About: As a professional and caring animal lover, looking after pets of all kinds is top of my list of favourite things to do, so to turn my passion into a business made perfect sense. All pets in my care receive plenty of one-to-one attention, play and walkies to stimulate and keep them happy. I've always had dogs so caring for all age groups comes as second nature to me. There is a large park right across from my house and your pet will get 2 to 3 walks a day, depending on their needs, together with access to my fully enclosed rear garden. Trips to the beach or woods are with owners consent, of course. I am Enhanced DBS checked and Fully Insured for your peace of mind. I almost always like to have a meet and greet (free of charge) in the first instance as it gives both the dog, the owner and me a chance to get to know each other a little to begin with. If it's a last minute booking it's fine as people get let down all the time, so I totally understand situations like that. If you can't make a meet and greet (usually takes around 20mins) I'm happy to do a video or phone call. I'm always around to offer playtime and cuddles for your pets. I believe pets are part of the family, they love our company so being there for them is very important to me. My back garden is fully dog-proof. I have a dog flap plus the back door is open all day on nice days so they may come and go at leisure. I have a pet ramp on my steps to ensure older/injured/disabled dogs can access the rear garden too. Your pet can roam around in complete safety. I have a very chilled and friendly little Cavapoo who loves making new friends. You'll receive photos of your pet so that you can relax in the knowledge they're having lots of fun whilst they're with me.

About: I grew up with two collie-cross spaniels who I had since they were puppies and absolutely adored them! Unfortunately they’re no longer with us and I’m really missing spending time with dogs. I also have experience looking after friends and family’s pets! I have also got pet care experience working on a horse yard caring for rescue horses and rehabilitating them until they could go to the RSPCA for rehoming. Last year I actually volunteered in Norway where I had to observe the behaviour and health of a wild beluga whale which was very different and an amazing experience! I love animals so much and would love to look after your doggo(s)! I currently work part time as a ranger (3-4 days a week) and these days vary each week. When I’m not working I can spend as much time with your dog as needed and when I am working I’m available before 8am and after 4:30pm. Wherever I’m looking after pets (at your home or out and about on walks etc), I try to match your routines as much as possible and stick to your instructions. If looking after your pet at your own home, I will keep it safe and secure and treat it with respect and tidiness. Your pet will be very much loved and cared for and I’m more than happy to share photos and updates!

About: I have always had a dog in my life, taking on more responsibility as I’ve gotten older. Spaniels have been a family favourite for many years - learning how to occupy their busy brains. More recently I completed an introductory level of sniffer training with our youngest dog. My capabilities don’t stop at caring for dogs, I have also owned and cared for horses for the past 9 years. Working as a freelance groom I have taken on multiple responsibilities, including dog walking and sitting. I’m currently a second year university student who has finished for the year with a long summer ahead of me, ready to be filled with fun days and loving animals within the beautiful Devon countryside. Whilst I don’t host pets in my own home, I believe it is crucial for dogs to be comfortable with a new person in their environment. I’d offer a ‘meet & greet’ service whereby I would more than happy to come and meet you and your pooch prior to the actual booking, allowing everyone to meet each other in a stress-free setting.

“Nicky was absolutely fantastic. We came down for a wedding so she had both the bride and grooms dog Roo and Pip. They had sn amazing time together. Nicky took them for amazing walks in both countryside and on the beach. Nicky was so flexible and her love of all animals was obvious. We were very lucky and privileged to find Nicky and Pip will have lots of happy memories of his mini break”

“Our dogs loved Meg and didn't want her to leave after being dropped off. They both fell asleep quickly and are happy snoozing so I think they had a great walk!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life & dogs since I was 8 years old. I frequently look after big & small dogs - GSP’s, pomeranians, sausage dogs, labradors. I also frequently cat sit after sadly losing my 2 cats a couple years ago. I work from home, I have lots of flexibility & access to a car so getting around and suiting your needs is no problem to me. I have cared for pets such as cats, dogs, reptiles, hamsters and rabbits in other peoples homes. I will give regular updates and am a genuine, honest & caring person who will always put your pets needs first.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been around dogs regularly for the last two years. Now that I have had a dog of my own for the last year, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust — I’d be happy to help! I have experience with puppies and seniors too! I work part-time so I can do some drop ins and walks during the week. I do have some availability on weekends too, so feel free to reach out! I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for by sticking to their normal routine, giving them lots of attention, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also send regular updates so owners know their pets are doing great!

