About: Live with my partner and our rescue greyhound Roly-full time napper and table grazer. Looking to forward to walking or dropping in your gorgeous poochie. Grown up with Cats so plenty of love and time for those house rulers too! I’m currently working part time so I have good availability through the week and weekends. Being a Dog and cat owner myself I understand the needs of each animal. Can’t wait to meet them! I have a fenced in back garden. I will be doing mainly drop ins and sitting so your pet can be comfortable in their own home.
“Emma was great. She booked several visits to look after our blind cat at short notice, and was a real life saver. It was peace of mind knowing Jimbo was well looked after whist we were away. She uploaded photos from each visit, which were nice to look through once my phone had signal! I recommend :)”
“Lauren was great! Looking after our cats wasn't straightforward. We have two kittens who hadn't been left alone before & needed feeding separately & an older cat needing 2 types of medication on different schedules. Lauren took all this on board & met our needs. She communicated well & provided us the reassurance we were looking for while away!”
“This was a repeat booking. Sarah really takes good care of my house cat, Maya, and sends lots of updates and photos while I’m away which really puts my mind at rest. Maya loved her!”
About: As the dedicated pet sitter in the family, with two well-trained border collies, I stand out by being trustworthy and reliable. I've been trusted with dog walking my border collies since I was 12 when we got them! Clear communication, frequent pupdates, and a genuine love for animals define my approach. Whether it’s following feeding instructions precisely or ensuring pets’ safety during walks, I prioritize their well-being. I'm not qualified or have certificates, but you can trust me to treat your furry companions like family! My weekends are usually entirely free with a handful of weekdays, always looking for an extra shift for my university savings!! I'm just eager to be out and about with new pups or inside cuddling with some cats! ☺️ I always treat all animals like they're my own and their own person. I love to play, walk, cuddle – I'm down for it all!
“Joe was great, very professional and takes a lot of pride in providing the best care for animals. Joe was respectful of our home and gave our cats lots of fuss and attention. I would recommend Joe and would use him again.”
“I hired Réka to look after my two cats while i was away for my wedding. Réka is such a lovely girl and I felt instantly at ease meeting her in person. I could tell she was trustworthy right away and would be a calming presence for my cats. She gave us thorough updates of the cats during every drop in along with photos, so I knew they were both alright. When I got back home, my cats did not show any signs of stress and seemed very relaxed. This is a big thing as my older cat Kiki is very shy and becomes stressed easily with new people. It was nice to know that she had been comfortable while Réka took care of them and I would definitely ask Réka to help us out in future! Thanks again!”
“Dylan is amazing! The UKs Jackson Gakaxy ( the cat daddy). My cat sybil loves him. He took the time to get to know her and gained her trust. She is an indoor cat, so enrichment is super important and Dylan was a complete hit with her. Is obvious that Dylan has a real connection with animals, he was Sybils best friend immediately ( he didn't even have to bribe her with treats haha) which made ne feel confident to entrust my little world to him I really appreciated the video and photos he sent. 100% recommend.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and had my dachshund for almost 17 years. I love animals and I treat them as a member of the family! 💕 I am always available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate more time to pet care :) During the week I’m available for drop in visits or walks in early morning anytime before 8am or anytime after 17:30 I always ensure that pets are comfortable and have regular opportunities for fresh air and exercise in a safe environment. When caring for cats in their own home, I respect their personal space and adapt to their individual personality - whether they enjoy playtime and cuddles or prefer a quieter, more independent routine.
