“Just picked up my dog Eddie from Edward and what a wonderful couple him and his wife are. Eddie has had a great time he was so well looked after it was the perfect home from home. So much so we have already booked them for our summer holiday. He kept in touch the whole time we were away with photos and videos. I cannot recommend him enough”
“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.”
“I was looking for a place where my spaniel would feel as if she was at a home from home I had to leave her for a night over the Christmas holiday period. Lizzie and her family fitted the brief perfectly; they were welcoming and relaxed and immediately made me feel that Molly would be fine with them. Lizzie sent me pictures of how she was settling in over the period and set my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate in using Lizzie again, or recommending her to anyone I know who has a dog and needs a trustworthy sitter.”
“Toffee, our 12 yr old Golden, stayed with Yevgeniia and Ringo, her own lovely retriever, for four days while we took a short trip away. Toffee had a couple of medical issues that needed dealing with (slight incontinence and a ‘hot spot’) both requiring medication and close management. Yevgeniia has been looking after dogs from a young age, and her experience shows! She was very thorough in managing Toffee’s issues: by the time we picked Toffee up, her wound had greatly healed and she had not required a diaper for the most of the stay. Yevgeniia sent daily photos, videos and updates, including very funny reports on the on - off romance between Toffee and Ringo! Toffee came home her usual happy self, and I was glad she had a ‘home from home’ experience, with the added opportunity to socialise with the very gentle Ringo! I highly recommend Yevgeniia and will would not hesitate to book Toffee with her again, and am already planning to use Yevgeniia’s day care service when required. A very big thank you to Yevgeniia from Toffee and I, for the the diligent care you have shown during her stay!”
“We would highly recommend Flora! She looked after our 5 month old puppy brilliantly for his first night away! She was very friendly, extremely trustworthy and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout - we’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: We’re a dog-loving couple (Harry and Megan) who have both grown up with dogs and really miss having them around! Between us, we’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes from Great Danes and Neapolitan Mastiffs to Jack Russells and miniature poodles, so we’re very comfortable around dogs with different personalities, energy levels and needs. We don’t currently have pets of our own because we love travelling and exploring when we get the chance, but when we’re home we’d love to be able to give that time and attention to someone else’s dog instead. My boyfriend works from home full-time and I work from home most of the week, only travelling into London around 1–2 days, so there is always someone at home and plenty of opportunity for company, attention and toilet breaks throughout the day. We have a spacious, secure garden with no hazards, and lots of room to play and run around, and we live close to the countryside with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. We’re also very happy taking dogs on longer walks and adventures if that’s what they enjoy! We know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, so our aim is to make them feel as settled, loved and at home as possible while they’re with us. Our routine is very flexible, which makes pet sitting fit in really naturally with our day to day life. My boyfriend, Harry works from home full time and I work from home most of the week, so we’re able to offer plenty of company throughout the day as well as morning, lunchtime and evening walks. On a typical weekday, we’d usually start with a morning walk before work, often heading to our local country park or one of the countryside routes nearby. Because we both have flexible working hours, we can also fit in lunchtime walks, garden breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day, followed by another walk in the evening if that suits the dog’s usual routine. We do go to a very local gym around three evenings a week, so ideally a dog staying with us would be comfortable being left for around 1–1.5 hours. However, if they’re not happy being left alone, we can easily work around that and go to the gym separately instead. We’re also very happy to look after dogs at weekends. We love getting outdoors, exploring new places and going for walks, so if a dog enjoys travelling in the car, we’d be more than happy to take them along on little adventures with us. It’s also useful for us to know how they are in dog-friendly cafés, pubs and other public places, as we’re quite social and would love to include them in daytime plans where it suits their personality. If that isn’t their thing, that’s absolutely fine too, we’d simply plan our day around what they enjoy and are used to! We have a three-bedroom home over two floors with a large, fully fenced rectangular back garden, so there’s plenty of room for a dog to make themselves at home. The garden is easy to keep an eye on from the house and there are no escape points. We’d be happy for them to have access throughout the house, as long as they’re toilet trained and not destructive. When the weather is nice, we usually have the back doors open so they can come in and out as they please. If it’s raining or cold, one of us is always around to let them out whenever they need. We keep towels and blankets downstairs too, so wet or muddy paws are never a problem after walks or time outside. Dogs are very welcome on the sofa with us and we have blankets they can sit on. We wouldn’t have them sleeping on the bed, but if they’re used to sleeping near people, we’d be happy for them to sleep in our bedroom on their own bed or on blankets on the floor. We also have a dedicated area for food and water, and already keep a few basics at home for when we look after friends and families dogs, such as poo bags, a few toys, a lead and treats. We’d always stick to whatever food, treats and routine their owner provides though, and wouldn’t give them anything new without checking first. More than anything, we’d want them to feel relaxed, included and treated as part of the household while they’re with us.
