“Fabien and his family are so lovely. They took such good care of sully. Sully has some issues and they were so helpful in making sure he wasn’t anxious or put in difficult situations.”
“We contacted Abby at extremely late notice for care for our dog, Penny, owing to plans having fallen through. Abbey coordinated a meet to ensure Penny was comfortable and confirmed she could look after Penny for us. Whilst away, Abbey communicated regularly, giving us updates of Penny. She really looked after her, Penny has clearly had a great time and I’d absolutely return to Abbey if we ever find ourselves needing care cover again. Thank you so much.”
“Our miniature dachshund Maeve has just stayed with Lucy for 5 nights and she had the best time. Lucy was so good at keeping us updated with pictures while we were away so we were completely relaxed. We’ve already booked Maeve in again as Lucy was so good with her.”
“Rocky had an amazing time with Laura and her family. The videos during his stay were awesome and reassured me what a fabulous time he was having in very safe and caring hands”
“We recently left our dog Banff with Roz while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He seemed completely at ease, clearly enjoying his time — especially the cuddles! We really appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave us peace of mind and always brought a smile to our faces. Roz clearly has a genuine love for animals, and Banff looked so content in every picture. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again — highly recommended!”
“We’ve just picked up our dog after a 2 week stay with Jen. He has had a great time with her and her family. We had regular photos while we were away so we could see how happy he was. I was a bit anxious about leaving Snoop because he’s only young but I had nothing to worry about. Jen offers a home away from home and I think Snoop would have happily stayed there forever. I have no hesitation to recommend Jen and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs in my life since I was very young - With experience of house sitting for village friends and close family and friends. I absolutely love getting to know each pet and their funny little personalities. I regularly dog sit for friends who go away for a period of time - I don’t currently have any pets that are living with me so any fur friends I care for have my full attention. I’m currently working 9 to 5 Mon - Fri but I am available most weekends starting from Friday evenings. I am also available to walk dogs or check in first thing in the morning before work and after work throughout the week. I work local to Marden so if there is a need for someone to check in on a pet around the area, I am free to do so. If needed, I can care for pets in my own home however, I do have limited space so I can only cater for small to medium sized dogs - I have a small court yard garden however there are miles of fields that surround me for long walks.
“Beth looked after our husky again this Summer, and we knew she couldn't be in better hands. Caring, professional and highly experienced. Can't recommend Beth highly enough. A real super 🌟 and we look forward to seeing her again soon”
About: We're a family of five - mum, dad and three very friendly kids aged 6, 4 and 4, and dogs have always been part of our home. We had our own dog for 13 years until 2024, so our children have grown up around dogs and are completely comfortable and gentle with them: feeding, walking, playing, the lot. We have a good-sized fenced garden for safe off-lead time, and we back directly onto a long walk over the Lamberhurst fields and up through the vineyard - great for dogs who love to explore. Our house is lively, warm and used to having a dog underfoot, and we'd love to give that same care to your pet while you're away. Mum is a stay-at-home mum and Dad works part-time from home, so there's always someone around during the day. Pet care fits naturally into our routine — walks, feeding and playtime happen throughout the day rather than being squeezed in around a 9-to-5, and we're flexible with timings to suit your dog's usual schedule We have a good-sized fenced garden, so your dog can safely spend time off-lead outdoors. Our three children (6, 4 and 4) are very used to being around dogs and know how to behave calmly and gently with them. We're happy to follow your dog's usual routine for feeding, walks and any other needs to keep things familiar and stress-free.

About: Hi, I’m Zimi! 🐶 I’ve been caring for pets for around 20 years, including running my own dog walking and pet sitting business and studying animal care in college. Along the way, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older dogs, and even travelling across Europe helping large groups of rescue dogs. This gave me lots of experience reading dog body language, understanding different temperaments, and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. I have experience with training and mental stimulation with fun games! I also have my own rescue dog who is reactive, which has taught me a lot about patience, calm handling, and understanding anxious or shy dogs. Because of this, I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra reassurance and care. Right now, I don’t host dogs at my home, but I love walking, visiting, and spending time with pets in their own environment, giving them plenty of love, attention, and fun while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or shy and slow-paced, I adjust my approach to suit their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need a calm presence, extra reassurance, or gentle handling. I’m currently working part time with an incredibly flexible schedule, so please feel free to ask about any timings that you might need and we can go from there. I take the safety and wellbeing of every pet very seriously. Every walk, visit, and in-home stay is carefully planned to ensure your dog or cat feels secure, happy, and comfortable! I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and cues, so pets always feel supported and stress free. I provide a calm, structured environment, whether we’re walking outside, exploring new spaces, or staying at home. For pets with special needs, anxiety, or shyness, I’m especially attentive and patient, making sure routines are followed and pets feel safe. I communicate openly with owners, sending regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I strive to create an environment where pets and their humans feel confident and relaxed. I am very empathetic and understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I strive to deliver a service I myself would be happy with.
“I am really happy with service that Libby has given, my dog and cat both loved her she is a very lovely person would recommend and will definitely be booking her again when we go away next. Thank you very much for looking after my dog and cat”

“Robert was super helpful and quick to respond. His two dogs and his family welcomed her immediately and I immediately felt so happy leaving her . He sent loads of updates and videos which was great ! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!!”
About: I offer a safe, happy, and attentive environment for your dog, whether it’s for walks, day visits, or overnight stays. As a current pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family - with plenty of affection, exercise, and individual attention to keep tails wagging and owners reassured. I work full time Monday to Friday and am fortunate to be able to bring my dog with me, meaning plenty of company, daily walks, and regular play throughout the day. I offer a warm, structured, and engaging environment, and am available to care for your dog for day sitting or weekend boarding from Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I have a large, secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor play, along with a friendly 10-month-old puppy who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a sociable, relaxed environment. Inside the home, pets are treated as part of the family, with plenty of supervision, routine, and individual attention. I am also happy to crate dogs if required, ensuring I can follow your pets usual routine and preferences. My approach remains consistent across all services, with care tailored to suit each pets needs.

Constant company and regularly toilet breaks that fit with your dog’s schedule are vital for a happy and healthy dog. As well as fitting in the most important part of the day - DINNER