About: Hi, I’m Karen, the owner of a Plymouth based business. I pride myself on running a trusted and caring pet service dedicated to giving your pets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. I provide reliable dog walking, pet sitting, adventure days, drop-in visits and puppy/kitten checks tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Franco is at the heart of my business and has helped me socialise other dogs (on request) to facilitate small group walks and adventure days for him and his friends. Of course, I offer 1:1 care and focus on building a calm, friendly, and positive environment for every animal I care for. Whether it’s energetic adventure walks, comforting home visits, or caring for young puppies and kittens, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS check, and am qualified in pet first aid. I am experienced with puppies, kittens, medication administration and care for pets with varying health conditions. I pride myself on being dependable, compassionate, and attentive. Every pet deserves plenty of love, stimulation, and personalised care. From regular walks to overnight sitting and check-ins while you’re away, I’m here to help keep your pets happy, healthy and cared for at all times. I am happy to provide photos and updates throughout for your peace of mind. I own a full time pet care business so your fur-babies can fit in to my days nicely! No two days look the same but I aim to accommodate 1-2 solo dog walks daily and 1-2 small group walks per day. In between, I provide drop-in visits as required. If I am providing 24 hour pet sitting, it is important to know that I expect to be able to leave the property for a minimum of 2 x 2 hour periods per day to accommodate the needs of my other furry clients. Photos and updates are provided. If caring for animals in my own home, I have a fully enclosed courtyard and care for your pets as per your preference, whether that is with crating or other routines that help them to feel safe and cared for. For boarding, your dog can expect 2 walks per day and lots of stimulation and love! It is important to know that I expect to be able to leave my property for a minimum of 2 x 2 hour periods per day to accommodate the needs of my other furry clients. Photos and updates are provided.
About: I'm motivated as I'm not able to have dogs of my own as I'm currently renting a place that doesn't allow pets. I look after my friends puppy and helped her puppy to acclimatize when she first got her. I know everyone probably says this, but I love animals and treasure every chance I get to spend time with one. I work full time hours but compact into four days and on a bi weekly schedule so have four consecutive days off every other week. So fairly flexible. Able to walk dogs any day as I can do that even on my days working. I always make sure that I understand the owners wishes and requirements regarding the care of their dogs both at home and outside. As well as any boundaries regarding their home when completing home visits and stays.
About: -Flexible, positive method Dog Trainer -Pick up & Drop offs available on request -Only accepting dog friendly non-reactive Dogs for boarding -Training enquiries welcome I am Amber, a puppy behaviourist and dog trainer working in Plymouth. I am working towards my Level 3 qualification in Assistance Dog Training, and have plenty of time to interact with dogs while I study from home. I have trained and cared for a range of dogs over the past few years, and raised my own Sprollie Scout and Assistance Dog Sparrow. I am also a Musical Director and Project Manager, I work from home most of the time but do often work some evenings. Housesitting: I am delighted to offer my services as a house-sitter at competitive rates, as I work both inside and outside of the house during my week. Please ensure your dog is happy home alone for up to a full working day, and has a flexible schedule, if you’d like me to housesit for you. 24/7 sits available, depending on availability, at £15ph. Light cleaning included (bedsheets changed, surface wiped, vacuum cleaned) Extra cleaning is £30ph. I work from home most of the week, as I work as a Project Manager and Musical Director, so I'm only out for around 10 hours a week! I also work as a musician, but that means I am at home composing most of the time, and of course going on lovely walks with my dog. I have a house with a large front room and a little outside space. Due to the format of the house, I can only take small and medium dogs for the time being. I have plenty of doors in between the main room and the front exit, so dogs are very safe and secure in the house. PLEASE NOTE: I will only accept non-reactive dogs with no vocal issues. I live in a terraced house with 2 resident dogs, so I cannot accept dogs who are reactive/ will reactively bark/ whimper excessively.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, I know how to potty train them, groom them and understand them. I can confidently say that I have a deeper connection with animals than most and know their needs. I’m a university student so I have lots of time to play and take care of you pets. I try to walk 20 minutes a day and that would be beneficial for your pets as well, I love to spend time outside in nature and go to the beach. I have very good habits and don’t get distracted. I also love spending time with pets and care for them, especially go on long walks and actively play with them.
