“Brilliant. Evie was so happy with Harriet and her family. This was our first time dropping Evie at a pet sitter and we would definitely recommend Harriet and we will always use her now if we can! She was with Harriet for five days and she was so happy the entire time.”
“Ernie had such a great stay. They really cared for him and looked after him very well. I could tell he was very happy there. They sent lots of photo updates and were really flexible when I asked to extend the stay by an extra day. Thank you so much!”
“Very happy with Herbie’s care this evening. Herbie was very nervous when we arrived and I worried that he might not settle but Laura slowly won him around with her kind and gentle approach. When we went to collect him he was clearly happy and relaxed I really appreciated the photos that Laura sent through the evening which put my mind at rest. Thankyou Laura for a positive experience.”
“We were so grateful to find Tracie when we needed local help while in Cornwall for work. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time with her, and we really appreciated all the updates throughout. It was clear that our dog enjoyed all the fun and experiences she had during her stay. River (Tracie's dog) is such a lovely dog and we loved seeing them play and it was so nice for our dog to have a furry companion for a few days. Tracie’s communication was super clear, and we felt completely at ease knowing Annie was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Tracie! x”
“Conny has been simply amazing! She looked after our chocolate lab with such love and care whilst we were at a wedding - the first time we had left her with someone we hadn't met before. Conny sent us regular photos and updates that really put out minds at rest (she had a brilliant day with trips to the beach, playing in the sea) we couldn't have asked for more and we would recommend Conny to anyone looking for a home from home experience for their dogs. Thanks so much xx”
“I can’t recommend this dog boarding enough! From the moment I dropped off my pup, I felt complete peace of mind. The care, attention, and love given here go far beyond basic boarding—it truly feels like a second home. Updates and photos kept me reassured, and I could tell my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for.”
About: I have always had dogs in my Mothers home in Hastings. I have looked after family and friends dogs too. I have enjoyed training dogs- its so rewarding. I love walking in forests and on the nearby Par beach (5 Mins.) I keep away from traffic where possible. I miss our pet dog, Daisy of 16 years of age but I have fantastic memories & photos to cherish. Locally I have looked after 4 or 5 dogs over the last 2-3 years. I look forward to providing a home from home for your dog, with plenty of cuddles. FYI- There is a new Vetinary clinic 5 mins walk from my home, incase of emergency. I am 5 minutes walk from a dog friendly beach. I love to walk every day. I have several parks and public coastal paths to choose from. It's nice to have some snacks on hand as a reward (by agreement with your dogs requirements.) I live in a single storey detached bungalow with a rear garden, which has solid boundary walls - so escape proof. I will ensure that your dog is kept occupied, with toys and we will go on regular walks in the area, keeping away from traffic. I will feed your dog in accordance with your instructions. This will be a home from home, with lots of cuddles. Look forward to meeting you & your dog. I shall keep in regular contact during the stay.
About: I am a designer who works from home, after always having dogs I miss their company a lot. Instead of getting a dog I decided to host dogs in my house. I live in a cottage in St Austell, tucked away in a quiet part of this seaside town. I have a lovely big garden with sunshine and shade where they can play or potter about. The cottage is cool and quiet and has everything a doggy would need. Your dog will never be left alone as I work here too. I only take one dog at a time or dogs from the same household so they will have a really personal experience that will be tailored to them and their needs. There is a wealth of glorious beaches and river trails only minutes away for playtime, walks and relaxing. I try and make every day like a doggy holiday even if they are only staying a short time. I have owned dogs myself as well as having grown up with one always in the household. I had my last dog from a puppy and fully trained him, we did agility classes together too. I have also owned a rescue dog in the past who I worked closely with a trainer for to understand his body language and his needs so I do have experience with dog behaviour. I work from home during the week so your dog will have lots of 1:1 attention as I need to take regular breaks away from the screen. I always walk in the morning, lunchtime and the end of the day as a way to get outdoors and it’s such a treat to do that alongside a doggy friend. I can offer a pet free, smoke free house with a fenced in garden. Please do bring anything your dog likes along to make them comfortable, maybe a bed and some favourite toys for playtime
“Abi is an excellent dog sitter. Both of our dogs adore her! They were so excited when she arrived to look after them for the weekend, it was wonderful to see. I had no concerns leaving them in her care, and revived regular pictures and updates; they had a fabulous time and I'm sure Abi will become a regular in their lives whenever we are away.”
