“Roz could not have taken greater care of Duke. From the moment we dropped Duke off, he was treated as part of the family. We always felt he was in safe hands. And the regular photos Roz shared clearly showed Duke was having a whale of a time. I can’t recommend Roz highly enough. And neither can Duke.”
“We’ve just picked up our dog after a 2 week stay with Jen. He has had a great time with her and her family. We had regular photos while we were away so we could see how happy he was. I was a bit anxious about leaving Snoop because he’s only young but I had nothing to worry about. Jen offers a home away from home and I think Snoop would have happily stayed there forever. I have no hesitation to recommend Jen and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs in my life since I was very young - With experience of house sitting for village friends and close family and friends. I absolutely love getting to know each pet and their funny little personalities. I regularly dog sit for friends who go away for a period of time - I don’t currently have any pets that are living with me so any fur friends I care for have my full attention. I’m currently working 9 to 5 Mon - Fri but I am available most weekends starting from Friday evenings. I am also available to walk dogs or check in first thing in the morning before work and after work throughout the week. I work local to Marden so if there is a need for someone to check in on a pet around the area, I am free to do so. If needed, I can care for pets in my own home however, I do have limited space so I can only cater for small to medium sized dogs - I have a small court yard garden however there are miles of fields that surround me for long walks.
“Bear went to stay with Nicola and Jude for 8days while we went on holiday to Spain and we were so happy with the care and attention he received. This was the first time we have ever left Bear and Nicola treated him like her own and gave us regular updates, photos and videos. Bear was very happy and looked like he had a great week getting lots of nice walks and cuddles. We have already rebooked for our next trip and recommend her highly!”
“Toots was made very welcome. It was incredibly hot in the UK and she was kept cool and happy. Visited the beach too! Charly kept us updated regularly which gave us full peace of mind that all was well. Couldn’t wish for a better arrangement.”
“Ania looked after Roxy wonderfully, with great walks and playing with other dogs. She’s kept me well up to date and ensured that Roxy would be happy with an introduction to her dog before she stayed with them.”
“Michael was great. He gave Millie a brilliant holiday. He was very attentive to her needs and looked after her really well. We got lots of updates which was reassuring. Millie is already looking forward to visiting again.”
“Elena was wonderful with my little spaniel, accommodating her needs and foibles, and giving her lots of love and attention. Clem quickly became part of team Cockerpoo, and enjoyed her stay with Winnie and Ivy. Lovely rural location with plenty of space for safe and interesting walks. Will definitely rebook for further visits, many thanks!”

“Lisa was absolutely wonderful with my senior Staffie, Honey. From the start, she was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced with older dogs and their unique needs. Throughout the stay, Lisa kept me updated and made sure Honey was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone, especially those with senior dogs who need a little extra care and compassion.”

“Lizzie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She went above and beyond by meeting with us a few weeks beforehand to make sure my dog got along well with her and her dogs, which really put my mind at ease. During the stay, Lizzie treated my dog like one of her own and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would 100% recommend Lizzie to anyone and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Mark really took the time to get to know Diggle. Mark is very laid back and easy going so I knew he and Diggle would be a great match and also that I would feel relaxed. Mark sent lots of photos and videos and I could see how comfortable and at home Diggle had become. He loved the one to one attention and all the walks. Diggle missed me while I was away, which I knew he would so I really appreciated Mark letting me know. This was a very last minute booking but could not have worked out better and I knew Diggle was going to be safe and happy and have love and fun.”
“Luna really enjoyed her second stay with Kellie. We are so happy with how well she was looked after and it was lovely to have the photo updates. We have had two great experiences with Kellie and would book again.”
“Jacqueline looked after our Siberian kitten Jasper while we were away in Houston, and we couldn’t have asked for better. She sent us an update every single day — always lovely, reassuring messages that put our minds completely at ease while we were so far from home. She’s warm, friendly, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Jasper was happy, settled, and well looked after when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“My boys, Alfie & Bertie, had a lovely time with Rebecca. They were obviously happy & well looked after. I really appreciated the photos & updates from Rebecca. I know where to leave them if I’m in the Maidstone area again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was five years old, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From an early age, I regularly looked after family and friends’ pets, which naturally developed into a real passion for providing quality, dependable pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work from home full-time, which means I’m able to provide attentive, round-the-clock care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping your dog company, I’m always nearby to ensure they feel safe and settled. On the rare occasions when I need to step out, my partner Tee — who also works from home — is available to step in, so your pet is never left unattended. Together, we make sure every dog in our care receives constant supervision, comfort, and companionship. caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and familiar environment that mirrors their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special requirements consistent with what they’re used to, so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain the same level of care and attention — following the owner’s instructions carefully, keeping to established routines, and ensuring their surroundings stay tidy and secure. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

