Pet Sitting Medway

About: I have cared for small and medium dogs (from very nervous to very energetic) through rover, including walking weekly and boarding for up to 10 days, I make sure to let the dogs out to potty every 1-2 hours and I typically walk them at 6/7am and around 5/6pm (during boarding). I am located near Gillingham high street, so the Great lines is on my doorstep. Drop me a text if you need a pet that requires walks/boarding/drop ins and I will let you know my availability as it may change weekly dependant on my uni schedule. I am currently studying for my Masters in Forensic Psychology, so I am at University two times a week. I am always happy to meet prior to booking, so that we can discuss your dog’s needs, their behaviour towards other dogs and their typical schedule. My busiest days are Thursday and Friday, so I typically get back at 7pm but I always make time for pets so that they can have one or two walks per day. Other than that my schedule is free so I can spoil your dog with attention and lots of play. In terms of boarding, I have a fenced garden so I can take dogs for regular potty breaks with no problem. I usually walk dogs twice a day. I make sure to play with the dogs and try to teach them new tricks, so don’t forget to bring their favourite ball/toy and other necessities like treats 😊 I like to educate myself on the best ways to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulation, whether that hiding treats in blankets or freezing carrots so your pet can work for their rewards. If there’s anything similar to this that you like to do with your dog, I am happy to take on new suggestions and try them out.

About: I've looked after small and large dogs including maltese, staffies and great danes - the most I've ever looked after in one go is five! I've done everything from bathing, meals and dietary requirements, activities (I have a massive park opposite my flat with lots of space for exercise) and enjoy being active myself. Plus, I've also looked after budgies and cats and a general all-round animal lover! I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Fridays so I can do some mid week house sitting and check ins and walks. I can do house sitting, walks and check ins on weekends too with a bit of notice - generally a couple of days ahead of time. I don't offer day care or boarding. For house sitting, walking and check ins, I can do feeding and food prep (just provide instructions if theres lots of steps or specific feeding and prep instructions), provide oral medication, generally mixed into food, and I love to play with pets and happy to do lots of walking. I currently have a few dogs that I routinely care for who like to have lots of playtime like fetch, tug, treat finding and puzzles as a few examples and regular walks. I have done a basic pet first aid course (please note that this isnt to replace proper vet care, but can assist in assessing incidents, recognise illness, provide early care prior to getting a vet). This includes, bleeding and bandaging, vomiting, heat stroke, bites, stings. Full information on this course is on the Animal Academy website. I have a current DBS check dated Jan 2024.

“As before, Laura was great when she was looking after my cats. They were happy kitties when we returned and I always feel at ease leaving them in Laura's care.”

About: I’ve always lived with dogs - childhood pets, dog sitting when studying and now having my own dogs. Currently we have a young setter whom we trained from a puppy. I have experience in looking after a range of dogs but the majority of my experience is with spaniels (my previous dog was a springer spaniel), retrievers and Labrador’s and their needs. I’m used to high energy dogs who need lots of walking and game playing. I have experienced first hand the transformation in a dog once it has sufficient exercise and stimulation, so will always look to ensure that your dog has enough walking and play. Our setter has suffered from separation anxiety, so I very aware of the challenges of this & the resulting behaviour. We have worked hard to overcome this & with the right routine in place can now leave him for a couple of hours. We are also working very hard with his recall & making progress, I have honestly found training a ongoing personal achievement and has strengthened our bond hugely. With active dogs, in and out of puddles etc. I am very aware regular brushing is essential to keep their coat untangled and clean. Personally I think this is a lovely way to spent sometime with your dog when they are calm in the evening and happy to spend time with your dog in this way. I’m work from home part time supporting my partners carpentry business. I have two children (4&7) so have school runs twice a day. I’m around the majority of the day otherwise. I walk our dog after school drop off for at least an hour, we go to local open spaces or drive to the country parks. I will take him for another shorter walk either before pick up or later in the day once my partner is home. I'm happy to take additional walks if this is needed for your dog or play scent games in the house & when I'm home they are always free to go in the garden. I have a two year old friendly neutered male English Setter in my home. He likes all dogs and if they are energetic he will play with them. If they are senior he respects this and is gentle. I walk with him for over an hour a day and often go for runs. I can walk other dogs with or without him. If your dog was in our home, they would be in the same space as him on the ground floor and in the garden. Dogs are not allowed upstairs in the bedrooms but provide beds in each room, so they are able to to be with me throughout the day & are not left alone. Whilst the dog will never be left alone around the children (and my children have been around dogs all their lives), it will need to be happy to be in a family environment. Our setter (like a Labrador) is happy to try and eat anything! During mealtimes, our dog and any visiting dogs will be put in a different room. He is a counter surfer and so surfaces and tables are clear of food aside from mealtimes, so they do not get anything that might upset their tummies. I'm very vigilant on keeping any non dog friendly foods well away (raisins, chocolate etc.)

