“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 have two adopted animals from rescue and one girl I’ve had from a puppy. My eldest has medication and specific washing requirements so I’m used to doing that. I drive so can facilitate vet appointments if needed as required. I work from home, so can work to suit schedules and be near animals as required. I have smaller dogs myself which we can separate if this is something your animal isn’t used to. Having animals myself I understand often complex needs and requirements and can adjust to fit various circumstances as needed. I can familiarise myself with any routine required, and happy to attend beforehand as needed to speak to the owner. I was previously an estate agent, so understand how to lock property safely and take care of the owners space and privacy. I would like to think I am reliable and trustworthy such that it can be one worry less during busy times in your schedule.

“Siâni took great care of Daisy and kept me updated, very reliable and honestly couldn’t ask for more, Daisy was in such great mood when we arrived so clearly had a blast ❤️ definitely will book again 🩷”

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!

“Our Rupert had a wonderful day with Rach, she was super considerate of understanding him and flexible to what we needed. Rach sent us photo updates throughout the day which was really reassuring for Rupert’s first day with a sitter! We definitely know who to return to in the future :)”

“Richard and Emma were amazing. Olly and Pluto were so chilled and enjoyed their trips out. We would definitely recommend Rich and Emma. They are lovely people and kept us up to date with photos and videos. The house was immaculate when we got home and we will definitely keep in touch.”

“George was a great comfort whilst looking after Cassie and Coral for us in our home. The dogs took to him immediately which always helps when you are leaving your dogs. When we came home, they were relaxed and seemed to have enjoyed their time with George. Highly recommended if you need someone to house sit with your fur baby.”

“Emma was wonderful with our dog Dora. She kept us up to date with photos and videos, plenty of walks and play time. Will 100% choose Emma again to look after our girl. And 100% recommend to anyone who is anxious about leaving their furry baby as Emma was amazing.”

About: Hi, I’m Abby, I'm 22 years old and love dogs!! I had many dogs growing up and was in charge of looking after them, but unfortunately I can't have any pets now due to my lifestyle. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I love going for walks with your furry friends - I live right next to a woodland area, which is perfect for going on walks. I am a full-time nurse, working 4 days/week, and my schedule does vary by the week, but the calendar will be updated regularly. I am a full-time nurse, so I spend 4 days/week working at the hospital, however when I am not on working, I am often available. I would love to spend my days off looking after your furry friends, walking them during the day and keeping them busy! I live in a home with a small enclosed garden. My home is right next to a large park/woodland area with many paths and routes to walk your dogs.

“I honestly couldn’t recommend Lawrence enough. He looked after our home and our dogs so well and left everything exactly as we left it. The regular photos and updates were lovely to receive and meant I could completely relax knowing they were in safe hands. He also earned extra brownie points before he’d even got through the door! One of our dogs spotted an opportunity to make a run for it and Lawrence was so quick on his feet that he caught him before he disappeared. It definitely saved me a lot of stress! It’s so reassuring finding someone who is reliable, caring and clearly loves animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Lawrence again. Thank you so much!”

“Mark did a fantastic job for us and Rusty. This was the first time we’d left Rusty with anyone outside of the family and so Mark made time to call round and get to know Rusty several times before we left. He did simple things like walk him round on the lead and have him hop in and out of the back of his car, so Rusty was comfortable with taking instruction from Mark. He discussed what we wanted in terms of general day to day care and activities, but in addition offered helpful advice and suggestions for furthering Rusty’s training and responsiveness? Rusty is a relatively young terrier, so still learning the ropes. Mark has years of experience with dogs and his advice and hands on approach has really helped us and the dog. Mark was also a great house sitter. We came back to a clean and tidy house and Mark was also kind enough to ensure there was milk in the fridge and a loaf of bread for breakfast. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Mark to look after Rusty again and would happily recommend Mark to anyone looking for day care or help with dog training.”

“As a first time for having someone other than family look after our dog Bailey, I was a little nervous/anxious about the whole thing. But from our first meeting to the end of the actual booking I have been so impressed by India, I honestly have nothing but praise and gratitude for her. Bailey absolutely loves her, India has a caring warmth about her which which radiates. We were away through the heat wave and India kept us fully updated, she even brought her own cooling mat to help Bailey whilst also conversing with us if there was anything we usually do to keep Bailey cool. We were sent photos and given updates and knew we could contact India if we had any cocerns. India left our home exactly how she found it and it was great to come home and not worry about cleaning or stripping beds as India had done it for the room she stayed in. We can not recommend India enough and would be more than happy to book her again if we manage to get away! Thank you India x”

“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: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.

“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.”

About: My husband and I have returned from a travelling trip and will be living with my mother in Spriddlestone, Devon until we get new full time roles. I work in corporate comms and he is a structural engineer. Growing up my mum had a dog home boarding business, so I have regularly been around dogs, I have also looked after many dogs for friends and family. My mum has also had 3 dogs for the past 10 years and Will also grew up with a family dog. We are hoping to get a dog of our own in the next few years once our schedules permit. We both work flexible hours. I am at home Wednesday and Fridays. Will can be more flexible however has to be in the office 3 days a week. We have a fenced garden with decking. We recently did this up. We live in a terraced road so this is enclosed from all sides.
