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: 🐾💛 Welcome to Biscuit Break Pet Care 💛🐾 Hello! My name is Lauren (Ren), and I created Biscuit Break Pet Care, a professional, compassionate and continually developing pet care service based in Smarden, serving the surrounding local villages and Ashford area. 🏡🐾 With over four years of personal animal care experience, alongside professional experience within kennels, catteries, dog walking and pet-sitting businesses, I have cared for a wide variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own individual personality, routine and needs. My approach to pet care is centred around comfort, welfare, low-stress handling and individualised care. I believe pets should be given the time, patience and understanding they need to feel safe and comfortable, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, enrichment, maintaining a familiar routine, or simply allowing a more nervous pet to have space and settle at their own pace. 💛 I currently provide care for a wide range of companions, including dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, aquatics and amphibians. 🐶🐱🐹🦜🦎🐠🐸 Biscuit Break Pet Care is fully insured and DBS checked, and I am continually expanding my knowledge through further education and training, including comprehensive Pet First Aid & CPR training across multiple species. My long-term goal is to continue developing Biscuit Break into a knowledgeable, welfare-focused pet care service, with further education in areas such as animal behaviour, enrichment, species-specific care, low-stress handling and more specialist animal welfare. 🎓🐾 Whether you are going away on holiday, working long hours, taking on extra shifts, or simply need some additional support with your pets, I aim to provide reliable and compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while your pets remain in the environment they know best. All new clients receive a complimentary initial meet and greet before their first booking, along with a welcome packet providing all the details and information on what we do.

Flexible schedule for you within my care. Contact me about the times and I will be sure to provide details for you as soon as possible. I do work but only for one day a week the others are reserved for any free activities or college I will feed them, pet them, make sure they are happy and to bring you the owner a happy animal when you come back from your business.

“Victoria can always get our dog to go on long walks without us, which is no mean feat. She knows how to motivate reluctant dogs, and we'll always prefer her when looking for a walker.”

“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: 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.

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.

About: I have had dogs all my life and worked in a pet supply store - I currently have a chocolate lab and two jack russells so I am used to any size, any energy level and any temperament! I am currently in between jobs for a month so I am available on weekdays throughout the whole day. I am fit and active so happy to go on long walks if needed, also happy to play at home with your dog or just keep them company. I am very happy to accommodate the needs of any dog - just let me know if they prefer quiet company or if they want to be a lot more active.

“Laura was really amazing and trustworthy. Apollo thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her and was completely knackered after the walk. Will book her again.”
