“Lucinda was absolutely wonderful looking after my dog, Marley, while I was away at my brother’s wedding. She kept me updated throughout, which gave me real peace of mind, and it was clear Marley was having a lovely time going on walks and playing at home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — Marley came back happy and relaxed. I’d definitely recommend Lucinda to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Peter has such a great rapport with Eloise. It is clear in the daily videos and photos that she is relaxed, is getting a lot of attention and is well cared for. I recommend Peter's pet boarding services.”
“Marley spent another three nights with Wan Jeong, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. It’s already becoming a second home for her, she settles in beautifully and always comes back relaxed, happy, and full of love. Marley absolutely adores Wan Jeong. The gentle care, constant attention, and thoughtful updates make it clear how special their bond is. I feel completely at ease knowing Marley is safe and loved when she’s there. We are incredibly grateful to have found someone so kind, trustworthy, and dedicated. Thank you once again, Wan Jeong. Marley can’t wait for her next stay!”
“My 11 year old cockapoo Bella stayed overnight with Elisa and family. She settled in very quickly, which she often doesn’t in new places, and loved her time there. Elisa kept me updated with lots of photos and messages. Elisa is easy to get on with and is obviously a true dog lover! I 100% recommend.”
“Jelena was absolutely marvelous!! She has a natural affinity with dogs and Lola had a lovely stay. She had lots of exercise and was very well looked after. Every day we received pictures of our happy girl having a wonderful time. Thanks again Jelena and see you next time!”
“Lizzy and her family are lovely and welcoming Lola had a great stay, was extremely well look after. I highly recommend Lizzy and her family for anyone that is in need of dog care. I will only ever go to lizzy in for future dog care. Thank you x”
About: I've always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, caring, and reliable service, treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, including energetic puppies and older dogs that need a slower pace and extra patience. I'm happy to stick to your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, administering oral medication if required, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Being active means I can provide long walks and engaging exercise for high-energy dogs, while also understanding when a quieter, gentler approach is needed for senior pets. I'm reliable, punctual, and know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. My priority is making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and make time every day for walks, outdoor exercise, and spending time with dogs. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routine, so I'm happy to follow your dog's normal schedule, whether that's early morning walks, medication, meal times, or evening cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and always make sure the pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. For me, looking after dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping to their normal routine. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements before their stay. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of affection. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable place to rest. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll respect your property as if it were my own while maintaining your pet's usual routine to help them feel settled. I'm also happy to administer oral medication if needed, provide regular toilet breaks, and send photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. I understand how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own.
“Our dog Molly had a wonderful 10 days with Nicola and her family. Nicola is warm, caring and very communicative, providing us with regular updates and photos. Nicola and her family clearly love dogs and provide a warm and welcoming environment. We will absolutely be asking her to care for Molly again!”
“Kayleigh was an absolute dream and we could tell that our Greyhound Wesley was in for a very special time with her while we were on holiday. We had regular pupdates from Kayleigh and it was clear early on that Wes felt comfortable and relaxed, and pictures and videos of him with a waggy tail made us feel like we made the right choice in finding someone to look after him. We would not hesitate to recommend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for someone to look after their dog!”
“Sarah was brilliant with our cockapoo, plenty of photos and videos letting us know how he was doing and accommodating to his dietary requirements etc. Will 100% recommend and use again ⭐️”

He got on really well with her dog and will definitely be back to visit again. Thoroughly recommend Meghan to anyone anxious about leaving their beloved pet with her. 🥰”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had a cat throughout my life, so animals have always been a bit part of my life. My grandparents also used to regularly dog-sit, which meant that I grew up around lots of different dogs and loved caring for them. I’m a genuine animal lover and would treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m responsible, patient and attentive, and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I’ve recently completed my BSc in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. My degree has developed my responsibility, attention to detail, and understanding of health and wellbeing, all of which I feel are valuable when caring for animals. I’m available throughout the week and at the weekends and am happy to work around your pets usual routine. I have a secure, fenced garden and a friendly cat at home, and am used to having animals around. I’ll always take the time to understand your pets individual routine, personality, and will follow any instructions you provide carefully.

