Pet Boarding Honiton

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Bramble, received while we were away on holiday! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable and loving hands and that she’d have a playmate, gorgeous Buddy to hang out with too!! It was clear right away that Jo truly cares about the animals she looks after. Bramble was given plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. We received updates on how she was doing with photos, which really put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our trip without any worry. When we returned, Bramble was relaxed and happy. It honestly felt more like she had a little holiday of her own! Would 100% recommend Jo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much 😊”

“The dogs appeared to have had a wonderful week with daily walks. Imogen communicated really well and sent photos and updates. We would definitely book again.”

“Yves and her partner looked after our 2 boys for a day and night while we got married. They were amazing, offering them a home away from home. We got regular picture and video updates showing the fun they had. Both dogs are home with us again, tired out from all the fusses and cuddles. 100% would recommend and will use their services again.”

“What could be better than leaving your dog with a vet? Leaving your dog with two vets. Lovely, friendly, hospitable couple, both qualified vets. They looked after my large, energetic lurcher with great care and affection. Cannot recommend them highly enough.”

About: I have successfully looked after many dogs for many years, and love their company. I did have a wonderful dog of my own who was a rescue dog and became incredible company. I have over 30 years experience with looking after dogs and cats. I enjoy looking after other peoples' beloveds while they go on holiday, or when they have work commitments. I have also had many cats of my own and loved them all. I live close to parks and other great walks for dogs. I am a writer and professional artist working from home. Plenty of time for walks, company and play. I have a fenced garden and live on a quiet road. I will always follow your dog's routine, as arranged with yourself, to help make them feel at home. For example, meal times, any special diets, or requirements. It’s always helpful to know your dog’s temperament with other dogs, how they are on/off lead. They will be well cared for. I also paint dog portraits in watercolour, please see photos.

“Lulu had an amazing stay! I received regular updates and honestly started to worry that Lulu wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be using Sarah again!”

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.

“It's never easy to leave a pet but everything was great wth Helen. Really prompt responses and all questions covered. It was clear that Clementine had a simply fabulous experience with her and her family. It really felt like Clem was welcomed like one of their own. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”

“From the first day we met Daniel, we knew we could trust her. And our intuition didn't disappoint us. We entrusted our dogs to her for nine nights. We received photos and stayed in touch the entire time, on vacation is the most important thing, knowing that everything is alright. We recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you again.”

“Cub had the best time at Emily’s! It’s lovely getting photos and knowing he’s been out for a good walk. He settles in straightaway and we’ve already booked him in for his third visit!”

“Angela is such a caring person, and both she and her husband are absolutely lovely. Archie was extremely well looked after during his stay and it was clear he was happy, relaxed and in very good hands.

“We are so happy to have met Holly! Our dogs had the best weekend with her. It was the first time our dogs have stayed away from home so we were a little worried about how it might go. But Holly istantly made us feel like they are in good hands, wasnt phased at all with our dogs needs and instructions we wrote out for her. Lovely home and massive garden, and she took them on lots of walks. We really enjoyed seeing the daily photo updates aswell! The dogs are already looking forward to their next holiday with her x”

About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home

About: I am an experienced dog owner, and fosterer for a couple of rescues. I have fostered lots of different breeds from Yorkshire terriers and dachshunds, to poodles and pomskys! I am confident handling nervous and quirky dogs. I welcome every dog into my home as if they are my own. I work for a dog food company and my whole live revolves around giving dogs the best life possible. I work fully remotely from home with flexible hours so I can adapt my routine to fit your dogs needs. Typically our routine is made up of 3 walks a day, and a last wee break before bed! But I can cater to any needs and requirements. I have a fully fenced (6ft) enclosed garden, dogs have full access to when required via patio doors. I have 2 friendly resident dogs - a 14kg mixed breed female and a 9kg male poodle. Both are neutered & are rescues but are used to dogs coming and going! I do have a house cat, but he can be kept separately from any visiting dogs as and when necessary. Dogs are allowed in my bedroom / bed at night if needed.

“Otto LOVES his time with Agata! She is reliable, experienced and capable. Agata is super friendly and was flexible when we over ran the booked timings.”

“Darren has been excellent with our Marlon. We were very nervous as Marlon didn’t have a great start to life and can be very anxious and we have never left him before. Before we even got an hour away from dropping him off I received videos and pictures of Marlon with his tail wagging happy as anything, he didn’t even pay attention to the fact we were gone! Marlon is a bit nervous when it comes to people but Darren was very gentle and patient and by the end of our meet and greet before the stay Marlon was comfortable letting Darren stroke him etc. Darren has updated us throughout the stay with pictures and videos and our dog is as happy as anything playing with his lovely dog Frank. He made sure we were all happy before the stay and showed us where Marlon would be staying and that we could bring whatever we needed to make Marlon’s stay comfortable. He has been excellent from start to finish and I can’t fault a single thing. It has given us so much piece of mind. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi, I'm Dawn, and I'd love to welcome your dog into my home while you're away. As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a friendly young Sprocker Spaniel, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My aim is to provide a safe, calm and loving home where your dog will be treated like one of the family—not just another booking. Your dog will enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and attention, along with a comfortable place to relax after a fun day. I'll stick to your dog's usual routine as much as possible to help them feel settled and happy. I'm experienced in caring for others through my professional background in training and care, and I bring that same patience, reliability and attention to detail to looking after every dog. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive the care that's right for them. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, safe and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending my time with my own dog. My Sprocker Spaniel is a much-loved part of the family and loves spending tine with other dogs, so our days already revolve around walks, playtime, training, enrichment and plenty of cuddles. I work flexibly, which means I can provide lots of company, regular toilet breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy getting outdoors whatever the weather, so your dog will receive the exercise and mental stimulation they need, balanced with time to relax in a calm, comfortable home. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and included, so when your dog stays with me, they'll be treated as part of the family and cared for just as I care for my own. On the odd day that I have to attend my physical work place, my partner, Neil, works from home so the dogs are never left on their own. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and loved. I'll take the time to get to know your dog's routine, personality and any specific needs so I can provide care that's familiar and reassuring. I have a fully enclosed garden and live close to the beach as well as several nice dog walking areas so every trip out is an adventure. I'll ensure they have regular walks, plenty of playtime, fresh water, meals according to your instructions, and lots of affection and companionship. I'll also keep up with any training routines, medication or special requirements if needed. If your dog stays in my home, they'll be welcomed as part of the family in a calm, comfortable environment with plenty of attention and opportunities to rest, play and explore. If I'm caring for them in your home, I'll stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine to help them feel settled while you're away. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and receiving the same love and care I'd want for my own.
