Dog Boarding Salcombe

“Octavia took wonderful care of Biscuit for 10 days! Many lovely updates with pics and videos of a very happy, well looked-after pup. I don’t think she wanted to come home in the end! It truly felt like Biscuit was welcomed into the family with Octavia and co, and I’m sure we’ll be trusting her to care for Biscuit again in the future. Thanks again for everything! x”

“What a lovely lady Petrina is, very welcoming and will fit in around any request. You know straight away she loves dogs, keeps you up to date with how your dog is whilst staying with her. Our little ruby was at home straight away and we were so happy with Ruby's stay. We would highly recommend Petrina if you were think of leaving your dog with someone as we had total piece of mind whilst away.”

“Jaya had a lovely time with Nicky, who was all round fab! Her place was dog friendly inside and out. Lots of lovely lounge spots inside and sniff interesting outside in the beautiful garden. Nicky thoughtfully gave Jaya everything she needed, being so kindly attentive to her idiosyncrasies and managing them really well. Felt very comfortable leaving her in capable hands and would definitely use again when in the area. As well as highly recommend.”

“Frankie and beaux had an amazing time at Lucy’s, they both settled into their family life perfectly and were very well looked after. My dogs got plenty of walks and updates. I’m so happy we’ve found a kind loving home for my dogs to stay with and we will be using Lucy again”

“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”

About: I have shared my home and my heart with dogs throughout my entire adult life, giving me a deep, first hand understanding of canine behaviour, routines, and needs. From raising and training our beloved family dog from a puppy into a well-mannered companion, to recently providing dedicated, compassionate care for mine and my partners senior boy in his final years, I understand the unique joys and responsibilities that come with every stage of a dog's life. Your companion will enjoy a highly active, engaging routine with plenty of dedicated play sessions, puzzles, and long, stimulating walks through the local countryside. Without the strict constraints of a standard working week, I can provide the continuous companionship, attention, and exercise your dog needs to stay happy, relaxed, and fully entertained. I have a fully secure fenced garden where your dog can play, stretch, and relax with total freedom and directly behind the house lies a beautiful, private woodland, allowing us to step straight from the property into nature for quiet, enriching walks away from busy roads and public distractions. Inside, I maintain a genuine "home from home" philosophy- dogs are warmly welcomed onto the furniture and the sofas if that is what they prefer. I want your dog to feel completely part of the family whilst they stay with us.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and regularly take care of friend’s doggos! I am comfortable looking after all breeds and all needs! I work part time so am free all day on a Monday to cuddle with your pups! I live close to Dartmoor so there are lots of great walks nearby for them to enjoy! I have a safe fenced garden in a quiet area. I am experienced in taking care of many different types of dogs and making sure they are comfortable in my home. I am free mostly on weekends but often I am available during the week/evenings - please contact me if you have any questions at all! Disclaimer - I appreciate being told if you are running late to collect your pet - if you are late then I will modify the booking to reflect this.

“We booked our dog, Nelly in with Claudia last minute due to being let down. She was really accommodating, making sure she knew everything about Nelly before she arrived. Claudia kept in touch during the whole stay, sending videos, photos and updates. Nelly had a fantastic time and looked like she had a better holiday than we did.”

About: I've always been a bit dog obsessed from a young age and have had a number of dogs myself, including an English Setter rescue from Croatia who'd never lived in a home before & was anxious around many dogs, excluding my lovely Labradoodle, who was his safety blanket, so a lot of love, patience & training was required to give him his best final years of life. I currently have an extremely friendly & sociable Clumber Spaniel X bitch, 16 months old who loves life & would welcome any dog in her home for a day or sleepover/s. So, recent experience of older dogs who just want comfort, company, cuddles & a short stroll to a manic puppy who didn't have an off switch...which I've since found! I live within walking distance to fields & the coastline & work from home with a secure garden so can offer your dog a little holiday whilst you can enjoy yours guilt free knowing that they are happy too! I currently work part time from home, apart from Thursdays when I volunteer for Animals in Distress for 4hrs, so have plenty of time for walks & play time. I have a fenced in secure garden & have a large crate available for your dog if they feel more secure in a crate and they can enjoy the company of my very well socialised dog Clemmie. Should I ever need to pop out I have a Blink camera so that I can always keep eyes on!

