“Imogen was brilliant with Dexter! A hyper 5 month old puppy, she definitely had her hands full. But she took him on a lovely walk, kept me updated throughout on pick ups and when walk was finished. Ensured she walked in shaded areas and that it wasnt too hot during the heatwave. Sending lots of happy photos, felt very happy that Dexter was safe and looked after throughout and after his walk. Will definitely be booking again! Thank you”


About: Insured and DBS checked ✅ House sitting experience for over 15 years of family dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc. I have been dog sitting in a professional capacity for 6 years alongside my full time, flexible job. Repeat dog owners choose me for my attentiveness to dog welfare and needs, dog training application and communication during the owner’s absence. I am reliable and honest, able to provide a wide range of services in other people’s homes or my own. I work flexibly from the office or at home. I can take longer breaks to exercise dogs and can often take more than one trip during the day. Fenced back garden with multiple levels of different turf. Space to run and play. Large kitchen, separate living and dining room so that anxious dogs can be separate from my dog if need be. Will ensure pet owner’s home is a safe environment if house sitting during the owner’s trip.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age. The love has passed on to my children who also love looking after and caring for animals..bathing , feeding , walking and playing . I’m currently on leave from my job so I can fit in pet care easily and a lot more flexible. I can do boarding and walking as I have an enclosed garden and nature walks in my area I have a fenced garden so plenty of space and security for your pet. I can easily crate your pet if needed in my home

“Very grateful to Amber, my door was being a pain and she still stayed, even when I couldn't answer straight away due to working. My boy looks very happy and content with Amber, and looks sufficiently tired! Thank you so much for baring with me!”

“Maggie was wonderful with Chase, he trotted off with her like he'd known her since he was a pup. Maggie's communication was fantastic, all the pictures of their travels were fantastic (and also funny). So happy to be booking with Maggie again :)”


About: I have lived and taken care of pets for 21 years or throughout my whole live. I have been relied upon for dog walking, dog sitting and other pet care needs. I love being around animals and being a reason their day was fun, each animal has unique needs and desires and therefore I cater my work towards each pet and pet owner as they see fit rather than having a generic set of work standards. I look forward to bonding with you and your pet to ensure the perfect care. I am a Graduate student at the University of Exeter with a very flexible schedule, I try very hard to incorporate any scheduling needs that I can. I look forward to my time with your pets! I love nice long walks, and I equally love movies and cuddles! I look forward to doing either with your pet, whichever is more their style!

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats, having labradors, border terriers, and two german shorthaired pointers as well as two tabbies. I love animals of all sizes and shapes and have a genuine love for keeping them happy and healthy!! I have helped around the village i lived in before coming to uni with home visits and walks. And now I am at university, not only am I missing all of my pets, but I would love to be able to help out with busy schedules. I have trained two puppies, my german shorthaired pointer is a full working dog and I did lots of the training with that. I have also looked after a 15 year old dog, so I am very versatile with all ages and all sizes. I am also first aid trained for animals. At uni I currently only have Tuesdays that are full with uni work, but on mondays, thursdays and fridays I am free apart from one one hour block. I am also free on Sundays all day. I will just ask about specifics of what you do and don’t allow in your house, as to not create any naughty habits. Pets will not be left unattended for any period longer than an hour, and when I am with them i will make sure to play and take them on regular walks to keep them entertained and happy.

About: I’ve had pets since the day I was born meaning I have years of experience taking care of them and being relied on. I’ve done everything from feeding, walking, playing with and toilet training cats and dogs from young until old age :) I’m currently studying at university and work part-time giving me plenty of time to look after your pets, especially during the holidays. My schedule varies weekly so I can do a variety of different days and times. At home I take care of my dog and 3 cats. This involves feeding, playing with, walking and toilet-training them when they were young. I have also administered medicine to some of my pets when they needed it.

About: Hi, this is Yves, I m from Hongkong. I have taken care for my relatives and friends dogs for ages, feeding, making fresh meal, dog cookies, dog walks, cleaning paws after walk and potty. I moved to Exeter few months ago from Oxford with my partner and now just want to start with something could work at home, soI can be all day and night available to every furry babies, I can do dogwalk in day time 12-6,or staying in any day in the week! I have a fenced sharing garden and a large park near my home like 1 min walk! And 5 mins walk to the Quay!! I have no pet in the home, they can go on sofa and have all the attention they want! My partner also works from home like 2-3 days a week, so we will always have someone at home for the dogs or bring them for walkie.

About: I've always had dogs in my life and have great fun with my full of energy, happy hound Finch. I've looked after friend's dogs of all sizes and would love to include more dog friends in our lives! When I look after your dog I can be with them 24/7 if needed. There are lots of lovely walks nearby or we can hop in the car for an adventure. My schedule can be very flexible. I would not be working when I have your dog for boarding, so I can give them all the attention! I have a small gravelled garden which is fenced. The flat is all on the ground floor and I'm happy to have your dog in all rooms, or I can shut them in one room if they would be happier.


About: I've had experience with quite a few dogs in my life and love all animals. My first dog was an American Eskimo when I was in primary school. My next, a sweet Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix from secondary school through to my uni days. Within the last five years, I also had two beautiful American Akitas who I've had to rehome due to my life circumstances changing drastically, not being able to fly them over to the UK (I've moved here to study law at uni), my mom not being able to care for both them and her German Shepherd while I was away due to her own health and lack of necessary resources, and knowing that I could not give them both the time and attention they individually require if they were both still with me. I am still healing from the heartbreak, however we made sure to rehome them to people we fully trust. Their rehoming could not have been any luckier and for the best as they are each with new families who happen to be friends (they get playdates, so they are still bonded!), in my same neighbourhood back home in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who both devote so much of their time and have all the resources that each of my babies deserve. I still keep in touch with both families and are welcome to visit them any time I am in town. Upon arriving in the UK, I petsat for two different families using TrustedHousesitters and still keep in touch with both. I took care of two Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mixes for one, and a Border Terrier and cat for the other. I currently work part-time jobs, so my schedule can be sporadic. However, I would absolutely love to walk or sit for your pets if I am able to! I am available for walks depending on the time and day. I'm not able to take care of pets in my own home at present (I hope to be able to in the future as I am currently in a student flat), however, in a pet parent's home, I care for pets in the way I'm asked by the parent(s) so long as it is caring and respectful for the pet. I stick to their usual routine because I know this would make pets feel most comfortable while giving their parent(s) peace of mind.

About: i’ve always had dogs- big and small. all rescues!! i love taking them for walks long and short ensuring they get the attention they deserve always !!

About: Hi, We are Hollie and Josh, and we offer friendly, reliable dog walking and sitting services. We are based in Heavitree, Exeter. Here’s a little more about us: We’ve grown up with dogs and have cared for them all our lives. We currently have a three year old cocker spaniel who is so affectionate and loves other dogs. Hollie has previously had breeds such as Sprollies and Jack Russells. We enjoy an outdoor lifestyle and love to explore new areas, especially when we have a lil doggy to keep us company! We have always looked after our friends’ dogs when they are away so have decided to offer our services elsewhere. We also know what it’s like to leave a dog with someone, and how difficult it can be so we’d make it as easy as possible. We can offer collection and drop off if needed! Josh and I currently work from home so we have plenty of time in our day to care for your dog and take them walks. We are also available for boarding on weekends too! I have a fenced garden and one friendly dog to keep your doggy company. Your dog can sleep in a crate or in the living room.
