Dog Boarding in Mid Devon

“We can’t thank Jan and Ed enough for taking such good care of our Peggy. They made us feel so at ease with leaving her in their care with lots of updates and photos. She loved it! Thank you again to a lovely caring couple, we’ll have to book another holiday now so she can stay again! Yasmin, James & Peggy ?❤️”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and animals since a baby. Always been in a home with dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish. Spent alot of my childhood with horses. Volunteered a lot of my teenage years with the blue cross looking after the cats and dogs. I love the way animals give you so much love and never judge you, they’re such rewarding creatures to be around. I have a busy family home with 4 young children. I love to be outside with my very own Labrador. Especially if it involves water and sand or a big open field to burn off some steam. I know to give our pets space when needed, I have plenty of stair gates to seperate rooms in our house, to keep excitable children or animals away from each other 😂 I’m a stay at home mum. The longest I tend to be out of the house is to do the school run or to do a food shop. My husband does shift work so he’s normally around quite a bit of the day. I have lots of people in our home to give plenty of love. I know when an animal shows signs of needing to be left alone. I have plenty of ways over separating children and pets 😂 I am home most of the day. I love to spend my time outside burning off steam. The children are always asking for more and more animals to join my already busy child/animal home 😂 so i figured this would be a lovely way of caring for and meeting new animal friends. I too, also use this service to look after my lovely lab when i go on family holidays. I much prefer the thought of her being with a loving family than being stuck in kennels. I hope you choose me to provide a loving family home for your pet. So you can enjoy whatever it is you’d like to do. 🙂

“Sonny loved his stay! Charlotte & John clearly love animals and he had a great time. Really appreciated the updates and photos we were sent for peace of mind.Will definitely book again!”

“Patrick had a wonderful weekend stay with Kerry! He was very well looked after and I was kept up to date with lots of photos about his day. I'm not sure he wanted to leave! Thank you so much Kerry!!”

“My energetic cockapoo had a lovely stay with George and Bella and his new buddy Riley 🐾 he was looked after very well, I had regular updates and he really enjoyed his stay and came home relaxed after his time there, many thanks B & R :)”

“Karen was lovely with Reggie & he seems to have really enjoyed his few days with her & her lovely dogs. She treated him like one of her own dogs & he seemed really happy & relaxed when I picked him up. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her & will definitely use her again to look after Reggie”

About: Ive always looked after my brothers dogs, so I just thought I'd like to get paid to look after the animals I love the most. I do work full time Monday to Thursday so I'm home most weekends so thought I'd like to put my spare time to good use. I have a fenced in back garden. I also have a 1yr cockerpoo who is very friendly and likes to play so I'm sure she would like to have some play mates.

“Andrew and his family were so helpful when my booked sitter let me down very last minute. He fitted me in with barely any notice and a late drop off. We had previously met to introduce our dogs and Lola is very calm and friendly. I received lots of nice photos and videos as updates each evening and Eira seemed really happy, going for lots of lovely walks and having a great time. Andrew and his family were also happy to administer topical and oral medication which was great. I’d never left Eira with non-family members before and Andrew, Tina and Lily definitely gave me peace of mind. She’s still tired out! Thank you ☺️”

About: I love dogs and spending time with them, giving them love and going on adventures if they’re up for it. I have always had dogs, and have experience with puppies, senior dogs and disabled dogs. I’m aware of different signs dogs can give off when they want a bit of space or need a bit of reassurance and love. I’ve always had an interest in dog behaviour and have done a lot of at home research on this, to ensure I can give my dogs and other dogs the best experience. I’m also fully aware of what can be dangerous for dogs to ingest and have a “set them up to succeed” approach, and not leaving things around that they might eat etc, that obviously wouldn’t be their fault because they just don’t know 🙂 I’m aware of lots of different walks nearby, short and long. I’m happy to drive and do collections and drop offs. I do have my own dog that will likely be around, he is called Red, a 5 year old lab, and is happy playing if someone else instigates it, otherwise he’s just happy doing his own thing and chilling. I work from home and it’s super flexible, so I’m able to pop out for walks and give the dogs anything they need during my day. I work Monday - Thursday. I usually house sit when looking after dogs so far, and I make a big deal about leaving everything exactly the way it was, and do a clean before I leave. I love exploring new walking areas with the dogs and seeing them relax in their own familiar space afterwards. I can also board dogs at my own home, which is a fully secure property with tall walls around the patio garden. It’s a house with lots of doors and space for separation if a dog friend might want a bit of space for a little while. We live on a quiet road near the river and fields of uffculme.