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs from a very young age. My family and I rescue dogs and cats. I’m caring, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making dogs feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, energetic dogs, and senior pets, including keeping to feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I’m also patient with young dogs who are still learning basic manners and training. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I will be the only one caring for any dogs while in my care. As I’m currently not working, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This means I can be available for walks, visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to be flexible around your dog’s usual routine and give them the attention and care they need. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm and secure environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of your home and your instructions, and I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own.
“Romina is an absolutely lovely person, so smiley and friendly and completely set my dog and myself at ease. My rescue dog Emmy stayed with her and her husband and dog Buddy for three nights and was so well looked after. Emmy was a little nervous about going for a walk at first and Romina was very sensitive about this and handled it very well - by day two Emmy was walking happily and enjoying cuddles and belly rubs! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Romina to look after Emmy again and would recommend her to any fellow Rover users without hesitation.”
“Mandy and her family were fantastic! Really welcoming and accommodating of both our dog and our needs during the meet and greet and drop off/collection. Would highly recommend and will be looking to request Mandy’s services again next time.”
“I can not praise Hepzibah enough. She looked after our 2 boys brilliantly while me and my now husband got married. We were constantly kept updated with photos of the boys. She collected them and dropped them to use for ease on our wedding day. 100% will be booking again.”
About: **Please message me as the fees are not set and Rover doesn't allow me to change some of them. Every dog and it's needs and its pawrents situations are different so costs can differ!** 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 😊”
“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.”
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.
About: I am from the north east of England where I live in a small town surrounded by countryside (before spending 16 years in London and moving to Kent in 2020). I love animals, in particular dogs. From when I was born I grew up around cats and dogs we had in the family, rabbits too and other animals on my aunties farm horses, cows, sheep and chickens. My auntie was also a dog trainer and attended crufts. I work in Mental Health and animals are a huge part of the family. They also help to reduce any stress, live in the moment and make us smile. I also have a pet first aid qualification. I am mainly available Friday (8am) to Sunday (10pm) for day care and/or over night. Depending on the time of the year and my work I may be available for other days/longer stays. My home is firstly my dogs home. He is allowed on the sofa and has access to a secure garden. There are no dangerous wires or objects which could cause injury.
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 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.
“Pilar was amazing beginning to end! Communication was fast and clear at all times, and she took great care of Charlie. She is punctual, polite, calm, approachable and very friendly. Charlie liked Pilar immediately and we rested assured he was safe and taken care of in her hands. We recently moved to the area and Charlie is recovering from a surgery so Pilar was cat stting for us for the first time and we were a bit nervous, but it went great and we will definitely call upon Pilar in the future.”
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).
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.
“Fern is a great Cat sitter! Our timid cat was easy with her, we had videos and updates throughout.. we were very confident that our Cats got the best care.. would use Fern again without question :)”
“Kathryn looked after our two ragdoll cats Rory and Lola for a week while we were away on holiday. She provided daily updates and photos on how they were doing and we felt relaxed knowing that they were in safe hands. We would highly recommend Kathryn and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks Kathryn ☺️”
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.
“Shenika was a fantastic cat sitter. Great communication throughout and always gave us videos and pictures of our boy at every sit. Clouse absolutely loved spending time with Shenika and we really appreciated the time spend with him and did everything we asked of her, and more. She followed all our instructions. Will definitely book her again. ”
About: I have had cats all of my life and I love their sassy, loving nature. My cat is called Socks (because his white feet make him look like he’s wearing socks all the time haha). I love that cats all have their own personalities and understand the importance of caring for each cat in a way that works for them and you. Any pet in my care will be treated as my own, and I’d be happy to provide regular updates throughout. I always offer a free meet and greet before confirming any bookings so we can have the chance to discuss your pets care in detail.
“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 am a professional and caring pet carer with 20 years of experience in animal care services, from cats to horses!

