About: I will look after your pets like they're my own! I have had cats and dogs from a young age and I am experienced in looking after them and each of their unique quirks and how they mix together. Of course all animals are different so I will work with you to look after and care for your fur babies and their individual needs exactly how you would want them to be cared for. I work full time Monday to Friday and on average I work from home 2 days a week over the month. Which days I choose to work from home are completely flexible. So have plenty of wiggle room for caring for you pets at home (either mine or yours) for drop ins/walkies. My weekends are my own so I am pretty available and flexible. I have my own cats so for dog sitting in my own home they would need to be non-aggressive towards cats. I have a lovely garden that is fenced at the back (backs onto an alleyway) and low walls to neighbouring gardens.
About: Calm, home-from-home dog boarding by the beach 🐾 I offer a relaxed, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Living right by the beach means plenty of fresh air, walks, and a calm routine — it’s like a little holiday for them while you’re away. I keep things small and personal, usually caring for just one dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, consistency, and a stress-free environment, which works especially well for more sensitive or excitable dogs. I’m experienced with a range of temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m confident following your routines — whether that’s feeding, training, or medication. Owners often say they feel completely at ease knowing their dog is in safe hands, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility for walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’m active and out walking daily, making sure your dog gets a good balance of exercise and downtime. I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine and sleeping arrangements to help them settle in comfortably. I'm currently working part time so I've got lots of time to walk/ play with your pup. I'm very active and walk/run daily. I can be available most weekends also and daytimes too. I don't have a crate at home but we're happy to have your pet sleep in the living room (on the couch if prerable). Happy to accommodate any need
“Suzanne has been looking after Reggie my Jack Russell for 7days while I’ve been on holiday and made him feel at home from home, you can tell he’s enjoyed her company with her neighbours and he loved her cuddles on her sofa from the pictures she sent me. I highly recommend Suzanne just for the warmth and care she provides for your extended family member. I will be using her s services again.”
About: For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after my Pomeranian baby, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment I brought him home, I made sure to provide him with a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. I prioritize his health by keeping up with regular vet check-ups, a balanced diet, and plenty of exercise to keep him active and happy. I also pay close attention to his grooming needs—brushing his fluffy coat regularly to prevent matting and keeping his paws clean and trimmed. Every day, we share moments of joy, whether it’s a playful romp in the yard, snuggles on the couch, or teaching him new tricks. Beyond the daily care, it’s the bond we share that truly means the most. I love how his little personality shines through, how he greets me with excitement every time I walk through the door, and how we’ve grown so connected over the years. Hi is not just a pet; he is family, and my heart fills with love every time I look at him. Hi There! I work mostly online at home so I will be happy to look after small ones. I have my own car so I easy can come any time needed! Looking forward hear from you! Caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, safety, trust, and the environment are always my top priorities. Here’s how I ensure that: Safety: I create a pet-proof environment, making sure that all potential hazards—sharp objects, toxic plants, or small items that could be swallowed—are removed. I also ensure that pets are supervised, especially during playtime or outdoor activities. Trust: Building trust with both pets and owners is essential. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings. Regular updates, photos, and videos help owners stay connected and assured that their pet is in good hands. Environment: I provide a calm, loving, and enriching environment. This includes a quiet space for rest, age-appropriate toys for mental stimulation, and a consistent daily schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks. Ultimately, I aim to give pets the same care and attention as I would my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for in a secure and trusting environment.

