“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.”

About: I have a Collie and a Goldendoodle. I also had three cats and a senior Goldendoodle with arthritis. I have missed being with animals too much so here I am. I have 18 years experience working with animals and owned and ran a doggy day care and dog walking business for 7 years before selling up to relocate here. I am very fortunate that working with animals is my profession. That allows me to be very flexible and I can accommodate most requests with enough notice. I have a safe enclosed garden and the village I live in has a dedicated dog exercise field. I also live within 10 minutes of gorgeous beaches and forest walks.

About: I’ve grown up with various different animals all my life - from cats & dogs to rabbits, hamsters & guinea pigs! I’ve recently started dog walking and want to expand what I offer to include pet services. I currently work full time in a school so have availability evenings, weekends and school holidays.

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!

“Joe, did a great job looking after Rusty for us. He kept in touch via a WhatsApp link and it was obvious that Rusty felt very relaxed and happy in his company. Joe sorted out some good walks and flexed Rusty’s normal schedule so they were walking in the cool of the evening rather than the midday heat. Joe was also kind enough to keep plants watered whilst we were away. We’d happily ask Joe to sit for us again.”

About: 🐾 I’ve looked after dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds through pet sitting and walking services, and always focus on building trust, so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. 🦮 Before recently moving back to Plymouth, I spent 2 years pet sitting and dog walking for regular clients in Australia, and prior to that I volunteered at a local animal shelter for over 8 years, walking dogs with a wide range of temperaments and backgrounds. 🐾 I am a qualified health professional by trade so have passed regular DBS checks (I am currently taking a break from the day job, so I can give my full attention to pet sitting). My partner, Zach is also always around to help - we had a joint pet sitting account in Aus. He also has a full DBS & police check. 🐕‍🦺 Having grown up with an array of pets, I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. • I currently have plenty of availability for 1:1 pet care and would love to help out with your furry friend. Regular updates and communication with owners are guaranteed. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions! • I am home full time - so my day would be completely devoted to looking after your furry friend. They would be left at home for minimal time (no more than 1-2hrs) - only when popping to the shops etc. I have a fenced garden and a large house with a lane for walking dogs and a park nearby. I can drive, so I also love to take dogs out for a variety of different walks to different locations, including the beach. We have outdoor cats at home but they aren’t fussed by other animals.

“Natasha was very professional and personable. She took time to get to know our fur baby before we left her. She was kind, caring and patient with our dog who can be a bit difficult at times. Really understood the strain of leaving a loved family member with a stranger and made that as easy as it could be. She gave updates throughout our trip helping us to relax. The best recommendation I can give is that our fur baby really liked her and missed her when she left. We have no hesitation in recommending Natasha”

About: My experience with just dealing with pets is having my own animals from young. I've had fish, hamster, guinea pigs and dogs. My first dog was a rescued Boxer, Ruben. My first proper puppy was a Pug, Dexter, then we rescued Alfie another Pug at the same age as Dexter (around 4yrs.) My house sitting and pet experience was living in an annexe above my landladys garage. She had a working cocker, Zeva. She'd trust me with looking after her house and Zeva while she had to go away for work or on holiday. That was over 2yrs of me living there. I even took Zeva away with my boyfriend and I as we went to Bournemouth for a weekend I was looking after her. We got a pet friendly accomodation and she had the best time on the beach and in the sea playing with her ball. I work 3 days a week, so have plenty of time for sitting and walking pets. I like to walk daily, so dog walking is well suited with my lifestyle. I care for pets in an owners home by communicating with the owners in the first instance to see what responsibilities they expect of their sitter to make sure their animals are in perfect care.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own, who I’ve trained well and raised with patience and consistency. Through this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behaviour and feel confident handling dogs of all types and personalities. I truly love all dogs and believe they should always be treated with kindness, respect and plenty of affection. I’ve also supported neighbours by checking in on their dogs and friends have trusted me to dog sit in their homes. During those times, I’ve made sure each dog is well fed, exercised, and given lots of affection and love - just as I would my own. I take pride in creating a safe, happy and comfortable environment so both dogs and the owners feel at ease. I work a 9 to 5 schedule, which means I’m available for dog care in the early mornings, evenings and weekends. I can provide morning walks or check-in before Work and I’m fully available in the evenings for feeding, walks, playtime and giving your dog lots of attention. Weekends are flexible, so I can offer longer stays, extended Care, or more dedicated time with your dog. I’m organised and committed to making sure each dog’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and settled whilst you’re away. I provide Care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important it is to maintain dogs usual routine, so I make sure to follow their feeding schedule, walking routine and any specific care instructions closely. When caring for pets, I give them plenty of attention, playtime and affection as well as ensuring their wellfed, exercised and settled. I treat every dog as if they’re my own with kindness, patience, and care. I’ve been trusted by friends to dog sit in their homes and my neighbours to check in on their pets, so I’m respectful of both your Home and your pets needs. Please note that I don’t offer boarding at my own Home, but I’m happy to care for your dog in their familiar environment where they are happiest.

About: From looking after multiple dogs, house sitting and using rover to find my doggo Lennie a place to stay when I go away - Rover is brilliant! I have always had dogs, and trained Lennie along with some of his doggo friends. I would love to be able to care for more doggos! I have had multiple dogs stay before and had a great time. I currently have flexibility, whether that’s needing a house dog sitter or walks Monday - Sunday. Lennie can join for walks or I can walk your dog separately. Lennie also doesn’t have to come for overnight stays if preferred no other dog to be there. I am good at noticing dogs behaviours, and having Lennie the place is set up for dogs! All food far away from access, tons of water bowls and fenced garden. Lennie is very good with other dogs in the house, and if I noticed a doggo feeling anxious or unwell I would straight away notify and make sure they are as comfortable as they can be.

“Brilliant. Above and beyond.”

“First time I've ever left the dogs with anyone and I couldn't have chosen someone better. The girls had the best time, enjoyed walking and relaxing with David. I was kept up to date with photos too, which was lovely. Thank you. Will definitely be booking again.”

Erin B.

“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!”

“Hi Sam, thank you so much for looking after Maui yesterday! We just moved to new place so my golden is still very unsure of new places, but Maui loved Sam from the very first initial meeting! Sam sent me pictures throughout the day and Maui looked very happy and spoilt with cuddles! 100% recommend Sam and we will be reaching out soon!”

Klaudia K.

“Emma and Rich did a pet sit for us in our own home and was booked at very short notice. As you can imagine I was very worried about leaving my pets (and my home) in the hands of strangers especially my dog as he’s never been looked after out of the family. Emma and Rich did an amazing job at making me feel at ease with the whole situation. They kept me updated with photos whilst we were away and communicated well. The pets were looked after amazingly! I would definitly recommend and use again. Thanks again for saving the day and allowing us to go on holiday as a family and taking the stress out of the situation I was in when I contacted you 😊”
