“This is the third time Barbara has looked after my dogs and they have been so well cared for again that I'm not sure they wanted to come home. The dogs are happy and very relaxed and I could not ask for more. I made a mistake with the booking but Barbara rectified it very quickly (and patiently) so, as always, it's the owner not the dogs that need sorting 😅”
“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.”
“We recently left our dog Banff with Roz while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He seemed completely at ease, clearly enjoying his time — especially the cuddles! We really appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave us peace of mind and always brought a smile to our faces. Roz clearly has a genuine love for animals, and Banff looked so content in every picture. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again — highly recommended!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Really pleased with the care provided, kept in contact, sent plenty of pictures so I could see how my boy was getting on, really friendly and will definitely be rebooking in future, great service”
“Charlotte was very welcoming to both Bertie and I. Bertie was well cared for and had lots of stimulation attention and company that Bertie absolutely loves. Giving him lots of socialisation opportunities. I was provided with updates and pictures and didn’t have to worry. Would certainly recommend.”
“Charly was excellent with Angel. Regular photo updates with Angel out having walks in nature, playing with her dog and lovely children. Charly was also really great to communicate with and we will definitely reach out again in future. Thank you!”
“Thank you Charlotte and family for looking after Buddy. He made himself right at home! He is used to plenty of exercise and lots of cuddles and playtime and he certainly received all of these! Regular updates and photos reassured us Bud was having the best time.”
“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.”
“We contacted Abby at extremely late notice for care for our dog, Penny, owing to plans having fallen through. Abbey coordinated a meet to ensure Penny was comfortable and confirmed she could look after Penny for us. Whilst away, Abbey communicated regularly, giving us updates of Penny. She really looked after her, Penny has clearly had a great time and I’d absolutely return to Abbey if we ever find ourselves needing care cover again. Thank you so much.”
“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!”
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.
About: Taken care of neighbours dogs and cats before, being trained in dog first aid is important to me as I want to be prepared for any eventuality. I work full-time, but I have every weekend off as well as one day a week working from home, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have an 8-year-old Dalmatian called Monty, who I share with my dad. Monty usually stays at my home with me and my partner at weekends. He is a much-loved part of the family and is very used to being around people and having a relaxed home environment. If your dog or cat is not comfortable around other dogs, please don’t worry. Monty can stay elsewhere while your pet is staying with us, so they can have the home and attention they need without feeling stressed or unsettled. Your pet’s comfort and wellbeing will always come first. ☺️ My partner, Dean, who you can see in some of the other photos, will also be around and will help me care for your beloved pets. We both love animals and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and, just as importantly, lots of time to relax and feel at home. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time in a safe environment. Our back door is kept securely locked, giving us extra peace of mind when pets are in our care. We’re also lucky to have plenty of lovely fields and walking routes nearby, which are perfect for longer walks and giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and get plenty of exercise. 🐾💕 We want every pet staying with us to feel safe, comfortable and at home, with a good balance of exercise, play, relaxation and lots of love.

“Our miniature dachshund Maeve has just stayed with Lucy for 5 nights and she had the best time. Lucy was so good at keeping us updated with pictures while we were away so we were completely relaxed. We’ve already booked Maeve in again as Lucy was so good with her.”

About: Hi! My name is Lauren and (along with my partner) I absolutely love dogs 💗🐾 I've been around dogs of all breeds since I was young, and have been dogsitting for family and friends for over 10 years. I've looked after everything from Dobermans to Labradoodles! I also really enjoy pet training, and have taught many family dogs basic commands. I currently have my own lovely Dachshund, who absolutely loves the company of others doggies. 🥰 I work part time and my partner works from home, so there is almost always someone at the house!

I have a fenced, secure garden with lots of space for your furbaby to run around! I have a dog flap so they can easily come in and out of the garden without waiting for someone, but we often leave the back door open too. Dogs are allowed everywhere in our house, and we have lots of cozy beds around. We also have a crate and a metal pen, if your dog prefers a separate space for sleeping.

