“My Olde english bulldog (ted) came to visit nick and his family. He had the best time playing with max (the family dog). Nick provided updates and sent us photos during his stay. Ted went out on new walks with nick and Max. Ted is super excited to come back next month. It's really nice to know our furbaby is left with such a lovely family and is really well looked after when we are away. Would HIGHLY recommend !!!”
“Daisy had a weekend stay with Yves and her partner nick and she had the best time. She is always well looked after, spoilt and is the most happiest of dogs having visited with them. She has always been a bit nervous around other people that aren’t her family but she loves yves and nick so much and literally is so excited to see them every time she sees them. They will send numerous videos and photos of her time with them and provide lots of updates and always puts me at ease knowing she is with such loving and caring people. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to look after their dogs.”
“Talita, Neil and Mala are absolutely wonderful. We felt so comfortable leaving Buddy with them. We really appreciated their updates and hearing how well Buddy got on with them. We would be so happy for them to look after Buddy again and would recommend anyone leaving their pup friends with them as they are really attentive and clearly care about looking after your pets so well. Thank you all. Buddy loves having a new great friend.”
“Josie is absolutely fabulous. If you want your dog to have a wonderful holiday as well, this is your lady. She sent lots of photos, so we could see what a great time Tilly was having with funny comments that made us laugh. Josey had 2 lovely boys who loved on Tilly so much it was perfect. Pretty sure if Tilly could pack her bag she would be going back ASAP. I cannot recommend Josey enough and we already have more breaks booked with her.”
“Darran what great from start to finish. Courteous, accommodating and we felt our pup got the best of care. He has clearly had a lovely time. We also really appreciated meeting Darran and the lovely Frank (his dog) a few days ahead of the booking to see if everything was a "good fit". Darran was also very aware of the heat wave and went out of his way to walk our dog during the limited cooler periods. Great experience in general, and we have already booked Darran again. Cheers!”
About: We are a dog-loving family based on the edge of Exeter, with over three years’ experience as trained Guide Dog fosterers. Through our work with Guide Dogs, Luke and I have completed official training and have hands-on experience caring for dogs with a range of needs, routines, and temperaments. Before fostering, we’ve always had dogs in our lives as family pets, including supporting with breeding and puppy rearing, so we’re confident and capable with dogs of all ages. Our children (aged 8 and 11) are calm, respectful, and well used to being around dogs, understanding how to approach and interact with them safely. Both of us work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, regular toilet breaks, and consistent care throughout the day, as well as daily walks. We lead an active outdoor lifestyle and enjoy trips to the beach, walks on Dartmoor, and (in the summer!) wild swimming—so there’s plenty of adventure on offer if your dog enjoys it. We live in a peaceful location with a good-sized woodland garden and easy access to beautiful rural walks, giving dogs space to explore, play, and relax. We absolutely love having dogs as part of family life and, while we’re not in a position to have one of our own just yet, we take real joy in caring for others as if they were part of our family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as we both work from home, so there is always someone available to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We’re able to offer regular toilet breaks, feeding at set times, and plenty of companionship. Our days already include walks and outdoor time, which we can tailor to suit each dog’s needs—whether that’s shorter, frequent walks or longer, more active outings. Evenings are typically relaxed and home-based, giving dogs time to settle and feel part of the family. Weekends are flexible and often involve outdoor activities like countryside walks or trips to the beach, so dogs in our care benefit from both structure during the week and enrichment at the weekend. We provide a safe, calm, and structured environment, drawing on our experience as trained Guide Dog fosterers. We follow each dog’s individual routine closely, including feeding, exercise, rest, and any specific training or behavioural guidance provided by owners. Our home is set up with dogs in mind, including a woodland garden for supervised outdoor time and easy access to quiet rural walks. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and we ensure they have a comfortable space to relax and feel at ease. We are confident handling dogs with different temperaments and needs, and always use positive, consistent reinforcement. We’re also mindful of safety around children—our two are experienced, calm, and understand how to behave respectfully around dogs. If caring for pets in an owner’s home, we aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to minimise stress, while keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos for peace of mind.
