“Amazing! Lulu had another lovely stay at Elisa’s. Elisa was also able to assist us enormously with a problem that had developed with Lulu (she had suddenly become scared of walking on our laminated floor!). Problem now nearly fixed thanks to Elisa’s experience and patience.”
“This was Pippas first time away from home, but she settled nicely with Edward and the other dogs and will definitely be booking her in again for a longer stay this time. Thank you Edward.”
“Lizzie and her lovely family are everything you could hope for - kind, experienced, confident and also ready to follow normal routine. Our dog was instantly at ease and it was a stress free experience as we knew Tessa was safe, happy and well looked after. Great communication and lovely to get photos and updates too. I would recommend Lizzie without hesitation and will go back whenever we need a dog sitter.”
“We will definitely use Yevgeniia again. She sent a photo shortly after we dropped Jimmy off and he was relaxed and snoozing. She sent photo updates throughout Jimmy’s stay and answered any questions about arrangements quickly. Her dog is a placid gentle soul and he and Jimmy got along well.”
“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. 🥰”
“I wouldn't hesitate to leave Jimmy with Flora again. The service she offers is incredibly professional, from the meet and greet, to the introduction to her home and the pets and people in it. She asked all the right questions and I knew straight away that she'd provide a high level of care and I was right! She kept me updated with lots of photos and feedback and Jimmy came back very contented and relaxed. Thanks Flora!”
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own over the past 20 years, and have cared for them through every stage of life — from energetic puppies to elderly dogs needing extra patience and care. This hands-on experience has helped me understand different temperaments, routines, and individual needs. I’m also dog first aid qualified, giving extra reassurance that your pet will be in safe and capable hands. I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am fully available to spend 24/7 catering to your doggos needs. Your dog will be played with to their hearts desire, have lovely walks, constant fresh water, a couple of cheeky little treats, and as many photos and videos of your fur-baby as you like throughout the day. Pets in my care will be treated like part of the family in a safe, relaxed, and loving environment. I live in a static caravan with a secure, decent-sized decking area where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and choose to come and go freely while supervised. I also have a grass area for toilet breaks and playtime, along with plenty of lovely walks surrounding me, perfect for keeping dogs happy, exercised, and mentally stimulated. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for, whether in my home or in the owner’s home following their usual routine.
“Emily was so good with our dog Mako! She was super easy to communicate with as well and gave plenty of updates throughout the stay so we always knew Mako was in good hands. We'd absolutely love to book with Emily again 😊”
“Romina was amazing! If I could put more than 5 stars I would. Romina was so flexible with me with the dates and times as I was due to move and needed someone to look after my German Shepherd. My dog is nervous due to being a rescue and usually takes a while to warm up to someone but as soon as Romina welcomed us into their home, it was like she had been there already! Drop off was a smooth process although my dog knew I was leaving this time so got a bit anxious, but within 30mins I got a message and photo showing me how at ease and happy she was. Romina kept me updated with messages and photos during the duration which kept my mind at ease. Could not have wished for a better dog sitter for my Luna! All positives so thank you Romina!”
“Absolutely brilliant. Kept in contact at all times. Happy to do a meet and greet before plus George seemed happy and answered any questions I had to put our minds at ease as a family”

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.

I understand that every dog is different and will always follow their individual needs, routines, and preferences. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while in my care. I work from home, so I'm around during the day and can be flexible to fit around your dog's routine. I have a garden and walk my Golden Retriever, Leo, in the morning, on my lunch break, and again in the evening. Whether your dog enjoys lots of exercise or prefers a quieter pace, I'm happy to work around their needs. We have a secure garden, with a fence. A baby gate, a crate too, so dogs can be separated to make sure they get enough sleep throughout the day. We have a friendly dog called Leo, who knows when to play and when to settle.

About: I’ve had cats all my life and look after my daughter’s cat when she is away. As I do not have animals at the moment my next best way of having loving cuddles from animals is to look after other people’s. This way I can have the love of an animal and I can give love back for another who has to leave theirs for holidays etc.
About: I’ve helped neighbours and friends care for their cats through drop-in visits and daily check-ins. I’m comfortable feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, and spending time playing with them to help them feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I always try to be patient, gentle, and respectful of their space. While I’m still growing my experience with advanced care, I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow detailed care instructions.
About: I've taken car of cats since I was 13 and I begged my mum for my own cat (Hope, a beautiful tabby that live to 16). Throughout my adult life I've looked after many of my friends and family cats while they go on holiday (including one home with 5 cats). The cat above is my beautiful Belle who I looked after during lockdown (and miss very much).
“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: Every booking will get a digital drawing of their dog! 🐶 I’ve trained and looked after mainly dog for 12 years from Chihuahua X Pappilons, Cockerpoos, Jack Russell X Border Terrier and currently my Golden Retriever! Each of these dogs I’ve had from a puppy and have trained them and brought them up alongside college and full time work. I’ve also looked after dogs of an older age with issues such as blindness, arthritis and incontinence which I grew knowledgeable on through vet visits and personal research. I’m currently available full time to board, visit or walk your pets! Available from 7:30am until 19:30pm. I have a full driving license so am able to pick up and drop off when required. I have a fully fence off back garden with a patio area and lawn along side. I have my very own Golden Retriever who is extremely friendly and loves other dogs so will always keep your fur baby company! I’m located infront of a beautiful woodland area perfect for long walks and adventures!

