“I can always rest easy when Sharon is looking after Milo. She is always on time, and the photos of Milo looking calm and happy are really reassuring. Thank you.”

About: Hello My name's Angie & I am 57 years old. We moved to Sidmouth in Spring 2024, love being close to the beach & nature. Absolutely perfect for dog walks in the countryside or at the coast. I previously ran my own business providing inventory services for letting agents but my love has always been for animals & the outdoors. I am lucky enough to be able to work part-time, hence starting pet drop in services. When we moved to Sidmouth I found it difficult to find somebody for ad hoc drop ins if I needed to go somewhere that wasn't dog friendly. I love all breeds of dogs but have a special connection with German Shepherd dogs. As a child my parents took on an ex police dog, he couldn't be trained as was not aggressive. Myself & husband took on an 8 week German Shepherd puppy & had the most amazing fun and adventures with him. He enjoyed many holidays in France & Spain with us and was a huge part of our lives. We lost Benson in October 2024 at the age of 12, his health issues finally got the better of him. Therefore, I have experience of senior dogs & the challenges they face in later years. In January 2025 we took on an 8 month old rescue puppy called "Ella". Despite her uncertain start in life she is turning out to be an amazing loyal dog & full of mischief! I have previously volunteered for the "Cinnamon Trust" which is an amazing charity which enables old people to keep their dogs with them even though they are not capable of walking them anymore. I have been DBS checked, hold a Canine first aid certificate & Public Liability Insurance. If you need any further info or would like to arrange a meet then please do get in touch. I promise to care for any dog in my care as if it was my own. Angie I have no other work commitments so am often available at short notice. Due to having a young dog at home I am only currently able to offer drop in services. I would ensure that your dog was always safe & happy whilst in my care. I would also respect your property as if it was my own.

About: I’m always the first one family and friends call if there going away and need their dogs looked after, as i treat theirs like my own and take them out on regular long walks in the day. I’m skilled at reading dog body language. Im currently on a gap year, so i have more free time to do what i love. I love dogs so i thought offering dog boarding/walking would be a great idea to fit into my schedule when i can. If i was dog boarding in the owners home i would be respectful of the place and keep it tidy and following any specific instructions if any.

“Jenny has provided very helpful support to our dog, Dotty. Contact and communication was excellent and Jenny met Dotty before visiting our home to care for her. We have no hesitation recommending Jenny.”

About: We have owned dogs for over 30 years and have just lost our beloved Collie in June and look forward to welcoming dogs into our home again. As I'm retired, I have plenty of time on my hands and am happy to walk dogs, house sit or welcome them into our home. We have a small fenced garden, mainly made up of lawn and terrace. It's totally secure and safe for pets and we have no other pets of our own.

About: As a trained dog groomer and dedicated pet owner, I bring a level of care and understanding that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I have hands-on experience with animal behavior, coat care, and overall wellbeing, allowing me to notice the little things that others might miss. Being both a dog and cat owner myself, I understand how important routine, comfort, and trust are for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—providing attentive, patient, and personalised care to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Fully DBS cleared (enhanced certificate) Please note years of experience is owning pets not grooming Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own pets every day. I plan my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, play, and companionship, and I’m flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I can reliably provide consistent care and attention. I prioritise keeping pets on their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I currently work 3 days a week a Thursday and the other 2 usually vary. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure to respect their space while giving their pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I keep everything clean and organised, and I’m happy to provide updates for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a relaxed and pet-friendly environment where they can settle in comfortably. I supervise interactions, maintain routines, and ensure they get lots of attention, exercise, and affection. With my experience as a pet owner and training in dog grooming, I’m also attentive to grooming needs and overall wellbeing, always keeping an eye out for any changes in behaviour or health.

About: Hello! My name is Emily and I am 21. I have grown up with a terrier-spaniel cross breed since I was 7 and I have knowledge in puppy care and high senior care because of this! Comforting my dog in her last days of life has been an honour, and I wish to comfort any age of animal for however long I can because I know how deeply important it is for that pet to feel positivity, fun and love. I have a full clean UK driving license and a provisional moped license. Currently volunteering at the Cats Protection League in Exeter. Furthermore; I have fostered with Feline Network (July24-January25). My puppy care consists of keeping them busy, playing, walking, letting them rest, feeding them and to keep them safely socialised. I am also comfortable with cleaning up messes! My senior care for dogs consist of handling the animal comfortably, playing when they aren't too tired to, feeding them, helping with medication feeding and giving them some patient walks or garden time. I also have general other pet care considering hamsters, guinie pigs, rabbits, chickens, fish and others. I have many days and nights free to pet sit and socialise. I am currently working close to full time with split shifts but with your dates and timings I could alternatively easily help out:) I am able to crate your dog if need be. Give them consistent walks, toilet breaks and play time whilst dog sitting. I would easily keep a close eye on pets to always check in on them especially if they have any health issues, but also in social interactions to keep them and others safe. I would also keep all dogs on a lead for walks unless told or agreed with otherwise.

“Angel was very friendly, attentive to our cats, and updated us with pictures of what they’ve been up to while we were away. Would recommend booking with her. ”

About: I’ve always been a massive dog lover and have always taken care of any dogs that I was given the chance to. My family and family friends have trusted me to walk and feed their lovely pets, aging from puppies to 13 year old doggies. I also am willing to enforce good lead and walking manner in order to keep up your pup’s training. I am unemployed at this point in time. I am pretty much free the majority of the week. I will be working by a first come, first served basis. I have a spacious fenced garden. For walks, I would ask beforehand about your pups temperament(s) so that I will be prepared if need be. I am happy to walk reactive dogs, as long as a muzzle is provided (for precautions). I would not let your pup off their lead, unless I personally can trust them with their recall. I’d let your fur baby explore some new spots, meet some new friends, and let all their energy out. If you have any queries, please contact me for any more details!

