“Can't thank Barabara and Frank enough for how well they looked after my dogs (Cilla and Frank) while I moved house. Cilla has some food allergies and needs medication twice a day for a thyroid problem but Barbara and Frank took it all in their stride. Barbara sent me regular updates about how they were getting on; they were humerous and always relevant to Cilla and Frank not just generic one liners. The dogs were very relaxed when I collected them so I would have no hesitation in recommending Barbara and I will definitely be asking her to look after Cilla and Frank again.”
“Mark looked after my 2 dogs for 2 weeks. They had a great time plenty of love and walks. Mark kept me regularly updated with messages and videos. Mark is a true animal lover and my two dogs had a great time. Would highly recommend Mark to look after your loved pets.”
“Prior to Teddy's boarding we met with Anna for a dog walk with her dog Bianka so that both owners and dogs could meet and be comfortable with the boarding. A few days later we left Teddy for an overnight stay. Anna was really good with Teddy as he began barking as soon as he arrived. She was able to calm him by talking and playing with him. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day which really helped us to feel better about leaving him. She gave us a full report of his behavior and what he'd been up to when we collected him too. Overall a really good experience for Teddy as well as for us.”
“Due to an unexpected accident Margot had to stay with Julie for a couple of extra days and I feel soooooo lucky it was with Julie! She loved Margot and made her feel very at home with her and her family. She sent lots of photos of the adventures they had together and I will be definitely booking her again!”
“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.”
“Really pleased with the care provided, kept in contact, sent plenty of pictures so I could see how my boy was getting on, really friendly and will definitely be rebooking in future, great service”
“Rocky had an amazing time with Laura and her family. The videos during his stay were awesome and reassured me what a fabulous time he was having in very safe and caring hands”
“Charly was absolutely amazing with our dachshund Cannoli. She provided us with updates, pictures and videos at least once a day, and we could tell Noli was thoroughly enjoying her time and was very comfortable! Charly was great with communication leading up to the booking making it easier for us to organise meet ups and exchange information. Cannoli will definitely be back soon 🥰”
“Thank you Charlotte and family for looking after Buddy. He made himself right at home! He is used to plenty of exercise and lots of cuddles and playtime and he certainly received all of these! Regular updates and photos reassured us Bud was having the best time.”
“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.”
“Zoe was absolutely brilliant with Winnie. We had a great meet and greet before the stay and she asked lots of questions about Winnie and how best to look after her so before the stay even started we were confident that she was going to take great care of Winnie. Once we’d dropped Winnie off we got lots of updates about how she was doing and in every photo she looked incredibly relaxed and happy. We would definitely book a stay with Zoe again!”
“Gareth looked after our 8 year GSD for 10 days, and I would thoroughly recommend him. Gareth's communication and response time were excellent, he looked after Martha beautifully and she was clearly very happy there. He sent pictures and updates throughout the time and made everything very easy, I was completely at ease leaving Martha with him.”
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.
About: Taken care of neighbours dogs and cats before, being trained in dog first aid is important to me as I want to be prepared for any eventuality. I work full-time, but I have every weekend off as well as one day a week working from home, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have an 8-year-old Dalmatian called Monty, who I share with my dad. Monty usually stays at my home with me and my partner at weekends. He is a much-loved part of the family and is very used to being around people and having a relaxed home environment. If your dog or cat is not comfortable around other dogs, please don’t worry. Monty can stay elsewhere while your pet is staying with us, so they can have the home and attention they need without feeling stressed or unsettled. Your pet’s comfort and wellbeing will always come first. ☺️ My partner, Dean, who you can see in some of the other photos, will also be around and will help me care for your beloved pets. We both love animals and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and, just as importantly, lots of time to relax and feel at home. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time in a safe environment. Our back door is kept securely locked, giving us extra peace of mind when pets are in our care. We’re also lucky to have plenty of lovely fields and walking routes nearby, which are perfect for longer walks and giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and get plenty of exercise. 🐾💕 We want every pet staying with us to feel safe, comfortable and at home, with a good balance of exercise, play, relaxation and lots of love.
“Lucy was absolutely brilliant with Coco and left me feeling so relaxed and worry-free when Coco stayed with her. Lucy is naturally experienced with little dogs and knew exactly how to be with Coco - and Coco instantly warmed to her. She gave her lots of love and affection; has a beautiful and dog-friendly home; and kept me updated with pictures. I highly recommend Lucy.”
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.

