“Would highly recommend Lisa. Our goldendoodle had a 10 day stay with her and was cared for like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos and took him on a variety of walks.. beach, woods and fields. He settled very well with her family and we will definitely book again 🐾🐾”
“James and Heather were fantastic! Grace loved them and loved her stay there. They sent me updates, photos and videos and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve seen Grace so happy with a border. I highly recommend them (although I didn’t want to as I want to keep them all for myself!) 🤣”
“Wan cared for Pixie like she was her own dog and sent plenty of updates and photos. I was reassured Pixie was in good hands and was being well looked after when we were away for a few days.”
“Peter really knew how to take care of my anxious dog whilst I was away for 10 days. I was sent daily updates and photo's/videos so I could see what activities and progress my dog was making. Nothing was too much bother for Peter and the dogs he cares for are treated with care and respect. I recommend Peter for dog sitting and I will certainly be using him again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs as part of the family and have had my own dog for the past 16 years. This has given me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, including their later years. I now have a young dog again, so I also have recent experience of puppy life, training and all that comes with it! Dogs continue to be a big part of our family, and I love getting out for walks, exploring and watching them play. I’m a mum and spend most of my time at home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the care, attention and company they need. I’m available for walks, daycare and boarding. I’m flexible and happy to work around each dog’s individual routine. I have a secure, fenced garden and a loving, dog-friendly home. Your dog will be treated as one of my own, with plenty of attention, companionship, play and care. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and settled, while following their usual routine and any specific needs.
“Bimba had a lovely stay with Lucinda, she was very well looked after and seemed very happy in the photos - especially the walks in local area. Great communication, I would book again without hesitation, highly recommend.”
“Ziggy spent a few nights with Meghan and knowing he was so well taken care of really helped me relax on my holiday. Meghan sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing in the heatwave. He got on really well with her dog and will definitely be back to visit again. Thoroughly recommend Meghan to anyone anxious about leaving their beloved pet with her. 🥰”
About: Hello, my name is Jilly. I live in Herne Bay and I am a professional pet carer. I have many decades of experience providing care for dogs and cats. For many years, I provided care for my own pets at home, as well as neighbours' pets, and occasionally strays, a full menagerie who I miss to this day! I'm also happy administering medication, should this ever be necessary. I live inbetween Reculver and Beltinge, with daily access to the calm, green spots that pets love. I am retired and so I can spend all day with your pets, treating them to treats, walks and cuddles! Please let me know your pet's schedules and I can adjust and tailor to their needs. I have a large, bright and calm home with a fenced garden and access to many ideal local amenities, including the walk to Reculver Towers.
“Mandy, John and Olivia were wonderful hosts for Winston. They gave him a most loving welcome and the highest standards of care. Mandy communicated with us every day throughout Winston’s two-week holiday with them, sending photographs videos and updates on his well-being. It was especially reassuring to know he was settling in well and was enjoying a happy time. I cannot recommend Mandy highly enough: superb, loving care throughout Winston’s stay.”
“Drop off and collection was easy. Our English Springer Spaniel received plenty of exercise, enjoyed the company of Dexter’s own dog and returned home happily worn out! Will definitely book again in the future”
“Thomas has been absolutely fantastic! This was the first time our 5 year old Vizsla was away from us, as we were going away for 10 days. Thomas clearly loves dogs, is relaxed, confident and understood Ziggy perfectly. He took time for a pre-meet and spent time with him at our home, and Ziggy took to him instantly. The stay was perfect and he was wonderfully looked after. We will definitely repeat! Maximum stars!”
“Dean was fantastic with my 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Great communication - with updates, photos and videos throughout the stay. I'd definitely recommend Dean as a sitter. I think my dog had a great time and will be using Dean again ☺️”
“Jelena was absolutely marvelous!! She has a natural affinity with dogs and Lola had a lovely stay. She had lots of exercise and was very well looked after. Every day we received pictures of our happy girl having a wonderful time. Thanks again Jelena and see you next time!”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle — a warm, friendly animal lover based in Canterbury. I live with my German Shorthaired Pointer, Otis, and two cats, Brownie and Peanut, so I’m very used to a busy, happy home with different personalities and energy levels. I’m new to offering dog care through Rover, but I bring years of real‑life experience as a dedicated pet owner. Living with both a high‑energy dog and calm, independent cats has taught me how to create a relaxed, safe environment where animals feel comfortable and understood. My approach is gentle, reliable, and calm. I’m easy to communicate with, and I’ll always make sure you feel updated and reassured while your dog is with me. I currently have plenty of flexibility in my week, which means I can offer reliable support for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and spending quality time with your animals. I live with my GSP and two cats, so I’m used to supporting pets with different needs and personalities. We have a safe, fully walled garden where dogs can relax and explore securely. I’m happy to separate animals when needed, and I can crate dogs safely and kindly — Otis used to be crated, so I’m very familiar with this. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. I enjoy taking dogs on both long, scenic walks and shorter, interesting routes depending on what suits them best.
“Sophie was absolutely brilliant with Wally! I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and could tell he was really content and well looked after. She kept me updated throughout, which was really reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Sophie again and would definitely recommend her!”

