House Sitting East Devon

“Lydia arrived exactly on time and kept me updated with lovely photos of our 8 month old golden retriever and 2 cats. The house was kept very clean and tidy. Lydia kindly hoovered and was waiting for us when we got home. The pets were so happy and one of the cats who is normally very shy had become much more outgoing which was wonderful to see. Lydia was very good communicating with us while we were abroad on holiday and informed us of a leaking roof which enabled us to quickly arrange a roofer. Thank you so much Lydia for dealing with the leak in the middle of the night and keeping us updated on pets and home. I can highly recommend Lydia for house and petsitting.”

“I am very pleased as to how Chloe looked after the cat and the home while I was away in a different country. She sent several pictures per day, and I will be booking her again in the future!”

“Once again Agata took great care of our two dogs and bolshie cat. (Even though she had very little sleep thanks to Pippin’s upset tummy). Thanks Agata.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Rowena looking after our dogs. She was calm, friendly and clearly loves animals, and our dogs took to her straight away. She sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe and caring hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Rowena again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Our Rupert had a wonderful day with Rach, she was super considerate of understanding him and flexible to what we needed. Rach sent us photo updates throughout the day which was really reassuring for Rupert’s first day with a sitter! We definitely know who to return to in the future :)”

“Super pleased with Sharon’s service and care looking after my puppy. Suki seemed very relaxed and comfortable in the photos and Sharon kept me up to date with photos and comments. Would definitely rebook again.”

“First time Tim looked after our GSP Otto & Viszla Edie. We had a pre meet with Tim & dog walk before the booking as we have 2 strong dogs to walk. Tim is a wonderful calm & friendly person,we liked him immediately & him & the dogs bonded . I’m a bit anxious our sitters having the strength to walk my two as the are pullers. Had a trial 2 days & it went really really well. Otto was wearing a cone after a foot injury & Tim navigated walking,feeding & drinks with that. A really good dog sitter very pleased & appreciated his contact photos, updates . The dogs were happy & well looked after . Would highly recommend Tim 🤝”

“Emma was so great with our Rupert! She accepted our booking super last minute and had a thorough phone call with us to understand Rupert before the sit. She was so attentive to him with lots of play as it was too hot for a walk, and sent us lots of updates with photos/videos while we were out which was so reassuring. Emma was also really considerate of our home. Definitely recommend!”

Georgia W.

“Highly recommend Jo! She is very good at taking on board any quirks your dog may have and working with them in the same way you would yourself. Good to know if you have a nervous or needy dog! Jo looked after my house and kept me posted while we were away. Plus my dog loved her!”

“It was great to be able to leave our rather difficult terrier in the capable hands of Patrick. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Reggie was happy and well cared for.”

Sheena L.

“Emily was brilliant with Flynn, she really understands dogs and tailored the experience to what Flynn needed. Emily was happy for Flynn to follow her around the house all day as he needed the reassurance of being with someone. Emily and her mum welcomed Flynn as part of the family and their dogs were happy to share their home. I would highly recommend Emily and will definitely be rebooking.”

“Danu was the perfect cat sitter for our two boys! She was friendly, reliable and went above and beyond to make them comfortable. She even sent loads of pictures and updates, we’re extremely grateful! Thank you Danu, Arlo and Benji miss you already x”

About: Dogs have been part of our family for 30 years or more. We have 2 dogs currently and I very much enjoy caring for other dogs in their own homes and surroundings. I have cared for many different breeds and ages. I am a retired registered nurse, so my time is my own. I am married so i am able to be away from home whilst my own dogs are cared for by my husband. I am not currently looking to board dogs in my own home, as this would not be suitable with our own two dogs. However this may be possible if there are no other options

“Looked after fifi very well, sent me some pics and messages to let me know all was fine. Had a meet and greet before she came to stay which was lovely. Left our house spotless! Would definitely recommend and we would use Rachael again 😁”

About: I have successfully looked after many dogs for many years, and love their company. I did have a wonderful dog of my own who was a rescue dog and became incredible company. I have over 30 years experience with looking after dogs and cats. I enjoy looking after other peoples' beloveds while they go on holiday, or when they have work commitments. I have also had many cats of my own and loved them all. I live close to parks and other great walks for dogs. I am a writer and professional artist working from home. Plenty of time for walks, company and play. I have a fenced garden and live on a quiet road. I will always follow your dog's routine, as arranged with yourself, to help make them feel at home. For example, meal times, any special diets, or requirements. It’s always helpful to know your dog’s temperament with other dogs, how they are on/off lead. They will be well cared for. I also paint dog portraits in watercolour, please see photos.

“Jamie was great with Tinker and looked after her in my home at short notice. He kindly came over ahead of the sit to meet her etc. She clearly very relaxed and contented when we got home.”

About: Hi, I’m Denise, a caring and reliable pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with dogs and cats, including rescue dogs, and have experience looking after dogs for friends and housemates, from walks and overnight stays to caring for them while their owners are away. I’m naturally very outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs on long walks where needed. I currently work part-time as a support worker with young adults with learning disabilities, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m happy to look after high-energy dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I also have experience with puppies, nervous dogs, and rescue dogs. I have public liability insurance too, so you can have that extra peace of mind. I’d love to look after your dog and make sure they have a happy, fun and comfortable time while you’re away 🐾 I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits! I currently work part-time as a support worker, so I have plenty of flexibility. My schedule changes weekly, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages if you ask for it so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t offer pet sitting in my own home at the moment, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within 30 miles

About: Hi! We're Angie & Alex, full-time professional house and pet sitters. We have both always loved animals and grown up looking after dogs and cats. I (Angie) grew up with dogs (a spaniel, a lab and a German Shepherd), whilst Alex grew up with cats. We now move around looking after different, wonderful dogs and cats, and their owners' homes while they're on extended trips (usually 2+ weeks). We give all animals the individual care and attention they need. So far this year we have looked after two elderly dogs in Devon (including giving them medication), a couple of energetic, young golden retrievers in Guildford, and a wisler and dachshund in Cornwall before that. We especially love getting outside with dogs, enjoying lots of walks in nature! We both work remotely, so we are at home all during the work week. Angie works part-time and flexi hours, so she is available to meet longer walking needs, if required. When we're not working, we're dedicated to the pets, and make any social plans fit around the animals' needs. We only do house-sitting, staying at the owner's house, and usually for 2+ weeks at a time. We take great care to learn from you what your animal needs and work with those needs. It's important to us that dogs and cats feel safe and comfortable with us, and that they thrive in our care. We ensure their routines are not disrupted; such as taking them on as long or short walks as they need and at the times they're used to. We can also administer medication, and give them playtime and attention.

“Thanks Karen for such a friendly and professional service. We really appreciated that you took the time to learn so much about Dante’s routine before the day, which really paid off. Both us and Dante hope to see you again soon”

“We feel very lucky to have found Amy to take care of our dog, cat and other animals while we were away for over a week. Our anxious labrador was happy staying in our her own home, while our rather skittish cat even seems to have developed a new confidence while we've been away. The house was left very clean and tidy and Amy even put the bins out so we didn't have to do it on the evening we came home - we'd definitely use Amy again. Thanks Amy - you were brilliant :)”
