About: I spend my career taking care of loved pets, and I'd like to offer the same on my days off. I own a French bulldog who is basically my child - animals, especially dogs, have been my true love my whole life I try to include being around dogs as much as possible into my week (for my own sanity), I typically have Wednesday, Friday and Saturday off work so I'd love to help as many neighbours I do not accept dog boarding as I have my own dog who can be funny around certain breeds. However I life by the rule of dogs are family and mine certainly can share any space in my house to the highest standard and the most amount of cuddles

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.

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.

“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. ?”

“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: Hi! I'm Ruaridh(Rory), I'm 37 and I'm a homebody, which means I'm likely to spend most of my time indoors drawing/reading/playing with your beasties during house sits. I love walking and having a friend🐾 along makes walking better. I have my own car so traveling to distant/difficult parts of Cornwall and Devon is easy for me now. Like most pet sitters I adore animals & I've been around all kinds of pets all of my life. From bouncy boston terriers, to big loveable pibbles, and everything in between. We even had a red-eared terrapin for a while. In my family we treat animals as our companions and like family themselves, I will treat your animal(s) the way I would want mine to be treated and respect your word when it comes to the care of your companion because it's what I'd wish for myself and my own pets. 😊 Bonus round: I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I'm new in the area so I don't have any friends to invite over so no parties or visitors either! 😂 I'm available any day of the week because I'm a student and do not work a normal job, other than pet sitting. Basically I got time to spare, and you've got pets so let's do this! I'm happy and comfortable around most breeds of dog, or cat, and I'll always have the safety of your furry companion at the front of my mind. Whether that means being mindful of animals that are a flight-risk when opening the front door, or sitting out with your pets when they're in your fenced in back yard to make sure they’re safe . I'm also comfortable dog walking, and never take risks with my beasties so I certainly won't with yours!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from the very start, especially dogs and cats. My dad and stepmum had a busy and loving home with eight dogs—mostly rescues—and five cats, all of different breeds including Staffys, a Lurcher, Bulldog, Jack Russell, Sheepdog, Shar Pei, and a Border Terrier. It was a full house, but it taught me so much about animal care, behaviour, and the unique personalities each pet brings. Although my mum didn’t allow dogs at her house, I begged for years—until one day I was handed a puppy training book after school, and I knew something was up. Sure enough, I got home to meet my very first dog, who’s still going strong at nearly 16 years old. I’ve always had a deep love for animals—more than for people, if I’m honest—and I seem to click with every dog I meet. So you can rest assured your furry family member will be in kind, caring, and capable hands with me. As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a range of engaging and caring activities to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I provide regular walks tailored to your dog’s energy level, playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, and plenty of cuddle time for comfort and companionship. I also ensure they stick to their feeding schedule, administer any necessary medications, and can practice basic training commands if requested. Whether it’s a visit to a nearby dog park, a game of fetch in the yard, or simply relaxing together at home, I strive to make sure your dog feels loved and well-cared-for in your absence. I currently work full-time on a rotating shift pattern, but I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule with enough notice. If no changes are needed, my typical rota is as follows: Week 1 – I work 12-hour shifts on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, with Wednesday to Friday off. Week 2 – I’m off Monday and Tuesday, and work 12-hour shifts from Wednesday to Friday, with the weekend off. This routine allows for plenty of availability throughout the week, and I’m more than happy to make adjustments where possible to accommodate your pet care needs. I currently live on my own in a small, cosy flat that’s actually joined to my family’s house, so while I have my own space, there’s always someone around nearby. I don’t have any pets living with me at the moment—mine are with my parents—but I truly miss the company of animals. Any dog staying with me would be treated like part of the family and have full freedom to relax and enjoy the space. My flat is pet-friendly, and I live right next to a field, so toilet breaks and walks are quick and easy. Honestly, I think I’d enjoy the companionship just as much as they would!

About: I currently do dog walking and enjoy making sure our four legged fur freinds are well looked after as it’s paramount and I love it. I work during the day but I am looking to make pet sitting and dog walking my full time job. I am a fully qualified pet sitter and dog walker. Available any time, please contact me if you are interested. We have a fence in the garden and it is well maintained for health and safety, but also if I took the dog out I will be checking the environment is safe.

