House Sitting North Devon

“Thandi spent the day with our 18 week old whippet who is full of energy and very bouncy. She was calm and patient with her despite Twig being a bit bitey and scratchy at times. I think that they got to know each other a lot better.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life I have a 6 year old cockapoo called honey …she is my princess I have two guinea pigs called Bert and Ernie … I also used to breed rabbits and have experience looking after lots of other friends and family’s pets …i treat all animals like they are part of the family .. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. I make pet care a priority in my daily routine, ensuring each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship based on their individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any special instructions. I always ensure pets are secure on walks, keep a clean and safe environment, and provide lots of affection and positive attention. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I respect your home, leave it tidy, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Amy is a lovely friendly lady. It was obvious when she first met my two Jack Russells that she loves dogs and the dogs definitely really liked her. They didn’t even bark when she first came in the house, which is unheard of! We went away for our weekend without a worry and returned home to two very happy relaxed doggies. Unusually, we are away meet weekend too and are very happily relieved that Amy is coming to stay again. We would highly recommend Amy.”

“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.”

“I would recommend Melanie to anyone and everyone needing someone to look after their dog. She looked after our cockapoo Dougal whilst we were getting married. Dougal is full of energy and can quite often be a little full on, this was his first time staying with someone he didn’t know so we were a little nervous as to how he might be but we really didn’t need to be! From the moment Melanie arrived we were all put at immediate ease (including Dougal) that we’d made the right choice for Dougal. Throughout the weekend Melanie so kindly kept us updated with videos and pictures so we knew we didn’t have a single thing to worry about and could enjoy our wedding without a worry! She took him on so many walks and adventures that I’m sure Dougal is now back with his parents and not his new best friend! We truly cannot thank you enough! Xxxx”

“A returned to Emily for her services again as we felt the dogs are very comfortable around her. She clearly has a lot of care for animals and left the house in perfect condition! Will continue to rebook in future 😊”

“Kim is a wonderful dog sitter. She has such calm, caring energy and Koa responded to that immediately, was comfortable and friendly right away. She took Koa out for walks, made sure he had his meal and treats, and gave him lots of snuggles - and sent great pictures to show how mellow and comfortable Koa was with her. This was our first time leaving Koa with someone else and she made the experience so satisfying and encouraging - Koa was happy, and we could make a distance visit with complete confidence that Koa was being well cared for. Thank you Kim!”

“Sarah was the perfect house dog sitter. Louie was relaxed and settled with her as evidenced by the photos she sent whilst we were away. As a bonus our home was immaculate when we returned. Sarah kindly started early and stayed late to accommodate our flights so Louie wasn’t left on his own too long . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah.”

About: Fully insured, DBS checked, Pet first aid and Pet Sitting Diploma. I have lifelong experience caring for animals, having grown up with family pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits), caring for farm animals from my uncles farm (piglets, calves and chickens etc.). This passion and care has continued into adulthood. I currently care for my own pets and have gained professional experience through Pawfect Companions, providing reliable and compassionate care for animals in their own homes. My experience includes dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic care and medication, ensuring animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has unique needs and always tailor my care to suit their personality, routine, and wellbeing. I also have a background in safeguarding and community support. Animals have always been a part of my life, a household does feel like home without a one 🐾 Working full time remotely allows me to be flexible to meet your needs. Finally living my dream building up a pet care and dog walking business Barnstaple based with surrounding areas My pet care services are animal centred to your pets needs. Services are tailored and personalised to all care needs. Lots of cuddles and love, treated like my own

“Imogen was professional and showed an enormous amount of genuine care for my puppy, Mabel. She kept in touch throughout the evening with photos and videos which were brilliant. Thank you so much.”

“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!”

“Holly and Giles were absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them. Our dog is a rescue and because of his previous life can be wary of strangers. He adored Holly and Giles from the first time he met them - I have never seen him take to someone so quickly and I trust his judgement! We met up before we went away and again he absolutely loved them, I think he would have happily gone off with them without me! They took amazing care of him, our cat Molly got far more attention than she usually does and they looked after our home and cleaned it for us which was a blessing after a long trip. We received updates and photos every day which helped so much in knowing he was happy. They are both lovely people, genuine, funny and caring and have great knowledge of animals. I hope to keep in touch with them as they feel like friends now. Massively grateful for all their help!”

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!

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'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.

“Kevin came to look after Red and Luna and our daughters beardie Lizzy, along with his lovely partner Hannah and they were just perfect! We highly recommend Kevin (and Hannah of course) as sitters of all your pets and of your home! Thank you so much for taking great care of the doggos and of our home you lovely people!”

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.

“Eden was really good! Eden kept me update how my pup was getting on and sent plenty of photos. I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with Eden. He looked to have had a great time. Thank you Eden!”

“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!”
