“Sophie was really great again with Charlie! She’s completely trustworthy and gives our pup her full attention. We love that we are updated with how he’s doing throughout the stay.”


“Aneta looked after our dogs for the first time at the weekend, they warmed to her instantly and she took time to understand what our dogs liked/disliked. We’ve rebooked Aneta for a week or so in September and we feel happy and comfortable knowing our dogs are in good hands.”


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: I have worked with all manner of dogs from Pomeranians to military working Malinois. I can help with training inside the home and out, for all members of your family. 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. My day starts with exercising and feeding our resident dogs. Evenings and weekends can be set aside for helping you meet your pets needs I live on a family farm which is no longer farmed. I have 4 permanent dogs in the household. With lots of space for exercising and training on site. I have an indate UK NSV that can be viewed upon request. I love to help dogs fulfil their natural drives, and I'm more thank happy to continue your training requirements whilst exercising your dogs. A fulfilled dog is a confident and happy dog. I will be taking care of your pet during our time together though they may meet other members of my family.

About: I have grown up with dogs, hamsters, rabbits and cats. I have moved out and have a dog of my own who is a 2 1/2 year old German Shepard x Doberman, I've had her since a 7 week old puppy. We love going out for long walks and being social in the dog park. I have good experience with big dogs, and highly active dogs, as my family dog was a border collie who didn't ever want to stop. Alongside this I love all other animals, my sisters always had a wide range of reptiles and I've enjoyed meeting and greeting her latest addition. I feel like as long as I'm with any type of animal I'm happy, if that's long dog walks outside or just a bit of attention on the sofa. All animals deserve to be treated like family and I can assure you, if you chose me to help out with your pet, I'll treat it like my own and with love and care I work 4 days a week, I have Saturday to Monday off and I love spending to with my dog, doing dog walks and being outside. I have a fenced off garden where my dog and your pet will be allowed to go outside, I take them for a morning walk, and evening walk, and they are let outside multiple times throughout the day. They get lots of cuddles and care. My dog gets fed in the morning and the evening, and a few treats whilst out on the walks.

“Our puppy has separation anxiety, but Chloe was there to look after her and our puppy took to her. We appreciated the updates in photos. We would recommend Chloe to anyone who needs dog-sitting :)”

“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: I have a relaxed and friendly approach. I am very responsible and reliable. I always enjoy the company of cats and dogs and taking care of them is a real privilege. I fostered cats for over a year, as soon as lost my 17 years old cat Buffy and then I finished when I adopted my ginger cat Bella. It was a great experience and I enjoyed working along with the charity. I am based in Brixham and happy to travel depending on the service required. I am self employed and I get really busy during the summer months, the other part of the year and I have plenty of time to help others and take care of the furry friends. I cover for a friend of mine who is a dog walker and I already know the dogs and they know me. I cover for 3 weeks, twice a year. it all depends in how the owners would like to me to do it. I would look after their pets as they were mine, not doubts about it.

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 previous experience owning and or working with all the animals above. :) I am currently a stay at home mam, along side completing my degree.

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.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for as long as I can remember! I truly believe a house isn’t a home without a dog! I’m flexible and love all dogs, from the babies to our golden oldies.

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.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calming companionship, or sticking to a familiar routine, I provide care that keeps tails wagging and paws happy. I’m experienced with all breeds, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities—because they’re family! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I love dedicating time to ensuring pets feel happy and comfortable. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I fit pet care seamlessly into my schedule. 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. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I create a loving and safe atmosphere where pets feel right at home.
