“Albert was so excited when he arrived at Charlie’s house for his recent stay. He knew where he was going and ran straight to the door. He had a fantastic time playing with Charlie’s dog and enjoying cuddles with the family. I received regular photos and updates meaning I could relax knowing he was happy. I would highly recommend.”
“We left our dog Kiwi with Natasha and her family, and she was looked after extremely well and the pictures sent highlighted exactly that. I would highly recommend, and am extremely grateful for the care of our dog.”
“Sophie did a fantastic job looking after Lucy! She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated throughout. Lucy was clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I returned. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Sophie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Absolutely recommend Georgette for your doggy dare care services. Georgette has a lovely aura and listened attentively to my dog’s needs. The house is lovely and clean with a cared for garden for dogs to explore. Will definitely be using Georgette again.”
“Denitsa was brilliant with our lovely and lively teenager Finn - great communication and some brilliant videos and photos sent during his stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“This was Lottie's first stay with Stephen. She settled down really well. Stephen took her on lots of nice long walks and gave her lots of cuddles. Lottie is still a young Cockerpoo so has a tendency to be a bit lively but Stephen wasn't at all phased. He kept us updated twice a day with a message, including photos and videos. We have booked Stephen again for Lottie in June.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Albert. We didnt have to worry about him knowing he was in safe hands. Debbie was very welcoming and im sure Albert had a great time. Thanks again x”
“Daisy looked after my Blu boy, got daily updates on how he was and his behaviour, with pictures, he’s really enjoyed himself and was looked after with such care, made me feel really happy that someone could look after and love my boy as much as me! Thankyou so much! 100% would recommend daisy as a sitter! She did a fabulous job! Thankyou!🖤”
“Ray was so happy at Alicia’s house. He stayed for 10 days and I felt completely confident and reassured the whole time. Alicia sent daily updates and was flexible and understanding of his needs as an older dog. I’d really recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding. Thank you Alicia xx”
“My young staffy had a great seaside holiday with Tamara! I was kept updated during his visit and it clear he was looked after very well. He even made some new friends 🥰 I now have a very tired and content pup.”
About: Hi I’m Holly! I’ve worked in a veterinary practice for 2 years and worked with animals a few years before this, so I have experience in caring for all kinds of pets and their personalities! I’ve also looked after cats and dogs in their own homes, including administering medication when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with pets. I’m currently working full time, but I’ll happily dedicate my mornings, evenings and days off to giving your pets the care, attention they need. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable and well cared for, and I’ll be sure to keep you updated with lots of pics! I’m currently working full time but will have 1-3 days off per week depending on rota to devote to your pets as well as my working mornings and evenings ! Unfortunately I would not be able to accommodate your pet at my house, however I am more than happy to travel to and stay in your house if needed to ensure your pets have company and are staying in an environment they feel safe in.
“Fabien and Victoria were absolutely fantastic looking our two dogs. Kept us up to date with pictures and reports throughout. Thank you for taking such good care of our puppies”
“I honestly couldn't recommend Emma enough 😀 she looked after our lovely little cavapoo puppy Chase, who had a lovely time especially all the play time he got with gorgeous little olive ❤️ Emma made him feel so welcome and loved as if he was her own 🥰 we felt so relaxed knowing he was in good hands as emma keeps you updated and sends lots of pictures and video's which is amazing as we got to see all the fun he was having and all cuddles he was getting. Chase can be very fussy with his food and doesn't tend to eat much, you sort of have to feed him to get him to eat and Emma sat there and feed him a few times from her hand. She really is just incredible with dogs and we cannot thank her enough 😊 Highly Recommend, will definitely use Emma again as chase felt so comfortable, loved and well looked after ❤️”
About: We’re Maddie, Frankie and Cory – our 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. Between us, we’ve had dogs our whole lives and have experience with all sorts of breeds and personalities. Frankie has looked after everything from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to five German Shepherds, while Maddie grew up around Labradors, cats, donkeys, geese... and plenty more. We’ve also spent years looking after friends’ and family’s dogs and enjoy having them in our home. We’re based in Hythe in a semi-detached house with a fully secure outdoor space, and offer both day sitting and overnight stays. We both work from home full-time during the week, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of company throughout the day. We’re lucky to have lots of good walking spots nearby, from the canal and seafront to longer countryside walks a short drive away. We’re happy to adapt walks to whatever suits your dog, whether that’s a gentle stroll or something a bit more energetic. Cory is our resident host. He’s 8, very laid-back and generally more interested in finding a comfortable spot for a nap than causing any trouble. He’s friendly with other dogs but is also happy to give them space if that’s what they prefer. We know every dog has their own routine and personality, so we’ll take the time to understand what works for them and keep things as familiar as possible while they’re with us. We’re also happy to send regular photos and videos so you can see how they’re getting on. We both currently work from home, so we have plenty of flexibility to give your dog lots of attention and exercise throughout the day. We usually take our own dog for long walks before work, during lunch and again at the end of the day. We also regularly take our dog with us for coffees, lunches, dinners and the pub, so if your dog is friendly and comfortable in those settings, we're very happy to include them in our plans too. It can be hard leaving your dog with someone else, especially when they’re away from their usual home and routine. We know this from experience, so we always think about how we’d want our own dog to be treated. For us, it’s about creating a calm and relaxed environment, with plenty of opportunities for long naps in the sun by our bay window, as well as enriching walks along the canal and seafront. We have a fenced courtyard garden, so dogs can go outside whenever they need to, and a big, comfy sofa for settling down and watching TV in the evening. We also have plenty of space and are happy to accommodate a crate if that’s something your dog is used to and would help them feel more at home.
“Selma took time to get our rescued young GSD used to her by arranging two meet and greets. He was immediately relaxed in her home environment and with the calm energy Selma projects. Such a relief to find such a lovely lady to trust with our dog. Thank you!”
“I found Iva at the last minute before needing to go away. At the meet and greet the house was very clean and tidy. Iva is friendly, reliable and clearly someone who genuinely loves dogs. She sent regular photos updates and my dog Mauruce came home happy and settled, which says it all. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you Iva.”
“Thank you so much Lorna, we felt so comfortable leaving Clemmie with you. Lorna was great for Clem’s sit, we did a meet and greet walk beforehand and we instantly knew Clem would be in good hands. Clem needed to see the vet during her stay and Lorna took her for us and cared for her so attentively. We will 100% book again. Thanks for all the photos and Clemmie’s presents, we are very lucky we found you!”