About: Hello, I’m Jamie, a reliable and experienced professional based in Margate. I work flexibly across consultancy and community-based roles, which allows me to offer dependable cat care throughout Thanet. I’ve always loved cats, and if I’m honest, cat sitting started because so many friends in my circle have adorable cats that I’ve happily looked after over the years. What began as helping out friends when they were away quickly became something I genuinely enjoy. Every cat has its own personality, routines and quirks, and getting to know them is one of the best parts of the job. I understand that leaving your cat with someone new requires trust. Whether your cat enjoys company and play, prefers a quiet fuss on their own terms, or simply needs feeding and a welfare check, I’ll provide calm, attentive care and regular updates while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative and attentive to each cat’s individual needs. My aim is simple: to make sure your cat is happy, comfortable and well cared for, and that you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I also love taking photos and will happily share updates so you can see how your feline friend is getting on while you’re away.
“Christine was excellent! She came around prior to dog sitting to meet our dog Bobby and she had a nice calm approach which is great as Bobby can be nervous meeting new people. But all went great and Christine was excellent with communication throughout and gave us regular updates and sent pictures. And most importantly, Bobby was very thankful for her company. Would definitely use Christine again - thanks 👍”
“Amanda was brilliant with Betty and with looking after my house. She was lovely to deal with and really helped to put me at ease and provide updates of Betty. I came home to a very chilled cat and well looked after house - what a joy. Will certainly be booking her again - highly recommend.”
“Colin took such excellent care of my cat Ray and also of my home. Everything was immaculate on my return and more importantly Ray was very chilled and content and had obviously been pampered as Colin had bought him a new cat nip mouse. I echo the previous review ‘Everyone Needs a Colin’”
About: I’ve had cats throughout my life and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine, I genuinely love spending time with cats and have experience caring for them both as a pet owner and while helping friends and family when they’re away. Whether your cat enjoys lots of attention or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. They will be well looked after and I’ll always have time for playtime and cuddles (if they want them!) and regular photo updates for your peace of mind😊
About: I’ve looked after and owned pets all my life -I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs as I’ve grown up and could not love them more. Neighbours and friends have relied on me throughout the years, and I currently look after a dog on a weekly basis so am used to dog sitting! I’m currently working from home a minimum of 3 days a week so I’m always free to look after pets in the day! Happy to look after them in evenings and will walk regularly. Also available on weekends. I live on a very safe road and reside in a safe and comfortable flat, where your pet is welcome to have free reign of! The surrounding area also has plenty of dog parks!
“Dana was absolutely wonderful when she looked after Nori for me. I needed someone to go in twice during the day to walk her and feed her while I was in London. It was the first time we had met and she offered to join our morning walk to get to know both of us before spending time with Nori that day, which I’ve really appreciated. She gave me lots of updates during the day, and I felt very secure in the knowledge that Nori was in good hands. I would definitely book her again – in fact, we’ve already made a plan for the next sit! Thank you!”
About: I had cats when I was younger and feel they really make a house a home. I adopted my cat when I moved out and he was 10 years old. He lived the rest of his life with me and he really was my fury best mate. I love each cat I meet as if they are my own and will cherish your little purrbabies like they deserve :)
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover with a genuine passion for keeping pups happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. I’m experienced with different breeds, attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and committed to providing an stress-free, tail-wagging experience. I have two dogs and one cat of my own. I can do dog checks morning day and evenings seven days a week. Weekends, any time weekdays evenings only for check-in and walks and any additional time needing to stay with your pup. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home.

“Mounira was very lovely and great at communicating with me. I felt very at ease leaving her housesitting with my elderly cat, and loved receiving all the updates and photos. I'll certainly be hoping to have her look after Betty again. I came home to a very chilled and happy cat :)”
About: I have looked after cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. They have been in my family for as long as I can remember. I am experienced in caring for kittens and puppies as well as elderly cats and dogs. An active family long walks are a regular activity & so happy to go on longer walks.
About: I’ve spent the last 10+ years helping to care for my dad’s gorgeous cocker spaniel, who I absolutely love taking out for walks and spending time with. Looking after him has given me lots of hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, and making sure dogs feel happy and comfortable. I also regularly take care of my cousin’s cat, which I really enjoy. I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with pets, giving them plenty of attention, care, and affection.
“We booked Sophie for regular drop-ins over the span of two and a half weeks and honestly she has been an incredibly reliable, caring and communicative cat sitter. We could sleep easily knowing that someone responsible and genuinely good with pets is looking after our cat while we're out of the country. Dexter is usually very shy around strangers but instantly took a liking to her, which says a lot. We were concerned about letting someone we don't know have the keys to our flat for that long, but she has been nothing but respectful of our home. To sum it all up, we would definitely book her again!”
About: All I’ve been looking forward to is pet care. I’ve always had a genuine love for all animals, they bring me so much joy. I’ve had pet cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I haven’t got much experience outside of my own home yet but everyone starts somewhere and hopefully for me that can be here :)

