Selma took time to get our rescued young GSD used to her by arranging two meet and greets. He was immediately relaxed in her home environment and with the calm energy Selma projects. Such a relief to find such a lovely lady to trust with our dog. Thank you!

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.

Denitsa was a fantastic sitter. From first meet to daily updates. I appreciated that my dog was safe and in good hands and in a comfortable setting. Denitsa sent daily updates and I could clearly see how happy my dog was. I had great confidence and the reassurance whilst away my dog was in great hands.

As soon as I met Isabelle I knew she would be perfect to look after Millie. She is such a lovely, kind , caring person and clearly loves looking after dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and videos and I could see Mille was having THE best time, lots of walks in the park, the run of the house and I could see she made herself at home straight away ! I will definitely board Millie with Isabelle again and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her! Thank you Isabelle 😊

About: Derek and I have only ever had rescue dogs, not puppies. We appreciate they have had a rough start and need time and patience and lots of encouragement to feel safe and comfortable. We have do looked after multiple friends dogs over the years and have decided that we could help others to have a decent break/work/holiday knowing that their loved furry friend is in capable, safe care. We have rescued older dogs as they get overlooked. We have had to house train kenneled dogs - it’s been a challenge!! But worth it 🤩 I am currently available daily and will have plenty of time with your doggo. My husband works from home so there is always someone around. Walks in our local woods and playtime on the garden will be frequent. Chill time is also important. Dogs are allowed on the sofa so will feel welcome if that’s their thing😊 We have a secure fenced garden. We have a 13 year old Parsons terrier- Steve - he is chilled and loves dog company. We have a lovely wooded walk close by which is shady on those hot days. I will be happy to send pics/ updates of your pooch as often as you feel will be helpful to ensure you are also happy your dog is happy 😊 we can arrange that when we meet. Our home becomes your pets home for the duration of the stay. We will discuss your preferences so that we can maintain the routines/ boundaries that you have in place for your dog. Husband Derek works from home so there is always someone around

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. Willow was totally relaxed within minutes of us leaving her and was very well looked after throughout her stay. 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: Hi! I’m your dog’s dedicated "Aunty," offering a reliable, calm, and trustworthy home boarding experience. Having recently lost my own beloved dog, I know how vital peace of mind is. I promise to love and care for your furry family member just like my own, ensuring they are settled so you can truly relax. As a full-time remote worker, I am always here to supervise. Your dog will enjoy free reign of my secure home and garden, alongside exciting walks through our beautiful countryside, north downs and Folkestone Warren to name but a few. To keep minds active, I provide fun sniffing games and mental puzzles, balanced with endless snuggles and quiet downtime. The Details: Requirements: Dogs must be house-trained (puppies welcome and accommodated!). Guests must tolerate cats, as my independent resident kitty keeps to herself. Peace of Mind: I offer initial meet-and-greets, plus discounted short "practice stays" before longer visits to ensure a perfect fit. Spaces are limited for a truly tailored, boutique experience. Get in touch today to chat about your dog's next stay! 🐶❤️ I work full time from home. Your dog will have free run of my house and garden. You tell me your routine and I will do my best to follow it. Most likely a good morning walk before breakfast, another around lunchtime and an evening stroll around the block. Obviously in extreme heat or torrential rain I will be a little flexible. I don't mind a muddy dog as long as your dog doesn't mind a bath! I have a fenced garden and he /she will be able to spend as much time outside as they chose or ask to go. They are welcome on furniture and I am happy for them to sleep upstairs with me. I just want them to feel safe and loved whilst they are here.

Christine and her husband are both very warm and friendly people who welcomed Barney with open arms. He was very happy to run straight up to them for a fuss, and clearly felt right at home. I received updates from Christine while we were away, and when we arrived to collect Barney he was very much part of their home, and you could tell he was very happy there. Christine was very careful to follow our care notes, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. In fact, I've made a second booking!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and various pets throughout my life! I have experience with both large and small breeds of dogs as well as cats. Growing up we always had dogs in the house, and never less than 4! Because I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, I would say I have quite the love for them along with the experience for caring for them. Because I’ve been given the opportunity to care for dogs from young to old, energetic to reserved my entire life, I know how to accommodate to the dogs needs and be knowledgable enough to know what the dog needs most. Wether it’s a shorter walk due to arthritis or more physical time outside to burn off some energy, you can be certain your dogs needs will be met and they will be loved on! I work fully remote and from home. I go on walks daily in the morning, afternoon and evening, so I am happy to bring along your dog or visit your home to take them on walks :-) All plants/ Potential hazards are always removed before welcoming a dog or cat into my home. Dogs will be walked with a lead unless otherwise specified by owner!

