House Sitting North Devon

“Thandi has done a day sit for our dogs, and she did an excellent job. Very attentive and sent regular updates. One of our dogs can get separation anxiety, and is unsure around new people, but Thandi handled it excellently, and we will definitely be using her again.”

About: My family have had dogs ever since I was born, i have always bonded well with dogs and loved having a pal to go walking or running with. My dog in my family home has been an excellent companian and I miss having a furry friend around! I feel that I am confident with a range of dog breeds, I am affectionate but also know how to be firm and set boundaries. I love to give a dog plenty of play and exercise on walks. I am a firm believer in keeping inside the house a calm environment for pets to settle and ensure that this is paired with lots of garden playtime and exploring on walks. I’m a freelance marketer so I work from anywhere. I have a completely flexible schedule apart from a couple of online client meetings on a Monday. I am able to let a dog/cat out / feed animals whenever is required. I would ensure any pet is tended to at least every hour. I will adapt to each animals routine, making sure they feel completely comfortable around me. I will listen and adhere to any boundaries you have with your pet, ensuring a smooth transition between yourself and my services.

“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”

“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 😊”

“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.”

“We are so incredibly grateful to Leah and Tim. Such a lovely couple, they came to look after our (very active) pointer for the night whilst we went to a party. They took great care of River and left the place immaculate. Hope we get to see you both again on the future x”

“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.”

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

“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!

About: I offer Boarding and Daycare for your dogs based at my home in Appledore, North Devon. Fully licenced with Torridge District Council ANACT/00528/25 , I'm Canine First Aid trained and fully Insured with 'Pet Business Insurance' and DBS checked for your peace of mind. I know that your fur babies are precious to you so all dogs coming to Doggy Daycare and Boarding of Appledore receive the same love, care and one-to-one attention, play and walkies that our own darling little Cavapoo, Bunty, gets to ensure their happiness and well being. Caring for all age groups is second nature to me as I've had dogs my entire life. There is a large park right across from our house and your dog/s will get 2 to 3 walks a day, depending on their needs, together with access to our fully enclosed rear garden. We are surrounded by beautiful beaches and woods that your dogs can be spoilt with. I always like to have a meet and greet (free of charge) in the first instance as it gives the dogs, owners and me a chance to get to know each other a little better. This is my full time job so I'm always here to offer playtime and cuddles and company for your dog. Dogs are part of the family pack, they love being with us so caring for them is very important to me. Our back garden is fully dog-proofed. We have a dog flap plus the back door is open all day on nice days so they may come and go at leisure. We have a dog ramp on the steps to ensure short legged/older/injured/disabled dogs can access the rear garden too. Your dog can roam around in complete safety. We have a very chilled and friendly little Cavapoo who loves making new friends. You'll receive photos and videos of your dog so that you can relax in the knowledge they're having lots of fun whilst they're with me. And you're always welcome to video call to see your dog in real time 🐾

“We couldn't be happier with Holly and Giles and their dog sitting over four days. During the meet and greet, before accepting the request, they instantly hit it off with our dog and were very thorough with questions abouts our dog's needs and routines. Holly was always quick to respond to messages and sent us pictures and videos during the actual dog sitting. As well as treating our dog with respect, it was clear they also treated our house with respect during their stay.”

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: Hi, I’m Kevin! I’m a 35-year-old dog lover and freelance designer based in London, working remotely from my laptop. I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away. Since I work from home, your pets won’t ever be left alone - I’ll always be around to keep them company. A few years ago, I lost my dog after 13 amazing years together, and I’m really missing having a furry friend around. I’ve always felt at ease with dogs, especially big ones like German Shepherds. I’ve also helped train two rescue dogs, including a German Shepherd and an Airedale, both of whom had some behavioural challenges but turned into happy, calm companions. I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your pets - whether that’s for long walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out. All dog owners are the best owners to their beloved pets but I can guarantee you I will reduce any separation anxiety a pet may have and will keep you updated with regular photos of your furry family member while you are away. Besides dogs, I’ve cared for cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, degus, and even tortoises. For me, animals aren’t just pets - they’re family. I treat every furry (or scaly!) friend as if they were my own, giving them all the love and attention they deserve. I’d be really happy to help look after your pets!

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! 🐾
