House Sitting in North Devon

“Thandi stayed at our house and looked after our lurcher (teenage w slight separation anxiety) for 3 Days. Thandi is relatively new to this business and I was impressed by the questions she asked; she was keen to get to know our dog and work with to us on the less easy aspects. Thandi communicated well via Rover. She and our dog became the best of friends (the dog sulked when she left) and I got lots of pictures of fun walks and games. Thandi left the house very tidy. Definitely recommend her.”

“We booked Courtney for a day of house sitting for our 15 week old puppy, Mae. When we returned home at 8pm Mae was happy and relaxed, obviously she'd had a good day. Will definitely book again in the future. Thanks to Courtney, with updates during the day we didn't have to worry about our fur baby.”

“Amy was kind enough to come and meet our pets (2x dogs and 2x cats) prior to her stay to ensure they were familiar with her and both ourselves and Amy were happy before sitting. We had her sit for us for one night, we have never had a dog sitter before but felt at ease from the get go, we would definitely recommend and use her again, she was respectful of our home and good at communicating prior and during her stay. Thanks again Amy :) x”

“We can’t thank Kim enough for her help on our son’s wedding day. We needed someone to stay at the holiday rental property with our dog Finn as we were not allowed to leave him unattended in the property. We only arrived the night before so Finn had very little time to settle in. Kim instilled great confidence right from the outset. All communication with her was great. Her friendly and confidant manner put us at ease immediately and she instantly had a great rapport with Finn. She looked after him brilliantly and we came home to a very chilled out a relaxed Finn. I just wish Kim lived near me as I would definitely use her again. Can thoroughly recommend.”

“Really good experience. Dog loved her, very reliable, and was very patient with our slightly nervy at first dog. Gave lots of updates and took the dog for a nice walk when she didn't have to. Would recommend!”

About: I offer dog sitting/walking/drop in play visits as well as night stays for when you go away on holiday for any pet you have. I have looked after other people's cats and dogs my whole life and have volunteered at Dogs Trust in my teenage years. I love all animals and am at my happiest when in their company. I love the outdoors and have a boundless energy - its like your dog will be taking me for the walk... but can be calm and assertive when needed. Your dog will get the walk of its life every single time and every second will be spent making sure he/she is enjoying themselves. I am so lucky to be able to make a modest income doing what I would do for free if I could!

“I found Nicky very competent and supportive. I have a beagle, not the easiest dog in the world, and she made friends with him and looked after him really well. I’m more than satisfied and would highly recommend her.”

“Leah and Tim cared for both our rescue huskies, Atlas and Pepe whilst we went to a family wedding and we could not recommend them enough. Leah made the whole process so easy and stress free, from booking to providing photos throughout the day. The dogs loved them both and we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you so much for taking the best care of our fur babies ?”

“We couldn’t be happier with the decision to message Mylie to look after our two wiener dogs while we are on vacation in Mexico for 7 days. Mylie came through and bailed us out last minute as we were scrambling to find a dog sitter to stay in our home during our trip. She was incredibly respectful and caring of both our dogs and our home, going above and beyond to make them feel safe and loved. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“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.”

