About: My two passions are art and dogs. I have 18+ years of experience looking after animals, having grown up with 2 westies ❤️ I am a dog walker and carer by day, with plenty of experience with dogs of different breeds and ages. I have my own rescue Lab cross and adore working with rescues I run my own dog walking & care business full time with my husband who is a dog groomer. I usually offer half days or full days, but can be flexible. I have a van with secure crates for 4 dogs. I can provide safe pickup and drop off to and from your home. I have all of my own equipment. I can stay with the dog at their home or if they get along with my dog then they can board at my home. We have a secure garden and no children in the home.

About: I had my first family dog, a little Jack Russell x Labrador named Sandy at the age of 11 and realised that dogs really are more than pets, they're a part of the family. I loved every moment with her from going on our daily walks to snuggling up on the sofa. She was so special to me as im sure yours are to you! My goal is to work 0800-1500 Monday- Friday around the Tiverton area. That includes walks, sit ins, feeds ect. Boarding will be difficult at my home as we have a cat also. I'll happily travel to a clients home and sit in with their pet. I have passed a CPD certified course to ensure the level of care i offer is beyond sufficient.

About: As well as being very actively involved in the care of my families dogs ever since I was very young, I have looked after plenty of friends dogs too. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments in both cities and the countryside. I prioritise being extra safe and present when I'm caring for an animal which ensures any dog in my care is relaxed and happy. Ultimately I'm completely dog obsessed and take the responsibility of looking after any dog, be it my own or someone else's, very seriously (but not seriously enough that we don't also have loads of fun!!) I am currently a freelance graphic designer working from home meaning I have a VERY flexible schedule and really the perfect set up for taking care of dogs. As of right now I am available all week with no real time constraints. Note- from 29/04 - 20/05 and 03/06-24/06 I will be unavailable on Wednesday until 2pm. I have a lovely fenced medium-large garden with lots of plants, trees and interesting bits for dogs to explore (aka not a rectangle of flat grass!). My dogs spend lots of time outside sunbathing and playing. I have two beddlington-whippet girls at home, one is 5 the other is 10. The older isn't particularly interested in other dogs at all, happy to keep to herself. The other LOVES other dogs, she's a fantastic play mate.

About: I have not known life without either a cat or dog, and when I became a dog mum nine years ago, I formed a bond I never knew was possible. It gave me a deep understanding of just how much our pets mean to us — they are family. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have looked after dogs for family and neighbours, including in-home boarding and walks. I know how important it is to feel completely confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I offer a calm, safe and loving environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at home. I take time to understand each dog’s individual needs — whether that’s gentle walks, playtime, routine, or simply a quiet space to rest. I am reliable, attentive and genuinely love being around dogs. Your dog’s comfort, safety and happiness will always come first. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, as I work from home on a freelance basis and am around for most of the day. This means your dog will have consistent company, supervision, and a calm, reassuring environment rather than being left alone for long periods. I structure the day around each dog’s individual needs, with walks in the morning, at lunchtime, after work, and before bedtime. Whether your dog enjoys gentle strolls, playtime, or a slower pace, I adapt to what helps them feel most comfortable and settled. Evenings are relaxed and homely, and I am very happy for dogs to sleep in my bedroom if this is what they are used to, so they feel safe, secure, and not alone overnight. I care for every dog as if they were my own, creating a space where they feel safe, settled, and truly at home. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always aim to create a calm, secure and respectful environment for every dog in my care. At home, I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely spend time outdoors. Inside, my home is clean, tidy and relaxed, providing a comfortable space where dogs can settle and feel at ease. I keep a close eye on each dog at all times and follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and rest. When caring for dogs in an owner’s home, I am respectful, reliable and treat the space with care. I follow all instructions carefully to ensure your dog feels safe in their familiar environment, and I maintain the same level of cleanliness and attention as I would in my own home. I take time to understand each dog’s individual needs and always prioritise their safety, comfort and wellbeing.

