About: I provide pet care with a focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that feels just like home. With years of hands-on experience. I’m skilled at adapting to each animal's unique personality and needs. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your pet. I know how important it is to feel close to them, even from afar. Every pet is treated as if they were my own, with genuine affection and respect for their well-being and happiness. I currently work from home so can provide constant play and toilet breaks whenever needed. I have no specific days for boarding as long as this works for me I am willing to offer boarding I have a fenced in large garden. I have a 9 year old daughter who has grown up around dogs. I no longer have any animals of my own after we lost our boarder collie suddenly last year, we have since decided to provide a safe haven for others.

“I would highly recommend Ela, we were very nervous as Oakley hasn’t stayed with anyone else before but she made us feel so at ease and made such a fuss of Oakley when we first met. He absolutely loved his time with Ela and we had regular updates about what he was getting up to. I will definitely be booking again!”


About: We have fostered many many animals for the blue cross, owned cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, reptiles etc. We absolutely adore all animals so your fur baby will be in good hands! We have experience with small dogs , we have had chugs and jackuauas etc. ***PLEASE NOTE: my calendar is adjusted for adult cats as we can board adult cats all year round. ***Dogs and kittens are subject to availability as I work every other weekend so please enquire as to whether there is availability before booking 😁 thank you I currently work part time 3 days a week (every other weekend included) but on all weekdays and every other weekend there will be someone in our home to play with and give love to your furry friends! They will get lots of stimulation while they are with us. We have boarded cats for friends and family before on many occasions. We can take care of cats all year round and small dogs subject to availability due to work commitments. We have no cat flap so all cats are safely kept indoors. Our house has plenty of room to play, cat scratchers and toys etc. Our resident cat Ted is super friendly and enjoys the extra company. For dogs we have lots of fields and parks nearby to go for lovely long walks and I also drive so we can take them to some beautiful places further afield. We have a garden out back for toilet breaks which will be fully supervised to ensure safety of all dogs.

“Phoebe and Jack were fantastic. We very rarely leave our dog Mika with anyone, but Phoebes communication was great and we were so happy to pick up a happy dog from our night out. We would not hesitate in recommending them and would happily leave Mika with them again - lovely people!”

“Tanya was great with our daschund Leo. He clearly had a happy time there. Easy going - keeps you informed and has a good feel with dogs. Will definitely use her again next time in Devon”


“Hayley and her family were absolutely amazing with Missy and we couldn’t have asked for better care takers for her while we were away. Hayley kept me updated and sent pictures while we were away which gave great peace of mind. Missy was unsettled at times during the stay and Hayley and her husband went above and beyond to settle her and make sure she was happy. We are all so grateful for how well Missy was taken care of and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“Mark was absolutely fantastic in looking after our pug BB. We had a meet and greet in which Mark instantly formed a bond with BB. BB stayed with Mark for 5 days in which BB had such a great time! Mark kept us updated about BB all the time. We had excellent communications from Mark.Would definitely book again and again. Thank you, Mark!”


“Our Penelope had an absolutely wonderful time with Julie! She’s a rather particular little sighthound, and over the years we’ve found it tricky to find the right person to care for her. From the moment we met Julie, our worries melted away, it was clear she truly understands and loves the breed. We couldn’t be happier, and we’ll definitely be booking again.”



About: I've spend all my life with animals and I can't imagine life without them. I own 9 year old chocolate lab, 11 and 2 year old cat. We are one big happy family. I'm working part-time from home, so I'm always in and living in a bungalow allows we to sit in the garden and work being surrounded by my own pets. My bungalow is secure with fence and garden is decided into 3 levels. Plenty space in quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, no busy roads and options for long beautiful walks nearby.

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.

About: I have had dogs since I was little. I have looked after and walked people’s dogs since I was 17 and I love bonding with different breeds and ages of dogs. Every dog I have had has been a rescue and in the future I hope to become a foster for all types of animals. I’m free every Monday and Tuesday mornings. For the rest of the week I’m free all day so any time will do if your dog needs walking. I have a lovely flat that has 3 rooms. Although I am not looking to look after any dogs in my own home but I am more than happy to walk them.
