About: My cats will be put upstairs in a locked secure room during your pets stay if need be :) I've looked after my brothers border collie and sisters staffy (separately) on many occasions over the years. I enjoy long runs and hikes with and without dogs, which can be seen on my strava page. I can also send you a strava location beacon so you'll know exactly where me and your loved one are at all times whilst we are out. I know the surrounding area very well and have plenty of different off road routes, short and long to cater for your dogs specific exercise requirements. I always take lots of pictures of the dogs which I upload to my activities and can send to you during your dogs stay. I work full time during the week 5.45 - 14.45 Monday to Thursday which means I'm generally back home just before 3. On Fridays I'm back just before 11.00 am so I'm available any time after that. Weekends I'm always free and enjoy doing long bouts of exercise, which I'd love to include your dog in. I have a big open rear garden which is enclosed by fences and I also live next door to mote park so your furry loved one will always have lovely walks each day. I have 2 cats I own which can be put away upstairs securely when need be.

About: Hi thanks for visiting my page. I have always lived with both cats and dogs. My partner and I are based in Vinters with our 2 adopted rescue Kitties, Felix & Pixie. Both came from 2 different RSPCA rescue shelters at different time. Both complete opposite personalities and both are happy living life to the max in our home! Motto in our house is "Cat comes first!" If you are looking for trust worthy, local and inexpensive cat mad sitter, you have come to the right person. I work Monday to Friday, with two days working from home, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets around my core hours. Here’s a breakdown of my current availability: 🐾 Drop-in Visits: Weekdays from 6pm onwards 🐾 Dog Walking: Fridays to Sundays only 🐾 House Sitting (in your home): Weekends only, with advance booking required If you’re looking for support outside of these hours, feel free to get in touch — I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs, no matter how big or small. 😊 Trust and loyalty are at the heart of my service — this isn’t just a transaction. When you book with me, you’re choosing someone who will treat your furbabies as if they were my own. I hold a valid DBS certificate, giving you peace of mind that your pets and home are in safe, responsible hands. I’m happy to provide proof of my DBS upon request. You’ll receive daily updates with photos and messages, so you’re always in the loop and can relax knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and comfortable in their own environment. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and routine are my top priorities every time I visit.

“Hannah came to house sit and look after our spaniel Crumble and she was absolutely brilliant! She came over a few days in advance to meet us + Crumble, and Crumble took to her immediately. You can tell that she is experienced at looking after dogs as he felt instantly at ease with her. On the day of house sitting she arrived on time and had great communication throughout - Crumble was very happy to be left with her. We will 100% be using Hannah again and would highly recommend her!”


About: A lover of both cats and dogs! I have my own rescue cat and young Dachshund. Grown up with pets, and have looked after cats and dogs of friends and family members over the years. Experience with both kittens, puppies and rescues. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, feeding, litter changes, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to provide the care your pet deserves. I believe every pet should be treated like family and I tailor my approach to suit their individual routines and preferences. I’m reliable, flexible, and available on short notice.. perfect when life gets busy and you need someone trustworthy to step in. ❣️ I work full time in office based role on weekdays but available early morning or evenings during the week. I have full availability on the weekends. House Sitting Bookings: I'm unavailable to stay the night due to personal commitments. But happy for House Sitting to be booked instead of a long duration drop in visit I can offer friendly and relaxed company for your pet. I will give a lot of attention to your pet, especially cuddles and playtime. I can easily crate your dog if needed (recent experience with own dog). Allow your pets to roam outdoors during my visit, or take for a walk. Open to meeting with your pets before your booked dates to help build trust.

About: I am currently a Self Employed Plumbing and Heating Engineer of LPG, Gas and Oil. I am interested in a change of career and it has become a strong realisation that my passion lies with looking after animals. I have had a generous amount of personal experience with animals from a very young age, from feeding and brushing horses, nursing a hedgehog to be released back into the wild, changing dressings and the general daily care of stick insects, gecko lizards, cats, dogs and many guineapigs. I have also been entrusted with looking after dogs of other owners, also in my engineering career I meet a whole range of pets of which I am also incredibly keen, with the permission of the owner, to give my undivided attention to. I am self employed, therefore I can often take bookings very last minute and I can also work around complicated work patterns of the pet's owner to fit in with irregular hours. I can also commit to daily visits on long term plans such as holidays if enough notice is given. The garden is fenced and gated, and a close walk to a small, wild orchard with a small river if your dog needs a cool down or enjoys a paddle. There is very wide open space of fields nearby and also I have access to a nature reserve which is very quiet and your dog can roam freely without encountering other dogs if they are unpredictable or reactive around others. Many options for different personalities of dogs.

“Lilly is absolutely fantastic really friendly sitter. we are her first booking and honestly super happy with her definitely will use her again as I got home to a chilled happy dog! Kept me really well updated throughout the day and our home was kept extremely tidy. Highly recommend!!!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life — from a high-energy Rhodesian Ridgeback-Boxer mix to a laid-back (but chew-happy) Golden Retriever, and three working Cocker Spaniels. I’ve also had cats, hamsters, horses ….animals have always been a big part of my day-to-day. Since moving into a flat, I really miss having a dog around. I work from home full-time, so I’ve got the flexibility and time to give them proper attention. I’ve looked after a range of different breeds and have a diploma in pet nutrition, so I’m confident caring for dogs with all kinds of needs. I spend most of my free time walking and hiking — luckily I live right next to a nature reserve, so your dog would get plenty of outdoor time. I’m looking forward to spending time with a four-legged friend again. I work from home full-time. Can look after dogs/ cats all day and walk regularly. Any weekday and weekends if given notice. Also available for holidays ! I have a large flat which is very dog and cat friendly. I understand this may not be ideal as no garden. However, I live next to a nature reserve which I walk in everyday. Also a keen hiker so can take on long walks at lunch or after work .

“Grace was brilliant with our two dogs (including a 6 month old puppy who doesn’t sleep much!) who took to her immediately. She was polite, tidy and confident in caring for them both. I have no hesitation recommending her to anyone and have already asked her to help again and stay during our next holiday! Thank you for your hard work”


About: I'm a former Veterinary Nurse with over 7 years' experience providing professional pet sitting for cats, dogs, and small furry pets. I can administer medications and am able to identify if your pet is potentially unwell whilst you are away. My dog walks are 1:1 and you can book either an hour or 30 minutes. I also like hiking around the local area so if you would like your dog to go for a longer walk just let me know! I offer services in and around Coxheath and Maidstone. I can’t wait to meet your companions and give them all the love! I am available most days and am pretty flexible, just message me with the dates you need a sitter or a walk and I can get back to you. I offer overnight stays at your home. The service starts at 7pm and ends at 8am. It includes a morning and evening walk, feeding, play time, cuddle time, changing litter trays and also toilet breaks in the garden.

“I cannot recommend Rebecca more highly. She was available at short notice, arrived on time, sent plenty of photos and was flexible with her sitting arrangements . Well working together again, I’m sure.”


About: For the past 4 years I’ve been looking after our family Belgian Malinois, he is a beautiful dog but a demanding breed and therefore I know I am capable of caring for many pets with any range of temperaments. I am a great listener and can be trusted to look after pets well, and with affection. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs, as well as senior cats, so my care is not at all restricted by age or energy levels. I currently work part time and sometimes from home which means I have the flexibility to easily accommodate various days and time slots. I am consistently available in the mornings and also on weekends. I am not caring for pets in my home at the moment, but when caring for pets in their own homes I stick to their routine as much as possible, as outlined by the owners.
