About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and for the past 11 years my family and I cared for our own much‑loved Cavachon, who we sadly lost a couple of months ago. We raised her from a puppy, so I’m very familiar with early training, building routines, socialisation, and helping a young dog grow into a confident, well‑behaved companion. As she got older, we also managed her medication and adapted her routine to keep her comfortable, so I’m confident handling day‑to‑day care that needs consistency and a bit of extra attention. Over the years we’ve also looked after dogs belonging to family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. From Springer Spaniels and Dalmatians to Labradors, Cockapoos and Terriers. We have a large enclosed garden and a spacious open‑plan home where dogs can play, roam or rest depending on what they enjoy. My husband and our two children (aged 6 and 9) adore dogs. We love heading out for beach walks, woodland adventures and coastal paths together. The children are gentle, respectful and understand when dogs need quiet time and space. We aim to create a relaxed, predictable environment where dogs feel safe, settled and part of the family. Please get in touch if we can help, and feel free to share as much information as possible about feeding routines, temperament and anything else that helps us make their stay perfect. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine. I’m currently at home during the day, and over the school holidays I’m with my children, so there’s always company and plenty of attention for visiting dogs. My husband also works from home a lot, which means dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. We’re used to planning our days around dog‑friendly activities, beach walks, coastal paths, and relaxed weekend outings, so it’s easy for us to build a dog’s routine into our own. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just having someone around, we’re a family who genuinely enjoys making dogs feel part of our day. We have a large, fully fenced garden where they can explore and play securely, and our home is set up so dogs can be part of family life without feeling overwhelmed. Our children (aged 6 and 9) have grown up around dogs and are gentle, confident, and respectful, they love to play, but they also understand when a dog needs space or quiet time. We live close to woods, coastal paths, and dog‑friendly beaches, so walks are varied and enriching.

“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.”
About: I am a student who has looked after dogs for all I can remember. From walking my dogs at home, to fostering medical alert puppies, and volunteering at a kennels, I love dogs. I also love a good long walk and I am missing my own dog at home at the moment and would love to get out and about with an extra friend. At home, I am involved in training my beautiful labrador who will soon be a medical alert dog for Medical Detection Dogs. I also have experience with more reactive dogs. As a student, I am free most of the time with occasional hours during the week I am busy. I am available as much as you need me. I have a fenced off garden and a few dog toys and a dog bed at home. I also have my own lead. My dog from home has stayed round before and loved it.
“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.
“This was the first time we have left Otto and Finn with a home boarder and it’s been a very positive experience. Conny obviously loves dogs and they went into her house wagging their tails. We got regular updates and photos which enabled us to have a relaxing couple of nights away. Otto can be wary of strangers so to get sent a photo of him enjoying a belly rub was very reassuring and showed he was a very relaxed dog. Hope we will be able to book Conny again!”
“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 🐾”
“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!”
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.
“Alex was absolutely brilliant. Showed Rocco a great time on walks - and he came back healthy and happy and well cared for. Great comms, good vibes, super easy and welcoming. Would totally rebook sometime 🙌 Big thanks again Alex 🙏”
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
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!
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!
“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”
“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!!”
“Marek was so caring and attentive. I received daily photos and updates to let me know what my dog was doing each day. Most importantly my pup loved him and was cared for like at home. Thank you :)”