“I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am that I found Georgina. We were on a family holiday and discovered last minute that our lodge didn’t allow dogs. Not knowing anyone in the area, I was really upset at the thought of leaving him with a stranger. I messaged Georgina and within minutes she replied — and within the hour, she was there. From the moment we met, she was kind, calm, and incredibly reassuring. She immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which meant so much, and she even helped with pick-up and drop-off. Thank you so much again, Georgina — you truly made a stressful situation so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.”
“Hubble had a wonderful time with Kerry. I was updated regularly and I could see that Kerry took our dog walking to different places every day. Hubble was definitely happy and relaxed with Kerry. Would highly recommend.”
“Betsy had a lovely time with Anneka. She was well cared for and enjoyed her walks and getting to know Anneka’s family. We enjoyed receiving daily photo updates which showed just how caring and attentive Anneka was. Thank you Anneka!”
“We would certainly recommend using Lucy again for our dog. She was very kind and helpful and our dog instantly took a shine to Lucy's gentle manner and set her at ease. We loved the little photo updates while away. It was lovely to see our dog having a lovely time. We can't thank Lucy enough and will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“First time using Rover and could not be happier with the outcome. Greg and Jill were quick to respond to my inquiry and made the initial process very easy. Things only got better when I took Rosco to meet them he immediately appeared comfortable, G&J very warm and welcoming. Being a typical dog owner in that he is as important to me as a child I was anxious about leaving him, however G&J sent almost immediate 'pupdates' with pictures and comments to show Rosco was settling in, receiving all the love and attention he could wish for. Picked up a very happy dog! Would not hesistate to use again and recommend. Great location, lovely people. Fantastic!!”
About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home
About: I’ve given dogs a happy place to be while their families are busy for years now, looking after family and friends dogs during the week. As I work from home i’m able to provide regular breaks and walks but also find lots of time to play or cuddle! My friends rely on me to keep their dogs fed, safe and happy and i’m always their first choice of day care now! My partner Steve works from home part of the week so is also around for looking after and entertaining your dogs during the days. I’ve got experience with nervous, needy dogs to very chilled relaxed dogs (and everything in between)! Weekdays my boyfriend and I work from home, so my day looks like a morning walk, then flexible during the day to do what the dog needs, and free in the evenings if longer care is needed. We’re available for boarding weekdays and some weekends but notice is needed! We have a completely secure, fenced garden in a quiet safe neighbourhood. Dogs are allowed in any room in the house but will follow your guidance too on their rules. They’ll be allowed upstairs and on furniture, and will be given our full attention all day/evening!
About: My fiancée, Liam, annd I, have always had dogs as part of our family, so caring for them comes naturally to us. We understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and we’ll do everything we can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us. We share our home with our friendly Cocker Spaniel, Arlo, who loves meeting other dogs and enjoys having a friend to play with. We’ll do our best to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any special requirements, so they feel settled and at home. Your dog will enjoy a daily walk in our local area, along with plenty of cuddles and attention. Whether they love exploring outdoors or prefer to relax at home, they’ll be treated as one of the family throughout their stay. We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, so we’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and we’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My partner, Liam, and I both work full time but have the flexibility of working from home, so there is always someone around to keep your dog company and make sure they’re well looked after throughout the day. We already have an established routine with our cocker spaniel, Arlo. He enjoys a long walk every evening, and any dogs staying with us will join us on our daily walks around the local area. If your dog is used to more frequent, smaller walks, we are happy to be flexible and accommodate this. Throughout the day, we provide plenty of enrichment and activities to keep Arlo mentally stimulated, and we’d love to include your dog too. We can keep our back doors open, giving the dogs free access to our secure garden whenever they want to stretch their legs, play, or relax outside. Your dog will be treated as one of the family, receiving lots of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while in our care. Our home has a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or relax throughout the day. We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, sleep routines, and any specific care instructions you provide. If your dog is crate trained and you would like them crated at certain times, we’re happy to accommodate this as part of their normal routine. Your dog will enjoy daily walks in our local area. We would keep your dog on the lead. We are happy to discuss letting them off the lead at secure dog parks if you would prefer this. If your dog requires medication, we’re happy to discuss their individual needs before their stay to make sure we’re the right fit. For added peace of mind, we’re just a short walk from our local veterinary practice should an emergency ever arise. Our priority is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Charlotte and Josh were wonderful carers for our dog while we were away on holiday - easygoing and knowledgeable, reassuring and flexible, they sent us regular updates and brilliantly navigated some difficulties that arode in a really accommodating, professional and sympathetic manner. We couldn't have asked for more, and we wholeheartedly recommend them for your dog-caring. Thank you to you both!