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the go to pet sitter when family and friends are away. Dogs, cats and other pets are always welcome in my home and I love animals. I am regular walker and am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up mess. Calm and hyper dogs are welcome always. Their needs are the most important when it comes to caring for an animal so if its too hot for a walk then we stay in and play indoors or in the shaded garden if its raining and they want to go out ive got a raincoat I am not afraid of rain and if your pet loves to get covered in mud im not afraid to get dirty and I am more than happy to give them a bath. I am available thursday to sunday unless I have special things planned but I will give everyone more than enough notice to find extra care Im currently working part time and the rest of the week involves park days and beach days with my little boy so any pet care can be provided. I am also a jogger if your pet likes regular running and I have an accessible large crate for any sized dog if needed I have a fenced garden and 3 very friendly cats who have been trained to behave around dogs as they are outdoor pets. I have dog food wet and dry always available and pets are allowed on the furniture as long as they are house trained

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!

Cherri was excellent with my Dog Arnie - She responded really quickly to any messages I sent, arranged a meet and greet which put my mind at rest as she is located in a lovely village with amazing walks 5 mins from her house. I am sure if Arnie could talk (although he is very vocal as Cherri found out !) he would say that he had an amazing time being pampered, fed and walked for the days he was there - was definitely a home from home experience - I would have no hesitation in booking Arnie in with Cherri again in the future.

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.

Paris was absolutely fantastic looking after our Devon Rex, Marcel, while we were away. She was reliable, caring and clearly has a real love for animals. We felt completely reassured knowing Marcel was in such good hands, and it was lovely to come home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. Marcel can be quite the character, as Devon Rexes often are, and Paris took such great care of him and gave him all the attention and affection he loves. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after him again and would wholeheartedly recommend Paris to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring cat sitter. Thank you, Paris! 🐾❤️

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.

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 don't mind a muddy dog as long as your dog doesn't mind a bath! I have a fenced garden and he /she will be able to spend as much time outside as they chose or ask to go. They are welcome on furniture and I am happy for them to sleep upstairs with me. I just want them to feel safe and loved whilst they are here.

About: Derek and I have only ever had rescue dogs, not puppies. We appreciate they have had a rough start and need time and patience and lots of encouragement to feel safe and comfortable. We have do looked after multiple friends dogs over the years and have decided that we could help others to have a decent break/work/holiday knowing that their loved furry friend is in capable, safe care. We have rescued older dogs as they get overlooked. We have had to house train kenneled dogs - it’s been a challenge!! But worth it 🤩 I am currently available daily and will have plenty of time with your doggo. My husband works from home so there is always someone around. Walks in our local woods and playtime on the garden will be frequent. Chill time is also important. Dogs are allowed on the sofa so will feel welcome if that’s their thing😊 We have a secure fenced garden. We have a 13 year old Parsons terrier- Steve - he is chilled and loves dog company. We have a lovely wooded walk close by which is shady on those hot days. I will be happy to send pics/ updates of your pooch as often as you feel will be helpful to ensure you are also happy your dog is happy 😊 we can arrange that when we meet. Our home becomes your pets home for the duration of the stay. We will discuss your preferences so that we can maintain the routines/ boundaries that you have in place for your dog. Husband Derek works from home so there is always someone around

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 was very lucky to find Christine and that she was available to look after Lollie. It was short notice and really helped me out whilst I attended a funeral & family gathering. Lollie can be sensitive but I knew immediately Christine and her husband would be kind and gentle with her. Lollie was as happy as I’ve seen her going to someone she doesn’t know. Photos of Lollie were sent to reassure she was absolutely fine. Thank you so much.

About: Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives and absolutely adore them. We live with our 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi in Folkestone. I have a qualification in Pet First Aid and Dog CPR, and experienced in administering injectable medications. I am fully insured by Protectivity. We have extensive experience with senior dog care, sighthounds, and are used to looking after dogs of all sizes and personalities. 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 for dogs in our care, so they can really have a good run and play off lead. We only take up to two dogs at a time, as long to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laidback 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 had dogs and cats in my home since I was a small child alongside guinea -pigs, rabbits and chinchillas. Since living on my own (10yeard) I have had recue cats in my home and often looked after friends and family's animals by house sitting or walking them. For the last 2 years I have fostered dogs from the Charity Dogs Trust and have had basic training in grooming, giving medication and basic behavioural recognisition. I am most experienced with reactive dogs and those with anxiety. I currently work from home and only recently moved to Folkestone so I am looking to have some companionship and floofy cuddles during the day. Plus living opposite the beach there are loads of beach side walks and what better friend then a doggo to take with me. I have a flat with a roof terrace as well as access to the beach and no other pets currently so your fur baby will have a safe, quiet environment. I do have a crate if needed but usually let the floors on the sofa or in a Doggy bed. I drive so can pop into your home to pick up a pet if needed for walks or check ins. My neighbours don't have dogs either so reactive dogs should be happy too.

