Pet Boarding Holsworthy

About: I’ve looked after neighbours family and friends dogs for years and have always had dogs growing up and as an adult . I’ve had my current dog for nearly 3.5 years and trained him as a puppy Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Having a dog myself ,I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s normal routine and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully and always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe space to rest. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. My garden is safe and fenced to ensure your dog will be safe and will keep an eye on them the whole time they are with me

“Highly recommend them always get back to you quickly for the app with updates and pictures what they have been up to very professional our lovely Dog really enjoyed his time away. We will definitely be using her again to look after him. It was lovely getting the update where we’re away in the pictures knowing he’s all happy and safe please don’t hesitate on using her for your pet needs. Really recommend it.”

“Millie and Dan were amazing looking after my dachshund lunatics. We got daily updates and loads of pictures of all their adventures. Millie allows the dogs to feel at home, and creates a very relaxed environment for the dogs. My dogs came home in very good conditions and very content. We will definitely rebook when we go on our next holiday.”

“I can’t quite express how thrilled and thankful we are to have found Julia! She’s everything we could ask for in a sitter and our little dog, Heidi had the best time! She was warm and friendly, and loved and cared for Heidi as if she was her own. Communication was excellent - she sent lots of pictures and updates, and responded quickly to messages. When we first met Julia at our meet and greet, she asked lots of questions and took the time to really get to know Heidi and us. Nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond to make Heidi comfortable in her home. She even gave us a tour of her property so that we’d have an idea of where Heidi would be hanging out. Knowing that our girl was in such good hands made it easy for us to relax on our trip, and we didn’t worry about her once. When we arrived to collect Heidi, it was clear that she had really bonded with Julia and they’d become the best of friends - Heidi didn’t want to leave at first and kept running back for more cuddles! Honestly, I can’t praise Julia enough. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful friend to care for Heidi when we go away. Thanks a million, Julia! Xx”

About: Fully insured, DBS checked, Pet first aid and Pet Sitting Diploma. I have lifelong experience caring for animals, having grown up with family pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits), caring for farm animals from my uncles farm (piglets, calves and chickens etc.). This passion and care has continued into adulthood. I currently care for my own pets and have gained professional experience through Pawfect Companions, providing reliable and compassionate care for animals in their own homes. My experience includes dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic care and medication, ensuring animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has unique needs and always tailor my care to suit their personality, routine, and wellbeing. I also have a background in safeguarding and community support. Animals have always been a part of my life, a household does feel like home without a one 🐾 Working full time remotely allows me to be flexible to meet your needs. Finally living my dream building up a pet care and dog walking business Barnstaple based with surrounding areas My pet care services are animal centred to your pets needs. Services are tailored and personalised to all care needs. Lots of cuddles and love, treated like my own

“This was our first time leaving our pup, Monty, with anyone outside of immediate family for an extended period of time, and the experience couldn’t have been better. For both us and Monty. Susan and Terry welcomed us into their home for a meet and greet prior to Monty’s one week stay and we immediately felt like Monty would be safe and happy with them. During the week Monty stayed with them, we received regular updates and photos of everything they were getting up to, which helped put us at ease while we were away missing our pup. 5/5, would highly recommend and use Susan and Terry again. Thank you!”

About: I love spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. You can count on me to provide safe, attentive, and friendly care. I have done multiple boardings and grew up with two dogs. My girlfriend works full time at home. I like to walk the dogs before and after work, depending on requirements. Weekends I like a long hike on the moors. We have a fenced garden with a paddling pool. Quick access to the moors or the sea. We can offer a dog bed if required.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to big goofy gentle giants. That experience only grew stronger at home with my own crazy, lovable German Shorthaired Pointer, Bear, who keeps life full of energy, chaos, and laughs. I bring that same mix of care, patience, and playful enthusiasm to every dog I look after—treating each one like part of the family, celebrating every zoomie, and making sure tails are wagging from start to finish. A typical day for me is a cosy mix of stay-at-home mum life with my one year old little boy and Bear, who both believe every morning should start with enthusiasm, noise, and absolutely no lie-ins. My day usually flows between naps, snacks, laundry, and the usual mum multitasking—always with Bear right in the middle of it all, supervising like she runs the household. Walks, playtime, and little pockets of chaos are woven through the day, whether it’s a quick dash outside with Bear or an impromptu zoomie session in the garden. Evenings are for winding down with family time, a tired but happy dog, and that comforting kind of chaos that comes with a full, love-filled home. I’m also available at weekends, offering the same care, cuddles, and cheerful chaos—perfect for when your dog needs a little extra love while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I make sure my home is fully pet-friendly and secure, with anything potentially harmful safely out of reach and doors, gates, and bins properly secured. I create a warm, cosy space where dogs can relax and feel completely at home, with fresh water always available and a quiet spot if they need a break from all the excitement. Our days are a happy mix of walks, playtime, and cuddles, along with life at home playing alongside my 1-year-old little boy—so there’s always a bit of extra giggles, gentle chaos, and lots of love to go around. I follow a calm, consistent routine so every dog feels settled and secure, and I always keep a close eye on them as they become part of our little family. With plenty of care, attention, and a home full of warmth (and wagging tails), I aim to make every dog feel safe, happy, and completely adored while in my care. 🐾💛

“George was an amazing dog sitter! He was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. George kept me updated and treated my dog like his own. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking him again.”

“Jet & Shadow had a lovely time with Maz & Coco with lots of fresh air and exercise. Maz kept us updated with photos of the dogs out walking and having cuddles on the sofa. Jet & Shadow were happy and relaxed when we picked them up, and fell asleep almost as soon as we got home! Thank you for looking after them so well Maz & Coco: we'll definitely book with you again!”

About: We have 4 dogs & 1 cat. A chihuahua/daschund, a mini daschund, a shitzu & a shitzu cross! I have grown up my whole life with dogs around, a house is not a home without them 🥰 I have helped birth & nurture 2 sets of puppies over the last year, as well as skill training all 4 dogs we currently have. I have lots of experience looking after dogs, for family, friends, colleagues and neighbours and I treat all animals as if they are my children, giving them all the love and attention possible!

About: Neighbors and family have relied upon me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs, cats and other pets. I have 1 dog who lives with me part time, that I walk daily, feed, and groom. We also have 2 cats that lives at home with me full time. I currently do not work so I can be available to meet your pet's needs at any time that suits you and your pet's needs. I am currently working through animal care courses with first aid and general day to day care. I will keep an eye on your pet when/if they have toys out or chewable treats. If they need to go out for walks I will make sure they have the appropriate kit needed and will keep them on the leash unless specified. When they are outside in the garden I will make sure that they are supervised aswell.
