Dog Walking Tenterden

About: Hi, I’m Zimi! 🐶 I’ve been caring for pets for around 20 years, including running my own dog walking and pet sitting business and studying animal care in college. Along the way, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older dogs, and even travelling across Europe helping large groups of rescue dogs. This gave me lots of experience reading dog body language, understanding different temperaments, and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. I have experience with training and mental stimulation with fun games! I also have my own rescue dog who is reactive, which has taught me a lot about patience, calm handling, and understanding anxious or shy dogs. Because of this, I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra reassurance and care. Right now, I don’t host dogs at my home, but I love walking, visiting, and spending time with pets in their own environment, giving them plenty of love, attention, and fun while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or shy and slow-paced, I adjust my approach to suit their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need a calm presence, extra reassurance, or gentle handling. I’m currently working part time with an incredibly flexible schedule, so please feel free to ask about any timings that you might need and we can go from there. I take the safety and wellbeing of every pet very seriously. Every walk, visit, and in-home stay is carefully planned to ensure your dog or cat feels secure, happy, and comfortable! I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and cues, so pets always feel supported and stress free. I provide a calm, structured environment, whether we’re walking outside, exploring new spaces, or staying at home. For pets with special needs, anxiety, or shyness, I’m especially attentive and patient, making sure routines are followed and pets feel safe. I communicate openly with owners, sending regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I strive to create an environment where pets and their humans feel confident and relaxed. I am very empathetic and understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I strive to deliver a service I myself would be happy with.

About: I'm a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they get the exercise, affection, and routine they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m a firm believer that pets are family. Whether it’s a long walk in the woods or a quiet evening on the sofa, life is just better with a furry companion by your side. I am home with my furbabies enjoying walks and cuddles everyday. I offer quality care in my home for boarding dogs, and doggy visits. We treat every dog as one of the family. Our two friendly spaniels love to play in our big secure garden and explore the countryside around us. They enjoy meeting new friends and welcoming them into our home.

“We couldn’t be happier that we found Vicky to walk our dog. Vicky is quick on rover communication responses, she’s on time with the scheduled walk each time! She includes nice write up and pictures of each walk, which are so pleasant to read! We absolutely love it!”

About: Hello, I am Jess and I’m a gardener currently living on the Great Dixter estate while completing a year-long horticultural scholarship. I’ve spent the last few years working in gardening, community growing and farm environments, so I’m happiest outdoors and very comfortable around animals. I’m active, practical and reliable, and love a proper walk in all weathers – so dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring are very welcome! I drive, so I’m happy to take dogs further afield for countryside and woodland walks, or even trips to the coast and beach where appropriate and agreed with you. Alongside my scholarship, I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins and house sitting, particularly during evenings and weekends, with some flexibility. As a gardener, I’m also very happy to water plants and keep an eye on the garden while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’m respectful, tidy and conscientious, will follow your pet’s usual routines carefully, and am always happy to send photos and updates while they’re in my care. I’m calm, reliable and genuinely love spending time outdoors with animals — whether that’s a gentle walk for an older dog or an energetic play session for a younger one. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, ensuring they feel safe, happy and cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy local carer who treats every pet as if they were their own, I’d love to help. With experience caring for a 5-year-old Labrador with cancer, I’m comfortable handling medication, managing special diets, and providing a calm, supportive environment for dogs with unique health concerns. My focus is always on your pet’s comfort and well-being, ensuring peace of mind while you're away. I’m currently based on the Great Dixter estate while completing a horticultural scholarship. My work is practical and outdoors-based, and I have flexibility around evenings, weekends and days off for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I drive, so I’m also able to travel locally and can discuss what works best for your pet’s usual routine. I’m reliable, practical and respectful of both your pet and your home. I’ll always follow the routines and instructions you give me, including feeding, walks, medication, access to the house and any particular rules your pet is used to. I’ve worked in gardens, farms and community settings where being responsible, observant and safety-conscious is an important part of the job. I’m also very happy to send regular photos and updates while you’re away. In a pet owner’s home, I follow your specific instructions closely, keeping your dog in their regular environment where they feel most at ease. I stay vigilant about locking doors, monitoring their surroundings, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: Current carer for 3 whippets. I have experience of bringing up puppies, caring for seniors, including with health issues and helping rescue dogs. Retired partner of Redhound. My wife and I are semi-retired so I can be very flexible. We have three whippets so the main consideration is ensuring they have care which we can manage between us For our dogs we ensure that the garden is secure and safe. Our road is quiet but we always put them on a lead when leaving the house, even if it us just to the car. We have a nervous rescue dog so do consider interaction with other dogs when meeting on walks.

“Kellyanne was on time, the dogs immediately loved her and they came back very content :) Now both snuggled up in their bed fast asleep. Just what they needed! Kellyanne went above and beyond to help me out as one of the kids had 'borrowed' Annie's collar for their toy and was no where to be seen an hour before their walk. So Kellyanne bought her own collar for Annie to wear! We are so grateful. See you soon :)”

About: I have walked and looked after dogs since 2023. I have always had a passion for dog breeds since I was very young. I have studied dog behaviour and temperament for a wide variety of dog breeds, in all categories from working, pastoral, gundog, toy, terrier, and utility. I am very happy to look after senior dogs and puppies. If you need a helping hand in the day or a sitter overnight, I am happy to help. I am a university student who studies from home for most of the week. At this current moment in time, I am at home for 7 days a week due to my first semester starting in late September. I am very active and love walking, I also paint and draw during the day, so if your dog prefers to sleep and rest, I am happy to keep them company as well. I live in a detached house with a medium sized garden that is secured. My family has one dog, a 6 year old golden retriever. She is friendly and likes to rule to roost.

About: Hello! I have over six years of experience working with animals and grew up with two dogs, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I recently moved back from New York, where I looked after three dogs part-time alongside my acting career. I'm reliable, nurturing, and absolutely adore animals. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. work from home with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I also work as a performer, so much of my work involves auditions and self-taping from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive care and regular updates to pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's routine as closely as possible. In a pet owner's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages. I also respect the owner's home and leave everything clean and tidy. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and preferences.
