Cat Sitting in Shepway

About: I grew up with Boxer dogs, and have experience house sitting and dog walking. I enjoy long walks along the coast, and would love some 4 legged company. If you would prefer us to stay indoors, please let me know what music and TV they enjoy, sometimes it helps to have something you watch on in the background. I'm currently work part time, I enjoy morning walks, and would love a 4 legged friend to join me. I have alot of flexibility, and can be avaliable at short notice. For walks, it is good for your dog to meet me, and see how we get on. I always have doggy bags and treats! Ask as many questions as you need to.

“Thank you to Charmian for looking after our two cats for a week. She left the house looking spotless and we came home to two happy cats. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Mads has looked after Luna three times now and they have become the best of friends. We always go away safe in the knowledge that she is being well looked after and always return to a very happy and contented cat.”

About: Hi, I’m Heather! I’m 35 and I’ve spent years caring for dogs and animals of all personalities and am lucky enough to have four dogs of my own 🐾 I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and reliable, which is why I focus on creating a safe and loving environment for every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, home visits or pet sitting, I always treat pets like they’re my own 🥰 I’m based locally in Hythe (just up behind The Bell pub) and I keep my schedule flexible so I can provide reliable walks, home visits and pet sitting throughout the week 🐾 I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care and company, while keeping to their normal routines as much as possible 😊 If the dates you need aren’t available please feel free to message me as there might be something I can do. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I always focus on creating a calm and loving environment for every animal I care for 🥰 I follow each pet’s usual routine closely, including walks, feeding, medication and any specific needs, and I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind while you’re away 😊

“Milena was excellent - really great communication before and throughout the drop-in, and sent pictures of our little chihuahua all happy and relaxed during her visit! Would definitely recommend and will book with her again ☺️”

About: I’ve had experience with dogs my whole life, had two growing up, a boy and a girl. I also get to look after my sisters lovely Dachshund regularly:) I can be available most days, working around school drop off times. I am available most weekdays, I will have to schedule around the school run so won’t be able to do first thing in the morning but will be available after school drop off. I will ask you questions about your dog, likes, fears, any particular behaviours they may have, if they’re allergic to anything. Dogs will be kept on leads when out and on walks, unless stated otherwise by owners.

“As usual ... reliable, punctual and kind. Jazz really understands what's needed and our puppy always loves to see her. Thanks Jazz 😊”

About: I've worked as a professional dog walker for 3 years and just returned from volunteering for a Srilankan dog hospital where I cared for injured street dogs. I am available for walks and dog sitting in and around the Folkestone area and can't wait to meet your four legged friends. I currently work partime but am available for walks most days between 9- 2pm. I can also have them stay at my place should you need overnight or longer stays I have a secure garden just off the Leas and drive so can easily do pick ups and drop offs that are convenient for you.

About: I’m Bella - Project Manager, Writer and dog lover. I’m reliable, trustworthy and affectionate. I’ve walked dogs my whole life, albeit professionally, or through Trusted House Sitters/Borrow my Doggy. I love their company, and seeing how happy they are after our walks. My schedule is flexible as I work hybrid and happy to arrange pick ups. I love to take dogs with me on a run or hike on the weekend. I have a DBS check, competent with any breed and have a nice garden to play in. I've uploaded some photos of dogs I spend the most time with and love dearly <3 For the most part, I choose my working hours between 9-5. I can walk dogs on my lunch breaks and after work, they may also be walked with other dogs. I have an enclosed garden that pets can run around in. I’m home most days so you can trust your furry friend will have the affection and attention they deserve!

“I'm so pleased with the care that Amber took of Mog. I felt so reassured and would definitely book with her again. Mog was well looked after and fussed over with lots of nice photos and updates. The area that Mog uses in the kitchen was also nice and clean and tidy.”