“We have had a series of excellent cat-sitters and can now include Zoey amongst them. Zoey asked all the right questions on her preliminary visit and we felt absolutely confident in leaving our cat in her care. We returned to find a happy cat who, for once, had eaten up all her food ration in our absence and seemed to have taken everything in her stride. We'd be more than happy to ask Zoey to sit for us again. Thank you, Zoey!”
“Becky was an excellent cat sitter, she clearly loves cats! We would book her again in an instant. Becky came to the house the day before we left, to meet Tigerbun and pickup the key. She checked for any special requirements. She sent us daily updates and photos which kept our mind at ease.”
About: I have a wide range in looking after a variety of cats. Ones that love cuddle, ones that love to be left alone, ones that sit in the middle of that! I am respectful of a cats wants and needs, and will fuss or not fuss depending on their little personalities. I have experience administering medication as my old cat had a heart condition and required tablets 3 times a day - happy to discuss your cats needs if this is something you require!
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). ”
“Harriet is really lovely and looked after my kittens so well. They were very happy and relaxed when I returned from a 3 day break. Harriet kept me updated with photos and a video which was so nice 😊”
“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'm very passionate in helping families with busy schedules and providing care to animals as well as helping to clean, cook and walking of dogs. I've had pets my whole life and currently have 2 cats and a dog. Working part time to help families with their pets, very flexible with hours and can travel all over Cornwall, also happy to negotiate wages and costs. I walk my dog everyday when I am not at university, so walking dogs is completely fine, I have also lived with two cats my whole life who I feed every morning and night.
“Jenny was great! My cat Bruce seemed to settle in really well with her visiting and was very happy when I got back. The overall communication was great, will definitely be going back to her again the next time I’m away!”
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.
“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. Whilst we were away, Elisha took care of them, giving us excellent updates on their activities and what they had eaten etc.”
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: 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.

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.

“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.

“Leo has been fantastic, he agreed to look after Dave on short notice. He has been really accommodating and worked around us. Dave had a wonderful time with Leo and Bruce, thoroughly enjoying himself and he came back tired, relaxed and very happy which can be a challenge at times being a working breed border collie, he has a lot of energy.”

“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.”
“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. I really can’t thank them both enough for watching her, and for the local cycling tip 😁. Wishing you both lots of happiness, and a big thank you from Phoebe & I x”
“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.”

“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.”

“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 :)”
“Jenny was really flexible /accommodating as we had to change our plans. The dogs slept very well after their stay so I think they must have been well exercised too. Got photos and updates and very prompt responses to messages. Would highly recommend.”
“It was Jessie's introductory session with Kyal prior to our summer booking. Kyal seemed confident in handling Jess, a large dog @ 35kg who sometimes can be reactive and unpredictable. He seemed genuinely to love animals, was kind, gentle but firm with her, and she really seemed to like him so I feel more confident in leaving her in his care.”
“Katie has been and brilliant. From perfect communication to going the extra mile to help, she's been absolutely amazing. I'm so grateful I found her to look after my dog. Thanks a million Katie.”
“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.”
“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.”

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I’m unable to host dogs in my own home, I’m more than happy to walk or care for them at your home. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, especially with anxious or sensitive dogs, so I always take a calm, patient approach and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide.

I have a dog friendly car and live in Truro so I can come pick up too! Feel free to give a message to arrange x I live with my Mum with two black labradors with a fenced courtyard, with a dog park only a few minutes up the road.