“for zulu first time staying overnight and hearing that she bonded with all the family is amazing. Zulu truly loves coming to yours and spending time with all the family especially the spending time with the kids and making you all smile alot. She truly is spoilt when she there which is so lovely to see especially when i come and pick her up as this is what she gets a home. Thank you so much for the service and the update with photos and videos of zulu first time trying the car and the beach. You guys are truly outstanding and love the fact that you guys get to enjoy spending time with Zulu and enjoy her just like i do ❤️”
“Willow had a great stay with Michelle overnight whilst we were at Eden. I met Michelle for a virtual meet and greet before booking and knew immediately that Willow would be in great hands. We came back to a very happy doggy, and it was clear she’d been really well looked after and had a lovely stay. I’d definitely recommend Michelle and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again next time we're in the area 😊”
“Lucy and her family were amazing with my Nala, she was in contact a lot and sent me lots of lovely updates and pictures. It was the first time Nala has been away from me and my partner overnight and I'm pretty sure Nala wanted to stay and not come home 😂😂 thank you again Lucy and family ❤️ I'd 100% recommend and will book again if we go away again.”
“George was an amazing dog sitter! He was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. George kept me updated and treated my dog like his own. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking him again.”
“Rhiannon did a wonderful job looking after Milo for the weekend. She was very communicative and flexible with drop off times when I got caught up with work, and he had a great weekend! He returned happy and relaxed, having bonded with her cat, too. Thank you so much for looking after him!”
“Really glad we found Tammy! Lola made herself right at home as soon as we were inside their home, and Tammy and her husband really listened to Lola’s specific requirements, which made us feel at ease. We are so pleased and cannot wait for Lola to stay there again :). Highly recommend!”
“Kristina really incorporated my Rue right into her family pack. She's a rescue that is sometimes shy - Rue didn't want to leave when I picked her up (after a few day). Kristina sent lots of pictures and videos, took her to meet new friends on walks and in play parks. The pick up service is appreciated too. Rue will certainly be back. Thanks 👍🏼”
“Our dog took to Callan straight away and went to his door without looking back at us! On pick up 24 hours later - although happy to see us - she kept going back to his front door waiting to be let back in! We had photos sent while she was there, and updates. Would definitely use Callan again. We're from London and was attending a festival in Perranporth. We holiday in Cornwall a few times a year and now we have Callan, we can visit places where dogs aren't allowed which we've had to avoid previously.”

About: I've always been a cat lover and had cats on my own. Currently I have Tiny, pictured in my profile pic who I brought back from Vietnam! I've pet sat for a number of people in Cornwall who so far have also had chickens, pygmy goats, fish, dogs and ducks. I've also been a live in dog walker in Switzerland with work away. So far this has been though word of mouth and now I'm looking to do it even more as I love it! A bit more about me: In my usual day to day I am working on my DIY tiny home project near Wadebridge and working as a wildlife/ permaculture gardening. If you need me to step in so you can go exploring then I'd love to help!
“Thea was great with our two indoor cats. They can be a bit shy with strangers, but were very happy and contented. So we had real peace of mind, enjoying our holiday whilst knowing that all was well at home. She is very helpful and friendly and kept everything nice for the handover to our guests.”
“Abi was really great. She kindly popped over to meet Fremmy and Mowgli before her first lunch visit and I could tell straight away that she was a kind and professional person with a real love of animals.”