About: Hello! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover with life time experience looking after my own cats, as well as caring for cats, dogs and hamsters belonging to family and friends. Although I haven’t owned a dog myself (yet …it’s on the horizon!), I’ve always loved 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 have given my own pets. I also have an enhanced 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 really do love all animals, so I can also drop in on cats too! And I have also had a hamster when younger and looked after others hamsters too. I am open to looking after rabbits and birds and alike but do not have direct experience with them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion - warning I will probably call them a sausage! …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. I will always ensure your fur person is kept as happy and safe as possible whilst in my care. I will always look out for risks and hazards and minimise them where possible. They are the priority above all else. I will sent photo and text updates of my visits/walks. Your keys will always be kept safe and returned at the time and place of your request. I shall treat your home as if it where my own, going only places I need to, taking my shoes off if requested, cleaning up anything animal related and if I’ve needed a drink washing up my glass! 😊

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Selma took time to get our rescued young GSD used to her by arranging two meet and greets. He was immediately relaxed in her home environment and with the calm energy Selma projects. Such a relief to find such a lovely lady to trust with our dog. Thank you!

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.

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

Denitsa was a fantastic sitter. From first meet to daily updates. I appreciated that my dog was safe and in good hands and in a comfortable setting. Denitsa sent daily updates and I could clearly see how happy my dog was. I had great confidence and the reassurance whilst away my dog was in great hands.

As soon as I met Isabelle I knew she would be perfect to look after Millie. She is such a lovely, kind , caring person and clearly loves looking after dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and videos and I could see Mille was having THE best time, lots of walks in the park, the run of the house and I could see she made herself at home straight away ! I will definitely board Millie with Isabelle again and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her! Thank you Isabelle 😊

About: Hi! I’m your dog’s dedicated "Aunty," offering a reliable, calm, and trustworthy home boarding experience. Having recently lost my own beloved dog, I know how vital peace of mind is. I promise to love and care for your furry family member just like my own, ensuring they are settled so you can truly relax. As a full-time remote worker, I am always here to supervise. Your dog will enjoy free reign of my secure home and garden, alongside exciting walks through our beautiful countryside, north downs and Folkestone Warren to name but a few. To keep minds active, I provide fun sniffing games and mental puzzles, balanced with endless snuggles and quiet downtime. The Details: Requirements: Dogs must be house-trained (puppies welcome and accommodated!). Guests must tolerate cats, as my independent resident kitty keeps to herself. Peace of Mind: I offer initial meet-and-greets, plus discounted short "practice stays" before longer visits to ensure a perfect fit. Spaces are limited for a truly tailored, boutique experience. Get in touch today to chat about your dog's next stay! 🐶❤️ I work full time from home. Your dog will have free run of my house and garden. You tell me your routine and I will do my best to follow it. Most likely a good morning walk before breakfast, another around lunchtime and an evening stroll around the block. Obviously in extreme heat or torrential rain I will be a little flexible. I don't mind a muddy dog as long as your dog doesn't mind a bath! I have a fenced garden and he /she will be able to spend as much time outside as they chose or ask to go. They are welcome on furniture and I am happy for them to sleep upstairs with me. I just want them to feel safe and loved whilst they are here.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and various pets throughout my life! I have experience with both large and small breeds of dogs as well as cats. Growing up we always had dogs in the house, and never less than 4! Because I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, I would say I have quite the love for them along with the experience for caring for them. Because I’ve been given the opportunity to care for dogs from young to old, energetic to reserved my entire life, I know how to accommodate to the dogs needs and be knowledgable enough to know what the dog needs most. Wether it’s a shorter walk due to arthritis or more physical time outside to burn off some energy, you can be certain your dogs needs will be met and they will be loved on! I work fully remote and from home. I go on walks daily in the morning, afternoon and evening, so I am happy to bring along your dog or visit your home to take them on walks :-) All plants/ Potential hazards are always removed before welcoming a dog or cat into my home. Dogs will be walked with a lead unless otherwise specified by owner!

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the go to pet sitter when family and friends are away. Dogs, cats and other pets are always welcome in my home and I love animals. I am regular walker and am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up mess. Calm and hyper dogs are welcome always. Their needs are the most important when it comes to caring for an animal so if its too hot for a walk then we stay in and play indoors or in the shaded garden if its raining and they want to go out ive got a raincoat I am not afraid of rain and if your pet loves to get covered in mud im not afraid to get dirty and I am more than happy to give them a bath. I am available thursday to sunday unless I have special things planned but I will give everyone more than enough notice to find extra care Im currently working part time and the rest of the week involves park days and beach days with my little boy so any pet care can be provided. I am also a jogger if your pet likes regular running and I have an accessible large crate for any sized dog if needed I have a fenced garden and 3 very friendly cats who have been trained to behave around dogs as they are outdoor pets. I have dog food wet and dry always available and pets are allowed on the furniture as long as they are house trained

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!

Cherri was excellent with my Dog Arnie - She responded really quickly to any messages I sent, arranged a meet and greet which put my mind at rest as she is located in a lovely village with amazing walks 5 mins from her house. I am sure if Arnie could talk (although he is very vocal as Cherri found out !) he would say that he had an amazing time being pampered, fed and walked for the days he was there - was definitely a home from home experience - I would have no hesitation in booking Arnie in with Cherri again in the future.