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and today my constant companion is Harper, my wonderful three-year-old cocker spaniel. We spend most days exploring the countryside around Dartmoor, where we live in a large converted chapel in a peaceful Devon village. Life here is a dog’s dream. We’re surrounded by woodland trails, open moorland, reservoirs and beaches, which means plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment and adventure. Whether your dog loves long walks, paddling in the water, playing fetch or simply relaxing in the garden, I’ll tailor their day to suit their personality and energy levels. I work from home, so your dog will have company, attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a secure, enclosed and shaded garden that’s perfect for playtime and keeping cool during warmer weather. Most importantly, I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a matter of trust. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, well exercised and showered with affection while you’re away. I work full time from home but most of my team is in the U.S, so half my day is my own time to work flexibly which works well during the warmer weather for cool morning walks. I’m available for boarding and house sitting during the week and weekends and I can be flexible for fairly last minute requests. I have a completely enclosed garden that is beautiful and safe. My dog, Harper, is the absolute friendliest cocker spaniel - she’s neutered, very friendly with other dogs and typically follows me around everywhere. I’m happy to take the lead from you on any routines or care your pet requires.
“Holly has been brilliant with Reggie. He stayed for a week and we received regular photo and video updates. Communication with Holly has been great throughout the booking and with the pre-meet. We would definitely recommend 👍😁”

“Amazing once again!! second time anna has accommodated a late request which is so helpful for me and my fiancé who love to plan spontaneous trips. our girl is also a big fan!! will always recommend to anyone needing a sitter😊”
“So happy with Lucy’s service. I needed a last minute booking for my dog and Lucy accommodated me, even squeezing in a quick visit to meet me and Pasha before she went on holiday. Lucy sent updates during her visit which was reassuring to receive as I was out the house for so long! My dog Pasha seemed to love their time together!”
“Alexandra was great. They communicated all throughout the time spent visiting. Leo was kind enough to show up and say hello. Will use again and encourage others to do so as well.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thank you to Josie for helping with my dog while I was away! She popped in to keep her company, let her out for toilet breaks and took her for little walks around the block. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. super reliable and clearly loves dogs — would definitely recommend! 🐾”
“Brad was great with Timmy and Meg - we had lots of updates and were kept in the loop with how they were getting on. Would definitely book them again and can highly recommend them.”
“Rosie has been the most amazing cat sitter, she clearly loves cats and Casper has developed a real soft spot for her! Every day we have received photos and videos of Casper sitting on her lap purring and playing - she takes the most beautiful professional photos I think we may even frame one!! Rosie even spent a few hours in our house working from home so that Casper could have some longer company - the house has been left clean and tidy as she also kindly hoovered up his spread about litter each day. Thank you so much for everything!! We won't hesitate to book again for our next trip away :)”
About: I have had family pets all my life. I have looked after friends, family and my own pets, taking them out for walks, feeding and cleaning when required. I have recently finished my third term of university therefore have a lot of time to spare over summer! I also play professional sport, and have a lot of time in the mornings and on off days to look after your pets! I have a secure house and outdoor space. There are no other pets in the house. I would take your dog well known and pet friendly areas.
About: I’ve lived in a family home with cats and over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ cats, getting to know different personalities—from playful and energetic to shy and independent. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure each cat feels comfortable and cared for in their own space.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats, including rescuing and looking after a stray cat for about 6 months. I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, and making sure it felt safe and comfortable. I understand that cats can be sensitive and need patience and a calm environment. I’m gentle, quiet, and attentive, and I always respect each cat’s personality and space. I’m happy to follow your routines carefully and send updates, so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
“Caitlyn is very kind and attentive! Took great care of our cat while we were away. She spent generous amount of time playing and cuddling with our kitty, and we couldn’t be more thankful to her :)”
“Madeline took great care of Cleo, and sent some lovely photos. I really appreciated her coming to meet Cleo before I went away, and I felt confident that she would take care of Cleo.”
