“This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a bit apprehensive - but as soon as we met Jo, we were completely put at ease! She did a fantastic job looking after our dog and cat, and kindly kept us updated on how their time together was going. Highly recommend!”

“Tim helped us out at the last minute when our regular dog/ house sitter became ill just before our holiday. He went out of his way to accommodate our short time scales and came some way to meet our elderly Cocker Spaniel and find out what was needed. Tim arrived punctually and sent messages when prompted and wasn’t intrusive. He left the house in good order and most importantly our lovely dog seemed well cared for. Tim described our old boy as ‘unique’ and as such needed some special care. We’re confident that Tim offered that and we would ask him again should the need arise.”

“Lara was great with Tryff and super helpful with a last minute booking for our wedding weekend. She brought him up to the venue for photos which was greatly appreciated. We'll happily use her again for when we're away at weekends.”

“It was great to be able to leave our rather difficult terrier in the capable hands of Patrick. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Reggie was happy and well cared for.”

“Ros was a great dog sitter. She was very responsive in booking, arrived on time, took lots of notes to make sure she took good care of Morty and Lucy. She porvided updates during the stay (always appreciated), keeping the dogs cool in the hot weather. Dogs were very happy and house all in good order when I got back. Will definiitely use Ros again.”

“CeCe is just such a lovely lady. She looked after our 14 month old Labrador and 15 year old cat and they were both very happy. CeCe kept us updated with photos etc. Our house was left immaculate. We will definitely use CeCe again x”

“I am very pleased as to how Chloe looked after the cat and the home while I was away in a different country. She sent several pictures per day, and I will be booking her again in the future!”

About: I've always loved taking care of pets for friends, family and neighbours. Having moved to Exeter 4 years ago for university, I always said I missed my dog the most! I looked for any excuse to look after any of my team mates dogs, or head to the beach myself. Growing up we have had two rescue dogs, which proved challenging initially, but has been so rewarding to train and see them both feel comfortable in my family home. I can ensure your dog will have an enjoyable, long walk and explore somewhere new, and be loved as if it's my own! I'm currently a professional rugby player for Exeter Chiefs Women, training 3 days a week, with matches on weekends. I am looking for some part time opportunities for day care and dog walking around the training schedule and can make this work around you! I have a fenced outdoor space and a spacious living room; I am close to either Dawlish, Exmouth or the Exeter Quay so will ensure your pet has a decent walk throughout the day

“Chantelle is a fantastic sitter. Koda absolutely loves her and she took her for lots of walks and play time with friends. I felt at ease knowing Koda was in good hands. Chantelle kept me updated with pictures and messages about Koda which I really appreciated. I will definitely book again and really recommend to anyone 😊”

“Mia was great. She arrived on time, took very good care of our dog Buddy. Everything was left in order, and Buddy was happy and comfortable. She was easy to communicate with and just really pleasant to work with. I'd be happy to have her dog-sit again.”

About: Hi I’m Anneka (39) and I absolutely love dogs. My daughter (Ruby 16) desperately wants me to get one however I also work 30hrs a week. So we have compromised to Rover and we have met in the middle. I’m very attentive and want you to feel at ease leaving your loved one with me. I live close to Exeter quay and I’m always going on long walks. Also willing to take dogs in my car to different locations. It would be a pleasure to look after your furry friend! If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Many thanks, Anneka. My availability varies. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to look after your dog. You not only get me you get Ruby too. Safety is my number one priority. Your dog will never be left alone. They will always have access to fresh water and fed regularly when needed.

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.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Nan. Absolutely loved how she put more effort than I asked her to in taking care of our Maltipoo Chadwick. Our dog can be very anxious when we’re away but she was able to calm him down. We felt very safe leaving him with Nan. Will definitely book again when we’re away. Thank you so much Nan!”

Myah is a great sitter - responsive, reliable and very attentive to the dogs and what they need and how they behave. Both our dogs are rescues and have their challenges. Myah came for a meet and greet and then a walk to get to know them both. We felt very confident to leave our house and dogs with her and would highly recommend.

Sue was fantastic. A lovely, warm person who hit it off with my cat, Joe. Upon introduction some days earlier, it was obvious Joe was going to be happy. Sue asked lots of questions about Joe's likes, dislikes and habits. It suited Joe much better to have someone stay overnight, despite waking Sue at some unearthly hour one morning . Sorry Sue! It was ideal as Joe is not used to being on his own very much, and certainly not overnight. This also meant he could use the garden as and when, rather than being kept in. One happy cat, one happy owner. I would highly recommend Sue.
Tim was totally professional and coped really well with our elderly dog who has mobility issues. We were quite anxious about leaving him as he’d injured his paw three days before we left and was hardly walking at all. He was also on six tablets a day. Tim took it all in his stride and from our initial meeting the day before we left, we felt confident that he would cope. We were reassured that Tim was getting to know Oscar and that he was managing in these quite difficult circumstances as he sent us regular updates and photos. We chose Tim because we could see that he was an experienced sitter with many repeat customers and we were so pleased that we did as not everyone would have coped with a poorly old dog who was struggling to walk and needed medication. It was hard to leave Oscar in this situation but he was walking much better when we returned and had clearly formed a relationship with Tim. We really can’t recommend Tim highly enough.
Jamie looked after my dog Ivan and my daughter’s dog Barnaby (who is blind) for just under 3 weeks whilst we were away on a family holiday! From the very start I knew the boys would be in good hands and they were …Jamie looked after our home was caring and communicated well at all times sending us photos and updates throughout! Thanks so much Jamie for looking after them so well they absolutely loved being with you , helping out at the park run , all the walks and fun they had with you! Jamie is highly competent giving Ivan his medication and even removing a tic from Barnabys face after communicating with us . Excellent communication and care…. I can’t thank you enough for looking after them so well :). The boys are missing you !!

Chantelle is a fantastic sitter. Koda absolutely loves her and she took her for lots of walks and play time with friends. I felt at ease knowing Koda was in good hands. Chantelle kept me updated with pictures and messages about Koda which I really appreciated. I will definitely book again and really recommend to anyone 😊

Nacho was immediately at ease with Zuzia at the meet and greet, so I felt really confident leaving him with her. Over the weekend she shared lots of sweet photos of him and I could tell he was very happy in her company. House looked great when I came home. Wouldn't hesitate to book again😊

Rachel was brilliant, highly recommend her and will definitely call on her again. She was quick to respond, polite, arranged a meet and greet, arrived on time and asked questions to clarify Sadie’s care needs. Sadie seemed very happy in her company. Thank you Rachel ☺️

Tahni stayed with Honey from the 26th to the 28th of December and was absolutely wonderful. She looked after Honey incredibly well and clearly took great care of her. Communication was excellent throughout, I received regular updates and felt completely at ease knowing Honey was in such good hands. Honey was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily book her again. Thank you Tahni, Regards Simone