About: Cats are wonderfully individual, some are social and affectionate, some are playful and energetic, while others prefer a quieter approach and plenty of personal space. 🐱💛 At Biscuit Break Pet Care, I provide personalised cat care in the comfort of your cat’s own home, allowing them to remain in their familiar environment and maintain as much of their normal routine as possible while you are away. Depending on your cat’s individual needs, visits can include: 🍽️ Feeding and fresh water 🧼 Litter tray care 💊 Medication support where appropriate and within my training 🎾 Play and enrichment 🐾 Companionship and gentle interaction 🏡 Checking on your cat’s general wellbeing 💛 Quiet, low-stress care for more nervous or independent cats I take the time to meet each cat as an individual. Some may want plenty of attention and playtime, while others may prefer a calm visit with minimal interaction. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to cat care and the goal is to provide the care your cat is most comfortable with. 🐾 I also understand that cats can sometimes hide signs that they are unwell or not feeling themselves. During visits, I pay attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, toileting and general presentation, and will keep you updated about anything unusual or concerning. Whether your cat is young and playful, elderly and requiring extra comfort, nervous around new people, or simply happiest in their own home, Biscuit Break Pet Care aims to provide calm, attentive and personalised care while you are away. 🏡🐱
About: Hi! I’m Zimi, and I’ve been caring for pets for around 20 years, including cats of every personality, from shy rescues to playful troublemakers. I’ve run my own pet sitting and dog walking business and have experience with all kinds of animals, so I know how important it is to keep your cat happy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand that cats have their own rhythms and personalities, and I tailor my care to each one, whether it’s quiet companionship, gentle play, or extra treats and cuddles. I’m reliable, patient, and will always give updates so you know your feline friend is safe, loved, and stressfree.
About: I fell in love with cats after not understanding the draw and an ex forcing us to get some, and since then I will always offer to look after any friends or family's cats, I love playing with them and stimulating their particular play methods. I now live somewhere away from main roads and am looking to regain some feline love.

“I would 100% recommend Sarah, Sarah and her partner were amazing while watching my cat Lulu. I was sent daily updates with pictures and Videos and Lulu was so comfortable at their home. Great communication. I would book with Sarah again ❤️”
About: What sets me apart is the patience and calm care I give to every cat. I understand that many cats can be shy or cautious around new people, so I always move at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to handle feeding routines, playtime, and deep-cleaning litter trays so your cat stays happy and stress-free while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.
About: I have raised and trained my spaniel, labrador and two children here at our family home in Marden. The dogs are well behaved and friendly! I’m my own boss and work from home, where my dogs always have company. We enjoy country walks locally, as well as trips in the campervan, to Bedgebury and Mote Park. My wife also works from home, so I can provide a dedicated service where necessary. In our home, dogs occupy the open-plan kitchen/diner/patio/garden area of the house, but are allowed into the lounge rooms in the evenings, to relax with the whole family. Our dogs sleep in the diner, with two cages (medium & large) available when security or separation is required.
“Ellie-May was wonderful. I contacted her last minute to check on our cats while we were away and she delivered. She was communicative and sent daily updates and photos. We would definitely use her again.”

“Charlotte has been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process of providing our first day care for Teddy. Charlotte & her family are so lovely and welcoming and Teddy seems to have had a great time. She has been so helpful and accommodating throughout and we feel very lucky to have found her.

We will definitely use your services again.”

I have over 20 years of experience pet sitting for friends and family, as well as 6 years fostering rescue dogs, helping them feel safe and settled while they waited for their forever homes. For the past year I’ve been walking dogs professionally, caring for a variety of breeds, ages and temperaments.

My home provides a calm, welcoming space for dogs, and I have a fully fenced garden with plenty of room for safe play and exercise.

