“Olly had fantastic service. We had asked Olly to watch Abel very last minute. He was brilliant and adaptive. Abel had a fantastic time and we were sent pictures of Abel having fun throughout his stay, updates were all good and great to have those updates. I would absolutely highly recommend!”
“Samson spent a wonderful week with Ashley in her lovely home. She is calm, caring and attentive and sent me lots of photos of what they were up to. I am super happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend Ashley.”
About: My name is Rose and I run this account with my Boyfriend Jago :) We are both Marine biology students, and miss our dogs at home! I've spent the last 9 years looking after and training my own black Schnoodle at home, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes for friends and family. We are both confident with feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well looked after. My boyfriend and I both work part time, meaning someone is always around to ensure your furry friend is never alone! We are both very active (meaning lots of W.A.L.Ks) and are always spending time outdoors, adventuring to new spots when we can. My garden is fenced, meaning lots of space for sniffing outdoors and having fun. Also living in a safe neighbourhood, evening walks are no problem!
“Wow I was so impressed with Mads!! From the get go it was clear she was the right person to take care of my baby while I was away!! Lots of pertinent questions when we first met and great communication while I was away! Upon my return it was so clear that lady had the best time staying with her, with lots of walks and having fun on the beach! Mads is so friendly and great, clearly a massive dog lover and if I ever need to head away again she'll be my first choice 100% Thank you again for everything!!”
About: Hi, I'm Leo and I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I like to get out and about so I'm always walking my dog Bruce, he comes with me everywhere I go! I have experience caring for senior pets also and have a qualification in canine first aid. I understand that all dogs are different and need different breed specific stimulation to be happy and healthy and I will always try to weave some training in with all the playtime and walks! I'm currently available full-time with availability Mon-Fri and Saturday if required. I am able to be flexible to suit your requirements and meet the needs of your pet. I live in close proximity to woodland, open fields and enclosed paddocks. I also have access to an unfenced garden in my home. I have a 18 month old Sprocker Spaniel and an elderly cat at home to keep your best friend company.
“Conny has provided excellent care, once again, for my 7 year old collie. I love all the photos and messages she sends and feel totally confident that my dog is having as much fun and exercise, or more, than when she's at home. Thanks so much Connie.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life growing up and had 2 dogs in my adult life, both from puppies. I am used to being around high energy dogs that require a lot of attention and stimulation. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with behavioural issues. I have house trained many dogs overtime. I absolutely adore dogs and being in their company makes my heart happy! I work full time from home Monday- Friday with Friday afternoons off. I am available most weekends for dog boarding. My work is very relaxed so plenty of time to give your dog attention, toilet breaks and walks during my lunch breaks and after work. I live on my own in a 2 bedroom flat. I don’t have a garden but there is a shared communal garden for toilet breaks. I live a 3 minute walk from a beach and some other beautiful walks. I also drive and I’m happy to take your dog out and about on my travels. I often like to go to dog friendly cafes to read so your dog would be more than welcome to join me. I’m not worried about dogs being on my furniture etc, I want them to feel comfortable and welcome in my home. I’m happy to dog sit in your home as long as there is WiFi and a kettle for a cuppa!
“Clarrissa was the best dog sitter you could ask for! She made time to meet boe before we went away! She took her on 6km run! And she was amazing with boe’s behaviours, boe can be reactive to other dogs and Clarissa was amazing at adapting to this making sure boe kept safe at all times! She kept us updated all the time through photos and messages! YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER DOG SITTER 1000% WOULD RECOMMEND!!”
“I was so lucky and grateful to have found Sasha to look after meeko while I was at my daughters graduation. Meeko was truly taken in and was clearly made part of this lovely families life in the 3 days he was with them . Meeko was well cared for and had lots of attention. Sasha kept me informed how he was getting on throughout the day . I highly recommend Sasha 5 stars are not enough . I think meeko would have happily stayed there longer . Thank you Sasha again.”
About: We've always had rescue dogs, a bit on the nervous side but always super lovely, I've moved here for uni and would love to help out with dog walking or sitting. I've volunteered at dog rescue shelter and I've been helping people look after their dogs back in my home town of Falmouth ! Right now I'm studying at UvA with a flexible schedule to dog sit around! I also love cats and fostered a lovely cat last year, now I spend lots of time dog sitting my managers dog and helping my mum train her new foster dog! Now I'm not at University, I have a lot more free time and my only other commitment is part time working but I pick the hours so I can work around sitting/walking! I'm more than happy to do whatever the owner feels is best and safest for their pet as of course each dog is different and their needs will always vary, so whatever makes them feel most comfortable!
“A real home from home! Our nervous Cockerpoo totally settled in with Alison at her home. We were very apprehensive because our dog is very shy and clingy. But as soon as we picked her up we could see that she was totally relaxed and had a great holiday away. We’ll be booking more stays with Alison as soon as possible. Highly recommended.”
“Ella and her partner looked after my mini dachshund whilst I was visiting the area. They were fantastic with her, took her to the beach and sent lots of pictures. So happy I found them and would definitely recommend”
“Shaun was so patient with Luna. She’s an anxious dog, super attached to her family, so it was a new experience for her. It took her a while to warm up, but she seemed very happy and content once she’d settled in. Shaun was very professional and kept me updated through regular messages and photos. It was good to see her having fun while I was away. Thanks Shaun for taking the time to settle her in and make her feel at home.”
“I've found the perfect dog sitter! Lianne is both professional and friendly. She is clearly passionate and experienced with dogs, and her lovely home is ideal, being safe and comfortable. Albert and Ernie loved their stay with her, and Chloe the chilled resident dog. They got on like long term friends, and came back very relaxed and happy. I have no hesitation recommending Lianne to look after your loved ones, and will be a return customer for years to come.”
“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.”
“Another great experience with Tammy! So much so that I fear Hazel did not want to leave 🤣 this is the second time Tammy has looked after Hazel, the best part of the day is receiving the updates, how the day has went and photos as well 💕 first time Tammy looked after her was for maybe a few days, this time it was for 10 days, and I think that speaks volumes of how great Tammy is. Thank you again Tammy - enjoy your holiday! 💕”