“Morgan is a very responsible and professional person, the care of my cat who is very distrustful was done very well. Thank you very much, I will definitely use your services again. Kind regards”
About: I've had a Weimaraner since I was seven years old and now also have two small pups, a Sheba/Husky mix and a Havapoo. I am a lifelong dog lover with over five years of trust pet-sitting experience. I'm comfortable with all dog sizes and cared for them with love, patience and lots of playtime. I can care for your pups, weekdays, evenings or weekends. As a dog lover, this is my ideal job and with a very flexible schedule can work with you to best meet your needs. I have my own transportation and can readily come to your house to walk or care for your pets. If needed, I'm available to care for your pups in your home as well.
About: Available over Christmas Growing up, my family had a large German Shepherd named Chico who I absolutely adored and would spend large amounts of time playing with. This is where my love for big dogs began. After moving from my parents, I was unable to get my own dog due to not finding suitable accommodation. However, I managed to get many hours of caring for my nieces boarder collie in. Reggie, the collie in question, was my first experience with a reactive dog. After months of doing my own research and training Reggie (and my niece) we saw some real progress in his behaviour. Fast forward a year and I was training my own, very large, very reactive Catahoula/Labrador. Training such a large, powerful dog and working alongside an incredibly skilled dog trainer taught me so much and helped me build my confidence with dogs that needed a little more patience and work. Because of these experiences, I am more than happy to work alongside pets that others may not be. I would be offering more than just a walking/sitting service and am happy to use my knowledge to help owners train their pets if desired. Please send me a message for my availability as I work shifts but am happy to move things about when I can. I will always want to meet a dog before sitting/walking then to ensure we are the right fit for one another! My care for your pet will always vary greatly depending on their own needs and personality. I will always ask to meet the pet and owner first to discuss any care requirements they have and to make sure we are a good for for one another
Plymouth cat owners share their Rover experiences
Millie was so good and kept us fully informed and sent us Lovely Photos too. What a really Nice Girl and Billy appeared to enjoy the attention he got from her. If he could talk he’d say she was Purrfect Lol at looking after him. Definitely recommend Millie and we will ask her again if we need someone for Billy Thank you Millie
Dylan is amazing! The UKs Jackson Gakaxy ( the cat daddy). My cat sybil loves him. He took the time to get to know her and gained her trust. She is an indoor cat, so enrichment is super important and Dylan was a complete hit with her. Is obvious that Dylan has a real connection with animals, he was Sybils best friend immediately ( he didn't even have to bribe her with treats haha) which made ne feel confident to entrust my little world to him I really appreciated the video and photos he sent. 100% recommend.
Sarah did drop in visits for our little Archie, while we were away on a trip for 2 weeks. She took really good care of him. Archie likes to play in the yard, and Sarah made sure he had enough sun shine whenever it's possible! She also spent time cuddling and playing with Archie to keep him happy, in addition to regular feeding, litter changing etc. She also gives regular updates with photos and videos. Recommend booking Sarah for your peace of mind!

Could not fault Sophie if I tried. My three absolutely adored her visits and this was shown with my least social one also being home for every time she came over. Sophie did everything requested and more. My kitties warmed up to her very quickly and I was kept up to date the entire time with pics and notes regarding visits. 100% going to book again. Thank you so much, and Oreo says meow.
Kate was amazing looking after my cat Silkie while I was away. She sent me lots of photos and videos after each visit, along with updates on how he was doing, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared for him, she even picked up on how happy he was to see her when she visited, which meant a lot to me. She was so kind and complimentary about Silkie too. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kate again. Definitely recommend!
Emma was amazing. Leo was taken care of so well. He is a very shy cat but warmed up to her quite quickly. She was also very helpful with last minute changes to timings and days. Emma also updated us on every visit with photos and updates on how he was, which was great as we were able to know how he was. Thank you Emma for being so flexible, understanding and being so amazing with Leo.
This was our first time using a cat-sitting service so we were a bit nervous, especially as our cats are older now. Saffron put our mind at ease with regular updates, clear communication, and overall good care of our cats while we were away. We would definitely recommend Saffron to others and would use her services again.