About: I have vast experience in looking after cats and their individual needs. Play and exploration is so important to cats and I encourage this each day. I have experience in administering medication to cats and above all I love cuddles on the sofa.
“Lin has looked after our cats a few times now and has always been amazing. The cats have previously been nervous when left but we always return to happy cats once Lin has been. Will 100% be booking again”
“Leo has been a pleasure to work with. He has clearly bonded with my rather shy, timid cat and engaged with her so she has come out of her shell with him. He has always respected the instructions left. I will certainly ask for Leo when I next need cat care services.”
“Nan was great with my cat Hugo. He is a very nervous cat to start but she listened to his needs and gently encouraged him to feel more at home. She sent me regular pictures and videos and always keeping me fully up to date on his toileting and eating habits. I will 100% be using nan again. Thanks so much , Hugo loved his time with you 🐈”
“Sasha is absolutely the best! She visited us in advance and made me feel very comfortable. Our cats love her and I had no reservations about leaving them in her care. They were happy and content when we came home and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.”

“This was my first leaving Sally with Yung and her partner she loved it! Yung and her partner were so friendly and kept me up to date with pictures and videos of Sal and she looked like she loved her time with Yung! Will definitely be bringing her back 🩷thank you :)”
“Esmé and Will have been absolutely lovely with Blue. They’ve asked questions and looked after him as well as I would’ve. He’s always excited when we get to their house. It’s been so great I’m having them look after him on a recurrent basis. I would highly recommend them.”
About: I’m a reliable, calm, trusted dog owner & sitter with experience of small & large breeds. I have had dogs all my life and grew up with dogs in the household. I have trained my own dog to a very high standard of recall and manners, and he gets along with all other dogs. My calm & confident approach has resulted in a harmonious, calm household that pets I have looked after settle into quickly. I live a fairly active lifestyle, so we are out and about every day for a nice long walk. We love to walk down along the river weather permitting, and we go to Exmouth a couple of times a week for a good run on the beach. We also like to chill in town at a few dog friendly cafes, where they get lots of fuss, so of course your dog would be with us. I live in a basement flat with direct access to a large, secure, enclosed garden that they access to all day. The garden is surrounded on all sides by a 7ft high solid brick wall that is escape proof, perfect for the dogs to free roam and play in complete safety at their leisure. I also live 50 metres from Belmont Park which we visit several times a day. The park is perfect for dogs to socialise as we have a large group of local dog walkers.
“We left our lurcher with Danielle whilst we went to a rugby match. Despite the pouring rain she took her out for a walk (thank you)! She had 1 other dog there and they did not get along when they met so she kept them separate, which seemed to work well.”
“Alberto was absolutely brilliant with Gizmo and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first daycare experience. Gizmo had a full day of lovely walks, socialising with another dog and lots of stimulation, and it was clear from the photos/videos that he was having an amazing time and was really comfortable and happy. Communication was great, and Alberto was really calm, kind, reassuring and knowledgeable. Gizmo came home happy, relaxed and completely exhausted 😂 Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much!”

“Karen is so friendly and welcoming for any nervous owners leaving their dog for the first time. The garden is secure and perfect for them to play in and Willow the whippet is a wonderful play mate for other dogs. Everything had a happy vibe and my dog had a great day and came home exhausted.”
About: My family got our first dog at aged 10, and our second when I was 17. I have cared for them both since they were puppies- teaching them to wait for food, fetch, lie down and even high five! As my first dog got older, I learnt how to be respectful of him as he didn't want to be played with all the time and was slightly more temperamental. This taught me to be patient and how to be around older dogs. Our second dog is a playful cocker spaniel with bundles of energy, always wanting to go on walks, which I am of course happy to do! I can therefore care for dogs of all ages and of many different natures as each one is unique and special in their own way. I am available anytime between 22nd July and 1st September. If I am unavailable, my sister can usually cover bookings- she is a Uni student studying animal science and bioveterinary course so has lots of experience with animals! I am able to do house visits and am happy to feed, play with or even just sit with the dog to keep them company! I can have pets in my home, but only if they get on with other dogs and small animals. I can do a whole day visit, a quick stop in, or I can take them on walks. I will send pupdates throughout the day of your fur babies so you don't have to stress while you're away from home!
