My dog Maisie was with Tamsin for 3 nights. When I picked Maisie up , Tamsin said that she had no problem with her for those few days whatsoever. Tamsin, seems to be a natural in looking after animals. After I took Maisie home, she settled back immediately. So that confirms to me that she was very well for in Tamsin’s home. I have no hesitation in recommending Tamsin to any dog owner whatsoever. I certainly will be using her in the future, that’s if she isn’t booked up of course. Kind regards, James.

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!

Thank you for agreeing to have Chloe, Sophie. I could not believe how quickly she settled in with you and your family. Warm, friendly, comfortable environment. If Chloe could talk she would say it was like a home from home. From the regular updates that we received she looked happy and content. I will use Sophie again and would have no hesitation in recommending her to friends. Thank you again!!

About: I have been fostering dogs, old, young, and sick for 5 years. We adopted our lurcher 2 years ago. He is a playful 2 year old, so I need to use treats/ and discipline quite a lot. I have had dogs growing up, and just love to be around all types of dog. I’m at home most of the time. Not currently back at work after maternity leave. I take my dog out at least once a day. So can fit something in most days! I have a fully fenced garden and gate. The house is open plan, however if you need your dog cornered off or my dog cornered off we have baby gates everywhere to help with that.

I would definitely recommend Helen she was so lovely and looked after my puppy Ted while I attended my daughter’s wedding. I didn’t have to worry about Ted after meeting Helen and her lovely dog Boycie. It was lovely that Helen and her Husband had looked after Ted so well. Even letting Ted sleep on their bed. I will definitely be booking Helen again. Thank you Helen

Sylvia did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious shihpoo, Stewie, while we were away for the weekend. Stewie needs a fair amount of reassurance and attention but seemed to settle in really quickly with Sylvia. She also sent us lots of photo updates to let us know how he was getting on. Couldn’t recommend more! 😊

About: Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives. We currently have a 19-year old senior (Edie), and 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi. I have a qualification in Pet First Aid and Dog CPR. I am fully insured by Protectivity. We have extensive experience with senior dog care and sighthounds. We are fortunate to live in close proximity to the Kent Downs, and the beautiful Kent countryside, near lots of woods and walking distance to the coast. We love to get out in the fresh air as much as possible and would welcome your furry friends to come with us. There are also plenty of dog parks near our house, and we have booked private fields in the past which can be arranged. We only take 1 or 2 dogs from the same household, to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Edie likes the quiet life, and mostly sleeps in Tom’s office with him during the day. Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laid back, and is happy to watch playtime from the sofa! Both are good at sharing toys and snuggling. As with most sighthounds, after a short burst of energy, they love to snuggle up for the next few hours! Caring for animals is my priority, dog sitting and walking is my full-time focus. I live with my husband, who mostly works from home and has a flexible schedule. Depending on your preference, we can either go out together on group walks with our dogs (2 adults, plus one or two of our dogs, with your dog), or I can take your dog(s) on a solo walk. Whatever works best for your dog. Your dog will be with humans the majority of the time they are here, receiving love, care and attention. A typical day for us, We usually wake around 6am, have cuddles with our dogs and feed them their breakfast. Then we head out for our early morning walk (usually 1 - 2 hours). After that our boys tend to sleep til lunch time. We usually have then playtime, followed by more napping. We then take a second walk before or after their tea. Then toy time and tucked in bed around 9pm. As we have 2 lurchers our garden is very secure with high fences. There are comfy sofas in both rooms on the ground floor, plus dog beds, plenty of room to relax. If you like your dogs to be crated at night, there is room to add these. Our dogs sleep in one room, your dogs would have their own doggy bedroom (ground floor). We also have a room on the first floor for dogs that need a snug quiet space of their own.

Jazz is wonderfully down-to-earth, and her experience, attentiveness, and genuine care are clear from the moment you meet her. We were initially anxious, as Murphy had only ever stayed with family before, but she looked after him so well that he didn’t seem to miss us at all. As this was a first meet, we were offered a meet-and-greet prior to booking which was a great way to have our dog get a feel for the environment beforehand. She followed his routine closely and kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, which made a huge difference in putting our minds at ease. It’s such a relief to know we can leave Murphy in a safe, loving home environment. We highly recommend Jazz to anyone looking for dog boarding. Thanks again Jazz, we look forward to next time!

