About: Used to breed Labradors and enjoy training puppies. Although I have not taken any training courses have trained a number of my puppies/dogs over the years. I am basically a full time pet carer/walker/house sitter. I am single and have very few other commitments. I occasionally do other part time work. I do not have pets in my own home as I share it with others. Unfortunately my flatmate does not like animals in the flat as he is allergic to animal fur.

We really needed someone to look after our dogs (two retired greyhounds) at very short notice as something unexpected had come up - thankfully Claire was able to assist us, she popped around for a meet and greet later that day and we were immediately confident that our beloved greyhounds would be in safe hands the next day! A true animal lover - we will be sure to use her services again. We highly recommend Claire.

Excellent. My nervous dog took to Amanda instantly. Went for a walk with her which she rarely does with new people. Amanda went above and beyond to ensure Maisie was relaxed and cared for. Highly recommend. Will use her again.

Dana was absolutely wonderful when she looked after Nori for me. I needed someone to go in twice during the day to walk her and feed her while I was in London. It was the first time we had met and she offered to join our morning walk to get to know both of us before spending time with Nori that day, which I’ve really appreciated. She gave me lots of updates during the day, and I felt very secure in the knowledge that Nori was in good hands. I would definitely book her again – in fact, we’ve already made a plan for the next sit! Thank you!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life and have been trusted from a young age to care for pets belonging to family and friends. This experience has helped me develop a strong understanding of animal needs, including feeding, exercise, and general wellbeing. I am highly responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing the best care for animals. I have 2 rescue dogs myself and have helped them build their courage and confidence back up to be able to go on walks with other dogs again as before they couldn’t even be in the same room as another dog. I’m a sixth form student that is happy to help care for pets whenever is needed and pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, as I’ve grown up around animals and am used to planning my day around their needs. I follow the pets routine to keep them comfortable as possible and give them plenty of attention while respecting their individual boundaries, I’m confident with my abilities such as walking, feeding cleaning and keeping their environment clean and happy.

About: I’ve owned dogs throughout my life and have always loved caring for animals, I used to regularly walk a friend’s dog and have looked after dogs for friends and family while they were away on holiday.

I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week and weekends, I am home all week and would only need to pop out for school run 3x a week 😃 I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to maintain their usual feeding, walking and play schedules. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care and regular updates while they’re with me! Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any special requirements before accepting a booking.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life, though we currently own cats, my whole extended family have dogs and I have cared for them always. Being in an active family we love long walks - which seem to make more sense with a dog in tow (or leading the way!) I work during the week, but readily available on evenings & weekends. I work term time only so available anytime throughout the week during school holidays. During school holidays I can visit as much as you might like and offer longer walks during holidays and weekends. I will meet your animals’ needs based on their personality & based on the information you provide. Providing as much play or fussing as they might like- but reading what they want as a priority as they get used to me.

About: I’ve spent the last 6+ years helping to care for my dad’s gorgeous cocker spaniel, who I absolutely love taking out for walks and spending time with. Looking after him has given me lots of hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, and making sure dogs feel happy and comfortable! I also regularly take care of my cousin’s cat, which I really enjoy. I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with pets, giving them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am currently job hunting so have plenty of availability and can be very flexible! Happy to do day time, early mornings, late evenings & weekends - anywhere you need the help! I have a fenced garden and plenty of room for your dog, I also live super close to the local park for lots of walks!

About: My love for animals started when I was young and I've had many varieties of pets ... cats, rabbits, gerbils and rats! I've done animal care and horse care courses at college. Volunteered at riding for the disabled. Volunteered for a dog & cat rescue in Costa Rica. I love all animals big and small and would love to help you out! I was able to start dog sitting more regularly in the last year as I took up a working from home job, and have throughly enjoyed getting to know my regular doggies and their owners. I have started a new 9 tp 5pm job, Monday to Friday therefore I am now not available for day care during the week. I am happy to help with boarding, weekend stays, drop in and day care on weekends, please send me a message and I will be happy to look at my schedule to see jf I can make it work! I am a qualified Occupational Therapist, so I am naturally a caring, empathetic person. I am very easy going, and am happy to tailor the pet care to your needs. I can be flexible with times and I do drive so can support with drop off/pick ups if my schedule allows. Please just let me know any queries so I can make sure to accommodate your needs and wishes as much as possible! 💫💫💫 Please message to discuss arrangements :) I am fully insured with Pet Business Insurance, which includes public liability and cover for accidents/illness while your dog is in my care. I also hold a clean DBS certificate. I have a large flat on the first floor. It has a court yard and I am 1 minute from the beach, train station and Dreamland - perfect for drop off and pick up before commuting to London, or arriving into Margate for a sunny trip to the beach, or to see a music event at Dreanland! I will respect your rules and can send you videos and pictures of your pet to reassure you! Smoke free home ✅️

