House Sitting Mid Devon

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.

“Wow! We couldn’t have asked for anything more! Emily, knowing we were nervous leaving our puppy for the first time, kept us up to date with lots of videos and photos. She prioritised our pups needs for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and we are hoping she will become the extended family for our pup time & time again!”

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a bit apprehensive - but as soon as we met Jo, we were completely put at ease! She did a fantastic job looking after our dog and cat, and kindly kept us updated on how their time together was going. Highly recommend!”

About: I am new to this but after 14 years of care work I have decided that a change of career is what I'm looking for.

About: Hi, I’m Denise, a caring and reliable pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with dogs and cats, including rescue dogs, and have experience looking after dogs for friends and housemates, from walks and overnight stays to caring for them while their owners are away. I’m naturally very outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs on long walks where needed. I currently work part-time as a support worker with young adults with learning disabilities, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m happy to look after high-energy dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I also have experience with puppies, nervous dogs, and rescue dogs. I have public liability insurance too, so you can have that extra peace of mind. I’d love to look after your dog and make sure they have a happy, fun and comfortable time while you’re away 🐾 I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits! I currently work part-time as a support worker, so I have plenty of flexibility. My schedule changes weekly, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages if you ask for it so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t offer pet sitting in my own home at the moment, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within 30 miles

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

Neville C.

“Emily was brilliant with Flynn, she really understands dogs and tailored the experience to what Flynn needed. Emily was happy for Flynn to follow her around the house all day as he needed the reassurance of being with someone. Emily and her mum welcomed Flynn as part of the family and their dogs were happy to share their home. I would highly recommend Emily and will definitely be rebooking.”

Pam G.

“It’s always difficult to trust your beloved dogs, puppies and canine family to people who are new to your pack. But Patrick has been amazing. He made the trip to meet my two dogs who are very different in their needs and personalities. Every day we have been away I have had an update on what they have been upto, photos and amazing communication. As a pet owner it was great to receive the updates but also good to see how Patrick had settled into our home and community. I can’t recommend him enough, really pleased we chose each other and for the service I received. We will be using him again. Thank you Patrick”

“Ellie was brilliant with our anxious rescue dog and was very attentive to his needs. We enjoyed our time out knowing he would be well looked after. We had photo updates and could see how happy he was, due to her kindness. Thank you Ellie!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Rowena looking after our dogs. She was calm, friendly and clearly loves animals, and our dogs took to her straight away. She sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe and caring hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Rowena again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
