“My puppy was very well taken care of and was extremely happy to go on a walk with Charlotte. Charlotte is welcoming toward new dogs and is a great fit for my dog”
About: Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets! I have my own rescue dog who I adopted over a year ago, and I’ve grown up around animals—including Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Great Danes, and a lifelong love of cats. I currently own a hamster and have experience with reptiles like tortoises, snakes, and lizards thanks to my grandparents. Whether it’s long dog walks, cuddle time, or keeping your pet’s routine just right, I’m here to care for them like they’re my own. I currently work a zero hour contract in a cinema and am pretty flexible with enough noticed to work around your schedule! I have my own dog that I walk twice a day who is super friendly and loves other dogs to play with! I would build your pets trust getting to know their personality to ensure they feel safe and are happy to see me. I am respectful and polite, happy to give lots of cuddles and the occasional treat. Whether it’s nip in to change their food or snuggle them overnight happy to be their companion and make it as seamless and relaxed as possible

I also regularly dog-sit for family and friends, so I understand how important it is to provide loving, reliable care. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pup will be in safe and caring hands with me! I’m currently working full time, however I have weekends and all day Fridays, I work from home therefore I have plenty of free time for your pets! They will go on lovely walks with me, be well looked after and given lots of cuddles! I have my own back garden, that is full fenced and private! I have no children just a partner and a beautiful dog who is very friendly and gets on with all dogs!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have cared for pets my whole life. I currently have an excitable, affectionate Vizsla named Nutmeg who keeps me on my toes! I’ve also looked after neighbours’ dogs over the years, including George, a gentle three-legged lurcher. I have currently just finished uni for this academic year so I am free for most of the summer and most days of the week. Whether it's energetic pups or older companions, I’m confident in providing kind, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. Above all, I make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and right at home, whether we're out on an adventure or just having a quiet stroll.

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.

We have a beautiful very friendly male sprocker spaniel (1 years old) that would love a friend to visit and play with. We do have two children so your dog would need to be good with children if we are caring for them out of school hours. We can provide walks, cuddles and lots of play to make your pup feel at ease whilst you’re away! 🐾 Me and my partner work weekdays but we are available most weekends do go on dog walks or care for your doggy and look after them overnight. I have a secure closed in back garden and we are nearby parks and lots of countryside. Our spaniel loves his long walks and cuddles in the evenings on the sofa.

Becky D.
“Becky for as long as I can remember has loved animals, she’s had them all, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, you name it. But throughout the years she’s always had dogs, they are her favourite. It’s always been a passion of hers to care for animals and watch them learn and grow and live a happy fulfilling life, she has had big dogs such as a German Shepard, always taking her on long walks and took her to puppy training, and even little dogs too. She always welcomes my three dogs, a big Airedale, an English bulldog, and a French bulldog into her home, to play and be welcomed by her lovely sprocker spaniel, despite them all being a handful! I would trust her any day with one of my dogs, knowing they are in safe hands and will be loved to the fullest.”