About: I have had dogs since a child, I have always had dogs in my family as an adult, I have bred a few litters of puppies, trained my dogs, walk them every day, I groom my own dogs as well as others, I treat basic health issues. I’m sensitive to each individual dogs needs whether it’s exercise or time on their own. I believe I can read a dog’s body language and behaviour. I am firm but fair and find dogs like my routine. I am covered by my own pet insurance in case of emergencies. I’m retired so I’m at home as much as I want to be, I’m up early and can adopt any routine to suit any visiting dog, I have family and visiting grandchildren who would be supervised around any visiting dog, we all love dogs and they play a big part of our life. I generally do one big walk a day, forests, woods, parks, open land, beaches, I love walking and enjoy taking the dogs with me. I’m often working outside in the garden and the dogs love being free to explore the garden and checking up on me. I have a miniature poodle, my children have a toy poodle, a Cavapoo and a lurcher, all our dogs are well socialised and get along with other dogs. At the moment I have 2 dogs on the property, they get walked every day but I have 6 acres they can explore all day, they can go outside when they please, or they can also slob about on the sofas, play together or with their toys. Any visiting dog would be treated like my own. My dogs don’t need crate time but I'm happy to use a crate if a dog prefers the security of a limited area. Any new dog who comes for the day or boarding I will ask you to fill out a questionnaire so I know everything about your dog’s routine and care instructions, I want your dog to feel at home as much as possible.

About: I have taken care of animals especially cats since I was a young girl and have continued to have cats as pets with my daughters.

I work within a school and I’m available weekends and school holidays. I can be flexible with drop off and collection times and over a free meet and greet for first time boarders. I treat all dogs as though they are my own and want them to feel at home as much as possible. I allow them cuddles on the sofa and snoozing in the bed.

Our dog is a little nervous and Harriet catered to her needs and she came home very relaxed and happy ! Throughout the day we received various photos, out on walks, having a nap and enjoying the company of her dog. Well done, would not hesitate to use again and recommend.”
About: I have knowledge based on the research I do for my own pets, a cat, dog, and lizard. I do extensive research on specific breed behaviours and have a high energy dog that I trained myself and walk daily, as well as give enrichment games & toys. I’m a stay at home mum with an under 1 year old, and my kelpie girl Sandy. I am available any day of the week! I would respect your rules, wishes, guidelines, anything! My first priority is a safe, happy pet. Secondly, I never leave a trace, only footsteps! I take nothing, but pictures :)
About: I have been a pet owner since my childhood, I am an animal lover and love to spend time connecting with pets and seeing them happy. In more recent years I have been working in pet care professionally. It's been a dream role for me, I feel very lucky to have such wonderful little fur-clients! I have experience with cats, dogs and small furries of all ages. I also have experience with disabled and elderly animals. I am very in tune with animals which works fabulously for helping settle little ones when their parents are away for the night, or even for day care. I know how to distract and entertain a pet until it realises that everything is ok and then they can relax and get inquisitive until mum or dad gets back. Please feel free to contact me with any queries, I know it can be daunting leaving your pet with someone but hopefully you will feel more comfortable after a chat. Pet care is my work - I am very flexible and am available depending on who is already booked in with me. Please feel free to enquire. I have a fully fenced in back garden in a lovely safe area that isn't viewable from the street. My home is pet friendly with plenty of toys and areas to investigate, or equally my lap for strokes!

