House Sitting Malling

About: I come from a farming family, having spent time around animals/pets of all kinds and growing up immersed in nature. I’m unafraid of long walks and power breeds with lots of energy. 3 years in house and pet sitting experience. I am a freelancer and a fitness fanatic who loves to fit movement and time outdoors into my day wherever I can. I am available most early mornings or late afternoons for walks, and am free to board on weekdays! I aim to keep your pets routine as consistent as possible in line with how they are usually cared for / walked. If your pet loves long walks, has particular dietary requirements, loves a particular park or game, I’m your gal!

“An excellent sitter. My dog was very happy with a walk in the woods, playtime and lots of cuddles.”

Claire D.

“Preeti welcomed our 2 dogs for the day with kindness and thoughtfulness. She walked and played with them both and looked after them very well. They were both very happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Great communication and photos too.”

Andrew M.

“Dina was great. Prompt, friendly and our pets loved her. She left our home clean and even left a pint of milk in the fridge for us on our return. Would definitely recommend!”

Cyndi D.

“Rosie was great. We have 4 dogs and all of them have different requirements, nothing was too much trouble. Rosie walked and feed them all and sent us through pictures of how she was getting on. We will definitely be booking Rosie again. 😃”

About: I have loved cats and dogs since I was a child but only when settled in my own home after university did I feel settled enough to start to care for my own cats and dogs. Now I have the time to care for other pets and make them part of our family while they are here. I have a 4 year old Lab Retriever and two cats who both know how to live with dogs. Now that I have retired I have all the time in the world to devote to looking after my pets and yours. Your dog can become part of our family and share in all the care and attention I have a medium sized fully fenced in garden and plenty of room for the pets to find a quiet space if they need it or they are welcome to jump on the sofa for a cuddle.

About: Ive had a dog for 10 years and cats for 4. I look after them on a daily basis. I also take care of families pets. As well as im a student in college in my second yesr of level 3 animal management. I also have a pet first aid certificate. I'm a student however as its summer i'm able to do just about everyday exept sundays as I have a volunteering job with animals. I have a catio for my indoor cats so they get to experiance the outdoors! i have a fenced garden for my dog to play and go to toilet in!

“Phil was incredibly punctual, very polite, and did a great job with our dog. I’d recommend him!”

“Katie has been great with Nutmeg and has looked after her a couple of times now. She provided updates throughout the day on how Nutmeg was doing, super understanding and has been very reliable. Thank you!🥰”

“Michael has been brilliant throughout the process from booking to the actual sit. Jed is a very anxious and reactive dog with new people, particularly in the home. This was explained to Michael and he listened to all our advice and made a great effort to understand Jed’s needs. He gave up his time to come for a meet and greet, plus meeting us for a dog walk, to meet Jed and try build an early bond. Jed was unfortunately a little reactive on the walk, but this never swayed Micheal to his credit. He’s a really friendly and attentive person and it’s clear his enjoys being with dogs. The sit went well and considering Jed isn’t that easy at first, he persevered and by the end of it Jed seems to have relaxed a tad with him. The lovely long walk he took him on would’ve certainly helped :) Communication with Michael is very easy and he sends lots of updates throughout, including nice pictures and videos. All in all it was a great experience and I hope we will be using him again, so he can continue to forge a friendship with Jed :) I would absolutely recommend Michael, an honest and reliable dog sitter, which on this app is not easy to find. We look forward to seeing Michael again.”

“Jessica was GREAT. Excellent communication leading up to the sitting and excellent communication during. Jessica clearly loved our dogs and sent great pictures to show what was happening. It all ran very smoothly and I was delighted. Thank you Jessica.”

About: Hello, I’ve been a dog and cat owner for over 12 years. Having lost my dogs last year due to old age I have now embarked on a dog grooming course which I will eventually open my own business from home. This currently allows me to have free time in my home to look after your family pet. This allows me to have all the cuddles and kisses and company from your pet rather than the commitment of owning my own pets again. With a weeks notice I’ll be able to be as flexible as you need. I am currently on a flexible dog grooming course currently which I am fitting In around my life. My house is a fenced garden with NO escape! So you wouldn't need to worry about escapees. I can accommodate to your structure with your pet also and stick to feeding schedules and walking schedules. I am very organised and punctual so sticking to a timetable is how I like to approach my daily life so jobs get done and in a timely manner. You can guarantee your pet will get lots of cuddles and strokes from me with undivided attention or if your pet doesn’t like that then I also know when to not cross that boundary.

“Natalie was fantastic. My nervous rescue lab was completely at ease and when I returned from my weekend away I could tell that she was very contented. Would recommend Natalie without any hesitation ☺️”

About: I have been brought up with German Shepherds my whole life and now own a working security German Shepherd and pet Cocker Spaniel. I have a wide range of skills and experience that you can only get from spending 5 years working and training dogs everyday. I feel I bring a sense of confidence that dogs will feel secure around and a knowledge that will help dogs thrive. Pet sitting will run alongside my dog walking business. I will be able to work my week around pet sitting, aslong as the dog can be left for a few hours after exercise during the day. My aim will be to look after your pet to the same boundaries you set for the dog. The dog will be use to a routine and taking the dog out of that routine can cause the dog some stress. In order to trust me, the dog will need to feel safe and not be taken by surprise.