About: If you are looking for a mature, reliable pet sitter then look no further! I have had over 20 years experience of pet sitting caring for cats, and dogs, old and young. There isn't much I haven't seen and I'm happy to give medication if required. I will love your animals as if they were my own giving love, cuddles and care to each and everyone one of them. I have a history of global pet sitting. Once our children flew the nest my husband and I went travelling and pet sitting globally; we were booked for 4 years solid travelling the world and looking after other peoples pets in their home. It was an enriching experience; one that I will always treasure. We have now settled back into our own home and wish to care for others' pets in our home, or in homes local to us. What I love the most is the 121 care I give for your pets, generally avoiding group pet sits. I currently work part time from home (as a researcher/project manager and wedding/funeral celebrant (Google: Celebrant Mounira for celebrant services including pet funerals) so am available all day every day for walks and care. We live close to a park and the beach so beach walks are popular! The garden is fully fenced and enclosed so all animals will be safe in the garden. Unless I know a dog very well I will do walks on the lead.

We booked Sophie for regular drop-ins over the span of two and a half weeks and honestly she has been an incredibly reliable, caring and communicative cat sitter. We could sleep easily knowing that someone responsible and genuinely good with pets is looking after our cat while we're out of the country. Dexter is usually very shy around strangers but instantly took a liking to her, which says a lot. We were concerned about letting someone we don't know have the keys to our flat for that long, but she has been nothing but respectful of our home. To sum it all up, we would definitely book her again!

About: All I’ve been looking forward to is pet care. I’ve always had a genuine love for all animals, they bring me so much joy. I’ve had pet cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I haven’t got much experience outside of my own home yet but everyone starts somewhere and hopefully for me that can be here :) I’d love to fit time with pets wherever possible. My current routine is college on Mondays and Wednesdays until 4pm and Thursdays from 2pm - 4pm. Sometimes I get 1 or 2 shifts a week but they can differ and sometimes I’m off at college. Overall, plenty of time for pet care! I’ll make sure to get all the information required for a pet. I won’t put myself in a position I don’t think I could handle as the pets safety comes first.

Christine was excellent! She came around prior to dog sitting to meet our dog Bobby and she had a nice calm approach which is great as Bobby can be nervous meeting new people. But all went great and Christine was excellent with communication throughout and gave us regular updates and sent pictures. And most importantly, Bobby was very thankful for her company. Would definitely use Christine again - thanks 👍

About: I have worked in rescue/Animal care sector for over 10 years. Recently, I was working with the Scottish SPCA where I would look after and rehome a variety of animals in my care; many of whom I had taken home to rehabilitate. I’m also heavily involved with rescue work in a voluntary setting. I homecheck, Assess, foster and transport animals. This is a big part of my life and I’m very proud of the work everyone does to help provide a safe space for neglected animals. I love working with animals that have behavioural issues (I am not a trainer/behaviourist) so I’m quite happy working with and following care plans for reactive dogs (laid out by you and/or trainer) or plans that suit the owners and their needs. I’m passionate and focused so the welfare of your animal will always come first! Please note, I do work part time so I am unable to house sit. (I do have a FB page called Scoobs Sitter) I do have experience of working and owning animals from Hamsters, Ferrets, Rats to Snakes, Cats and Dogs. I also enjoy taking photos of your animals and sending humourous messages so you know your pet is being well looked after! Please see the above information for further details on how I can help. We can also discuss further in messages and away from the site. Thanks for reading. This is not applicable to me as I am unable to offer house boarding in my own home. I am able to house sit in client homes.

Anna looked after my cat Mary and this was the first time I had been away from Mary for any length of time. Anna sent me photos and updates twice daily and Mary seemed happy and engaging with Anna which is amazing as Mary doesn't usually bother to engage with most people - including me sometimes! Anna did a fantastic job with Mary and I highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.

Thank you so much for looking after Nick whilst we were away! The updates were fantastic and really put my mind at ease :) he’s clearly been well looked after (sometimes he can be a bit subdued if we’ve been away) so would absolutely recommend Jade for cat sitting, and will definitely book again for future holidays!

Innes looked after our two cats whilst we were on holiday. Innes was very friendly, reliable and helpful throughout the whole process from arranging, visiting and dropping in whilst we were away. Our cats can sometimes seem stressed after we have been away but this was not the case with Innes looking after them. In this past, we have had friends or neighbours look after our cats, but after this we will probably rebook with Innes instead, as it is absolutely worth paying for. Thank you Innes!
