Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-sitting/walking in Penzance
I love animals and am keen to work over the summer break. I've helped look after rescue dogs for many years so have a particular understanding of their needs.
Cat care experience
Finlay also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love playing with dogs and, having lived with rescue dogs before, I understand their body language and know when to give them space. I don't offer dog-sitting in my home.
Ratings and reviews
My dogs loved Finlay the moment they met him. One of my girls is very reactive and she’s my barometer when she meets someone new - if she likes someone then they are definitely ok. Phoebe was besotted and Maisie also. Finlay sent some lovely pics and videos which was very reassuring.
Finley took fantastic care of Luna and Lilith while we were away. We received great daily updates with photos, and the communication was excellent throughout, which gave us real peace of mind. They have such a friendly, welcoming, and family-oriented approach, and it was obvious our pets were treated as if they were part of the family. Luna and Lilith were happy, relaxed, and very well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Finley again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
I can’t recommend Finlay highly enough! He has been an absolute star in helping me care for my Irish Wolfhound, Marvin. Whether it’s walking, dog sitting, or just keeping Marvin company, Finlay shows such patience, reliability, and genuine care. Marvin can be a handful at times, but Finlay handles him with confidence, kindness, and a natural ease that really puts me at peace. It’s been such a huge support knowing Marvin is in safe, capable hands. Thank you, Finlay, you’ve been amazing!
