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.

“I booked Sophia to take my dog Arthur out for walks every day this week, and she was fantastic. She took such great care of Arthur, making sure he was happy, well looked after, and nicely tired after his walks updating me with pictures and videos too. She was also respectful in my home and even went above and beyond making sure my two cats were happy before leaving each day. Arthur is usually very nervous, but he loved Sophia from the moment they met. I’d highly recommend her, thank you again🥰”

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!

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.

“Jacy has walked my dog Rhubarb a couple of times now and it’s always been a really positive experience. She’s friendly, reliable, and clearly great with dogs. Rhubarb took to her straight away and always comes back from her walks happy and relaxed. Communication has been easy, and I’ve felt comfortable knowing Rhubarb is in good hands.”

About: You can be sure of safe and loving care for your pet in my hands, I'm trained in Canine First Aid, DBS checked, insured, and studying for my Dog Walking and Sitting certification with the British College of Canine Studies. I'm grand-dog-mother to my daughter's elegant Italian greyhound and my son's tiny Chihuahua. I have lots of patience and kindness to lavish on your pets and look forward to spending time with them, keeping you updated to put your mind at rest. As well as dog sitting I undertake some part-time freelance work, mostly working from home (or from your home if dog sitting), so am available for all overnight or longer periods of care in your home. I have set the distance I will cover to a narrow range so that for dog sits, I woukd never be away from your home any longer than 4 hours, and I will always make sure your pets are exercised, fed and looked after. Should your pet require 24/7 care, I can usually accommodate this, but this would be charged an extra fee. I will look after your dog or cat in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. I am DBS checked and you can be sure I will treat your home with the same care and respect that I will give you your pet. I have my own insurance for your and my peace of mind.

“Thanks again to Sarah for helping me out during a particularly busy work week. Sarah’s efficient, prompt, very caring and clearly loves taking my BT out. Thank you”

About: As a family household we are huge dog lovers and have lots of experience caring for all types and sizes of dogs. Since losing our own beagle, we’ve found ourselves really missing the joy of having a dog around. Whether your dog loves walks, play or just a cosy cuddle, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our house or their own. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. I work part time with someone home from 2:15pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays ( we leave at 8.30am) , and full-day at home availability on other days if needed between myself and my husband Drew. We’re really excited to meet your loved ones and give them lots of attention, company and care. Our two children are around on weekends and evenings. They have grown up around both excited and nervous dogs, so they understand different behaviours and needs. Dogs are never left unattended and are always treated as part of the family. For dog walking or drop in services please check our availability calendar. Our normal availability is Monday 9.30-2.30 Thursday 9.30-2.30 and then 18-21. Saturday and Sunday all day, children will attend on weekends and holidays. Only one dog per walk unless a additional same family dog member is added. We care for pets in a calm, loving home environment and follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. We have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, as well as nearby fields and woodland for walks, and we’re also happy to travel by car for variety if your dog enjoys different walking spots. Dogs are supervised at all times and included in family life, with plenty of play, affection and rest. We’re happy to accommodate crates if required and can follow any specific instructions around feeding, exercise, medication or routines to help your dog feel settled and comfortable during their stay. Before we start walking your dog, we’ll take the time to get to know them properly. We’ll ask about the type of walks your dog enjoys most. We’ll also discuss their routine, recall, behaviour around other dogs and people, any training cues you use, and any health or mobility needs. This helps us tailor each walk to suit your dog’s personality, energy level, and wellbeing, so they feel happy, safe, and confident every time they’re out with us. Our dog walking service is one dog only at a time. Unless it’s an additional same family dog add on.

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.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for the past 3 years, giving me daily, hands-on experience with feeding routines, structured walks, playtime, basic training, and understanding canine behaviour. Caring for my own dog has taught me responsibility, patience, and how important consistency is for a happy, well-balanced pup. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and always adapt to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a calmer pace and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m available most weekends, including late Friday afternoons and evenings, making me a great option for weekend trips, evenings out, or last-minute plans. I’m flexible with timing and always do my best to accommodate your schedule where possible. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a calm environment, and given plenty of attention and care. While I don’t have a garden, I live very close to Central Park, which provides plenty of safe, open space for regular walks, exercise, and enrichment. I make sure all dogs are kept on-lead unless otherwise agreed. I carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide.

