“Nick and his family are so amazing at looking after my dogs. It was the first time of having both dogs and they had a fabulous stay. My dog that has stayed before, was overjoyed to see Nick and both definitely wanted to stay longer! I’m incredibly grateful to Nick and his family for taking such good care of my dogs, so that I could have a much needed holiday. Can’t thank you all enough!”
“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.”
“This was Ruairi's second visit and he went in to Angie and Garry's tail wagging and more than happy to see them. Is is obvious that they provide a loving and caring environment and that he feels safe and secure with them. Thank you!”
“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!”
“A huge thank you to Talita, Neil and Mala :-) for their exceptional care of Rex! They gave him plenty of walks and so much loving attention. Throughout his stay, they kept us updated daily with videos, pictures and messages, which was so reassuring. When we picked Rex up, his happy and relaxed demeanour made it clear he’d had a fantastic time. I highly recommend Talita and Neil and will definitely book with them again!”
“Angela is such a caring person, and both she and her husband are absolutely lovely. Archie was extremely well looked after during his stay and it was clear he was happy, relaxed and in very good hands. We would happily send Archie on holiday to stay with them again without hesitation. They are genuinely lovely people and we cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am that I found Georgina. We were on a family holiday and discovered last minute that our lodge didn’t allow dogs. Not knowing anyone in the area, I was really upset at the thought of leaving him with a stranger. I messaged Georgina and within minutes she replied — and within the hour, she was there. From the moment we met, she was kind, calm, and incredibly reassuring. She immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which meant so much, and she even helped with pick-up and drop-off. Thank you so much again, Georgina — you truly made a stressful situation so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.”
“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.”
“We would certainly recommend using Lucy again for our dog. She was very kind and helpful and our dog instantly took a shine to Lucy's gentle manner and set her at ease. We loved the little photo updates while away. It was lovely to see our dog having a lovely time. We can't thank Lucy enough and will definitely be booking again! 😊”
About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home
About: I've take care of dogs of every kind. Neighbours and friends have relied on my to care for the dog whilst away, and I now have a miniature poodle of my own Mya who loves to be with other small dogs. I'm currently working part-time, working from home, so have plenty of time to keep you fury friend company during the day. I'm available for boarding at weekends as well as weekdays. I’m an academic at the University and feel very lucky to live in a spacious home with a secure, fenced garden close to the University and the beautiful Duryard Valley nature reserve — perfect for walks and outdoor time. I live with my 17-year-old daughter, who will also be at home over the holiday period studying for her A-levels. She absolutely loves dogs and will be delighted to spend time playing with your furry friend in the garden. We’ll be home throughout the summer and would love to welcome one guest dog into our home. We have a sweet miniature poodle who can be a little shy at first, but soon warms up, loves to play, and happily sleeps on my bed. To make sure every dog gets lots of attention and care, we only take one additional dog at a time. If needed, I’m also happy to crate your dog overnight at your request.
“Betsy had a lovely time with Anneka. She was well cared for and enjoyed her walks and getting to know Anneka’s family. We enjoyed receiving daily photo updates which showed just how caring and attentive Anneka was. Thank you Anneka!”
About: I've always loved taking care of pets for friends, family and neighbours. Having moved to Exeter 4 years ago for university, I always said I missed my dog the most! I looked for any excuse to look after any of my team mates dogs, or head to the beach myself. Growing up we have had two rescue dogs, which proved challenging initially, but has been so rewarding to train and see them both feel comfortable in my family home. I can ensure your dog will have an enjoyable, long walk and explore somewhere new, and be loved as if it's my own! I'm currently a professional rugby player for Exeter Chiefs Women, training 3 days a week, with matches on weekends. I am looking for some part time opportunities for day care and dog walking around the training schedule and can make this work around you! I have a fenced outdoor space and a spacious living room; I am close to either Dawlish, Exmouth or the Exeter Quay so will ensure your pet has a decent walk throughout the day

“Buzz thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Kerry and Wesley, thanks so much for having him on short notice. We will look forward to seeing you again in the New Year for his next stay!”
“We were so grateful that Maria was able to have Griffin our 24kg labradoodle at short notice My daughter’s wedding involved a weekend away and my plans for him had to be changed due to the ill health of my original sitter We received two reassuring videos of Griffin happily playing with a toy on their sofa and another of him playing in Maria’s very large garden! For those nervous about their dog being reactive or becoming lost on walks, feel assured that your pet will have plenty of safe exercise if you should prefer them not to go out Griffin obviously felt comfortable and loved during his stay with Maria and her parents I have no hesitation in recommending Maria and will use her again in the future Thank you Maria!”

My collie Peggy had a lovely stay with Yves for 5 nights while I was away for work. Yves provided daily updates with photos and videos - it was really reassuring to see that Peggy was enjoying her holiday and having varied walks and snacks etc. Yves was sensitive to Peggy's needs and there was good communication throughout the booking process and Peggy's stay. I will definitely book again if the opportunity arises!
Megan was responsive and very caring, enthusiastic with our dog Sandy. Appropriately in touch with updates, made us and him feel very at ease and he had a lovely time. Understanding when our return was slightly delayed and even dropped him home! Would not hesitate to use again and recommend. Thanks Megan.
Absolutely amazing service from Katie. It was my first time leaving my boy with anyone else and Katie made me and blue feel at ease! Blue has a pretty rigorous routine due to allergies and he came back in amazing condition and I’ve never seen him so tired meaning lots and lots of walks! Katie made sure she had his routine noted correctly upon arrival and kept me updated every day with photos of blue looking settled, happy and getting lots of walks and attention. Would rebook in a heartbeat. Thanks again 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Angela is amazing in making sure Ditto enjoying his stay with her. Ditto definitely love staying with Angela and enjoying play time with her 2 cute dogs. Angela is flexible when we were late getting caught in traffic. We would highly recommend Angela and would have her pet sitting Ditto again. And really appreciate that she was able to pet sit him for us. Thank you Angela.
What can I say about James he was the best and I can’t thank him enough first time leaving my dog but was reassured and plenty pictures Rigby the dog was well looked after and spoiled rotten I would not hesitate to leave him with James and co in the near future Thank You very satisfied customer 😊
Corey was so thoughtful in his communication with us, lots of pics and very welcome updates. He asked us about our dog’s habits and needs. He was very calm and gentle with Tess. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Took Tess on lots of walks. Our silly dog didn’t want to come home when we picked her up! Well, it took some persuading anyway! :) Wouldn’t hesitate to book Corey again. Thank you very much Corey!
I am both glad and relieved that we found Danielle, we were so worried about leaving him with somebody new. We were given constant updates and sent photos of him, clearly enjoying his stay. It made our weekend away so much more relaxing, without the worry of Arthur being safe and happy. He even bonded with her two year old son, who was quite upset when we came to collect him. We will definitely use Danielle again and cannot thank her enough for her care and communication.
I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am that I found Georgina. We were on a family holiday and discovered last minute that our lodge didn’t allow dogs.

Thank you so much again, Georgina — you truly made a stressful situation so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She looked after Salty for 6 days and was absolutely wonderful throughout. She is incredibly kind, warm, and clearly loves what she does. Salty was very well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I returned, which says everything. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Salty was in such good hands. I truly appreciate the attention, care, and affection she showed, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and genuinely lovely to look after their pet.Lx
