Dog Walking in East Devon

About: Growing up with summer holidays on my aunt and uncles farm in Scotland taught me how to care for animals My first job as a toddler was to feed the chickens and collect the eggs I used to go up on trailer to feed sheep and cattle, and play with the farm dogs Growing up I always had dogs and wanted that for my children as well But at our busiest we had 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 budgies and 2 gerbils. Living in Switzerland at the time we had many international friends who used to travel and we would regularly take it in turns to house sit for each other I am calm and caring with nervous pets and not phased by walking having completed many long distance paths like Hadrian's walk and Offas dyke - so pets that need a good exercise is a joy Over a period of a year I have been able to do 16 house sits - see photos and 5 star feedback On other well known house and pet sitting site I am retired and continue to do house and pet sitting in other peoples homes. I am looking to extend this care in between these sits to build a local selection of families that I can support with their pet care needs from the comfort of my own home as well I have a fully fenced in rear garden with plenty of space to play. Also I am surrounded by parkland walkable from my front door. If you wish transport or further afield walks, I have a Skoda Yeti - which has good access / space for pets to be transported to and from sits/ walks

“Otto had another lovely walk with Agata and her dog, Ubi. I know he has fun because he’s always genuinely thrilled to see her and leaves me without a second glance!”

About: Hello! I'm available for walking, drop in visits, day care and boarding. I've cared for my own dogs and cats my whole life and have provided dog sitting services for friends and family. I grew up with Irish Wolfhounds so have some experience with giant breeds. I will only look after one pet at a time (or pets from the same household) so they will have lots of attention. I have my own rescue kitty who gets along well with most dogs. I am willing to accommodate animals with behavioural issues with the right guidance and proper introductions. I work from home Monday to Friday and have plenty of time to walks, playing and giving animals the attention they need before work, throughout the day and in the evenings. I have a fenced garden for dogs to roam and two inner doors making it easy to ensure any animals are kept in as needed. I can offer dog and cat boarding, day care, home visits, and dog walking.

“Emily has always been a hugely caring friend to her pets, ensuring they are fed, watered and exercised at all times. She also never shied from the mucky jobs that always come with caring for animals. She is responsible with cleaning up any messes and was instrumental in the end of life care of our late dog Mollie. I can comfortably recommend Emily to look after your pet :)”

“I left my large, and somewhat complex, dog with Sam for a few days and she was great! Ready attentive, communicative and kept me updated throughout his whole stay! He came back a happy boy and I would recommend Sam to anyone looking for pet care or needing help with their dog!”

“Maggie was wonderful with Chase, he trotted off with her like he'd known her since he was a pup. Maggie's communication was fantastic, all the pictures of their travels were fantastic (and also funny). So happy to be booking with Maggie again :)”

“Sean is friendly and professional, and our labrador loved him right away. It's clear when meeting Sean that he cares about the animals he works with. We are thrilled to have found someone we feel we can trust with our dog.”

“Lydia was highly recommended to me by a friend who found her on Rover. She managed to help us out quite last minute and was an absolute life saver ! I find her very professional and thoughtful, she came to meet our dog ahead of the visits and we went through all her questions so she had everything she needed. She is also very respectful of peoples homes! Very happy customers and happy dog !!”

“Hannah is very reliable, and happy to accommodate any requirements. I Highly recommend her.”

“The best thing we did was book Paige! Our pup loved her so much and we were always had our walk updates and pics. It helped us and my mum who was looking after her when we were away for a long weekend and Paige took her for some lovely long walks. We completely trusted to have her to be off lead and Ronnie had the best time. We will 100% be asking to use her services again and highly recommend her.”

“Katy looked after our 2 dogs for 2 weeks whilst we went on holiday. Our cockerdor had a difficult start in life and as a result struggles to be around other dogs and new people. However, from the moment he met Katy there was a natural bond between them and he instantly appeared to trust her. This is a credit to Katy’s extremely natural affiliation with animals. Katy sent us daily updates with photos of the dogs and we had the assurance at how happy they were. Katy looked after our dogs in our home to help reduce any anxiety for them and she was extremely professional and kept our house immaculate. We would 100% recommend Katy, and our dogs Spud and Terri give her a solid 10/10 for play, walks, cuddles, and making them feel special and well looked after.”

About: I’m a very calm and caring person. I understand every pet needs time to adjust as they have different personalities. I’m good at befriending them, and give them space when needed. I’m very excited to meet my new friends. I am not working currently, and I’m available to take care of your fur babies any time. We can always meet up first and see if the pet is comfortable. I do not have any pets in the house so they will have my full attention and care. They will also have a lot of space. I have a big park 1 minute away from my house where they can play and run.

“Jake walks my energetic sprocker paulo. He’s not the best behaved I’ll admit but jake is great with him! He takes him on long walks and lets him sit with him on the sofa and chill with lots of treats as requested.”

“Josh has looked after and walked our border collie multiple times and has developed a great bond and trust with him. Highly recommend his services.”

“Erica is very caring with all animals. She is used to working with dogs who can be highly reactive. Erica has also had experience with varying ages and sizes. She has worked with training guide dogs. She is very patient with all animals”

“Charlotte is absolutely amazing when it comes to providing safe, loving care and exceptional customer service for pets. Her genuine love and affection for animals shines through in every interaction. I can personally vouch for her incredible pet care skills, as she has taken care of my own beloved furry friends with utmost responsibility and tenderness. Beyond her expertise in pet care, Charlotte is truly an extraordinary human being. Her compassionate nature, unwavering reliability, and positive energy make her a cherished caregiver. When it comes to entrusting someone with your pets, Charlotte is the perfect choice!”

“Vince took the time to visit us in our holiday home to meet our three dogs, 2 Shepherds and a Chow Chow the day before our booking. From the moment he arrived he was calm, friendly and very knowledgeable about our dogs and the surrounding area. When he returned the next night, all our dogs were calm and happy to see him and he looked after them for the evening whilst we were out. He also bought along a pocket full of treats to make them like him even more! We had the utmost trust in Vince, something we generally struggle with in strangers, and would recommend him to anyone”

“Emila is one of the most kind-hearted people I have ever met and you can be assured when it comes to your pets she is someone you would want looking after them! She doesn't just have the skill-set, experience and caring nature that makes her an amazing pet sitter, she also has a high level of knowledge of companion animal behaviour. She will really be able to understand how your dog is feeling and ensure it is well looked after in your absence!”

“We had Melaine look after our elderly cat over the Christmas period. Mel did a fabulous job and is obviously a pet lover. What we liked she is that she didn’t just pop in but gave Barney (cat) some love and attention. We would highly recommend her services. Roger”

About: I have a passion for providing exceptional care and attention to furry friends of all shapes and sizes. What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to building a strong bond with every pet I care for. Overall, my passion for animals, attention to detail, and specialised skills make me the perfect choice for pet parents looking for a reliable and caring pet walker and sitter. I currently work 100% remotely and have a flexible schedule, so can be free during the week and as well as on the weekends. I love the outdoors and the company of a furry friend whilst out on my daily walks would be a perfect addition. I live in a bottom floor flat with a small garden area, there is also park with a large green area 5 minutes walk away.