“Lucy was amazing with my dachshund waffle. She managed to help me out short notice and was very flexible and accommodating. Waffle looked like he really enjoyed his walks with Lucy and I received some lovely pictures. Would definitely recommend Lucy and will be using her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Zimi! 🐶 I’ve been caring for pets for around 20 years, including running my own dog walking and pet sitting business and studying animal care in college. Along the way, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older dogs, and even travelling across Europe helping large groups of rescue dogs. This gave me lots of experience reading dog body language, understanding different temperaments, and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. I have experience with training and mental stimulation with fun games! I also have my own rescue dog who is reactive, which has taught me a lot about patience, calm handling, and understanding anxious or shy dogs. Because of this, I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra reassurance and care. Right now, I don’t host dogs at my home, but I love walking, visiting, and spending time with pets in their own environment, giving them plenty of love, attention, and fun while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or shy and slow-paced, I adjust my approach to suit their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need a calm presence, extra reassurance, or gentle handling. I’m currently working part time with an incredibly flexible schedule, so please feel free to ask about any timings that you might need and we can go from there. I take the safety and wellbeing of every pet very seriously. Every walk, visit, and in-home stay is carefully planned to ensure your dog or cat feels secure, happy, and comfortable! I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and cues, so pets always feel supported and stress free. I provide a calm, structured environment, whether we’re walking outside, exploring new spaces, or staying at home. For pets with special needs, anxiety, or shyness, I’m especially attentive and patient, making sure routines are followed and pets feel safe. I communicate openly with owners, sending regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I strive to create an environment where pets and their humans feel confident and relaxed. I am very empathetic and understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I strive to deliver a service I myself would be happy with.
“Abbie was really friendly & my dog loves going for walks with her & I feel safe knowing where they’ve walked & for how long etc. Would definitely recommend Abbie and will be booking again as she’s reliable & very flexible about changes.”
About: I am a farmers daughter so grew up surrounded by animals. I have 53 years experience with dogs of all kinds, from playful pups to golden oldies. My main focus is animal care because I love them. I do casual work occasionally but I am mostly free to help those who may need it. Pets need attention as they are reliant on you for their care needs. If a dog has an accident for instance, like our old lady does sometimes it means I missed a signal, not that she's a bad girl, because she certainly is not. Regular walks or runs in open spaces, good food, grooming and lots of fuss are essential to their happiness. Plenty of patience is also required for proper training and of course lots of rewards for good behaviour. My weight limit for walking dogs is 14kg. I am DBS checked and carry my own insurance, as well as that offered by Rover. I am very discrete, and the only people who know where I work and who I work for are my immediate family. This protects your privacy and my safety. I love my work as much as I love the animals I care for, their welfare is my priority at all times. I will take time gerting to know your animals and gaining their trust. Once this is achieved I am more than happy to take dogs further afield for walks if it is required, such as parks or woodlands. But I will generally walk them at least twice a day locally if it is not.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from the age of 10 years old, personal pets , friends and other families in my local area. Previously I have been relied on when pet owners need sitters / walkers - I work from home so am able to stay in where necessary and take lunch hours for walks. I work Monday to Friday from home with 2 days in my London office however the rest of the week I am available and looking forward to helping other pet owners out where I can. We have a reasonable garden (fenced off no way of getting out) and there are many walks around my area. I aim to make sure the pet is comfortable with me and make sure they are happy. I work full time in the week however I work from home at least 3-4 days a week so I will be able to take your pet on walks / keep them entertained whilst I am at home. I don’t currently have any pets of my own however I live in a 3 bedroom home which has a fenced off garden. In the area that I live we have access to lots of trails / fields for the pups to play / roam in. I don’t let any of my pets off the lead unless we are in an enclosed area and I feel confident that the dog / pawrents are ok with this
About: 🐾💛 Welcome to Biscuit Break Pet Care 💛🐾 Hello! My name is Lauren (Ren), and I created Biscuit Break Pet Care, a professional, compassionate and continually developing pet care service based in Smarden, serving the surrounding local villages and Ashford area. 🏡🐾 With over four years of personal animal care experience, alongside professional experience within kennels, catteries, dog walking and pet-sitting businesses, I have cared for a wide variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own individual personality, routine and needs. My approach to pet care is centred around comfort, welfare, low-stress handling and individualised care. I believe pets should be given the time, patience and understanding they need to feel safe and comfortable, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, enrichment, maintaining a familiar routine, or simply allowing a more nervous pet to have space and settle at their own pace. 💛 I currently provide care for a wide range of companions, including dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, aquatics and amphibians. 🐶🐱🐹🦜🦎🐠🐸 Biscuit Break Pet Care is fully insured and DBS checked, and I am continually expanding my knowledge through further education and training, including comprehensive Pet First Aid & CPR training across multiple species. My long-term goal is to continue developing Biscuit Break into a knowledgeable, welfare-focused pet care service, with further education in areas such as animal behaviour, enrichment, species-specific care, low-stress handling and more specialist animal welfare. 🎓🐾 Whether you are going away on holiday, working long hours, taking on extra shifts, or simply need some additional support with your pets, I aim to provide reliable and compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while your pets remain in the environment they know best. All new clients receive a complimentary initial meet and greet before their first booking, along with a welcome packet providing all the details and information on what we do. This gives us the opportunity to meet, discuss your pets’ individual needs and make sure everything is arranged clearly before their care begins. 🐾☺️ 🐾 What to Expect | Scheduling & Cancellations Biscuit Break Pet Care operates on a first-come, first-served booking basis. You are welcome to enquire about as many dates as you need, whether you require a single visit, multiple home visits, daytime care, overnight care or 24-hour pet sitting. Bookings are confirmed based on availability and are secured once all required booking arrangements have been completed. 🗓️🐾 I will always do my best to provide your pets with the care they need, but availability can become limited especially during busy holiday periods, so I recommend enquiring as early as possible to avoid disappointment. ☀️🏡 I understand that plans can change and that life can sometimes be unpredictable. If you need to cancel or change your booking, please let me know as soon as possible so I can update my schedule and, where possible, offer the dates to another client.

