“Lisa was really kind with our dog, he is a senior dog with mobility problems and she carried him in and out of garden, gave him his medication as prescribed and looked after him with affection and kindness, nothing was too much trouble, she sent photos to reassure us. Would highly recommend.”
“Wan Jeong was absolutely amazing with Marley during her two-week stay, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She took initiative when faced with unexpected situations and showed incredible understanding throughout. Wan Jeong was kind, generous, and thoughtful, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Marley’s wellbeing. Marley was truly pampered and treated like part of the family. Wan Jeong kept me well updated, which gave me complete peace of mind, and Marley came home relaxed, happy, and settled. I’m extremely grateful for everything Wan Jeong did and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional and loving care for their dog.”

“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.

She kept me updated throughout, which gave me real peace of mind, and it was clear Marley was having a lovely time going on walks and playing at home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — Marley came back happy and relaxed. I’d definitely recommend Lucinda to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

“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!”

Felt very reassured as Alex gave us daily updates and our home was just as we’d left it too when we came back. Our cat is super calm thanks to the cat music Alex found too - would definitely recommend, thank you so much!”

Klara sent daily updates with photos and took great care of both our cat and our home, I would definitely book Klara again and would highly recommend! ”
“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: 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 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.

About: Hi, I’m James. My wife Heather and I love animals and having both grown up living with an array of pets, dogs, cats, birds (ducks&chickens, budgies) Lizards and tortoises. All companions are loved and admired. Resultantly, 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. We had our own girl (Ellie, as seen in the pictures) unfortunately illness took her so we no other animals at home. So your furry friends will have our undivided attention. Heather, is home all day and we have access to a garden.

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.

About: Hello! I am a caring animal lover with many years of experience looking after friends' and neighbours' dogs in my free time, and my own cats over the years as well. 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 also offer doggy day care (just 1 dog at a time, unless the dogs belong to the same family) or an overnight stay if you're away - preferably at your property as me and my partner have a cat (she's ok with calm dogs that don't bark much, but scared of louder dogs). I'm used to looking after small and medium dogs, but if you have a large dog do get in touch as I'm happy to make an exception depending on the breed (eg. 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. I can do drop in visits to feed & play with your cat, and I can also stay at your place overnight to watch your cat while you're away. If you have any questions, just message me! I have a flexible schedule working from home, so I'm available to walk your dog in the morning/lunchtime/early evening and generally keep company during the day. I live in a 2 bed house and have a fenced garden. In terms of surroundings, I'm 5 min walk from Tankerton beach, where I can take your dog for a lovely seaside walk.

About: I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and genuinely enjoy providing the combination of exercise, enrichment, and calm companionship that helps pets feel settled while you’re away. I have particular experience with rescue dogs, including former street rescues, and with terrier breeds ranging from Airedales to Patterdales, but love pets of all shapes and sizes. I understand that some pets need a little extra patience, structure, or confidence, and I’m comfortable working with individual quirks, behavioural needs, and reinforcing existing training routines. Alongside dogs, I’m also experienced caring for cats in their own homes and am happy managing multi-pet households with different routines and personalities. My approach is always to meet each animal where they are, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and secure in their familiar environment. Whether your pet needs long walks and playtime or simply consistent, reassuring care, I aim to provide a reliable and calm presence so both you and your pets can feel completely at ease. I'm available for pet sitting or boarding 6 days per week all day and overnight. I'm also available for shorter walks throughout the day on weekdays and long walks on weekends. In your home I can provide care 24/7 with frequent toilet breaks and walks that align with your pets needs. Also happy to work on training, play or snuggle up on the sofa whatever your pet likes to do! If you are boarding your pet at mine I have a fully fenced garden and one friendly medium/small dog. We are a child free household and me and my partner live here.

About: Hi, I’m an experienced and reliable dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life. Because of this, I have a good understanding of dog behaviour and how to make dogs feel comfortable and safe. For the past three years, I have provided weekly walks for three dogs belonging to the same owner, and have also pet sat for them on multiple occasions. Caring for these different breeds has given me experience with a range of personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m confident handling dogs and always make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to adapt to their usual routine and any specific requirements they may have.

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
About: I've taken care of pets throughout childhood (we owned two cats) and have been around dogs for a similar amount of time. My extended family always had dogs, from Jack Russell's and Cockapoos to Labradors. I loved them all and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. I'm home most of the time, occasionally I have to be away in London. I would be able to travel local to Whitstable / Herne Bay and care for your dog as needed (walks or daycare). Or alternatively I can offer daycare at my home. There is a large garden at the back that dogs love to explore! I'm often in the back patio working so I can keep and eye on them. There are no other pets here so they will have all the space (and attention...) I know a few good walking spots in the local area. If there is a preferred route or grounds you'd like me to take your dog, please let me know.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and adore them all. I live in Herne Bay with my partner, so we'll both be available to care for your pet! I'm currently studying accounting, and my partner works part-time as a taxi driver and studies personal training, so there'll always be one, if not both, of us available for you and your pet! We live in a flat - while it's without a garden, we're a 2-minute walk from a large park. As for caring for pets in an owner's home, we are both very tidy and respectful.
“Suzie has been walking Dolly for a few months now and I cannot recommended Suzie highly enough. Dolly loves her. Suzie is very conscientious, always on time, any problems she lets you know straightaway.”
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.