About: Ive taken care of various different animals over the years beginning when I was 8 with my very first pet. Ive taken care of different breeds of dogs ranging from woldhounds all the way down to dachshunds. My garden is very large with a field just round the back of the house. Currently there are other caged pets in and outside my house such as birds, a rabbit & a Lizard. I work early mornings 4am - 8am and I also work a 0hr contract so your pets will be left alone for up to 4 hrs (unless booked far in advance where I am able to take time off). I also have pet sitting insurance outside of rover I’m double covered. Even though I work, I always make time for your pet and keep you updated with photos and videos. I tend to give a morning and an evening update just so I can keep you in the loop. My garden is fenced in and all pets that live in the house have a designated area either outdoors or in a room where your pet cannot get a hold of them. For car journeys I have designated safety features for every size dog. Bigger dogs will usually either go in the crates or be harnessed to the seats. The dogs will NEVER be allowed in my vehicle without some sort fo safety feature.

“Very polite and attentive. Took my Siberian husky for a two hour walk whilst I visited from Gloucester and went shopping. Quick to respond and bonded well with him”

About: ✨ Get £15 off your first booking with code KATIE87093 ✨ Hi, I’m Katie. I’m 38 and live in a small countryside hamlet near Tiverton. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that love has stayed with me my whole life. These days my partner and I share our home with four rescue dogs and three cats, so caring for animals is very much part of everyday life. I currently work as an Animal Care Assistant in rescue, supporting dogs with a wide range of needs, and I’m studying for a degree in dog training and behaviour. Before working in rescue, I was a registered nurse, so compassion, reliability, and attention to detail are at the heart of how I care for both people and animals. If you are looking for someone experienced, calm, and genuinely passionate about animals, I would love to help. Dog walking: I offer tailored dog walks around Tiverton and the surrounding countryside. Every dog is different, so walks are adapted to suit their personality, energy level, and health. Some dogs enjoy a relaxed sniffy stroll while others prefer a longer countryside adventure. My aim is always to give dogs safe exercise, enrichment, and a positive experience. I am comfortable working with puppies who are learning about the world, senior dogs who need gentler exercise, anxious or reactive dogs, and dogs with health conditions such as hip dysplasia. Safety, calm handling, and patience are always my priority. Drop in visits / home visits: If your pet is happiest staying in their own environment, I offer 30 minute or longer drop in visits. Visits can include letting dogs out for toilet breaks, feeding and fresh water, playtime and enrichment, litter tray cleaning, administering medication, and plenty of company and reassurance. I am also happy to help with small household tasks while you are away, such as watering plants, bringing in post, or turning lights on and off. You will always receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and cared for. Dog boarding: I also offer short periods of home boarding for well matched dogs. Dogs staying with us become part of our daily routine and enjoy walks, enrichment, and lots of company. Our own dogs have morning and evening walks, shorter lunchtime enrichment, including plenty of sniffing games and brain work or just playing in the garden! They aren’t a terribly high energy bunch, so they’re just as happy relaxing by the fire with us too. We have a secure fenced garden and visiting dogs are always supervised. Introductions are done gently, often starting with a short walk up the lane so everyone can settle naturally. We are used to supporting nervous or reactive dogs and understand the patience and calm approach they need. Quiet spaces and a separate room are available for dogs who prefer their own area. Other pets: Alongside dogs and cats I have experience caring for many other animals including rabbits, rodents, chickens, exotics, horses, and farm animals. If you have a small menagerie at home that is absolutely fine with me! Qualifications and experience: - Animal Care Assistant in rescue - Former Registered Nurse with a first class degree - BSc Psychology 2:1 including animal behaviour - Dog Training and Behaviour Degree Level 6 - in progress - Experience with international rescue organisations - Fostered dogs and cats with complex needs - Owner of Bark and Bramble natural dog treats - Run Waggy Trails Dog Park - DBS checked and public liability insured - Clean driving licence and vehicle fitted with dog seat belts and crate if needed I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to provide calm, attentive, personalised care. If you would like to chat or arrange a meet and greet, please feel free to send me a message. I would love to hear about your pets and how I can help. Katie x I work in rescue and am currently able to offer early morning or afternoon drop ins on working days, but I can be flexible on days off. I know all animals needs are different and have experience with anxiety and reactivity, so I will always adapt my interactions to suit them. I will care for them exactly as you wish in both my own home and yours - you know them and their needs better than anyone.

“Hannah was excellent. We booked her for the second time and everything was again perfect. She gave a walk to Frey (our Siberian Husky). Frey was very happy to see her. She arrived on time and managed to walk our little Husky puppy in some areas where he never went which is not an easy task. We recommend Hannah and we will definitely book her in the future.”

