Pet Sitting in South Hams

“Joe has been excellent with Percy. He is a young spaniel, full of energy, but Joe was able to keep him calm and follow his instructions well. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have previously been employed as a dog walker and pet sitter for my local area through the company We Love Pets. I was trusted with walking up to 5 dogs a day, all independently so they got the care that was right for them. I am confident with all breeds regardless of how big or strong. I have also got experience in dog sitting, especially with nervous dogs. I have previously dog sitted for very nervous dogs who take a while to get used to a new person and have been able to earn their trust. I currently work around school term times. I work Monday to Friday and can house sit or dog walk at weekends. I will be off work completely from the end of July until the start of September. I am very aware of the different needs animals might have when being taken care of in their own home. I have previously worked with dogs that were escape artists so am aware of the need to keep them safe.

“Very happy with Leah. Helped to settle Lily to her new routine very quickly and Lily now really looks forward to her visits.”

About: My life has always been filled with the companionship of dogs and cats. In recent years, my remote work setup has allowed me to extend that care, looking after the beloved pets of friends and family whenever they go on holiday. With flexible availability, I am currently ready to provide attentive pet care around the clock. Whether your beloved companions need supervision during the day or comfortable overnight stays, I am available to ensure their well-being and your peace of mind. To ensure your furry companions remain happy and stress-free, I provide attentive care in their familiar surroundings. This approach helps minimize separation anxiety and keeps them feeling secure.

Dog walking and structured walks can be arranged, covering any areas you wish to improve. I am semi retired and as such have a lot of flexibility for meeting your pet care needs.

About: I have for a very long time now been the one most family and friends go to when needing a walker, sitter etc. From the months of April till October I reside in a beautiful location right by the sea. Which provides lovely woodland walks and fun on the beach! So at times whilst sitting I may wander back there with your four legged friend. I also have a way with cats and have regularly now for the past two years cat sat for friends away on holiday. I miss very much a beautiful cat who aged to the grand old age of 14, so am always up for looking after the feline type too. I've had experience with a variety of birds also. Looking after Peacocks, Ducks, Chicken and Geese! I have recently taken voluntary redundancy, to focus full time on pet and house sitting. Very flexible with own vehicle, happy to travel further afield. I am a shareholder of a piece of land in the South Hams, so there is plenty of room for exercise. I also have Pet Sitting Insurance. This covers Public Liability, Care, Custody and Control and lost key cover.

“Great communication with Charlie and fantastic with our newest pup. Would highly recommend and look forward to Charlie looking after our new cockapoo in the near future. Thanks!”

About: I’m known by many as an animal lover and have acquired extensive experience working with and looking after animals from work in veterinary practices to dog shelters. I’m a qualified veterinary physiotherapist, with the knowledge and expertise to understand your dogs needs, and provide expert care including any specific medical requirements. I have volunteered at rescue shelters abroad, often bonding most with the timid and anxious dogs and I understand the patience required to gain a dogs trust. I enjoy hanging out with dogs of all sorts and would be grateful to be in the company of your pet 😊 I work 10-2 at a school and so can fit in walks and dog care around this. During the school holidays I am much more flexible and can travel further distances in my campervan. When your dog is in my care I will always prioritise them and make time for plenty of walks, cuddles and company as required. I’m happy to follow any training and routines you have, I understand consistency is key especially with pups and rescue dogs. Happy to keep up crate training and general obedience training, and to walk dogs on/off lead as required. My dog is very friendly with others & loves to play but has good respect and boundaries with more timid dogs. However if your dog is not dog social, I can arrange for her to be looked after separately by my family.

“I came across this app by chance as was in need of help to pop on to see my little boy whilst I had to go to work. Myself and my partners rosters didn’t match on this occasion. I messaged Beth to arrange a meeting first hand before committing; she happily agreed to meet Mylo and brought him round some treats to gain his trust. I honestly couldn't praise this girl enough and within seconds of meeting her I knew I could trust her with my little boy. Beth was on time to each visit and sent me photos of Mylo whilst in her care. Beth I thank you so very much, I will definitely msg you again when I need your help In the future; you’ve made a forever friend in Mylo. ?”

About: We have both had dogs of many kinds since we were children. We have had our own dog, Merlin, a border collie for 2 years, he is very well trained and super friendly with people and other dogs. Merlin is not neutered but this has never been any kind of problem with other dogs. We take care of lots of other dogs from family and friends frequently, taking dogs on long walks on the moors or to the beach. Both of us work from home most of the time, and we will always have at least one of us at home to look after dogs during the day. We currently both work partly from home and work our schedules so that at least on of us is at home during the day to look after our own dog. Our dog gets 2 walks a day, one in the early morning (6.30/7) and a second in the afternoon (5/6) for around an hour each. We also take him for mini walks during the day. We have a securely fenced garden which can be accessed on request by the dogs. We have a securely fenced garden with plenty of space. In the summer we usually leave the back door open to allow our dog, Merlin to roam in and out at his leisure. My home office window looks out onto the garden so we can keep an eye on them. The inside is cosy with a sofa and room for a couple of dog beds and a crate if needed.

I’m flexible and available for regular visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, making sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In a pet owner’s home, I maintain their familiar routines, ensuring they feel secure and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medication needs, and always keep a watchful eye on their well-being.

About: Throughout my life I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a true lover of animals and naturally want to care, love and look after them. I am happy to help with any ongoing training requirements you are working on. I enjoy exploring new areas and will endeavour to find new, interesting walks for your dog(s). I am happy to run with them too if they need any extra exertion! I currently have a flexible work from home job in Kingsbridge so can adapt my day to help with your pets requirements. I also have my own dog Roxy who can join dog walks (by agreement) if your dog might like company. I will follow your instructions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of your dog at all times. My own dog freely has access to all areas in my own home, but sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen at night.

About: I've plenty of experience as a pet sitter and working as a volunteer at animal rescue sanctuaries. I grew up with cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and ducks and I had a deep love for pigs! I would often take care of the animals when my parents were away and walk my singing teacher's dog. I love to travel, often volunteering as I do, for example in India where I helped look after, feed and walk over 20 dogs, 10 cats and varying numbers of puppies and kittens as well as rehoming. I've been a registered cat sitter in the UK for 5 years and began housesitting last year which I absolutely love! I'm a musician and currently focusing on home recording which means I have my own flexible schedule and need lots of nice breaks to cuddle animals and go outside for walks! I'm attentive to details and making sure your pet feels as comfortable as they can in your absence. I'll follow your usual routine and be sure to keep your home clean and tidy.