About: Hi, I’m Michelle — a warm, friendly animal lover based in Canterbury. I live with my German Shorthaired Pointer, Otis, and two cats, Brownie and Peanut, so I’m very used to a busy, happy home with different personalities and energy levels. I’m new to offering dog care through Rover, but I bring years of real‑life experience as a dedicated pet owner. Living with both a high‑energy dog and calm, independent cats has taught me how to create a relaxed, safe environment where animals feel comfortable and understood. My approach is gentle, reliable, and calm. I’m easy to communicate with, and I’ll always make sure you feel updated and reassured while your dog is with me. I currently have plenty of flexibility in my week, which means I can offer reliable support for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and spending quality time with your animals.

I’m happy to separate animals when needed, and I can crate dogs safely and kindly — Otis used to be crated, so I’m very familiar with this. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. I enjoy taking dogs on both long, scenic walks and shorter, interesting routes depending on what suits them best.

About: Diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking. I currently reside with Dolly the miniature pinscher, who is a rescue with one eye, with my 9 yr old son. Before Dolly, I had a Jack Russell named Rocky whose confidence outweighed his stature. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses and small furries in my years and treat them as family not just pets. I work full time but work from home half of the week. I am flexible with my working hours and can take lunch breaks when it is needed. I have a fenced back garden and am just a short hop from lots of local parks surrounding the River Stour. Any dogs in my home are welcome on sofas and beds and cuddles are free. When walking dogs I am careful with meeting other dogs and ensure the lead is on.
About: Cats have always been part of my life — I grew up with them, and I’ve had my own since buying my first flat ten years ago. I’m very used to their unique personalities and rhythms, and I love offering calm, gentle care that helps them feel safe and understood.

“It was so good to know our dog Angel was with a brilliant sitter. U could see he loves dogs and looks after them.. i would like to book Peter S again. Many thanks for helping us so we could spend time in Derbyshire with my family, Excellent sitter.”
About: I may have no experience with my own pet, I frequently took care of my brothers, including feeding her, and taking her on walks. I would take care of her for weeks at a time. I am currently a student, but I have finished all of my lectures, so I have a lot of free time. I can follow any schedule I need to to take care of dogs. I have a big open garden where the dog can play around, and my area has a park close by, so they can get lots of needed exercise in. In the pet-owners home, I will create a schedule to follow, when to eat, go for a pee and when to take on long walks.

After saying goodbye to my beloved fur-son last year I do not currently have pets myself (still too bereft!)

“This was 7mth Sullivan's first 'stopover' away from home! - and it was a real home from home stay. We met Dean through the app and had a 'meet and greet' as I had a day in London planned later with a friend. I felt I could leave Sullivan with the confidence that he would be looked after and welcomed as the excited playful pup he is. Dean updated me through the day with pics showing me a happy settled pup having a lovely walk in the orchard and lounging on the sofa! Thank you Dean (and family) I was able to enjoy my day out and collected a tired but relaxed pup at the end. Excellent!”
“Wan Jeong took very good care of my puppy. He has a lot of energy and can be a handful but she was really great with him, and I felt reassured knowing he was in safe hands. She was always curious and wanting to learn more about him, and was very attentive to his needs.”

About: Since the age of 15 I have been caring for my own dogs. I have had a Doberman and a French Bulldog- two very different characters and both the reason why I have such a love for dogs. I have been a nanny for most of my life and within this I care for their dogs too. I love keeping dogs company, playing with them and caring for them in any way they need or are used to. I also love finding new places to walk whether that be at the beach, woods or playing fields in the area. I always like to meet and greet your dog before booking in because I think it’s important to know your current routine with your dog and get to know what may make them anxious, what they enjoy and anything you think I may need to know prior to being in my care. I am currently available Thursday-Sunday for walks & pop-ins. As from October 26, I will be opening my calendar to full time dog care. Please check my calendar for weekly availability. I will follow the routine you have with your pet as much as possible. I know lots of local walks to Canterbury and surrounding so your dog will get lots of stimulating walks and play time. I have experience with many breeds and sizes of different dogs. I have experience in lead and recall training. I will always be aware of safety in the summer- I will walk dogs early in the morning on hot days and always provide plenty of water and a cooling mat. I will love and care for your dogs just as they were my own.

