“Waffle (cockapoo/bichon frise) had a wonderful stay with Sam and her family. He was looked after so well, enjoying the walk to school and back with the young ones and woodland walks. Sam was happy to give him his daily ear spray and daily pill in his food. A very loving home, we would highly recommend and hope Waffle can stay again! Thank you! Mel & Mark xx”

“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.”
“Our dog, Willow, is 9 years old and had never stayed with anyone outside our family before so we were not sure how anxious she would be. We needn't have worried as she has obviously had a great time with Holly and Max. Holly updated us daily with messages and also videos of Willow having a great time on the beach. In fact she obviously enjoyed herself so much she would have been quite happy to stay! We would not hesitate to ask Holly to look after Willow again in the future.”
“Marietta took great care of Nova and send us some cute pictures during the day. We met before, so that all was clear for the day itself. Would recommend! Monty was also very cute 🐾”
“Alex was absolutely brilliant. His communication throughout has been fab, he sent updates and videos while he had Moose, which was absolutely lovely! He is a fantastic sitter and I couldn't recommend him enough!! Will definitely be in touch again the next time we are away! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup Alex, Moose very much enjoyed his time with you!”
About: We have 14 years experience of loving and owning our pug Bruce who has unfortunately recently passed away. We had Bruce from a baby so have experienced all ages of dog ownership and care from the crazy puppy to gentle old man. Since losing Bruce we now have spare time to help with other dogs and have a lot of love to give. We live 200 metres from the beach so lots of space for your dog to enjoy. I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule so there would never be a situation where your dog is left alone. Dog walks 3 times a day is all we know over the last 14 years so accommodating that would just be the norm! We take great pride in our home and have always kept it dog friendly and safe over the years. We have doors to each room of the house so can keep everything closed and secure.
About: Dog-lover, cat-lover, general pet lover. I live in a big house in Falmouth with a few friends, with a decently big enclosed garden. First time doing this but so excited! Im often at home, or out and about- I teach several surf lessons a week and work remotely the rest of the time- am always outside and always up for taking the dog for a walk or giving it a cuddle on the sofa. I tend to be up around 7:30ish in the morning. We are able to leave the garden open whenever we want as it is totally enclosed. I have a relatively large enclosed grass garden. Pets allowed on sofas. We’re very relaxed - it’s a very clean and tidy but well lived-in house. Always people at home. Having a dog is a dream of mine but I can’t get one because I don’t know my long term plans, so this is a perfect compromise!
“Reg had the best time and Hannah and her family were so lovely. Their dog was also super friendly and Reggie seemed to love her too. Hannah sent lots of pictures and gave lots of updates which were great and if I were in Newquay again I would definitely get back in touch - thanks so much!”
“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 grew up with the craziest Maltese, who I trained from a puppy until I left for university, so I’ve always had dogs around me. I’m often at home and regularly look after my friends’ dogs, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them, or taking out. I also enjoy running, swimming and other outdoor activities, and I’d love to have a dog join me whenever appropriate. I’ve always found that animals naturally seem to feel confortable around me, and most importantly, dog person for life! I’m a postgraduate student living in Falmouth with a part time job. I’m usually at home for most of the day unless im out doing an activity involving some sort of exercise I live in a spacious house with five friends, a courtyard, and plenty of room for dogs. We enjoy outdoor activities, relaxing days and companionship
About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals has instilled in me a deep love for animals. I take my responsibility as a caregiver seriously, holding myself to high standards in all aspects of animal care. I am particularly interested in understanding dog behavior, and I am skilled at recognizing signs of anxiety or discomfort. My commitment to providing a loving and attentive environment ensures that every animal I care for feels safe and valued. My part-time job as a teaching assistant in a primary school allows me a flexible schedule. My shifts typically last up to six hours, with some days being shorter. I start my day at 6 AM, giving me ample time to attend to my pets before heading to work. This routine ensures that I can provide consistent care, attention, and companionship to the animals, regardless of my work commitments. When caring for pets, whether at my home or the owner’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. My approach includes: • Routine Establishment: I maintain the pet’s usual feeding and exercise schedule to ensure consistency. • Environment Familiarity: If at the owner’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring the pet feels secure. • Attention to Behavior: I closely observe the pet for signs of anxiety or discomfort, adjusting my approach as needed to help them feel at ease. • Engagement and Play: I provide physical and mental stimulation through playtime and interaction, keeping pets happy and healthy. • Communication: I keep the pet owner informed about their pet’s behavior, health, and any concerns that may arise. This comprehensive care approach allows me to foster a trusting relationship with the pets, ensuring they feel loved and secure.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog in Richard’s care for four days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I visited his home before the booking, I felt confident and reassured. Richard is knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. He provided regular updates and made sure my dog was comfortable and well looked after throughout the stay. It’s clear he goes above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

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.”
“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!!

