About: I've had pets all my life ranging from bouncy loud puppies to poorly senior dogs, a king-like cat, a pair of anxious guinea pigs, a bold hamster, and a curious fish. I'm a full time student away from my pets and looking to spend some time with yours hopefully! I currently as a student have full availability on weekends and around my lectures on weekdays, and during holidays can do wherever whenever! Maybe no walks at 3am though for both your pet and mine's sake haha I can do anything required while pet sitting to meet your furry friends needs. I feel confident that I can follow instructions given for a wide variety of pets at different stages in their life, while making sure they feel kept entertained and happy!

“Andrea watched our 1 year old cat, Luna, for a week and it was a great experience! She kept Luna’s space clean, gave her plenty of playtime, and sent daily updates including pictures and videos. We’d recommend her for cat care!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs including my own for over 7 years, I love going on adventures with them and ensuring everyone has a fun and safe day out! I’m currently training as an accountant and work from home on some Wednesdays but every Thursday and Friday and am available at weekends. I am based near Polsloe Bridge in Exeter. I have a 8 year old miniature golden doodle who will also be joining on the walks and is very friendly and well socialised. Although I am based in a flat, I am at the ground level so I have a fenced courtyard garden at the back and numerous parks around the property to go for walks and adventures.

About: I have had dogs since the age of 2 (with a short hiatus in my early twenties!). I have two wondeful rescue dogs of my own (one I adopted in 2019, one was a foster fail in 2023..) so I know how important it is to have your pets in safe hands while you're away. I am flexible as I work from home. I'm based in St Thomas, Exeter. I'm currently not able to board dogs in my own home due to building works but this should change towards the end of 2025. I work remotely and am lucky enough to manage my own work schedule which means I can take pets I'm caring for on walks or toilet breaks whenever is needed. If pet sitting for extended periods I might need to pop back home to walk my own dogs but this can be flexible depending on the needs of the animals I'm looking after. Although I have my own dogs while I am pet sitting they will be at home with my husband so I will be able to give your pet my full care and attention. I have experience with nervous and reactive dogs so am very adaptable to whatever the needs are of the pet I'm caring for.

“Bethany was absolutely brilliant with our two dogs. We were kept updated with photos from their adventures and to see them both having so much fun was lovely. Both were quiet when she left so we knew they had enjoyed their time with her. The house was clean and tidy and even Duggie was given a good brush.”


“Looked after the pups well :) thank you”