I'm reliable, punctual, and know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. My priority is making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and make time every day for walks, outdoor exercise, and spending time with dogs. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routine, so I'm happy to follow your dog's normal schedule, whether that's early morning walks, medication, meal times, or evening cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and always make sure the pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. For me, looking after dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping to their normal routine. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements before their stay. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of affection. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable place to rest. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll respect your property as if it were my own while maintaining your pet's usual routine to help them feel settled. I'm also happy to administer oral medication if needed, provide regular toilet breaks, and send photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. I understand how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own.

About: I have had 2 dogs from the age of just 11 with over 15 years experience in dog care and caring for neighbours dogs housesitting and walking. Currently working full time with maximum 2 days a week at home over the working week. I am available for boarding over the weekend and walking in the evenings. Currently Living just outside Canterbury but happy to travel into Canterbury for dog walking and house sitting opportunity’s! Always want to great the dogs with happiness and make them feel comfortable!
About: Hello there I’m Nicola, a caring and highly experienced dog walker/ sitter serving Canterbury and surrounding villages. I only look after solo pets and those from the same household. My 'speciality' is reassuring nervous dogs (as well as anxious owners!) I can be flexibly with my availability; whether you need regular weekday walks or occasional pet services. I work fully remotely so make a great daytime companion (I am a part-time researcher/ advocate for refugee rights). If you require a pet service not explicit on my profile do get in touch, I am always open to new ideas and learning new skills. I have had rescue dogs throughout my life, including "failed" police dogs and elderly dogs. Previously, I fostered Romanian rescue dogs, ahead of helping them find their forever homes. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with mobility and/ or health considerations. I already have some regular dog walking Clients but have recently gained capacity to take on more work (I am new to Rover). I am now also available for pet sitting whether at my home or yours. I have an enclosed garden, and my home is located a short distance from public footpaths and fields. After saying goodbye to my beloved fur-son last year I do not currently have pets myself (still too bereft!) I have a primary school aged child who is very used to dogs of all ages and sizes (but this would need to be considered ahead of overnight stays my home). I have 25+ years' experience caring for my own/ other people's pets, including in their own homes. As well as previously fostering Romanian rescue dogs, I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with health considerations. I am also highly experienced in working with vulnerable people. I hold an enhanced DBS check and my own insurance.
About: I'm a lifelong pet owner, including horses, cats and - most notably - dogs. I've raised and cared for three dogs from puppies through to old age, plus adopting one rescue dog. These have been Alsatians, Welsh Collies and (we think!) some kind of Whippet/ Saluki cross. I've also got plenty of experience with a range of other breeds through friends and family. I understand that the most important thing for your own and your pet's happiness is to support your care and training approach, and am committed to working with you to keep everyone's tails wagging! I work flexibly from home, so can generally be very flexible in terms of availability. The only day with limited availability is a Sunday, due to family commitments, but otherwise can work around your schedule. Within your home, I would look to maintain a normal routine as much as possible to minimise any impact on your dog. I am happy to dispense medication, as well as feed, entertain and walk. I can also water plants and provide basic care for other pets if required. I understand and respect that this is your home, and would look to return it to you in the same condition it was in at the beginning of the visit.
About: I am the pet parent of two large rescue dogs that are now getting on in years - but I’ve seen it all! I’ve been a regular dog walker for neighbours, so I’m familiar with all ages from puppy through to senior, and all personalities including high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and those that pull. I know great local routes for doggie adventures tailored to your pet’s needs. I work from home on a flexible schedule, and am always interested in an opportunity for a brisk walk or a home visit with a furry friend. I'm often available for last minute bookings. Each dog has unique needs, and I am careful to follow any instructions specific to your pet, including reinforcing your training routines. I prioritize your pet’s safety, having completed a dog emergency first aid course. When doing house visits I will ensure your home remains secure and clean while providing personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and happy.
About: I have taken care of cars of every kind for 2years. Experienced with petting, feeding, playing and medication. I will take care your cat very well. My cat will be isolated upstairs so don’t worry about two cats fighting 😂 I currently have a full time work. So I’ll be available before 9am and after 5pm. So don’t hesitate to book 2 visit a day! I usually will play with the cat first so they will be friendly and familiar with me. Then I’ll feed the cat and stroke the cat Hi I'm currently WFH all week, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your cats! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays I have a fenced yard and if you are fine, the cat can have some fresh air in the garden with me watching 👀. Also, my cat will be isolated upstairs so don’t worry about two cats fighting 😂
About: Hi, I’m Michelle — a warm, friendly animal lover based in Canterbury. I live with my German Shorthaired Pointer, Otis, and two cats, Brownie and Peanut, so I’m very used to a busy, happy home with different personalities and energy levels. I’m new to offering dog care through Rover, but I bring years of real‑life experience as a dedicated pet owner. Living with both a high‑energy dog and calm, independent cats has taught me how to create a relaxed, safe environment where animals feel comfortable and understood. My approach is gentle, reliable, and calm. I’m easy to communicate with, and I’ll always make sure you feel updated and reassured while your dog is with me. I currently have plenty of flexibility in my week, which means I can offer reliable support for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and spending quality time with your animals. I live with my GSP and two cats, so I’m used to supporting pets with different needs and personalities. We have a safe, fully walled garden where dogs can relax and explore securely. I’m happy to separate animals when needed, and I can crate dogs safely and kindly — Otis used to be crated, so I’m very familiar with this. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. I enjoy taking dogs on both long, scenic walks and shorter, interesting routes depending on what suits them best.