About: Having grown up with Great Danes, my husband has always been a keen dog lover and we got our first family pet, Scout, a Springador, 5 years ago. He is a lovely natured dog that loves company so we often found ourselves looking after friends and family's dogs as well. I am now fully insured to offer a home away from home doggy retreat so that you can enjoy your precious time away knowing that your fur baby is well looked after and enjoying their own little holiday in a loving and homely environment. If you would like, I am to send photos and updates to you during your time away so that you have full peace of mind and can see what your pooch is getting up to! I work part time from home so I'm always on hand to give attentive care to your little fur baby and they will never be left on their own. Limitless fresh air and cosy evening snuggles will be available! I aim to give your dog a home from home experience... if they sleep on your bed, they sleep on mine! Everything will be bespoke to their preferences, which I will discuss with you in detail before their arrival. I want your doggy to feel like they've had a holiday and can't wait to come back again!

Delphine was great, literally save us from a 8 hours trip to take my baby to my local cattery, as he couldn't go with us in the shuttle. She kept him until someone to pick him up and taking him to were he is staying. Lovely person and her kitty was very friendly with my old baby. Totally recommend.

Isabelle is a devoted dog boarder. Trigger, my sensitive Vizsla, was made to feel so very welcome. Trigger stayed with Isabelle for 2 nights and he was allowed to sleep in/on her bed with him. Trigger had a wonderful relaxed stay. I was kept updated with plenty of photos and messages. I have no worries about leaving Trig with Isabelle. Will definitely be going back!

About: I live in a basement flat that leads out on to the fenced garden. I work from home and often take breaks to let my dog out / go for walks in the park or beach. I have a 2.5yr old spaniel (neutered) who gets on with all dogs and is keen to play but will also happily chill if the other dog isn’t bothered. Always grown up with dogs and had a few myself Work full time at home. I do go into London some days but I have a partner who’s home on those days with my dog. I have autonomy in my job to take breaks often and go for toilet breaks and a long walk during lunch. Front door opens onto decent sized fenced back garden. Local to Radnor park and the sea front. My dog is super friendly & neutered so not territorial. He’s very happy to have friends to play with

About: Since a child I have always had dogs. Training puppy’s is always something I loved to do. I also have a puppy who’s 7 months currently, His name is Finley. He’s full of energy and loves to go for long walks but equally just relax on the sofa watching tv. I live with my girlfriend who always WFH. I also have 3 days off a week and my shifts vary. Very adaptable on all days. I treat any pet how I treat my own. I love to walk so would always be out and about. Lots of cuddles and attention. Happy to have the dog on the sofa under a blanket. Spacious flat for the dog to be on their bed/blanket etc in our bedroom. Lots of room to play games and equally relax.

About: Hey, my name is Jay. I have a Black Lab called Mabel and a German Shep called Martha. Both of whom are well behaved and trained myself / in training. I offer a variety of services and am blessed to have lot's of facilities to my, and your pet's, advantage. Including a Land Rover kitted out for transport should it be required, as well as a stunning location based at the bottom of the White Cliffs of Dover allowing for lot's of walks along the cliffs, into the fields or along the beach and even a swim! Alternatively we can go directly into town. My property is also big enough to have a very private garden with 6+ foot walls surrounding the place ensuring it is very secure. I also house a parrot, variety of fish and in the past have had multiple hamsters and too many guinea pigs and rabbits to count! I love animals and would be honoured to take care of yours! P.S - as a bonus I provide quality photography of your pet if requested, free of charge! Just a little extra for booking with me. You can see some of my imagery on my profile! :) I’ve recently taken a significant amount of time away from my regular work to care for my own dogs and dedicate my time fully to animal care. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pet my full attention, day or night, alongside my own animals. I provide a safe, structured, and highly attentive environment for every pet in my care, whether in my own home or the owner’s home. At my home, pets are looked after in a secure property with a large private garden enclosed by 6+ foot walls, ensuring safety at all times. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I am able to give them constant supervision and interaction throughout the day. They have access to regular walks tailored to their needs, including local field walks, coastal walks along the White Cliffs of Dover, and beach outings where appropriate. I also ensure they have a calm space to rest and settle comfortably inside the home. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in familiar surroundings. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, medication if required, and plenty of companionship. Across all services, I prioritise safety, consistency, and individual attention. I have experience with a range of animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they are well cared for, stimulated, and happy throughout my time with them.