About: I have had several pets from childhood right through to adulthood. I currently have a black lab called Loki who is 8 years old and loves carrots 🤭 I am currently working full time but am available on Tuesday afternoons from 2:30-4:30 and weekends. Looking for 1-2 hour walks with fury friends! I am flexible and willing to travel around the st austell area on a Tuesday and Bodmin/ st austell on weekends :) I am very trustworthy and reliable. If you require drop in’s, I am more than happy to stay with your pet for a set amount of time to keep them company :)
“I would give Emily 10 stars if I could! We had to leave our two cats for two weeks and Emily was absolutely the perfect choice! We have a very extroverted cat and one who panics and had stress induced paralysis at meeting strangers from abuse in her early life and from day one Emily was somehow able to bond with both of our girls. She took pictures, videos and gave detailed accounts of all of her visits, she put a smile on our faces every time we heard from her! Our anxious cat seemed to absolutely love Emily, she let her give her a stroke and came out multiple times when Emily got there, our extroverted cat was the exact same and loved her visits! We asked Emily if she could do an extra day after we booked which was incredibly last minute and marked unavailable on her schedule, and despite leaving for Paris the same day, Emily still came and visited our girls to make sure they were okay! Em carried out everything we asked of her and went above and beyond on many occasions, even using some of her own rubbish bags for emptying the litter as we had run out of them ourselves. We will 1000% be asking Emily for her services again if we have to leave for a while! We were so worried about leaving the girls as we had never been away longer than two days before but as soon as Emily followed up with us after her visit we knew we had made the right choice and we had absolutely zero stress during our time away. If anybody is in the same position as us and you’re worried about choosing the right person to take care of your fur babies, Emily should absolutely be your first choice! A massive Thankyou again to you Emily! You are an absolute star 💗⭐”
About: I've owned Cats since I was 3 years old. We have Fostered with the RSPCA and have experience whelping litters, administering Medication and providing the best care and company! We have our own Cat 'Grey Girl', she is a Russian Blue Ragdoll.
About: Family cats and cat sitting has taught me to love the unique way of cats. I love to make sure they are looked after and have enough attention depending on their preferences! I have 2 cats of my own currently.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong cat lover with a heart that’s always been full of feline affection. Growing up, my mum’s house was always buzzing with the playful purrs and mischief of her cats, and that’s where I learned the magic of caring for them. I’ve had the joy of looking after litters of kittens—helping rehome them to warm, loving families—and I still love visiting them whenever I can. By day, I work in a hotel where I thrive on meeting new people and handling busy schedules, and by night (and whenever possible) I’m studying for my Music Masters. Even with all the hustle, nothing compares to the simple joy of spending time with cats. I truly miss the cozy presence of my mum’s cats at home, and I’m excited to bring that same love, attention, and care to your furry friend!
“I highly recommend George. He took care of our dog in a very reliable and careful way. Our dog got along very well with his two spaniels right away. He spent a lot of time outdoors with our dog. His dedication was exemplary. Communication with him was quick and smooth.”
About: I have a real love for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I recently adopted a rescue cat, and it has been a lovely experience helping him settle into a new home. He is now doing really well, feeling more confident, and has even started going outside. This experience has taught me how important patience, calm energy and consistency are, especially with cats who may be shy, nervous or adjusting to change. I always respect a cat’s space and never force interaction. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter trays, playtime, cuddles if the cat wants them, and photo updates for owners.
About: I moved to Cornwall for university and soon found the passion for surfing. I now live in Cornwall and have been looking after dogs for several years now. Moving to Cornwall on my own has made me very independent, but also very flexible. Which means pet care fits easily into my day to day routine. I have a few small jobs that I can schedule around the dog sitting, so I'm able to give pets plenty of time and attention. I thrive on having a routine and living an active, healthy lifestyle. When looking after pets. I understand how important routine is, including regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, especially as different breeds have different needs. With my active lifestyle, i genuinely enjoy walks, runs, and spending time outdoors, so keeping dogs happy and exercised comes naturally to me. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I'm always respectful, tidy and minimal, making sure everything is kept just as the owners expect.