About: A true animal lover, I have had many myself since I was a child growing up on a farm in the mountains of Andorra: horse, cats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, cows, sheep...I was lucky enough to be able to take my dogs with me to study at Plymouth University- marine biology and oceanography. Therefore, your furry best friend will also have the chance to make new pawsome mates to spend time with and above all, never get bored. My two dogs are called Salsa (jack russell cross) and Billie Eilish (working cocker spaniel), both part time working dogs for pack Boar hunt, mountain goat finds and rabbit hunt. More about myself- I did several weeks of volunteering in a veterinary clinic which gave me the energy needed, skills and patience with sick or old animals. Gentle, jovial and energetic in nature, I would be delighted to enjoy the outdoors with your furry friend during various walks a day, to clean it, feed it and of course to give as much love and cuddles as necessary. Serious and dynamic, I listen to your needs and those of your animal so that he feels as good as possible in your absence and during his stay with me and my partner which lives home aswell. I live near the Hoe and I can travel around Plymouth or its surrounding areas having my car here I offer pick up and drop off services! I am a student at the University of Plymouth and study marine biology and oceanography which means a lot of time at the beach with the pups to fill in this notebooks! I propose long stay and short stay as i don’t go out and live with my fiancé who is also a doggo lover! As previously said, I live by the Hoe which means it is a quick walk to a nice open space for dogs to exercise which is like a garden to me as walks are around 3-4 times a day for my two gorgeous girls. I also do have a little garden on the back of the flat which is secure but small that i therefore don’t use. During bad weather I use sniffin’ games, play hide and seek and get my pups to learn new tricks which could do with yours aswell :) Usually on a basis nice day and weekend we go 3h to the moors or Plymbridge to play and evening rest and walkies around the park. Sundays we go to central park and have an amazing time chasing squirrels or playing fetch ! We also go biking or rest depending on the energy of the dog!

About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years, I walk a 45kg rescue dog weekly and have done so for 5 years, she is the best medicine to cure the mind and soul. A gentle giant who when rescued was terrified of people and other dogs. With practise and love she very quickly became a beautifully gentle and calm giant who loved cuddles and woodland walks. I have a miniature dachshund who is very sociable. My family have a total of 11 dogs, from Miniature Dachshunds to Border Collies, Rottweilers to Jack Russell's. They all meet up for regular walks so are well socialised with other dogs and people. I love nothing more then walking and caring for the fur babies and giving them a nurturing home. I have been a dog sitter and walker for family and friends for many years and would love to look after your pet/pets whether this be a walk, evening stay, socialising or just general care. Feel free to contact me to go through any questions you have. I work full time, Monday to Friday. So evenings and weekends work best for my schedule, however i am able to be flexible with my full time job so please contact me with your requirements and I'll be more than happy to accommodate if i can. I have a large fenced front garden and a large enclosed back garden. My miniature daschund lives with us, however if your dog needs to be alone i am able to have a family member look after her if this gives you peace of mind. Should you book me, please note you will be inundated with photos, videos when your pet is with me. I love sharing their happiness and of course i am sure you would love to see them! If you have any questions you can call or message me and i'll be happy to help.

About: I have grown up with dogs, hamsters, rabbits and cats. I have a dog of my own, a 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 love spending to with my dog, going for dog walks and being outside, I enjoy socialising with other pet owners and getting to know new animals. Your pet will be well looked after and have lots of attention and play when with me. 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.

“We booked Rebecca to look after our dog as we were going to be out for a prolonged period of time. She came over to the house the day before for a meet and greet and we could instantly tell she’s an animal lover and a natural with dogs. She was very friendly and professional, asking all the right questions. We booked a dog walk and then a sit in the house later on, and she went above and beyond to keep us updated with her movements and sent lots of photos and videos throughout. Our dog Herb had the most wonderful time and she was so tired and chilled when we got back after playing all day with her new friends (Rebecca’s two dogs that she met). We will most definitely be using Rebecca again and can’t recommend her enough.”