“We’ve been incredibly lucky to have Martha as our dog walker! She is reliable, professional, and truly cares about our dog like he’s her own. Every walk is done with love, attention, and care—and we can always tell how happy and relaxed our pup is afterward. Martha goes above and beyond, whether it’s adjusting to our schedule, sending updates, or giving that extra bit of attention when needed. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and dedicated dog walker!”
“Gina's communication was excellent, she also sent pics and replied promptly, putting my mind at ease. Monty my cat got on very well with her and she looked after the house. Will book again. 100 % recommend ”
“Lisa did drop in visits for our cats. She looked after them very well and kept us updated with photos of them. The cats seemed very happy and took a liking to Lisa. We met Lisa beforehand and she was very nice and understood how to look after the cats. We will definitely be requesting her help again in the near future.”
About: I have always been an animal lover since I was young. We have looked after two dogs in our household over the years, along with a rabbit and a goldfish. I have friends and family who all have pets who I have looked after over the years as well with drop in visits and walks. I have done some travelling over the years also and have always loved and given all attention to any animal I come across I am currently part time in a cafe and receive a monthly rota. weekdays are when I am mostly free at the moment and what my calendar shows I would follow the owner's routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and settled in their own home. This includes feeding them at their usual times, making sure they always have fresh water, taking them for walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention.
About: Hi, I'm Paris! I'm a dedicated and passionate vet student studying in Guildford. I'm a huge lover of all animals, but am especially partial to doggies. I like to work with all different types of dog and strive to keep them engaged and entertained whether on walks or at home. Being a vet student has some perks as I've learnt about animal behaviour and welfare as well as how to properly care for your animal. Growing up I've had a variety of animals from fish and guinea pigs to dogs cats and horses many of which have been rescues, so am confident in my ability to deal with different animals with different temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, exercise and companionship, and I strive to create a safe loving environment for every pet I look after. I am also a qualified dog first aider which reassures you your dog is in safe hands. As part of dog walking services, walks can be from 30 minutes up to an hour and a half dependent on the indivdual dog's needs and as discussed with owner. Off lead walking is dependent on how comfortable the owner is and how developed the dogs recall is, this however will be discussed with the owner. I am also available to do house visits in which I can let out your pooch, feed and provide some company for them. Or pet sit in which I care for them for a prolonged period of time, duties would then be discussed with owner. Whether its feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply offering cuddles I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life. I'm a clean and organised person and have a keen attention to detail. I listen well when it comes to a furry individual's specific needs and my approach is to let them decide how they want to interact with me. I've had experience in cat/dog sitting for neighbors many times, including those with health conditions and advanced age. I currently live with two lovely cats, Tommy and Julie.
About: I grew up in a household with cats, which gave me early, hands-on experience in understanding their needs, behaviours, and individual temperaments. Over the years, I have cared for a range of cats with different personalities, so I’m confident in creating a calm, safe, and stimulating environment for them. I currently own a Bengal cat, which means I am very familiar with managing a high-energy, intelligent breed that requires regular engagement, play, and attention, as well as plenty of affection. This has strengthened my ability to maintain routines, provide enrichment, and ensure pets remain happy and well-exercised. In addition, I care for an elderly dog who is blind. This has given me valuable experience in supporting animals with medical conditions and additional needs, including being attentive, patient, and consistent in their care. It has also developed my awareness of safety within the home environment and the importance of maintaining a predictable, secure space for animals. Overall, I am a responsible and attentive pet owner, with strong organisational skills, a good understanding of animal behaviour, and a genuine commitment to ensuring the wellbeing and comfort of pets in my care.
“Klara was an excellent cat sitter for our needy girls. She stayed overnight with them and was able to put my anxiety at ease throughout our trip away. She sent us plenty of photos, kept our flat clean and tidy, gave required medications to one of our cats and managed several toilet issues with our other cat, without complaint! ”
About: I’m a 22 year old from south India. Currently in Scotland working towards my undergraduate degree in Psychology. Cats have been a passion ever since a young age when I used to sneak in little kittens to my house without my parents’ knowledge. My current kitty is a lovely white rag doll that I may or may not have stolen off the streets. She is lovely little cuddles with the most ‘I’m done with life and everything under the sun’ expression.
“Fern was amazing, I have 2 cats one that's elderly and a baby who is very shy and skittish. Fern managed to bond with both and get the baby to have a snuggle. I received numerous videos and pictures of the girls which put me at ease. I had actually messed up the booking and Fern was great at changing and attending though the days were different from what was booked. Can recommend her highly enough.”
About: Calm, reliable drop-in care tailored to your cat’s individual personality and routine. Whether they’re confident and sociable or prefer their own space, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, litter tray care, medication where appropriate, play, enrichment and plenty of fuss — if they want it! As a professional animal care provider and Canine Behaviour Practitioner, I’m experienced in reading animal body language and adapting my approach to the individual.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve owned my pug for the past seven years and have experience caring for young pets, including puppies. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding routines, giving medication, and basic training. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, unlimited patience, and caring nature. I’ll always treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐶🐱❤️