About: As a passionate animal enthusiast, I’m dedicated to giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. Living and working in the heart of Cornwall, I’m lucky to be surrounded by stunning beaches, countryside, and trails — the perfect setting for enriching dog walks and outdoor adventures. I provide professional, compassionate care with a focus on your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I never do pack walks, ensuring a calm and enjoyable experience tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies, anxious dogs, or senior pets needing gentle care, I adapt each walk or visit accordingly. As your local dog walker, sitter, and boarder, I offer flexible and personalised services including: • One-to-one or small group dog walks • Home boarding in a safe, loving environment • Pet sitting and pop-in visits for all animals I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and trained in pet first aid — giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. I also love meeting new pets and their owners to create a custom care plan that fits perfectly with your routine. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your pet’s day a little brighter! Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine — not just a job, but a lifestyle I truly love. Each day is planned around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that’s morning walks along the Cornish coast, midday pop-in visits, or evening cuddles for pets staying with me overnight. I build my schedule with plenty of time and flexibility to give every animal my full attention and care. No two days are the same, which is what I enjoy most. From active dogs needing long countryside walks, to older pets who prefer a slower pace and some quiet companionship, I make sure each pet gets the right level of care, stimulation, and love. Weekly, I also spend time checking in with pet owners, updating care plans, and continuing my learning in animal behaviour and first aid. Being fully committed to this work means pets are never an afterthought — they’re at the heart of how I organise my life. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, safety, comfort, and trust are at the heart of everything I do. In My Home: I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets feel like part of the family. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress — from feeding and sleeping schedules to playtime and quiet moments. My home is pet-safe, with secure outdoor space, and I only board a small number of animals at once to ensure individual attention and a peaceful atmosphere. I also carry out careful meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure each pet is a good fit for the home environment. In the Pet Owner’s Home: When visiting or staying in a pet’s own home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I stick to the owner’s instructions closely, ensuring pets feel safe and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I always take time to build trust with the animals I care for, using gentle, positive approaches to make each interaction reassuring and enjoyable. In both settings, I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and trained in pet first aid. I keep open communication with pet owners through regular updates, photos, and check-ins — so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away.
“Richard was great. It was our first time leaving our puppy for a few hours as we had an unavoidable clash. He sent me lots of photos of her and let me know she was fine and happy. Very easy and straightforward communication.”
About: My family has always owned dogs so I have a lifetime of personal experience. I volunteered and multiple animal sanctuaries and zoos growing up and I worked for pets at home for more than three years where i specialized in dog care. I am available most days and weekends for any bookings and will normally be happy to take bookings on short notice. The safety of the pets come first and for that reason I would make sure to supervise them and if in the garden make sure its enclosed and has no open gates. I work part time and have a very flexible daily schedule. The best thing to do is contact me with the dates and times you require and I will do my best to accommodate. The safety of your pets is my top priority, on our walks I like to keep them on the lead untill in certain they will listen to commands from me.
About: From growing up with cats throughout my whole life, I have learnt to take care of them in all aspects from comforting shy cats to playing with boisterous ones. I have experience administering medications, sorting litter trays, and bathing and grooming them.
“Nicole is lovely. We had photos, videos and updates sent to us during her overnight stay. We had never used a cat sitter before but would highly recommend Nicole and will definitely use her again”
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes my whole life, growing up I’ve always been keen to walk, feed, wash and care for them. I have most of my experience with boxers, French and English bulldog puppies from birth. I currently study at uni, so have lots of free time for short and longer walks, especially during holidays and weekends. I’m more than happy for any special arrangements you may need or a negotiable price to work for us both. I’m sure your dog will become comfortable and happy in my hands so you can feel safe and content with their care :) P.s much appreciated if I am able to bring my partner for longer house sits (of course we can meet prior) I’m currently studying geography at uni but have lots of availability around my schedule to walk or provide pet care, plus, my car for longer adventures! Although i am at uni and cannot care for your pet in my home, I can walk and pet sit in your own home in however ways you require

“An absolute 5-star experience! Having recently moved to the Bodmin area, it was incredibly daunting to look for a new sitter for our beloved and pampered dog, Barley. However, meeting Terry and Susan (Megan's parents) beforehand completely put our minds at ease as they would be looking after him on the day. Barley spent the day with them yesterday whilst we attended our daughter's graduation in Exeter, and we could not have asked for better care. They looked after him brilliantly, treated him like one of the family, and sent us lovely picture updates which we really appreciated. Terry and Susan made us feel so comfortable and reassured from start to finish. Barley loved his cuddles with Terry (The Dog Whisperer). We are incredibly grateful to have found such caring, trustworthy sitters locally and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We booked Laura to look after our dog Brian for the day whilst we visited the Eden Project for the day whilst on holiday. Brian had a wonderful day with Laura, she provided a calm, settled environment for him. I would definitely recommend Laura.”
