Pet Sitting Helston

About: My wife and I are passionate Spaniel enthusiasts, having had dogs in our family all our lives. We currently share our home with two Springer Spaniels and have cared for many friends’ dogs, including Vizslas, Belgian Malinois, Boarder Collies, and Jack Russell’s - to name a few. Truth is we love all dogs. Our teenage children tend to keep to themselves. We are very active and enjoy walking or running the trails or beach walks with the spaniels if that’s what your dog prefers, we are equally as happy relaxing on the sofa with them for a good cuddle. Due to my work schedule, I can only offer dog services from Thursday evening through to Sunday evening - perfect for short weekend get aways. During holiday periods, I may be available for full weeks, and the calendar will be updated to reflect availability. Our dogs have their own dedicated room, and on sunny days they can freely access a secure garden. We believe in working collaboratively to create a plan that best suits your dog’s needs. If your dog is sociable, they are welcome to make friends in the dog room, but if they prefer their own space, we’re happy to accommodate that too. For walks, safety is our top priority, so leads are a must. Together, we can discuss your dogs behaviour on walks to ensure they have the best possible outing.

“I had a really positive experience from start to finish with Rianna. Our meet and greet was easy and reassuring, key exchange was straightforward, and I felt confident leaving my cat and home in her care. Pepe was happy and settled and my home was respected and looked after. Thanks so much Rianna.”

About: Hi, I’m Abby, I'm 22 years old and love dogs!! I had many dogs growing up and was in charge of looking after them, but unfortunately I can't have any pets now due to my lifestyle. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I love going for walks with your furry friends - I live right next to a woodland area, which is perfect for going on walks. I am a full-time nurse, working 4 days/week, and my schedule does vary by the week, but the calendar will be updated regularly. I am a full-time nurse, so I spend 4 days/week working at the hospital, however when I am not on working, I am often available. I would love to spend my days off looking after your furry friends, walking them during the day and keeping them busy! I live in a home with a small enclosed garden. My home is right next to a large park/woodland area with many paths and routes to walk your dogs.

About: ✅ DBS Checked ✅ ​Fully Insured ✅ Pet First Aid and CPR certified I have been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family for the past 10+ years and have finally taken their advice to do so in a more serious capacity, having grown up with the sweetest and most gentle family dog which really drove my passion for animal care. Most of my experience has been centred around house sitting/overnight stays to care for pets, especially pets who are anxious or cannot be alone for long periods of time. Though born and raised in Helston, I have looked after a range of animals (from tropical fish to bearded dragons) for pet owners both in and outside the UK, but have recently moved back to Cornwall. My main focus is dogs/cats but I'm a quick learner and happy to help with whatever pet I can, so don't be afraid to reach out. - 10+ years experience with dogs (6 months to senior) - 7+ years experience with cats - Dog walking & Drop ins based in Helston only (for now) - House Sitting in Helston or anywhere accessible to public transport I currently have a fully free schedule so can easily fit around an owners needs. I may only take 11am-1pm off daily to fit in lunch or last minute/emergency drop ins. I make sure to follow a pet owners instructions to a tee and will treat their pet as if it were my own. I also make sure to leave any house I sit at in the same condition it was left in as that is just common decency and basic respect.

About: Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by the joyful energy and unconditional love that dogs bring. From a young age, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for various breeds, each with their unique personalities and quirks. Whether it was teaching my playful lab new tricks or enjoying quiet moments with my gentle fizzla, every experience has deepened my appreciation for these loyal companions. I've learned to understand their needs, from proper exercise and nutrition to the importance of socialization and mental stimulation. These experiences have not only shaped my skills as a dog sitter but have also enriched my life with countless memories of wagging tails and happy barks. I work from home five days a week, and I love spending my time outdoors with the dogs. Whether it's taking them on coastal walks or discovering new scenic routes along the shore, I enjoy exploring the beauty of nature with my furry companions. I have a spacious, enclosed garden that ensures your dogs are safe and secure while they enjoy their time outdoors. Water and food always available.

“Stephanie was excellent, she came over to meet the cats before I went away, to discuss any requirements, eg. dietary, medical, etc. I received updates and photos for each drop in and I will use Stephanie again next time I need to go away”

“This was our first time using Rover and our first time using a pet sitter we didn’t know personally. Paul was fantastic. He kept us updated and was great with our cat who normally isn’t keen on strangers but seemed to take to Paul straight away. We would definitely recommend him to anyone and will be using him again.”

“Lorena helped day sit at very short notice for my friends Lab that was on heat. Excellent communication. Lorena arrived on time and asked lots of questions to confirm her genuine interest. She was wonderful with the Labrador pup confirmed. She gave updates throughout the afternoon which were much appreciated. Once my friend arrived home, he found his dog to be calm and happy and very comfortable with Lorena. He asked me to give her a top review and will be happy to ask her again for help! Thank you Lorena!”

