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.

“Willow had a lovely holiday with Julie, Darryl and family.. she was so well cared for and entertained with walks and ball games. Julie sent lots of daily photos and videos which gave me peace of mind whilst being so far away in Canada, it meant the world to me... thank you so much Julie and Darryl and for your flexibility with an extra day when my flight was delayed; I think Willow was really missing you yesterday 😊”

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.

“Thank you Nicola for giving Moose the best care this weekend and all the updates. He has had the best time and a very tired boy from all the playing.”

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 😃”

“Charlotte is absolutely lovely! So good with my dogs. The dogs loved the kids too. Sorry about them chasing the cat 🥴”

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.”

“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.”
