About: Having worked in a vets for many years, and having grown up around dogs, Matt and I are a safe pair of hands. Most recently, we lived with my flatmates husky, and therefore spent alot of time walking, socialising and looking after him. Matt and I both work full time, but generally 3-4 days from home. We love walking, and would love to add your dog into our routine. We would be looking for a dog in the Tonbridge area. We have a fenced garden with side access, and also plenty of space inside for the dog to make the house their home. We can also easily seal off rooms if required.
About: I have had cats guineapigs. Rabbits. Gerbils and even pet snails in my care. And the odd reptile too! All loved, cared for equally each visit is special! The puppy and dog drop in visits are ideal for puppies that are too young to go out. Or dogs that are struggling to walk and just need a toilet break and a fuss. Pet care is my focus. So your pets will get 100% attention from me. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon! Thank you! I don't care for in my home. I prefer to do drop in visits to the pets home where they may feel more comfortable and settled. Happy pets!
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was very young, growing up with both dogs and cats and developing a genuine love for animals of all kinds, including rabbits and hamsters. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a small Bichon Frise, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Because I have my own dog at home, I focus on caring for small and medium-sized breeds, where I can ensure a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. While I don’t take on larger breeds, I’m more than happy to provide attentive, reliable care for smaller dogs—whether that’s walks, day sitting, or home visits. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. My schedule is provided a week in advance, so it can vary slightly from week to week. However, this also allows me to plan ahead and offer good availability for pet care. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m flexible when it comes to arranging walks or home visits in advance. I always do my best to help As a pet owner, I make my dog Freddy’s happiness and wellbeing a top priority. He gets plenty of walks every day—even if that means spending my work breaks outside with him. We usually enjoy shorter walks around the block or by the river, along with one or two longer walks in the park for extra exercise and stimulation. At home, I’ve created a very dog-friendly environment filled with toys, cozy blankets, and (of course) treats. While the whole house is welcoming to dogs, the sofa is definitely a favourite spot for relaxing and feeling comfortable.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs that range from cocker spaniels to labradors for the past 3 years. My experience include house sitting and many muddy walks. I’ve looked after dogs with very different personalities whether that’s shy or friendly. I’m currently an online student, so dog sitting is the perfect thing to fit into my schedule. Apart from the gym of a morning I am able to be at home with the dog for most of the day. When it come to caring for a dog in their own home I will always follow what the owner has told me, my main aim as a dog sitting it to ensure that the dog isn’t being taken out of it usual routine and environment.
About: I have dog sat over the years mainly for family and from a young age took up dog walking for family friends. I took up dog sitting on a casual basis shortly after I moved into my own place in Paddock Wood in 2022 as we would love to have a dog of our own but with my job at the time it wasn't possible full time so I decided to offer my services on weekends/evenings to others when they need someone to look after their fur babies. I can offer doggy day care, drop ins, house sits & boarding within the Paddock Wood and surrounding areas. Since joining Rover in 2023 I have provided care for over 15 dogs. Please feel free to drop me a message if you require my services or have any questions at all! I do always offer meet and greets for newcomers so they are familiar with me before their stay etc. and can also offer regular walks/meet and greets for any anxious pups that require a little more time to get to know a new sitter. I have recently moved into my own home with my partner and we would love to have a furry friend to take on walks and give us company around the house as with our working schedules at the moment having a doggy of our own isn't possible. My home is set back in a private road with a fenced secure garden area and there are no children or other pets living with us.
“In order to meet us and our cat before starting, Jackie paid us a first visit. She is extremely friendly and reliable and our cat has truly been spoilt. Jackie has looked after our pet as if she was her own and has sent us a daily update as well as great photos. I recommend Jackie’s services if you need a friendly pet sitter. Catherine”

About: I have had pets all my life from cats, tortoise, hamsters and dogs and often cared for friends’ pets. I treat every pet like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior needing extra comfort. Pet care fits easily into my routine as I already care for my own cat daily and I look after my landlords dogs time to time. I finish work at 5pm, so I’m available most evenings, and I also have weekends off. Since I can work remotely twice a week, I’m flexible and able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need whenever you’re away I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and loved while you’re away, my whole family is in spain so when I am going away I can only trust Sephi to closest people.In your home, I’ll always follow your routines closely whether it’s feeding times, playtime, or keeping litter trays fresh so your pet feels comfortable and secure.
About: I’ve dog and cat sat for as long as I can remember, a drop in to feed a neighbours cat or looking after a friend’s new puppy overnight.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m free before 8:30 and after 6pm. If available I could also do weekends! I have no animals myself so no problem bringing a pet to mine, also very contactable to pop by yours for a drop in or walk

“Absolutely lovely, punctual and professional. My cat is not usually cuddly but with Lara he was all about the purrs, that’s an indication of the person’s good vibes. Very grateful we had her taking care of our beloved little furry one.”
About: Hi there fellow cat people! My name is Emily and I’m 28, my passions in life are animals (especially cats, art, music and books! I have 2 gorgeous black cats of my own, one is a 14 year old who I raised from the day they were born in our rabbit hutch and a 5 year old lock-down kitty. I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have also volunteered a couple times at SCAR (animal rescue) in the cattery, and a wildlife conservation centre in Bali. So I have extensive experience with pets in general, but cats are my true love. My experience also highlights my passion for animal rights and fighting against animal cruelty, so I hope you can trust your animals will be in the best care.
“Carrie is absolutely awesome! I cannot say nice enough things about her. She started drop ins for us just as my pup decided to be scared of strangers! Carrie was patient and caring and now my puppo tells her off for leaving. 100% would recommend this amazing lady.”
About: Since I was young, cats have been a constant part of my life, so I have developed a lot of knowledge knowing how to care for them and keep them entertained. I love that when I come home from work I can always come home to my cats and they are usually waiting for their dreamies as I walk through the door. I am patient, calm, and intuitive, always knowing when to give them space and when they might want a little affection. I currently work as a laboratory technician at a grammar school in Tonbridge, however on my weekends I volunteer at my local charity which cares for rescue horses. My new additions are called Ned and June and me and my family rescued them from a lovely charity where we have now seen them turn into brave and confident characters who love lots of kisses and cuddles. I work full time in a school but due to experience on cat in a flat I have been able to fit in looking after cats before and after work. I also get half term breaks off where I am fully flexible. I am able to drive so I can do house visits to feed, fuss and pamper if necessary. I understand the importance of making sure they have food and water readily available for them and a clean litter tray. Any additional requirements that you may like I will be more than willing to do.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Tonbridge is £13

Cheryl has just looked after our boy for the week and he looks as if he has lapped up all the attention. We would highly recommend Cheryl’s services, she has not only looked after our cat but also our house too. Thank you so much for taking such great care whilst we have been away. We look forward to using Cheryl again in the future. Thank you!
This was our first time using Weslie as a cat sitter, I could not recommend her enough! She really went above and beyond to take care of our two cats and the updates and photos that she sent to us were so detailed, we will definitely be using her again in future!!
Abby is an amazing cat sitter! Greatly reliable, extremely intelligent and very caring. She’s someone you can really trust to be there for your kitty. She went an extra mile with care and cleaning when we had an incident with robot vacuum and cat’s 💩 I would definitely recommend her to everyone and looking forward for her to look after Bella again in future!
Katie looked after our cat during the heatwave and was simply amazing. She kindly offered to pop in additionally to check how she was handling the heat, and really put me at ease. I received all the updates and photos, and I knew our cat was in good hands. Will definitely be booking Katie again.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
