“Nick and his family were all super lovely. Great communication and were able to take care of Prince on such short notice which I am very grateful for. I would definitely recommend and look forward to Prince staying with them again!”


“My Labrador stayed with Sarah and her family for a week - he isn’t used to staying with strangers but Sarah clearly made him feel safe and comfortable. Sarah took the trouble to meet us for a walk before his stay and sent me lovely photos of him most days, enjoying the sea, swimming in the river and having a happy time with her dog. I would definitely recommend Sarah and I’m positive Jacob would be very happy to stay with her again.”


“Another fantastic stay. Ruby has had a lovely day with Mala! Talita and Neil are absolutely brilliant and take such good care of Ruby. Looking forward to using them again and I know Ruby can't wait!”


“My vizsla Ruby had a wonderful day, Cleo and her partner took her out on an adventure to Exmoor and cared for her in their home. I had on collection a very sleepy pup which is a great sign. Would definitely recommend and I will be a repeat customer, thank you both!”


“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Yves!! Drew had an absolutely perfect week with her & Nick & sent me gorgeous daily photos and videos & kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind initially but also brought me so much joy as I missed her so much. She was so well taken care of & had an amazing social life going to a family bbq & out & about locally to parks & gardens every day & socialising with other dogs. I thoroughly recommend Yves, especially as Drew is not fully housetrained due to her age & being a Frenchie, she wasn’t phased in the slightest & has become very fond of Drew - I’m booking her again for two weeks time! Thank you so much Yves & Nick for making Drew so happy & treating her as if she were your own, she certainly loves you ♥️”


“First, what an amazing couple, who looked after our dog Pixie with short notice. Pixie is very energetic and a handful. They both handled her with care and put in extra effort. When we came to pick her up, she was clam, happy and relaxed. I can't thank them enough for taking care of Pixie.”


“We needed somewhere for our 11 year old black lab Blake to stay when our daughter got married in Cullompton Devon. Blake stayed with Jan & Ed from Thursday to Saturday. Jan kept me updated with how Blake was which enabled us to relax & enjoy our daughter’s wedding day without having to worry about Blake. Jan & Ed are such a lovely couple who clearly love dogs & Blake was relaxed & happy when we picked him up on Saturday.He,d had a lovely time🐾🩵 So thank you Jan & Ed for looking after Blake so so well & allowing us to enjoy our special weekend. I would totally recommend them both & wont hesitate to book Blake another little holiday with them. Thank you 🐾xxx”


“Karen was brilliant, at such short notice agreed to have dolly while I was abroad, every day I was told about her antics and what they got upto wether they were good or bad! And lots of photos throughout her stay to put my mind at rest! I can’t thank and recommend Karen enough! X”


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 as it’s now the summer holidays 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! Smaller animals are just as fun. I have a fully enclosed fenced back garden to keep your pet safe. I have a very friendly dog 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.
“Poppy had a great time - we were sent photos of her being walked and snuggled in her bed. Maggie and her family really looked after her and saves us the worry - would definitely stay there again - thank you ?”


“Thank you so much for looking after Woody again, he really loves staying with you 😁 We highly recommend Charlotte - she is so calm and kind. She puts our minds at rest with regular messages / photos. Thank you again Charlotte - you are a superstar!”


“Kerry was amazing at looking after our dog for 8 nights while we were away. He clearly had a wonderful time with them and I will definitely be sending him here for love, attention and fab walks next time we go away. Thank you Kerry :-)”


“Amy is a great dog sitter! She was highly responsive to my messages and was happy to come for a meet and greet before we confirmed our booking - she gave up her lunchtime to come and visit! During Archie’s time with her, Amy kept in contact and sent photos. She even gave him a good brush! He clearly had a lovely time with her and came home happy and relaxed. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Thanks Amy!”


“Luna had great stay defo use again .mollie was gteat”


“After deciding last minute to get a sitter as we were going on our hols we reached out to Fang who took him in. I would definitely recommend her, she is very attentive & treats your cat like it's her own. We had regular updates & pics through the week that kept us reassured. If you are looking for someone who treats your pets lovingly in their home, spoils them & lets them feel totally at home Fang is definitely the sitter for you. Thank you so much, will definitely take our kitten back if needed.”


“Ellie was extremely well looked after with Karen! When we picked her up, she was happy and a little sleepy - perfect after we'd travelled home and were feeling a little sleepy ourselves! Thank you Karen - I'd happy use your services again and would recommend you to anyone!”


About: Looking for a peaceful home for your dog while you're away? We offer a calm, smoke-free household with no children and one friendly 12-year-old Poochon for gentle company. We're home full time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, cuddles, and care throughout the day. We welcome well-behaved dogs with calm temperaments, and especially love low-shedding breeds like poodle crosses, but we're happy to consider others too. Your dog will feel safe, loved, and part of the family during their stay. Get in touch, we’d love to meet you and your doggo :) We both work full-time (although we have Wednesday’s off) and are both home-based so at least one of us will be around all the time. We have a good sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. We have one dog ourselves who is crate-trained. We would ask that you also provide a crate for your dog to sleep in at night or on the occasional time we both need to pop out briefly.

“Fiona took excellent care of our 14-month-old dog Zoya. She had a great time and returned home with a new (favourite) toy. Thank you for your outstanding service! Will definitely book with them again.”


“I was so pleased to find Danielle. I needed someone to look after Bertie for 5 days at very short notice. Danielle was accommodating, friendly and welcomed Bertie into her home. She listened to his needs and responded quickly to my communications. I will be using Danielle again.”


About: I’m always the first one family and friends call if there going away and need their dogs looked after, as i treat theirs like my own and take them out on regular long walks in the day. Im currently on a gap year, so i have more free time to do what i love. I like to travel a lot even to different cities in the UK, so dog sitting in different areas would be something i would like to fit in when going away. If i was dog boarding in the owners home i would be respectful of the place and keep it tidy and following any specific instructions if any.