I used Olivia and late notice, I wasn’t planning on leaving my dog with anyone but I did not have the right documentation to travel abroad with her. I was nervous leaving her with a stranger but the moment I saw her eyes light up to see my dog her clear warmth for dogs radiating and I instantly at ease. She kept me update every day with my dog which filled me with even more ease, so much so I had no fear or worries at all and I could enjoy my snowboarding trip in peace. If she lived closer to me I used her every single time.

About: I've had pets ever since I was as young as age 7. I started out with goldfish in a small aquarium. Owning pets when I was young helped me to grow into a more empathetic and compassionate person. I also used to have pet guinea pigs, and now I have a cat. Having these mammals has allowed me excellent opportunities to form bonds with animals early on, and practice for bonding with future pets. I also attended Hadlow College Canterbury for 3 years and did animal care courses. I worked with goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs in their outside yard. In their indoor area, I also worked with small rodents, reptiles and even amphibians. For all of those animals, I was given training on how to clean them out, how to handle them, give them the right amount of food, and how to perform a health check. Qualifications acheived: •Foundation in animal care •Level 1 diploma in animal care •Level 2 diploma in animal care I am highly flexible and can fit pet care around my normal daily routine. This is throughout both weekdays and weekends. I am able to to late evenings or early mornings should you request. I have cat toys and scratching posts that are provided for my cat to be stimulated. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning with nuggets and once in the evening with a sashe.

I’ve given various medications, baths, pamper sessions and ear drops to many cats! Nothing phases me anymore! Some of my favourite jobs are the cat drop ins where I sit and keep them company, a sneaky treat and a brush and leaving them happy and fed before bedtime.

I enjoy exercise therefore this will be a good benefit for both me and you, getting both me and your pet the best walk. I am also a bit of a giant so any size dog is good for me to walk as none of them can overcome me and run off. I currently work shift work in care and I need a few extra hours a week/day to be able to top up my payslip a little I will be looking after in your own home, therefore they are comfortable in their own space and I will ensure that they are comfortable with me being in their space

About: I have been fostering dogs, old, young, and sick for 5 years. We adopted our lurcher 2 years ago. He is a playful 2 year old, so I need to use treats/ and discipline quite a lot. I have had dogs growing up, and just love to be around all types of dog. I’m at home most of the time. Not currently back at work after maternity leave. I take my dog out at least once a day. So can fit something in most days! I have a fully fenced garden and gate. The house is open plan, however if you need your dog cornered off or my dog cornered off we have baby gates everywhere to help with that.

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: Hello, my name is Denitsa (Deni). I’m one of those slightly crazy people who will always smile at your dog when we walk by. I absolutely love animals — I always have. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats and spent my whole childhood and youth caring for them. My most recent dog was a wonderful 7-year-old Cocker Spaniel, whom I had traveled all the way to Bulgaria and back to bring home. I lost her very suddenly, and I am still grieving. Although I’m not emotionally ready to have another dog of my own, my love for these amazing creatures — beings with unique consciousness and emotions — remains as strong as ever. That’s why I decided to create this profile: to share my time, care, and affection with a furry companion from time to time. I enjoy long walks and would be delighted to have a fluffy friend join me. I take care of only one dog at a time (or two–three if they’re from the same family), so your dog will receive my full attention and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet. I currently work from home, so your beloved dog and I will keep each other company throughout the entire day — little friends sharing time, attention, and comfort. I am available for boarding anytime. I offer a calm, safe, and attentive environment where your dog can feel secure and happy. Because I work from home and spend most of my time here, your pet will never be left alone and will enjoy consistent companionship throughout the day. We go for long morning and evening walks on the East Cliff greens or Sunny Sands beach, with a shorter lunchtime walk on the nearby green. The rest of the day is spent peacefully together. In my workspace, I have a large, cosy bed where your furry friend can nap comfortably while I work nearby. I accept only one dog at a time (or two–three from the same family), ensuring your pet receives my full attention, affection, and supervision. Whether for boarding or daytime care, your dog will be in a warm, structured, and caring environment tailored to their comfort and well-being.