“Thank you so much Lucy for looking after Lyla so well whilst we were away so nice to see the pics and read the note that all was well. Lyla seemed so relaxed and took to Lucy right from the start. I would use Lucy again if needed so professional and calm brilliant with our girlie. Thanks a million Lucy x”
“We were really pleased with the care our cat received. Gemma was able to help us out at short notice (due to a cancellation), arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand, and kept us updated with messages and photos. It was very reassuring to know our cat was in good hands. We'd happily recommend Gemma and would definitely use her again.”
“Hannah clearly loves and cares about cats. She sent me photos of how my cats were doing and even the very nervous one seemed fairly relaxed about her, at least at tea time lol. Both cats were happy and relaxed when I came home from my mini break. Thanks Hannah xx”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs (chickens, rabbits, wallabies, birds...you name it, we had them at some point in the family home). I've also had several cats of my own over the years so I have good experience in taking care of them.
“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”
“Alicja looked after our cat Eno for 2 weeks while we were on holiday. She was an excellent sitter - kind, caring and communicative. She was able to give our cat the eye drops he needed (not always easy!) and stayed to give him lots of affection. She is friendly, personable and reliable. I highly recommend Alicja.”
“Lizzie did a wonderful job checking in on my cats. Her updates also helped me to not worry as much as I usually would so I was able to enjoy my travels. I could rest easy knowing my furry companions were fed, medicated and cared for. Thanks, Lizzie!”
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 🐾
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.

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.

Our dogs sleep in the diner, with two cages (medium & large) available when security or separation is required.

About: I have grown up caring for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family whilst they are away since I was 16. I’m a caring, patient and responsible person who understands that every pet has their own personality, needs and routines. I also have experience with rescue dogs, having owned two rescue dogs myself. One of them was incredibly nervous and needed a lot of patience, reassurance and understanding to help them feel safe and comfortable. This taught me how important it is to take things at an individual pace, particularly with anxious or nervous dogs, and never to rush them. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, enjoys a relaxed stroll, or simply needs some company and cuddles while you’re away, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I am available Monday to Sunday at all hours so your pets have my full time and attention they need! I’m flexible with my routine and can adapt to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, toilet breaks or simply keeping them company. I understand that sticking to a pet’s usual routine can help them feel comfortable and settled, particularly when their owners are away. I’m also happy to spend extra time with pets who may be nervous or need a little more patience and reassurance. I have a fenced garden and no other pets in my home so if your pet does not like other animals this is a safe space for them. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind and see how your pet is getting on while you’re away.

I’m a firm believer that pets are family. Whether it’s a long walk in the woods or a quiet evening on the sofa, life is just better with a furry companion by your side. I am home with my furbabies enjoying walks and cuddles everyday. I offer quality care in my home for boarding dogs, and doggy visits. We treat every dog as one of the family. Our two friendly spaniels love to play in our big secure garden and explore the countryside around us. They enjoy meeting new friends and welcoming them into our home.

