Micheal loves animals and it really show, Rosie loved him. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Micheal for everything, we could be away knowing Rosie was in the best hands”

“This was Winter's first overnight stay with Nicky, I was quite emotional not because of Nicky but typical dog mum guilt lol Nicky was great, followed the routine and even brushed Winter's teeth! I left a note to say he sometimes doesn't like it, so no problem if she didn't. I got messages throughout the night and first thing in the morning. I always feel so reassured that Winter is in best hands. Thanks Nicky for continuing to make balancing work with Winter so easy xx”

About: Cared for dogs all my life, currently have a cocker named Prince who is super friendly. I'm a Royal Marine who is leaving the service this year. I am wanting to set up a dog boarding business on a larger scale when I retire. So I want to expose myself to all breeds and educate myself now to give me a good base knowledge. I love exercising dogs and don't see it as a chore as I like to grab lots of exercise too. Rest assured I would treat your loved one as one of my own pets and would cherish the time spent with them!! I have also just gained a level 3 diploma in Canine Welfare and behaviour. I make looking after my dog part of my day to day lifestyle, enjoying trips to the beach, park, swimming, runs etc. We are lucky to be in a great location to go different fun places with the dogs. I live in military quarters that has a fenced garden. Local dog walks are in abundance. I have a van I don't mind getting messy if it means getting the hounds down to the beach or dunes for a swim. Your pet would have freedom to move around the house as they wish.

“Catherine was VERY accommodating , and agreed to keep Primmy for an extra night at last minute ! Primmy was taken out daily and had a great time ! i will deffo be using Catherine again ! thank you !”

“We loved receiving the photos during their stay with you. Pippa & Rocky looked like they had such a great time in the fields, on the beach and the sea too! They came back tired and happy. Thank you so much for looking after them both.”

“Boo is the most kindest and thoughtful person. I received photos and updates throughout my puppy's stay, which was reassuring as it was his first time away from home. Boo ensured my puppy had all the love and attention he needed, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you Boo, I know Larry can't wait to come back 🥰”

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m passionate about walking dogs, giving them exercise, attention and companionship, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take pride in providing reliable, loving care whilst you are away. Im currently working full time as a teaching assistant, I am available from after 4pm on weekdays and any time during the day on the weekends. If needed to on weekdays I am more than happy to walk before my shift starts this would be from 7am-8am. My home is a very dog friendly area, no low counters, doors in every room and a small but safe back garden and a box full of healthy and tasty treats.

“Elizabeth was incredible! She looked after our dog fern whilst we were getting married! She collected her from the ceremony and took her off over night. She had the best time running on the beach and was so well looked after. Thank you so much Elizabeth!”

“Tilly has had a wonderful time staying with Jenny for our 2 week holiday. Jenny sent us a photo every morning to let us know what fun they were having :) We wouldn't hesitate to book Jenny for any future holidays. Tilly has come home very happy and content as if we were never away.”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.

“Kaya look very happy see us when we comeback but she look at behind like she really like this place.Izzy is very good friendly animals lover ❤️ like all her family. I have video and pictures every day so I saw my dog have good walk every day..She look happy. If we need again some help I will be coming back here.Thank you”

About: I’ve looked after neighbours family and friends dogs for years and have always had dogs growing up and as an adult . I’ve had my current dog for nearly 3.5 years and trained him as a puppy Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Having a dog myself ,I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s normal routine and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully and always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe space to rest. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. My garden is safe and fenced to ensure your dog will be safe and will keep an eye on them the whole time they are with me

“My labradoodle Davey had the most amazing time with Isabelle. She is a super-nanny for dogs with lots of walks, play dates, puppiccinos and doggie muffins and even a coconut scented bubble bath just before being collected. Davey was happy and relaxed when I arrived. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle x”

“Holly is a fabulous sitter and I would have no hesitation recommending her for anyone looking for a 5-star experience for their dog. Holly gave our energetic spaniel loads of exercise and attention, and has a lovely quiet home and garden, perfect for more nervous dogs. We will be back!”

“I can’t quite express how thrilled and thankful we are to have found Julia! She’s everything we could ask for in a sitter and our little dog, Heidi had the best time! She was warm and friendly, and loved and cared for Heidi as if she was her own. Communication was excellent - she sent lots of pictures and updates, and responded quickly to messages. When we first met Julia at our meet and greet, she asked lots of questions and took the time to really get to know Heidi and us. Nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond to make Heidi comfortable in her home. She even gave us a tour of her property so that we’d have an idea of where Heidi would be hanging out. Knowing that our girl was in such good hands made it easy for us to relax on our trip, and we didn’t worry about her once. When we arrived to collect Heidi, it was clear that she had really bonded with Julia and they’d become the best of friends - Heidi didn’t want to leave at first and kept running back for more cuddles! Honestly, I can’t praise Julia enough. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful friend to care for Heidi when we go away. Thanks a million, Julia! Xx”

About: I’m a friendly, reliable dog sitter and the proud owner of Timmy, my gentle and sociable Cavapoo, who enjoys making new friends. Living in an area surrounded by some of North Devon’s most beautiful countryside gives me the perfect setting to provide dogs with a happy, active, and enriching stay. I’m ideally located close to the Tarka Trail, the beach, Exmoor, and Dartmoor, which means your dog can enjoy a wonderful variety of walks - from peaceful woodland paths and scenic riverside strolls, to fresh sea air and open moorland adventures. I’ve looked after many dogs over the years, each with their own personality, needs, and routines, and I always make sure every dog is treated as part of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playful company, or simply a calm and caring home environment, I provide a safe space where they can feel relaxed and well cared for while you’re away. I work part‑time from home, which means I’m around for plenty of company, supervision, and cuddles throughout the day. I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that’s exploring local walks, heading out for adventures, or a trip to the beach. At the same time, I know that dogs also enjoy their downtime. On colder or wetter days, I'm just as happy staying in - settling down with a good movie, some sofa snuggles, and a relaxed, calm atmosphere. I aim to strike the perfect balance between fun, exercise, and comfort, adapting each day to suit your dog’s energy levels and personality. My home is warm and welcoming. I have a secure garden where your dog can safely explore, play, and enjoy some fresh air, as well as a spacious open‑plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This allows dogs to move around comfortably and truly feel part of everyday family life, rather than being confined.

“Good communication and Katherine was a caring sitter”