“Esther and her family were lovely and Suzie had a great time. Suzie was made to feel at home and had a lovely long walk. Very convenient for visiting the Eden project! Would book again if we are ever in the area again.”
“Kristina was brilliant - kindly looking after Sheila while she was on heat (and not taking any other bookings as a result). Kristina sent through photos of Sheila enjoying her day walking with some other dogs and having some well earned rest at Kristina’s house. I felt very comfortable leaving Sheila with Kristina - she is very knowledgable and kind.”
“Gus has had a wonderful time with Louise and her partner we can't thank her enough! When we collected Gus he seemed really calm and responsive like he's been on his own little retreat from his family. Louise communicated really well and let me no everything that Gus was getting up to including finding out about Gus's needs.”
“Richard and Ringo were a fantastic company for my Bertie. Richard regularly sent pictures and messages to make sure I wasn't worried. Ringo is a very happy beautiful spaniel, Bertie made a real friend. Will be booking Richard and Ringo again, on a regular basis.”
“Abigail has been amazing with our 2 dogs. Ella is people reactive in the home and Abigail spent time getting to know her and making her feel safe. They are now the best of friends and I feel so relaxed leaving them both with Abigail, knowing they are happy and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abigail to anyone.”
“Chelle was an absolute dream to have as a dog sitter - we got to do a virtual meet beforehand of the humans and dogs, I got updates, photos and videos throughout the day which was so reassuring and I came back to a very hapoy dog. Very clear that Chelle knows what she is doing and cares about the pups. Will definitely be looking to book in again when I'm down :D”
“Our dogs have had a lovely day with Connie. Excellent care and attention to ensure our dogs had a fun time. We really appreciate the photos throughout the day to show what they were doing. Thank you Connie.”
About: I trained me Sprocker Spaniel who is still a puppy. This involved basic commands and recall. He is well behaved, well socialised and a happy dog :) I run my own business so have good flexibility during the week and at weekends. I won't be out for more than 3 to 4 hours and I can walk, feed and socialise them inbetween. I will be there to look over them most of the day..I may leave for 3 to 4 hours but will make sure they've been walked and fed before so.

“Very happy overall, after not knowing this was such a thing and how easy it was to book someone we are glad we found Tammy, she was very helpful and helped look after our boy whilst we went and visited St Ives and paradise park for the day as it’s a hot day we definitely didn’t want to leave him on he’s own! It was a very last minute booking after finding it on Google but I highly recommend for your doggy! Will definitely be using her again when I come this way! Once again lovely thank you so much! Much appreciated.”
“Was down in Newquay for a SUP Surf camp and as weather pretty warm wanted a dog sitter for during the day. Luckily Harriet was free, Agatha loved her time there, (was whining with excitement on the 2nd day as we turned down to the house). Harriet was flexible on the timings, when I ran a bit later than planned the 2nd day. Agatha had a good walk along with a chill on the sofa, would highly recommend and use again if I’m down in Newquay.”
“From pre stay to during and post daycare Mark and Fee were amazing, putting my mind at rest, with great f communicatiin, offer of updates during the day and time to chat on pick up. Nelson was settled from the get go. Great facilities too”
“We went camping in Cornwall and needed Bailey to be with someone for a day whilst we explored some of the sights which didn’t allow dogs. Lerryn was the perfect choice. She looked after Bailey so well, giving him cool walks by a waterfall and friendly experience in a cafe. He had the best time whilst we had our best time. Thank you!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’d walk neighbours dogs growing up which gave me a strong understanding of their different personalities, needs and behaviours from an early age. In addition I’ve spend 5 years caring for exotic animals which has taught me patience, attention to detail and confidence handling a variety of temperaments. I am a proud Cavapoo owner which has deepened my understanding of daily routines, training consistency, exercise needs and the importance of trust and companionship. As a dog walker, I bring reliability, compassion and genuine enthusiasm to every walk. Whether your pup loves energetic adventures or prefers a steady, relaxed stroll, I tailor each walk to suit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing are always my top priority, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I work full time, but I make dog care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available mornings and evenings during the week for walks, feeding, playtime and lots of love and attention. I also have the flexibility to WFH throughout the week when needed, which can absolutely be discussed prior to booking. On weekends I’m fully flexible and happy to dedicate extra time for longer walks, outings, cuddles or special care routines. Your dog’s comfort, happiness and consistency are always my top priority and I’m committed to providing a safe loving environment. I’m lucky to have a good sized garden that is fully gated and securely fenced, providing a safe space for dog’s to enjoy fresh air and outdoor time. It’s perfect for supervised play, short exercise sessions, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. Safety is always my priority so dogs are never left unattended outside and I make sure the space stays clean and secure at all times.
