Our We Love Pets Herne Bay managers, sisters Holly and Kate, are lifelong locals who grew up with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and numerous hamsters.

Holly enjoys family life with her two young children, where the love for pets is a family tradition—her daughter’s first word was “dog,” and she often giggles at her aunt’s cockapoo, Archie. The family frequently enjoys trips to animal parks and horse riding.

Holly, Kate, and their team love meeting all the pets and their owners in the local community. They are all DBS checked, fully insured, and trained in pet first aid. They are committed to the We Love Pets promise, where pet welfare always comes first.

Dog Walking

Fun, play, and exercise are the focus of our dog walks.

Our dog walkers aim to make each walk the highlight of your dog’s day, giving them a chance to play, socialise, exercise, and explore new sights and smells, returning them home happy and tired.

Your dog’s safety is always our top priority which is why we never pack walk dogs. We want your dog to experience a fun-filled walk whilst under constant supervision, without being bombarded by lots of other dogs. Instead, our trained and trusted dog walkers will walk your dog with two doggie friends for maximum play and socialisation.

We also offer socialisation dog walks and a one-to-one dog walking service, if you have a dog who needs some alone time with their walker or wants some TLC whilst discovering the big wide world.

Pop-in Pet Sitting

Pop-in Pet Sitting

Our pet sitting services allow you to get away, happy with the knowledge that your pets will be well looked after - comfortable in their own home. Our pet sitter will spend time with your pets, make a fuss, feed, provide fresh water as required, and clear up any mess. 

Each of our pet sitters is professionally trained, vetted by us, fully insured and background checked. They also have up to date pet first aid training, for extra peace of mind. 

We look after dogs, cats, horses, ponies, small animals, and birds. Don’t worry if you have more than one pet – the more the merrier! Before you book, we will schedule a meet & greet visit to discuss your animal care routine and ensure we stick to your normal pet care practice.

Dog Sitting

Are you heading out and don’t want to leave your dog alone? Our trusted dog sitting service is here to help! Much like babysitting, our professional dog sitters come to your home to provide personalised care and companionship for your furry friend.

You can choose the hours that work best for you, and we’ll ensure your dog feels comfortable and cared for in their own home environment. This service is perfect for dogs that need one-to-one attention or feel more at ease staying in their familiar surroundings.

Whether it’s for a few hours or an extended period, our experienced team will make sure your dog has everything they need while you’re away. From feeding and playtime to cuddles and walks, we’re here to keep tails wagging!

Discover the difference of in-home care with our dog sitting services – reliable, flexible, and tailored to you and your pet’s needs.

Dog Sitting
Dog Boarding

Dog Boarding

If you can’t bear the idea of leaving your dog in kennels when you go away on holiday, then our home-from-home dog boarding service is perfect for you! Our friendly, local home boarders offer all the comforts of home.

Your dog will be welcomed into a trusted pet sitter’s home as part of their family. While you’re away, your dog will be going on a lovely holiday of their own. They will become part of the family, enjoying regular walks and plenty of individual attention. Dog boarding is perfect for dogs who get on with other dogs and people.

Our branches are full members of the PCFA, licensed, trained, insured and police checked for peace of mind. Our high animal welfare standards mean your dog won’t be mass boarded but will instead be cared for as part of the family.

Dog Boarding
Doggy Daycare

Doggy Daycare

Our doggy daycare service is perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to enjoy a day full of play, companionship, and care. At We Love Pets, we provide a safe, stimulating, and welcoming environment where your dog can socialise, explore, and relax under our team’s constant supervision.

Each day is tailored to your dog’s needs, whether they’re zooming around the garden, enjoying a scenic walk, or curling up for a cosy nap. With plenty of games, exercise, and cuddles, we’ll keep them happy and entertained.

Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are our top priorities. Our fully trained, pet first aid-certified team ensures a calm, relaxed setting with plenty of attention and care. Unlike mass boarding, we offer a home-from-home experience, treating your dog like part of the family. At the end of their fun-filled day, your dog will come home happy, content, and ready for a well-deserved rest, giving you complete peace of mind.

House Sitting

Going on holiday? Our professional house-sitting service ensures your pets remain happy and secure in their familiar surroundings while giving you peace of mind about your home’s safety.

Our experienced sitters are fully insured, police-checked, and trained in pet first aid. Before you leave, you’ll meet your sitter to discuss your needs and feel confident your home and pets are in expert hands.

We provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you’ll stay connected with your pets and home while away. From maintaining daily routines to offering loving care, our sitters make sure your pets feel at ease.

Enjoy your trip without worry—our service offers the perfect balance of pet care and home security.

Cat Sitting

Cat Sitting

Our cat sitting service keeps your feline friend happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Each visit is tailored to their routine, with plenty of playtime, attention, and all-important naps. We’ll clean litter trays, refresh food and water, and ensure your cat is content, keeping a close eye on their health and happiness.

Every cat is unique, so we take time to understand their needs. Whether they love fuss or prefer quiet companionship, our trusted sitters provide care to suit their personality.

Our cat sitting service ensures your cat stays relaxed and stress-free with loving care from our trained, pet-first-aid-certified team. You’ll also receive updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in expert hands. Let us take care of them so you can enjoy yourself worry-free!

Puppy Care

Puppy Care

At We Love Pets, we offer tailored puppy care visits to keep your pup happy, safe, and well-looked after while you’re away. Puppies need extra care and attention during their early months, and we’re here to help with visits that suit your puppy’s age, needs, and your schedule.

Our friendly team will keep your puppy entertained with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and care. Each visit can include essentials like feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, and gentle reinforcement of basic training to help your pup develop good habits.

As your puppy grows, they’ll have the chance to graduate to group dog walks with a few carefully chosen doggie friends. This is a great way to build confidence, encourage socialisation, and explore the world in a fun, safe way. You can relax knowing your puppy is in the hands of fully trained, pet-first-aid-certified carers who love dogs as much as you do!

Our favourite places to take dogs in Herne Bay

We are incredibly fortunate to have so many beautiful places to walk our four-legged friends in and around Herne Bay. Here are some of our favourites:

Herne Bay Beach – The beach is a popular spot for dog walkers, offering a long stretch of coastline where dogs can enjoy the sand and sea. During the off-season, dogs are allowed on the main beach area.

Reculver Country Park – This park provides a mix of coastal paths, fields, and historical ruins, making it a diverse and interesting place for dog walking. 

Hampton Pier Recreation Ground – Located near the western edge of Herne Bay, this area has open spaces and a seafront promenade. It’s a great spot for a leisurely walk with your dog.

Memorial Park – A well-maintained park in the heart of Herne Bay, Memorial Park offers open grassy areas, walking paths, and plenty of space for dogs to explore on a lead.

Herne Bay Downs – This area provides a more natural and rugged environment for dog walking, with trails that offer stunning views over the town and the sea. It’s ideal for dogs who enjoy a bit more adventure.