“Faith was absolutely brilliant - super responsive, flexible, friendly, and reliable! Miso had such a great time with her poodle, Coco. Got lots of updates throughout the day too - highly recommended!”
About: I owned a springer spaniel for 13+ years, until he very sadly passed away in May:( I had him from an 8 week puppy all the way until he became an old fella:) I am a full-time artist working from home. So pretty flexible with time. I would be keen to go for long walks on the beach. I have a small fenced garden and live very near the beach. Happy for dogs on sofa and bed. I have no other pets at home.
“Claire was amazing. Our dog is quite high energy while simultaneously anxious. Claire took her for a whole day, and sent regular updates and pictures, showing she was happy and relaxed! I think our dog might prefer Claire to us! You cannot go wrong. Thank you Claire!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have a 7-year-old Fox Terrier, so I’m very familiar with the energy, intelligence, and personality that comes with the breed. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to more senior dogs who need a gentler approach. What sets me apart is the personal attention and patience I give to every animal. I understand that every dog is different—some need lots of play and stimulation, while others just want a quiet cuddle and a steady routine. I treat every pet like my own, and I’m always happy to follow any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy in my care. I work at a studio just 5 minutes from my home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I can either bring a dog with me to the studio I create a calm and secure environment where pets can relax, play, and feel safe. I don’t have any children or other pets besides my own friendly Fox Terrier, so your pet will get plenty of attention and one-on-one care. I make sure the space is pet-proofed, clean, and suited to their individual needs—whether that means lots of play, quiet time, or regular toilet breaks.

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was a child. I’ve owned everything from rabbits and guinea pigs to goats and cats and have looked after dogs of all ages and temperaments. I work from home on a flexible schedule so am available for companionship, feeds and walks all day…and even in the night. I also walk on the cliffs, parks or beaches regularly and welcome the company. I have a large fenced garden and home with areas that can be closed off for safety and cleanliness. I believe in positive reinforcement with respect for space and building a bond with individual animals.
“Thanks heaps for looking after Aku and Frankie. Robert was very patient with us and sent us photos of our two pups. I was very nervous as I've never used Rover before. I did not realise I'd booked an overnight stay 😂 In any case, the pups seemed to have had a great time.”
“Highly recommended. My boy gets so excited as we approach the house and can't wait to see Stephen. It puts your mind at rest when you know your doggy is happy and stress free when I leave him. So glad we found you.”
About: I am 52 years old and have fed, walked, mucked out and administered medication (pills) to: dogs, cats, budgies pigs, pigeons and a rabbit. I have had a loving connection to animals since childhood. I respect their right as individuals being mindful of their needs for companionship and down time. I can provide caring and respectful interaction with your companion animal and carry out instructions for feeding and their other routines as well as make sure that your property is kept secure and tidy. I am physically fit, (running, cycling, swimming and climbing). I love to get out and about especially hiking/walking/running at your dog's pace and I love to play them at their own games, tug of war and fetch! I provide regular photo and video updates and supervise their care routines. I have 11 years of monthly volunteer experience at a vegan ran animal rescue sanctuary, which keeps rescued pigs, sheep, cows, turkeys, geese, ducks, an alpaca and also had a sadly departed rescue deer. I have also volunteered at Kerala animal rescue in India for stray dogs (rescue, neuter, vacinate and release). I can provide references upon request. I'm currently working from home and enjoy taking breaks to exercise and interact with companion animals. We usually play their favourite game or walk/run either locally or on an exciting trip. I usually sit with companion animals in their home, and get a sense whether they want to play or chill out. I also provide their food and medication per regular routine.
“Jolene was great with my dog! My dog looked very contented when i picked her up and i received alot of info from Jolene on how my dog behaved and how she was on her long walk out and also how she was being left for the first time. I received a photo of her which i didnt get till nearly pick up time due to Rover not informing me that i had a photo on the app. Would i leave my dog with Jolene again? Absolutely! Thank you Jolene!”
About: I've trained my Dobey, my Rotti, my Yorkshire terriers, and Vlaamse Rose rabbits. I have a fountain of knowledge and buckets of love to give. I would like to dog sit nearer my children who all live in Berkshire, occasionally. I really love living by the sea but I do miss the Chiltern hills. If anyone from Berkshire would like a reliable, experienced, fun sitter please contact me. I don't have a pet anymore. I'm totally independent. I think that makes me pawfect for the role of reliable dog/cat/house sitter. Love to walk! Your pet would be part of my family. I'd make sure they were comfortable and felt loved from the moment they arrive. A calm space.