About: I have taken care dogs since I was 14, training guide dogs, including the family dog and voluntary work which led to paid work at a dog kennel walking dogs and cleaning kennels. I have been dogsitting on and off for 16 years and rescued 3 dogs. I have done more regular sits since a friend from church asked me to dog sit, then I used Trustedhousitters as a sitter for 3 years and have done 12 different successful sits of which a few have been asked back, so I also know how to take care of people’s homes and multiple pets in the home. Your dogs will be happy with me and treated like family, they will have play time and rest time and I always stick to the rules that you have set for them and their meal times including what they eat. I would never feed your dog human food or over treat them or punish them. If I am sitting I would take them out for a walk in the local areas up to 3 times a day but they will have plenty of toilet breaks. If I am only walking your dog, I will keep them on the lead and go for as much time as they need. Your dog will be in safe hands with me. I am an at home full-time student, I start my last year in October and finish in May 2027. I will have time to go for dog walks anytime as I can pick my days and times to study. I cannot bring pets into my home currently as my 2 cats are the proud owners but I can meet you for a pick up or take care of a dog at your home

“Richard came across as kind and patient, which is just what Luna needs (being a rescue). Luna gets a walkies visit from Rich twice a week. Updates of Luna during the walk are frequent, where she's looking happy exploring the neighbourhood and catching up on dog gossip. Thanks Rich for the prompt and reliable service!”
About: I trained me Sprocker Spaniel who is still a puppy. This involved basic commands and recall. He is well behaved, well socialised and a happy dog :) I run my own business so have good flexibility during the week and at weekends. I won't be out for more than 3 to 4 hours and I can walk, feed and socialise them inbetween. I will be there to look over them most of the day..I may leave for 3 to 4 hours but will make sure they've been walked and fed before so.
“Kyal is awesome. He took the time to meet Albie (and me) before their walks together, showed up promptly (and let me know he’d arrived), sent pics of a very happy pooch, and I came home to a super content setter each day. What more could I ask for?! Thanks so much Kyal. Albie looks forward to seeing you again soon.”

About: Hi, I'm Bella. I have always loved dogs especially sight hounds and previously owned a whippet called Poppy. I enjoy nothing better than taking a dog for a long walk on the beach or through the woods, seeing them enjoying themselves and being sleepy and relaxed after a good run. I have previously looked after greyhounds, sausage dogs, Italian Greyhounds, Whippets, an Irish Wolfhound cross, Frenchie, Labrador Siberian Husky’s, Cockapoos and Cavapoos and understand all dogs and breeds have different needs & requirements to feel happy, safe, secure and loved. I love getting to know their individual personalities and understand that pets are like members of the family and treat them as I would my own dog with love, care and affection when in my care. I am able to keep pets company all day ensuring they get plenty of walks, toilet breaks and are well fed. If dogs are nervous or uncomfortable around other dogs I ensure that they are cared for one individual dog at a time. I ensure dogs are on leads unless I have guidance from their owner that they have good recall and are happy for them to be take off lead only in safe places. I can offer in home care in peoples homes or my own which has a large garden.
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.
“We have booked Sophie multiple times to walk our golden retriever Mavis. Sophie is always happy to help out with last minute requests and we trust her to let herself into the house to collect and drop off Mavis. Sophie is always on time and updates us with photos throughout the walk so we know Mavis to safe and happy. She is so easy to communicate with and is clearly experienced with dog care. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter.”
