House Sitting East Devon

“Sharon was an excellent house and dog sitter. I think Otis was very happy in her company with her calm and respectful demeanour. She kept us up to date with daily news of how our dog was doing and where she had taken him. Our house was left in perfect condition and we felt well assured that Sharon was the right fit for our household. Will use her again! Highly recommend 😀”

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.

“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.”

“Lydia was amazing with Dixie and Dixie absolutely loved her! Lots of communication and photos throughout the day. Made the effort to come over to meet Dixie before the day so that Dixie knew her already. Would definitely recommend.”

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a bit apprehensive - but as soon as we met Jo, we were completely put at ease! She did a fantastic job looking after our dog and cat, and kindly kept us updated on how their time together was going. Highly recommend!”

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

“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.”

About: I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family for many years and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experienced caring for multiple dogs at once and have looked after a wide range of breeds and sizes from miniature dachshunds and toy poodles to cocker spaniels and retrievers. I work as a professional with a flexible schedule and often work from home so I’m able to provide plenty of company regular walks and attention throughout the day. I love being outdoors and I’m happy to Taylor walks to see your dogs need whether that’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure. I’m uncomfortable following your usual routine including feeding measuring tablets were needed and caring for both crate trained and no crate trained dogs. I’ll always treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they’re happy safe and well looked after. I particularly enjoy caring for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and the routine stays familiar as I live in central Exeter without a garden. I’m also happy to offer care in my home for shortest days where appropriate. Above all I am to provide dependable caring pet sitting that gives owners complete peace of mind. And of course I’m always happy to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. I work full-time as a university lecture however this gives me a flexible schedule and I often work from home period. This means that I am available to provide plenty of company regular walks and attention throughout the day. I generally work Monday to Friday so often have a few emails or papers to catch up on over the weekend, but I always look for opportunities to get out and about whenever possible. Due to living in central Exeter without garden, I prefer to look after dogs in their own environments. I believe this helps them remain comfortable and with their regular routine which makes the experience better for everyone. I am happy to have dogs at my home for shorter periods and can discuss this on a case by case basis. I am more than happy to provide other housesitting services alongside dog sitting such as watering plants and collecting post if I stay in your home while you’re away.

“Agata couldn’t have been a better dog sitter. Very experienced, professional and caring. We, and Dante are looking forward to seeing her next time.”

“Zoe answered our request immediately even though it was at relatively short notice. We met up the next day where Freya’s immediate response was very positive. Zoe asked all the right questions to understand and get to know Freya and her idiosyncrasies. Zoe contacted us a couple of times during the three day sit on minor issues which were quickly resolved. The only problem was that when it was time for her to leave Freya insisted on following her out of the door! Zoe clearly has an infinity with dogs and a caring attitude. We felt complete confidence in her and will have no hesitation in using her again and recommending her to others. Thanks Zoe.”

“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!”

About: I love dogs, have owned them since childhood, and along with my sister have helped foster and find home for rescues for the past 5 years. I have a four year old small breed mix named Rue. I work from home, so I’m home all day long to give your pup the love and affection he or she craves. My apartment features a fenced backyard for free running, and is near a lovely park where dogs go to play. My recently passed dog, Baxter, had epilepsy and took medication daily, so I’m familiar with dogs with special needs as well. I’ve owned or helped foster many breeds and will listen and tend to your dogs specific needs. Dogs are like family members in my home, so will be showed the utmost comfort while you’re away.

“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!”

“Lara was great with Tryff and super helpful with a last minute booking for our wedding weekend. She brought him up to the venue for photos which was greatly appreciated. We'll happily use her again for when we're away at weekends.”

Georgie W.

“Polite, Ontime, Good Communications and instantly took to Scarlett. Have no issue rebooking, and in fact have already rebooked for my next requirement Thanks Krystal”

Ross B.

“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 :)”

About: As well as being very actively involved in the care of my families dogs ever since I was very young, I have looked after plenty of friends dogs too. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments in both cities and the countryside. I prioritise being extra safe and present when I'm caring for an animal which ensures any dog in my care is relaxed and happy. Ultimately I'm completely dog obsessed and take the responsibility of looking after any dog, be it my own or someone else's, very seriously (but not seriously enough that we don't also have loads of fun!!) I am currently a freelance graphic designer working from home meaning I have a VERY flexible schedule and really the perfect set up for taking care of dogs. As of right now I am available all week with no real time constraints. Note- from 29/04 - 20/05 and 03/06-24/06 I will be unavailable on Wednesday until 2pm. I have a lovely fenced medium-large garden with lots of plants, trees and interesting bits for dogs to explore (aka not a rectangle of flat grass!). My dogs spend lots of time outside sunbathing and playing. I have two beddlington-whippet girls at home, one is 5 the other is 10. The older isn't particularly interested in other dogs at all, happy to keep to herself. The other LOVES other dogs, she's a fantastic play mate.

About: I love animals and have covered short and longterm sits both in UK Devon and Australia for a long time. Mostly I care for cats and dogs though I have had chickens, horses (feeding) and domestic fish and birds. I hare cared for senior pets including their medication. I am semi retired and I do part time work from time to time. In my career was a nurse. I have a deep interest in naturopathy and health. I have a low meat diet. At times the owners dog crate is put in my car though many digs yravel in the front well area. I enjoy taking dogs out on trips eg National trust grounds or the beaches.

About: Have always loved animals. Grew up with pets. Regularly look after my mum’s German shepherd and cats. Am experienced with walking, feeding and caring for. Am incredibly nurturing. I have 2 friendly boys who are excellent with animals and will play for hours with your fur babies! I have my boys in the week but and every other weekend. I work Mondays - Wednesdays but am a teacher and have school holidays free! Thursdays - Sundays I can go for lots of walks and give my undivided attention! I have a fenced garden and lots of surrounding areas to walk. I have dogs downstairs and generally not on furniture but am happy to put a blanket on sofa.
