Dog Walking Exeter

About: Hi! I’m currently a postgraduate student living in the UK. I’m quite a calm and patient person, and I really enjoy spending quiet time with animals 🐱🐶 I once rescued a stray cat and took care of it for about 6 months, so I understand the responsibility of feeding, cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have some experience with dog walking, and I’m always gentle and attentive when looking after pets. As a student, my schedule is quite flexible during the week. I’m happy to follow your routines carefully and send updates, so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. I may not have years of experience, but I will genuinely care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m available in the mornings from 7–9am (Monday to Friday), evenings from 5:30–9:30pm (Tuesday to Friday), and I have full availability on Saturdays. I try to be flexible whenever possible, so feel free to message me to discuss your needs! When caring for pets in your home, I will make sure to respect your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I will try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m a clean and tidy person, and I will make sure everything is left as I found it. I’m also happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have grown up in a household surrounded by animals - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles and horses! I also have hands on experience pet sitting. I’ve house sat for extended periods where I looked after a Golden Retriever and on a separate occasion I cared for two Black Labradors. Alongside dogs, I’ve also lived with and cared for cats, so I’m comfortable looking after feline friends too. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m always happy to follow specific instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules or just keeping them company, I’m committed to making sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. If you’d like to arrange a meet and greet or have any questions, feel free to get in touch. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home in a flexible role, which means I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, and keeping pets company. I do occasionally go into the office, but I always plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care are happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Outside of work, I love being active and outdoors - especially at the weekends, when you’ll usually find me out for long walks by the beach or heading into town for a coffee. I’d be more than happy to include a dog in those adventures (if they enjoy it!) or tailor the day to suit their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s individual needs and follow instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free for them, as I would want someone to look after my own pet! I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners can feel confident and reassured.

“Anneka has been amazing with my boy Drake! I knew he was in good hands as soon as I met her and her daughter. Lovely, kind and attentive! He is clearly very happy and well looked after by the photo updates. Thank you and he looks forward to seeing you again! :)”

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

“Alexandra was so relaxed and fun and my black lab Zed absolutely loved her. She took him for some great walks and uploaded pictures of him, which was so reassuring as this was our first time using Rover. Thanks Alexandra 🥰”

“Great meeting and introducing Tim to Chilli yesterday. Tim is clearly experienced around Dogs and let Chilli suss him out rather than fuss over him.”

About: ​​I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my parents ran a small dog-sitting business, which gave me hands-on experience from a young age. During school holidays, I regularly walked 2 to 4 dogs at a time, learning how to safely manage different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—it was hard work but so much fun! ​ Through my regular walking, I caught the attention of a local business owner. He noticed my confidence with different breeds and multiple dogs at once, and trusted me to walk his lovely Staffordshire Bull Terrier for several years. ​ Today, I continue my passion for pet care by looking after my neighbor's dog during the week while she is at work, providing both daytime company for him and plenty of exercise. ​I am a keen walker who genuinely loves being outdoors, and it would be an absolute joy to walk your dog or pet-sit to keep them happy and safe. I am also happy to spend time with older dogs at a pace that suits them, whether its a short stroll or a bit of company/playtime. I currently work part time as a nurse, which gives me great flexibility during the week for walks and for pop in visits with occasional weekend availability too. I love getting out for fresh air and making sure your pet gets plenty of fuss, belly rubs, playtime, and company :) Your dogs safety and comes first. From experience, I always keep dogs on a lead when on a walk until we’ve built up trust and have bonded. When visiting your home to collect or pick up your dog, i'll ensure i follow your instructions and adhere to your normal routine as much as possible! I’ll wipe muddy paws, top up the water bowl and send you a photos if you would like! If you're not home i'll make sure your pup is cosy and your home secure before i leave.

“Lin was great with Alfie! Very reliable and always on time providing updates and photos of the walks . I definitely recommend her and I will use her again for Alfie.”

About: I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family for many years and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experienced caring for multiple dogs at once and have looked after a wide range of breeds and sizes from miniature dachshunds and toy poodles to cocker spaniels and retrievers. I work as a professional with a flexible schedule and often work from home so I’m able to provide plenty of company regular walks and attention throughout the day. I love being outdoors and I’m happy to Taylor walks to see your dogs need whether that’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure. I’m uncomfortable following your usual routine including feeding measuring tablets were needed and caring for both crate trained and no crate trained dogs. I’ll always treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they’re happy safe and well looked after. I particularly enjoy caring for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and the routine stays familiar as I live in central Exeter without a garden. I’m also happy to offer care in my home for shortest days where appropriate. Above all I am to provide dependable caring pet sitting that gives owners complete peace of mind. And of course I’m always happy to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. I work full-time as a university lecture however this gives me a flexible schedule and I often work from home period. This means that I am available to provide plenty of company regular walks and attention throughout the day. I generally work Monday to Friday so often have a few emails or papers to catch up on over the weekend, but I always look for opportunities to get out and about whenever possible. Due to living in central Exeter without garden, I prefer to look after dogs in their own environments. I believe this helps them remain comfortable and with their regular routine which makes the experience better for everyone. I am happy to have dogs at my home for shorter periods and can discuss this on a case by case basis. I am more than happy to provide other housesitting services alongside dog sitting such as watering plants and collecting post if I stay in your home while you’re away.