“Debbie is amazing! I knew from the moment I met her that she would be great for our cat. First time we’ve left her and she’s eaten all her food and been around looking chilled. I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you & Rover for making our time away relaxing & worry free. 🩷”

I’ve had many pet owners rely on me for care services for some years now and looking forward to meeting new ones! I currently live in Hythe in a two bedroom with a garden and lots of lovely trail walks nearby for your dog to enjoy.

I take care of every animal as if they were my own and I am extremely proactive in my approach to caring for your pets.

“I picked Brenna because she lives locally, but have really lucked out. I adopted Suri - a retired racer geyground - two weeks ago and we are still establishing our rhythms. It is obvious Brenna has a huge amount of patience and love for dogs and I feel confident leaving Suri in her care. It’s been nice getting the updates through the Rover app on what they’ve been up to. It’s been nice seeing them bond with each visit. Would recommend Brenna 100%”
“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.”

With the beach 5 minutes walk away and a beautiful park 2 minutes away, there's plenty to explore in the local area. Caring for Pets in My Home: In my home, safety is paramount.

About: I have had 4 cats in my life. I currently have 1 cat, a British shorthair tabby who is 2. My other cats reached 17 years of age. I adore cats and generally all animals. I care deeply for animals and think I was put on this planet to look after them. They are little angels who deserve care, love, affection and a happy long life.
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 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: What sets me apart is the patience and calm care I give to every cat. I understand that many cats can be shy or cautious around new people, so I always move at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to handle feeding routines, playtime, and deep-cleaning litter trays so your cat stays happy and stress-free while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.
About: I’ve played a massive role in looking after my own dog which has been the family pet for 7 years now, I did all of his training when he was a puppy. I’ve also looked after someone else’s dog when I was in Brighton and took the dog for walks, as well as looking after her in her owners house and in my own home. I’m currently only working part time and usually work from home most Wednesdays. So my schedule is currently quite flexible to fit in and around caring for your pets! Looking after someone’s dog in their home I would make sure that the dog is well occupied and entertained by going on walks and lots of play time. And very respectful that I’m in someone else’s home. In my home I live opposite the beach so lots of walks and relaxing on my sofa!