“Maisie is absolutely amazing and our Ella had just the best time with her and her 18 month old cocker. Can’t thank Maisie enough and for all the photo and video updates. Would totally recommend, Ella couldn’t have had any more fun.”
“Harriet was brilliant with our Alfie. She kept in contact with regular updates and photos and put our mind at rest when he was unsettled. I would have no hesitation in using her services again and recommending her to friends and family. Thank you Harriet!”
“Couldn't be happier leaving Sausage with Daniel. He is the first sitter we have felt 100% confident in. Clearly loves dogs - which is a good start - but also responsible, reliable and resourceful. Having a lovely dog himself has been a big plus point too. Sausage has come to trust him very quickly and, as a dachshund, that is definitely not always the case. We are happily enjoying some well-earned days to ourselves, after a long time.... nights away next!”
About: I have always LOVED spending time with animals of all kinds from a very young age, from having pet rabbits as a kid, to having four dogs since I’ve grown up. I love taking dogs for walks and caring for them in the house as it really boosts my mental health and makes me feel happy :) I’m currently at the University of Exeter studying History, but I am generally very flexible and would love to look after dogs in the evening especially. My week varies quite a lot but generally I have at least 2 days where I can have full care of a dog in the weekday and then weekends I’m very available. I have a fenced garden, and five other girls in my house who are in love with dogs so would always keep a dog company and never be alone! Also plenty of treats for the little pooch !
“Pablo’s stay with Alicia and Gismo for the day was terrific. This was Pablo’s first time staying with Alicia and she took the time to settle him in before introducing him and Gismo. Alicia was very responsive when I made the booking request and asked great questions about Pablo’s eating routine, temperament, walking habits, likes and dislikes ?. She kept me updated all day on how Pablo was doing and sent me lovely photos. Pablo is going back for another day visit soon and I would very much recommend Alicia”
About: I have grown up always having a dog in the family and I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me in walking, feeding and looking after their furry friend. I am currently a student at University therefore I have quite a flexible routine and schedule during the week and weekends, allowing me to be available most days. At my house I have a fenced garden which has plenty of room for dogs to have fun in and I have all the essentials that a dog needs.
“Charlotte and her house-mates were amazing with our spaniel over a week of doggy day care. They provided lots of walks and attention, and he clearly loved being there (bounded straight in every day). I’d highly recommend and look forward to using them again!”

About: Hi! I’m currently a postgraduate student living in the UK. I’m quite a calm and patient person, and I really enjoy spending quiet time with animals 🐱🐶 I once rescued a stray cat and took care of it for about 6 months, so I understand the responsibility of feeding, cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have some experience with dog walking, and I’m always gentle and attentive when looking after pets. As a student, my schedule is quite flexible during the week. I’m happy to follow your routines carefully and send updates, so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. I may not have years of experience, but I will genuinely care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m available in the mornings from 7–9am (Monday to Friday), evenings from 5:30–9:30pm (Tuesday to Friday), and I have full availability on Saturdays. I try to be flexible whenever possible, so feel free to message me to discuss your needs! When caring for pets in your home, I will make sure to respect your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I will try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m a clean and tidy person, and I will make sure everything is left as I found it. I’m also happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Lola is so comfortable with Josie, I am so pleased about that! Today she already recognized Josie's car and got excited about her walk, she couldn't wait to get out with Josie!😄”
“Thank you for taking care of Beetle and being so flexible/helpful! Yung Hon has made my transition into school 100% less stressful by taking such good care of my pup.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age. The love has passed on to my children who also love looking after and caring for animals..bathing , feeding , walking and playing . I’m currently on leave from my job so I can fit in pet care easily and a lot more flexible. I can do boarding and walking as I have an enclosed garden and nature walks in my area I have a fenced garden so plenty of space and security for your pet. I can easily crate your pet if needed in my home
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have grown up in a household surrounded by animals - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles and horses! I also have hands on experience pet sitting. I’ve house sat for extended periods where I looked after a Golden Retriever and on a separate occasion I cared for two Black Labradors. Alongside dogs, I’ve also lived with and cared for cats, so I’m comfortable looking after feline friends too. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m always happy to follow specific instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules or just keeping them company, I’m committed to making sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. If you’d like to arrange a meet and greet or have any questions, feel free to get in touch. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home in a flexible role, which means I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, and keeping pets company. I do occasionally go into the office, but I always plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care are happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Outside of work, I love being active and outdoors - especially at the weekends, when you’ll usually find me out for long walks by the beach or heading into town for a coffee. I’d be more than happy to include a dog in those adventures (if they enjoy it!) or tailor the day to suit their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s individual needs and follow instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free for them, as I would want someone to look after my own pet! I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners can feel confident and reassured.