“Mark looked after my 2 dogs for 2 weeks. They had a great time plenty of love and walks. Mark kept me regularly updated with messages and videos. Mark is a true animal lover and my two dogs had a great time. Would highly recommend Mark to look after your loved pets.”
“Prior to Teddy's boarding we met with Anna for a dog walk with her dog Bianka so that both owners and dogs could meet and be comfortable with the boarding. A few days later we left Teddy for an overnight stay. Anna was really good with Teddy as he began barking as soon as he arrived. She was able to calm him by talking and playing with him. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day which really helped us to feel better about leaving him. She gave us a full report of his behavior and what he'd been up to when we collected him too. Overall a really good experience for Teddy as well as for us.”
“Due to an unexpected accident Margot had to stay with Julie for a couple of extra days and I feel soooooo lucky it was with Julie! She loved Margot and made her feel very at home with her and her family. She sent lots of photos of the adventures they had together and I will be definitely booking her again!”
“Lily was exhausted from.having fun with the other doggies and obviously had a great time. Thanks Megan for looking after her so well and the daily pics and updates. See you again soon!”
“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.”
“Really pleased with the care provided, kept in contact, sent plenty of pictures so I could see how my boy was getting on, really friendly and will definitely be rebooking in future, great service”
“Rocky had an amazing time with Laura and her family. The videos during his stay were awesome and reassured me what a fabulous time he was having in very safe and caring hands”
“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.”
“Rebecca is absolutely amazing. She sat my Bertie for the first time for a day including an overnight. He had a fantastic time and clearly enjoyed himself. He was a contented and worn out pup by the end! I was well informed with photo and video updates. Rebecca is fantastic and I will certainly book her again with no hesitation”
“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.”
“Robert & his partner provided a wonderful boarding home for my 2 dogs for 2 nights and 3 days - they obviously love dogs and judging from the numerous videos and photos I received, the dogs had a great time - long country walks, playing in the river, and lots of attention back home. My 2 dogs are not particularly well trained but I felt they were safe & sound with Robert, it was great having someone who could manage bigger dogs. Would definitely use Robert again.”
About: Iv grown up around dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments, giving me strong understanding of how different dogs behave and what they need to feel comfortable and settled. iv also previously worked with large protection dogs, so I'm confident and experienced when it comes to handling larger, stronger and more challenging dogs. I'm comfortable caring for and handling dogs of all breeds and sizes, while always taking the time to understand their individual personality and needs. I have my own Beagle at home who is friendly well-socialised and used to having other dogs stay in the home. i understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and relaxed in a new environment, and i aim to provide a calm, secure and enjoyable home from home experience for every dog in my care. I'm currently working full time mon-friday. I am available for all dog sitting, walking and visits Friday (6pm) evenings to Monday morning (6am). I have a fenced garden area for myself and my beagle, with availability to a larger garden with shared access with another dog, but they can be kept separate. I'm willing and able to take your dog(s) on walks locally and also short journeys in the car for more adventures. I have the facilities to keep your dog(s) and mine apart if need/requested.
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.
About: Taken care of neighbours dogs and cats before, being trained in dog first aid is important to me as I want to be prepared for any eventuality. I work full-time, but I have every weekend off as well as one day a week working from home, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have an 8-year-old Dalmatian called Monty, who I share with my dad. Monty usually stays at my home with me and my partner at weekends. He is a much-loved part of the family and is very used to being around people and having a relaxed home environment. If your dog or cat is not comfortable around other dogs, please don’t worry. Monty can stay elsewhere while your pet is staying with us, so they can have the home and attention they need without feeling stressed or unsettled. Your pet’s comfort and wellbeing will always come first. ☺️ My partner, Dean, who you can see in some of the other photos, will also be around and will help me care for your beloved pets. We both love animals and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and, just as importantly, lots of time to relax and feel at home. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time in a safe environment. Our back door is kept securely locked, giving us extra peace of mind when pets are in our care. We’re also lucky to have plenty of lovely fields and walking routes nearby, which are perfect for longer walks and giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and get plenty of exercise. 🐾💕 We want every pet staying with us to feel safe, comfortable and at home, with a good balance of exercise, play, relaxation and lots of love.
About: I offer a warm, active, and attuned environment where dogs can truly be dogs. I love getting outdoors — whether that’s long walks, gentle runs, or slower “sniffy” exploring — and I’m very happy for dogs to get muddy, wet, and fully enjoy themselves (with a good towel-off afterwards!). At home, I offer calm, cosy evenings with plenty of snuggles and downtime — always led by what your dog is comfortable with. Some dogs want play, some want space, and I take time to tune into that. I have handling training and my dog Murphy is a certified ‘Dog Mentor’. This means I’m confident reading cues, supporting different temperaments, and helping dogs feel safe and settled. Whether your dog is energetic, sensitive, playful, or somewhere in between, I aim to provide a balanced experience of adventure, enrichment, and calm connection. I mostly work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and can settle into a calm, consistent routine. Our day usually starts with a morning walk or run, often along the river, giving dogs a chance to stretch their legs, explore, and burn off some energy. During the day, dogs have access to the garden for fresh air, sniffing, and play, alongside a relaxed home environment. If it suits the dog, we may head out for a shorter lunchtime walk in the nearby woods, followed by a longer walk after work to round off the day. Evenings are calm and cosy, with time to relax, unwind, and have a cuddle (if that’s their thing!). I try to balance activity and downtime so each dog feels both stimulated and settled. I provide a calm, safe, and home-from-home environment where dogs are cared for with both structure and sensitivity to their individual needs. My home offers a relaxed space with access to a secure garden for regular breaks, play, and fresh air. I’m mindful of safety both inside and outside the home — whether that’s secure lead use on walks, careful introductions, or reading dogs’ body language to ensure they feel comfortable and not overwhelmed. I focus on creating an environment where dogs can settle at their own pace, feel safe, and enjoy both activity and calm downtime. Above all, I aim to build trust with both dogs and their owners so you can feel confident your dog is in safe, caring hands.
“Beth looked after our husky again this Summer, and we knew she couldn't be in better hands. Caring, professional and highly experienced. Can't recommend Beth highly enough. A real super 🌟 and we look forward to seeing her again soon”
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 offer a warm, structured, and engaging environment, and am available to care for your dog for day sitting or weekend boarding from Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I have a large, secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor play, along with a friendly 10-month-old puppy who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a sociable, relaxed environment. Inside the home, pets are treated as part of the family, with plenty of supervision, routine, and individual attention. I am also happy to crate dogs if required, ensuring I can follow your pets usual routine and preferences. My approach remains consistent across all services, with care tailored to suit each pets needs.
