About: I’m a passionate and experienced pet sitter. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds like Chihuahuas to larger breeds like Labradors. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more relaxed and laid-back, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in following any specific instructions to ensure their feeding, walking, and playtime schedules remain consistent, making sure they feel at ease. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the care and affection they deserve, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your dog’s specific needs! I will be available Tuesday - Friday anytime in the morning until 6pm and Sunday’s all day from the 15th April. This is due to other working commitments but I’m able to drop in before or after work if this helps with flexibility! I have been given set instructions before in regards to pets feeding schedule, how often I should walk them etc, so I’m more than happy to stick to your pets schedule to make them and you feel comfortable.
“Amy is so wonderful with our dog and despite our dog being a bit shy around new people, she's warmed to Amy really quickly. Amy is really reliable with booking and we are so pleased to be booking in with Amy regularly.”
“Joe has been spending time with our dog, Primrose, for the past few weeks. He's been wonderful with her, and we're truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and trustworthy to look after her when we can't be there.”
About: I have been with Rover for 2 years and continued to provide doggy day care for a rescued staff. I also regularly walk and look after my friends' and neighbours' dogs. I work Monday to Friday from home so have some availability for house sitting and day care during the week. The weekends are best as I can then take them on longer walks. I have a terraced garden which is raised and then has immediate access to the playpark that my house backs onto. I live alone so you can be assured your dog will be looked after by me and there are no children or other housemates .
About: I have had pets in my home since I was 2 and have been looking after my own pets since I was 11, since I was 17, I have been walking and caring for local families' pets when they have been away, day sitting and the occassional overnight stay. I have dealt with all ages of dogs, from puppies through to my own very senior (19 y.o.) deaf and blind dog, with a range of behaviours from docile, through "ordinary" to a manic ball of energy. i’m currently working part time and have time off everyday to care for your pets from 2pm onwards. my partner will also be in the home and is currently on leave from work so he will be able to care for your pets 24/7. i have a fenced in patio space but many open green spaces nearby. we have a good amount of sun in to the patio and home so if your pets like to lounge around they will love it. My home has a fenced in sunny patio area which is cleaned and disinfected regularly, the surrounding area has large green spaces so whether your dog likes to lie in the sun and/or scamper through the park, both environments are within easy reach.
About: -Only accepting friendly non-reactive Dogs -No Bullies or crosses I am Bee, 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 work from home most of the week, as I work as a theatre practitioner so I'm only out for around 6 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.
“Tegan is great and we are so thankful she is able to help us out with Barney whilst we are at work. He clearly enjoys his walks as he gets super excited when she arrives.”
About: I have previously been employed as a dog walker and pet sitter for my local area through the company We Love Pets.

I work Monday to Friday and can house sit or dog walk at weekends. I will be off work completely from the end of July until the start of September. I am very aware of the different needs animals might have when being taken care of in their own home. I have previously worked with dogs that were escape artists so am aware of the need to keep them safe.

mia p.
“Mia came to look after three dogs and was punctual, polite and listened to the needs of each dog, taking notes which was a comfort, as one, Frigg, is a handful at the best of times. She made sure that all three were exercised, medicated and cared for. She followed all the rules for the dogs when they are in the house, crating and not on furniture until they are washed etc, and all the house rules when she stayed overnight with them. It was a pity when we moved away as I think the three of them missed their friend.”
Amber J.
“Bee is an incredibly reliable, responsible, caring, and attentive dog trainer and sitter. She has an excellent attitude towards dog care, treating every dog like they are her own. She helped me enormously whilst looking after a friend’s dog who had behavioural issues. She took initiative to work with the dog to ensure that it would not pose harm to others. By the end of the week, the dog was much happier and relaxed around strangers. All down to Bee’s excellent training abilities! I would highly recommend Bee as a dog sitter and trainer. She is kind and gentle, and will make your dog feel calm, settled, and at home in her company.”

Réka S.
“I was on vacation but i couldn't bring my cat with me, so she helped me and took care of my cat for two weeks. Usually my cat get anxious easily for longer time around new people, especially after some travelling. But at this time she made Liza (my cat) feel like home really fast. Liza felt really comfy with her and safe. I confidently recommend her if you want a friendly trustfull person to take care of your pets. Also if you want your pets to have great time even if you are away, she is a good choice.”
Samah A.
“Growing up with Samah makes me confident to say she has always been kindhearted. From early on she used to bring injured or abandoned kittens and birds to our home so we can provide them with shelter and food. I clearly remember it as if it was yesterday when she was saving up to get a laptop but instead she used that to pay for a prescription for a cat. I can keep listing all the great things she has done to help animals but finding this website to continue her charitable work is a living proof of her caring nature. Samah is a ⭐️!”
