“Julian is a very up near gentleman with the love of dogs. Trevor was so happy to return. When I pick him up he was so excited in his house which was lovely to see. Knew he had been looked after well. Kept me up to date with photos which I love when sitters do that. Will be using Julian again. Five stars”


“My husband and I are so happy that we found a sitter as amazing as Karen! She looked after our dog Willow like he was her own. Karen is super friendly and easy to communicate with, she is very knowledgeable about all things dog related, and we got photos and updates throughout Willow's stay. Willow had a lot of fun playing with Karen's other dog guests, and he got a lot of walks, cuddles, and attention. Wouldn't hesitate to book Karen again and recommend her highly!”


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

“Yves was absolutely brilliant with my Masha! She was responsive and easy to plan with, making the whole process seamless. Throughout the day, she kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I could tell that Masha loved being there and was well cared for. I would definitely recommend Yves and will absolutely be asking her to look after Masha again!”


“Karen is so friendly and welcoming for any nervous owners leaving their dog for the first time. The garden is secure and perfect for them to play in and Willow the whippet is a wonderful play mate for other dogs. Everything had a happy vibe and my dog had a great day and came home exhausted.”


“A fantastic stay for Ruby with Amy. First time using her services and will do again. Amy is a very warm and caring person and a real dog lover. She was attentive to Ruby's needs as is in season. Thoroughly recommend”

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.

“Carla was very friendly and easy to communicate with, agreeing to look after our dog Toby at short notice which was really helpful. Her and Toby seemed to have a great day playing fetch, and I wouldn't hesitate to request her again 😊”


“Our GSD Marla had a lovely time with Amelia and Percy! It’s safe to say she’s now a very tired and happy girl after playing all afternoon! Amelia is fantastic and had no trouble with our high energy pup, would happily use her again, thank you! 😀🙌🏻”


“Another fantastic day of day care willow had a great time with Jodie. She enjoyed her walks and lovely pictures. Jodie is punctual and looks after willow well I would not hesitate to recommend”


About: I’m a reliable, contentious, trusted dog owner & sitter with experience of small & large breeds. I have had dogs all my life and grew up with dogs in the household. I have trained my own dog to a very high standard of recall and manners, and he gets along with all other dogs. This has resulted in a very harmonious, calm household that pets I have looked after settle into quickly. I only work 20 hrs a week, and only early mornings, this gives me the entire day to be at home with my gorgeous boy and your pet. I take my boy into town for coffee, to the beach and virtually everywhere I go. When I am providing boarding or even just day care, your pet will be with us also. It’s important to include everyone as much as possible so nobody feels left out. My secure enclosed back garden has a 7ft solid brick wall on all sides, which they have access to all day, and is escape proof. I live right next to Belmont Park, so the dogs get walked several times a day in the park with our local group of dog walkers, so there is plenty of opportunity for socialisation. I never take the chance of letting your pet run free, I do have a long line (10m) which I use to give your pet plenty of freedom to roam but under control. I am very aware of certain breeds and the heat, so you can be assured I would not allow either your pet or my dog out in the blazing sun or heat.
“Our 1 year old black labrador spent the day with Maggie where he was given lots of attention and play throughout the day. She sent photos during the day to give us peace of mind that he was being well looked after and that he was having fun! Thanks Maggie, we will definitely book again”


“Ray had a lovely time, he even behaved in the car on the way home. He loves playing in water he couldn't have had a better day. We are looking forward to our holiday knowing he will be well looked after with Amber. Thank you 😊”


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.

“Our dogs loved her. She is prompt, flexible, friendly, and has excellent communication. I'd recommend her to anyone in the Exeter area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to care for their fur babies.
