“Barbara was just brilliant with Florence. We met beforehand and Flo and Benji got on so well. I was thrilled with the whole experience and will have no reservations about using Barbara again in the future. Can't recommend enough.”
“Toots was made very welcome. It was incredibly hot in the UK and she was kept cool and happy. Visited the beach too! Charly kept us updated regularly which gave us full peace of mind that all was well. Couldn’t wish for a better arrangement.”
About: Hi, I'm Abbey. Around 10 years ago, I ran a successful home dog boarding business (for 7 years), caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I absolutely loved welcoming dogs into my home and giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment while their owners were away and I'm excited to be opening my home to dogs again. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I can't imagine a home without one. I've owned dogs for many years and understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your beloved pet when you're away. My goal is to provide a genuine home-from-home experience where your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I know every dog is unique, so I take the time to understand their individual needs, routines and personalities to help them feel relaxed and comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog! As I already have an 11 yo Hungarian Vizsla, and my mum's 10 yo Chihuahua lives next door, pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I work from home providing part‑time admin support for an animal osteopathy business, so I’m around most of the time and able to give dogs plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My husband often works from home too, which means there is almost always someone present and dogs are never left for long periods. Every morning starts with a good walk, whatever the weather, to help burn off energy and set a calm tone for the day. Dogs are allowed quiet time to chill / relax and are let out regularly. When the weather allows I keep the doors open to the secure garden so they can wander in and out freely. I also have a large 4x4 suitable for safe dog transport when needed. The routine is steady, predictable and designed to help dogs feel relaxed, included and well cared for. The safety and wellbeing of the doggy guests is always top of the priority list. My home has a large, securely fenced garden where dogs can play and explore. For transparency, there is a fish pond in the garden and dogs are supervised when outside. Indoors, I spend most of my day in our spacious kitchen‑diner, which provides a clean, comfortable and relaxed environment for dogs to settle in. I treat every guest as one of our own pets and aim to make their stay feel like a home‑from‑home. I ask owners to bring their dog’s own bed or crate so they have a familiar, cosy place to sleep. I am happy to follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, rest periods and daily walks, with plenty of extra exercise in the garden. I am responsible, reliable and experienced with dogs, having had dogs all my life, and having previously run a home boarding business for 7 years. I pride myself on offering a safe, caring, loving and reassuring environment for every pet that stays.
“Thank you so much to Julie for taking our little boy at such short notice!! We can’t recommend Julie enough. We are also sitters on Rover and as such, tend to have high expectations. Julie went above and beyond, her home is totally safe and ideal for dogs, she was also keeping us fully updated with pictures. Spud was very settled with Julie and felt at home. We will definitely be back!”
About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring dog lover with personal experience owning and looking after dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, relaxing at home, or simply having someone around for company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I only recently lost my own dog and have decided to try pet sitting for a while before I consider getting another of my own. I currently work full-time from home but have plenty of time for walks and play. I would relish the company. I can also work remotely at your house. I have a long fenced and secure garden. I also back onto a field where there are lovely walking paths. If I am sitting at your home I will be happy to follow your routine.
About: Hi! My name is Lauren and (along with my partner) I absolutely love dogs 💗🐾 I've been around dogs of all breeds since I was young, and have been dogsitting for family and friends for over 10 years. I've looked after everything from Dobermans to Labradoodles! I also really enjoy pet training, and have taught many family dogs basic commands. I currently have my own lovely Dachshund, who absolutely loves the company of others doggies. 🥰 I work part time and my partner works from home, so there is almost always someone at the house! Our routine always includes some training, lots of playtime, time in the garden and walks when needed! We live next to a lovely park for nice long walks. I have a fenced, secure garden with lots of space for your furbaby to run around! I have a dog flap so they can easily come in and out of the garden without waiting for someone, but we often leave the back door open too. Dogs are allowed everywhere in our house, and we have lots of cozy beds around. We also have a crate and a metal pen, if your dog prefers a separate space for sleeping.