About: If you are looking for a mature, reliable pet sitter then look no further! I have had over 20 years experience of pet sitting caring for cats, and dogs, old and young. There isn't much I haven't seen and I'm happy to give medication if required. I will love your animals as if they were my own giving love, cuddles and care to each and everyone one of them. I have a history of global pet sitting. Once our children flew the nest my husband and I went travelling and pet sitting globally; we were booked for 4 years solid travelling the world and looking after other peoples pets in their home. It was an enriching experience; one that I will always treasure. We have now settled back into our own home and wish to care for others' pets in our home, or in homes local to us. What I love the most is the 121 care I give for your pets, generally avoiding group pet sits. I currently work part time from home (as a researcher/project manager and wedding/funeral celebrant (Google: Celebrant Mounira for celebrant services including pet funerals) so am available all day every day for walks and care. We live close to a park and the beach so beach walks are popular! The garden is fully fenced and enclosed so all animals will be safe in the garden. Unless I know a dog very well I will do walks on the lead.

I have a fully enclosed garden for them to use as well.

About: I have always had a love of dogs, and owned my own as a child. I have two dogs myself now. A cockapoo and a labrador. They love having walks on our local beach which is 2 minutes from my home. I have attended dog training classes for several years, which I helped run and I am an artist of pet portraits, which make treasured presents for people. I treat all dogs as I would my own, and give them my best attention and care. In my area we have lovely sandy beaches and a nearby park. I live in a victorian terrace house, with a secure garden, with my husband and 2 sons in their twenties. One has just finished uni, and my other son works at a school,and plays football in a team. We all love animals.
About: My love of dogs began in 2022 when I moved into my current house. The family I lodge with own two adorable pugs, they stole my heart and never gave it back. Since then I've loved them as my own, taking them on nice long walks most days, mucking in and cleaning up after them and providing lots of daily snuggles on my bed. My room is their room. Plus I provide full time care when their owners go on holiday. I love all dogs. I bartend part time in a dog friendly pub and shower affection on all our doggy visitors. Every dog from Rotties and Boxers to tiny little Daschund's and Chihuahua's. After a redundancy last year my calling became clear. I've been dog sitting and caring for dogs for nearly 4 years, I want to spend my whole day with dogs (to be honest I prefer dogs to humans) so making a career of it makes sense. As well as providing all the love and care in the world, your dog will be in safe hands, I'm conscientious and diligent in watching over them, keeping them safe from food and weeds, keeping them hydrated, thorough with all the clean up and very communicative, I like taking photos of all our fun so you can always be assured your dog is safe and having a wonderful time. I hope you'll choose me as your next dog-sitter, I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon. I work as a writer so I'm very flexible, with lots of time to devote to your pawsome friends and can often be available at short notice. Their safety is my number one priority. I keep a watchful eye out at all times, keeping food out of reach and doors locked, if they're out in the garden I make sure it's secure. If something breaks or spills I'll secure the dogs first then clean up thoroughly.

About: I’ve looked after and owned pets all my life -I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs as I’ve grown up and could not love them more.

About: I’ve always had dogs and other furry friends and now I have my own dog, who I rescued from Romania. My dog will likely join us on walks and he is friendly with other dogs. If this is not suitable for your dog, then he will not come. Happy to continue with your training - practice loose lead walking/recall if required. Otherwise your dog can have lots of fun running, playing ball or sniffing to their hearts content. I am available most evenings and weekends. I’m unavailable on Wednesdays, however I might be able to do other days when I work from home. Whilst your pet is in my care I will tend for them as my own! Happy to meet and greet before booking to introduce ourselves.

About: I’ve spent the last 6+ years helping to care for my dad’s gorgeous cocker spaniel, who I absolutely love taking out for walks and spending time with.