“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: My husband and I have housesitted on another platform for 2+ years in the UK, US, Germany and Japan. Meeting and caring for the animals is always our favourite part about the trip and would love to continue. I’m currently self-employed and working remotely on my masters degree. I am available to dedicate as much time as needed to your beloved pet(s) to make them feel at ease and comfortable. I do not offer pet care in my own home as I believe this creates a barrier between them and me. I want to feel like they trust me. I follow routines set by owners and try to make their routine as normal as possible. If they are happy with you they are happy with me.
“Cara was fantastic! She was on time, sent lots of pictures, and Albie had long, awesome walks with her! He was super happy when I got home. I would totally book again. Thanks again, Cara.”
About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs, I even grew up with Irish wolfhounds, so know how to handle the larger breeds. I’m very reliable and have walked dogs for a long time, and due to my love for animals, I’ll enjoy walking your dog just as much as they will. 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. I have a large, fenced, secure garden and will keep you dogs entertained in their favourite way. Whether that be playing fetch or cuddling up with tummy scratches!!
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: Dogs are so precious and I’ve been looking after them for years. I have experienced with big dogs, small dogs, young dogs and old dogs! I love to get to know their personalities and interests, and base my care from that. I love long walks and if your dog did too, then we will make a great match. I’m playful, attentive and respectful and I love a dog cuddle! I work full time from home, so I can use that as a huge advantage and work from your home whilst caring for your lovely pets! I am absolutely happy to take your lead on what your pet needs, and base my care on that. Whatever precautions you take in your home, I will follow alongside those routines that are so important in making sure your pet feels minimal change when you’re away!
“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 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
About: I have looked after senior dogs with life limiting illnesses and anxiety over the years. I focus on maintaining calm environments for anxious dogs and psychological stimulation. Hi there! I am Michelle (Chelle) , a dog-loving person who treats every pup like family. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, belly rubs, or just snoozing in a sunny spot, I am here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I have several years of experience with rescues and often look after friends and family's dogs. I do work Part-time in a hybrid community role, so i have flexibility to ensure your pup is given quality care. This also givies me lots of time to share a little extra love to your pup! My wife is home evenings and weekends.
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: 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.
“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 have an enhanced DBS check and have looked after dogs and cats for neighbours and friends for over 10 years at home and during university. We have had dogs and cats for many years in the family home so am experienced in mixed pet households and love both cats and dogs. I’m currently setting up my own practice in Chiropractic and Sports Massage in Porthtowan and am looking for part time work to go alongside it looking after dogs and cats! It was my part time job when I was studying in Wales and have loved it so much I want to carry it on alongside normal work! 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.
About: I have taken care of my friends and family’s dogs for many years, including walking, feeding and bathing and generally showing them lots of love. I also fostered a rescue for a year before he found his forever home, so have first hand experience with the daily looking after of a dog. We have no dogs in the house currently. I work from home a lot and I am free for boarding and dog walking throughout the week in the mornings, lunchtime and evenings and all weekend. I am free for general boarding and pet care continually. I have a fully walled back garden and gated front garden, on a quiet back street in Penzance, with a large park 20 metres away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and for the past 11 years my family and I cared for our own much‑loved Cavachon, who we sadly lost a couple of months ago. We raised her from a puppy, so I’m very familiar with early training, building routines, socialisation, and helping a young dog grow into a confident, well‑behaved companion. As she got older, we also managed her medication and adapted her routine to keep her comfortable, so I’m confident handling day‑to‑day care that needs consistency and a bit of extra attention. Over the years we’ve also looked after dogs belonging to family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. From Springer Spaniels and Dalmatians to Labradors, Cockapoos and Terriers. We have a large enclosed garden and a spacious open‑plan home where dogs can play, roam or rest depending on what they enjoy. My husband and our two children (aged 6 and 9) adore dogs. We love heading out for beach walks, woodland adventures and coastal paths together. The children are gentle, respectful and understand when dogs need quiet time and space. We aim to create a relaxed, predictable environment where dogs feel safe, settled and part of the family. Please get in touch if we can help, and feel free to share as much information as possible about feeding routines, temperament and anything else that helps us make their stay perfect. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine. I’m currently at home during the day, and over the school holidays I’m with my children, so there’s always company and plenty of attention for visiting dogs. My husband also works from home a lot, which means dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. We’re used to planning our days around dog‑friendly activities, beach walks, coastal paths, and relaxed weekend outings, so it’s easy for us to build a dog’s routine into our own. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just having someone around, we’re a family who genuinely enjoys making dogs feel part of our day. We have a large, fully fenced garden where they can explore and play securely, and our home is set up so dogs can be part of family life without feeling overwhelmed. Our children (aged 6 and 9) have grown up around dogs and are gentle, confident, and respectful, they love to play, but they also understand when a dog needs space or quiet time. We live close to woods, coastal paths, and dog‑friendly beaches, so walks are varied and enriching.
