“Our dog, Huxley has just stayed with Becky while we were away for the weekend. He was really excited to see her again and looked instantly at home. He came back on Sunday, tired, relaxed and very happy. Becky sent us pictures and was really friendly and professional throughout. Really helpful too, when I needed to adjust all the travel plans due to train changes. We saw Hux went on some fab walks and looked really settled at her home. She made the whole experience really easy for us and we're looking forward to using her again. We highly recommend Becky!”
About: Throughout my life we’ve always had dogs, cats and even reptiles- from Yorkshire terriers and beared dragons up to Boa constrictors and our current Rottweilers I’ve personally trained 4 Rottweilers (3 males 1 bitch) and had the pleasure of raising over 30 pups over the years. As with all big dogs it’s a short life and we’ve recently lost 3 of our 4 (13yrs, 12yrs and 11yrs) a great innings considering their life expectancy we lost our girl due to old age and two males due to cancer- Due to the incredible focus needed to have these breeds it’s given me and my partner great first hand experience of dealing with power, reactive behaviour and general big dog issues. We swear and live by proactive measures ensuring that we avoid tense situations and all cost and do all teaching via reinforcement and care. We spend all and every weekend exploring the uk countryside with Odin, so we’re looking to be able to care for dogs that fit into that lifestyle We live on a large boat, which is out of the water at the moment- we have safety nets and ramps set up so all areas are accessible and safe. Any dog staying with us overnight will have their own cabin onboard :)
“Moo had a very pleasant stay overnight for the first time away with Robert. I went to pick her up the next morning and she jumped on the sofa and didnt want to come home! I know that she feels safe with Robert and would happily leave her again overnight with him with no worries.”
About: I offer a highly versatile, confident, and reliable approach to pet care. My experience spans the entire spectrum of the canine world, meaning your dog—no matter their size or personality—will be in expert hands. ❄️ Arctic Sled Dog & Pack Experience I have unique, hands-on experience managing a pack of working Huskies during a sledding expedition in the Arctic Circle of Sweden. This involved looking after my own team and assisting with the wider pack in extreme conditions—handling everything from feeding and harness management to understanding complex pack dynamics and high-energy behavior. 🏡 Gentle Care for Smaller Breeds While I'm entirely confident with large, high-energy breeds, I am equally experienced in providing the gentle, attentive care required for smaller dogs. I have extensive experience looking after two small dogs, meaning I completely understand the finer details of small-dog care—from keeping a watchful eye on them around bigger dogs to managing their specific exercise routines and making sure they feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly pampered. Whether your dog needs a high-energy handler who can match their stamina, or a calm, comforting companion for cuddles and structured routines, I adapt perfectly to what they need. As a part-time personal trainer, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to your pets. Because fitness is my job, I have the stamina and energy for long, active walks, making me the perfect fit for high-energy dogs who love to explore and burn off energy! I can easily structure my day around your dog's specific routine, feeding times, and exercise needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I treat their property and their routine with the utmost respect, ensuring doors are locked, feeding schedules are met precisely, and the environment remains calm. On walks, my background as a fitness professional means I am alert, physically strong enough to handle large or pulling dogs safely on a lead, and fully focused on keeping your dog secure and happy at all times.

“This was the first time we have left Willow with someone overnight as we had to travel away for a family event. Sophie was very pleasant and kept us up to date with photos and messages.

We are so happy to have found Sophie and her family and would most definitely recommend her and would most definitely book with her again.”

About: Calm, home-from-home dog boarding by the beach 🐾 I offer a relaxed, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Living right by the beach means plenty of fresh air, walks, and a calm routine — it’s like a little holiday for them while you’re away. I keep things small and personal, usually caring for just one dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, consistency, and a stress-free environment, which works especially well for more sensitive or excitable dogs. I’m experienced with a range of temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m confident following your routines — whether that’s feeding, training, or medication. Owners often say they feel completely at ease knowing their dog is in safe hands, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility for walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’m active and out walking daily, making sure your dog gets a good balance of exercise and downtime. I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine and sleeping arrangements to help them settle in comfortably. I'm currently working part time so I've got lots of time to walk/ play with your pup. I'm very active and walk/run daily. I can be available most weekends also and daytimes too. I don't have a crate at home but we're happy to have your pet sleep in the living room (on the couch if prerable). Happy to accommodate any need