About: I've always grown up with dogs and am a dog mum of own, I am passionate about looking after and caring for dogs, horses! I love being outside and exploring places. I've been fortunate enough to support litters of puppies that have come into my family. From teaching them to sit and wait for food to throwing and catching a ball. I am a passionate when it comes to worming and always time for a cuddle at the end! I adore animals and would really love to opportunity to be your dog walker or pet sitter. Plus my dog adores company of other dogs! Pet care fits comfortably into my daily and weekly routine, as I am currently on maternity leave and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care, whether that involves regular walks, feeding, playtime, or general companionship. Although I have been out of this type of service for a while, I am eager to return to a structured routine and see this as a great opportunity to continue learning more about animals. I am passionate about rebuilding my experience and developing a career that aligns with my love for animal care. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are very important to me when caring for animals in my home. I live on a small farm surrounded by beautiful countryside, which provides a peaceful and enriching setting for pets. While I do not have a fully secure garden, I take dogs outside on a lead for toileting and always supervise them closely, as I do with my own dog on a daily basis. Our property is accessed via a locked gate at the bottom of the ford, adding an extra layer of security, and pets in my care are never left unattended outdoors. I always ensure animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. Plus my home is so homely and dogs are welcome where ever they wish, to make them feel at home, away from home.

“Sean is friendly and professional, and our labrador loved him right away. It's clear when meeting Sean that he cares about the animals he works with. We are thrilled to have found someone we feel we can trust with our dog.”

About: I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for a variety of dog breeds, from gentle Great Danes to playful little sausage dogs. I absolutely adore dogs—they bring me so much happiness, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, I treat every pup like part of the family. Giving them a home away from home isn’t just my job—it’s something I genuinely love doing. As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dog walks throughout the day. Since I work from home and spend most of my time there, I can easily fit in lunchtime walks, evening strolls, or whatever best suits your pup’s routine. Whether it’s a quick midday outing or a longer walk after work, I’m happy to provide regular exercise and company for your dog. It fits perfectly into my lifestyle—and I genuinely love every moment of it! As someone who truly cares about animals, safety and trust are always my top priorities. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and attentive to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, keeping a close eye during walks, or simply giving them comfort while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. With me, your furry friend will always be in safe and loving hands.

“Rhianon has been dog sitting at our house for nearly two years. She is amazing! Teddy adores her and I’m sure he is sad when we come home. He gets the best walks and exercise. She also looks after our indoor rabbit. We always get pics of Teddy while we are away and nothing is ever to much trouble if Rhianon has been there while we have had workmen in or parcels delivered. The house is always immaculate when we come home. HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets within my home my whole life, not just dogs but a litter of kittens, hamsters, rabbits and Guinea pigs. I’ve helped friends and neighbours in Devon since I was about 14 with pet care. After working as a nanny in Brighton for 6 years I’ve moved back home to Devon to be nearer family. I am currently doing free lance photography and ad hoc nannying I have a large flat, my garden isn’t the biggest it’s a medium sized one but I live near the quay so there’s lots of lovely surrounding walks.

About: I’ve been volunteering doing dog walking and dog sitting. I’ve owned multiple dogs in the past, both from a puppy and rescue dogs. Mainly springer spaniels so I’m definitely use to very energetic dogs! I’ve lived with cats, rabbits and other various animals. I am currently available all the time, however I am limited to walking to locations unless it is an acceptable bus journey alternatively when my partner is off work I can be more available. I can’t currently cater for animals in my home but that should hopefully change in the future. Care in a pet owners home depends on what care the owner asks for. I’m happy to walk, feed, bath and even clean up after your pets in your home.

“Reggie had another 2 amazing walks. He’s clearly very pleased & excited to see Debbie , Richard & daughter & so makes the task of handing him over so much easier. He has found a second home/family. Happy dog. 😀”

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

About: I’ve taken care of two crazy black Labradors since I was 13 years old. I had so much fun teaching them tricks and taking them for swims in the sea. Now I’m at university I miss being around and caring for pets so much and the thing I looked forwards to most about going home is seeing them. I’m currently at Exeter University studying Medicine. Whilst the course is intense I don’t have many in person contact sessions or lectures and so I am able to schedule my studies so that I’ll have lots of free time to dog sitting /walking . In a pet owners home I will make sure I listen and follow any instructions that are given to me by the owner to ensure the safety of the pet.