About: 🐾 I am a huge lover of all animals. I come with a lot of rescue and vouleentering stories; experience, knowledge, love, compassion and patience. I have grown up and been around lots of differant animals my entire life, so I have confidence to look after all large and small fury and none fury friends. I'm up for a cosy day relaxing with them or I can be outdoorsy and love to adventure so would love to take more paws to explore. 🐾 I currently have plenty of free time and would like to pour that energy into something I love, so I can be flexable any day of the week. 🐾 I am a clean, tidy and respectful person so you can trust that I will leave your home as I find it. I would give as much love and care as possible on my visits, sits and walks; they will get given lots of attention, treats, time to go outside aswell as play time while following any instructions or guidence you leave me to make them feel most relaxed and content in my care. I would enjoy meeting you and your pets before the drop in, walks or sits so we can get to know eachother a bit more and make everyone more comfortable 😊

Ensuring the garden is enclosed for example closed gate, but they also still have access to outside. Providing them spaces to relax and feel safe in your home.
“Lara is a very friendly walker who my dog really liked from the start. We chatted about Daphne’s needs and she listened and took in board what I said. She’s clear about what she can offer in terms of availability which I find so helpful.”

“Brilliant. Evie was so happy with Harriet and her family. This was our first time dropping Evie at a pet sitter and we would definitely recommend Harriet and we will always use her now if we can! She was with Harriet for five days and she was so happy the entire time.”
“We were so grateful to find Tracie when we needed local help while in Cornwall for work. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time with her, and we really appreciated all the updates throughout. It was clear that our dog enjoyed all the fun and experiences she had during her stay. River (Tracie's dog) is such a lovely dog and we loved seeing them play and it was so nice for our dog to have a furry companion for a few days. Tracie’s communication was super clear, and we felt completely at ease knowing Annie was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Tracie! x”
“Conny has been simply amazing! She looked after our chocolate lab with such love and care whilst we were at a wedding - the first time we had left her with someone we hadn't met before. Conny sent us regular photos and updates that really put out minds at rest (she had a brilliant day with trips to the beach, playing in the sea) we couldn't have asked for more and we would recommend Conny to anyone looking for a home from home experience for their dogs. Thanks so much xx”
“I can’t recommend this dog boarding enough! From the moment I dropped off my pup, I felt complete peace of mind. The care, attention, and love given here go far beyond basic boarding—it truly feels like a second home. Updates and photos kept me reassured, and I could tell my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for.”
“Abi is an excellent dog sitter. Both of our dogs adore her! They were so excited when she arrived to look after them for the weekend, it was wonderful to see. I had no concerns leaving them in her care, and revived regular pictures and updates; they had a fabulous time and I'm sure Abi will become a regular in their lives whenever we are away.”
“for zulu first time staying overnight and hearing that she bonded with all the family is amazing. Zulu truly loves coming to yours and spending time with all the family especially the spending time with the kids and making you all smile alot. She truly is spoilt when she there which is so lovely to see especially when i come and pick her up as this is what she gets a home. Thank you so much for the service and the update with photos and videos of zulu first time trying the car and the beach. You guys are truly outstanding and love the fact that you guys get to enjoy spending time with Zulu and enjoy her just like i do ❤️”
“Lucy and her family were amazing with my Nala, she was in contact a lot and sent me lots of lovely updates and pictures. It was the first time Nala has been away from me and my partner overnight and I'm pretty sure Nala wanted to stay and not come home 😂😂 thank you again Lucy and family ❤️ I'd 100% recommend and will book again if we go away again.”
“George was an amazing dog sitter! He was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. George kept me updated and treated my dog like his own. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking him again.”
“Rhiannon did a wonderful job looking after Milo for the weekend. She was very communicative and flexible with drop off times when I got caught up with work, and he had a great weekend! He returned happy and relaxed, having bonded with her cat, too. Thank you so much for looking after him!”
“Kristina really incorporated my Rue right into her family pack. She's a rescue that is sometimes shy - Rue didn't want to leave when I picked her up (after a few day). Kristina sent lots of pictures and videos, took her to meet new friends on walks and in play parks. The pick up service is appreciated too. Rue will certainly be back. Thanks 👍🏼”
“Our dog took to Callan straight away and went to his door without looking back at us! On pick up 24 hours later - although happy to see us - she kept going back to his front door waiting to be let back in! We had photos sent while she was there, and updates. Would definitely use Callan again. We're from London and was attending a festival in Perranporth. We holiday in Cornwall a few times a year and now we have Callan, we can visit places where dogs aren't allowed which we've had to avoid previously.”