About: ❗Please note that prices are subject to travel cost and time! 🐶🐈‍⬛ I always liked being around animals and when I was young we adopted a cat and a couple of years later a dog too! I got to learn how to take good care of them on a day-to-day basis, and gained experience in handling pet visits, care after surgery and managing their requirements. Our family had multiple self-trained dogs before, so I can assure you that yours will be in safe hands as well :) I'm a university students who likes to move, go out a lot and explore! I'm quite flexible as I don't have to be in every day and I'm also happy to hop in before and after lectures. I'm sure we will be able to find a time that fits us both! I consider myself a patient and cooperative person with both dogs and cats of all kind! I always pay attention to their body language to make sure they are feeling well and comfortable in their environment. Additionally, I make sure that your pet get their daily movement and engagement by walks and playing, and of course to receive proper nutrition and hygiene. I even enjoy having small training sessions with them! Every pet is different so please let me know about their requirements and needs! I'm looking forward to working with you and your pet! :))

About: I’ll provide your pup with the 5⭐️ holiday they deserve 🥰🐶 I have grown up always with animals and worked at a kennels for a few years during my studies, I then spent 6 months in Australia where I did the Australian version of Rover and thoroughly enjoyed getting to care for each pup (for which my reviews are in my photo section). I am also a Zoology student at the university of Plymouth where I am completing my final year. My studies involve animal behaviour and nutrition which makes me passionate about providing good animal care. I am confident and experienced with all sized dogs, having worked with most breeds during my time in dog care. As I am a student I have lectures and labs dotted through the week but I am flexible with bookings and when dogs are boarding with me they only get left for short periods as I live close to campus so would just be popping out for the odd lecture and working from home the rest of the time 😊🐶 From my experience at the kennels I am good with handling dogs and will keep dogs on leads in public for their safety. I’d love to have sleepovers with your pup at my flat where they will have my full attention and love, I always send regular photo updates throughout their stay :)

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 12. Friends, family, and neighbours often rely on me to walk, feed, and look after their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet company, I tailor care to each pup’s needs. As a student saving for future travels, I’m grateful to spend my time doing what I love — caring for dogs! 🐕✨ I’m a uni student in my final year, and my free time mostly consist of reading, studying, or going for walks to take a break from screens — often the perfect time to have a furry friend join me! My schedule is flexible, so I can offer plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, especially on weekends and afternoons. I have a small secure fenced garden and live close to several lovely green spaces in Plymouth, perfect for safe and fun walks. I keep my environment calm and clean, ensuring pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles, or quiet rest, I’ll make sure they feel right at home and completely safe while you’re away.

About: With over 10 years experience caring for pets, I’ve looked after a variety of breeds and animals. Trusted by family, friends and neighbours for walks, feeding and overnight care, I now have my own friendly pooch who can be great company for your pet. Whether you’re looking for sitting services or simply a good walk, I’ll provide loving and reliable care as if they were my own. I’m a freelance worker who works remotely from home so I can be super flexible as long as notices provided. I provide sitting services and walking services throughout the week and the weekends. This can be tailored to your preferences/needs. I live in a ground floor flat with a fenced garden and have a friendly dog to keep yours company.

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: Aside from looking after my own shi tszu for 9 years, I frequently look after my partners pugs who are the best company. Professionally I have looked after several dogs and cats and loved every single one of them. I am experienced with laid back dogs, happy dogs, grumpy dogs, anxious dogs and cuddly dogs. I have just finished my degree in psychology! Whilst I usually do bank healthcare assistant work, I have a lot of time off at the moment and would love to spend it taking care of animals. I am polite and trust worthy, communicative and friendly. I can send regular pupdates and photos whilst you're away for your peace of mind. When sitting in your home, I am conscientious of your space and keep it clean and tidy, making sure that the house is just as you left it. I am an open and honest communicator and will not hesitate to contact you if there is an issue.
