“Zoe answered our request immediately even though it was at relatively short notice. We met up the next day where Freya’s immediate response was very positive. Zoe asked all the right questions to understand and get to know Freya and her idiosyncrasies. Zoe contacted us a couple of times during the three day sit on minor issues which were quickly resolved. The only problem was that when it was time for her to leave Freya insisted on following her out of the door! Zoe clearly has an infinity with dogs and a caring attitude. We felt complete confidence in her and will have no hesitation in using her again and recommending her to others. Thanks Zoe.”

“Becky is absolutely wonderful! She just looked after our two dogs for two nights. She left us updates, photos and cared for our dogs amazingly whilst we were away, totally putting us at ease. One of our dogs can be nervous, but he Loved Becky from the start! We've already booked Becky in for a week in August whilst we're in Portugal 😁 thanks Becky for all of your help. X”

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.

“Jo is brillant. Milly really enjoyed her company and she had plenty of cuddles. She sent daily photo updates and she even put my plates away. I would definitely recommend. Thank you.”

“It was great to be able to leave our rather difficult terrier in the capable hands of Patrick. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Reggie was happy and well cared for.”

“I am very pleased as to how Chloe looked after the cat and the home while I was away in a different country. She sent several pictures per day, and I will be booking her again in the future!”

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.

“Very pleased with Georgina’s help looking after the dogs over a weekend. Definitely would recommend.”

About: Hi! We're Angie & Alex, full-time professional house and pet sitters. We have both always loved animals and grown up looking after dogs and cats. I (Angie) grew up with dogs (a spaniel, a lab and a German Shepherd), whilst Alex grew up with cats. We now move around looking after different, wonderful dogs and cats, and their owners' homes while they're on extended trips (usually 2+ weeks). We give all animals the individual care and attention they need. So far this year we have looked after two elderly dogs in Devon (including giving them medication), a couple of energetic, young golden retrievers in Guildford, and a wisler and dachshund in Cornwall before that. We especially love getting outside with dogs, enjoying lots of walks in nature! We both work remotely, so we are at home all during the work week. Angie works part-time and flexi hours, so she is available to meet longer walking needs, if required. When we're not working, we're dedicated to the pets, and make any social plans fit around the animals' needs. We only do house-sitting, staying at the owner's house, and usually for 2+ weeks at a time. We take great care to learn from you what your animal needs and work with those needs. It's important to us that dogs and cats feel safe and comfortable with us, and that they thrive in our care. We ensure their routines are not disrupted; such as taking them on as long or short walks as they need and at the times they're used to. We can also administer medication, and give them playtime and attention.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and today my constant companion is Harper, my wonderful three-year-old cocker spaniel. We spend most days exploring the countryside around Dartmoor, where we live in a large converted chapel in a peaceful Devon village. Life here is a dog’s dream. We’re surrounded by woodland trails, open moorland, reservoirs and beaches, which means plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment and adventure. Whether your dog loves long walks, paddling in the water, playing fetch or simply relaxing in the garden, I’ll tailor their day to suit their personality and energy levels. I work from home, so your dog will have company, attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a secure, enclosed and shaded garden that’s perfect for playtime and keeping cool during warmer weather. Most importantly, I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a matter of trust. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, well exercised and showered with affection while you’re away. I work full time from home but most of my team is in the U.S, so half my day is my own time to work flexibly which works well during the warmer weather for cool morning walks. I’m available for boarding and house sitting during the week and weekends and I can be flexible for fairly last minute requests. I have a completely enclosed garden that is beautiful and safe. My dog, Harper, is the absolute friendliest cocker spaniel - she’s neutered, very friendly with other dogs and typically follows me around everywhere. I’m happy to take the lead from you on any routines or care your pet requires.

“Looked after fifi very well, sent me some pics and messages to let me know all was fine. Had a meet and greet before she came to stay which was lovely. Left our house spotless! Would definitely recommend and we would use Rachael again 😁”

“I can’t recommend Tim enough. Tim stayed in our time with our dog Akela for 2 weeks while we were away. He was absolutely great with Akela, gave him plenty of walks, attention and love. Tim also treated our home with respect and it was nice and clean when we arrived home. Tim provided regular updates and photos of walks and Akela which we were absolutely delighted to see coming. Tim really went above and beyond when minding Akela and I would have him mind Akela again in a heart beat and we will very soon.”

About: I love animals and have covered short and longterm sits both in UK Devon and Australia for a long time. Mostly I care for cats and dogs though I have had chickens, horses (feeding) and domestic fish and birds. I hare cared for senior pets including their medication. I am semi retired and I do part time work from time to time. In my career was a nurse. I have a deep interest in naturopathy and health. I have a low meat diet. At times the owners dog crate is put in my car though many digs yravel in the front well area. I enjoy taking dogs out on trips eg National trust grounds or the beaches.

“Danu was the perfect cat sitter for our two boys! She was friendly, reliable and went above and beyond to make them comfortable. She even sent loads of pictures and updates, we’re extremely grateful! Thank you Danu, Arlo and Benji miss you already x”

“Rowena was excellent. We had no worries leaving the house & dogs cat & chickens in her capable hands. She coped well with our 4month old black Labrador puppy & everything was clean tidy on our return & happy animals too!”

About: Hi! My name is Abbie. I have worked in the emergency services for over 7 years. However my passion has always been animals. I have had dogs for over ten years and currently have two dogs (Bear and Leo) who are both rescues and at times both come with their challenges 😂 I am a very outdoorsy person, I am forever trying to find new places to walk my pooches and explore. I am available to house sit, take your dogs out on big days out (with or without my pooches) or just popping in and spending some time with them. I’m looking forward to hearing from you 😊🐾 I work shift work but part of that is working from home so means I am available to pet sit. I have variable shifts but happy to chat and see what works best for everyone 😊 Me and my partner have a two bedroom house that I am currently renovating which is taking a lot longer than I thought it would 😂 I have a fenced small garden. I am able to care for animals in their own home or at mine if they get along with my two pooches.

About: Hi there! My name is Rachel, I’m a 29 year old working professional based in Taunton and I live with my partner in a fully detached house with a large secure enclosed garden, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs all my life, and featured in my photo is our family dog Coco, a mini Pomeranian who I absolutely adore. I regularly dog sit for friends over weekends and love taking their dogs out for walks and adventures in the countryside. I enjoy being outdoors and discovering new walking spots, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention and companionship. I work from home on Mondays, meaning I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, feeding and company. Although we don’t currently have pets living with us, our home is very pet friendly and calm, making it a great environment for dogs to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m available on weekends and love spending time outdoors on long walks and adventures with dogs. Most of my friends have dogs and I love going for Saturday morning coffee and dog walks with them. I also work from home on Mondays, so I’m around all day for walks, feeding, toilet breaks and plenty of company. Your dog will get lots of attention, playtime and care throughout their stay! Your dog will be cared for in a calm, loving home with a large secure enclosed garden where they can safely play and explore. I currently don’t have pets, so your dog will have plenty of space and attention. I always make sure dogs are well looked after, exercised, comfortable and treated like part of the family!

“I could not have wished for a more caring, thoughtful and understanding person to look after my furbabies. I had daily pupdates with photos and my hormonal Shih Tzu was seduced by Giles and Holly turning into a big marshmallow. Monty fell in love the moment they walked through the door and Boris wants to be adopted by them. They get the highest praise possible, what a lovely couple.”