“Highly recommend. 1st time using doggy day care and felt totally reassured from the moment i met them at the meet and greet. Buddy has had a fab day with Charlie, Molly n all and i got regular updates and photos throughout the day so i could stop worrying! Will definately use again.”
“Fabulous! A warm welcome for our dogs (&us). We cannot thank Daisy & Dan enough for helping us out at short notice, so that we could attend our Grandson’s Christening. The dogs clearly had a great time and we will be recommending them to family & friends. We also really loved meeting Tramp - gorgeous.”
About: Iv owned dogs for over 30 years and have had the honour to work with them for the past 16, I have experience with most breeds being a dog groomer and owned many myself over the years. I have fostered over 100 rescues in the past 4 years also and am experienced in nervous, elderly, young and dogs needed extra care. I can administer medication including injections if needed. I have worked in boarding kennels before and have been boarding dogs myself for the past 10 years in my own home, where all dogs are welcomed into my family and treated as one of my own. I own two grooming salons where any boarding dogs can come with me, where they can meet other dogs, be in my company all day and will only be left if I need to pop to the shops, dogs are my life! And I spend all day everyday caring for my own and everyone else’s! I have two fully fenced gardens with over 100ft to run around in, I have 6 small rescue dogs myself that your dog can meet and play with. The gardens are accessible all day every day during the summer and at regular intervals in the winter depending on the weather. They are all brilliant with other dogs and are used to different dogs staying in our home. All dogs are allowed on my furniture! I always say to visitors “find a spot the dogs arnt sitting on” I also have indoor gates used as extra safety to avoid any escapees!
“Bessie was well looked after by Lorna and her husband they took her for walks, gave her home made treats and even gave me a little bag at the end with more of the treats and some photos Thank you for taking such good care of my girl :)”
“Hugo’s second stay, now building up to his first overnight stay to build his confidence away from us even further. Steve is a very knowledgeable dog minder and Hugo is obviously comfortable around Steve.”
“We left our little Cocker Spaniel, Luca, for the day and she had a lovely time! Georgette was wonderful, everything was very easy and straightforward from start to finish, and we really appreciated receiving and update and photo during the day. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi, I’m Em! I live by the sea with my incredibly sweet and friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Olive. I can offer you the kind of care I provide my own dog - which is kind, patient, fun and responsible! I have completed a Canine Emergency Response course and carry a dog first aid kit with me when not at home, and have been able to help other people’s dogs in a crisis. I am calm, caring and vigilant. I will treat every dog as the wonderful unique characters they are, taking the time to get to know them and respecting their preferences. I am a good communicator and will be as flexible and helpful as I possibly can. I want you and your dog(s) to have a great experience so that they bound up to me in excitement - that’s what makes it worthwhile! I work from home most of the week and usually have quite a bit of flexibility to work around your needs… Weekends are also possible with notice! In front of my house is a big lovely park, and behind my house is the beach - a doggie heaven! Inside my house there are some stairs to get up (I can carry dogs under 10kg if needed) and then my house is free for the dogs to explore. I have it set up so there are no plants or items that can be chewed, and I have an abundance of dog beds and toys. The dogs are welcome on my sofas and beds as they wish, and I have a shower and bathtub with specialist dog products should they need a refresh! I have cooling fans and open the balcony doors in the summer, and in the winter I have heated blankets and heaters. There are high quality treats should they be allowed - but will follow any instructions for feeding carefully. I provide toilet breaks and walk my own dog 4 times a day (20+ mins a time) which is roughly every 5 hours, but I can adapt to another dogs routine if needed!
About: I have had pets all throughout my life growing up. I have owned dogs for over 19 years and am used to looking after pets - mainly dogs, but also chickens, horses and cats. I currently work part-time and in a role where I can be mainly based at home. I live in an old house surrounded by lovely gardens and three acres of fields. I am close to many country walks and St Mary’s Bay beach is only 10 minutes drive from me. All dogs, like us humans, are different. Some prefer to be left in peace and quiet and others like company, some are very energetic and others are less so. How I care for your dog is entirely dependent on their preferences. And I have enough space in my home for them to roam quite freely and the great outdoors with fenced fields are merely seconds from our back door. I have enough space in my home to have 3 extra dogs with their own room.