“Lisa was really kind with our dog, he is a senior dog with mobility problems and she carried him in and out of garden, gave him his medication as prescribed and looked after him with affection and kindness, nothing was too much trouble, she sent photos to reassure us. Would highly recommend.”
“We had a night's stay for our 12 year boarder terrier as a test to see if she would be happy staying , it was a great success, everything went well , Sophie is very accomadating and our Bonnie settled in well and seemed very content , Sophie kept intouch to tell us how she was getting on , so it's a great relief to know are dog will be happy staying with Sophie.”
“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!) 🤣”
“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. 🥰”
“Pepper and Caspers first stay with Dean and they had a great time it was brilliant to get the frequent updates through as it was their first time staying with someone they didn’t know!”
About: I grew up in a household full of animals - dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and even rats - I've always been surrounded by pets. I absolutely love dogs and care for every pup as if it is my own. I am an outdoorsy person, who loves going out for walks, whatever the weather. Growing up in the countryside I spent a lot of time outside with our dogs. I have cared for dogs of every size from a miniature Shih Poo to an energetic German Pointer - I am happy to look after your pet however big or small! I am more than happy to look after young puppies and ensure consistency with training, or elderly dogs, and will always follow instructions to a t! Whether it is pet sitting or dog walking, you can trust me to give the best care and keep you in the loop with photos and updates! I work from home every day, so your dog will never be left alone ❤️🐶 I have an indoor ragdoll cat, Baby Blue Moon, and get so anxious leaving him with other people, so I really understand the importance of leaving your pet in trusted hands. I work from home and can offer flexible care for your pets throughout the week and weekends. Feel free to contact me with last minute bookings! I will always care for pets as if they are my own. I will give them walks and exercise, play and affection according to their needs. I have a fenced garden and live close to a large green park for dog walks. I am vigilant with feeding routines, changing water and administering medication (orally) as required.
“What an amazing dog sitter. Maxwell had a wonderful time (photos to prove it!) and has come home and promptly fallen asleep in his bed, exhausted from all the fun ?”
“Lizzy and her family are lovely and welcoming Lola had a great stay, was extremely well look after. I highly recommend Lizzy and her family for anyone that is in need of dog care. I will only ever go to lizzy in for future dog care. Thank you x”
“Sangeeta is great! Very kind, responsive, and welcoming. We had a meet and greet before booking the stay, which was lovely since the pups were familiar with her and her house when it came time for their vacation. We received lots of pictures and videos and could tell our babies were well taken care of while we are gone. Would definitely book again.”
“Katrina provided a fabulous mini holiday for my dog Flo. She obviously loves dogs and was very caring both to Flo and myself. She sent me regular updates during Flo's stay and was very keen to know what Flo needed and her routine etc. making me feel secure in the knowledge that she was being taking care of. She is a lovely person and I would highly recommend her to look after any dog.”
“Just picked up Lola after a 5 day stay with Natalia. This was her second stay and again she was a very happy girl. She had 3 walks a day and loved to play ball. Natalia kept us updated and frequently sent pictures that were very reassuring. Next time Lola will have a longer stay. Highly recommended.”
“Amanda did a great job looking after our 8 month old puppy. When we arrived she was warm, calm and professional which gave us total confidence Otto was in safe hands. Otto clearly had a lovely time! We would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone.”
“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.”
“Jelena, Was an excellent sitter, she was in contact everyday with pictures of Minoko and updates on activities. He was very calm and happy when I picked him up. Great service”
“We had a fantastic experience with Kayleigh and would highly recommend her. Before we even booked, she took time out of her day to answer questions so we could see if we were a good fit. I was really anxious about leaving our pups but Kayleigh was just so kind & thoughtful. We could tell she really knew and understood dog behaviours and what they would need. During the stay, we got regular updates and tons of gorgeous photos, which showed the amount of care and attention that had gone into not just our pups visit, but to reassure us too. We will definitely be using Kayleigh again, from the photos we could see our pups were settled and chilled which is worth its weight in gold!”
About: I am very in tune with animals naturally understanding their needs . I am very strong so can handle large breeds as well as smaller breeds . My feminine, maternal side means that the animals feel loved and important, which I feel is needed when they are away from the owners . I’m open , honest and understand the need for communication whilst your pet is in my care . I have a large car , I am flexible and enjoy all aspects of caring for animals. I am looking to give my love to dogs this summer after loosing my soul dog . I am self employed and was going to reduce my summer hours to spend time in nature with animals and feeling free . My youngest is about to drive and my eldest has left home so I am experiencing a whole new chapter of life . We have a fenced garden. We are a 7 minute walk to the beach . A 5 minute walk to a big memorial park . I will like to dog sit in new places too . In the country , woods , by the sea . It needs to be nature if possible. I am extremely clean and always consider others .
“Tara took such good care of Albert and he clearly loved her.🐾 Albert is an excitable puppy and had a potty accident over his stay, Tara was very understanding. I would recommend her as sitter. Albert's already booked in for his next stay with her.”
“My dog, Rocket needed some last minute boarding as our usual sitter was unavailability. Sarah is definitely a great find. Welcoming, flexible, good communication, dog lover and a dog painter. Rocket loved his stay... Highly recommended! Thanks, Sarah!”