About: My family has always owned dogs so I have a lifetime of personal experience. I volunteered and multiple animal sanctuaries and zoos growing up and I worked for pets at home for more than three years where i specialized in dog care. I am available most days and weekends for any bookings and will normally be happy to take bookings on short notice. The safety of the pets come first and for that reason I would make sure to supervise them and if in the garden make sure its enclosed and has no open gates. I work part time and have a very flexible daily schedule. The best thing to do is contact me with the dates and times you require and I will do my best to accommodate. The safety of your pets is my top priority, on our walks I like to keep them on the lead untill in certain they will listen to commands from me.

“Katie looked after our two cats for a week, fantastic communication & our cats were very happy & looked after well. Totally recommend Katie ”

About: I’ve looked after my dogs for 6 years now and want to help others who can’t support their dogs because of other commitments. I will always listen to the owners needs and provide my best service possible to make you and your pet happy. I’m a musical theatre performer which means my schedule can be extremely flexible, it will completely depend on job opportunities coming up! I’ll always let you know whether there are times I’m not available, however, for the most part, I’m available and will be ready for the task at hand! Depending on the dog my methods will change! If it’s a dog that doesn’t need much attention I shall let them be, with hourly check ups to see whether they’re hungry or need the bathroom, however, if the dog needs lots of attention I’ll let it stick by my side and care for it like you would. I’ll always follow house rules and will make sure the dog is comfortable and safe.

About: I have looked after animals from a very young age, from little rodents, to dogs, cats and horses and donkeys. I’ve taken in rescue animals from kill centres, helped to foster animals aswell, I enjoy the outdoors, and I have specialised in senior care and disabilities, having looked after senior dogs as pets myself when they don’t want to walk so far but would like to have a little stroll. I’m currently looking at part time, as I work full time. Looking at doing drop in, and dog walking services so I’ll be available. I will treat your home like my own home, will care and attention. Your pets are my priority, I will upload walks and will keep you up to date with the services I provide.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life. This included many different breeds with different temperaments, this is what started my love for dogs. I am a university student going into third year studying Geography. I have finished for the summer, so daytimes and nighttime’s are flexible for me. I am comfortable around any dog no matter the temperament, i can adapt to specifically fit your dogs needs and make sure they are comfortable.

About: My mum had a full time pet grooming business growing up so from 13 years old I always wanted to step in and help wherever I could even if it was to give out treats, I love both cats and dogs and have been pet sitting both aswell as reptiles for 3 years, i can give oral medications if necessary and i’m confident with care for disabled animals who may need expressing etc. i have personal experience with deaf and blind animals. id love to help you out where possible for dogs and cats of any size, breed and temperament :) I sometimes work one day a week on a Sunday in the afternoon helping my mum with her dog grooming business if necessary so I have lots of time to give to other pets and I’m super flexible with notice! :) At the pet owner’s home I am more than happy to do walks as frequently as possible I’m a very active person so this is no problem! I’d love to make the sitting unique to each pet and owner and making notes to your specific routine is a must, my communication is very fast and you can contact at any time, I’m not afraid to contact you if I’m unsure on something.

About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes my whole life, growing up I’ve always been keen to walk, feed, wash and care for them. I have most of my experience with boxers, French and English bulldog puppies from birth. I currently study at uni, so have lots of free time for short and longer walks, especially during holidays and weekends. I’m more than happy for any special arrangements you may need or a negotiable price to work for us both. I’m sure your dog will become comfortable and happy in my hands so you can feel safe and content with their care :) P.s much appreciated if I am able to bring my partner for longer house sits (of course we can meet prior) I’m currently studying geography at uni but have lots of availability around my schedule to walk or provide pet care, plus, my car for longer adventures! Although i am at uni and cannot care for your pet in my home, I can walk and pet sit in your own home in however ways you require

“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful looking after our cat Blossom while we were away! She was able to help us at late notice and sent us lots of pics everyday letting me know how Bloss was doing ! Would highly recommend Jasmine and will definitely be booking her again in future ! (:”

About: Hi, thanks for stopping by. Dogs have always been a constant part of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I had my first dog when I was eight, and over the years growing up we had five dogs in total at home, often caring for several at once. That experience taught me early on how to manage different personalities, routines, and energy levels all under one roof. As an adult, I continued building on that foundation by volunteering as a dog walker with a Cornwall-based charity, The Cinnamon Trust, where I supported elderly and vulnerable owners by walking their dogs. That role helped me develop a calm, patient approach and a strong understanding of dogs who may need extra reassurance or gentle handling. Alongside this, for the past six years I have been dog sitting regularly for clients, so I’m very used to caring for dogs in different homes and adapting quickly to new routines, environments, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every dog as an individual. I take time to understand their routines, comfort levels, and quirks so they feel safe, settled, and happy while their owners are away. At the moment, pet care is a regular part of my daily life. I dogsit most days, so caring for dogs is fully built into my weekly routine rather than something occasional. My days are structured around the dogs I’m looking after, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines provided by their owners. Because I do this so frequently, I’m very used to adapting quickly to different dogs and households, and making sure each dog gets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I have two dogs, so I'm not able to have dogs at my house, but I am able to come to people's homes.
