“Jodie is amazing with our puppy! Given Ace is our first puppy, we were nervous about needing to leave him for work and about needing to use a dog walker whilst we were away but Jodie always makes a real effort to ensure we're updated and reassured Ace is doing well on his walks which is really comforting! Ace always looks like he is having the best time from our pup updates and it's clear Jodie takes really good care of him - he is always in the best of moods after! We're very grateful to have found such a great dog walker for our little guy! :)”

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.
About: Well trained dog & cat mum… yes, they train you! Drop ins & walks are my specialty 😊 I work full time, but I work from home most of the week. I have flexible working, so not tied to a 9-5 agenda thankfully. At home I have a small, fenced garden & local dog park only a short walk away. In your home, I’m happy to cater to how you need your pets to experience and respect your environment.
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 and have a lovely big garden for dogs to play in. 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 do have a mostly secure garden but won’t be able to take any dogs who are able to jump fences as the fence between me and my neighbour isn’t very high and we also have a big hedge on the other side which hasn’t been problem with my sisters dog but if you’re dog is a professional escape artist then this probably won’t work for them.
About: With many years of dedicated pet ownership and hands-on pet care under my belt, I bring compassion, experience, and genuine joy to every walk and visit. Whether your beloved dog needs an energetic adventure, your cat craves gentle company, or your small pets require attentive care—I create safe, comforting routines tailored to each animal’s personality. Having walked dogs, cared for pets of all sizes, and supported countless animals throughout my life, I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your world. My commitment: reliability, loving attention, and an understanding of the little quirks that make every pet special. Your furry family members are in experienced, trustworthy hands—so you can relax knowing they’ll enjoy every moment, just as much as I do. As a self-employed artist, I'm free to fit my schedules around your pets needs... I may even have time to rustle up a quick sketch of your fur baby. I follow your pet's established routine for feeding, walks, playtime and medication, ensuring as little disruption as possible. I offer calm, nurturing company, whether your pet prefers active engagement, snuggles or just peaceful presence.
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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 14 even though they were family dogs I considered them my own I will also do the same with your animal I’m currently not working so I’m free all the time . However I’m starting college in September doing animal care so my schedule maybe be less I have a back garden but however I’m only going to be walking dogs outside as I have a family dog that’s a bit more cautious around other dogs

“Very good, got on well with Whitti who doesn’t usually take to strangers, in fact he was looking for Lee to come for him. Always on time and excellent walk .very pleased Will ask for Lee next time.”
About: I have been walking my friend's dog for about 4 years and he has recently become blind. I am very protective of him when walking. I have recently taken early retirement. I have many hobbies but walking is my main one so dog walking would fit nicely into that. I have always loved dogs. I think I have had empty nest syndrome since my 3 children left home 😁 We have a large garden but the dog wouldn't be able to be left there on its own as it is not secure. I would have to take it out on the lead.