About: I have grown up my whole life surrounded by animals and pets of my own, families and friends and have always had a particular interest in dogs. The past two years at university I have been doing part time dog walking and building a close relationship with my clients pups, many of which I would walk most week days whilst they’re away at work. I love walking and looking after dogs and enjoy almost as much as them! I try to keep different routes and engage them with games and different environments, and keep in contact with photos of your pup to let you know they’re having fun! I’m currently a third year medical student so I am working around my studies this year. Early morning or evening walks and weekends fit perfectly into my schedule if that’s what your looking for! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from lizards, cats and dogs and always looking after family and friends. The past two years I’ve also spent working part time dog walking and boarding rescue dogs, so I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for dogs in the most comforting way possibly and allowing them to enjoy their time on walks or drop ins etc! I’ve also attended several rounds of puppy and dog training over the span over a few years so consider myself to have a basic understanding of caring for animals and helping them relax
“Kirsty was great and helped us out last minute. She had good communication and shared some lovely photos with us. It looked like Trixie had a great time with her new friend. Thank you”
“Anneka has been amazing with my boy Drake! I knew he was in good hands as soon as I met her and her daughter. Lovely, kind and attentive! He is clearly very happy and well looked after by the photo updates. Thank you and he looks forward to seeing you again! :)”
“Imogen was brilliant with Dexter! A hyper 5 month old puppy, she definitely had her hands full. But she took him on a lovely walk, kept me updated throughout on pick ups and when walk was finished. Ensured she walked in shaded areas and that it wasnt too hot during the heatwave. Sending lots of happy photos, felt very happy that Dexter was safe and looked after throughout and after his walk. Will definitely be booking again! Thank you”

“Rachel helped us out at short notice. Communication is excellent. Very professional and trustworthy. She is just what our little patterdale pup needed. He had a great morning with Rachel his walk was mapped for us to see. Lots of photos and updates throughout the visit which is so reassuring.”

“My Olde english bulldog (ted) came to visit nick and his family. He had the best time playing with max (the family dog). Nick provided updates and sent us photos during his stay. Ted went out on new walks with nick and Max. Ted is super excited to come back next month. It's really nice to know our furbaby is left with such a lovely family and is really well looked after when we are away. Would HIGHLY recommend !!!”
“Daisy had a weekend stay with Yves and her partner nick and she had the best time. She is always well looked after, spoilt and is the most happiest of dogs having visited with them. She has always been a bit nervous around other people that aren’t her family but she loves yves and nick so much and literally is so excited to see them every time she sees them. They will send numerous videos and photos of her time with them and provide lots of updates and always puts me at ease knowing she is with such loving and caring people. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to look after their dogs.”
“Talita, Neil and Mala are absolutely wonderful. We felt so comfortable leaving Buddy with them. We really appreciated their updates and hearing how well Buddy got on with them. We would be so happy for them to look after Buddy again and would recommend anyone leaving their pup friends with them as they are really attentive and clearly care about looking after your pets so well. Thank you all. Buddy loves having a new great friend.”
“Josie is absolutely fabulous. If you want your dog to have a wonderful holiday as well, this is your lady. She sent lots of photos, so we could see what a great time Tilly was having with funny comments that made us laugh. Josey had 2 lovely boys who loved on Tilly so much it was perfect. Pretty sure if Tilly could pack her bag she would be going back ASAP. I cannot recommend Josey enough and we already have more breaks booked with her.”
“Darran what great from start to finish. Courteous, accommodating and we felt our pup got the best of care. He has clearly had a lovely time. We also really appreciated meeting Darran and the lovely Frank (his dog) a few days ahead of the booking to see if everything was a "good fit". Darran was also very aware of the heat wave and went out of his way to walk our dog during the limited cooler periods. Great experience in general, and we have already booked Darran again. Cheers!”