“We had a lovely experience with Faith looking after our cat while we were away. Faith is reliable and trustworthy. She sent regular updates including pictures of our cat. We highly recommend Faith to pet owners.”

About: I have been caring for doggies since the age of 10, from small chihuahuas to big staffies, greyhounds and retrievers! I have my own two extremely sweet, loving and playful girls - Judy, and Ava that I’ve had since a pup. They are my babies, have been socialised plenty growing up and are amazing around other animals! They are the most welcoming when someone comes to stay! I have a huge garden for high energy furry ones, and a comfy sofa for the cuddlers so I can always balance on what they need especially if they have difficulty settling or get bored quickly! Having looked after many different doggies, I’ve had the amazing experience to meet so many dogs with different personalities! I’m fully flexible, ready to meet the needs of you and your doggies, whenever you need it 😊 I am a full time university student studying law, and I work part time at Lloyds bank 3 days a week where the rest of the time I’m at home or out with my doggies! My garden is all fenced around at almost 6ft high and big enough for large dogs to have a good run! I always let my girls out for a morning toilet and play around 8am followed by a walk to the park 2 mins away and breakfast when home and then some rest and cuddles on the sofa. By afternoon I usually like to take my girls to leyborne lakes, shorne country park and venture somewhere new! All doggies are allowed on furniture and can make noise, making sure they’re as comfy as can be! I can be fully flexible to your babies needs and their schedules as I want them to feel as at home as can be ❤️

“Really happy with the care and attention Rebecca gave my boys. She came round in advance and made sure she knew their routine and what would be needed. She kept me up to date while I was away and dropped my keys off promptly after I got back. I would definitely recommend and use again”

“Danielle helped us out at really short notice, great communication and Alfie was very confident being with her.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life so am very experienced when it comes to long walks in the woods, on poo patrol or just having cuddles on the sofa. We no longer have a family dog due to her being very poorly and miss her dearly so being able to look after other dogs will help us fill that void. I am a self employed cleaner so am able to schedule around looking after your pup! Am available for weekend boarding and the occasional weekday sleepovers. We have a nice size garden which is fenced and dog friendly. My children used to play ball games with our family dog all the time come rain or shine.

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, I bring passion, patience, and genuine love for animals to every visit. From playful walks and cuddles to meal times and cozy snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s housesitting for friends, family, or through trusted pet services, I’ve built a reputation as a responsible, reliable, and attentive caregiver who truly understands the unique personality and needs of each animal. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority. I’ll keep tails wagging, purrs flowing, and owners at ease knowing their furry friends are in caring, capable hands. I'm self-employed running my own coaching business from home and have full flexibility and autonomy of my diary. I can work remotely from anywhere and currently, only have a handful of regular, commited client hours to cater for. This flexibility means I can be on hand to deliver attentive, dedicated time, focus and care to your pets. I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where they feel completely at ease. I always respect each pet’s space and boundaries, paying close attention to their body language so I can respond to their unique personalities, knowing whether they’re in the mood for play, cuddles, or some quiet time. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and enrichment for minimum disruption to them and helping them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. From keeping their home safe and tidy to giving them gentle attention and companionship, my goal is to build trust and make every pet feel loved, happy, and cared for.

