“Sally was great with both Diego and Mila especially considering Mila was in season unfortunately when we went away but Sally was great in managing this and super accommodating”

“Isabelle was absolutely brilliant with Ted, she sent photos to us while we were out which was lovely! Ted really took to her and he was well looked after. She was confident and caring, highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again 🩷”

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.

“Rachel looked after our 3 super clingy cats for a week and she was an absolute dream! She clearly loves cats and cats love her. She really went above and beyond making sure they all had sufficient attention and snuggles (and believe me, that's a challenge with our three clingy cats). We got daily updates about the cat shenanigans and communication was a breeze! We were able to enjoy our holiday and not worry, it was wonderful. She looked after our house beautifully as well and even brought in our recycling bins we had forgotten to tell her about. Highly recommend and we'll be sure to book her again in the future!”

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.

“I was very pleased that my dog Skye and Jazz got on so well together. Skye's an old dog and can get very anxious and not eat when I'm away. But she ate all her food and slept through the night, and seemed very relaxed when I got home, so Jazz must have given her plenty of attention and a good long walk. I'm happy to have booked Jazz for future house sittings. Many thanks.”

“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!”

“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.”

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 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: 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.

About: I’ve always had pets and recently moved out and got my own puppy, Ralph who is now an 18 month old springer spaniel. The nature of my job means I can be pretty flexible with walking and feeding times. I’ll always be at home when caring for animals. Ralph loves other dogs and is very playful but if needed I can keep separate but I think dogs who are friendly with other dogs will be best at my home! I work from home Monday to Friday, so I am always around to keep your dog company! My dog Ralph is very friendly and would love nothing more than some friends to play with I have a decent sized enclosed garden with grass which is perfect for the dogs to play etc. I also have a crate if needed, Ralph no longer uses this and enjoys free roaming but I do have it if necessary

About: Experienced with all temperaments. Able to cater for all needs. Flexible and reliable. I treat every dog as if they are my own making dogs feel safe and loved. Genuine love and passion for dogs and owned them all my life. Im currently working part time but I work from home. I am available every day in the week and I am available weekends and evenings. I have a secured fenced Large Garden. We provide 24hr access to water and access to fresh and dried food. I have crates so any who needs to be can be in a crate during there stay.

“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 :)”
