Cat Sitting East Devon

About: Hi! I’m a 23 year old student completing my degree and looking for part time dog walking and pet sitting jobs before starting my next course. I am organised and reliable, giving you total peace of mind when your pet is in my care. I have experience with: • Growing up with two Wire Fox Terriers. • Currently living in a family home with four small dogs. • Have given home sitting and active walks for larger breeds like Labradors. I genuinely love animals and treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm flexible, communicative, and ready to help! Weekdays (Monday – Friday): Highly Flexible between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM Because I am currently at the end of my degree, my daytime schedule is incredibly open! I am highly flexible throughout the workday, making me the perfect fit for: Midday dog walks while you are at work. Morning or afternoon drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or puppy/kitten check-ins Daytime house sitting if your pet prefers company during the 9-to-5 hours. Having looked after dogs in their own home, I know how to step into a pet's space respectfully. I will ensure they get their familiar walks or trips to the local field for play, followed by plenty of towelling off and cuddles. For Cats, I will quietly check on them, refresh water and litter boxes, and offer play or affection entirely on their terms.

“Sharon, as always, professional, friendly and was great with the kitties, always providing great updates and pictures to let me know they are well. They are getting to know her now and love being fussed. I would recommend her too anyone. Always my first pick when I go away. Sarah”

About: I’ve always been a massive dog lover and have always taken care of any dogs that I was given the chance to. My family and family friends have trusted me to walk and feed their lovely pets, aging from puppies to 13 year old doggies. I also am willing to enforce good lead and walking manner in order to keep up your pup’s training. I am unemployed at this point in time. I am pretty much free the majority of the week. I will be working by a first come, first served basis. I have a spacious fenced garden. For walks, I would ask beforehand about your pups temperament(s) so that I will be prepared if need be. I am happy to walk reactive dogs, as long as a muzzle is provided (for precautions). I would not let your pup off their lead, unless I personally can trust them with their recall. I’d let your fur baby explore some new spots, meet some new friends, and let all their energy out. If you have any queries, please contact me for any more details!

“Alex has been really good with Gizmo (a puppy)—he took to her straight away. She’s very personable and was friendly and easy to talk to from the first meeting. She’s been really flexible, reliable, and quick to respond, even with me changing dates. I’ve felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Would definitely recommend 👍”

About: Hello! My name is Emily and I am 21. I have grown up with a terrier-spaniel cross breed since I was 7 and I have knowledge in puppy care and high senior care because of this! Comforting my dog in her last days of life has been an honour, and I wish to comfort any age of animal for however long I can because I know how deeply important it is for that pet to feel positivity, fun and love. I have a full clean UK driving license and a provisional moped license. Currently volunteering at the Cats Protection League in Exeter. Furthermore; I have fostered with Feline Network (July24-January25). My puppy care consists of keeping them busy, playing, walking, letting them rest, feeding them and to keep them safely socialised. I am also comfortable with cleaning up messes! My senior care for dogs consist of handling the animal comfortably, playing when they aren't too tired to, feeding them, helping with medication feeding and giving them some patient walks or garden time. I also have general other pet care considering hamsters, guinie pigs, rabbits, chickens, fish and others. I have many days and nights free to pet sit and socialise. I am currently working close to full time with split shifts but with your dates and timings I could alternatively easily help out:) I am able to crate your dog if need be. Give them consistent walks, toilet breaks and play time whilst dog sitting. I would easily keep a close eye on pets to always check in on them especially if they have any health issues, but also in social interactions to keep them and others safe. I would also keep all dogs on a lead for walks unless told or agreed with otherwise.

“Highly recommend Erica. Her communication was brilliant, on time, reliable. Our boys seemed very happy! Thank you so much!”

About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home

“Thank you for looking after our cat! Catherine is friendly, responsive, punctual, and definitely an animal person. It is great to go away and not worry about our old boy.”

“Angel was very friendly, attentive to our cats, and updated us with pictures of what they’ve been up to while we were away. Would recommend booking with her. ”

“I was worried about leaving my cat for 2 weeks but felt very reassured that she was taken good care of with Hilary, who has a real genuine love of cats and made sure that Frida had all her needs met.”

“Molly is the first time Hector has had a sitter who’s not a friend. I’m delighted with her care for him. He’s calm and looking well fed and combed! Molly followed the instructions I left and what was so helpful were her messages and photos to assure me 20 year old Hector was just doing fine. Molly is a natural communicator and always replies to any messages. I’m very grateful and would recommend Molly to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful and well organised sitter. Thank you Molly 🐈”