About: I have a Foundation Degree in Animal Management. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs and cats as pets for most of my life. Petting sitting is my main focus, so I can devote plenty of time to looking after your pets, and my diary availability is fairly flexible. I am more than happy to look after your pet in their home environment, and can offer check ins during the day as needed, as well as ensuring they have access to outdoors and walks as needed.

About: I have got experienced with several breeds of dogs: dachshund, jack russell, golden retriever and american staffordshire terrier. I had my first dog when I was 15, he was an old dachshund, from that I have got experience on taking care of older dogs.I am currently with a american staffordshire terrier of 1 year and 4 months which led me to join the training course when she was 4 months which led me increase my knowledge concerning about dog behaviors and to help me with pet sitting. Even though I had only two dogs, I had many pet sitting experiences with the dogs i listed before. I am a university student currently doing my mechanical engineering degree. I like to make dogs feel comfortable, satisfying all their needs. If the dog needs to discharge energy I am willing to do several hours of walking and play, instead if they need only company, I can meet that requirement as well.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently share my home with my own Labrador and Cavapoo, so I understand first-hand what different breeds and sizes need day to day, from a Lab's energy to a Cavapoo's smaller size and routine. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets, whether that's a quick check-in or a full house sit while they're away, and I know how much of a difference it makes for a pet to stay in their own home with their own routine rather than being uprooted. I have real experience with pets who need a bit more patience, including anxious or reactive dogs who need a calm, steady presence and clear boundaries rather than pressure. I'm comfortable reading body language and adjusting my approach so nervous pets feel safe rather than overwhelmed. I'm also confident with puppies and kittens, from basic house training and crate routines to gentle socialisation, and equally experienced with senior pets, including administering medication, managing mobility issues and keeping an eye out for changes that owners should know about. Whether it's a drop-in visit or a full house sit, you can expect close attention, honest updates and a pet who's genuinely cared for in the comfort of their own home. I work part-time at a preschool and always have a shift on Friday afternoons, so that slot is fixed, though I'll let you know in advance if I pick up any extra shifts that might affect availability. Outside of that, I'm flexible with timing and always aim to follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible. I offer morning, afternoon and evening drop-in visits, as well as overnight house sitting. I confirm exact visit times in advance and keep them consistent throughout the booking, which helps cats and dogs alike feel settled and secure, especially those who rely on a predictable routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly as provided and make sure doors, windows, gates and feeding areas are secure at all times. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment rather than being uprooted. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going while you're away.

About: Loving, reliable and active pet sitter 🐶🫶🏻 I’m Charlie, a friendly and reliable pet sitter based in Caterham. I genuinely love animals and want every pet I look after to feel happy, safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats throughout my life, including raising my own fox red Labrador from a puppy. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels, and I’m also experienced with administering medication when needed. I recently spent two weeks house sitting for two spaniels, looking after their daily routines, walks, meals and everything they needed while their owner was away. I really enjoyed it and would love to build on this experience through Rover. What you can expect from me 🐾 I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles, while keeping your pet’s usual routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m available for house sitting in your home, dog walks and drop in visits around Caterham and the surrounding areas. I work during the week but have flexibility around my working days, as well as availability in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I’ll always arrange a meet & greet beforehand so we can get to know each other, go through your pet’s routine and make sure I’m the right fit for you and your pet. I’d love to meet your furry family! 🐶🐱 For house visits and dog walks 🍃 I work full-time, so my availability is mainly evenings, weekends and when I’m able to work from home. For dog/house sitting 🏠 I am able to work remotely for long period of time if I have some warning to give to work. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine and make sure I can give them the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority. I’m responsible, attentive and will always follow your instructions around feeding, walks, medication and anything else they need. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and settled.

About: From feeding and playing with animals filling busy homes to caring for older individual cats or dogs, every animal deserves the best treatment and compassion. I am happy to say I should be able to fit your furry friends in with my routine even at short notice as I work from home and enjoy the company of all animals, from aging cats to boisterous, larger breeds of dogs. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced garden with no other animals at the property ensuring a safe environment for your best friend. Play time and gentle company will always be available 24/7 when they stay.