About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I was 6. Family and friends have often relied on me to take care of their dogs. I myself am a dog owner and know how much they mean to us. I am currently not doing any other work and have plenty of time to take care of your dogs. I am basically free any time and day. I have a fenced back yard with good space, as well as I have a friendly puppy my self which can make company to your dog, which if needed I can also keep apart. Large parks and fields at walking distance when I can also go for a walk with your dog.
“Tanvi was very professional liaising all the time, before and during her drop-in home visit with photos to ease my worries. My 6yr old Cockapoo Teddy is very anxious and not good with strangers, but he gelled well with Tanvi. The afternoon was a success and I am confident to leave Teddy in her capable hands for another visit really soon. I would highly recommend Tanvi to any dog owners with similar worries about leaving their dog.”

About: I love cats, and have had two cats as an adult. They are so sweet and will be safe with me! I have a large double room and a safe animal friendly house that your cat can chill in while you are away.
About: I have my own 10yo ragdoll cat whom I co-parent. That leaves me with free time to look after other cats for friends and family. I've had cats and dogs since age 3 and have looked after pets with high needs, including medical conditions requiring medication or anxiety issues requiring careful handling and socialisation. I've got an eye for detail and always respect pet's routines, pet parents instructions and any vet indications. I'm affectionate and caring and pride myself in being reliable and trustworthy. I'm an NHS worker, so I like to care for others including pets and can work remotely to spend quality time with pets.

“Elisa has been amazing with Rosie. Rosie loved her time with her and the family. I was kept updated with regular photos which was lovely. Elisa has been so accommodating and would definitely recommend. Thank you so much”
“Flora and her family were so welcoming to Casper. They have such a homely vibe and took so much care of my pup. They made me feel really relaxed having to be away from him and were super prepared with toys and treats. Their dogs are super friendly and they really help socialise Casper to be one of the crew which was wonderful.”

“Romina lives very close to me so that is a huge bonus. We had an initial meet up mostly to see if our dogs would get on. Sparky(mine) & Buddy (hers) were shall I say a work in progress!! Today I left Sparky at Romina’s home for 3 hours and I am delighted to say all went well. Romina is patient and kind and has a good empathy with dogs she sent me photos which were reassuring as Sparky can be a tad anxious. I’m really happy and have now booked a further 5 sittings. The booking system is a little bit difficult to navigate especially if you are making multiple bookings but hopefully it’s going to work out For us☺️🐾”
“Alice and family were excellent with my Sprocker, after the first day she was quite happy to let herself in and get settled. Alice sent through loads of pictures and completed her ‘card’ everyday. Would definitely use again!”
“Thank you so much to Owen and family for taking such good care of Pippin. Even after just one meet and greet, Pippin was so happy for her booked visit that she ran straight into the house and immediately made herself at home! After the booking she was very relaxed and content. Would 100% book again.”
About: I believe dogs deserve more than just quick walks and feeding -they deserve real companionship, fun, and lots of love. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get plenty of quality time, long walks, and exciting little adventures. I love taking dogs out to parks, nature trails, and even beach trips whenever possible, so they can explore, sniff, and enjoy their day instead of sitting at home bored. I’m patient, affectionate, and genuinely enjoy bonding with each dog’s personality. I am interested in dog psychology and behaviour patterns, and love learning new things about dogs every day Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a golden retriever and a husband who are great helpers, so your pets get lots of attention. I work from home, and my schedule is flexible, so I’m present and available for most of the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent care, companionship, and regular walks without them being left alone for long periods. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I also have a friendly, well-socialised Golden Retriever who loves the company of other dogs and helps visiting pups feel relaxed and at home. Each day includes proper morning and afternoon walks, playtime, and lots of quality time together. I love taking dogs to local parks, nature trails, and green spaces so they get both exercise and enrichment.
“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.”
“So grateful to Emily for all that she did for Orwell. He had a good time and I know that Emily would have shown him some real love. Very happy to meet a few days before the sitting, which is always a plus. Will definitely use Emily again.”
“We had a great experience with Hepzi, and so did our dog Sumo! She was very understanding of her reactivity & anxiety - and took it all on board whilst caring for our girl. Sumo had a great walk and a relaxing stay cuddling on the sofa. I would definitely recommend contacting Hepzi if you're looking for someone who clearly loves dogs, to look after yours too. Sumo will definitely be back!”