All companions are loved and admired. Why take our word? From our vast experiences, with different kinds of companions and personalities, we can recognise behavioural traits and understand what it is your boy(s) or girl(s) want / need.

Heather, is home all day and we have access to a garden. We live less than 20ft from the sea so your furry friends will have the beauty of the sea to enjoy on walks as part of their daily routine when staying.

Daily walk, ATTENTION, food and drink. However, I return from work approximately 6pm (Tuesday-Saturday) when we would then go for an evening walk before dinner and bed.

We believe that our furry friends need a strong routine and a loving environment to thrive. We have an array of both physical and mental stimulating toys so they’ll never be bored.
“Absolutely brilliant, so helpful and friendly. Made us and more importantly our dog feel very welcome and sent us updates the entire stay. Will definitely be using Lisa in the future.”
“Edward took exceptional care of our dog, keeping us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which made us feel completely reassured that our dog was happy and enjoying himself. Our dog is usually quite nervous and unsure around new people and in unfamiliar environments, but Edward quickly put him at ease and made him feel right at home.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils, so looking after animals has always been a big part of my life. I now have my own dog, Daisy! I have had Daisy since she was a tiny little puppy and she's now 2, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your pet. I’ll always treat every dog with the same care, patience and affection I’d want someone to give my own. I love getting outdoors for walks and I’m equally happy giving them plenty of playtime, attention and cuddles at home. Daisy is usually by my side and will join me on dog walks and sittings. She’s a very friendly, playful and confident Westie who loves being around both people and other dogs. She’s very sociable and loves making new furry friends! 🐶🐾 I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to get to know what makes them feel happy and comfortable. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting into my day. I’m available during weekdays as well as weekends and can often accommodate different times depending on you and your pet’s routine. I have my own dog, Daisy, so walks and spending time outdoors are already a big part of my everyday life! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routines and needs, including feeding, walks, any house rules and anything else you’d like me to know. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always respect your home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on! Daisy will usually be with me, so I’d always want to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable around other dogs first. She’s very friendly and sociable, but I know every dog is different and their safety and comfort will always come first 🐾
“Nina was brilliant looking after our puppy, Roo. She sent lots of photos during the stay and it was clear that Roo had a lovely time staying with her - I’m not sure she wanted to leave! Highly recommend Nina’s services, she looked after her exactly as we’d asked, took great care with her, and was really easy to communicate with before and during the stay.”
“Very gentle and kind. Jordane has two very good female doggies which are very well educated and loved. Jordane's house has a large fenced garden. Zeus was very happy with his stay. Would definitely recommend”
“Such a kind and welcoming lady! Sent regular updates of my 2 doggies throughout the day so I could see how calm they were and how much fun they were having. Will definitely use Wan Jeong again!”

