Top-rated Exeter doggy day care sitters

“Karen is brilliant with my dog. He loves her. I just don’t have to worry about Buddy at all. She takes fantastic care of him. Totally spoilt.”


“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”


“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.”


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.
“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”


“Esmé and Will have been absolutely lovely with Blue. They’ve asked questions and looked after him as well as I would’ve. He’s always excited when we get to their house. It’s been so great I’m having them look after him on a recurrent basis. I would highly recommend them.”


“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 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

“Rosalind was amazing with Winky!! Super flexible with our pick up and drop off times, and fab communication throughout the day! 10/10 would defs recommend and use again. Thank you!! x”


“I would highly recommend Sara-Jayne. My puppy Mabel is always so happy and excited when she sees her. It gives me real peace of mind to know she is in such good and caring hands.”


“Fang is a perfect dog sitter! She looked after our precious fur baby as if he was her own. Our fur baby is elderly, completely blind and suffers from severe separation anxiety. He came back very happy and content. He settled very quickly as Fang reassured and comforted him. We got lots of photos and updates throughout each day, which was very reassuring for us. I would highly recommend Fang to take care of your fur baby.”


About: I had to leave Maya, my beloved Maltese, to my family's care when I moved to the UK for my master’s in 2015. She's being spoiled and flourishing but greatly missed. Since then, spending time with dogs has always been the highlight of my day, and I would love the chance to share that joy by caring for your pup. I’m all about cuddles, walks, and tailoring care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Please let me know about any health issues or special requirements your dog has—I’ll always follow your instructions carefully to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a soft spot for senior dogs but love them all the same. Whether you have an energetic, playful pup or a gentle old soul, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable and well looked after. I’m available for dog walking, pop-in visits, and home stays, and my schedule can be quite flexible. Get in touch, and let’s work out how I can best help you and your furry friend! I am a researcher for the university working mostly from home and flexibly. I don't have a garden at home but live next to Bartholomew Terrace and the Quay. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to any medication or special routines. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your dog’s usual routine to minimise stress. For walks, I prioritise safe routes and keep a close eye on their behaviour and surroundings. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment to make sure your pup feels happy and at ease while you’re away.

“Victor had a lovely time with Mollir and her dog Nellie. Thank you”


“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! 😀🙌🏻”


“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 😊”


“Blue has had the absolute best day! I'm not even sure he wanted to come home! Highly recommend Jodie to look after your beloved pooch ❤️ Thank you so much!”


“Joe looked after our 10 year old Cocker poo and energetic 3 month old Cocker Spaniel for the day at short notice! Joe was very kind with them and they both seemed to enjoy the time, wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joe to anyone else in the future.”


“Zoe - Thank you so much! Amazing job with Oreo, who can be a little jittery with new people. Apparently she couldn't wait to get rid of us to 'hang out' with you and M. Great communication, pics and reliability - thank you! Sure she can't wait to visit you again - and it will be sooner than later 100%. Thoroughly recommend Zoe.”


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, as well as other dogs I have looked after. This has resulted in a very harmonious, calm household. 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. I feel 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 however 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.
