Pet Sitting Stonegate

About: I am a retired GP. I have had a dog myself for many years. My first Labrador, Pebble lived until she was 15. Currently we have a black Labrador called Bramble who is 10. She is a sweet dog. She is very quiet and has various health problems including joint dysplasia. She can’t walk far. I love walking and miss her. I have looked after friend’s and family’s dogs. A border terrier called Doris and a Cockapoo called Bertie. They have stayed with us when their owners are away. I am retired so I have plenty of dog walking time. I get up early and love being outdoors. Walking is one of my favourite things. We have a fenced garden. We live up a beautiful county lane surrounded by lots of fields and footpaths so plenty of dog walking countryside.

About: I have experience looking after dogs and cats aswell as sick animals that need daily medication. Growing up I spent a lot of time with my two cats. However, I have always wanted a dog and luckily, thanks to friends and relatives I have been able to feed, train and walk a variety of dogs. I cant wait to befriend your beloved dogs and cats, and keep them safe, healthy and exercised whilst you are on holiday or just at work. I currently do some self employed gardening, but am free most of the week. This means I am flexible with times and can work around you. I believe safety and trust can be ensured with regular updates, photos and pre written instructions for all animals. This should include how they interact with children or other dogs on walks, medication and how to administer it, feeding times etc. I will always be available for a daily update or any questions you may have.

About: Ive always looked after my own animals of years and love them. I also have done voluntary work for an animal charity for over 4 years. I have completed an immediate emergency care course for canines. I am a shift worker so any days I have available i am off work and free to help! I love animals so spending any extra time with them is honestly a treat for me! I am more than happy to have any instructions on how you wish for your animal to be cared for. In my house our animals are our family and so yours will be welcomed with the same love!

“Sarah was so lovely and our cats were so happy when we returned from a long Holiday. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve always had cats as a child and now as and adult we have our little black and white cat Juno. My mum had a dog who I absolutely adored when I was in my twenties. I love all animals and am comfortable around them. I’m happy to help with visits, feeding, play and lots of cuddles! Ask me if there’s something you’d like me to do which isn’t on the list, am happy to consider requests and will treat your pets with the love and care they deserve! I’m currently working freelance and have a lot of spare time and can be flexible around requirements. I have a car and can travel easily and don’t have many other commitments so can be available for what is needed. I am careful and considerate and will ensure I follow any instructions you have given regarding the care of your pets. I know how important it is to have a safe caring environment for pets and will ensure that I do whatever is needed to create that. I’ll also keep you updated throughout to give you peace of mind

“Amy is always excellent with our Tamaskan Loki! She is our go to when trying to find day care and we always come home to a very happy pup.”

About: I’ve always had dogs, a few different breeds as well, I’ve had German shepherds, Great Danes, doberman, I currently have a cockapoo and a Labrador. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs, working dogs, I’m happy to adjust to whatever the individual dog needs I am currently looking for work so my schedule is very flexible, however when I do get a job things may change but that can be discussed I will cater to each individual dogs needs, if they need more than one walk a day, done. If they need to be crated for certain times a day, that can happen. If they get funny about food, I’ve dealt with food aggressive dogs before. I will adjust according to each individual dog or cat

About: Had many happy pets over the years and I can’t wait to help keep your pet happy and healthy, as someone who loves both animals and exercise this is the perfect job for me. I own two dogs and one cat myself so know how to care for animals. My pets go on daily walks and are fed and entertained. I have a large garden for my two dogs and a forest near for long walks and a large crate. I am attentive and know what animals need.

“Emma has looked after Mischa brilliantly during our weekend away. She immediately established a rapport with her when they first met. We appreciated the reports and photos after each visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone who needs someone to care for their cat/s.”