I really love looking after your furry family member, as if they are part of my own family :)🐾🐕🐶🐱🐕🦮🐕🦺🐈🐈⬛🐾🌿🌱 I’m a student and only do 2 hours a week currently. I’m also working from home as an artist, so this fits into my routine perfectly! I will regularly be walking in the woods and the beautiful parks in Canterbury by the river. I have a fenced garden, and I live right next to a lovely park and have woods nearby, so dogs can easily go out to use the toilet and will get regular walks. Cats have a litter tray in my large double bedroom and will have full run of the large house.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and my mum has ran a dog shelter for as long as I can remember in which I have been actively involved in caring for them. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, temperaments, and needs, and I’m very comfortable handling daily care, routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. Alongside my university studies, I have a very manageable timetable, which allows me to take on dog sitting responsibilities and provide attentive and reliable care. When caring for pets, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding times, walks, medication if needed, and specified rules. I also make sure the home is left tidy and that pets feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own over the past 20 years, and have cared for them through every stage of life — from energetic puppies to elderly dogs needing extra patience and care. This hands-on experience has helped me understand different temperaments, routines, and individual needs. I’m also dog first aid qualified, giving extra reassurance that your pet will be in safe and capable hands. I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am fully available to spend 24/7 catering to your doggos needs. Your dog will be played with to their hearts desire, have lovely walks, constant fresh water, a couple of cheeky little treats, and as many photos and videos of your fur-baby as you like throughout the day. Pets in my care will be treated like part of the family in a safe, relaxed, and loving environment. I live in a static caravan with a secure, decent-sized decking area where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and choose to come and go freely while supervised. I also have a grass area for toilet breaks and playtime, along with plenty of lovely walks surrounding me, perfect for keeping dogs happy, exercised, and mentally stimulated. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for, whether in my home or in the owner’s home following their usual routine.

“This was Pippas first time away from home, but she settled nicely with Edward and the other dogs and will definitely be booking her in again for a longer stay this time. Thank you Edward.”
“Lizzie and her lovely family are everything you could hope for - kind, experienced, confident and also ready to follow normal routine. Our dog was instantly at ease and it was a stress free experience as we knew Tessa was safe, happy and well looked after. Great communication and lovely to get photos and updates too. I would recommend Lizzie without hesitation and will go back whenever we need a dog sitter.”
“We will definitely use Yevgeniia again. She sent a photo shortly after we dropped Jimmy off and he was relaxed and snoozing. She sent photo updates throughout Jimmy’s stay and answered any questions about arrangements quickly. Her dog is a placid gentle soul and he and Jimmy got along well.”
“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. 🥰”
“I wouldn't hesitate to leave Jimmy with Flora again. The service she offers is incredibly professional, from the meet and greet, to the introduction to her home and the pets and people in it. She asked all the right questions and I knew straight away that she'd provide a high level of care and I was right! She kept me updated with lots of photos and feedback and Jimmy came back very contented and relaxed. Thanks Flora!”
“Emily was so good with our dog Mako! She was super easy to communicate with as well and gave plenty of updates throughout the stay so we always knew Mako was in good hands. We'd absolutely love to book with Emily again 😊”
“Romina was amazing! If I could put more than 5 stars I would. Romina was so flexible with me with the dates and times as I was due to move and needed someone to look after my German Shepherd. My dog is nervous due to being a rescue and usually takes a while to warm up to someone but as soon as Romina welcomed us into their home, it was like she had been there already! Drop off was a smooth process although my dog knew I was leaving this time so got a bit anxious, but within 30mins I got a message and photo showing me how at ease and happy she was. Romina kept me updated with messages and photos during the duration which kept my mind at ease. Could not have wished for a better dog sitter for my Luna! All positives so thank you Romina!”
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 been 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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have a Golden Retriever called Leo, so I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from puppies and adolescent dogs to senior dogs. Through attending training classes with Leo, I’ve learned positive training techniques and am happy to continue any training or routines you’re already working on with your dog. I understand that every dog is different and will always follow their individual needs, routines, and preferences. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while in my care. I work from home, so I'm around during the day and can be flexible to fit around your dog's routine. I have a garden and walk my Golden Retriever, Leo, in the morning, on my lunch break, and again in the evening. Whether your dog enjoys lots of exercise or prefers a quieter pace, I'm happy to work around their needs. We have a secure garden, with a fence. A baby gate, a crate too, so dogs can be separated to make sure they get enough sleep throughout the day. We have a friendly dog called Leo, who knows when to play and when to settle.
