About: I’m a true animal lover and have had pets my entire life—everything from playful puppies to wise senior dogs and cuddly cats. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping energetic pups entertained, giving senior pets gentle care, or simply providing lots of cuddles and companionship, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m a full-time teacher, which means I’m available for walks and drop-ins after school hours during term time. During half terms and school holidays, I have much more flexibility and can offer daytime care, extended visits, and more availability overall. I always aim to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets can feel at ease—free from stress and full of love. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. You can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands.

About: I grew up in a busy household with a Border Collie mix and a Jack Russell, so I’m no stranger to high energy and big personalities! Today, I’m a proud 'sausage mum' to two miniature (well, 'in betweenie' size) dachshunds. I offer dedicated drop-in visits and walks throughout Swale, tailored entirely to your routine. Living in Swale with a flexible work from home schedule means I am available throughout the day and evening to give your dog the attention they deserve - I also drive so distance is not a problem! Having pet sat for family for years, I understand that every dog is an individual. Whether your pup is a high energy explorer or a shy snuggler, I adapt my approach to their specific temperament. I prioritise safety above all else; For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on lead and are exclusive to your household, ensuring my full focus is always on your best friend. Because I and my partner work from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to be there for your dog exactly when they need me. Whether it’s a mid-morning stretch, a lunch break stroll, or an evening check-in, I can easily work around your routin - I am available throughout the day and into the evening across Swale and the surrounding areas as I have my own car. My priority is providing consistent, reliable care so you can go about your day knowing your pup isn’t waiting by the door alone. Safety is at the heart of every visit. Growing up with high-energy breeds like Border Collies and Jack Russells taught me the importance of vigilance and control. For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on-lead and are exclusive to your household; I don’t do 'pack walks,' so your dog has my undivided attention. Whether I'm visiting your home for a drop-in or exploring the local area, I adapt to your dog’s specific temperament and triggers. I treat every dog with the same care and caution I give my own two dachshunds, ensuring they return home happy, tired, and safe.

About: I am a genuine dog lover and a pet parent myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, kind and patient to look after your pets. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs day to day, including feeding routines, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles, basic grooming care and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I currently care for my own dogs, including a larger energetic dog and a smaller companion dog, so I am comfortable with different sizes, temperaments and routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, likes, dislikes and boundaries, and I always try to follow the owner’s instructions closely. What sets me apart is that I treat pets like family. I am patient, gentle and attentive, and I will make sure your dog receives plenty of care, affection and reassurance while you are away. I can help with regular walks, feeding, playtime, companionship and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I am also happy to provide updates, photos and messages so you feel reassured while your pet is with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already care for my own dogs every day. I am used to regular feeding times, morning and evening walks, toilet breaks, playtime and keeping dogs settled throughout the day. I have a flexible routine, so I can plan walks, visits or care around each pet’s normal schedule. I understand that consistency is important for pets, so I always try to follow the owner’s instructions closely and keep their routine as familiar as possible. I care for pets with patience, attention and respect for their individual needs. Whether I am looking after a pet in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure they feel safe, calm and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication if required, toilet routines, sleeping arrangements and any house rules. I keep pets supervised, avoid unsafe situations, and take care when opening doors, walking near roads or introducing them to unfamiliar places. In my home, pets will be treated like family in a clean, caring and comfortable environment. I also understand that some pets may feel nervous when away from their owners, so I give them time, reassurance and gentle attention. I am happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident that their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I've always looked after family pets and now have 2 dogs of my own. I enjoy being outdoors and love long hikes with my boys. As both of my dogs are rescues I have experience training obedience including loose leash walking. I'm working from home and can be flexible with hours, so am available for most of the day, 7 days a week. Happy to do group walks with my boys or solo if your dog doesn't like company. I have a fenced garden that includes shade and a paddling pool for the dogs when it's hot, and a nice sofa woth blankets for when it's cold

“Claire Louise was very friendly and arrived on time. Charlie loved his first walk with Claire, although kept on a lead but returned with a waggy tail.”

About: I am a first year vet student with experience working with different animals, as well as having two cats my self. I love working with both cats and dogs and will happily take on either! as i am off from uni over the summer, i have free time most of the week to visit pets, take them on walks or maintain daily enrichment whilst you are away. As I am not currently at university i am fully flexible to any preferred times. I am used to nervous animals and work well with them having adopted two rescue kittens, so am happy to work with shy pets as well as confident ones.

About: I am from the north east of England where I live in a small town surrounded by countryside (before spending 16 years in London and moving to Kent in 2020). I love animals, in particular dogs. From when I was born I grew up around cats and dogs we had in the family, rabbits too and other animals on my aunties farm horses, cows, sheep and chickens. My auntie was also a dog trainer and attended crufts. I work in Mental Health and animals are a huge part of the family. They also help to reduce any stress, live in the moment and make us smile. I also have a pet first aid qualification. I am mainly available Friday (8am) to Sunday (10pm) for day care and/or over night. Depending on the time of the year and my work I may be available for other days/longer stays. My home is firstly my dogs home. He is allowed on the sofa and has access to a secure garden. There are no dangerous wires or objects which could cause injury.

About: So I am a young single male. I have a lifetime if experience with animals, especially dogs so I find i have a very deep bond from the start of a booking, i live in a quite off street close.to a massive nature park with lake and loads of trails to walk and the dogs love them. Sheerness beach is only a short trip away and for the odd short walk there are lots.of little local greens to go round, throw a ball etc. I send updates,pictures and videos to the owners and the dogs always recieve 1 to 1 attention the majority of the day. I may pop out for a few hours and my father usually pops round with a marrow bone for them. If your dog requires 1 to 1 care 24/7 which i am able to carry out but pricing would have to be discussed further. Thanks for looking at my page and hope to hear from you all very soon. Im a caring single man and mad about dogs. Love going for country walks, or curled up on the sofa with a good film or program. I dont work so I can give my full attention and care to your dog. I also like going fishing to the local lake so that could be fun for the dog. I take into consideration a dogs emotions, needs and what kind of care the animal would need by conversing with the customer. Obviously each pet is different. Im very versatile and will go above and beyond to make sure there stay is really good fun.

About: I believe dogs deserve more than just quick walks and feeding -they deserve real companionship, fun, and lots of love. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get plenty of quality time, long walks, and exciting little adventures. I love taking dogs out to parks, nature trails, and even beach trips whenever possible, so they can explore, sniff, and enjoy their day instead of sitting at home bored. I’m patient, affectionate, and genuinely enjoy bonding with each dog’s personality. I am interested in dog psychology and behaviour patterns, and love learning new things about dogs every day Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m present and available for most of the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, companionship, and regular walks without them being left alone for long periods. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I also have a friendly, well-socialised Golden Retriever who loves the company of other dogs and helps visiting pups feel relaxed and at home. Each day includes proper morning and afternoon walks, playtime, and lots of quality time together. I love taking dogs to local parks, nature trails, and green spaces so they get both exercise and enrichment.

“Kathryn came and did a ‘getting to know you’ walk with our dog Tilly prior to sitting her the following week. I am very happy to be leaving Kathryn to look after our pets. She was great with Tilly and followed our advice on how to handle her.”
