House Sitting Shepway

“Jazz was absolutely brilliant with Ted, she sent photos and videos to us while we were out which was lovely! Ted really took to her and he was well looked after. As he’s only a puppy we hadn’t left him with anyone before, Jazz was confident and caring, highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again ❤️”

“Sallyanne did an overnight stay in our home with our two little dachshunds. Bean & Bear took to her immediately & we felt very relaxed leaving the boys with her. We received regular updates & arrived home to 2 very happy boys who had had nice long walks and lots of attention. We would absolutely recommend Sallyanne - she’s brilliant!”

“Shaheen was excellent with our labradoodle Norman, and by the time she left, they already seemed to be best friends. She is clearly experienced and knowledgeable about all things dog!! Shaheen was also very responsive to messages and kept us updated with photos and updates throughout the stay. We cannot recommend her enough. Thanks Shaheen!”

“Milena looked after our dog for two weeks and stayed in the house. Milena was excellent in every aspect and gave me a daily update on walks and general updates on Fluffy. The house was kept clean and indeed was cleaner when I came back than when I left on the trip. Fluffy was obviously relaxed and happy and had a great two weeks of love and care from Milena. I would definitely recommend Milena for anyone needing an in-house sitter. I have no complaints and indeed it could not have worked out better. Finding Milena was a huge comfort and allowed me to make a business trip overseas without kennel guilt or other stress for me and the dog. Much appreciated and recommended.”

“Our first time working with Rachel, but we are definitely going to work with her again. Totally reliable and straightforward communications, and great affection for H who got his full walks just as usual. Thank you Rachel”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child , our house was filled with dogs (Jack Russells, Border Collie and Labradors, not all at the same time), horses, budgies, tortoises and even goldfish, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’m calm, patient and confident with all kinds of pets, and I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, loved and relaxed when they’re away from their owners. Whether your doggie requires companionship, regular walks or simply keeping to their routine, I will give every dog the same care and attention that I’d want for my own. I’m retired and at home all day, so your dog will have company, attention and a calm, settled environment. My home is quiet and relaxed, which makes it especially suitable for nervous dogs, older dogs or those who simply enjoy a slower pace. There are countryside walks on my doorstep and the beach isn't too far away if you don't mind me taking your dog there. I live on a quiet road with a small, secure fenced garden where dogs can relax safely. Countryside walks are right on my doorstep, giving every dog plenty of fresh air, gentle adventure and a peaceful change of scenery. 🐾 My Experience Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. I grew up in a home full of pets — dogs, budgies, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, you name it, we had it. Later, when I married, we had a succession of Dobermans who were very much part of the family. Our last one sadly passed away two years ago, and caring for other people’s dogs now brings me a lot of joy and purpose. Your dog will be treated with the same love, patience and respect I’ve always given my own.

“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters than Lorenzo and Yelyzaveta! They took amazing care of our two dogs ( jack russell and a collie cross) while we were travelling to Australia. They checked in regularly , providing updates and photos as well as to ask any questions regarding the dogs behaviour to make sure it was normal for the pups ( it was!), which really showed how attentive and caring they are. One of our dogs requires a couple of medications , and they handled that without any issues. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love spending time with dogs — our two were happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable when we got home. They also looked after the house beautifully and went above and beyond to leave everything in great shape, even making sure there was still enough cooked dog food ready and washing the sheets as our in-laws were arriving straight after. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave to both our pets and our home. We would absolutely have them back anytime and can’t recommend them highly enough!”

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.

About: I have my own dog, a small bichon male neutered dog. Friendly, loves other dogs. He is a rescue from the Canterbury’s dogs trust, so I understand the challenges that come with this. I’ve previously owned a Labrador who I cared for in her old age. I have also looked after other people’s dogs through ‘borrow-my-dogggy’. I have a solid understanding of dog behaviour and my mother in law is a dog trainer. I am a freelancer and work remotely, so my schedule is very open. I am flexible and happy to come to you if required and within an ok distance. I have a fenced garden and one friendly 3 year old bichon. I have a car if needed for walks, collection, drop off or vet appointments. I live in a 3 bedroom house.

“Debbie is amazing! Albert loved her and I felt totally confident leaving him in her care which says it all really. Lovely lady highly recommend.”

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.

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 😊

About: I've looked after friends and families dogs whilst they are away on holiday, I used to walk my neighbours dog as young as 8. I lived in Australia for a year on a farm and always helped out with the animals and would love spending time with the working dogs. I currently work from home except for Thursday's. However, if your dog doesn't like to be left then I could potentially be able to work from home on that day if required but this would need to be confirmed during booking as id need to give my work notice and make sure this is ok. I currently don't have any pets, I am happy to come to your home and look after them or take them for walks/check in/ feed them. Also happy to do over night stays.

“While we stayed in Hythe for a week, Ina looked after our little pooch Izzy on three occasions. Ina is really flexible, responsive, and most importantly little izzy genuinely adored Ina. Her tail was going like the clappers every time Ina arrived! Many thanks Ina :)”