About: I have a good level of experience when it comes to caring for our furry friends! My little best friend is a 4 year old Chihuhua whom we rehomed back in 2020. I have hands on experience with reactive dogs, allowing them to have a fun fulfilled walk/play! I work full time but shift work. I typically work 3 x 13 hour days, therefore lots of spare time to meet all your lovely doggies! Although I am unable to offer pets in my own home at the moment, I am more than capable of looking after pets in your own home.

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.

About: My name is Emily and I’m 21 studying law. I have a chocolate Labrador back at home and have grown up surrounded by dogs… from a Yorkshire Terrier to a Great Dane and New foundlands. I love dogs and think this is a great chance for me to go out on more walks and meet a few new 4 legged friends. I have looked after my senior dog who was 14 and a half when she passed when she developed artritis and found it hard even walking to the garden. I also have experience training a puppy. I have known Evie, a golden labrador since she was 8 weeks old and have been puppy sitting, training, playing with and feeding/ walking her even now she is 8 months old. She is now off lead trained as well and is very well behaved. I walk my dog every day at home so miss that aspect when living in Bristol. My dog is full of energy and I love to play with her and burn off that energy so I am happy for a lively dog to keep me entertained or a calm older dog to just give some exercise and extra attention. I think these past experiences and my adoration and love for dogs makes me perfect to look after your best friend and I would love to meet them and help you out! Thank you! Emily x I am in uni 12 hours a week so am entirely flexible in catering to what is best for you and your dog(s) and can work with you to find the best timings and days. I have a fenced off garden, large tiled kitchen and big grass area which is perfect for an active dog. I also live very close to a large park which is perfect for taking your dog on a walk in a big open space to let them burn off some energy and exercise.

About: Dogs and cats have been in my life for over 20 years. I currently have two kittens and a 16 year old Border Collie. I have previously had a rescue Border Collie in my family, a boy who needed special care day and night. I love all animals and am involved in the protection of wildlife and their habitats. I’m self employed so have flexibility in my working day. I have a car so getting about is no problem, speak to me and I’ll try and accommodate requests where I can. At present I’m offering just a drop in service but this may change in the future, at which point I will provide the safest environment possible. In terms of trustworthiness, my day job clients trust me with keys to their homes so that speaks volumes. I’m happy to provide references to my trustworthiness.

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

About: I’m a massive animal lover and am a proud owner of two gorgeous cats, Ruby and Oscar- both adopted from unkind homes (Oscar was terrified to begin with and would pee everywhere for months and Ruby was hissing constantly & very scared. Now Oscar’s toileting troubles are under control and he’s growing in confidence day by day and Ruby is the most outgoing friendly cat I’ve ever met introduces herself to all!), and a lovely senior rescue dog from Bulgaria named Rosa. Rosa is dog mad gets so happy any time she sees one she breaks out of her anxious shell that her past has given her (she was previously used for breeding in Bulgaria kept on a chain and then dumped on a rubbish pile once they found out she had a mammary tumour poor thing). The cats are also fairly used to dogs as we’ve fostered a very bouncy collie shepherd rescue before as well as a Labrador puppy. We've also had or looked after small animals such as guinea pigs (I’ve had up to 30 in total but don’t anymore, used to rescue them) , rats (have only had female rats personally), hamsters (Syrians and Russian dwarfs) and have minor experience with reptiles & insects like bearded dragon and stick insects and am happy to care for any animal with the right instructions! I’m capable of bathing any pet that requires it, I can also carry out nail trims for guinea pigs as this is something I had to do a lot when I was rescuing them. I usually work in an early years setting with young children but during the holidays off all I’m doing is planning for my wedding (exciting I know!!) so have plenty of time to care for any pet that needs it! I’m happy to take on multiple and can come to your home if needed but due to my own pets I’d rather it be my own home however this is something I’m more than happy to discuss! I love walking and playing with dogs and cats too! Big or small doesn’t bother me! I have a fully enclosed fenced back garden to keep your pet safe. I have a two calm yet playful dogs and two cats to keep your pet company. I’m happy to adapt to your pet whatever their needs are. I live near the honiton bottom estuary so they’re are plenty of nice walks and am familiar with many areas in Devon and Cornwall! I’m pretty flexible at the moment but rest assured whatever is decided all I want just like you is for your pet to feel safe and comfortable and you feel at ease about it. More than happy to arrange meet and greets to get to know each other or go on dog walks together previously.

“Hilary is an amazing pet sitter, our Pug Max enjoyed her company in our home. I do highly recommend Hilary for anyone who requires a pet sitter for their dog.”

“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 🐈”

“We came back Sunday evening and we’ve noticed that our cat was very happy. I think it was a great idea to have Lara looking after Lúa. Lara is very professional, she answer my messages promptly always. I would definitely consider her to look after Lúa in the future and also would recommend her to our friends.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and now have 2 dogs of my own. They both crazy spaniels, who are 10 years old and 2 years old. I have experience with many dog breeds due to looking after family and friends dogs, for example border collies, husky and labradors. I have used rover multiple times to find dog care for my own pets so I understand the trust and responsibility given to care for your furry animals I am currently working part time in the East Devon area so will have plenty of time to look after your pets. I am available weekdays and early morning weeks ends but I am flexible to see if I can work around your schedule that would best suit you and your pets. I am able to drive to your house to either sit in and look after your pet or am happy to take them out for a walk and chill with them afterwards.