About: I have raised and trained my spaniel, labrador and two children here at our family home in Marden. The dogs are well behaved and friendly! I’m my own boss and work from home, where my dogs always have company. We enjoy country walks locally, as well as trips in the campervan, to Bedgebury and Mote Park. My wife also works from home, so I can provide a dedicated service where necessary. In our home, dogs occupy the open-plan kitchen/diner/patio/garden area of the house, but are allowed into the lounge rooms in the evenings, to relax with the whole family. Our dogs sleep in the diner, with two cages (medium & large) available when security or separation is required.
About: I have taken care of animals especially cats since I was a young girl and have continued to have cats as pets with my daughters.

I have a fenced garden where my fences are high. I will have dogs and cats on a lead who require going outside. See above.
About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I recently moved to Staplehurst and have a secure enclosed garden and a park on my doorstep! I'm a massive dog lover, growing up with cats and dogs at home I am very much missing the company a pet can give. Unfortunately, my partner and I are unable to get a dog due to work schedules but often pet sit for friends. I would love to meet you and your furry friend to get to know you both :) I am a midwife, working shifts, and so my work schedule means my availability differs each week. If I am off I do spend a lot of time going out for walks to get in my steps and would love a furry friend to accompany me! I will be happy to adjust my care for your pets to whatever they are used to/suits you. I have an enclosed garden then can run around in safely and a park right on my doorstep.

About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I have looked after dogs and puppies for over 18 years. I am comfortable with training puppies and will also be able to keep up with any training you are currently implementing in your dogs schedule. I've also got a lot of experience in taking care of older dogs, and will be able to provide a loving and cosy home from home for your companion! I work for myself so am able to be at home as much as I need to be. Often, I like to work from cafe’s or similar venues, so if you are comfortable with me taking your dog with me, I am more than happy to do so (they will be very much welcome!). I am used to travelling around the country to look after pets, with the furthest I have gone so far being North Wales! As I am on the road a lot, I have become comfortable with settling in to all different types of homes and welcome any instructions you can provide on how to care for your dog/cat. I appreciate that routine is important with animals, so I aim to maintain the same routine your pet is used to whilst I am staying with them.

I am currently in between jobs for a month so I am available on weekdays throughout the whole day. I am fit and active so happy to go on long walks if needed, also happy to play at home with your dog or just keep them company. I am very happy to accommodate the needs of any dog - just let me know if they prefer quiet company or if they want to be a lot more active.
“Hannah was absolutely amazing with our lively, huge 10 month old boisterous puppy. The regular updates were so reassuring and when we arrived home he was so calm. Thank you so much. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hannah again. This is the first time we’d ever used a dog sitter and are so impressed.”