About: Hey, my name is Jay. I have a Black Lab called Mabel and a German Shep called Martha. Both of whom are well behaved and trained myself / in training. I offer a variety of services and am blessed to have lot's of facilities to my, and your pet's, advantage. Including a Land Rover kitted out for transport should it be required, as well as a stunning location based at the bottom of the White Cliffs of Dover allowing for lot's of walks along the cliffs, into the fields or along the beach and even a swim! Alternatively we can go directly into town. My property is also big enough to have a very private garden with 6+ foot walls surrounding the place ensuring it is very secure. I also house a parrot, variety of fish and in the past have had multiple hamsters and too many guinea pigs and rabbits to count! I love animals and would be honoured to take care of yours! P.S - as a bonus I provide quality photography of your pet if requested, free of charge! Just a little extra for booking with me. You can see some of my imagery on my profile! :) I’ve recently taken a significant amount of time away from my regular work to care for my own dogs and dedicate my time fully to animal care. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pet my full attention, day or night, alongside my own animals. I provide a safe, structured, and highly attentive environment for every pet in my care, whether in my own home or the owner’s home. At my home, pets are looked after in a secure property with a large private garden enclosed by 6+ foot walls, ensuring safety at all times. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I am able to give them constant supervision and interaction throughout the day. They have access to regular walks tailored to their needs, including local field walks, coastal walks along the White Cliffs of Dover, and beach outings where appropriate. I also ensure they have a calm space to rest and settle comfortably inside the home. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in familiar surroundings. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, medication if required, and plenty of companionship. Across all services, I prioritise safety, consistency, and individual attention. I have experience with a range of animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they are well cared for, stimulated, and happy throughout my time with them.

About: I live in a basement flat that leads out on to the fenced garden. I work from home and often take breaks to let my dog out / go for walks in the park or beach. I have a 2.5yr old spaniel (neutered) who gets on with all dogs and is keen to play but will also happily chill if the other dog isn’t bothered. Always grown up with dogs and had a few myself Work full time at home. I do go into London some days but I have a partner who’s home on those days with my dog. I have autonomy in my job to take breaks often and go for toilet breaks and a long walk during lunch. Front door opens onto decent sized fenced back garden. Local to Radnor park and the sea front. My dog is super friendly & neutered so not territorial. He’s very happy to have friends to play with

About: Dogs are a big part of my life. My partner and I always have at least one dog in our home! I love to play with them, train them and care for them. I have been through all stages of dog lives from their very first steps, and opening their eyes to saying goodbye to the precious four legged pal. Dogs are my great love. Seeing them enjoy their time on a good run, jumping up from joy with the muddy paws after an early morning swim in freezing cold water is great fun. Muddy puddles after a long walk on the Warren or around the Martello tower and a smelly car.... All stored in "best day ever" folder in my mind. I love it and want to give some of that to you and you four legged friend. I will take your furry friend on amazing fun adventures in and around Folkestone Hythe and Ashford. Happy Walks Happy Dogs! I am available during the day but also at all these less common hours when you need that help with your pet. I do early morning/late evening walks if that’s what you and your pooch need. Young puppies are much welcomed by Butter our Labradoodle. They will be safe and cared for at all times with Butter and mummy Boo. I am a walker and carer by nature. I try to accommodate the needs of every dog I meet and care for. As a start I would come and meet you, to get to know you and your furry baby. If you choose me to be part of your pooch's life I will go for a one-to one walk getting to know your pouch better. Over time I will learn what suit them best, what locations and company they like and potentially introduce them to other dogs I walk. I am DBS checked, Insured and as said reliable loving and caring.

Can’t recommend Victoria & family enough.