“for zulu first time staying overnight and hearing that she bonded with all the family is amazing.

“Alison is a brilliant sitter. It was the first time our small dog has been left with anyone but family, so we were very apprehensive, but straight from the off Alison but our minds at rest, she messaged, took videos & pictures throughout the day, reassuring us that our dog had settled in well. When I went to collect her she seemed very happy & content. Thank you Alison for providing a lovely second home for our dog, we will certainly be using Alison on a regular basic.”

“Polo has stayed with Mark several times now and feels very much at home there. Mark kept me updated with photos, as always. Looked like Polo had a great time on his walks and lots of play time. Mark was super helpful as he looked after Polo longer than planned when my flight home was delayed, which I very much appreciated. Highly recommend Mark as a sitter.”

“Sophie was amazing with my 2 dogs. One suffers with bad separation anxiety. I got updates daily and both boys loved their time with Sophie and Spencer. She was attentive, understanding and I managed to feel safe knowing they were with her. She definitely helped my anxious dog come out of his shell a lot more, so will definitely book with her again.”

“DD had tge best time with Matthew and his Mum. She had lots of woodland d walks, cuddles and general fuss. Just perfect. Would highly recommend Matthew.”

“This was Bobbies second stay with Stacey, also her longest stay with anyone. As soon as we dropped Bobbie off she went to Stacey, it was so reassuring to see that your dog is very comfortable with someone other than family. Once again Stacey took amazing care of Bobbie, we received lovely photos & videos throughout her stay to reassure us. You could see that Bobbie had settled well & was having a wonderful time. Not only did Stacey & her family treat Bobbie like their own dog, but they also even bought her a gift of some lovely toys for her to take home, so kind and completely unexpected. We will definitely be booking with Stacey and her family again; we are completely reassured that Bobbie has a lovely time while away & is as well cared for as we could wish for. We cannot recommend Stacey highly enough - Thank you”

“Our pups had the best holiday with Vanessa. Was their first time staying with anyone since we have moved to Devon and they had the best time, you can tell they were truly looked after and spoilt. We met Vanessa before and did a couple of hours a few weeks prior to get the dogs used to it all, and the day they were staying for the weekend they were both itching to get in the house which as an owner you couldn't ask for more. We had regular updates and Vanessa made sure they followed the same routine they are used to which was perfect. We would choose for our pups to stay there again in a heartbeat.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Matt! He looked after our dog Nellie for a week, and from start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic. Matt was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with Nellie, taking the time to make sure she felt comfortable, settled, and happy throughout her stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her wellbeing and treated her as if she were his own. One thing we especially appreciated was how regularly Matt kept us updated. He frequently sent us photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Nellie happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was in such good hands. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and dedication Matt showed. Nellie had a wonderful time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Matt!”

“Ella was absolutely amazing with our boy Blue, she provided regular updates, photos & videos. She made the whole experience great from Blue, we cannot recommend her enough, she truly is an amazing dog sitter and person.”

About: I am self-employed, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my availability and hours. I also have two animal-loving children who are at nursery and school during the day, allowing me plenty of time for feeding visits, companionship, playtime and check-ins 🐱💕 I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their cats are safe, comfortable and well cared for while they are away. I always make sure pets have a calm, clean and secure environment, follow routines carefully, and give them plenty of attention, reassurance and fuss. I am respectful of owners’ homes and will always keep communication open with updates and photos if requested 😊

“Mark has been fantastic. He’s communicated well with us, sending us videos and updates. Monkey has clearly been well looked after and really got on well with his GSD Luna. He’s also come back even better behaved as Mark has worked on some lead training! People with larger or young bouncy, energetic dogs who need good walks and space to burn off energy in a safe environment - Mark is ideal.”
