“We are more than pleased with deciding to leave Simba in Yu's hands. We were nervous about leaving him with someone new while we were out with a friend for the evening but I'm glad we took the jump. Simba seemed to bond instantly and was a well worn out pup when we got back. When we are next back in Folkestone we will definitely look to use Yu again! Was a pleasure to have lil man looked after under such great hands.”


“Excellent Dog Sitter and Beyond! Tamara took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She is not only responsible and caring but also went above and beyond by providing some fantastic recommendations. My dog absolutely loves her, and I could not be more pleased with her service. Highly recommended!”


“Christine and her husband are both very warm and friendly people who welcomed Barney with open arms. He was very happy to run straight up to them for a fuss, and clearly felt right at home. I received updates from Christine while we were away, and when we arrived to collect Barney he was very much part of their home, and you could tell he was very happy there. Christine was very careful to follow our care notes, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. In fact, I've made a second booking!”


“Another wonderful stay with Charlotte. Bailey just loves staying here and is looked after as if he is part of the family. Lots of photos and messages during his stay. We will use Charlotte again.”


About: As an experienced dog owner and sitter, I really understand what dogs need, especially those high-energy ones like my Irish Setter! What makes me stand out is my personalised approach - I always tailor the care based on your dog’s unique personality and energy levels. Whether your puppy needs a bit of structure with basic training or your older dog just needs some gentle love and care, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well looked after. And since I’ve got plenty of experience with energetic dogs, I’m always up for long walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise! I love building a bond with each dog I look after, so they feel comfortable and have fun, whether they’re staying with me or we’re off on an adventure together! As a self-employed artist with flexible working hours, I have the freedom to adapt my schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it’s providing daytime companionship, early morning walks, or evening care, I can easily adjust my routine to ensure your dog gets the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. My flexibility allows me to give your pet the care they deserve, whenever it fits best into your schedule. When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure they get plenty of attention and stick to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply being present, I aim to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner. During walks, I focus on more than just exercise-I also provide mental stimulation. We might explore new routes, practice some tricks, or engage in interactive play to keep their minds as active as their bodies. And for high-energy dogs, I love offering energetic, long walks with plenty of play and running around, ensuring they get the activity they need to stay happy and healthy.

“Holly is lovely, took Rufus overnight at very short notice, sent picture and message updates throughout his visit. Very easy communication. Will definitely book Rufus in for another stay soon”


About: For a decade, I have cared for and had many dogs of my own. I have been trusted by many to provide food, exercise, and affection for their beloved pets. Weekends are open for booking. Both myself and my partner Jack can accommodate your schedule and tailor our services to meet your preferences. We may also be able to schedule appointments on weekdays with advanced notice. I have a secure fenced garden for your fur babies to roam - However live very close to the beach with a promenade for the perfect walks.

“Anette looked after Shaya brilliantly with regular photos and updates on how she was doing which gave us real peace of mind. Shaya seemed very happy and settled with Anette and we will definitely ask her to sit for us again.”


“Meg was very well cared for throughout her stay with Marie, not sure she wanted to come home! Marie is a great communicator, both during the booking process and Meg’s stay with her. She took great care to understand Meg’s medication and foibles and we received regular check ins with photos during our holiday. We would highly recommend Marie and hope she is available when we take our next ‘dog free’ holiday”


“Agnieszka was taking care of my dog and cat, and she was terrific. I am pretty sure I was not missed by my pets at all 😊. She took the doggie to many new places, and I can tell from the pictures that she enjoyed it a lot. Agnieszka kept me informed daily in words and via pictures. Agnieszka owns an adorable dog named Pumpkin, who was very friendly to both. On top of the excellent carrying she did, the doggie got a toy she had fond of and homemade cookies. I highly recommend Agnieszka to any owner who might be nervous about leaving the loving pet with a new person.”