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.

“Olly did a fantastic job of caring for our dog last weekend. You were super accommodating, kind and put my mind at ease. I knew my dog was in good hands as soon as we met. Extremely responsive and helpful on the messenger and kept me up to date with what Bonito was up to when you had him. I will definitely use you again! Thanks so much Olly! X”
About: Born into a veterinary household, I grew up caring for every type of animal — from hamsters and tortoises to lambs, cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve always shared my home with dogs, from tiny Shih Tzu puppies to giant Newfoundlands. This lifelong experience has given me a natural instinct for understanding what every dog needs to feel safe and loved. At the points of life where Iv been able to live with animals such a university or housing restrictions I have volunteered at either a dog walking charity or a small grooming business. Currently taking a break from cardiac Nursing, as youngest child is in their first year of school. Once school run is done we will either head to Trevaunance Cove, Portreath beach, Idless woods. Whichever you your pup would prefer. Then home for a snack & snooze, while I complete chores Then again after school pick up have a fun run down Coosebean woods/ cycle track just at the back of my home. I have a large garden that has some holes in the hedge-line, however your dog will be supervised while outside. No toxic plants. Always have access to fresh water, inside and outside
“Binky had a wonderful day staying with Ashley. She was really welcoming and lives in the perfect t location for Binky who loves being off lead, in and out of streams and running free in open countryside. Ashley kept us updated and sent photos and videos through the day. Would definitely recommended Ashley”
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals. I have owned dogs for many years, and trained my male Chocolate lab in obedience and agility and competed. I then got a female Rottweiler a few years later as a companion, who also I trained and did agility- but no competitions. After a few years without them, I got a shihtzu- moving to a small breed was very different- but amazing. Did some agility for fun only, she moved abroad with me - so I care for animals wholeheartedly. I groom her myself. I am an experienced handler and pet owner, who loves dogs all shapes and sizes. I am not working in August and part time from September, although can work from home. Therefore I am flexible with arrangements and ensure I am not away more than a few hours. I have a fenced in front garden, that is secure, as well as plenty of walkable routes around my home. I have a car to go for beach or woods walks.
“Frank had the best time with Leo. It has been a while since Frank had been with someone he wasn’t familiar with. He wasn’t happy when I left. Leo quickly sent me reassuring pictures. Little updates flowed throughout the day as they went of in walks and played at Leo’s home. Frank looked reluctant to leave. Would leave my little Prince with Leo any day. Thank you!”
“Wallace spent the day with Ashley and Walter as a trial before a 3 night sleepover. Ashley was absolutely fantastic with Wallace. She was completely unfazed by Wallace’s lively personality: she is calm and obviously knows what she is doing. She sent regular updates on how Wallace was settling and we will have no hesitation leaving Wallace in the safe hands of Ashley and Walter in the future. It is a true home from home experience.”
“Tywi and Hetta had a lovely day with Ella and Tom. They came back very content and calm. I think Ella was great to communicate with and very ameniable to our requests. I would highly recommend Ella and Tom and use them again if we were in the area.”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. Alongside owning dogs myself, I've volunteered with animal shelters both in the UK and abroad, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, backgrounds and needs. I've also spent time volunteering with wildlife conservation projects, giving me experience working with animals of all kinds. I work from home full time, so your dog will have plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. My home is spacious and can be separated into different areas if dogs need their own space, and I also have a large garden for playtime, sniffing adventures and relaxing in the sunshine. I share my home with my two rescue dogs, Zuri and Amara, who are both friendly, well-socialised and comfortable around dogs of all sizes. Their story is a special one. I first met them while volunteering at an animal shelter in Morocco. Zuri arrived at the shelter after being hit by a car and sadly lost one of his front legs as a result. My family helped cover his veterinary treatment while the shelter cared for him during his recovery. I later returned to Morocco to volunteer at the shelter for a month and completely fell in love with him, so I arranged for him to come home with me to the UK. While volunteering, I also met Amara. She quickly stole my heart too, but at the time I wasn't able to adopt her. A year and a half later, after moving into my home in Cornwall and knowing she was still waiting for her forever family, I travelled back to Morocco and brought her home as well. Both dogs have settled beautifully into life in Cornwall and love having canine visitors. Their rescue journeys have taught me so much about dog behaviour, patience, confidence building and making every dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were one of my own. I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is a good match, and I look forward to welcoming your dog into our home-from-home environment 🐾❤️ I work remotely most of the time, I'm sometimes needed in the office but this is rare - if this will be the case during a time period of house sitting I will flag this when you make the request! My house: Have a fenced garden and a baby gate between upstairs and downstairs. I feed all my pets separately and I have a crate available of my own.
“We were so nervous about leaving Olive but as soon as she met Bella those nerves disappeared, we booked whilst being away on holiday during a heatwave and Olive looked like she had the time of her life! So much so she didn’t seem happy to come back 🤣 we were kept up to date with photos and Bella picked up and dropped off right on time. We will definitely use again when we come to Cornwall and I would 1000% recommended.”