“Our dog Molly had a wonderful 10 days with Nicola and her family. Nicola is warm, caring and very communicative, providing us with regular updates and photos. Nicola and her family clearly love dogs and provide a warm and welcoming environment. We will absolutely be asking her to care for Molly again!”
“Kayleigh was an absolute dream and we could tell that our Greyhound Wesley was in for a very special time with her while we were on holiday. We had regular pupdates from Kayleigh and it was clear early on that Wes felt comfortable and relaxed, and pictures and videos of him with a waggy tail made us feel like we made the right choice in finding someone to look after him. We would not hesitate to recommend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for someone to look after their dog!”
“Sarah was brilliant with our cockapoo, plenty of photos and videos letting us know how he was doing and accommodating to his dietary requirements etc. Will 100% recommend and use again ⭐️”
“As usual, our dog had a great stay with Lisa and family. They take her on great adventures and look after her so well. I’m always really happy and it’s lovely to feel confident that your dog is being so well cared for.”
“Yevgeniia took great care of Toby and was supportive with his needs and made him feel relaxed and settled whilst we were at work. With a lot of knowledge of dog behaviours, I would feel confident in Toby staying again and would recommend. Thank you for your support :)”
“Katrina and her sister were both lovely and caring for Prince. He had a lovely time with them and I definitely recommend them. They are really good at keeping you updated about everything.”
“Ziggy spent a few nights with Meghan and knowing he was so well taken care of really helped me relax on my holiday. Meghan sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing in the heatwave. He got on really well with her dog and will definitely be back to visit again. Thoroughly recommend Meghan to anyone anxious about leaving their beloved pet with her. 🥰”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had a cat throughout my life, so animals have always been a bit part of my life. My grandparents also used to regularly dog-sit, which meant that I grew up around lots of different dogs and loved caring for them. I’m a genuine animal lover and would treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m responsible, patient and attentive, and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I’ve recently completed my BSc in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. My degree has developed my responsibility, attention to detail, and understanding of health and wellbeing, all of which I feel are valuable when caring for animals. I’m available throughout the week and at the weekends and am happy to work around your pets usual routine. I have a secure, fenced garden and a friendly cat at home, and am used to having animals around. I’ll always take the time to understand your pets individual routine, personality, and will follow any instructions you provide carefully. Your pets safety and wellbeing will always be my priority, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection while they’re with me.
“Sangeeta is great! Very kind, responsive, and welcoming. We had a meet and greet before booking the stay, which was lovely since the pups were familiar with her and her house when it came time for their vacation. We received lots of pictures and videos and could tell our babies were well taken care of while we are gone. Would definitely book again.”
“Just picked up Lola after a 5 day stay with Natalia. This was her second stay and again she was a very happy girl. She had 3 walks a day and loved to play ball. Natalia kept us updated and frequently sent pictures that were very reassuring. Next time Lola will have a longer stay. Highly recommended.”

“James and Heather were fantastic! Grace loved them and loved her stay there. They sent me updates, photos and videos and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve seen Grace so happy with a border. I highly recommend them (although I didn’t want to as I want to keep them all for myself!) 🤣”
“Dean was fantastic with my 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Great communication - with updates, photos and videos throughout the stay. I'd definitely recommend Dean as a sitter. I think my dog had a great time and will be using Dean again ☺️”