About: Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives. We currently have a 19-year old senior (Edie), and 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi. I have a qualification in Pet First Aid and Dog CPR. I am fully insured by Protectivity. We have extensive experience with senior dog care and sighthounds. We are fortunate to live in close proximity to the Kent Downs, and the beautiful Kent countryside, near lots of woods and walking distance to the coast. We love to get out in the fresh air as much as possible and would welcome your furry friends to come with us. There are also plenty of dog parks near our house, and we have booked private fields in the past which can be arranged. We only take 1 or 2 dogs from the same household, to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Edie likes the quiet life, and mostly sleeps in Tom’s office with him during the day. Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laid back, and is happy to watch playtime from the sofa! Both are good at sharing toys and snuggling. As with most sighthounds, after a short burst of energy, they love to snuggle up for the next few hours! Caring for animals is my priority, dog sitting and walking is my full-time focus. I live with my husband, who mostly works from home and has a flexible schedule. Depending on your preference, we can either go out together on group walks with our dogs (2 adults, plus one or two of our dogs, with your dog), or I can take your dog(s) on a solo walk. Whatever works best for your dog. Your dog will be with humans the majority of the time they are here, receiving love, care and attention. A typical day for us, We usually wake around 6am, have cuddles with our dogs and feed them their breakfast. Then we head out for our early morning walk (usually 1 - 2 hours). After that our boys tend to sleep til lunch time. We usually have then playtime, followed by more napping. We then take a second walk before or after their tea. Then toy time and tucked in bed around 9pm. As we have 2 lurchers our garden is very secure with high fences. There are comfy sofas in both rooms on the ground floor, plus dog beds, plenty of room to relax. If you like your dogs to be crated at night, there is room to add these. Our dogs sleep in one room, your dogs would have their own doggy bedroom (ground floor). We also have a room on the first floor for dogs that need a snug quiet space of their own.

About: I have been brought up around dogs and more recently my partner and I volunteered at a dog shelter with over 100 dogs, we spent a month learning dog behaviour, cleaning, feeding and walking gentle giants. We are both calm natured and believe love and kindness bring out the best in dogs. We have been around rescue dogs that have nervous tendencies and they learnt to trust us over the time we were volunteering. 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. My weekly routine is very flexible due to the nature of my work and working from home. I am able to choose my hours of work I welcome pets into my home as if they were my own, I have a small garden they can run around in with high walls so owners will be confident that their pets will be safe in my home and garden I have a ground floor flat with it’s own entrance and private garden.

About: I have had dogs for most of my life from big to small and know that they are an important part of your family. Having recently lost our 2 border terriers I find myself missing the pleasures of having a dog around the house. I would love to care for your dog during the day when you are unable to do so. I am now retired and have the time to give your dog the attention it needs, from long walks, cuddles and chill time. You can be rest assured that you beloved pet will be looked after. Being retired means that I can look after your dog five days a week and I am available from early in the morning until late in the evening. I live a large town house with a back garden that the dogs can use, they will have the lounge, utility room and garden at their disposal. I also live 2 minutes away from Connaught Park where I will take them for walks as well as other nearby walks.

About: Hello! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover with experience looking after my own cats, as well as caring for those belonging to family and friends. Although I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m calm, responsible, active, and happy to follow your dog’s routine and any specific instructions to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I absolutely love animals and know how much they mean to the people they share their lives with, so I’ll treat your dog or cat with the same care, kindness, and respect that I give my own pets. I also have a DBS check for extra peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re apart. As a self-employed creative freelancer, I have quite a flexible schedule, which means I can often fit around walking and drop in pet-care (maybe other pet sitting in the future) I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only take on bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion—what makes your furry person happy makes me happy! 😊 My week will change each week as I’m self employed, so I work pet care around my work. But I will never take a booking when I know I’m down to work near that time. But i can do early mornings from about 7AM until about 6PM (sometimes a little later the summer). All days - working round my various hours in-between. Let me know if your cat or dog has any issues, if they are shy or anxious around certain things. Or if they like to do certain things, favourite places, toys, etc. For dogs how long the walk should be, for cats, for a drop in - if they need feeding or have an ‘in time’ (it’s a thing!) …or anything else related 😊

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.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets, primarily dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I am passionate about providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care! My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic medications, cleaning living areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I have cared for pets of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. Through these experiences, I have learned how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in stressful situations, and adjust care routines based on each pet’s specific needs. In addition to daily care, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent schedules, monitoring health changes, and communicating clearly with pet owners. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and the well-being of every animal in my care. Whether it’s ensuring proper portion sizes at feeding time or providing engaging exercise during walks, I approach every responsibility with patience and dedication. Pet care has strengthened my sense of responsibility, time management, and attention to detail. Most importantly, it has reinforced my belief that animals deserve kindness, respect, and dependable care at all times❤️ I have a very flexible schedule so please feel free to book on any day of the week and I will do my best to fit your fury friend in for walks, day care or over night stays! When caring for a pet in an owner’s home, my first priority is maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own space, so I make every effort to follow the owner’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. Consistency helps reduce stress and keeps the pet feeling secure. I always ensure doors, gates, and windows are securely closed to prevent escapes, and I double-check locks before leaving the home. I keep harmful items such as cleaning products, small objects, or unsafe foods out of reach. During walks or outdoor time, I stay alert to surroundings and use secure leashes or harnesses as instructed. Cleanliness is also very important. I regularly clean food and water bowls, refresh water daily, and keep litter boxes or living areas tidy. This helps prevent illness and keeps the home environment healthy for the pet. I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, appetite, and energy levels to quickly notice any changes that could signal stress or health concerns. If I observe anything unusual, I communicate promptly with the owner. Above all, I treat the owner’s home with respect and their pet with patience, kindness, and responsibility. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving the owner peace of mind knowing their home and companion are in safe, trustworthy hands.