“Roz could not have taken greater care of Duke. From the moment we dropped Duke off, he was treated as part of the family. We always felt he was in safe hands. And the regular photos Roz shared clearly showed Duke was having a whale of a time. I can’t recommend Roz highly enough. And neither can Duke.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs in my life since I was very young - With experience of house sitting for village friends and close family and friends. I absolutely love getting to know each pet and their funny little personalities. I regularly dog sit for friends who go away for a period of time - I don’t currently have any pets that are living with me so any fur friends I care for have my full attention. I’m currently working 9 to 5 Mon - Fri but I am available most weekends starting from Friday evenings. I am also available to walk dogs or check in first thing in the morning before work and after work throughout the week. I work local to Marden so if there is a need for someone to check in on a pet around the area, I am free to do so. If needed, I can care for pets in my own home however, I do have limited space so I can only cater for small to medium sized dogs - I have a small court yard garden however there are miles of fields that surround me for long walks.
“Ania looked after Roxy wonderfully, with great walks and playing with other dogs. She’s kept me well up to date and ensured that Roxy would be happy with an introduction to her dog before she stayed with them.”
“Michael was great. He gave Millie a brilliant holiday. He was very attentive to her needs and looked after her really well. We got lots of updates which was reassuring. Millie is already looking forward to visiting again.”
About: Zoology and Animal Behaviour Degree, First Aid and DBS checked. Finding someone to care for your pet when you can't is always a worry, as a dog and cat owner myself I can thoroughly relate and I offer services tailored to you and your pets' routine. I have been caring for clients, friends and family's pets for over seven years now, this includes: dogs, cats, small furies and reptiles. Having historically worked in a animal rescue, I'm pretty certain I've seen it all, from caring and raising new-born pups to providing palliative care for special seniors, administering medications and dealing with reactivity. At the moment, I work part time for a charity and fill the rest of my time doing what I love, which includes a lot of dog related activities. I travel the UK to raise awareness of the vulnerable native dogs breeds in the UK and compete at Crufts annually both to show and take part in Discover Dogs, in addition to other kennel club schemes. I have often had dogs come to stay and they always thoroughly enjoy a trip to our family farm where they can run through acres of grass and woodland or take a paddle in the lake. I am completely flexible and happy to work around you and your pet's needs by adjusting my schedule to fit your pet's routine. My house is a calm environment, I like to tire dogs out on walks and with stimulation in the home to that they are happy and satisfied to minimise stress. I have fenced garden and offer supervised outdoor playtime or sunbathing (weather/heat permitting). We have set meal times and my dogs are fantastic at calming any nervous individuals with their happy-go-lucky attitudes and love having other dogs come to stay and walk with. In any emergency our vets is just down the road.
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful with my senior Staffie, Honey. From the start, she was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced with older dogs and their unique needs. Throughout the stay, Lisa kept me updated and made sure Honey was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone, especially those with senior dogs who need a little extra care and compassion.”

As a current pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family - with plenty of affection, exercise, and individual attention to keep tails wagging and owners reassured. I work full time Monday to Friday and am fortunate to be able to bring my dog with me, meaning plenty of company, daily walks, and regular play throughout the day. I offer a warm, structured, and engaging environment, and am available to care for your dog for day sitting or weekend boarding from Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I have a large, secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor play, along with a friendly 10-month-old puppy who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a sociable, relaxed environment. Inside the home, pets are treated as part of the family, with plenty of supervision, routine, and individual attention. I am also happy to crate dogs if required, ensuring I can follow your pets usual routine and preferences. My approach remains consistent across all services, with care tailored to suit each pets needs.
“Lizzie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She went above and beyond by meeting with us a few weeks beforehand to make sure my dog got along well with her and her dogs, which really put my mind at ease. During the stay, Lizzie treated my dog like one of her own and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would 100% recommend Lizzie to anyone and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Mark really took the time to get to know Diggle. Mark is very laid back and easy going so I knew he and Diggle would be a great match and also that I would feel relaxed. Mark sent lots of photos and videos and I could see how comfortable and at home Diggle had become. He loved the one to one attention and all the walks. Diggle missed me while I was away, which I knew he would so I really appreciated Mark letting me know. This was a very last minute booking but could not have worked out better and I knew Diggle was going to be safe and happy and have love and fun.”
“My boys, Alfie & Bertie, had a lovely time with Rebecca. They were obviously happy & well looked after. I really appreciated the photos & updates from Rebecca. I know where to leave them if I’m in the Maidstone area again.”
“Robert & his partner provided a wonderful boarding home for my 2 dogs for 2 nights and 3 days - they obviously love dogs and judging from the numerous videos and photos I received, the dogs had a great time - long country walks, playing in the river, and lots of attention back home. My 2 dogs are not particularly well trained but I felt they were safe & sound with Robert, it was great having someone who could manage bigger dogs. Would definitely use Robert again.”
“Can’t thank you enough for taking so good care of my Mel! Laura is been taking Mel in several occasions when I had to travel and she’s sooo nice! Mel absolute adores her and it’s a real party Everytime they see each other! Can’t recommend enough! Till next time! X”
“My two dogs stayed with Ashleigh for a week. One of the dogs is old and has various medical issues. Ashleigh was a goodsent. Nothing was a problem for her. Animal loving, very caring and well organised. She even dropped them off to a kennel at the end of their stay as we were still travelling (she had a prior booking made and could not accommodate my girls for longer than a week). All in all i recommended Ashleigh wholeheartedly and will definitely book with her in the future. Dominika”
“Millie was fantastic! She helped us out at the very last minute when our previous sitter had to cancel. She was incredibly attentive and kept us up to date with lots of photos. I felt really comfortable leaving my Labrador with her as I knew he was being cared for brilliantly. She has a good understanding of dogs and kept my Alfie entertained with lots of country walks and games. I would definitely use Millie again.”
