“Georgette is an amazing person. Our dog loves her and she really goes above and beyond to look after him and make him feel loved.

About: I have previously been employed as a dog walker and pet sitter for my local area through the company We Love Pets. I was trusted with walking up to 5 dogs a day, all independently so they got the care that was right for them. I am confident with all breeds regardless of how big or strong. I have also got experience in dog sitting, especially with nervous dogs. I have previously dog sitted for very nervous dogs who take a while to get used to a new person and have been able to earn their trust. I currently work around school term times. 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.

About: Experienced dog enthusiast, raised with Jack Russell, adept with Labrador, Border Collie, Bulldog, and German Shepherd. Skilled in training, well-versed in dog first aid. Relaxed care tailored to each dog's unique needs. Working from home allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's a midday stroll or some playtime, I prioritise the well-being of furry friends as an integral part of my work-from-home lifestyle. In my home or a pet owner's, I ensure a secure environment with a fenced garden exceeding 6ft. Pets enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and personalised care. Safety and comfort are my top priorities.

“Flora did an amazing job with both my dog and cats. She always left detailed visit reports with pictures of the animals having fun and being fed. She was always on time and reliable and responded to message quickly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to feed their animals.”


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.

“Morgan was lovely and did a great job popping in to check on my two cats. She made sure they were fed, happy, and had some company, which I really appreciated. Will 100% be booking again.”


About: I have had dogs since I was born of all breeds and sizes and now have my own lab. We love to go on runs and long walks with other dogs. I understand the different temperaments and needs of different dogs and wish to make them as comfortable as possible whilst not with their owners. I currently have a 9-5 job but am few any evenings/ early mornings and weekends to help out with whatever your dog requires. I am also available between 12-2 to do any toilet visits. I have a 2 year old Labrador who is very friendly with other dogs. Whilst we currently live in a small flat we are very close to the sea so tend to go for a swim every day which is his favourite!

About: 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 always pay attention to their body language to make sure they are feeling well and comfortable in their environment.

About: I have always owned animals.. from a dog that grew up with me, whom I adored, multiple cats I truly loved and took care of, to 5 beautiful rats! I am an absolute animal lover. I’ve finally moved away from home where my grandma was a regular dog sitter (to which I ended up walking the dogs!) to a flat where I’m feeling lonely, I can’t afford a pet of my own, so it would be an honour to share my home with a pet, even for a little while I am a trained photographer so guaranteed you will walk away with professional pictures of your beloved pet, just because I love the subjects! I am currently working weekends, free most weekdays, I want to leave my current job, I would be happy to gain rapport with Animal owners for this to become my sole job! I will understand that no matter the animal, they will be my boss, I will dedicate my time to your loved animal, whatever routine they follow will be implemented to the letter!

About: Hello! l am an English Literature student at the University of Plymouth, and I am looking to spend more time with animals as I miss my pets back home. I have grown up around dogs and I would love to take care of your furry best friends :) I have volunteered with horses since childhood and owned other animals like bunnies and hamsters, so I am experienced with most types of pets and I love spending time with all animals. I will ensure that your dog is happy and healthy under my supervision and has regular potty breaks. I prefer to work with bigger dogs, but I wouldn't mind any type. Thank you for reading and I hope i get a chance to meet your pets!! I am a student so pretty flexible around lecture times! Happy to do any times that suit your schedule, I am mostly free in the daytime and on weekends :) Every Monday 11-5 and Thursday 10-1 I am in University, so cannot do these times. I have experience looking after dogs and babysitting children, so I can be trusted in your home :) I am always polite and respectful of any house rules of additional requirements - please just let me know! I want my care to be tailored to you and your dogs specific needs.

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 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.