Dogs: I live in Tankerton and am available to take your dog for a big (or short) walk in the neighbourhood / by the seafront or drop in to check in and feed your pup.

I’m comfortable with Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Australian shepherds, Bernese etc). Cats: I have a beautiful Ragdoll x Siberian cross called Morgana, so I'm very experienced with cats.

About: Hi, I’m Rosalind! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 25+ years of experience caring for dogs, from tiny puppies through to elderly dogs and even giant 65kg Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so my aim is to make their stay feel like a genuine home from home — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks and reassurance.

I listen well when it comes to a furry individual's specific needs and my approach is to let them decide how they want to interact with me. I've had experience in cat/dog sitting for neighbors many times. I've dog sat for a variety of dog breeds.

Later on my family got Scooby(Black Mouth Cur Great Dane mix), and Daisy(Pit Terrier mix). I currently have a flexible schedule during the day 6AM - 10PM (unless overnight stays are required). Let me know what time works best for your cat's meals/medication schedules. I offer a quiet loving home for my own cats, including toys, scratching pads, hiding spots, and plenty of loafing sites for them to choose from. I always try to make time to play with them each day so they stay sharp and healthy. They sleep every night in our bed and eat in the mornings and evenings. When we are away for a day, we use a food dispenser that is set on a timer. I prefer scheduling an initial meet and greet to discuss specific needs and give them a chance to become familiar with me. I am comfortable with administering medication, changing litter, and cleaning any accidents that may happen. I always take note of every special request for the pet/home and make sure to review everything with the pet owner.

“Katie is always absolutely fantastic while taking care of Bono during my work trips. She regularly shares lovely updates and photos from their walks, and it is clear that Bono thoroughly enjoys her company. Katie is extremely kind and reliable, and I could tell Bono felt comfortable and happy with her from the start. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him — highly recommended!”