“Roz could not have taken greater care of Duke. From the moment we dropped Duke off, he was treated as part of the family. We always felt he was in safe hands. And the regular photos Roz shared clearly showed Duke was having a whale of a time. I can’t recommend Roz highly enough. And neither can Duke.”
“Ringo had another wonderful stay with Laura and her family. He’s welcomed like an old friend by Laura and her lovely dog Albie. He was walked early and late to avoid extreme heat. Regular pupdates with photos too. Thanks so much Laura 😃”
About: I understand that caring for animals means exercise and interaction, as well as a feeling of security. I can promise all three at my Maidstone home. I have a hybrid role, meaning I'm typically at home three days a week. My wife works part-time hours and returns home around 2pm each day. We have two sons, one is away at uni, the other is going into Year 11. However, the only people in my home who will be caring for animal visitors will be myself with assistance from my wife Dorota. We have a fenced garden and a number of lovely walks near Tovil, just a few minutes from our doorstep. I have transport too so can visit your home to check/feed/walk your cat or dog.
“Ania looked after Roxy wonderfully, with great walks and playing with other dogs. She’s kept me well up to date and ensured that Roxy would be happy with an introduction to her dog before she stayed with them.”
“Charlotte and Ben did a fantastic job of looking after our dog with the help of their lovely 3 children. They treated her like one of the family and we had lots of updates and photos to keep us in the loop of her activities during her stay. We will be back thank you. ?”
“Our dog Flo had a lovely time with Alicia and her dog staying for a week while we were on holiday. We were provided with regular updates and pictures and I think our dog would have happily stayed longer. Highly recommended and we will use again. Thank you.”
“Thaisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. We had pictures and messages letting us know how and what she had been up to. Absolutely amazing, if we need dog sitting again we would definitely try and send her to Thaisa”
“Our pup Spud had a lovely time with Zoe! Zoe was great with communicating with us both before and during Spud's stay and we loved receiving pictures of him looking so happy! We knew Spud was in very safe and caring hands. We would highly recommend Zoe and will be contacting her about future visits!”
“Sabby had a great time at Megans and was very happy when I came to pick her up. Megan provided plenty of photos and gladly snuggled with Sabby whenever she wanted it.”

About: A little about me 🐾 My name is Annabelle, and I’ve lived in Headcorn, Kent, for the past 16 years with my family. I love animals, especially cats! I enjoy spending time with my family and our two beautiful Ragdoll cats, Freddie and Lulu. Over the years, I’ve really enjoyed looking after my own cats, as well as friends’ and family’s cats and pets. Now that I have more spare time, I’d love the opportunity to look after other people’s cats more often. I understand how important it is to leave your cat(s) with someone you trust when you’re going away, as this has always been a worry for me too. I absolutely love going on holiday, but I hate leaving my cats behind! I will do my very best to look after your cat(s) in the way they are used to, making sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send photos and updates if you wish. When I visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water and maintain their usual routines. I’ll empty and clean their litter trays and keep things fresh and tidy. I’m very happy to chat to them, play with them, give them lots of fuss, or brush them if they enjoy it. I love that every cat has their own unique personality and their own likes and dislikes, and I look forward to getting to know each one and finding out what they enjoy most. I’m kind, reliable and tidy, and I’m very happy to meet you before booking so you can tell me all about your cat(s), their personality and any individual requirements. I look forward to meeting you and your cats 🐾
“Gemma was great. Our 6 month old kitten warmed to her straight away after the initial pre-sit meeting. Updates throughout our time away were great. No issues whatsoever and came back to a very happy kitty! ”
“Emily is a superb cat sitter - very punctual, responsible and most importantly cat loving and caring:) We certainly could see from the pictures how relaxed and happy our cat was feeling in Emily’s care. And upon return we found him in a purrfect mood & health. Very satisfied and grateful for the service provided”
“Amy was amazing! Came over to meet us and our dog before the session which was lovely, she was so accommodating and send us lovely updates! Will definitely use Amy again, thank you so much! xx”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was five years old, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From an early age, I regularly looked after family and friends’ pets, which naturally developed into a real passion for providing quality, dependable pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work from home full-time, which means I’m able to provide attentive, round-the-clock care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping your dog company, I’m always nearby to ensure they feel safe and settled. On the rare occasions when I need to step out, my partner Tee — who also works from home — is available to step in, so your pet is never left unattended. Together, we make sure every dog in our care receives constant supervision, comfort, and companionship. caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and familiar environment that mirrors their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special requirements consistent with what they’re used to, so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain the same level of care and attention — following the owner’s instructions carefully, keeping to established routines, and ensuring their surroundings stay tidy and secure. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
“Lizzie was lovely when she came to us for a meet and greet and then came and did a pop in visit just as we asked. She is really nice and confident with our yappy terrier and we will use her again.”