“Thank you so much Clara and your mum for looking after Winnie she had a brilliant time. We were visiting Hythe on the Easter break and I was so lucky to have Clara look after Winnie while we had a day out, so nice to know your dog is safe and happy. 100 percent recommend Clara’s services. Thanks so much !”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from hamsters to horses—and caring for them is second nature to me. I’m a passionate pet lover and proud pet parent to a friendly Labrador and a sweet, cuddly cat. Both are well-behaved, well socialised and great with other animals. I live in a pet-loving household with two young children who adore animals. While they won’t be involved in the care of your pet, they’ll be around to offer some supervised love and attention—perfect for pets who enjoy extra cuddles! Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of family and friends, and now I’m excited to welcome your furry companion into our home. I have experience with puppies and have personally trained my Labrador, attending puppy training and pet first aid courses to ensure I’m prepared for a variety of needs. Whether it’s a stay at our home or a daily walk, your pet will be treated like family. I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. Long walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of affection are all part of the package! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! I work from home a few days a week in the emergency services, and my husband works from home as well. So I’m home often and able to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have two wonderful children who absolutely adore animals, and while they won’t be involved in pet care, they love offering supervised affection and cuddles. I'm very active and enjoy both short and long walks with our Labrador, so your animals will get plenty of exercise and playtime. I'm well-prepared for all kinds of weather—rain or shine—and have a variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I have a spacious four-bedroom home with a fully fenced, large secure garden—perfect for safe outdoor play and exploration. Pets are welcome to make themselves fully at home here, with full access to the entire home. If your pet enjoys extra snuggles, they’re more than welcome on the bed for cozy cuddle time! The back door is usually open during the day, allowing pets the freedom to move between indoors and outdoors as they please.
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
About: I am exactly who I would want to leave my dog with or have my dog walked by as I put dogs in front of humans 😂 My small Munsterlander is 4 now and I’ve had her since a pup, we’ve recently moved back to the UK from Spain and I’m out with her on big ball playing walks 4/5 times per day as she is super active and I need the outside time too so I thought this would be perfect for me to get a bit of pocket money and be around my favourite animals at the same time. I have trained my girl since a pup and understand all aspects of dog training and how they operate in general so I’m happy to have dogs off the lead although at the same time happy to walk them on a long lead :) Walking wise I’ll have mine with me and she’s off the lead running chasing the ball in the local fields etc so any dog can join in and we’ll have a great time if you want me to have your dog overnight I’ll make it so they don’t even want to come back to you which is exactly what I would expect and hope for if I was to leave my baby! How will I do that? 🤔 I’ll make sure they have the best walks ever so we’re all chilled for cozy cuddle time and I’ll cook up something meaty for them super nutritional and make sure they sleep right next to me by the bed :) I actually do nothing all day everyday apart from look after my best mate (Maddie in my photo) since I’ve moved back here to the UK I find myself out 4/5 times per day with my dog so would be the exact same to look after another doggy :) There is no escape as we’re in a flat so no safety concerns in that sense this also encourages me even more to make sure once my doggy has chilled for a couple hours we’re back outside playing again as there isn’t a garden.
About: Hello! I’m Tamara, a passionate dog lover from Ukraine. I dedicate myself fully to pet care, ensuring your furry friend will never feel lonely and will always have a full day of fun activities! Pet care isn’t just a side hobby for me—it is my full-time, 24/7 commitment. My entire day revolves completely around the happiness, safety, and routine of the dogs in my care. This is my second profile on the platform. My original account has 61 verified reviews and 8 repeat clients, but due to a recent Rover interface update, it stopped appearing directly in the search results. However, that profile is still fully active! I can easily send you the link to check my reviews, and I can still reply to messages there if you contact me through it. I created this new profile to ensure owners can find me easily in search.
“I've never felt so at ease so fast with people looking after our lovely friendly Elsie. The love and care is so visible across all our messages, in person interactions and the lovely photos Bethany shared of Elsie spending the day at their home. Elsie was, unsurprisingly, livid at me taking her home. I look forward to Elsie's future visits ❤️”
About: Hi there! My husband and I, both aged 33, both love animals and have had cats in the past. We’ve also been cat and dog sitting for friends and family as well as through Rover on an ad-hoc basis for years. We both have clean DBS checks which I can share if required. I also have a CPD Level 4 Diploma in animal care. I would love to help my neighbours with your pet sitting needs!
About: I currently have two ginger cats and a male miniature daschund who is neutered so well experienced and really care for all animals whether mine or not. Any animal staying in my house is classed as my own pet during the duration but must be dog friendly. I have a large garden and the beach at the end of my road I work from home 90% of the time. If I do need to go into the office my partner can cover the hours I’m not here. I have a fenced garden, loads of large fields around my house, I currently have two 5 year old cats (so dogs must be cat friendly) and I have a miniature daschund who is currently just over one year old, very friendly cat safe and friendly towards other dogs.

