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. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon 🥰 I own a dog walking and pet sitting business so your pet will be my only focus. 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. During day care dogs are offered a walk (weather dependent e.g heat wave) as well as food and lots of cuddles and play time.

About: I have had dogs since a child, I have always had dogs in my family as an adult, I have bred a few litters of puppies, trained my dogs, walk them every day, I groom my own dogs as well as others, I treat basic health issues. I’m sensitive to each individual dogs needs whether it’s exercise or time on their own. I believe I can read a dog’s body language and behaviour. I am firm but fair and find dogs like my routine. I am covered by my own pet insurance in case of emergencies. I’m retired so I’m at home as much as I want to be, I’m up early and can adopt any routine to suit any visiting dog, I have family and visiting grandchildren who would be supervised around any visiting dog, we all love dogs and they play a big part of our life. I generally do one big walk a day, forests, woods, parks, open land, beaches, I love walking and enjoy taking the dogs with me. I’m often working outside in the garden and the dogs love being free to explore the garden and checking up on me. I have a miniature poodle, my children have a toy poodle, a Cavapoo and a lurcher, all our dogs are well socialised and get along with other dogs. At the moment I have 2 dogs on the property, they get walked every day but I have 6 acres they can explore all day, they can go outside when they please, or they can also slob about on the sofas, play together or with their toys. Any visiting dog would be treated like my own. My dogs don’t need crate time but I'm happy to use a crate if a dog prefers the security of a limited area. Any new dog who comes for the day or boarding I will ask you to fill out a questionnaire so I know everything about your dog’s routine and care instructions, I want your dog to feel at home as much as possible.

“Pepper was very happy to see Jess who looked after her really well for the day. Looking forward to leaving Pepper for a weekend with Jess in a few weeks time”

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.

About: I have had dogs all my life. I’ve helped raise two litters of puppies and spent the beautiful last few years with the dogs I grew up with. I’m currently a student so regular breaks from university work while looking after you beautiful fur baby is ideal for a happy life for us both. Constant company and regularly toilet breaks that fit with your dog’s schedule are vital for a happy and healthy dog. As well as fitting in the most important part of the day - DINNER

About: I offer care for local dogs, day visits and boarding with excellent feedback. Our three year old Vizsla Luna loves other dogs and is always happy to have a play mate. I am always at the cottage to give your fur baby the time and affection it needs to feel comfortable whilst you are away from them. We have a large fenced in garden, we are surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastline which we enjoy walking for several hours a day. My vizsla Luna will keep your baby company and help them settle in perfectly.

About: Myself and my husband Joe work along side each other to take care of your fur babies. We have taken care of lots of different types of dogs over the years. When I was 7 I helped my mum looking after hamsters and rabbits when people went on holiday. I currently work part time so have plenty of time to play and fuss your fur babies. I am also really flexible with times and days. We live in a quiet area which is lovely and calm for animals. The garden is just under an acre so plenty of space to play ball and run around.

About: I have knowledge based on the research I do for my own pets, a cat, dog, and lizard. I do extensive research on specific breed behaviours and have a high energy dog that I trained myself and walk daily, as well as give enrichment games & toys. I’m a stay at home mum with an under 1 year old, and my kelpie girl Sandy. I am available any day of the week! I would respect your rules, wishes, guidelines, anything! My first priority is a safe, happy pet. Secondly, I never leave a trace, only footsteps! I take nothing, but pictures :)

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.