About: Always had dogs in our family, moved out 10 years ago and had my own dog, but after relationship breakdown I no longer have the dog and miss the companionship and caring for a dog, but can’t have my own again at the moment. I only work 3 days a week in the weekend, so have plenty of time for cuddles, walks and play time. Have plenty of green space and fields within a 5 minute walk too I have a metal fenced garden, plenty of indoor space too and dog friendly fields within a 5 minute walk. Secure building away from the main road

“Molly is an extremely responsible and caring dog owner. We walk our neighbour’s working cocker spaniel every week and enjoy taking him on a variety of walks including the park and the beach.”

About: -I grew up surrounded by animals -I am already trusted by many other people to look after their beloved pets -I am reliable and never let people down I have time to walk dogs every evening of the week, rain or shine. Weekends I am also free for sitting if necessary. Pet care is not just a task for me; it's a heartfelt commitment woven into the fabric of my daily life. As a dedicated pet sitter, my approach is tailored to the specific needs of each furry friend and their loving owners. Whether caring for pets in my own home or providing in-home visits, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. From regular feeding and exercise to cuddles and playtime, I ensure a nurturing environment that mirrors the love and care they receive from their owners.

“Sarah took very good care of Cola and happy, sending lots of their photos and texts to tell me how they are doing. Cola, my 11-year old doggie which has anxiety, enjoys her stay at Sarah’s place a lot as Cola has made a new friend called Mabel, which is a 8-year old doggie. Sarah is very thoughtful about each doggie’s needs to provide the best and suitable care for Cola and Happy. We will surely book Sarah again and thank you Sarah for talking care of Cola and Happy.”

“Our little Gizmo seemed really happy to spend three days with Julie. He suffers with severe separation anxiety but Julie was with him 24/7 and catered to his needs. She kept us updated with lots of photos and when we picked him up he seemed nice and tired from their walks. We would definitely recommend Julie!”

“Poppy had a great time - we were sent photos of her being walked and snuggled in her bed. Maggie and her family really looked after her and saves us the worry - would definitely stay there again - thank you ?”

“This was the first time we had Coco going away for dog sitting. Yenme took such good care of Coco. She is very kind and absolutely loves dogs. We couldn’t have got someone better than her. We got constant updates on his settling in and she has a lovely place with a backyard which is the best for our nine month old boy”

About: Growing up with summer holidays on my aunt and uncles farm in Scotland taught me how to care for animals My first job as a toddler was to feed the chickens and collect the eggs I used to go up on trailer to feed sheep and cattle, and play with the farm dogs Growing up I always had dogs and wanted that for my children as well But at our busiest we had 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 budgies and 2 gerbils. Living in Switzerland at the time we had many international friends who used to travel and we would regularly take it in turns to house sit for each other I am calm and caring with nervous pets and not phased by walking having completed many long distance paths like Hadrian's walk and Offas dyke - so pets that need a good exercise is a joy Over a period of a year I have been able to do 16 house sits - see photos and 5 star feedback On other well known house and pet sitting site I am retired and continue to do house and pet sitting in other peoples homes. I am looking to extend this care in between these sits to build a local selection of families that I can support with their pet care needs from the comfort of my own home as well I have a fully fenced in rear garden with plenty of space to play. Also I am surrounded by parkland walkable from my front door. If you wish transport or further afield walks, I have a Skoda Yeti - which has good access / space for pets to be transported to and from sits/ walks

“We have 2 quite large and strong dogs so were a little wary of leaving them with Sarah. However, we needn't have worried. She was brilliant at looking after them and took them on long walks, managing to control them even whenever a dreaded cat appeared. So, to sum up, we were very happy with her and would have no hesitation in recommending her to other clients looking for a competent dog sitter. We have already booker her in for our summer holiday.”

“Laam is a very professional and responsible pet sitter who loves animals, my puppy had a great time in her care and I highly recommend this pet sitter!”

“Esmé and Will were outstanding in their care for our golden retriever Digby. Esmé is really responsive, friendly, and professional, and this made me feel very comfortable, knowing that he was in very good hands. Digby seemed to be extremely happy in their safe home environment, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
