“My Olde english bulldog (ted) came to visit nick and his family. He had the best time playing with max (the family dog). Nick provided updates and sent us photos during his stay. Ted went out on new walks with nick and Max. Ted is super excited to come back next month. It's really nice to know our furbaby is left with such a lovely family and is really well looked after when we are away. Would HIGHLY recommend !!!”


“My dog Douglas had the best time staying with Talita, we got regular updates with videos and pictures of Douglas's walks and when he was in the home. He always looked like he was having the best time. He got to play with their dog Mala who is super friendly. I would 100% recommend Talita to anyone who is nervous about leaving their dog, we met up a couple times before I left him so we could get to know each other and for Douglas to become familiar with them and their home. He was happy to see me when I collected but quickly picked up toys and went back to playing with them whilst we spoke about his week. Generally the only people he likes playing with our us so it was really lovely to see how much more social this has made him. Thankyou for looking after him so well. Xxxx”


“After deciding last minute to get a sitter as we were going on our hols we reached out to Fang who took him in. I would definitely recommend her, she is very attentive & treats your cat like it's her own. We had regular updates & pics through the week that kept us reassured. If you are looking for someone who treats your pets lovingly in their home, spoils them & lets them feel totally at home Fang is definitely the sitter for you. Thank you so much, will definitely take our kitten back if needed.”


“The best! Leaving our 13-year-old golden retriever, Max, for two weeks was tough, but knowing he was with Karen gave us complete peace of mind. She is simply the best! From the moment he arrived, she treated him like her own, showering him with attention and making sure he got plenty of exercise. He was so spoiled, and it was clear he was having his own little vacation! We looked forward to her regular updates and photos every day. If you're looking for a responsible, caring, and loving dog sitter who is truly passionate about what she does, look no further. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Karen. X”


“Harriet and her husband Tom provided welcoming and lovely care for our pet pooch for a couple of nights! Our doggie was very happy, looked after and enjoyed his pet vacation. We had great updates throughout the stay with pictures and were very reassured. I would certainly book again and recommend to others that need top notch care for your doggo without wanting to use kennels. A great family environment with walks, play, tummy tickles and care. Thank you so much”


“I'm reluctant to recommend Yung Hong Yves and Nick because I want to keep her for myself!! My dog had the BEST holiday in Exeter and we will certainly be back. An update on activities, photos and videos were really welcome and reassuring and this lovely couple showed the exactly right amount of fun and concern and care. Perfect for us!”


“Hubble had a wonderful time with Kerry. I was updated regularly and I could see that Kerry took our dog walking to different places every day. Hubble was definitely happy and relaxed with Kerry. Would highly recommend.”


“Darran was really quick to respond and I had great communication with him throughout Dickie's stay with videos and pictures to keep me updated. He was really friendly and offered a pre-meet before the day to ensure the dogs would get on. Darran's dog, Frank, is wonderful and was super friendly Dickie. I felt confident Dickie was in safe and fun hands.”


“I was so pleased to find Danielle. I needed someone to look after Bertie for 5 days at very short notice. Danielle was accommodating, friendly and welcomed Bertie into her home. She listened to his needs and responded quickly to my communications. I will be using Danielle again.”


“This is probably one of the best ladies and Dog we have ever met on this app, very kind and genuine person and kept us up-to-date with any concerns we had of missing our puppies, we definitely will be booking with his pair again.”


About: Born into a family that always had dogs, I’ve shared a lifelong bond with these wonderful companions. With years of experience walking, caring for and house sitting for friends’ pets. I bring a deep understanding of their needs and wellbeing. From nurturing playful puppies, to caring for senior dogs well into their golden years. Three of my own lived happy, healthy lives up to 18 years old. I bring a wealth of experience and genuine love to every stage of your pets life. Whether it’s a fun walk, dedicated care, or plenty of cuddles and chats, I’ll always priorities an animals happiness and give all the love and attention they deserve. With my flexible hybrid work schedule, I have the freedom to plan my calendar around your pets needs. I’m available on weekends and during the week with plenty of time to drop in, take your furry friend for a walk, play or simply provide extra cuddles. Since I can work from various location and only need to step away for up to 1.5 hours at a time, I can ensure your pet receives consistent care and attention throughout the day. In the near future I’ll be offering dog boarding in a secure and pet friendly environment. I have a large fenced garden perfect for safe play time as well as access to nearby enclosed fields for adventures. For now I’ll be taking your pet places where you, as the owner feel most comfortable and where your furry friend loves! Whether this be the beach, the local woods, along the quay or just around your neighbourhood.

“Amazing family. Lovely updates on how our Star was doing. And really great experience for our first time. Will definitely recommend and using again if needed Star definitely seems to have enjoyed herself as well. :)”


About: I’ve had pets since I was in my early teens, both cats and dogs. I have experience with rescues, with my previous dog Moe being a senior rescue with a lot of anxiety and support needs. I have also cared for puppies, helping train and support them from the age of about 8 weeks. I love animals and as I am not able to have my own pet right now, this is the next best thing. I am loving, love to go exploring with my pets, love to try and support training and I am also hoping to one day support guide dogs by fostering a trainee puppy. I can guarantee your pet will be well looked after and fussed over, kept clean and walked as much as needed. I have access to lots of green spaces for toilet time! I’m currently working from home and occasionally go into the office, however this is infrequent. I am in the house most of the day and have flexibility to take dogs for walks whenever needed in the local area, or if at weekends, anywhere. I have a good amount of space and I care for pets with love and affection. I love a dog cuddle and with my pets have often sat on the floor with them to let them snuggle up to me. I maintain a clean environment and ensure food is out of the way and will always ensure I follow any required rules for a pet in terms of whether they can go on the sofa or bed, for example. I am flexible and animals tend to respect me and listen to me as I am gentle and kind with them.

“We had the pleasure of having Carla take care of our chihuahua for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she made sure to understand our dog's routine and preferences and was very flexible and accommodating. Throughout the week, we received updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease. When we returned, Cookie was as content as ever, and it was obvious he had formed a nice bond with Carla. We are very grateful and will definitely be booking with Carla again in the future. Highly recommended!”


“Lucy was very friendly and easy to communicate with, she understood Tobys care needs and sent regular updates and pictures from walks and Toby seemed to have a great time! Wouldn't hesitate to use her again”


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!

“We visited for 10 mins the day before to let Mimi see the completely safe garden and instantly felt calm myself! Mimi is a 4 year old Chihuahua and I could see that she felt calm too! I took her the next day and felt so confident she'd be well cared for. On returning two days later Mimi was really fine. Karen said she's acted up sometimes (unfortunately, typically Chi) and was fine in her own space, which Karen fully understood from experience with the breed. Chihuahuas can be snappy/ bark to isolate themselves, which Karen understood. Mimi ate, which I hadn't expected at all. She felt safe there. Absolutely lovely lady, very friendly snd relaxed house. I will definitely book again (if Karen will have her!!!!)”