About: I absolutely love the bond I can create with all animals and would love to give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you are unavailable. I have experience pet sitting for friends and family as well as working in vets practices and have some veterinary nursing training. I have also volunteered at a wildlife rescue and kennels/cattery. My schedule is flexible and I work from home so am able to give your pets the attention they deserve at all times. I am available early morning and evenings for walks. I am happy to stay at/visit your home or take your pets for walks. I'll follow your instructions when it comes to caring for your pets as you know them best! I am comfortable walking, feeding, administering medications, playing and cuddling (of course!) along with any additional reasonable requirements you may have

“Jodie was fantastic, she fed and walked our energetic puppy at lunchtimes for a week. She paid attention to detail and our pup was very happy.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all kinds – from energetic Springer Spaniels and loyal German Shepherds to gentle Labradoodles and mixed breeds. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who need a bit of extra care and patience. I’ve also looked after friends’ pets, including a Romanian rescue dog who needed reassurance and structure, and several house cats who enjoy company, playtime, and a watchful eye to keep them safely indoors. I currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with administering medication, gentle grooming, claw trimming, bathing, and soothing massages for joint comfort. I always aim to provide calm, loving, and reliable care — treating every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part time at a café, and my days there can vary, so I like to keep my schedule flexible. This means I can often fit in dog walks or pet care around my shifts. I don’t drive, but I’m based in Hythe and happy to walk or use public transport to reach nearby areas like Folkestone — I’m used to planning ahead and giving myself plenty of time to get where I need to be. For house sitting, I’m open and flexible, though I do have two lovely dogs of my own, so I’d just need to plan around their care too. I’m always happy to discuss what works best for everyone to make sure all pets are well looked after. When looking after pets in someone else’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m tidy, sensible, and always mindful that I’m a guest in your home. I like to have clear instructions before a stay — things like feeding routines, where pets are allowed to go, and any household rules around windows, doors, or garden access. It helps me make sure everything stays safe and secure. I always double-check that gates and doors are properly closed, keep an eye on anything that could be a safety risk, and make sure pets are comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. My aim is for you to come home to a happy pet and a spotless home.

“Isabelle checked in on our chihuahua Ted and sent photos, he seemed very happy and relaxed when we got back! A trustworthy and friendly sitter, thanks Isabelle!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and have lots of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes (but mainly my dads gorgeous, cute Frenchie, Leah 😍🐾). I enjoy giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, while making sure their walks are safe, fun, and tailored to their energy levels. Whether it’s a long beach stroll, a gentle walk around the block, or just quality company at your own home, I treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐶❤️ I am free from 3.30pm, Monday to Friday. I am also free on weekends. Happy for overnight stays at your home if needed on both weekdays and weekends. I sadly do not have availability to cater for dogs and cats in my own home as I am in a rental property which does not allow pets.

“Ryan was really responsive and supportive especially considering this was a very last minute request and looking after a 5 month old puppy. Would def use Ryan again.”

“Marie was great. She came and met Miso before the planned pop in. She clearly has a love for dogs. She followed Miso's lunchtime routine and sent updates during and when she had left. Miso was left tired and settled from an hour of playing and fuss. Would definitely recommend”

About: I really enjoy the company of dogs and have spent the last eight years getting to know many dogs. I am also a very keen walker so would revel in having a dog to walk with. I live very near the countryside if longer, scenic walks are required. It is a place I love walking in and I'm sure most dogs do too. I can also go for shorter, less rural, walks if that is what the owner desires and the dog requires. I can offer pet sitting at the owner's home and walks most days of the week. Pet sitting at the owner's home can be during the day or overnight if required. I currently can't offer overnight pet sitting at my house. I feel confident around all kinds of dogs and feel that all dogs will be comfortable around me. I don't have a preference in dog size or breed and will take great joy in any happy doggy. I have plenty of free time between shifts at work and the contract I am on also offers flexibility for any duration of dog care. My house has a garden and the garden is fenced. I'm close to the countryside and also to several other green spaces, most of which include dog runs.

About: As a Veterinary Care Assistant, I’m constantly caring for animals in a variety of ways - including regularly walking the animals in our care. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and over the years have owned several animals of my own. I currently have 2 cheeky rabbits, a kitten and up until recently had a loveable labradoodle who I cared for 13 years. I have several years experience walking and dog-sitting. I can care for your furry friend in a variety of ways, please do not hesitate to ask! :) The days and hours I work include: Monday - 8:30am to 7pm Tuesday - 8:30am to 2pm Wednesday - 8:30am to 7pm Thursday - 8:30am to 2pm Friday - 2pm to 7pm And some Saturdays 8:30am to 12:30pm Please feel free to discuss what suits you best and we’ll try and find something mutually beneficial. I have fenced garden and I’m just a three minute walk away from the beach for your pet to enjoy, alongside a fantastic canal path.