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.
“Isie was great with my cats (I've got one shy one and one grumpy one and she won them both over!). The daily updates were much appreciated. I'd definitely book her again (thank you Isie). ”
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: 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
About: I’ve been brought up around dogs my whole life so have learnt a lot of caring responsibilities. With bathing, walking, feeding, administering medication and just loving them! I am currently at university so I live quite a busy life! However, around my studies I am able to fit in some dog walking/ sitting. My availability can vary but I can keep this up to date on the calendar and provide plenty of notice. Unfortunately due to my dogs at home not being too friendly I can’t look after your dogs in my own home. However, in your home I’ll be sure to keep an eye on them, meet their needs and give them plenty of attention! If there are any additional needs e.g regular medications or training, if you let me know this before I will make sure I stick to any plans!
“Elisha came for a pre visit and we spoke of the requirements of our 2 cats, Daisy and Diesel, their feed schedule, their dietary requirements and cleaning up of their litter box.

Im currently working a part time job so have plenty of free time to walk and play with your pups! I would love to pursue dog walking as a full time job and therefore my availability is very flexible.

About: I’ve been cat sitting full time for the last four years and am experienced in play time, lap time and leave me alone time. I’ve looked after cats of all ages, administered different types of medication and am also experienced with particularly shy cats.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for 22 years, ever since I was 6 years old. My own cat, Billy, was a huge part of my life and sadly passed away theee years ago at the age of 20! Since then, I’ve really missed having a cat around, and I’d love the opportunity to give other cats the same love, attention and care I gave him. I’m comfortable with cats with all kinds of personalities and will always take the time to get to know them and make them feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I travel a lot, which means I’m not able to have a cat of my own right now, but cat sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with cats while giving you peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after. ❤️

“Terri was super helpful looking after our dog Coco at short notice. This included picking her up in her car, taking her for a walk on the beach, looking after Coco in her home for the day and allowing us a later pickup. Terri was good n communication, very friendly and good on animal welfare.”
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.

“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.”
“Ella & Tom are a wonderful couple who looked after Phoebe for two days. She was very happy heading back on day two which is always a telling tale.

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.”
“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.”

“We needed someone to look after our dog Mabel while we took the kids to the theme park. Georgia was very quick to reply to any questions we had before taking Mabel to her. She also kept us up to date how Mabel was doing throughout the day and sent pictures. Mabel had a great time with Georgia, she made sure to put Mabel's needs first and took her for a long walk on the beach which Mabel would of loved. Thank you so much for taking care of Mabel we will definitely be back in touch on our next trip to Cornwall.”
“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”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, starting at 14 when my family welcomed our first dog, Hendrix (pictured), into the family. Since leaving home, I’ve continued to regularly dog sit and walk dogs, and I’ve now also been caring for dogs through Rover for several years. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes and personalities, and I’m confident adapting to each dog’s individual needs, routine and temperament. Whether they’re energetic and love long walks and playtime, or prefer a slower pace and plenty of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to them. I travel a lot, so I’m unable to have a dog of my own at the moment, which is why I love having the opportunity to care for other people’s pets. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home so I’m able to give your furry friend all of the attention they need with regular toilet breaks! I love long walks so happy to take them out as many times they need. I will happily adhere to your instructions and provide your pet with all the care they need. Including lots of attention! Hendrix has health problems so I also have experience in caring for dogs with health issues.
About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. Growing up, my home was filled with dogs, cats, tortoises and more caring for them wasn’t a chore, it was something I genuinely loved. That passion has never left me. I find real joy in spending time with animals, understanding their personalities and making sure they feel safe and loved. Beyond my upbringing, I have hands on dogsitting experience caring for pets over extended periods, so I know what it takes to step in as a trusted carer. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual needs and always go the extra mile to ensure they’re comfortable, stimulated and happy.