About: 4-Star Licensed Home Dog Boarder Licensed by Dover District Council (Licence No. 57753) and fully insured, operating under Dingo Dog Care™. I board one dog at a time to provide calm, personalised, home-from-home care. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always felt second nature to me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs whether that’s long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or plenty of cuddles. Pet care is central to my daily routine. As I board only one dog at a time, my schedule is organised entirely around their needs including walks, feeding, play, rest, and companionship. Whether your dog needs daytime care, overnight house sitting, or home boarding with me, they will receive calm, focused attention, reassurance, and consistent care throughout. In my home, dogs are supervised, settled into a quiet routine, and cared for in line with their usual habits and preferences. When caring for a dog in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain familiarity and minimise disruption. I always prioritise wellbeing, gentle handling, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I go on long walks every day and would love to have some dogs to accompany me. I have a lot of love to give and would not just watch and care for your pet, I would genuinely spend time with them and have fun and play. I am a self employed singer, so I am home most days. When I work it’s usually evenings or I go abroad for a few days. But when I’m not working, I’m home full time and spend my days going on long walks. I have a very large garden which is just grass and has full fencing all the way around so lots of space for the dogs to run around and play. Dogs will be allowed to go in any room in the house and are allowed on the furniture if that’s what they are used to in their own home.

We are both calm natured and believe love and kindness bring out the best in dogs.