About: For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after my Pomeranian baby, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment I brought him home, I made sure to provide him with a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. I prioritize his health by keeping up with regular vet check-ups, a balanced diet, and plenty of exercise to keep him active and happy. I also pay close attention to his grooming needs—brushing his fluffy coat regularly to prevent matting and keeping his paws clean and trimmed. Every day, we share moments of joy, whether it’s a playful romp in the yard, snuggles on the couch, or teaching him new tricks. Beyond the daily care, it’s the bond we share that truly means the most. I love how his little personality shines through, how he greets me with excitement every time I walk through the door, and how we’ve grown so connected over the years. Hi is not just a pet; he is family, and my heart fills with love every time I look at him. Hi There! I work mostly online at home so I will be happy to look after small ones. I have my own car so I easy can come any time needed! Looking forward hear from you! Caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, safety, trust, and the environment are always my top priorities. Here’s how I ensure that: Safety: I create a pet-proof environment, making sure that all potential hazards—sharp objects, toxic plants, or small items that could be swallowed—are removed. I also ensure that pets are supervised, especially during playtime or outdoor activities. Trust: Building trust with both pets and owners is essential. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings. Regular updates, photos, and videos help owners stay connected and assured that their pet is in good hands. Environment: I provide a calm, loving, and enriching environment. This includes a quiet space for rest, age-appropriate toys for mental stimulation, and a consistent daily schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks. Ultimately, I aim to give pets the same care and attention as I would my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for in a secure and trusting environment.
About: I have worked in rescue/Animal care sector for over 10 years. Recently, I was working with the Scottish SPCA where I would look after and rehome a variety of animals in my care; many of whom I had taken home to rehabilitate. I’m also heavily involved with rescue work in a voluntary setting. I homecheck, Assess, foster and transport animals. This is a big part of my life and I’m very proud of the work everyone does to help provide a safe space for neglected animals. I love working with animals that have behavioural issues (I am not a trainer/behaviourist) so I’m quite happy working with and following care plans for reactive dogs (laid out by you and/or trainer) or plans that suit the owners and their needs. I’m passionate and focused so the welfare of your animal will always come first! Please note, I do work part time so I am unable to house sit. (I do have a FB page called Scoobs Sitter) I do have experience of working and owning animals from Hamsters, Ferrets, Rats to Snakes, Cats and Dogs. I also enjoy taking photos of your animals and sending humourous messages so you know your pet is being well looked after! Please see the above information for further details on how I can help. We can also discuss further in messages and away from the site. Thanks for reading. This is not applicable to me as I am unable to offer house boarding in my own home. I am able to house sit in client homes.

About: Hi, I’m James. My wife Heather and I love animals and having both grown up living with an array of pets, dogs, cats, birds (ducks&chickens, budgies) Lizards and tortoises. All companions are loved and admired. Resultantly, from our vast experiences, with different kinds of companions and personalities, we can recognise behavioural traits and understand what it is your boy(s) or girl(s) want / need. We had our own girl (Ellie, as seen in the pictures) unfortunately illness took her so we no other animals at home. So your furry friends will have our undivided attention. Heather, is home all day and we have access to a garden. We live less than 20ft from the sea so your furry friends will have the beauty of the sea to enjoy on walks as part of their daily routine when staying. We look forward to be able to look after your beloved family members. Heather is free and at home all week and able to provide the daily care your friend deserves. Daily walk, ATTENTION, food and drink. However, I return from work approximately 6pm (Tuesday-Saturday) when we would then go for an evening walk before dinner and bed. We believe it is important to build trust with your furry friend by joining in with them with the activities they love. The atmosphere within our home is very relaxed. We believe that our furry friends need a strong routine and a loving environment to thrive. We have an array of both physical and mental stimulating toys so they’ll never be bored.
“Hollie was an awesome sitter! She checked in regularly, included photos and videos, and kept me updated when my pup wasn't feeling her best. I felt reassured that my pup was in good hands and was getting good exercise, and would happily choose Hollie as a sitter again.”
“I was looking for a place where my spaniel would feel as if she was at a home from home I had to leave her for a night over the Christmas holiday period. Lizzie and her family fitted the brief perfectly; they were welcoming and relaxed and immediately made me feel that Molly would be fine with them. Lizzie sent me pictures of how she was settling in over the period and set my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate in using Lizzie again, or recommending her to anyone I know who has a dog and needs a trustworthy sitter.”