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: Greetings! With a genuine passion for animals and over a decade of practical experience, I offer reliable and compassionate pet care services. Over the past 10 years, I've had the pleasure of engaging with a variety of pets, specializing in the care of dogs – from large and boisterous to small and shy. My journey into pet care started organically around 5 years ago, evolving into 21 highly rewarding and mostly longer-term house-sitting opportunities. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and my personal companion, a rescue of almost 13 years, accompanies me on every adventure. In addition to canine care, I've successfully tended to the needs of horses, goats, rabbits, and birds, and maintained marine fish and coral environments. Administration of medications, including tablets, injections, and other forms, is within my realm of expertise. Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved companions to a seasoned caregiver who values their well-being and happiness. Let's make your time away worry-free and filled with contented pets. As a self-employed business owner running a boutique digital agency with a fully remote work structure, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine seamlessly aligns with my flexible schedule. Working remotely provides the advantage of being present for our furry friends throughout the day. In my daily routine, breaks for walks, playtime, and feeding become cherished moments of connection with pets under my care. These breaks not only ensure their well-being but also serve as rejuvenating intervals for me, fostering a balanced work-life dynamic. Whether it's a midday stroll or a quick game of fetch, these interactions contribute to a positive and thriving environment for the pets. Every week, I allocate dedicated time for more extended adventures and activities, catering to the specific needs and preferences of each pet. This structure allows for a harmonious blend of work responsibilities and attentive pet care, creating a fulfilling routine for both myself and the animals. The flexibility inherent in my remote work setup further allows me to adapt swiftly to any unexpected pet care requirements, ensuring that their comfort and happiness remain a top priority. In essence, my routine revolves around creating a balanced and enjoyable environment for pets, enriching their lives while maintaining the productivity of my professional endeavours. Currently, my primary focus is providing dedicated pet care within the familiar surroundings of their own homes. This approach ensures that pets experience minimal disruption to their routines and feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. My pet care routine typically includes: Playtime and Exercise: Engaging in play and exercise is an integral part of my care routine. I tailor activities to each pet's preferences and energy levels, whether it's a spirited game of fetch or a stroll around the neighbourhood. Affection and Companionship: Pets thrive on companionship, and I prioritize spending quality time providing affection, belly rubs, and any other attention they may crave. Updates for Pet Owners: Communication is key. I keep pet owners informed with regular updates, including photos, videos and messages, to provide peace of mind about their furry family members. Starting in June, I am excited to announce that I will be expanding my services to include home boarding. This will offer a home-away-from-home experience for pets, where they can enjoy a secure and loving environment.

About: I have had experience with lots of different animals since a young girl including dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters, I have always walked dogs since a young girl too it’s therapy for me as well. Pet care is the first thing I do when I get up, through out the day and the last thing I do before I go to sleep. My dogs have the roam of the whole house with several beds and a bit to many toys. They aren’t supposed to be on the bed but that rule went out the window quickly. My dogs get walked everyday. My guinea pigs always have access to hay at all times. Space to roam about in. They have comfy beds on top of there bedding. Treats and food always available with fresh veg in between. My hamster has the same level of care as my guinea pigs.

“Kizzie is a kind, intelligent, calm & knowledgeable dog sitter. She looked after my dog who is only 4 months old for one week, and I have come back to a calm and well behaved little puppy. Thank you Kizzie for your care and attention to baby Molly. I would wholly recommend Kizzie. She kept me informed all week and I wasn’t worried at all about Molly. Thanks again.”

“the second time in as many months Molly has house sat at our cottage to look after Wilbur, Harvest and a pond full of fish - we returned after five days away in Poland to very happy and contented pets - Molly also managed to catch and free a Magpie which had flown into our conservatory - much credit to her.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals, especially dogs and cats, as I grew up with a highly intelligent German Shepherd who was my family. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for many different breeds - Border Collies, Retrievers, Dachshunds, Samoyed, English Spaniels/Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers, Toy Poodles, Cockapoos, French Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Pomeranians, Goldendoodles, Wire Fox Terriers, Pugs, and of course Shepherds, as well as many cats, giving me years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve also spent time walking and playing with dogs at a shelter (many wonderful mixed breeds), so I understand how to care for pets with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Since moving to the UK, I don’t have pets of my own yet, so it would be an absolute pleasure to care for yours! Whether it’s puppy care, playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m here to provide loving, attentive, and responsible care. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to be available any day of the week for pet care. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to their routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I live on a farm with plenty of open space for dogs to walk, run, and play freely. If caring for pets in their owner's home, I ensure they feel secure and relaxed by sticking to their familiar routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they are always well-fed, exercised, and cared for. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🐾