About: I have a wide variety of experience with multiple animals such as dogs, cats, horses and smaller - such as rodents! I’m happy to handle large dogs also. I have a diploma in land based animal studies and have completed a level 2 pet first aid course. I’m fully insured and dbs checked. Currently, I only have a few pets that require my care! My dog gets walked once a day and is crate trained so I have a few hours available during the day for walks and pop ins. Overnight stays, she would be cared for by my lovely family! So she won’t be neglected while I care for your furries. I will always go over your routine (if any) with your pet to ensure their day to day life isn’t changed too much. I am more than happy to administer any medication, crate your dog or make sure they’re only in specific rooms you allow.

I also have good knowledge of birds, reptiles, and small furry pets. I live with my husband in Dover, we currently have our own dogs, fish and a parrot. They are part of the family. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around the local countryside and coastal areas. I treat every pet like family. I’m confident with puppy care, basic training, and keeping to routines, as well as understanding the calmer support that senior pets often need. For cats, I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, and respecting their individual personalities — whether that’s playful companionship or quiet reassurance. My goal is always the same: happy, safe pets and peace of mind for their owners I am available every day for drop-ins, playdates, walking for all your furry friends. Mornings, evenings and weekends with at least three days notice 🐾 I am professional and caring and have worked in social care for over 20 years, good communicator and very flexible. Available for Dog walks, drop ins, feeding and socialisation. Happy to arrange a meet up and short visit/walk for peace of mind and a pawsome experience for your fluffy friends, please get in touch. Respectful of owners wishes and property, ensuring all pets are well cared for and always safe

Maisie is a reliable and friendly dog walker. She thoroughly tired out our hound mix and was conscientious of avoiding livestock as instructed. Would highly recommend!

About: Hi there, I grew up surrounded by horses cats dogs fish and hamsters and love them all. I’m a regular cat sitter currently and resting between acting jobs so ready to go. I work part time as a supporting artist in films so pet care work fits in perfectly with that. I’m also used to getting up very early so any need for dawn feeds/ walkies etc won’t be a problem. I always follow care instructions to the letter, especially locking up a front door etc.. I double and triple check to make sure. That might be a bit OCD but better safe than sorry.

About: Both me and my partner (Paige) have cared for animals most of our lives. Paige had a senior dog named Watson, however, she currently has a cat called Toyah who is 9 years of age. I have previously had a high energy labrador named Ralph, who was quite a handful. In addition to this, my family has a cat and a dog, in which I occasionally look after. Overall, we are very energetic and enthusiastic, ready to tire out your pets. I work from home part-time on Monday’s, Tuesday's and Wednesday’s. So I will have plenty of time to play and care with your furry friend(s). We are a responsible couple who are aware of the importance of trust and safety. We will happily cater to your pets schedule/needs. We are also very caring for dogs/cats and will be affectionate and playful.

About: I have been brought up around dogs and more recently my partner and I volunteered at a dog shelter with over 100 dogs, we spent a month learning dog behaviour, cleaning, feeding and walking gentle giants. We are both calm natured and believe love and kindness bring out the best in dogs. We have been around rescue dogs that have nervous tendencies and they learnt to trust us over the time we were volunteering. 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. My weekly routine is very flexible due to the nature of my work and working from home. I am able to choose my hours of work I welcome pets into my home as if they were my own, I have a small garden they can run around in with high walls so owners will be confident that their pets will be safe in my home and garden I have a ground floor flat with it’s own entrance and private garden.

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!