About: I have always had a dog in the household so they are a huge pet of my life but after recently losing our two family dogs, I would love to spend my free time in the company of other dogs to fill the missing gap of not having a pet around. I am very active myself and as I live in the countryside with a large garden as well as being near the beach, there are many places I could walk the dogs and keep them entertained. I am currently completing my last year of A levels and working part time but I mostly have free evenings and weekends that I’d like to fill with dog care in my own home. We have a fully fenced garden safe for all dogs and are surrounded by plenty of fields where they can be kept on the lead or let off if able to. The driveway has a gate that is kept shut and the front garden is also fenced off from the road.
“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: Hello! I have over six years of experience working with animals and grew up with two dogs, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I recently moved back from New York, where I looked after three dogs part-time alongside my acting career. I'm reliable, nurturing, and absolutely adore animals. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. work from home with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I also work as a performer, so much of my work involves auditions and self-taping from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive care and regular updates to pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's routine as closely as possible. In a pet owner's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages. I also respect the owner's home and leave everything clean and tidy. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and preferences.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and have had both cats and dogs since I was born. I have cared for my own 2 cats for the past 5 years. I’m a caring, responsible, and reliable person who genuinely loves animals and understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’d be happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and cuddles, while making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently training in dance on Saturdays and every other Sunday in London. This makes me completely flexible Monday to Friday for any pet care needs. Depending on the pets needs, I’m able to adapt how the day runs. In my own experience, I’ve had cats with different health conditions which I’ve catered for. Getting to know the pet always helps you see how to make them the most comfortable
About: I have grown up around cats and dogs, and had 2 cats and 2 dogs as an adult. 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 played a massive role in looking after my own dog which has been the family pet for 7 years now, I did all of his training when he was a puppy. I’ve also looked after someone else’s dog when I was in Brighton and took the dog for walks, as well as looking after her in her owners house and in my own home. I’m currently only working part time and usually work from home most Wednesdays. So my schedule is currently quite flexible to fit in and around caring for your pets! Looking after someone’s dog in their home I would make sure that the dog is well occupied and entertained by going on walks and lots of play time. And very respectful that I’m in someone else’s home. In my home I live opposite the beach so lots of walks and relaxing on my sofa!