“Alicja was the best cat sitter I’ve ever seen before! I’ve never worked with anyone who provided such detailed updates before..She is very trustworthy, does her job thoroughly and with genuine care, and my cat loved her too. I definitely recommend her 💌”
About: Zoology and Animal Behaviour Degree, First Aid and DBS checked. Finding someone to care for your pet when you can't is always a worry, as a dog and cat owner myself I can thoroughly relate and I offer services tailored to you and your pets' routine. I have been caring for clients, friends and family's pets for over seven years now, this includes: dogs, cats, small furies and reptiles. Having historically worked in a animal rescue, I'm pretty certain I've seen it all, from caring and raising new-born pups to providing palliative care for special seniors, administering medications and dealing with reactivity. At the moment, I work part time for a charity and fill the rest of my time doing what I love, which includes a lot of dog related activities. I travel the UK to raise awareness of the vulnerable native dogs breeds in the UK and compete at Crufts annually both to show and take part in Discover Dogs, in addition to other kennel club schemes. I have often had dogs come to stay and they always thoroughly enjoy a trip to our family farm where they can run through acres of grass and woodland or take a paddle in the lake. I am completely flexible and happy to work around you and your pet's needs by adjusting my schedule to fit your pet's routine. My house is a calm environment, I like to tire dogs out on walks and with stimulation in the home to that they are happy and satisfied to minimise stress. I have fenced garden and offer supervised outdoor playtime or sunbathing (weather/heat permitting). We have set meal times and my dogs are fantastic at calming any nervous individuals with their happy-go-lucky attitudes and love having other dogs come to stay and walk with.

About: I have had dogs all my life and worked in a pet supply store - I currently have a chocolate lab and two jack russells so I am used to any size, any energy level and any temperament! I am currently in between jobs for a month so I am available on weekdays throughout the whole day. I am fit and active so happy to go on long walks if needed, also happy to play at home with your dog or just keep them company. I am very happy to accommodate the needs of any dog - just let me know if they prefer quiet company or if they want to be a lot more active.
About: I have raised and trained my spaniel, labrador and two children here at our family home in Marden. The dogs are well behaved and friendly! I’m my own boss and work from home, where my dogs always have company. We enjoy country walks locally, as well as trips in the campervan, to Bedgebury and Mote Park. My wife also works from home, so I can provide a dedicated service where necessary. In our home, dogs occupy the open-plan kitchen/diner/patio/garden area of the house, but are allowed into the lounge rooms in the evenings, to relax with the whole family. Our dogs sleep in the diner, with two cages (medium & large) available when security or separation is required.
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.

“A lovely person who makes my baby feel so safe and loved. In the past I’ve had a bad experience or two with my lab (Aspen) returning home after care not being herself and sad. With Megan she comes home relaxed and happy. When I drop Aspen off she runs to Megan’s house with a wagging tail. I’d recommend her to anyone but I don’t want to because she’s mine!!”
“Moose had the absolute best day with Nicola! He is so happy and absolutely finished from all the playing. Really appreciate the pics and updates throughout the day. Thank you Nicola for giving Moose a home away from home where I know he is cared for as much as we do.”

