Dog Walking in North Devon

“Courtney asked to meet us and our dog prior to booking. This made a big difference to us as we knew exactly who we were trusting to take care of Poppy. She communicated with us after each walk with details about how Poppy was and any issues of concerns. Highly recommend”

“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”

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: 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....).

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.

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: I'm a qualified dog walker and pet sitter. I have qualified in level 2 animal care, level 2 vet nursing and level 3 pet first aid. I have grown up with a variety of different types of pets. I have been working with dogs for the last 8 years. I work with your pets during the day and then I have an evening job that is 3 hours and not related to animals. The evening job is near my home, so I will only do it if I'm on local sits. I will put your dogs in a crate or a safe room in the house, if I'm going out to the shops. I make sure outside space is safe for your pet.

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: 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.

About: Nice to meet you, I'm Diana. I've been surrounded by animals all my life. Chickens, parakeets, parrots, fish, rabbits, pigeons, dogs and cats have been my companions along this path. During the last few years in Colombia I've worked on my pet care project at home, dog walking and photography for furry friends and I would love to be able to continue doing what I'm passionate about wherever life takes me. I'm a very dedicated person to animals, attentive to their needs and committed to fulfilling my work with the smallest detail that they tell me. I know that each furry friend has its magic touch, that's why I strive to create and take care of the bond with it. I'll be delighted to meet you and your faithful friend(s) and help you with whatever you need :) I am currently looking to continue doing what I am passionate about, getting to know and caring for animals and creating a bond with them. At the moment I have a lot of free time since I recently arrived in England and I am looking to do this work full-time. I always follow the care instructions for each of the furry ones, and I never miss out on cuddles and photos. If your furry one is nervous, I always try to gain their trust by giving them space, giving them time and being very patient. I make sure they have the required time for recreation and fun and that they never miss their food. I love them all, but the old ones always make me fall in love at first sight because they remind me of my beautiful little dogs who are already little angels.
