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.

“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.”

“Joy was absolutely wonderful with Muffin! She was so attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay. I could tell Muffin was super happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Joy!”

About: Hello, I am Jess and I’m a gardener currently living on the Great Dixter estate while completing a year-long horticultural scholarship. I’ve spent the last few years working in gardening, community growing and farm environments, so I’m happiest outdoors and very comfortable around animals. I’m active, practical and reliable, and love a proper walk in all weathers – so dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring are very welcome! I drive, so I’m happy to take dogs further afield for countryside and woodland walks, or even trips to the coast and beach where appropriate and agreed with you. Alongside my scholarship, I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins and house sitting, particularly during evenings and weekends, with some flexibility. As a gardener, I’m also very happy to water plants and keep an eye on the garden while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’m respectful, tidy and conscientious, will follow your pet’s usual routines carefully, and am always happy to send photos and updates while they’re in my care. I’m calm, reliable and genuinely love spending time outdoors with animals — whether that’s a gentle walk for an older dog or an energetic play session for a younger one. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, ensuring they feel safe, happy and cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy local carer who treats every pet as if they were their own, I’d love to help. With experience caring for a 5-year-old Labrador with cancer, I’m comfortable handling medication, managing special diets, and providing a calm, supportive environment for dogs with unique health concerns. My focus is always on your pet’s comfort and well-being, ensuring peace of mind while you're away. I’m currently based on the Great Dixter estate while completing a horticultural scholarship. My work is practical and outdoors-based, and I have flexibility around evenings, weekends and days off for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I drive, so I’m also able to travel locally and can discuss what works best for your pet’s usual routine. I’m reliable, practical and respectful of both your pet and your home. I’ll always follow the routines and instructions you give me, including feeding, walks, medication, access to the house and any particular rules your pet is used to. I’ve worked in gardens, farms and community settings where being responsible, observant and safety-conscious is an important part of the job. I’m also very happy to send regular photos and updates while you’re away. In a pet owner’s home, I follow your specific instructions closely, keeping your dog in their regular environment where they feel most at ease. I stay vigilant about locking doors, monitoring their surroundings, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: Hi! I’m Zimi, and I’ve been caring for pets for around 20 years, including cats of every personality, from shy rescues to playful troublemakers. I’ve run my own pet sitting and dog walking business and have experience with all kinds of animals, so I know how important it is to keep your cat happy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away.

I’m reliable, patient, and will always give updates so you know your feline friend is safe, loved, and stressfree.

About: I used to have 8 cats when I lived in Spain, most of them rescues. A certain amount of recovery was involved with each of them which was both heartbreaking and rewarding.

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 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.

“Jen is great with Roxy. Roxy enjoyed her day away and soon relaxed within Jen’s home environment and came home contented.”

Kay R.

“Cannot recommend Abbey enough. Needed to find a sitter at short notice and Abbey was so helpful getting back to me quickly to get it set up with no stress. The updates we were sent showed our dog looking very content and she seemed quite at home when we picked her up. Abbey was really accomodating with drop off and pick up times too which was great for the day out we planned. We don't need a sitter often, but will absolutely look to book again when we do.”

About: Hi, I’m Zimi! 🐶 I’ve been caring for pets for around 20 years, including running my own dog walking and pet sitting business and studying animal care in college. Along the way, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older dogs, and even travelling across Europe helping large groups of rescue dogs. This gave me lots of experience reading dog body language, understanding different temperaments, and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. I have experience with training and mental stimulation with fun games! I also have my own rescue dog who is reactive, which has taught me a lot about patience, calm handling, and understanding anxious or shy dogs. Because of this, I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra reassurance and care. Right now, I don’t host dogs at my home, but I love walking, visiting, and spending time with pets in their own environment, giving them plenty of love, attention, and fun while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or shy and slow-paced, I adjust my approach to suit their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need a calm presence, extra reassurance, or gentle handling. I’m currently working part time with an incredibly flexible schedule, so please feel free to ask about any timings that you might need and we can go from there. I take the safety and wellbeing of every pet very seriously. Every walk, visit, and in-home stay is carefully planned to ensure your dog or cat feels secure, happy, and comfortable! I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and cues, so pets always feel supported and stress free. I provide a calm, structured environment, whether we’re walking outside, exploring new spaces, or staying at home. For pets with special needs, anxiety, or shyness, I’m especially attentive and patient, making sure routines are followed and pets feel safe. I communicate openly with owners, sending regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I strive to create an environment where pets and their humans feel confident and relaxed. I am very empathetic and understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I strive to deliver a service I myself would be happy with.

