“It was great Kirsty took the time to visit beforehand to get to know Charles. He’s a nervy dog but he took to her straight away. The pics show a relaxed dog having fun. He’s properly tired after the walk. Well done Kirsty! I’ve booked another visit already!”


“Great communication and was brilliant with a booking with short notice… most importantly though, he got on great with the doggo. Would recommend and I intend to book again.”


“Cece is absolutely fantastic with our dog, George. Very reliable walker and sitter, excellent communication and goes the extra mile which is really thoughtful and very much appreciated. We will continue to book her in the future.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m also outdoorsy and love staying active, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air, fun walks, and playtime if that’s their style! Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy environment or an energetic companion, I’m here to provide the same level of love, patience, and care that I’d give my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home with me while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to be home several days a week. On those days, I love having a pet companion around! It motivates me to take breaks, get outdoors, and enjoy some fresh air with a furry friend. I make sure their needs fit naturally into my routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra attention during the day. Pets in my care are always treated like family. At home, we have a secure garden for fresh air and play, plus the quay and green space just steps away—perfect for safe, relaxing walks. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routine closely and keep things calm, clean, and familiar. Whether at my place or yours, your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Tim has big heart for all creatures big or small. He definitely deliveres amazing care for any pet in his care . If anybody is looking for kindhearted and reliable person Tim is the one Big thank you from Sophie and our whole family ❤️”


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

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’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.

“We came back Sunday evening and we’ve noticed that our cat was very happy. I think it was a great idea to have Lara looking after Lúa. Lara is very professional, she answer my messages promptly always. I would definitely consider her to look after Lúa in the future and also would recommend her to our friends.”


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.

About: I’ve had pets since the day I was born meaning I have years of experience taking care of them and being relied on. I’ve done everything from feeding, walking, playing with and toilet training cats and dogs from young until old age :) I’m currently studying at university and work part-time giving me plenty of time to look after your pets, especially during the holidays. My schedule varies weekly so I can do a variety of different days and times. At home I take care of my dog and 3 cats. This involves feeding, playing with, walking and toilet-training them when they were young. I have also administered medicine to some of my pets when they needed it.

About: Hi there, I’m Evan (22). I own a large greyhound and have experience in big breeds, reactivity, and puppy training. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs. I have cared for such a variety - from Labrador puppies to a Great Dane! I grew up with all kinds of animals which fuelled my love for them, and I have a soft spot for large dogs. I have also cared for cats! I promise to make your furry friend feel safe, loved, and cared for - no matter their needs. Monday-Thursday: dog walks after 6pm, drop-in’s after 6pm. Friday: dog walks after 6pm, drop-in’s after 6pm, house sitting overnight. Saturday: dog walks & drop-in’s all day, house sitting. Sunday: dog walks & drop-in’s all day. Due to my new work schedule, I’ll only be available after 5pm on most weekdays, though I will update my calendar every time I have a free weekday. Free on weekends. I understand the importance of trusting someone with the care of your furry family member. I will give you updates and pictures so you’re confident in knowing what’s going on and will follow the routine and any guidance you give me. Any mess the pet(s) make will be cleaned up by myself, and I will continue any puppy training. I will ensure they’re comfortable, played with, fed, hydrated, and cuddled!

About: Hi, this is Yves, I m from Hongkong. I have taken care for my relatives and friends dogs for ages, feeding, making fresh meal, dog cookies, dog walks, cleaning paws after walk and potty. I moved to Exeter few months ago from Oxford with my partner and now just want to start with something could work at home, soI can be all day and night available to every furry babies, I can do dogwalk in day time 12-6,or staying in any day in the week! I have a fenced sharing garden and a large park near my home like 1 min walk! And 5 mins walk to the Quay!! I have no pet in the home, they can go on sofa and have all the attention they want! My partner also works from home like 2-3 days a week, so we will always have someone at home for the dogs or bring them for walkie.

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats, having labradors, border terriers, and two german shorthaired pointers as well as two tabbies. I love animals of all sizes and shapes and have a genuine love for keeping them happy and healthy!! I have helped around the village i lived in before coming to uni with home visits and walks. And now I am at university, not only am I missing all of my pets, but I would love to be able to help out with busy schedules. I have trained two puppies, my german shorthaired pointer is a full working dog and I did lots of the training with that. I have also looked after a 15 year old dog, so I am very versatile with all ages and all sizes. I am also first aid trained for animals. At uni I currently only have Tuesdays that are full with uni work, but on mondays, thursdays and fridays I am free apart from one one hour block. I am also free on Sundays all day. I will just ask about specifics of what you do and don’t allow in your house, as to not create any naughty habits. Pets will not be left unattended for any period longer than an hour, and when I am with them i will make sure to play and take them on regular walks to keep them entertained and happy.


About: I've had experience with quite a few dogs in my life and love all animals. My first dog was an American Eskimo when I was in primary school. My next, a sweet Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix from secondary school through to my uni days. Within the last five years, I also had two beautiful American Akitas who I've had to rehome due to my life circumstances changing drastically, not being able to fly them over to the UK (I've moved here to study law at uni), my mom not being able to care for both them and her German Shepherd while I was away due to her own health and lack of necessary resources, and knowing that I could not give them both the time and attention they individually require if they were both still with me. I am still healing from the heartbreak, however we made sure to rehome them to people we fully trust. Their rehoming could not have been any luckier and for the best as they are each with new families who happen to be friends (they get playdates, so they are still bonded!), in my same neighbourhood back home in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who both devote so much of their time and have all the resources that each of my babies deserve. I still keep in touch with both families and are welcome to visit them any time I am in town. Upon arriving in the UK, I petsat for two different families using TrustedHousesitters and still keep in touch with both. I took care of two Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mixes for one, and a Border Terrier and cat for the other. I currently work part-time jobs, so my schedule can be sporadic. However, I would absolutely love to walk or sit for your pets if I am able to! I am available for walks depending on the time and day. I'm not able to take care of pets in my own home at present (I hope to be able to in the future as I am currently in a student flat), however, in a pet parent's home, I care for pets in the way I'm asked by the parent(s) so long as it is caring and respectful for the pet. I stick to their usual routine because I know this would make pets feel most comfortable while giving their parent(s) peace of mind.

“Lin was lovely with my 12 week old puppy. She stayed with her for 2 hours while I visited a friend - they played and snuggled on the sofa. Lin has a lovely attitude to dogs, she's very gentle and Tilly absolutely loved her new play buddy. Thank you Lin!”

Natasha S.
“I first met Natasha when she came to house-sit and look after my two Cockapoos. She came here from Canada as she was planning to start a degree at Exeter Uni. She took care of the dogs for the two weeks we were away and then continued to stay with us whilst she was looking for accommodation, which helped me enormously whilst renovating the house. We have continued to stay in touch since she moved to Exeter and we think of her as our 'surrogate daughter'. She is a lovely person - inside and out - is kind, warm and generous, and we are feel fortunate to have her in our life. The dogs obviously adore her as well and when she was taking care of them, she was very conscientious in ensuring she got everything right with regards to their feed and medicine and walking routine. She has had dogs of her own and this is very clear in all her dealings with my dogs, as she is very experienced. We would have no hesitation in recommending her as a pet caregiver, other than that by doing so, it could reduce our chances of having her to look after our dogs again! If we could, we would kidnap her to have her with us full-time!”


Lin C.

“Lin was lovely with my 12 week old puppy. She stayed with her for 2 hours while I visited a friend - they played and snuggled on the sofa. Lin has a lovely attitude to dogs, she's very gentle and Tilly absolutely loved her new play buddy. Thank you Lin!”