About: I’m a massive animal lover and am a proud owner of two gorgeous cats, Ruby and Oscar- both adopted from unkind homes (Oscar was terrified to begin with and would pee everywhere for months and Ruby was hissing constantly & very scared. Now Oscar’s toileting troubles are under control and he’s growing in confidence day by day and Ruby is the most outgoing friendly cat I’ve ever met introduces herself to all!), and a lovely senior rescue dog from Bulgaria named Rosa. Rosa is dog mad gets so happy any time she sees one she breaks out of her anxious shell that her past has given her (she was previously used for breeding in Bulgaria kept on a chain and then dumped on a rubbish pile once they found out she had a mammary tumour poor thing). The cats are also fairly used to dogs as we’ve fostered a very bouncy collie shepherd rescue before as well as a Labrador puppy. We've also had or looked after small animals such as guinea pigs (I’ve had up to 30 in total but don’t anymore, used to rescue them) , rats (have only had female rats personally), hamsters (Syrians and Russian dwarfs) and have minor experience with reptiles & insects like bearded dragon and stick insects and am happy to care for any animal with the right instructions! I’m capable of bathing any pet that requires it, I can also carry out nail trims for guinea pigs as this is something I had to do a lot when I was rescuing them. I usually work in an early years setting with young children but during the holidays off all I’m doing is planning for my wedding (exciting I know!!) so have plenty of time to care for any pet that needs it! I’m happy to take on multiple and can come to your home if needed but due to my own pets I’d rather it be my own home however this is something I’m more than happy to discuss! I love walking and playing with dogs and cats too! Big or small doesn’t bother me! I have a fully enclosed fenced back garden to keep your pet safe. I have a two calm yet playful dogs and two cats to keep your pet company. I’m happy to adapt to your pet whatever their needs are. I live near the honiton bottom estuary so they’re are plenty of nice walks and am familiar with many areas in Devon and Cornwall! I’m pretty flexible at the moment but rest assured whatever is decided all I want just like you is for your pet to feel safe and comfortable and you feel at ease about it. More than happy to arrange meet and greets to get to know each other or go on dog walks together previously.

About: I have over 20 years of experience with caring for and fostering all different breeds of dogs aswell as working in a dog groomers and working at a cattery, where I looked after tiny newborn kittens to elderly or disabled cats. Ever since I was born I've been around all types of animals (horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, and lizards to name a few) and I love nothing more than spending time with them. I start my new job down in Devon in May so I have plenty of availability up until that time. I am happy to do pet visits, walks or sitting jobs any time of the day and any day of the week! I will always provide a fresh supply of water, give your pets so much love and attention or their own space if they want. I am happy giving pets medication orally if they require as I am experienced with doing this. I am also more than happy to find a nice park to take your dog for a walk if you would like :)

“Lara is great, reliable and trustworthy!”

“Debbie was fantastic with Chewie while we were away! It was the first time we'd left her for more than a couple of nights - Debbie sent us lovely updates and images of her daily visit. Chewie was super happy to see us when we got home - but I could tell that she had been well loved and looked after while we were away! Would highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: My family got our first dog at aged 10, and our second when I was 17. I have cared for them both since they were puppies- teaching them to wait for food, fetch, lie down and even high five! As my first dog got older, I learnt how to be respectful of him as he didn't want to be played with all the time and was slightly more temperamental. This taught me to be patient and how to be around older dogs. Our second dog is a playful cocker spaniel with bundles of energy, always wanting to go on walks, which I am of course happy to do! I can therefore care for dogs of all ages and of many different natures as each one is unique and special in their own way. I am available anytime between 22nd July and 1st September. If I am unavailable, my sister can usually cover bookings- she is a Uni student studying animal science and bioveterinary course so has lots of experience with animals! I am able to do house visits and am happy to feed, play with or even just sit with the dog to keep them company! I can have pets in my home, but only if they get on with other dogs and small animals. I can do a whole day visit, a quick stop in, or I can take them on walks. I will send pupdates throughout the day of your fur babies so you don't have to stress while you're away from home!

“Thank you so much to Agata for a wonderful Christmas visit looking after our cats, birds and house. We are so very grateful to Agata for the 5 star care and love that she shows our pets. We highly recommend Agata!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and now have 2 dogs of my own. They both crazy spaniels, who are 10 years old and 2 years old. I have experience with many dog breeds due to looking after family and friends dogs, for example border collies, husky and labradors. I have used rover multiple times to find dog care for my own pets so I understand the trust and responsibility given to care for your furry animals I am currently working part time in the East Devon area so will have plenty of time to look after your pets. I am available weekdays and early morning weeks ends but I am flexible to see if I can work around your schedule that would best suit you and your pets. I am able to drive to your house to either sit in and look after your pet or am happy to take them out for a walk and chill with them afterwards.

About: I’ve lived with both cats and dogs from a young age so I have lots of experience caring for animals. I now regularly pet sit for friends and family as I am renting and can’t have my own. I can provide fun, love and care tailored exactly to your animals specific needs. I’m fully flexible with availability any day or time of the week, this is my only job so I can work completely around your schedule and at your convenience. I have experience dealing with nervous animals if your pet is wary of strangers. I take my time and never rush them, giving them lots of space and treats until they feel more comfortable.