About: Experienced kennel worker looking to set up my own business. I have looked after many dogs of different breeds. Each with their own characteristics making their stay feel like home from home. I am now semi retired and free most days to provide caring and compassionate services to you dog. Please get in touch and we can arrange a taster session I’m happy to look after your dog at my home or come and stay or visit yours to feed, walk or just keep you’re company.

About: Having grown up with cats myself and having two of my own pets, I have had a great deal of experience in looking after animals. For many years I have also looked after pets for friends and family which has included administering medication and dental paste, as well as the usual feeding and cleaning rituals. I have also walked dogs for other pet owners in the past and have loved engaging with the animals and the interaction that this brings. I am also happy to brush and groom your pet/s if this is preferred and will also maintain an impeccable level of cleanliness and hygiene when visiting your home to take care of your pet. As well as the practical level of care that I provide for animals, I am a firm believer in providing affection and close contact with pets, especially as they will miss their owners whilst being away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how one can miss their pet whilst away and I’d be more than happy to provide daily regular updates and photos and/or videos of your pet whilst you are away. I will always maintain your pet is in excellent hands and you will return to a happy and a calm pet upon the return of your trip. My hours on a weekly basis are flexible and I will be able to carry out morning and evening visits including weekends as well as during the week. As I have two of my own pets I will only be able to take care of your pet/s within your own home. I will ensure that I follow all security procedures. For example, I will always keep windows closed and will keep doors locked/ closed when visiting and leaving your property. Please let me know if there are any alarms that need to be set or turned on/off during the visits. If you have a house cat which does not roam outdoors, then I will strictly adhere to keeping your cat securely indoors. If I am walking your dog, then I will always keep the dog on a leash. If there are any medical concerns, then I will contact both yourself and the registered vet, and so I would need the details of the veterinary surgery.

About: Hi we are Leah & Tim, we have big hearts for animals. Here is some information about us below. Leah - Hi, I'm Leah! I've always grown up with dogs and animal's since I was little and at 13 was a key help in training and caring for my collie. Since then I have grown up with him and realised just how incredible dogs are, and how lucky we are to have them. My collie Rusty passed away in 2020, since then a big part of me was taken too. I miss him dearly and miss in general a dogs presence you can be assured your dog would be so loved and cared for by me, and have lots of fun! I know how special they are, and that they are a part of the family. Tim - Hi, I'm Tim! I have been with Leah for 5 years now, during this time I had bonded heavily with her dog Rusty, realising how much a part of the family they are. I have always been a heavy animal lover. I have many pets myself ranging from fish to python to rabbits. Throughout my life I have grown up caring and looking after animals, anything from hurt hedgehogs to bats. This is something instilled in me by my family. I would love to look after and care for your dog. As with my life situation at this time I am unable to have one of my own. Look forward to hearing from you! I am currently busy monday-friday but can be available at weekends Saturday or Sunday. On these days I could be available earliest 10am and onwards throughout the day. This does not apply to myself, as I am not able to have pets stay with me at my home unfortunately. Sorry for any inconvenience.