“Edward took Ted at short notice which was really helpful for me. Ted was excited when I dropped him off and had a lovely day. Had photos and an update during the day. Would definitely recommend.”
“Flora always does an incredible job looking after our puppy, Enzo. She always has enriching plans like fun walks and sniffs and he comes back really happy after a day with her. Flora is really trustworthy and friendly as is our go to if we ever need someone to look after him. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their dog!”

“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’ve taken care of dogs from a very young age. My family and I rescue dogs and cats. I’m caring, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making dogs feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

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.
“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.”
“Cannot recommend Hepzi enough. She’s been really great looking after our young pup for a couple of days. Super friendly, reliable, and receptive and understanding of the needs of a young dog. Asks all the right questions and is so responsive when messaging and I can tell you she has gone above and beyond in their care of our pup. Hepzi, Pippin is missing you already!!”
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’ve always had dogs in my life and truly believe that no home is complete without a dog! I absolutely love dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I already love going for long walks, whether that’s around the local parks, out and about, or trips to the beach, and I’d love the opportunity to have some four-legged company along the way. I’m also happy to provide plenty of playtime, cuddles and attention depending on each dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s happiness, safety and wellbeing would always be my priority. I’ll make sure they have regular toilet breaks, access to fresh water and plenty of attention throughout their time with me. I’m also more than happy to follow any specific routines, instructions or preferences you have, as I understand that every dog is different. I’m reliable, caring and attentive, and I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet lots of lovely new four-legged friends! 🐶❤️
“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.”
“Romina is a warm hearted lovely person, and Milo took to her immediately. I have never seen him settle down and run around and play, as quickly as he did with her. Of course, I can't not mention the awesome Buddy, who Milo also took to almost immediately, and before you knew they were running around like old friends. I will always want Romina to have Milo if I go away, and I would check dates with her before booking time away, as I would book them around her availability. I'd say staying there was even better than being with me for Milo, as he had a friend to zoom around with, and Romina was a very safe pair of hands to leave him in ♡♡♡”
“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!”

About: **Please message me as the fees are not set and Rover doesn't allow me to change some of them. Every dog and it's needs and its pawrents situations are different so costs can differ!** 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.
“Abbie was amazing with ava. Abbie understood she was nervous with new people and made her feel very comfortable and took her time to get to know her before the walk. Ava was very happy and tired out after her long walk around the park. Hightly recommend abbie she is very friendly and wonderful with animals. Can tell she really cares and your pet will be in great hands.”

About: I grew up in a busy household with a Border Collie mix and a Jack Russell, so I’m no stranger to high energy and big personalities!

“Just picked up my dog Eddie from Edward and what a wonderful couple him and his wife are. Eddie has had a great time he was so well looked after it was the perfect home from home. So much so we have already booked them for our summer holiday. He kept in touch the whole time we were away with photos and videos. I cannot recommend him enough”
“I was looking for a place where my spaniel would feel as if she was at a home from home I had to leave her for a night over the Christmas holiday period. Lizzie and her family fitted the brief perfectly; they were welcoming and relaxed and immediately made me feel that Molly would be fine with them. Lizzie sent me pictures of how she was settling in over the period and set my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate in using Lizzie again, or recommending her to anyone I know who has a dog and needs a trustworthy sitter.”
“Toffee, our 12 yr old Golden, stayed with Yevgeniia and Ringo, her own lovely retriever, for four days while we took a short trip away. Toffee had a couple of medical issues that needed dealing with (slight incontinence and a ‘hot spot’) both requiring medication and close management. Yevgeniia has been looking after dogs from a young age, and her experience shows! She was very thorough in managing Toffee’s issues: by the time we picked Toffee up, her wound had greatly healed and she had not required a diaper for the most of the stay. Yevgeniia sent daily photos, videos and updates, including very funny reports on the on - off romance between Toffee and Ringo! Toffee came home her usual happy self, and I was glad she had a ‘home from home’ experience, with the added opportunity to socialise with the very gentle Ringo! I highly recommend Yevgeniia and will would not hesitate to book Toffee with her again, and am already planning to use Yevgeniia’s day care service when required. A very big thank you to Yevgeniia from Toffee and I, for the the diligent care you have shown during her stay!”
“We would highly recommend Flora! She looked after our 5 month old puppy brilliantly for his first night away! She was very friendly, extremely trustworthy and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout - we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“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. 🥰”

“Romina is an absolutely lovely person, so smiley and friendly and completely set my dog and myself at ease. My rescue dog Emmy stayed with her and her husband and dog Buddy for three nights and was so well looked after. Emmy was a little nervous about going for a walk at first and Romina was very sensitive about this and handled it very well - by day two Emmy was walking happily and enjoying cuddles and belly rubs! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Romina to look after Emmy again and would recommend her to any fellow Rover users without hesitation.”
“I can not praise Hepzibah enough. She looked after our 2 boys brilliantly while me and my now husband got married. We were constantly kept updated with photos of the boys. She collected them and dropped them to use for ease on our wedding day. 100% will be booking again.”
“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 😊”