“Annabelle is such a chilled, caring and reliable dog sitter, Teddy loved her and he was relaxed and happy when we returned. I would definitely recommend her and will 💯 be using her again :)”
“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.”

“Our retriever Isla enjoyed the happiest of days with Kyal. Ours was a 'one off' situation whilst we attended a no-dogs festival in Falmouth whilst on holiday. We felt perfectly confident leaving Isla with Kyal. We noted he is very calm and at ease with dogs. We didn't have any qualms leaving Isla - who is a much adored pet - and she had a great day too. Thank you to Kyal.”

What more could I ask for?! Thanks so much Kyal. Albie looks forward to seeing you again soon.”

I am currently working part time (around 20 hours a week), so have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! Monday morning or evening. Tuesday & Thursday afternoons or nightime. Friday & Saturday all day. I understand that each pet is different, so I would abide any rules, routines and instruction set by the owner. Tailoring my care to each individual animal, from energetic pups to laid back felines!
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.
“Highly professional and friendly. Mavis has been really highly strung due to a lot of building work going on but Jenny and Jo have been super understanding and have taken it in their stride.”
About: I would love to help take care of dogs and cats, I really value the company of animals and delight in their presence (often getting very distracted by cute pets during convos!!).I have had dogs ands cats in my life since I was a baby and currently there 2 dogs within my own family - a toy poodle and a cockapoo. I have done some dog sitting/dog walking for friends and family over my whole adult life. I don't have formal experience as a pet sitter but I have worked other roles including as a care worker for elderly people, which means that I am reliable, trustworthy, always on time and also understand how to handle complex or emergency siutations. I am also an empath with high emotional intelligence and my sense of being able to read a room applies to pets as well, I pick up on how they are feeling and often people tell me that their pets gravitate towards me. My friend has told me I must have a good energy so I hope that even without formal experience, my ability to understand what pets need, life experience and experience with informal pet care for friends and family stands me in good stead. I have not got a dog myself as yet but I would love one, one day when it was right for me and the pup (I would love any dog but do have s soft spot for corgis!) I do have a cuddly and lovely senior cat - he has a heart condition and asthma so I have administered medication to him everyday for over 10 years including an inhaler so I am very well able to deal with pets meds and understand that for owners it can be very stressful to worry if someone is giving them the meds in the right way - I am here to help with that peace of mind. I do have experience with a dog that has had resource guarding issues and can be very anxious, so again having looked after him, I have learnt how to read his cues, give him his space and make sure he feels safe and comfortable. I also am used to dealing with reactive dogs and again will always make sure I give them the boundaries and space needed, whilst being also being affectionate or comforting presence. I wouldn't be able to host dogs in my own home but more than happy to go to owners homes. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pets :) I work from home full time but I do have time to pop out if close by in the day and also at evenings and weekends. Happy to take dogs on walks during lunch hours as well and early morning before work starts - I can definitely have that conversation based on individual needs and flex to help where I can. I currently couldn't take care of pets in my home but if needed I can look at helping within a pet owners home. I am very clear, as with the care work I did, that I would always enter a home quietly and carefully as to not upset the pet, make sure I knew everything I needed to do so that I am not creating further stress whilst being friendly and approachable for any dog or cat. I will not open any doors/windows unless needed, and I will always double check I have locked the house if owners are not around. Also on dog walks I would prefer to have dogs that are happy to be on the lead, as even if their recall is good, I would not feel comfortable letting them off in case.