“Albert was so excited when he arrived at Charlie’s house for his recent stay. He knew where he was going and ran straight to the door. He had a fantastic time playing with Charlie’s dog and enjoying cuddles with the family. I received regular photos and updates meaning I could relax knowing he was happy. I would highly recommend.”

“Denitsa was brilliant with our lovely and lively teenager Finn - great communication and some brilliant videos and photos sent during his stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“This was Lottie's first stay with Stephen. She settled down really well. Stephen took her on lots of nice long walks and gave her lots of cuddles. Lottie is still a young Cockerpoo so has a tendency to be a bit lively but Stephen wasn't at all phased. He kept us updated twice a day with a message, including photos and videos. We have booked Stephen again for Lottie in June.”
“Daisy looked after my Blu boy, got daily updates on how he was and his behaviour, with pictures, he’s really enjoyed himself and was looked after with such care, made me feel really happy that someone could look after and love my boy as much as me! Thankyou so much! 100% would recommend daisy as a sitter! She did a fabulous job! Thankyou!🖤”
“Ray was so happy at Alicia’s house. He stayed for 10 days and I felt completely confident and reassured the whole time. Alicia sent daily updates and was flexible and understanding of his needs as an older dog. I’d really recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding. Thank you Alicia xx”
“My young staffy had a great seaside holiday with Tamara! I was kept updated during his visit and it clear he was looked after very well. He even made some new friends 🥰 I now have a very tired and content pup.”

“Fabien and Victoria were absolutely fantastic looking our two dogs. Kept us up to date with pictures and reports throughout. Thank you for taking such good care of our puppies”

“Thank you so much Lorna, we felt so comfortable leaving Clemmie with you. Lorna was great for Clem’s sit, we did a meet and greet walk beforehand and we instantly knew Clem would be in good hands. Clem needed to see the vet during her stay and Lorna took her for us and cared for her so attentively. We will 100% book again. Thanks for all the photos and Clemmie’s presents, we are very lucky we found you!”
“Bethany & Chad were outstanding with our two pets! Right from the moment we did our meet & greet, we knew they would take such good care of our dog & cat which they absolutely did. Beyond the exceptional care they took, it was evident they genuinely enjoyed their time with the pets & that made us so happy. From the photos & videos to the sweetest gesture of Christmas presents for both pets, we cannot say enough wonderful things about Bethany & Chad. Our sincerest & heartfelt thank you for taking such good care of them, we are beyond grateful.”
“We contacted Abby at extremely late notice for care for our dog, Penny, owing to plans having fallen through. Abbey coordinated a meet to ensure Penny was comfortable and confirmed she could look after Penny for us. Whilst away, Abbey communicated regularly, giving us updates of Penny. She really looked after her, Penny has clearly had a great time and I’d absolutely return to Abbey if we ever find ourselves needing care cover again. Thank you so much.”
“Ricky and gang looked after Emmy (small blue Staffy) this week. Ricky was great with communication and both his dogs were great with our’s. Emmy likes to play and can also be very chilled and Ricky’s dogs were perfect energy and also not too much as it was a new environment for our’s. We were wanting someone that had other dogs so our’s had some company when we were away and they got on like a house on fire. Emmy was sad to leave so looking forward to the next booking / hangout time. Massive thanks you to Ricky and the gang.”
