House Sitting Dobwalls

About: I trained me Sprocker Spaniel who is still a puppy. This involved basic commands and recall. He is well behaved, well socialised and a happy dog :) I run my own business so have good flexibility during the week and at weekends. I won't be out for more than 3 to 4 hours and I can walk, feed and socialise them inbetween. I will be there to look over them most of the day..I may leave for 3 to 4 hours but will make sure they've been walked and fed before so.

About: I have lots of experience with all different kinds of dogs including my own Pointer x Labrador dog called Poppy. I use walks as an opportunity to fine tune her training with lots of praise and treats.

“We felt totally comfortable with Cassandra looking after jock. He was instantly at ease with her. She was punctual and polite. We will definitely use her again.”

“Alison looked after Phoebe for a weekend. Phoebe immediately took to her, I got lots of updates and the house was left nice and tidy when we returned ☺️”

“Dave was brilliant with Bruce yesterday. First time we have left him with somebody other than family. He had a great time and they were best of friends by the time Dave left last night. Can’t praise him enough for how he looked after our boy. Thank you Dave. Julie”

“As a first time for having someone other than family look after our dog Bailey, I was a little nervous/anxious about the whole thing. But from our first meeting to the end of the actual booking I have been so impressed by India, I honestly have nothing but praise and gratitude for her. Bailey absolutely loves her, India has a caring warmth about her which which radiates. We were away through the heat wave and India kept us fully updated, she even brought her own cooling mat to help Bailey whilst also conversing with us if there was anything we usually do to keep Bailey cool. We were sent photos and given updates and knew we could contact India if we had any cocerns. India left our home exactly how she found it and it was great to come home and not worry about cleaning or stripping beds as India had done it for the room she stayed in. We can not recommend India enough and would be more than happy to book her again if we manage to get away! Thank you India x”

“Apologies for the delay - I came back from Ireland with a nascent cold, and have succumbed! Jo, and her partner Troy, have been brilliant sitters. Agnes, our Alsatian was relaxed and happy and clearly got on really well with both Jo and Troy, though it seems she kept up her usual preference for the man! Our house and garden were kept beautifully tidy and plants were watered as requested. We are very grateful to Jo and Troy for taking such good care and enabling us to attend our son's wedding, and hope they enjoyed their time with Agnes and on the Roseland. Many thanks, Pete & Cathy”

“Rosanna looked after our dog Orla while we were away for a week with such care and diligence she was really happy! Would highly recommend Rosanna as a trusted sitter. She provided regular updates and photos and even took Orla to the vet for me while away. Thank you Rosanna! Will definitely be in contact in future if we need more pet sitting for Orla! x”

“Alys was brilliant with my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day, and my puppy was very happy and relaxed when I got home, showing she had had a lovely day. I’ll definitely be booking with Alys again.”

“George was really understanding about Phoebe's delicate nature, and loved and looked after her as I would do. He is an excellent house guest, and I would highly recommend him. I shall be booking George again when I next go away.”

Jackie T.

“Fantastic!! My 2 dogs took to her straight away, she gave them lots of cuddles, attention and enrichment in the garden. She also left the house clean, tidy and secure. I will definitely rebook!”

About: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.

“We made a very last-minute booking with Corben while we were out for my husband’s birthday lunch. The restaurant didn’t allow dogs, and it was far too hot to leave them in the car, so finding someone at short notice was a huge relief. Corben came to our holiday accommodation to look after the dogs, which made everything so much easier. He gave us complete peace of mind, allowing us to relax and enjoy our lunch knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs clearly enjoyed their time with him and were very happy and relaxed when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Corben again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter.”

About: new to this but I have had various pets over the years, my cat is 16 years old and still going strong, no experience but willing to learn I work full time, but always free after midday, afternoon walks and check ins would all be done after this time, I drive so easy to get to places I will always follow any instructions left for me, dogs will always be kept on leads for every one's safety, dietary needs will be met

“Emma was wonderful during her recent sit for Tilly. Had a lovely meet and greet... , friendly and open. Communicated well throughout the stay and Tilly relaxed very quickly in her care and was very settled and comfortable when we arrived home.”

About: Hi, I’m Abby, I'm 22 years old and love dogs!! I had many dogs growing up and was in charge of looking after them, but unfortunately I can't have any pets now due to my lifestyle. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I love going for walks with your furry friends - I live right next to a woodland area, which is perfect for going on walks. I am a full-time nurse, working 4 days/week, and my schedule does vary by the week, but the calendar will be updated regularly. I am a full-time nurse, so I spend 4 days/week working at the hospital, however when I am not on working, I am often available. I would love to spend my days off looking after your furry friends, walking them during the day and keeping them busy! I live in a home with a small enclosed garden. My home is right next to a large park/woodland area with many paths and routes to walk your dogs.

“Thank you so much Sophie & Nick. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety. Sophie & Nick took the time to get to know him and gently introduce him. It's clear to me how much they care about dogs, as my boy was very well looked after. Sophie sent lots of photos snd regularly updated me on how he was managing. Highly recommended and will certainly book their services again.”

“Ekaterina is super attentive and supportive. She took care of our 3 pets, kept us informed with daily pictures. Super professional, I strongly recommend her.”

“Wow, we were so lucky to have found Ilona, she was the perfect person to look after our border collie, Ben. We rescued him recently and so he is quite needy and yet Ilona took everything in her stride and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. She knew exactly what Ben needed, especially in the crazy heatwave, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone to look after your dog(s). She responded very quickly to my booking request and was clear about timings and was so reliable and very trustworthy. She also kept us updated with photos and took him for walkies in the woods as it was shaded.”

About: I am currently available for the Eater Holidays! I have looked after pets since I was a child, from having rabbits, cats and most recently bringing up my own dog since he was a puppy. Whilst working from home in the last 5 years I provided daily dog care for my sister's senior pug - ensuring she was always well looked after, snuggled and walked over my lunch break I have been the primary carer for my 5 year old high energy dog, raising him from a puppy, taking charge of his training to become a well rounded obedient dog who is well socialised and has a good array of tricks/commands As a child I looked after 3 family cats 2 from kittens, through to them being senior cats and crossing the rainbow bridge 2 of which were 19 years old. I have also rescued young kittens when I came across them in abandoned box, we were with the local shelter as fosterers until they found their forever home All around, I am a fit person excited to look after your furry family and make your life a bit easier. I am pretty flexible and currently have availability whenever fits around your life :) I am currently not working, having returned from an overseas trip with my husband, so am available to fit around your schedule. I have my own vehicle, with business insurance so would be available to come take your pets on an adventure. I am also a national trust member, so beach trips or heading to Saltram House are adventures I would be happy to have. I enjoy running, so if you have a high energy dog I would, after a time be open to bringing them on 3-5km runs with me - on lead only. At the moment I am not offering at home care, as I think it is important to establish myself out of the house, with trust before bringing dogs in to my own home. I would however be happy to do some light training with dogs, including socialisation with my own dog, Max or helping them learn to settle in busier environments, or just having a good old run around.
