House Sitting Salcombe

“Very very good Managed to deal with our two boisterous young golden retrievers whilst also managing to keep the house tidy even to the point of washing dog towels and bedding Definitely recommend Chloe and would use her again whilst we are on holiday”

“Amy is absolutely lovely, trustworthy, reliable, and we would not hesitate to recommend her. Prior to our booking, Amy popped over to our house so that we could all meet and talk through Bob's daily routine etc, we knew straight away that she was going to be perfect. She spent the whole day with Bob, providing us with lots of updates and pictures. They had as great time together, and we came home to a very happy and contented dog!”

“Florence was great. She took amazing care of our two dogs, cat and home for four days. The communication was excellent and the dogs had some great walks. Very happy to recommend Florence to others looking for a sitter”

About: I’m based in Dartmouth but I work near Totnes and Newton Abbot, so I’m happy to provide my service anywhere local. I have three female cats who love to play and cuddle! In the past I had two other cats, a female and a male, and plenty of different dogs including a husky or a German Sheppard and ohh gosh that was an experience to learn about the differences in approach! I’d love to help you out so you can enjoy your time away and know your pets are cared for! I will also send you some cute photos to make sure you don’t miss them too much!

“Dave was brilliant with Bruce yesterday. First time we have left him with somebody other than family. He had a great time and they were best of friends by the time Dave left last night. Can’t praise him enough for how he looked after our boy. Thank you Dave. Julie”

“Tim certainly loves dogs and takes his role seriously. Our two retrievers were very happy, well exercised and I think they thought he was their best friend.”

“Rebekah was absolutely brilliant with our nervous, senior rescue dog. Her love of dogs and her empathy and kindness shines through. Rebekah was a great communicator throughout and kept us updated during her stay with regular photos and videos of our doggie. Rebekah took a lot of time and trouble to get to know our old girl beforehand, which really set our mind at rest and made our time away worry-free. Rebekah is a superb dog and house sitter and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Emma was wonderful during her recent sit for Tilly. Had a lovely meet and greet... , friendly and open. Communicated well throughout the stay and Tilly relaxed very quickly in her care and was very settled and comfortable when we arrived home.”

About: I am currently available for the Eater Holidays! I have looked after pets since I was a child, from having rabbits, cats and most recently bringing up my own dog since he was a puppy. Whilst working from home in the last 5 years I provided daily dog care for my sister's senior pug - ensuring she was always well looked after, snuggled and walked over my lunch break I have been the primary carer for my 5 year old high energy dog, raising him from a puppy, taking charge of his training to become a well rounded obedient dog who is well socialised and has a good array of tricks/commands As a child I looked after 3 family cats 2 from kittens, through to them being senior cats and crossing the rainbow bridge 2 of which were 19 years old. I have also rescued young kittens when I came across them in abandoned box, we were with the local shelter as fosterers until they found their forever home All around, I am a fit person excited to look after your furry family and make your life a bit easier. I am pretty flexible and currently have availability whenever fits around your life :) I am currently not working, having returned from an overseas trip with my husband, so am available to fit around your schedule. I have my own vehicle, with business insurance so would be available to come take your pets on an adventure. I am also a national trust member, so beach trips or heading to Saltram House are adventures I would be happy to have. I enjoy running, so if you have a high energy dog I would, after a time be open to bringing them on 3-5km runs with me - on lead only. At the moment I am not offering at home care, as I think it is important to establish myself out of the house, with trust before bringing dogs in to my own home. I would however be happy to do some light training with dogs, including socialisation with my own dog, Max or helping them learn to settle in busier environments, or just having a good old run around.

“We were going away for the weekend and didn’t want to put Cassi, our 16 month old GSD, into kennels. Molly provided the perfect solution so that Cassi remained at home. Molly is polite, friendly and obviously a dog lover. While we were away we had regular photo’s of Cassi living in surroundings that she is familiar with and being looked after - and played with ! We returned home to a relaxed, unstressed and happy dog - and as such, we would have no hesitation in calling upon Molly’s services again - or indeed recommending her.”

About: new to this but I have had various pets over the years, my cat is 16 years old and still going strong, no experience but willing to learn I work full time, but always free after midday, afternoon walks and check ins would all be done after this time, I drive so easy to get to places I will always follow any instructions left for me, dogs will always be kept on leads for every one's safety, dietary needs will be met

“Sophie is trustworthy, helpful, reliable and caring. She took care of my dog, whilst also looking after my home, when I was away. I was kept updated at all times and felt very reassured and confident to leave all that's precious to me in her care.”

Tim T.

“Thank you so much Sophie & Nick. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety. Sophie & Nick took the time to get to know him and gently introduce him. It's clear to me how much they care about dogs, as my boy was very well looked after. Sophie sent lots of photos snd regularly updated me on how he was managing. Highly recommended and will certainly book their services again.”

“George was really understanding about Phoebe's delicate nature, and loved and looked after her as I would do. He is an excellent house guest, and I would highly recommend him. I shall be booking George again when I next go away.”
