Hi my name is Sarah I have lived in the surrounding areas of maidstone for over 40 years for the last 15 years I've held down a stressful job but in the last five years I had to look after my mother with dementia and unfortunately this got worse as the disease proceeded I took a year out to look after her from work, as time went by it came clear that she needed special care eventually I had to make the hardest decision to put her in a nursing home, with that I went back to work full time and quickly realise that I could not deal with the stress of being trapped within four walls so again I found myself making another big decision and that was to leave work,
I'm a caring person I have grown up with family pets all my life from a child to an adult, unfortunately, I do not have dogs now instead I have two cats Alfie and Mowgli I also take my daughters dog out for walks regularly and I discovered that I do I enjoy doing this
The services that I provide:
MEET AND GREET ......... this is free I'll come to your house and meet you and your pet I would like to do this up to 3 times if it's a dog so I can get to know you and your pet and you will get to know me ideally I would like to go for walk so that I can get to know your dogs habits and if he/she likes a slow walk or exercise on the last meeting we can discuss if it's going to work between us and what days would suit you.
PET SITTING / HOUSE SITTING ....... I will come to your house and pet sit if you are away day or the weekend or on holiday please be assured that I would treat your home as if it was mine with utmost respect I do not mind putting the Hoover around or dusting but what will be more important is that you're pets will have company and will be staying in their own environment instead of going to kennels or a cattery which could be stressful for the animal I will provide a daily diary for you if needed and keep you posted with texts and pictures if you wish. ( this is £39.00 per night ... for one dog if there’s more than dog there be additional £2.50 for each dog )
If pet sitting is not to your liking perhaps I could do a drop-in service for you.
DROP-IN SERVICE ......... I will pop into your house up to 4 times a day if that if that's what you require popping in up to 30 minutes each time where obviously I would give your pet some attention let them out in the garden and feed them if need be and clear up after them, if you're away and you just want this service I will pick up the post and open and draw the curtains morning and evening if you do have a dog and you wish for it to be walked with this Service there will be additional charge.
DOG WALKING ..... I will pick up your dog and will take him/her out for one hour obviously you can require more hours if need. Water will be provided within the walk, all I ask is when I pick up your dog that you place a collar, lead (and muzzle if needed) in an easy place so I can find them.
EVENING SITTING/DATE NIGHT..... If you want to go out for the evening but you don’t want to leave your pet for too long I’m happy to come a sit with them and keep them company and of course cuddles if needed this service is £10.00 per hour
Please note the prices will stay the same within a 5 mile radius out of that radius I will be going up slightly for petrol .....thank you
I am fully insured.

I cannot thank Sarah enough for making Pip’s holiday a stress free and uneventful one. We came home after a super break in Scotland to a cat who looked and sounded well looked after. Her coat shone and after telling us all about it, she was off out in the garden not worrying about us at all. After a bad previous experience it was a relief to us to find her so relaxed. We can now plan ahead for more holidays and will be contacting Sarah again.
Sarah visited our 3 cats whilst we were away. She gave regular updates. She also brushed and played with them, as well as the usual feeding and litter tray emptying. She also left a muslin square with her scent to help our nervous cat get used to her a few days before. She also left flowers, milk and bread on our return. I would use her again in the future.