About: I've been caring for dogs and other animals pretty much all of my life. My grandma used to breed Newfoundlands so I was always helping with her gentle giants! From walking and grooming to playing and meal times. I've never not had a dog in my life and they truly do make your life a million times better. When I was 10 we got my best friend, a little whippet puppy who was just the best! We sadly lost him at the ripe age of 12 at the end of last year. It's so important to take extra care of them when they become old and fragile and having to change certain aspects of their life so they don't get down about the things they can't do anymore. I've had the pleasure of getting to know all different breeds and their personalities from Huskies to Dachshunds and Spaniels, Whippets, Staffies, Pocket bullies, xl bullies, Retrievers and Newfoundlands. We have a 7 month old pocket bully and she has to be one of the funniest and loving dogs we've ever had. Before we got her of course we did alot of research and she is such a well behaved girl. It's important that the training starts from the day you get them and I feel that if someone's dog isn't properly trained then they aren't going to know how to deal with someone elses. I adore all dogs and always treat them like they're a part of the family! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to do what I love most which is being with animals. I also travel to Cornwall atleast once a week so I am very flexible on where I can go too! I plan on mostly doing home visits and or walks. I will ask lots of questions for example using treats etc and asking about allergies. Everyone and every dog is different so it's tailoring every experience to suit the dog and owner so everyone is happy. I know it takes a lot of trust to allow someone into your home and or to take your dog for a walk so I will be making sure I know as much as possible and listening to every word the owner says!

About: From a bustling household with five cats, a loyal dog, and majestic horses to rescuing two dogs from dire circumstances, my life has always been intertwined with animals. As a lifelong animal lover, I've become the go-to person for pet care among friends and family, nurturing every creature with the love and attention they deserve. Passionate about the great outdoors, I find joy in embarking on long walks with dogs, exploring nature's beauty and ensuring our furry friends get the exercise and excitement they crave. My professional background as a freelance chef enriches my ability to cater not just to human tastes but to canine palates as well. Yes, I whip up dog-friendly meals that are both nutritious and delicious, tailored to make mealtime a joy for your pet. Travel is a passion of mine, but when I'm home, I offer a safe and welcoming environment for your dog. My garden is fully dog-proof, ensuring a secure space for play and relaxation. Located walking distance from some of the best dune walks, your dog will enjoy endless adventures, just a paw's step away from home. In trusting your beloved dog with me, you're not just ensuring they have a sitter — you're giving them a friend who understands and shares an innate love for all creatures, great and small. Together, we'll make sure your dog's stay is as joyful and enriching as possible. I am a freelance chef. I have an events catering company, which means I have a lot of free time in-between big events. I especially have time over the winter months and the majority of my work is during the summer (weddings). I have a dog safe garden, which is big enough for a good run around. I have a work from home lifestyle, which means I have loads of time to walk, play and cuddle with your dog. I am passionate about walking and have access to incredible walks right from my house.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life having owned cats and dogs, (cocker spaniels and a German short haired pointer), and helping on local friends small holdings. I have also been a volunteer dog walker for 10 years with the cinnamon trust (an amazing charity for the elderly). Currently I don't own any pets, so am in a position to be able to give your pet the attention and care it needs. I completely understand also how nerve-racking it can be entrusting your family member to a new person but with meeting and talking before, I hope I can put you and your pet/s at ease. I currently work from home but am flexible in my hours so i am able to give your pet the care, attention and exercise they need, based on their routines and your wishes. I live in a detached house with a fenced garden enabling them to access this whenever required. I also live close to various walks including the beach, fields and parks so can give them the exercise they require based on their need. Within my home there are no other pets so they would get full attention. They would also be allowed on the furniture (if you say this is alright....).

About: I am passionate about working with dogs, and I’m an experienced dog walker / sitter. I have volunteered in Dog sanctuaries across Europe and Africa, dealing with dogs of all different breeds, ages and health conditions. I have a full, clean drivers license and own my own car! I work as a freelance Animator out of my studio in Penryn. As I work for myself I am able to structure my days around my animal care commitments, which take priority when scheduling my calendar. I believe it is a big responsibility taking care of someones beloved pet, and I treat animals and other peoples homes with the utmost respect. I am very adaptable and understand that all animals are different and need different sorts of care. I am an excellent communicator, and will work with the owner to provide the best care possible for each pet.