“Hannah clearly loves and cares about cats. She sent me photos of how my cats were doing and even the very nervous one seemed fairly relaxed about her, at least at tea time lol. Both cats were happy and relaxed when I came home from my mini break. Thanks Hannah xx”
“We were really pleased with the care our cat received. Gemma was able to help us out at short notice (due to a cancellation), arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand, and kept us updated with messages and photos. It was very reassuring to know our cat was in good hands. We'd happily recommend Gemma and would definitely use her again.”
“Amy was amazing! Came over to meet us and our dog before the session which was lovely, she was so accommodating and send us lovely updates! Will definitely use Amy again, thank you so much! xx”
About: A little about me 🐾 My name is Annabelle, and I’ve lived in Headcorn, Kent, for the past 16 years with my family. I love animals, especially cats! I enjoy spending time with my family and our two beautiful Ragdoll cats, Freddie and Lulu. Over the years, I’ve really enjoyed looking after my own cats, as well as friends’ and family’s cats and pets. Now that I have more spare time, I’d love the opportunity to look after other people’s cats more often. I understand how important it is to leave your cat(s) with someone you trust when you’re going away, as this has always been a worry for me too. I absolutely love going on holiday, but I hate leaving my cats behind! I will do my very best to look after your cat(s) in the way they are used to, making sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send photos and updates if you wish. When I visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water and maintain their usual routines. I’ll empty and clean their litter trays and keep things fresh and tidy. I’m very happy to chat to them, play with them, give them lots of fuss, or brush them if they enjoy it. I love that every cat has their own unique personality and their own likes and dislikes, and I look forward to getting to know each one and finding out what they enjoy most. I’m kind, reliable and tidy, and I’m very happy to meet you before booking so you can tell me all about your cat(s), their personality and any individual requirements. I look forward to meeting you and your cats 🐾
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs (chickens, rabbits, wallabies, birds...you name it, we had them at some point in the family home). I've also had several cats of my own over the years so I have good experience in taking care of them.
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: 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’m reliable, patient, and will always give updates so you know your feline friend is safe, loved, and stressfree.
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.

“Nicola was fantastic with our 4 month old puppy - I was anxious about leaving her for the day but Nicola’s lovely, calm home was the perfect setting, and Bonnie was very well taken care of. I received photo updates throughout the day and picked up a very happy pup. I will definitely be booking Nicola again 😊”

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 were regularly updated with photos of Teddy enjoying himself too which was fab to know he was having fun & settled in his new surroundings. We are looking forward to his next visit.”

My own dog is also crate trained so I have experience with this.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring dog lover with personal experience owning and looking after dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, relaxing at home, or simply having someone around for company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I only recently lost my own dog and have decided to try pet sitting for a while before I consider getting another of my own. I currently work full-time from home but have plenty of time for walks and play. I would relish the company. I can also work remotely at your house. I have a long fenced and secure garden. I also back onto a field where there are lovely walking paths. If I am sitting at your home I will be happy to follow your routine.
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 have had dogs in the home for the last 25 years, I enjoy the company of dogs, am sensitive to their needs and am passionate about providing exercise, play and cuddles. I am home Monday, Wednesday, Friday and most weekends. I work Tuesday and Thursday with someone home after 4pm on these days. I am able to accommodate up to two walks a day. I have flexible working to an extent so if you are planning a holiday let me know the dates and I may be able to take the time off work. I have a secure private garden and large green spaces in walking distance. My house is dog safe. My children are kind and gentle with animals and love all animals.
About: Hi, I’m Zimi! 🐶 I’ve been caring for pets for around 20 years, including running my own dog walking and pet sitting business and studying animal care in college. Along the way, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older dogs, and even travelling across Europe helping large groups of rescue dogs. This gave me lots of experience reading dog body language, understanding different temperaments, and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. I have experience with training and mental stimulation with fun games! I also have my own rescue dog who is reactive, which has taught me a lot about patience, calm handling, and understanding anxious or shy dogs. Because of this, I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra reassurance and care. Right now, I don’t host dogs at my home, but I love walking, visiting, and spending time with pets in their own environment, giving them plenty of love, attention, and fun while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or shy and slow-paced, I adjust my approach to suit their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need a calm presence, extra reassurance, or gentle handling. I’m currently working part time with an incredibly flexible schedule, so please feel free to ask about any timings that you might need and we can go from there. I take the safety and wellbeing of every pet very seriously. Every walk, visit, and in-home stay is carefully planned to ensure your dog or cat feels secure, happy, and comfortable! I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and cues, so pets always feel supported and stress free. I provide a calm, structured environment, whether we’re walking outside, exploring new spaces, or staying at home. For pets with special needs, anxiety, or shyness, I’m especially attentive and patient, making sure routines are followed and pets feel safe. I communicate openly with owners, sending regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I strive to create an environment where pets and their humans feel confident and relaxed. I am very empathetic and understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I strive to deliver a service I myself would be happy with.