We are avid walkers so we are happy with energetic dogs, also love cuddles for the lazier ones. I am currently working from home freelance so I have a lot of time and can work from anywhere. We are both very flexible and can happily stay out. I have a lot of experience with dogs big and small, I will be able to walk, feed and give your pets the attention and love they need and want.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 18, was a house sitter for multiple animals at the same time. Love going on multiple walks per day around the beach and parks local to me. Love having dogs socialise with each other as I have a dog myself, he loves playing with other dogs. Love spoiling dogs and giving them the world they deserve. I don't necessarily have any special training that I can provide for your dog, however I will always make sure they are well behaved! Working from home gives me a lot of time with the dogs , I will usually keep the back door open all day so they can go into the garden when they want to. Happy with big, small, medium sized dogs, as my dog gets a long with all dogs. He's an ex rescue dog and very shy around people. However around dogs he comes alive! I'm currently working full time from home. I have an online business, meaning I can work when I want. My typical schedule would involve my partner waking up around 5AM to let the dogs out as she leaves for work around 6AM. The dogs then come into bed with me until I wake up which is around 7-7:45AM. My work starts with a meeting at 8:15AM which usually lasts 30mins-45mins. After the meeting I typically go on a dog walk for an hour, this can be around the fields , parks or beaches near me. Then I come home and work through the day, the back door will be open all day so the dogs can go out. I then go for an afternoon / evening walk around 5-6pm. This usually is an hour however can change depending which dogs i'm looking after. I can also do 1 walk per day if that is all your dog needs (some dogs cannot be over-excercised). Pet-care very easily works around my daily life, nothing would change in my schedule if I was to look after your dog. I have a fenced garden, and a very friendly 10 -month old rescue puppy called Dexter. He loves playing with other animals and dogs, male of female. There are 2 doors to get in, 3 if you count the one without a lock. Meaning if they were to get out the door to my flat they wouldn't be able to get out to the road. My dog does not get protective over treats or food so eating wouldn't be an issue. My dog also does not get jealous , he's never been aggressive in the time we've had him, he's scared of people but loves animals ! My dog also does not bark ! If your dog was to bark or try to dominate him he would allow it to happen, he's very placid.
“Jamie was lovely, I knew Sherlock was in safe hands from the start, he had plenty of walks during his day care and loved spending time with Jarvis the spaniel too. Jamie also has a big garden which I’m sure Sherlock enjoyed having access to! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
“This was Pippas first time away from home, but she settled nicely with Edward and the other dogs and will definitely be booking her in again for a longer stay this time. Thank you Edward.”
“Jazz was perfect for us. Esse our little dog had a lovely time. Jazz kept us upto date sending messages and photo even sent me a video. Would highly recommend and will be using Jazz again when we need a dog Sitter. Thank you Jazz xx”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment I left my dog with Deni, I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Deni kept me updated throughout, treated him like her own, and clearly paid so much attention to his routine and needs. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after, which says everything. It’s such a relief finding someone you can genuinely trust with your dog, and I would recommend Deni to absolutely anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive care. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Murphy!”
“Our dog, Huxley has just stayed with Becky while we were away for the weekend. He was really excited to see her again and looked instantly at home. He came back on Sunday, tired, relaxed and very happy. Becky sent us pictures and was really friendly and professional throughout. Really helpful too, when I needed to adjust all the travel plans due to train changes. We saw Hux went on some fab walks and looked really settled at her home. She made the whole experience really easy for us and we're looking forward to using her again. We highly recommend Becky!”
About: I offer a highly versatile, confident, and reliable approach to pet care. My experience spans the entire spectrum of the canine world, meaning your dog—no matter their size or personality—will be in expert hands. ❄️ Arctic Sled Dog & Pack Experience I have unique, hands-on experience managing a pack of working Huskies during a sledding expedition in the Arctic Circle of Sweden. This involved looking after my own team and assisting with the wider pack in extreme conditions—handling everything from feeding and harness management to understanding complex pack dynamics and high-energy behavior. 🏡 Gentle Care for Smaller Breeds While I'm entirely confident with large, high-energy breeds, I am equally experienced in providing the gentle, attentive care required for smaller dogs. I have extensive experience looking after two small dogs, meaning I completely understand the finer details of small-dog care—from keeping a watchful eye on them around bigger dogs to managing their specific exercise routines and making sure they feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly pampered. Whether your dog needs a high-energy handler who can match their stamina, or a calm, comforting companion for cuddles and structured routines, I adapt perfectly to what they need. As a part-time personal trainer, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to your pets. Because fitness is my job, I have the stamina and energy for long, active walks, making me the perfect fit for high-energy dogs who love to explore and burn off energy! I can easily structure my day around your dog's specific routine, feeding times, and exercise needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I treat their property and their routine with the utmost respect, ensuring doors are locked, feeding schedules are met precisely, and the environment remains calm. On walks, my background as a fitness professional means I am alert, physically strong enough to handle large or pulling dogs safely on a lead, and fully focused on keeping your dog secure and happy at all times.
“Lizzie and her lovely family are everything you could hope for - kind, experienced, confident and also ready to follow normal routine. Our dog was instantly at ease and it was a stress free experience as we knew Tessa was safe, happy and well looked after. Great communication and lovely to get photos and updates too. I would recommend Lizzie without hesitation and will go back whenever we need a dog sitter.”
“Like the other reviews said, Mark was amazing looking after both Harry and Ralph. We got regular photo updates of our boys having the best time and smiles on their faces. Harry and Ralph quickly built a bond with Mark and would definitely be using Mark again when we need a dog sitter! Thanks Mark x”
“Lisa and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and he has had a great holiday…we loved the daily photos and videos which were reassuring whille we were away…would definitely recommend…thank you Lisa x”
“Tamara has accepted last minute to take care of our little cocker Spaniel, Spring. She has been super kind and sent pictures and videos throughout the day. Thank you so much ! Spring had a great time 🤩”
“Stephen did a grand job looking after Ziggy for us while we were away for a week at a place where we weren't allowed to take him. Stephen is very conveniently located for the Channel Tunnel Shuttle crossing. He was kind and caring with our dog, followed our guidance and sent us daily photo updates. Thank you Stephen.”
“When I made the booking, I was not sure whether my request would be accepted, as Gaia had never spent time indoors with cats or children before. However, she had never shown any aggression towards them outside, and Daisy kindly agreed to look after her. Fortunately, Gaia got on very well with the younger and smaller members of the family. Daisy and her husband took lovely care of her during her stay and sent me some photos of Gaia relaxing with them on the sofa. She certainly looked as though she felt at home. I would happily recommend Daisy’s dog-sitting services :)”
“Wonderful! Jelena was so accommodating with drop-off/collection times, really helpful. Bodhi had a lovely time, Jelena kept me updated and looked after her so well. Throughly recommend.”
“Just fabulous - real tender care and concern. Tilly had a great stay in a quite stressful time for us as we were moving just before her stay. She came back calm happy and her usual self. The daily pics and updates and reassurance that her insulin was done was amazing. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up with working spaniels and currently have a 2yo cocker, so I’m comfortable with even the most crazy and demanding dogs. I care about meeting breed-specific needs and investing quality time in games that they naturally love. Happy to practice any training you might be working on and I’m understanding of the unique quirks they all seem to have. I will always try to make walks fun and engaging, but my house is a quiet and comfortable environment to relax in - just me and my own dog. There is a fully enclosed garden to run around in and I have a dog-safe car for trips out or emergencies. I work from home 4 days a week (sometimes all week) so have time and flexibility to engage with my dog. A typical day starts with a fun activity walk to engage the brain, followed by plenty of naps and a bit of training/play during the day, then a calm evening on the sofa. My house is dog proof and dog friendly. It’s clean and cosy, but big enough for a bit of space for alone time if needed and I have a fully secure garden with plenty of room to run around, sniff and play games. The road is quiet so very few strange noises to bark at. My dog sleeps overnight in a crate, but he is allowed to chill on the sofa if invited and sometimes on the bed if he’s been good. Treats are always nearby for good behaviour.
“Nicola was really great. Great communication prior and kept me updated with photos of Wolfe having the most chilled out time both on the evening and next morning of boarding. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
“Sylvia was a wonderful dog boarder. She took great care of Olive, taking her on lots of nice walks and sent me lot of updates which I appreciated when I was away. Olive seemed very settled. Thanks so much!”