I’m a dog walker, so my days are already centred around getting out with dogs and planning my schedule around their needs. I’m also passionate about dog training and actively train my own dog for PSA (Protection Sports Association) sport, so learning about dogs and developing my handling skills is a big part of my everyday life. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged through walks, play, enrichment and training, while also giving them plenty of time to relax. I take the safety and wellbeing of every dog in my care seriously. I have experience looking after dogs with different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, including energetic working dogs. I always take time to understand each dog’s routine, temperament and individual needs, and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a calm, secure and caring environment where dogs can feel comfortable and well looked after.
About: Hi, I’m Rosalind! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 25+ years of experience caring for dogs, from tiny puppies through to elderly dogs and even giant 65kg Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so my aim is to make their stay feel like a genuine home from home — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks and reassurance. Because I work from home, your dog will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. I can adapt my day to suit your dogs usual routine, including walks, meals, playtime and plenty of cuddles and naps! I’m also flexible at weekends and will always aim to keep your dog’s routine as familiar as possible. 🐾 I live in a quiet, non-smoking, child-free home with no resident pets, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. My home is spacious and just a 5-minute walk from the coast, giving us plenty of opportunities for safe, enjoyable walks while also having a calm home environment to return to.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils, so looking after animals has always been a big part of my life. I now have my own dog, Daisy! I have had Daisy since she was a tiny little puppy and she's now 2, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your pet. I’ll always treat every dog with the same care, patience and affection I’d want someone to give my own. I love getting outdoors for walks and I’m equally happy giving them plenty of playtime, attention and cuddles at home. Daisy is usually by my side and will join me on dog walks and sittings. She’s a very friendly, playful and confident Westie who loves being around both people and other dogs. She’s very sociable and loves making new furry friends! 🐶🐾 I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to get to know what makes them feel happy and comfortable. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting into my day. I’m available during weekdays as well as weekends and can often accommodate different times depending on you and your pet’s routine. I have my own dog, Daisy, so walks and spending time outdoors are already a big part of my everyday life! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routines and needs, including feeding, walks, any house rules and anything else you’d like me to know. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always respect your home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on! Daisy will usually be with me, so I’d always want to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable around other dogs first. She’s very friendly and sociable, but I know every dog is different and their safety and comfort will always come first 🐾
About: Caring, experienced sitter who treats your pets like family. I follow their routine and support training to keep them happy, relaxed, and loved while you're away. As a freelance video editor working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can work from anywhere at any time, which allows me to fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it's popping in for visits, staying overnight, or keeping your furry friend company throughout the day, I can easily adjust my workflow to provide attentive and consistent care, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I’m also quite active, so walking is already part of my daily routine and it’s always better with a four-legged friend by my side. I have experience managing multiple cat-sitting jobs at once and know how to balance my time to ensure each animal gets the attention they deserve. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual schedule and routines to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in your absence. I'm confident caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs, whether they require active playtime or a gentle, quiet presence. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in. It’s a meaningful part of my lifestyle and something that brings real joy to my day. Whether I’m staying in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I aim to provide care that is thoughtful, reliable, and tailored to your pet’s comfort. In a pet owner's home, I always respect your space and privacy, using only what is needed and ensuring everything is kept tidy and clean. I take pride in leaving things better than I found them. I follow all instructions carefully, as they help ensure your pet’s routine stays consistent and everyone has peace of mind. I’m happy to offer overnight stays, whether for a single night or several weeks, and have already done this for a number of cat-sitting clients. When pets stay in my own home, they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I live in a flat, but I provide regular walks and quick pee breaks as needed to make sure they are comfortable and content. Regardless of the setting, I believe pet care is about more than just feeding and walking. I spend real quality time with each pet, whether that is playtime, brushing, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence so they do not feel lonely. I send daily updates with photos or videos depending on your preference and am always happy to go the extra mile. That might include watering plants, taking out bins, collecting post, or even feeding a friendly hedgehog in your garden.
About: I have two dogs of my own and have looked after my friend’s dogs for long periods. Have trained two dachshund puppies from 8 weeks including crate training. I have even fostered an anxious dachshund, who became much more chilled and relaxed in my presence. I’m currently working from home and am able to look after your dogs whilst in my home, as I have two of my own. I am able to let them out for toilet breaks regularly and play/walk with them on my breaks. I have a high fenced garden and high fenced garden gate. The front door is not left open. Our home is minimalistic and clean with a big basket of toys
“Blaez is delighted to see Fern on her walking days. Fern is kind and considerate with Blaez's need to take her time. She has arthritis. I'm grateful for Fern turning out in the most horrible weather too!”
About: I have been a passionate animal lover since I was a kid, but due to my nomadic lifestyle having my own pet is currently not in the cards. But I would love to help you out however I can by taking care of your pet! Plenty of experience with smaller and medium sized dogs I work from home most days, and got a very flexible work schedule. Got time for several walk during the day and can also take the dog on site visits with the right type of dog I got a medium sized garden, and a car for walks further afield. I would be happy to take the dog for a run as well, if fitness is a priority

I'm also happy administering medication, should this ever be necessary. I live inbetween Reculver and Beltinge, with daily access to the calm, green spots that pets love.

I have a large, bright and calm home with a fenced garden and access to many ideal local amenities, including the walk to Reculver Towers.
“Drop off and collection was easy. Our English Springer Spaniel received plenty of exercise, enjoyed the company of Dexter’s own dog and returned home happily worn out! Will definitely book again in the future”
“Thomas has been absolutely fantastic! This was the first time our 5 year old Vizsla was away from us, as we were going away for 10 days. Thomas clearly loves dogs, is relaxed, confident and understood Ziggy perfectly. He took time for a pre-meet and spent time with him at our home, and Ziggy took to him instantly. The stay was perfect and he was wonderfully looked after. We will definitely repeat! Maximum stars!”
“Dean was fantastic with my 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Great communication - with updates, photos and videos throughout the stay. I'd definitely recommend Dean as a sitter. I think my dog had a great time and will be using Dean again ☺️”
“Jelena was absolutely marvelous!! She has a natural affinity with dogs and Lola had a lovely stay. She had lots of exercise and was very well looked after. Every day we received pictures of our happy girl having a wonderful time. Thanks again Jelena and see you next time!”

“We were delighted with Nina and Shep was very happy there. She took him for a long walk in Blean Woods and sent us lots of pics. When we arrived to pick him up they were in the garden together. We would be very happy to leave him there again. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent and exceeded my expectations! Sophie was a great company to Bella, kept me updated 24/7 and definitely put my mind to ease as it was the first time in 12 years when Bella wasn't iny company. I have only good words to describe the experience! Highly recommend!!!!”