About: Since 2014 I have owned two lovely beagles: one named Archi and the other Marley. Unfortunately Marley passed recently, but with Archi and Marley, I have experience with caring for puppies, toilet training, feeding, sleeping, walking, and playing. I am retired, so I am available to meet any pet needs or requirements. Also since Marley’s passing, I have plenty of love, energy and time to play with pets, care for them and support their needs. All days of the week I can be called upon and ready to help in any way I can. I have a fenced garden that my previous dogs were safe in. I have a gate in my lounge entry that ensured my previous dogs were safe and secure when I answered the door or people entered.

“We immediately felt comfortable with Shannon, she gave us total confidence that she knew what she was doing and is clearly a dog lover. She did 24 hours and stayed overnight, we came home to a happy dog and a clean house! No hesitation recommending Shannon, it gives such peace of mind knowing our girl can be looked after in her own home, and we hope she’ll be able to come back soon.”

About: Being part of a family that has fostered about 20 rescue dogs now, I can comfortably say that I have experience caring for dogs of all natures, especially those that are very shy or frightened :) Im currently a full time student at university, but while home for summer (June-September) I will be fully free to fit pet care in at any time! I would be able to care for your pets however you describe, whether they need constant attention or if they need to be left alone.

About: My name is Georgina, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs for over 8 years—and I’ve loved every minute of it. During this time, I’ve gained experience across a wide range of sectors, working with breeds both big and small, each with their own unique temperament, age, and physical ability. I have an in-depth knowledge of dog and animal behaviour, including the many different play styles and personalities they bring. No matter how easy-going or challenging a dog may be, they are always welcome. I hold an IMDT dog training qualification and offer training for both puppies and adult dogs who may need extra support. My goal is always to provide the very best care, tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Whether that means group walks for social butterflies or gentle strolls for senior companions, I’ve got you covered. I am currently operating Wednesdays to Saturdays. From as early as you may need to as late as you need. I have flexible days and will be either able to have solo and group walks depending on your dogs needs. Every customer receives a personalised care plan to ensure I fully understand your dog’s individual needs, weather this be in or out of your home. This allows me to provide the right level of care, whether that includes specific feeding routines, administering medication, or simply tailoring walks and activities to suit your dog’s personality. My priority is always to make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and well looked after.

About: I have lots of experience with animals. I looked after 3 dogs a cocker, collie and a springer full time for over 2 years. I worked for Pets at home for 10 years. I am qualified PE teachers and I currently work 16 hours a week. So I am home for most of the day. So I can care for your Pets and take them out for walks. I have looked after friends and family’s animals for years. I have walked, bathed and looked after them. I am able to look after animals in the evenings and weekends. I am also leaving my teaching job from July so I have lots of time over the Summer to look after animals when people are at work. I have a safe environment a small courtyard and beautiful countryside around East Malling. There are plenty of beautiful walks around here. I have a fish tank but no other pets.

About: I have looked after friends and family dogs since I was young, and love having furry friends around. I am familiar with dogs that have medical needs, as my parent’s dog is often on tablets for her allergies and my own pup had a variety of allergies and sore pads when he was growing up. I walk the dogs come rain or shine, unless they really don’t like the rain. Your pup will come back clean and tidy and happy from their care with me, and my teen kids are all dog lovers so they really enjoy having new dogs to cuddle. My own Goldendoodle dog is now 6, and my parents have had Shelties since I was 18 so that’s 30 years of experience with dogs! My whole focus will be on your dog, I am an early riser and will get the kids to the school bus by 7.30. If I have dogs with me then, I will take them on a good country hike, having lived around west malling for 7 years now I have got a good list of places to go. Then we will come back clean them up and have breakfast for 9.30am. If the dogs are being dropped off a bit later i will come home and pick up the dogs then head out. On their return to the house, they will have full access to the garden, which is safe, and enclosed. We reluctantly had artificial turf put in, as the mud was unbelievable, but it does mean the dogs stay cleaner! I will give them lots of cuddles and ball throwing if they like that, and tummy scratches throughout the day, I will do a bit of house work… that never ends… and then will take dogs for another walk before bus school pick up, or after on my return home if they are tired. I play the schedule by ear and what the dogs need/like. I will take photos throughout the day. I live on a quiet cul-de-sac and have a large heavy duty fenced in garden. I will only walk your dog off lead if you are happy for me too. Any car journeys the dogs will be strapped in using car safety harnesses. I can provide bedding or they may prefer to have their own so they have their familiar smells nearby. I have a clean Full Driving License and am not car proud, if the dogs are muddy! If I am sitting at your home, I will stick to the schedule you have set, and simply work with that. It’s important that dogs have their routines.
