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.

“Rowena was excellent. We had no worries leaving the house & dogs cat & chickens in her capable hands. She coped well with our 4month old black Labrador puppy & everything was clean tidy on our return & happy animals too!”

“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.”

“Our 3 guys loved having Emma look after them, highly recommended!”

“Jo was absolutely perfect for our reactive, strong rescue dog! Jo is warm, kind and sent us updates but most importantly left us feeling totally reassured that our anxious dog would be loved and well looked after. Our dog also took to Jo and her wonderfully warm energy instantly, as did we. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”

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.

“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.”

“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.

“Looked after our 12wk old puppy for a full day, all went very smoothly. Arrived on time, good communication and very good with Maple. Would definitely use Lara again. Thank you!”

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.

“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: Hello, We are Hannah and Sam and we've been full time global petsitters for over 3 years, from house cats in Dubai to Beagles in India. Now we are back in Exeter and want to continue our love for petsitting. We’ve been fortunate to receive many lovely reviews from pet owners who appreciate our attentive care, regular updates, and the bond we build with their pets which we are happy to share upon request! There are two of us on the profile, so your pet gets double the attention, double the love and double the care! It also means should an unforeseen event occur where one of us can't make it, you can rest easy knowing the other person can still manage the booking. Sam and I both grew up with dogs and have a deep understanding of what it takes to keep them comfortable and content. Whether it’s playing games, engaging in fun enrichment activities, or taking them on exciting walks, we treat every dog as if they are our own by making sure they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you're away! We are both local to Exeter so know of all the safe and fun walks. A dog’s routine is incredibly important to us, we find that sticking to their usual schedule keeps them happiest. Whether it's mealtime, walk times, or bedtime, we work around their routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. As I am self employed our schedule can align to theirs. Also, if house sitting they would have company and lots of attention throughout the day. We believe that communication is key, especially when it comes to your pet’s well-being. If we notice any changes in their behaviour or something seems off, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring you always know how they’re doing. We have experience administering medication, including pills and topical treatments, and have cared for senior dogs, including those with hearing impairments. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a little patience, or simply their usual routine, we’re committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in our care.

“Otto thoroughly enjoyed his afternoon playing in the garden with Agata! He’s not the easiest pup to deal with, but Agata is knowledgeable about the breed and understood his need for play and company. One tired, contented pup this evening!”

“Olha recently looked after my dog (Toby) whilst house sitting for a weekend. Olha is very trustworthy and kept in communication the whole time. She provided reassurance that Toby was doing okay, and sent updates including some pictures of him. Olha was amazing with Toby and looked after him so well that he didn’t want her to leave! Highly recommended.”

About: Hi, I'm Clare. I am extremely passionate about animals and have had pets for many years of my life. I currently don't have any of my own pets, so am more flexible than ever, with the services that I offer. I have 10+ years experience of professional pet sitting and dog walking and also completed a dog grooming course 3 years ago, so I am haooy to negotiate grooming prices, if required. Over the course of this time, I have sat for several different animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, horses, tortoises and fish and have loved every minute of it. I believe that animals are a vital part of a family and deserve as much respect as humans. I am happy to sit for other animals again, if it's not/not just a dog that you require being looked after :) I have experience of administering medication via oral syringe, drops and tablets and have also had to apply skin cream to a horse with skin cancer!! As well as sitting, walking and grooming, i have also volunteered at an animal rescue sanctuary, in Thailand. I did this for 2 months and the experience was absolutely invaluable! I am also looking at starting up my own sitting/walking and feeding/visiting business. Most of my experience has been gained through word of mouth, family and friends and via the website Trusted Housesitters. I have quite a few reviews on there, all of which are 5*. I also ran a little doggy day care business in Spain, a few years back, and did a few house sits while i was living there. I can also get you some personal reviews for friends that I have pet sat for. I am flexible, trustworthy, honest and caring and would be more than happy to have a Zoom call or Whatsapp video call with you, if you wanted to chat, or alternatively I can pop by to meet you and your furry friends, and to have a chat. Just let me know what you'd prefer :) I Looking forward to hearing from you soon :) I run a private property rental business from home, which only requires a few hours of my time every week, so I am around most of the time to give my full attention to your gorgeous fur babies. I have expeeience of both staying in the pet owner's home, as well as boarding at my home, and treat any pets as jf they were my own. I love going out walking, playing with animals and i adore lots of cuddles! I'm also happy to give animals their own space, if they aren't so cuddly or are a bit shy to start with. I have experience of administering medication, so this won't be an issue at all.

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.

“Very pleased with Georgina’s help looking after the dogs over a weekend. Definitely would recommend.”
