“Briony, a delight to meet, clearly used to dogs, she was most helpful over access arrangements, her hour with Elsa made a worthwhile difference with Elsa's separation issues. Will definitely be using Briony again”


2. Tahni B.
“Tahni took care of our sporty Golden Retriever Finn regularly, went for long walks with him, also fed him and stayed with Finn home during our absence. She is experienced with young and older dogs. Tahni is a very self-reliant and reliable young person. She adores dogs and pets in general. We can highly recommend Tahni as a dog sitter.”


3. Hilary R.
“After knowing Hilary for many years I can honestly say she is one of the kindest, most caring people I know. We met working with adults with learning difficulties where she showed her compassion and nurturing nature. This follows through to her love for all animals- big and small. I would be more than happy to ask Hilary to care for any of my beloved pets as I know they’d receive not only the best of care but also lots of love!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I regularly look after my mates’ dogs and my family dog and help with everything from walks and playtime and feeding them! I’m confident and experienced. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, so I offer 24/7 care. I already walk twice daily - your dog gets exercise, attention, and companionship all day long. I have a secure fenced garden and live just two minutes from huge open fields - perfect for safe play, exercise, and relaxed walks every day.

“Beth looked after my cats and elderly dog whilst I did some travelling, I was very comfortable after meeting with her that she would be an asset to loving and looking after my animals how I do.

7. Lydia P.

“Lydia did an amazing job looking after our dog and walking her down to the church on our wedding day. Very experienced with lots of dogs and very friendly”


8. Molly K.

“Molly is the first time Hector has had a sitter who’s not a friend. I’m delighted with her care for him. He’s calm and looking well fed and combed! Molly followed the instructions I left and what was so helpful were her messages and photos to assure me 20 year old Hector was just doing fine. Molly is a natural communicator and always replies to any messages. I’m very grateful and would recommend Molly to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful and well organised sitter. Thank you Molly 🐈”


9. Scarlett G.
“Scarlet has just gained a degree in animal physiotherapy so she is well qualified to look after all dogs ,but she also has a special gift rather like the horse whisperer ,but with dogs they all love her and respond to her immediately I would thoroughly recommend her and trust her implicitly with any dog in her care”


10. Martin H.
“We have known Martin for many years during which he has been both a very dear friend and also a huge help with various dogs in both our family and our daughters. Having always had dogs of his own he is both very understanding and caring to any size, shape or type of dog that crosses their very warm and friendly threshold! I am very happy to highly recommend Martin as a hugely trustworthy and kind career for any dog.”


11. Angie F.
“Angie is a very caring and responsible dog owner herself. Your dog will be in safe hands as Angie will treat them as one of her own, she is professional, trustworthy and extremely caring - I would definitely recommend.”


12. Isabel U.
“Hello, So, Isabel was recommended to me from a mutual acquaintance to cat sit for me whilst I was visiting my family in New York for two weeks. After meeting Isabel, introduced her to my cat (Maple) they very quickly formed a bond in no time, she was incredibly polite and thoughtful. She kept me regularly updated (without asking), sending me pictures & videos, she was very conscious about giving Maple any treats incase she had dietary restrictions and it was really reassuring knowing Isabel had a caring nature. Consequently, I will definitely be asking Isabel to cat sit in the future and I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”


13. Sam W.
“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!”


14. Florence L.
About: Had dogs since I was 8 years old. Mainly experiences with Terrier and Bull Breeds. Currently own my own 18 month old Bull Terrier boy. Highly aware of healthy and balanced play and the importance of calmness. Also very switched on to body language shown by dogs and how this can vary in different breeds and ages I currently work and play rugby so availability can be limited but happy to help whenever I can. Fridays and Sundays usually have a lot of availability and most mornings until mid-afternoon. I have a small fenced in garden with an undercover area for dog. I live 2 minute walk from woods that I am familiar with and can easily take dogs to.


15. Emily C.
“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 :)”


16. Erica B.

“Highly recommend Erica. Her communication was brilliant, on time, reliable. Our boys seemed very happy! Thank you so much!”


17. Rebecca H.
“Rebecca has looked after our dog for nearly three years. Walking him several times a week. She is reliable, trustworthy and kind. Our dog absolutely love her. We would really recommend her services.”


18. Matthew M.
About: I have a 2 yr old female Rhodesian Ridgeback who loves running and training for Ironman. I also love my plants so always outside when ever I can be. I currently work half contract at a fire station so have plenty of time to dog walk/run. Pop in for lunch time walks or look after dogs on more of a weekly/weekend style. I have a long grass back garden and Olive my ridgeback to keep other dogs happy. Your dog would be downstairs in my house. When we walk we would go down by the river to budleigh.


19. Melanie M.
“I know Melanie as a friend , and also as a fellow councillor on the Otterton Parish Council. Melanie adores dogs. She takes excellent care of her own dog, and also of mine. Melanie is very trustworthy and considerate. She is well respected in the community, demonstrated by her elected post as a Councillor for East Devon County Council. Anyone who has Melanie to take care of their pets will be very fortunate.”


20. Emila S.
“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!”