About: I'm a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they get the exercise, affection, and routine they need to stay happy and healthy. 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.

“Victoria is wonderful! She is friendly, caring and has an incredible energy with my dog. Her trainer skills are great and so helpful. We are so happy to have found her! Thanks Victoria for taking care of Khaleesi !”

About: Current carer for 3 whippets. I have experience of bringing up puppies, caring for seniors, including with health issues and helping rescue dogs. Retired partner of Redhound. My wife and I are semi-retired so I can be very flexible. We have three whippets so the main consideration is ensuring they have care which we can manage between us For our dogs we ensure that the garden is secure and safe. Our road is quiet but we always put them on a lead when leaving the house, even if it us just to the car. We have a nervous rescue dog so do consider interaction with other dogs when meeting on walks.

“Kellyanne was on time, the dogs immediately loved her and they came back very content :) Now both snuggled up in their bed fast asleep. Just what they needed! Kellyanne went above and beyond to help me out as one of the kids had 'borrowed' Annie's collar for their toy and was no where to be seen an hour before their walk. So Kellyanne bought her own collar for Annie to wear! We are so grateful. See you soon :)”

Alongside my scholarship, I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins and house sitting, particularly during evenings and weekends, with some flexibility. As a gardener, I’m also very happy to water plants and keep an eye on the garden while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy local carer who treats every pet as if they were their own, I’d love to help.

About: I have walked and looked after dogs since 2023. I have always had a passion for dog breeds since I was very young. I have studied dog behaviour and temperament for a wide variety of dog breeds, in all categories from working, pastoral, gundog, toy, terrier, and utility. I am very happy to look after senior dogs and puppies. If you need a helping hand in the day or a sitter overnight, I am happy to help. I am a university student who studies from home for most of the week. At this current moment in time, I am at home for 7 days a week due to my first semester starting in late September. I am very active and love walking, I also paint and draw during the day, so if your dog prefers to sleep and rest, I am happy to keep them company as well. I live in a detached house with a medium sized garden that is secured. My family has one dog, a 6 year old golden retriever. She is friendly and likes to rule to roost.

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.

“Lovely family to leave our puppy with for the first time, they were very patient and kind. We were lucky to find such experienced dog owners to care for Richard. The photos and updates were appreciated !”

“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.”

“Roz is an absolute Angel. She looked after Stella in very difficult circumstances and gave her the highest standard of care. I can't recommend her strongly enough. Lovely lady, highly competent, prepared to go above and beyond”

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.

“Albert was very happy after his stay with Daisy. Daisy kept me updated with messages and pictures so that I could see how he was getting on. I will definitely be booking again”

“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.”

“Super lovely. Sent pics and updates which were appreciated. Flexible. Would recommend!”

“Juno was very excited to stay with Alicia after our initial meet and greet. She had a great time and was obviously well looked after. Will use again.”

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life, and caring for them is my favourite thing to do. I’m Nicola, a reliable, patient and animal‑obsessed sitter who treats every pet like part of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle cuddles or energetic playtime, I make sure they feel safe, happy and understood. I’m attentive to routines, confident with all temperaments and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I have a BTEC National Diploma in Science and Animal Care and am confident with administering medications if necessary. I’m currently hybrid working with only 2 days a week in the office, so my days at home can be spent looking after your fur babies. I’m also free on weekends, bank holidays and term times. I have a secure fenced garden for your dogs to run, play and have toilet breaks. My little Malshi will also keep them company throughout the day or night.

“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”

“Rio spent just over a week with Natasha and her family and had a great time! He was well looked after and cared for and I received updates and photos throughout the time to help put my mind at rest. This was his first time away and I think he was unsettled initially but soon settled in and didn’t rush to the door to come home when we collected him! Would definitely use again and would recommend to others. Thank you!”

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.

“Julie has been amazing looking after our little Floyd. She kept us updated with messages and photos regularly, the communication was great. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in safe hands.”

“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!”

“Just picked up my dog Eddie from Edward and what a wonderful couple him and his wife are. Eddie has had a great time he was so well looked after it was the perfect home from home. So much so we have already booked them for our summer holiday. He kept in touch the whole time we were away with photos and videos. I cannot recommend him enough”
