“Vicky is amazing with my little pup! Benji stays with Vicki 3 times a week so he’s not on his own so much and he absolutely loves it!!! She sends pictures throughout the day to keep your mind and ease and just overall provides the best service!! I 100% recommend to everyone 🥰🥰”


“Loki had a lovely time with Anindita. We needed some short notice care for our boy and Anindita was very responsive and happy to help. He also has some additional care needs due to his history in a neglectful home and she was great with him. Very friendly, loving person and would highly recommend her for anyone’s furry friend.”


“Jacqui is amazing with my cockapoo! She has tons of experience and is very patient. My dog is very excited when he arrives at her house and always comes home exhausted! I can always trust that he is in safe hands. Can't recommend Jacqui and her expertise enough!”

“Tanya was fantastic with our Frenchie puppy Morris. We were a bit nervous to leave him as he'd never really been to daycare, but Tanya was really communicative and reassuring. Morris had a great time and came home exhausted, and when we took him back the next day he couldn't wait to go in and was so excited to see her. Tanya's love of and skill with dogs is clear, we'll definitely be back!”


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.

“A regular here. My boys are so comfortable around Alison now that Kai, my 'aloof Shiba Inu with attitude', let Alison rub his tummy for the first time today, and they weren't in a hurry to come home with me! 😆 Thank you, Alison. Till next time! X”



“5 stars! Bridget and Nick along with their adorable pup Presley made Stanley's stay a great one. Stanley was immediately comfortable with them and their beautiful home, and the enclosed yard is a major bonus! I enjoyed the text updates and pictures they sent to me, but mostly the level of comfort I have leaving my precious buddy in someone else's care!”


About: I have always found animals easier than humans, and have had a special affinity with both my own, and other people's pets. I started young, walking elderly neighbours' dogs at the age of 10, housesitting for relatives with pets in my late teens, and I have also volunteered at an animal rescue and voluntarily dog walk for The Cinnamon Trust. I currently have two dogs, one cat, one green-cheeked conure, a crested gecko, and a corn snake. Previously we have also had rats, mice, a giant land snail, and fish (tropical and cold water!). I am currently studying the Trust Technique, which aims to foster a more natural, less analytical bond with animals. I am also studying in Pet First Aid, Pet Care, and Animal Law, to ensure that aside from being an animal lover a heart, we can also be assured that should anything unexpected happen, I know exactly what to do. I work from home, on a part-time basis. For this reason, I can be super flexible for any of the services you may need, whether that is an arranged walk, popping in to see pets at you home if you are away, house sitting in your own home, or potentially boarding your pups at my own house! It is key to ensure that your pets' routine stays as similar as possible to the normal day to day. I have two small dogs that love to play should your dog feel like it, but we can easily make sure they all have their own space if needed. In your home, I would treat your pet exactly as you would. We have a fenced garden, great walks from the front door, and some of the best beaches and countryside walks around!

About: Hi there! I'm a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and toilet breaks throughout the day. I share my home with a sweet 11-year-old Border Terrier, who's gentle, friendly, and used to being around other dogs. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a slower pace, I am happy to match their vibe. I treat all pets like family and aim to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home so I am very flexible with walks and toilet breaks! I can be here to keep your dog company all day long. I have a fenced garden so there is plenty of space for your dog! We live near the coast and can take your dog for a lovely beach walk! They will also have lots of company from our furry doggy Betty too.

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.

“Archie (my dog) had a fabulous time with Dave and Stacey. They were very accommodating with times and certainly knackered him out! Would highly recommend and can’t thank them enough!”


“Susan took great care of our Beagle Ronnie while we went out for dinner. She was really friendly and welcoming, and very kindly offered to look after Ronnie beyond the agreed pick up time if we needed. I couldn’t recommend Susan enough and will definitely book her again in future!”