I’m sure we can make something work :) :) You know your fury friend the best so I will cater to each individual need the best I can. Their safety is my main priority.
About: I'm a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they get the exercise, affection, and routine they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m a firm believer that pets are family. Whether it’s a long walk in the woods or a quiet evening on the sofa, life is just better with a furry companion by your side. I am home with my furbabies enjoying walks and cuddles everyday. I offer quality care in my home for boarding dogs, and doggy visits. We treat every dog as one of the family. Our two friendly spaniels love to play in our big secure garden and explore the countryside around us. They enjoy meeting new friends and welcoming them into our home.

“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.”
“We recently left our dog Banff with Roz while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He seemed completely at ease, clearly enjoying his time — especially the cuddles! We really appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave us peace of mind and always brought a smile to our faces. Roz clearly has a genuine love for animals, and Banff looked so content in every picture. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again — highly recommended!”
“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.”
“Really pleased with the care provided, kept in contact, sent plenty of pictures so I could see how my boy was getting on, really friendly and will definitely be rebooking in future, great service”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“We contacted Abby at extremely late notice for care for our dog, Penny, owing to plans having fallen through. Abbey coordinated a meet to ensure Penny was comfortable and confirmed she could look after Penny for us. Whilst away, Abbey communicated regularly, giving us updates of Penny. She really looked after her, Penny has clearly had a great time and I’d absolutely return to Abbey if we ever find ourselves needing care cover again. Thank you so much.”
“Lucy was fantastic from the very beginning. She took the time to introduce our dogs to each other and followed all of the instructions for looking after Loki perfectly. She gave him amazing walks every day and regularly sent photos and videos to keep me updated, which was reassuring. Loki came home happy, relaxed, and looking great. I think he thoroughly enjoyed his little holiday with Lucy! I would definitely use her services again and would not hesitate to recommend her to others”
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.
About: Taken care of neighbours dogs and cats before, being trained in dog first aid is important to me as I want to be prepared for any eventuality. I work full-time, but I have every weekend off as well as one day a week working from home, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have an 8-year-old Dalmatian called Monty, who I share with my dad. Monty usually stays at my home with me and my partner at weekends. He is a much-loved part of the family and is very used to being around people and having a relaxed home environment. If your dog or cat is not comfortable around other dogs, please don’t worry. Monty can stay elsewhere while your pet is staying with us, so they can have the home and attention they need without feeling stressed or unsettled. Your pet’s comfort and wellbeing will always come first. ☺️ My partner, Dean, who you can see in some of the other photos, will also be around and will help me care for your beloved pets. We both love animals and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and, just as importantly, lots of time to relax and feel at home. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time in a safe environment. Our back door is kept securely locked, giving us extra peace of mind when pets are in our care. We’re also lucky to have plenty of lovely fields and walking routes nearby, which are perfect for longer walks and giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and get plenty of exercise. 🐾💕 We want every pet staying with us to feel safe, comfortable and at home, with a good balance of exercise, play, relaxation and lots of love.

“Ashleigh was fab with Arnie and he had a great holiday in her home. He came home shattered! Ashleigh has a wonderful ‘no-problem’ manner, she is very calm with the dogs and takes great care, and love, of them. I would highly recommend her for safe and loving dog care.”