About: I have been fostering dogs, old, young, and sick for 5 years. We adopted our lurcher 2 years ago. He is a playful 2 year old, so I need to use treats/ and discipline quite a lot. I have had dogs growing up, and just love to be around all types of dog. I’m at home most of the time. Not currently back at work after maternity leave. I take my dog out at least once a day. So can fit something in most days! I have a fully fenced garden and gate. The house is open plan, however if you need your dog cornered off or my dog cornered off we have baby gates everywhere to help with that.

Sylvia did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious shihpoo, Stewie, while we were away for the weekend. Stewie needs a fair amount of reassurance and attention but seemed to settle in really quickly with Sylvia. She also sent us lots of photo updates to let us know how he was getting on. Couldn’t recommend more! 😊

About: Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives. We currently have a 19-year old senior (Edie), and 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi. I have a qualification in Pet First Aid and Dog CPR. I am fully insured by Protectivity. We have extensive experience with senior dog care and sighthounds. We are fortunate to live in close proximity to the Kent Downs, and the beautiful Kent countryside, near lots of woods and walking distance to the coast. We love to get out in the fresh air as much as possible and would welcome your furry friends to come with us. There are also plenty of dog parks near our house, and we have booked private fields in the past which can be arranged. We only take 1 or 2 dogs from the same household, to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Edie likes the quiet life, and mostly sleeps in Tom’s office with him during the day. Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laid back, and is happy to watch playtime from the sofa! Both are good at sharing toys and snuggling. As with most sighthounds, after a short burst of energy, they love to snuggle up for the next few hours! Caring for animals is my priority, dog sitting and walking is my full-time focus. I live with my husband, who mostly works from home and has a flexible schedule. Depending on your preference, we can either go out together on group walks with our dogs (2 adults, plus one or two of our dogs, with your dog), or I can take your dog(s) on a solo walk. Whatever works best for your dog. Your dog will be with humans the majority of the time they are here, receiving love, care and attention. A typical day for us, We usually wake around 6am, have cuddles with our dogs and feed them their breakfast. Then we head out for our early morning walk (usually 1 - 2 hours). After that our boys tend to sleep til lunch time. We usually have then playtime, followed by more napping. We then take a second walk before or after their tea. Then toy time and tucked in bed around 9pm. As we have 2 lurchers our garden is very secure with high fences. There are comfy sofas in both rooms on the ground floor, plus dog beds, plenty of room to relax. If you like your dogs to be crated at night, there is room to add these. Our dogs sleep in one room, your dogs would have their own doggy bedroom (ground floor). We also have a room on the first floor for dogs that need a snug quiet space of their own.

Jazz is wonderfully down-to-earth, and her experience, attentiveness, and genuine care are clear from the moment you meet her. We were initially anxious, as Murphy had only ever stayed with family before, but she looked after him so well that he didn’t seem to miss us at all. As this was a first meet, we were offered a meet-and-greet prior to booking which was a great way to have our dog get a feel for the environment beforehand. She followed his routine closely and kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, which made a huge difference in putting our minds at ease. It’s such a relief to know we can leave Murphy in a safe, loving home environment. We highly recommend Jazz to anyone looking for dog boarding. Thanks again Jazz, we look forward to next time!

About: Having grown up with Great Danes, my husband has always been a keen dog lover and we got our first family pet, Scout, a Springador, 5 years ago. He is a lovely natured dog that loves company so we often found ourselves looking after friends and family's dogs as well. I am now fully insured to offer a home away from home doggy retreat so that you can enjoy your precious time away knowing that your fur baby is well looked after and enjoying their own little holiday in a loving and homely environment. If you would like, I am to send photos and updates to you during your time away so that you have full peace of mind and can see what your pooch is getting up to! I work part time from home so I'm always on hand to give attentive care to your little fur baby and they will never be left on their own. Limitless fresh air and cosy evening snuggles will be available! I aim to give your dog a home from home experience... if they sleep on your bed, they sleep on mine! Everything will be bespoke to their preferences, which I will discuss with you in detail before their arrival. I want your doggy to feel like they've had a holiday and can't wait to come back again!

I used Olivia and late notice, I wasn’t planning on leaving my dog with anyone but I did not have the right documentation to travel abroad with her. I was nervous leaving her with a stranger but the moment I saw her eyes light up to see my dog her clear warmth for dogs radiating and I instantly at ease. She kept me update every day with my dog which filled me with even more ease, so much so I had no fear or worries at all and I could enjoy my snowboarding trip in peace. If she lived closer to me I used her every single time.