“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.”
About: I’ve been brought up around dogs my whole life so have learnt a lot of caring responsibilities. With bathing, walking, feeding, administering medication and just loving them! I am currently at university so I live quite a busy life! However, around my studies I am able to fit in some dog walking/ sitting. My availability can vary but I can keep this up to date on the calendar and provide plenty of notice. Unfortunately due to my dogs at home not being too friendly I can’t look after your dogs in my own home. However, in your home I’ll be sure to keep an eye on them, meet their needs and give them plenty of attention! If there are any additional needs e.g regular medications or training, if you let me know this before I will make sure I stick to any plans!

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: I have grown up with a cat as well as frequently looking after other peoples dogs via walking and house sitting. I have a degree in Zoology and I volunteer at the Seal Sanctuary aswell so care greatly about animals :) I currently only work part time as a swimming teacher so I can work most hours of the week. Wednesday’s I volunteer at the Seal Sanctuary so really that is the only day I cannot do. I can be on the cautious side when looking after another owner’s pet to make sure it is safe for them, while still allowing the pet to have fun and enjoy themselves.
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 for walking neighbours dogs and 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

“Waffle (cockapoo/bichon frise) had a wonderful stay with Sam and her family. He was looked after so well, enjoying the walk to school and back with the young ones and woodland walks. Sam was happy to give him his daily ear spray and daily pill in his food. A very loving home, we would highly recommend and hope Waffle can stay again! Thank you! Mel & Mark xx”
“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.”
“Our dog, Willow, is 9 years old and had never stayed with anyone outside our family before so we were not sure how anxious she would be. We needn't have worried as she has obviously had a great time with Holly and Max. Holly updated us daily with messages and also videos of Willow having a great time on the beach. In fact she obviously enjoyed herself so much she would have been quite happy to stay! We would not hesitate to ask Holly to look after Willow again in the future.”
“Alex was absolutely brilliant. His communication throughout has been fab, he sent updates and videos while he had Moose, which was absolutely lovely! He is a fantastic sitter and I couldn't recommend him enough!! Will definitely be in touch again the next time we are away! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup Alex, Moose very much enjoyed his time with you!”
About: Dog-lover, cat-lover, general pet lover. I live in a big house in Falmouth with a few friends, with a decently big enclosed garden. First time doing this but so excited! Im often at home, or out and about- I teach several surf lessons a week and work remotely the rest of the time- am always outside and always up for taking the dog for a walk or giving it a cuddle on the sofa. I tend to be up around 7:30ish in the morning. We are able to leave the garden open whenever we want as it is totally enclosed. I have a relatively large enclosed grass garden. Pets allowed on sofas. We’re very relaxed - it’s a very clean and tidy but well lived-in house. Always people at home. Having a dog is a dream of mine but I can’t get one because I don’t know my long term plans, so this is a perfect compromise!
“Reg had the best time and Hannah and her family were so lovely. Their dog was also super friendly and Reggie seemed to love her too. Hannah sent lots of pictures and gave lots of updates which were great and if I were in Newquay again I would definitely get back in touch - thanks so much!”
“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 grew up with the craziest Maltese, who I trained from a puppy until I left for university, so I’ve always had dogs around me. I’m often at home and regularly look after my friends’ dogs, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them, or taking out. I also enjoy running, swimming and other outdoor activities, and I’d love to have a dog join me whenever appropriate. I’ve always found that animals naturally seem to feel confortable around me, and most importantly, dog person for life! I’m a postgraduate student living in Falmouth with a part time job. I’m usually at home for most of the day unless im out doing an activity involving some sort of exercise I live in a spacious house with five friends, a courtyard, and plenty of room for dogs. We enjoy outdoor activities, relaxing days and companionship
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog in Richard’s care for four days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I visited his home before the booking, I felt confident and reassured. Richard is knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. He provided regular updates and made sure my dog was comfortable and well looked after throughout the stay. It’s clear he goes above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“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.”
“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.”

“Tabitha was super sweet and very chilled. We dropped our frenchie, Beanz with her for a couple days whilst we were at a wedding and Beanz seemed to have a great time - she came back exhausted which is always a good sign 😂 thanks so much Tabitha - really appreciated your flexibility and all round relaxed approach made the whole thing very easy.”

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!
