve looked after other peoples cats, dogs and horses since i was 13-14. I am also a part of the Fox Project which helps injured or lost foxes to be released back into the wild. I’m currently working part time at weekends at a livery yard, so I have plenty of time during the week to look after your pets. I am available at any time Monday to Friday . I would be very careful following instructions left by the owners on their facilities and requirements to keep their pets needs. I would also respect their pets space if necessary but provide all my love and care for them.

“Hollie is fantastic, we have used her a few times and every time she has looked after Bella and our home, like its her own. Will rebook again x”

“Fern looked after Blaez and our household this weekend. Blaez was delighted to see her, they know each other through regular walks. Fern sent lots of photos, video clips and updates. Blaez has medication 4 times a day, and Fern gave this to her. When I arrived home, Blaez was so happy and settled, exhausted from all the fun she had and the house was clean and tidy. Fern had also stripped her bed and washed up. I couldn't be happier with the care Fern gave Blaez, the respectful way she looked after our house and extended her care to looking out for our 3 tortoises. I absolutely recommend Fern's services!”

About: I am an animal lover at heart and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs to care for. I can guarantee to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve. I work full time as a therapist, but most of my work is online, and I have a real love and passion for working with and caring for animals. I have a soul dog myself called Bueno. Bueno is an English Bulldog with neurological difficulties so I understand first hand how important it is to cater to each pets needs. I also have a very sassy cat called Socks who keeps me in check! Any pet in my care will be treated as my own, and I’d be happy to provide regular pupdates throughout. I’m currently working full time as a therapist, but as I work with children, my workload is significantly lessened over the summer holidays. Most of my sessions are online so I can care for your pets without leaving them alone most of the time! I’m more than happy to care for your pets in your home. If your pet gets on with other animals, Bueno would love to meet them also!

“Phill did a great job looking after our two dogs. Pre our holiday Phil came and met dogs and then stopped in again just before we left. On the day of our departure Phil came early to ensure all set. Dogs warmed to him straight away and that includes our rescue who can be tricky with some people and especially men. Daily updates, comms and pictures sent throughout our 2 week holidays. Not only did Phil do a great job with the dogs but kept himself busy doing some painting around the house and in the garden painting our walls and steps which was great as jobs that have been meaning to do and now all done! All without asking Phil to do. House was also very clean with Phil doing a clean before we got home. Despite getting home in the early hours Phil stayed and waited for us to get home to make sure all good! We will definitely use Phil again and would recommend!”

About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I was 6. Family and friends have often relied on me to take care of their dogs. I myself am a dog owner and know how much they mean to us. I am currently not doing any other work and have plenty of time to take care of your dogs. I am basically free any time and day. I have a fenced back yard with good space, as well as I have a friendly puppy my self which can make company to your dog, which if needed I can also keep apart. Large parks and fields at walking distance when I can also go for a walk with your dog.

“Kinga was fantastic, she did a wonderful job of looking after our bulldog , Lola. We came home from holiday to a happy pup and a home cleaner than i had left it😀... such a relief to find someone we can trust with our fur baby. Thank you”

“Endless supply of positive reviews for Amanda. She is so responsible (provides countless pet updates, which is important for an anxious cat mom like myself!), kind and patient (my cat Atlas is very shy), and extremely tidy. I’m so pleased with Amanda!”