About: I have had dogs all my life and worked in a pet supply store - I currently have a chocolate lab and two jack russells so I am used to any size, any energy level and any temperament!

I am fit and active so happy to go on long walks if needed, also happy to play at home with your dog or just keep them company. I am very happy to accommodate the needs of any dog - just let me know if they prefer quiet company or if they want to be a lot more active.
About: I have had dogs within my family environment since a very young age. I have since had two rescue dogs of my own, one of which sadly passed 3 years ago.

My own dog is also crate trained so I have experience with this.

About: Hi, I'm Abbey. Around 10 years ago, I ran a successful home dog boarding business (for 7 years), caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I absolutely loved welcoming dogs into my home and giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment while their owners were away and I'm excited to be opening my home to dogs again. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I can't imagine a home without one. I've owned dogs for many years and understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your beloved pet when you're away. My goal is to provide a genuine home-from-home experience where your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I know every dog is unique, so I take the time to understand their individual needs, routines and personalities to help them feel relaxed and comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog! As I already have an 11 yo Hungarian Vizsla, and my mum's 10 yo Chihuahua lives next door, pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I work from home providing part‑time admin support for an animal osteopathy business, so I’m around most of the time and able to give dogs plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My husband often works from home too, which means there is almost always someone present and dogs are never left for long periods. Every morning starts with a good walk, whatever the weather, to help burn off energy and set a calm tone for the day. Dogs are allowed quiet time to chill / relax and are let out regularly. When the weather allows I keep the doors open to the secure garden so they can wander in and out freely. I also have a large 4x4 suitable for safe dog transport when needed. The routine is steady, predictable and designed to help dogs feel relaxed, included and well cared for. The safety and wellbeing of the doggy guests is always top of the priority list. My home has a large, securely fenced garden where dogs can play and explore. For transparency, there is a fish pond in the garden and dogs are supervised when outside. Indoors, I spend most of my day in our spacious kitchen‑diner, which provides a clean, comfortable and relaxed environment for dogs to settle in. I treat every guest as one of our own pets and aim to make their stay feel like a home‑from‑home. I ask owners to bring their dog’s own bed or crate so they have a familiar, cosy place to sleep. I am happy to follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, rest periods and daily walks, with plenty of extra exercise in the garden. I am responsible, reliable and experienced with dogs, having had dogs all my life, and having previously run a home boarding business for 7 years. I pride myself on offering a safe, caring, loving and reassuring environment for every pet that stays.
About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring dog lover with personal experience owning and looking after dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, relaxing at home, or simply having someone around for company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I only recently lost my own dog and have decided to try pet sitting for a while before I consider getting another of my own. I currently work full-time from home but have plenty of time for walks and play. I would relish the company. I can also work remotely at your house. I have a long fenced and secure garden. I also back onto a field where there are lovely walking paths. If I am sitting at your home I will be happy to follow your routine.
“Roz could not have taken greater care of Duke. From the moment we dropped Duke off, he was treated as part of the family. We always felt he was in safe hands. And the regular photos Roz shared clearly showed Duke was having a whale of a time. I can’t recommend Roz highly enough. And neither can Duke.”
“Ringo had another wonderful stay with Laura and her family. He’s welcomed like an old friend by Laura and her lovely dog Albie. He was walked early and late to avoid extreme heat. Regular pupdates with photos too. Thanks so much Laura 😃”
“Ania looked after Roxy wonderfully, with great walks and playing with other dogs. She’s kept me well up to date and ensured that Roxy would be happy with an introduction to her dog before she stayed with them.”
“Our dog Flo had a lovely time with Alicia and her dog staying for a week while we were on holiday. We were provided with regular updates and pictures and I think our dog would have happily stayed longer. Highly recommended and we will use again. Thank you.”
“Thaisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. We had pictures and messages letting us know how and what she had been up to. Absolutely amazing, if we need dog sitting again we would definitely try and send her to Thaisa”
“Sabby had a great time at Megans and was very happy when I came to pick her up. Megan provided plenty of photos and gladly snuggled with Sabby whenever she wanted it.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs in my life since I was very young - With experience of house sitting for village friends and close family and friends. I absolutely love getting to know each pet and their funny little personalities. I regularly dog sit for friends who go away for a period of time - I don’t currently have any pets that are living with me so any fur friends I care for have my full attention. I’m currently working 9 to 5 Mon - Fri but I am available most weekends starting from Friday evenings. I am also available to walk dogs or check in first thing in the morning before work and after work throughout the week. I work local to Marden so if there is a need for someone to check in on a pet around the area, I am free to do so. If needed, I can care for pets in my own home however, I do have limited space so I can only cater for small to medium sized dogs - I have a small court yard garden however there are miles of fields that surround me for long walks.
“This was the sixth time Mark has cared for Wilbur and they always have a fabulous time together. My go-to no 1 carer for Wilbur. He comes back well looked after, happy and normally very tired too, which for an energetic black lab is an accomplishment! I have complete peace of mind whilst we are away which is priceless!”
About: Zoology and Animal Behaviour Degree, First Aid and DBS checked. Finding someone to care for your pet when you can't is always a worry, as a dog and cat owner myself I can thoroughly relate and I offer services tailored to you and your pets' routine. I have been caring for clients, friends and family's pets for over seven years now, this includes: dogs, cats, small furies and reptiles. Having historically worked in a animal rescue, I'm pretty certain I've seen it all, from caring and raising new-born pups to providing palliative care for special seniors, administering medications and dealing with reactivity. At the moment, I work part time for a charity and fill the rest of my time doing what I love, which includes a lot of dog related activities. I travel the UK to raise awareness of the vulnerable native dogs breeds in the UK and compete at Crufts annually both to show and take part in Discover Dogs, in addition to other kennel club schemes. I have often had dogs come to stay and they always thoroughly enjoy a trip to our family farm where they can run through acres of grass and woodland or take a paddle in the lake. I am completely flexible and happy to work around you and your pet's needs by adjusting my schedule to fit your pet's routine. My house is a calm environment, I like to tire dogs out on walks and with stimulation in the home to that they are happy and satisfied to minimise stress. I have fenced garden and offer supervised outdoor playtime or sunbathing (weather/heat permitting). We have set meal times and my dogs are fantastic at calming any nervous individuals with their happy-go-lucky attitudes and love having other dogs come to stay and walk with. In any emergency our vets is just down the road.
About: I’ve been described as Dr Doolittle since I was a child, I love all animals and luckily they always seem to like me too! I have experience pet and house sitting. I would love a dog of my own (we had a family dog for 15 years who I adored), but I’m not able to have one at the moment, so I’d love to pour my love of animals into some dog sitting and walking. I work full time during the week in an office, working for a local charity. I’d like to pet sit and walk on the weekends, when I can give a dog my full attention and love! When at home, the garden is fully secure and dog safe. I’m lucky to be surrounded with beautiful fields for walks and I have dog walking fields (secure) nearby I could also take a dog to. I’d love to be a home from home for your pup, where they can come for a fun day or weekend and have an absolute blast & lots of love. I have a fenced garden, no children live at the property and we have no other pets. We live in a safe area away from the main road, but we have a secure gate either way.
“Lizzie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She went above and beyond by meeting with us a few weeks beforehand to make sure my dog got along well with her and her dogs, which really put my mind at ease. During the stay, Lizzie treated my dog like one of her own and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would 100% recommend Lizzie to anyone and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I offer a safe, happy, and attentive environment for your dog, whether it’s for walks, day visits, or overnight stays. As a current pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family - with plenty of affection, exercise, and individual attention to keep tails wagging and owners reassured. I work full time Monday to Friday and am fortunate to be able to bring my dog with me, meaning plenty of company, daily walks, and regular play throughout the day.

I am also happy to crate dogs if required, ensuring I can follow your pets usual routine and preferences.
