Bex looked after my 2 dogs and 3 cats whilst I was away on holiday. She was great especially as I had a very timid dog who was very scared of people. She was very professional and caring. She texted me daily with updates of my furry friends so I knew that everything was okay. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends."

Doggie lover in Canterbury
| I'm an international student from Spain currently living in Canterbury and I miss my pets, so I would love to spend my free time giving lots of love to other dogs . I've always lived with dogs since I was a kid and I love cuddling with them and walking them. I will follow whatever the owner's rules are and I'll make sure to make your dog feel loved. I've dealt with lots of Labrador and golden retrievers, I enjoy big dogs but small dogs are also lovely! Since I'm an student I have lots of free time, specially in the morning and eventhough I don't drive, I have no problem going to wherever I'm needed. I'm also free on the weekends and most of the holidays. I can feed the dog, take them on walkies or to vet appointments! Honestly is up to the owner what I should do, I'm down to everything. I can manage with more than two dogs and I can definitely make them do exercise if they're high activity needed dogs I can respect the dog's boundaries if they don't like cuddles but if they do, I'll be giving them lots! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested,I would love to meet your dog and take care of him/her!

I am currently a student at University of Kent studying Social Sciences. I am 22 and from Thailand.
| Growing up, I've always had pets. My grandmother has a farm so I am familiar with many animals. Being away from home means that I am only able to see my cats and dogs once a year. I currently own two cats (Tabby and ragamuffin), a rottweiler and golden retriever. Knowing that I have a strong passion for caring, I think I would be suitable to care for your animals.

From one animal lover to the other, if we love them we care for them.
| I grew up with many animals (mostly, dogs, cats and reptiles) and have the skills to provide quality care for the animal and those who come into contact. I understand how important it is to listen to the owner and provide a helpful and useful service. Having been a dog, cat, fish and dragon lizard owner, I am aware of the specific needs of each animal and am very happy to share my company. I can offer house visits and take a pet home with me if necessary.

Experienced, Fun and Reliable Sitter, Walker and Feeder in Kent
| I’m thrilled to share my experiences as a dog and cat sitter, as well as a dedicated dog walker! Firstly I have a beautiful cocker spaniel called Bailey who I love taking for walks, playing games with and cuddling in the sofa! Our cat, Poppy, is sadly no longer with us but we loved sitting and stroking her everyday. We enjoy walking and like finding new adventures in the Kent countryside with our furry friends, from playful puppy antics to the serene moments spent cuddling with cats. Whether it’s taking long strolls through the park or providing comfort at home, I absolutely adore caring for your pets like they’re my own. Together with my husband we have been dog sitters and walkers for around 4 years initially looking after pets for friends and family and now have regular customers who entrust their pets to us. This has include dogs of all shapes and sizes from one of the oldest golden retrievers in the UK requiring substantial daily medical care to a bouncy sprocker pup of just 6 months! If you’re looking for someone who truly understands and loves animals, look no further!