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and individual attention I give every pet. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, having been raised with Gordon Setters, and as an adult I’ve always owned Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training, toilet routines, and socialisation, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler approach, medication, and slower-paced walks. Having owned Dachshunds, I’m especially mindful of handling, back care, and appropriate exercise. I’m confident following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. I also keep owners regularly updated with messages and photos so they can feel completely at ease while their pets are in my care. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My aim is always to provide a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I am a single mum who works part time and from home, and dog walks and beach strolls are a part of my day so your pooch will have plenty of love and attention. I have a small fenced in garden for the dogs to play and Walter is happy to keep your dog company along with my 10 year old who is obsessed with all dogs.
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.

I also drive and I’m happy to take your dog out and about on my travels. I often like to go to dog friendly cafes to read so your dog would be more than welcome to join me. I’m not worried about dogs being on my furniture etc, I want them to feel comfortable and welcome in my home. I’m happy to dog sit in your home as long as there is WiFi and a kettle for a cuppa!
“Shaun was so patient with Luna. She’s an anxious dog, super attached to her family, so it was a new experience for her. It took her a while to warm up, but she seemed very happy and content once she’d settled in. Shaun was very professional and kept me updated through regular messages and photos. It was good to see her having fun while I was away. Thanks Shaun for taking the time to settle her in and make her feel at home.”
“I've found the perfect dog sitter! Lianne is both professional and friendly. She is clearly passionate and experienced with dogs, and her lovely home is ideal, being safe and comfortable. Albert and Ernie loved their stay with her, and Chloe the chilled resident dog. They got on like long term friends, and came back very relaxed and happy. I have no hesitation recommending Lianne to look after your loved ones, and will be a return customer for years to come.”
“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.”

“Thank you for taking such good care of Socks and Pango once again. You make it like a home from home for them. Thanks also for keeping us updated with photos and messages. Happy Christmas and see you in the new year!”
“Monika is the first person to ever look after Monty and it was his first time not staying at our house. We were nervous about how he would be but it’s very obvious that he had a fantastic time away! She kept us very informed on how he was doing and I think the chance to spend time with another bigger dog in the house has really improved his behaviour. Super happy with the whole experience and would absolutely recommend Monika to look after your pup!”
“Harry stayed overnight with Tabitha who was excellent at communicating with us and sent a video of Harry enjoying himself. Would not hesitate in booking Tabitha again if we return to stay in the nearby area.”
“Callan and Jess were fantastic sitters. It was our pup’s (Fred’s) first time away from home, and they made us feel at ease by letting us see where Fred would be staying and introducing us to their two dogs and cat which are all lovely. They took Fred for a walk and sent us photos throughout the stay to keep us informed. We would highly recommend them and we look forward to using their service again.”
“Monty was a very happy boy staying with Harriet for the weekend, got taken on lots of walks and had a good swim in the sea which he loved. Would recommend and will be hoping to use Harriet again if I go away”
“I had never left my Chiku with anyone before and I was scared, but Gina and her husband took such good care of our dog, they were also superb with us even though we were late in dropping him off. They took him out for a walk as well! They were just amazing!”
“Many thanks to Jenny for looking after our pampered pooch Heidi. It was great to get regular photos of her during her short stay with you which gave us confidence she was OK. Thank you x”