About: Hi, I’m Freya, a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own pups, including a cockapoo and goldendoodle I raised from puppies. I recently returned to the UK after living in the USA, where I sadly had to leave my beloved goldendoodle with my ex-partner after we separated. Now back home, I’m really missing the daily joy of having a dog in my life and would love to share my love, care, and cuddles with yours. I specialise in caring for doodle breeds and hypoallergenic dogs, as I’m unfortunately allergic to most shedding breeds. I understand doodles’ unique temperaments and grooming needs, and I’m more than happy to follow your routines to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. Your dog will be treated like family. I’m big on giving plenty of attention and play time, and I know how much it means to stay connected while you're away - so expect lots of photo and video updates! I have a car and love exploring, so your dog will enjoy weekend adventures to the moors or beach (I’ll bathe them if they get muddy!). I also regularly walk with friends and their dogs to keep things social and fun. Having been a frequent traveller myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Whether it’s for a weekend or a longer stay, your pup will be in loving, experienced hands. Let’s chat, I’d love to meet you and your pup! I run my own business and work from home in a quiet village surrounded by fields and footpaths perfect for daily walks and fresh air. I live alone and love being outdoors to stay active, so having a furry companion by my side is the best motivation! Your dog would have company throughout the day, as I’m home most of the time and rarely away for long. They'll get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship as part of my everyday routine. I have a fenced yard making quick toilet breaks very easy. I live on a country lane and one minute walk from a playing field and river, so short walks and plays are also easy in addition to longer walks.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for my own wonderful dog for 13 years. I know just how much a dog is part of the family – and that’s exactly how I’ll treat any dog I am looking after. I offer a safe, loving, and homely environment where your dog will feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, chats in the kitchen (yes, I talk to them!), or tail-wagging walks, your dog will get plenty of attention and affection. 🐶 Daily walks 🏖 Trips to the beach (if they enjoy it!) 🛁 Happy to give them a bath 🛋 Treated like one of the family A dog’s routine and happiness would be my priority. I work part time and choose the days I work so am available most of the time. I drive and am happy to go to the moors or the beach. I have a fenced rear garden and no children in the house. Non smoker. Love to include the dog in all aspects of daily life.

“Bramble went in with her tail wagging and came out looking happy and exhausted, ready to go home. She is a high energy dog and appears to have loved spending the day playing with Mia's dog and having an awesome walk with her new friend. Mia sent lots of photos throughout the day and chatted to me lots prior to the day as I was anxious about leaving Bramble, but she did a great job putting my worries to rest. Overall a great experience for Bramble and we were able to leave her with the peace of mind that we knew she was safe and having fun. Will definitely leave her with Mia again if we are in the area and need a sitter :)”


About: I grew up in a house full of dogs with my nan offering a doggy day care and short stay pet sitting. Have owned a mixture of dogs ranging from jack russels to a leonburger. Have worked with toy and working dogs. Worked on a farm working with collie puppies from birth to sale so experienced with all ages of dogs. And recently assisted the birth and early care of a Dachshund litter. I am caring and patient with a huge passion for animals, currently studying Equine Science. Currently have an open schedule and can work around owners needs. I have my own transport and am able to look after other pets inc, snakes, small animals and horses. Have previous experience owning and or working with all the animals above. :) I am currently a stay at home mam, along side completing my degree. I am able to be very flexible with timings to suit your needs. I currently only have my male dog living with me as me and my partner live separately. He is very friendly with all dogs and children. My Nan still offers doggy day care and regularly has my dog for me if I’m away. Therefore if your dog is unsure of other dogs I can also facilitate their needs.

“I left my 5month old puppy Louie with Frances to attend a family funeral. She took excellent care of Louie and communication before the booking and throughout the booking was great! He was a very happy puppy spending time with Frances, and she provided the best care for him during the heatwave. She even had a toy for him waiting and he seemed to prefer it from his toys! That was such a nice touch to know that my puppy was in good hands. She was also very respectful of our puppy rule: our puppy is a dachshund breed and is forbidden to go up/down the stairs and has to be picked up in a certain way. Frances was happy to accommodate our needs. I will definitely make another book with her in the future!”


“Nova had a fabulous day with James, especially the other dogs that he was also looking after. He kept us well informed and sent photo up dates of how/what they were doing during the day. She was a bit sad when she had to go!! James was easy to liaise with and us being a little late back was no problem for him. We will definitely use his services again.”


About: I've had dogs in my life since I was born, I've trained puppies and Ive also pet sat for friends and families. I love taking dogs for a walk along the beach and chucking a stick for my new friends I currently work from home or outdoors at the weekends where the pooch could come with me.( They would get plenty of walks & lots of attention. I have a very large garden that backs on to a huge field, I have no other dogs but there is a cat next door that's used to dogs but keeps away from everyone.

Freya is also one of the most trustworthy and detail oriented people I know.

Her house is pet-safe, clean, and calm an ideal environment for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Plus, she lives near beautiful walking routes, perfect for daily strolls and exercise. Most importantly, she has a genuine love for animals and a nurturing nature that dogs instantly respond to. Any dog in her care will be showered with affection, attention, and all the comforts of a loving home. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, Julie is the one.”