“Above and beyond ! Thank you Imogen the dogs had a lovely time, they look really happy in the photos. On time, great communication, special attention to every detail. Will definitely call on Imogen again.”

About: Hi, I’m Denise, a caring and reliable pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with dogs and cats, including rescue dogs, and have experience looking after dogs for friends and housemates, from walks and overnight stays to caring for them while their owners are away. I currently work part-time as a support worker with young adults with learning disabilities, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m an outdoorsy person and enjoy long walks, so I’m happy to look after high-energy dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I also have experience with puppies, nervous dogs, and rescue dogs with challenging behaviours. I’d love to help look after your dog and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away🐾 I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking! I currently work part-time as a support worker, so I have plenty of flexibility. My schedule changes weekly, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages if you ask for it so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t offer pet sitting in my own home at the moment, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within 30 miles

“I'm so glad I found Josie, she is so nice and reliable and Lola, our little rescue dog was immediately fine with her. We only had one walk so far but I hope there many more to come. Josie clearly is an experienced dog carer and I am confident Lola is very well looked after by her.”

About: I’ve had pets within my home my whole life, not just dogs but a litter of kittens, hamsters, rabbits and Guinea pigs. I’ve helped friends and neighbours in Devon since I was about 14 with pet care. After working as a nanny in Brighton for 6 years I’ve moved back home to Devon to be nearer family. I am currently doing free lance photography and ad hoc nannying I have a large flat, my garden isn’t the biggest it’s a medium sized one but I live near the quay so there’s lots of lovely surrounding walks.

“Teddy enjoyed his walk with Matilda and we’ve already booked his next walks with her!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I work full-time but over three condensed days, which means I have plenty of time during the rest of the week to dedicate to dog walking, sitting, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I share my life with a rescue dog who is incredibly friendly and has never met another dog he didn’t like. We spend our days off exploring all kinds of places together—coastal paths, woodlands, beaches, as well as towns, villages, shops, and dog-friendly cafés. I understand how important enrichment, exercise, and socialisation are for a happy, well-balanced dog. I have a particular passion for rescue dogs and believe every dog deserves a fulfilling, loving life, regardless of their start. I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s high-energy adventures or a calmer, more relaxed pace. I’ve looked after many friends’ dogs over the years, from regular walks to overnight stays, and I always treat them as if they were my own. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog go home happy, content, and tired after a fun day. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about dogs to look after your pet, I’d love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time over three condensed days, which means I have several days each week fully available for dog walking and sitting. My schedule is known up to 8 weeks in advance, so I can plan ahead and accommodate bookings where possible. On my days off, I usually start the day with a morning walk between 9–10am, lasting at least an hour. In good weather, this can turn into longer outings of several hours, with breaks for rest, water, and lunch. I also provide a shorter, calmer evening walk around 6pm for 20–30 minutes. Dogs in my care have regular access to the garden for toilet breaks throughout the day, and I always ensure a final toilet break around 9pm before settling in for the night. I’m happy to adapt my routine depending on each dog’s needs, whether they prefer longer adventures or a more relaxed pace. I provide a safe, relaxed, and home-from-home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. In my home, dogs are welcome in all areas and can choose where they feel most comfortable—whether that’s on the sofa or in their own bed in the lounge. I have a fully secure, fenced garden with no external access, so they can safely enjoy time outside whenever needed. I don’t use crates, but I may be able to accommodate one for smaller dogs if that’s part of their usual routine. For overnight stays, dogs are welcome upstairs and can sleep on my bed or in the spare room—whatever helps them feel most settled and secure. Although my own dog is not food reactive, I always feed dogs separately to ensure they each eat their own meals safely and at their own pace. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I am very respectful of routines and house rules. I would need to bring my own friendly, well-socialised dog with me, and I’m happy to follow your preferences—whether that’s keeping dogs off furniture or maintaining specific routines.

“I can not recommend Anna enough. I gave Anna next to no notice this morning due to being let down, unfortunately these thing happen. I was obviously stressed and was in a bit of a pickle. Anna responded almost immediately and came to the rescue. Kirby my 9 month old husky took to her kind nature straight away and we honestly cant thank or recommend highly enough.”

About: I have grown up my whole life surrounded by animals and pets of my own, families and friends and have always had a particular interest in dogs. The past two years at university I have been doing part time dog walking and building a close relationship with my clients pups, many of which I would walk most week days whilst they’re away at work. I love walking and looking after dogs and enjoy almost as much as them! I try to keep different routes and engage them with games and different environments, and keep in contact with photos of your pup to let you know they’re having fun! I’m currently a third year medical student so I am working around my studies this year. Early morning or evening walks and weekends fit perfectly into my schedule if that’s what your looking for! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from lizards, cats and dogs and always looking after family and friends. The past two years I’ve also spent working part time dog walking and boarding rescue dogs, so I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for dogs in the most comforting way possibly and allowing them to enjoy their time on walks or drop ins etc! I’ve also attended several rounds of puppy and dog training over the span over a few years so consider myself to have a basic understanding of caring for animals and helping them relax
