Pet Boarding Exmouth

“Charlie enjoyed some lovely walks with Angela. She went above and beyond and repaired his bed after he gave it a chew! Thank you so much for looking after him so well.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I work full-time but over three condensed days, which means I have plenty of time during the rest of the week to dedicate to dog walking, sitting, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I share my life with a rescue dog who is incredibly friendly and has never met another dog he didn’t like. We spend our days off exploring all kinds of places together—coastal paths, woodlands, beaches, as well as towns, villages, shops, and dog-friendly cafés. I understand how important enrichment, exercise, and socialisation are for a happy, well-balanced dog. I have a particular passion for rescue dogs and believe every dog deserves a fulfilling, loving life, regardless of their start. I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s high-energy adventures or a calmer, more relaxed pace. I’ve looked after many friends’ dogs over the years, from regular walks to overnight stays, and I always treat them as if they were my own. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog go home happy, content, and tired after a fun day. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about dogs to look after your pet, I’d love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time over three condensed days, which means I have several days each week fully available for dog walking and sitting. My schedule is known up to 8 weeks in advance, so I can plan ahead and accommodate bookings where possible. On my days off, I usually start the day with a morning walk between 9–10am, lasting at least an hour. In good weather, this can turn into longer outings of several hours, with breaks for rest, water, and lunch. I also provide a shorter, calmer evening walk around 6pm for 20–30 minutes. Dogs in my care have regular access to the garden for toilet breaks throughout the day, and I always ensure a final toilet break around 9pm before settling in for the night. I’m happy to adapt my routine depending on each dog’s needs, whether they prefer longer adventures or a more relaxed pace. I provide a safe, relaxed, and home-from-home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. In my home, dogs are welcome in all areas and can choose where they feel most comfortable—whether that’s on the sofa or in their own bed in the lounge. I have a fully secure, fenced garden with no external access, so they can safely enjoy time outside whenever needed. I don’t use crates, but I may be able to accommodate one for smaller dogs if that’s part of their usual routine. For overnight stays, dogs are welcome upstairs and can sleep on my bed or in the spare room—whatever helps them feel most settled and secure. Although my own dog is not food reactive, I always feed dogs separately to ensure they each eat their own meals safely and at their own pace. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I am very respectful of routines and house rules. I would need to bring my own friendly, well-socialised dog with me, and I’m happy to follow your preferences—whether that’s keeping dogs off furniture or maintaining specific routines.

“Holly and Giles provide a first-class service, and you really couldn't wish for anything more. This was our second time using them, but our first time having them house-sit and leaving Willow for more than two nights. They sent regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We came back to a happy pup, a happy cat, and a spotless home. They are wonderful people, and Willow and Bertie absolutely adore them!”

“Healy visited just for the day to see if everyone got along ok. He had a great day and will deffinately be returning for a longer visit. He now has Barney as a new doggy friend and two new human friends.”

“Reggie had a fantastic three night stay with Jenny. From our first meeting to the stay, communication has been great. During the stay, Jenny sent us plenty of updates and photos, including on his walks. He was having such a lovely time we were a bit worried Reggie wouldn't want to come home! I would definitely recommend Jenny.”

“Cherie went put of her way to make Mitsu comfortable in her house, sleeping in front of the fire, & when the bit of chicken I had left her in addition to her normal food, as she wasn't eating very well Cherie supplied her with some more. Above and beyond expectation. Thank you”

“Darran looked after Cully for 3 days and I would happily ask him to look after Cully again in the future. Darran took care to make sure his dog Frank and Cully were both happy in each others company at our first meeting before accepting to take Cully. During Cully’s stay, he provided regular updates with photos and videos. Cully had a great time and clearly enjoyed his stay with Darran. I would definitely ask Darran again in the future.”

“Georgina was great with our elderly Jack Russell, she has a very reassuring and caring temperament, is efficient with communications and very accommodating. Would certainly recommend.”

Darren P.

“Tilly did a fantastic job of looking after our terrier Buzz for the evening while we saw friends. She sent lots of photo updates and it was clear to see he was having a fab time with his new friends. Thanks Tilly, we will definitely be rebooking you in the future!”

Darren P.

“Our boys had the most wonderful time with Jacqui. Their first stay and we received lots of pictures and videos of them enjoying themselves. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you so much”

“Eleanor is amazing. She kindly looked after our black lab with just a few days notice, for the day. Flash, our labrador, only ever stayed with friends once, when she was very young, so shy to stay with other people. When we collected her that evening, she was a happy dog and certainly seemed to have a great time. Im sure she was worried at first , understandably. I would absolutely contact Eleanor again to look after Flash. Thank you so very much, not only did you make the day easier for Flash, but for us too, was such a busy day.”

Arlette J.

“Alex was amazing at looking after our Goldie, Digby. She was excellent with communication throughout, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again :)”

“Sammy was very happy where he stayed and the minders loved having him he was a good boy and no trouble. They told me that they will have him again. Overall I am very pleased.”

Glen W.

“Thank you so much Ella for looking after Florence so well, you really cared for her in her latter years and she looks great, I appreciate your photos and messages while I was away, having an older pet and having to leave them is hard, but you have made this process very comfortable for both of us. Thank you Gary”

“Holly is a fabulous sitter and I would have no hesitation recommending her for anyone looking for a 5-star experience for their dog. Holly gave our energetic spaniel loads of exercise and attention, and has a lovely quiet home and garden, perfect for more nervous dogs. We will be back!”

Karen H.

“We’d really recommend Jan & Ed. They really seemed to care about our dog and he appeared happy and calm when we collected him. Even following Ed around and looking at him happily which was a great comfort as it showed he’d been well looked after. Thank you.”