“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.”
About: I am a student who has looked after dogs for all I can remember. From walking my dogs at home, to fostering medical alert puppies, and volunteering at a kennels, I love dogs. I also love a good long walk and I am missing my own dog at home at the moment and would love to get out and about with an extra friend. At home, I am involved in training my beautiful labrador who will soon be a medical alert dog for Medical Detection Dogs. I also have experience with more reactive dogs. As a student, I am free most of the time with occasional hours during the week I am busy. I am available as much as you need me. I have a fenced off garden and a few dog toys and a dog bed at home. I also have my own lead. My dog from home has stayed round before and loved it.
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.
“This was the first time we have left Otto and Finn with a home boarder and it’s been a very positive experience. Conny obviously loves dogs and they went into her house wagging their tails. We got regular updates and photos which enabled us to have a relaxing couple of nights away. Otto can be wary of strangers so to get sent a photo of him enjoying a belly rub was very reassuring and showed he was a very relaxed dog. Hope we will be able to book Conny again!”
“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!”
“Alex was absolutely brilliant. Showed Rocco a great time on walks - and he came back healthy and happy and well cared for. Great comms, good vibes, super easy and welcoming. Would totally rebook sometime 🙌 Big thanks again Alex 🙏”
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!
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!
“Monika was fantastic with Nala, she had great communication as well, lots of photos, videos and updates. Nala even went swimming in the pond 😂. Thank you again! Nala clearly had such a fantastic time time being allowed luxury accommodation on the sofa and bed, shes protesting her crate strongly tonight 😂😂. Thank you again!”
“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.”
About: Growing up, we always had dogs at home, so I truly understand that dogs are family. Since joining Rover, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, including elderly dogs, nervous or anxious dogs, energetic puppies, and dogs that need medication. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own - with lots of love, care, and attention to their individual needs and personality. For new clients, I’ll always ensure to set up a meet & greet prior to accepting the booking, to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I work full-time in a 9–5pm office job, but I do have the flexibility to work from home. For boarding / day care and house sitting bookings, I’ll work remotely from home for the duration of the stay, so your pets will have company throughout the day. I’m also available to walk them before or after work, and/or during my lunch break. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I can usually fit these in quite easily around my work schedule - especially if you’re very local to me! Please note: some bookings may require me to put a request in with my manager to work from home. These are almost always approved, but on occasion I may be required to go into the office. For that reason, there may be some booking requests I have to decline. I’ll always double check my availability and confirm with you before accepting a booking. My rates are based on the assumption that your dog is comfortable being left for occasional short periods (e.g. 2–4 hours). Any alone time would always be based entirely on your dog’s routine, comfort and needs. We can chat about this more at a meet & greet prior to booking if needed. For dogs who cannot be left for that long (e.g. less than 2 hours), I offer constant-supervision care. This requires extra planning and time, so a small additional fee applies. I will also ensure to adhere to any requirements that you might have - this might be regarding walks, training, feeding, medication, or anything else.
About: With years of loving experience, I provide tailored, compassionate care for every pet. From energetic dog walks to cozy cuddles, my dedication and attention to detail ensure your furry friends happiness and your peace of mind. I work part time so have plenty of time to attend to your 4 legged friends, from dusk-dawn I will happily be there to help. I live by acres and acres of land to take your pups and pooches for long walks but can also break trails down for smaller walks if needed.I have a large comfortable home where many cuddles can be given.
“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.”
About: I have 10 years experience, caring for various different breeds and behaviours, for family, co-workers and friends. I have previously volunteered at my local animal shelter within the cotswolds and have attended puppy training sessions in the past with my own lovely Cavachon Polly. I am currently studying at Falmouth University and have alot of free time during the week/weekends. I am extremely flexible and am more than happy with any last minute requests. Unfortunately I am unable to offer overnight stays within my own home, however I am open to day trips! I have a large garden with lots of space for them to run around which is fully gated. Due to having owned dogs in the past and growing up around them I have alot of general knowledge to pet health.
“Jenny and her family were so amazing with our dog Sam. I was super apprehensive leaving Sam with anyone regardless of great reviews and honestly she put me totally at ease. Sam stayed for almost a week and I was updated with pictures and info on how he was doing. Sam was so happy and you could tell he really enjoyed the stay. Thank you so much would use again for sure.”
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
“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.”