About: I grew up in a household filled with many pets, mainly dogs (we had nine dogs at one point), as well as cats, reptiles, birds and fish, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve recently returned to the UK after a year in Australia, where I discovered my love for pet and house sitting. It quickly became one of my favourite ways to travel, and I’m excited to continue doing it now that I’m back home. I’m a compassionate, considerate, and conscientious person who finds looking after other people’s pets and homes deeply rewarding. I’ve cared for many dog breeds — including spaniels, dachshunds, pit bulls, retrievers, poodles, and greyhounds — each with their own personalities and needs, from lively puppies to gentle seniors. I’m comfortable administering medication and have plenty of experience with anxious pets and rescue animals. I love long walks and hikes, and having a furry companion along for the adventure is always a highlight. I also take great pride in keeping homes clean, tidy, and well cared for while owners are away. If you feel I might be the perfect fit for your pets, I’d love to hear from you! I’m self-employed and work remotely, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can be available any day of the week. I can easily fit pet care around my work, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give them the attention they need whenever they need it. When house sitting, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space by keeping to their usual routines — feeding times, walks, favourite toys, bedtime rituals. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates so you know your pets are happy and cared for. For dog walks, I tailor each outing to suit their energy and personality, whether that’s a gentle stroll or a lively run around the park. Walks are a great opportunity for exercise and stimulation, so I make sure every dog gets the attention they deserve.

About: I love dogs and cats, and I’m currently living with a Samoyed and a cat. I grew up with dogs and have had both a Husky and a Golden Retriever, raising them from puppies. Sadly, they passed away a few years ago, but I also gained valuable experience caring for them in their senior years. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while they are in my care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am currently working from home to run an online business all day, so I can be quite flexible with looking after your pets. My dog, Simba, is very friendly to other dogs as well. He can be a bit barky, but he is very playful. I live in rural areas and have a fully fenced garden. My dog can keep your pet good company. I also have crates if needed.

About: Hi 👋🏻 my name is Lisa and I am the owner of The Kent Animal Nanny offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I have owned cats, dogs, rabbits etc since I was born and looked after friends and families pets for several years. A few months ago I decided to leave behind the 9-5 life to pursue my passion of looking after animals. I am fully insured, have a DBS and I am first aid trained.

Please feel free to contact me for my availability I live in a first floor flat but I also have a private garden, I am able to take pets into my home but prefer to look after pets in their own homes so they are in a comfortable and familiar setting.

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.

“Natasha was perfect cat sitter while we were away for the week. Both cats very happy when we returned. Great updates and pictures and even went above and beyond by taking in numerous deliveries and putting bins in and out while we were away. Thank you so much. Excellent service and will def use again 😊.”

“We had lovely walks with Leiah on several drop-ins, and Riley clearly has taken to all the cuddles and attention she gets from Leiah. We're looking forward to our first dog sit, which is all booked!”

“Chloe’s an absolute star. Had 2 drop ins today while I was out for the day. Great updates via the app, posted some great pix of my golden retriever during the visits and even put up with his (loud) barking! Will defo book again for drop ins and dog walks. Reliable and trustworthy. 100% recommended”

“I picked Brenna because she lives locally, but have really lucked out. I adopted Suri - a retired racer geyground - two weeks ago and we are still establishing our rhythms. It is obvious Brenna has a huge amount of patience and love for dogs and I feel confident leaving Suri in her care. It’s been nice getting the updates through the Rover app on what they’ve been up to. It’s been nice seeing them bond with each visit. Would recommend Brenna 100%”

Rachel K.

“Caroline has been an amazing find! She totally took the stress and worry about leaving our cat alone for the best part of 4 weeks whilst we holidayed in Australia. She provided daily updates, including photos, and full reassurance. My cat is usually fairly standoffish with strangers, but fell in love with Caroline who clearly is a huge animal lover. We will 100% book Caroline for future trips and recommend her to friends with no hesitation whatsoever.”

“Libby looked after our kitty Chester while we went home for Christmas and she did a fantastic job. We loved getting the pictures from her visits and cuddles with him. We will definitely be using Libby for our next trips back home! Thanks so much Libby.. highly recommended x”