“We would certainly recommend using Lucy again for our dog. She was very kind and helpful and our dog instantly took a shine to Lucy's gentle manner and set her at ease. We loved the little photo updates while away. It was lovely to see our dog having a lovely time. We can't thank Lucy enough and will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“First time using Rover and could not be happier with the outcome. Greg and Jill were quick to respond to my inquiry and made the initial process very easy. Things only got better when I took Rosco to meet them he immediately appeared comfortable, G&J very warm and welcoming. Being a typical dog owner in that he is as important to me as a child I was anxious about leaving him, however G&J sent almost immediate 'pupdates' with pictures and comments to show Rosco was settling in, receiving all the love and attention he could wish for. Picked up a very happy dog! Would not hesistate to use again and recommend. Great location, lovely people. Fantastic!!”
About: I’ve given dogs a happy place to be while their families are busy for years now, looking after family and friends dogs during the week. As I work from home i’m able to provide regular breaks and walks but also find lots of time to play or cuddle! My friends rely on me to keep their dogs fed, safe and happy and i’m always their first choice of day care now! My partner Steve works from home part of the week so is also around for looking after and entertaining your dogs during the days. I’ve got experience with nervous, needy dogs to very chilled relaxed dogs (and everything in between)! Weekdays my boyfriend and I work from home, so my day looks like a morning walk, then flexible during the day to do what the dog needs, and free in the evenings if longer care is needed. We’re available for boarding weekdays and some weekends but notice is needed! We have a completely secure, fenced garden in a quiet safe neighbourhood. Dogs are allowed in any room in the house but will follow your guidance too on their rules. They’ll be allowed upstairs and on furniture, and will be given our full attention all day/evening!
“Charlotte and Josh were wonderful carers for our dog while we were away on holiday - easygoing and knowledgeable, reassuring and flexible, they sent us regular updates and brilliantly navigated some difficulties that arode in a really accommodating, professional and sympathetic manner. We couldn't have asked for more, and we wholeheartedly recommend them for your dog-caring. Thank you to you both!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and today my constant companion is Harper, my wonderful three-year-old cocker spaniel. We spend most days exploring the countryside around Dartmoor, where we live in a large converted chapel in a peaceful Devon village. Life here is a dog’s dream. We’re surrounded by woodland trails, open moorland, reservoirs and beaches, which means plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment and adventure. Whether your dog loves long walks, paddling in the water, playing fetch or simply relaxing in the garden, I’ll tailor their day to suit their personality and energy levels. I work from home, so your dog will have company, attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a secure, enclosed and shaded garden that’s perfect for playtime and keeping cool during warmer weather. Most importantly, I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a matter of trust. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, well exercised and showered with affection while you’re away. I work full time from home but most of my team is in the U.S, so half my day is my own time to work flexibly which works well during the warmer weather for cool morning walks. I’m available for boarding and house sitting during the week and weekends and I can be flexible for fairly last minute requests. I have a completely enclosed garden that is beautiful and safe. My dog, Harper, is the absolute friendliest cocker spaniel - she’s neutered, very friendly with other dogs and typically follows me around everywhere. I’m happy to take the lead from you on any routines or care your pet requires.
“We were so grateful that Maria was able to have Griffin our 24kg labradoodle at short notice My daughter’s wedding involved a weekend away and my plans for him had to be changed due to the ill health of my original sitter We received two reassuring videos of Griffin happily playing with a toy on their sofa and another of him playing in Maria’s very large garden! For those nervous about their dog being reactive or becoming lost on walks, feel assured that your pet will have plenty of safe exercise if you should prefer them not to go out Griffin obviously felt comfortable and loved during his stay with Maria and her parents I have no hesitation in recommending Maria and will use her again in the future Thank you Maria!”
“Katie was amazing looking after our little fur baby. He clearly had an amazing time, loved his walks and playing with other dogs. He clearly felt at home when he arrived, received some great photos of him during his stay, will definitely be called Katie again!”
“Shauni and her partner Jack have been absolutely amazing with Max! They’ve gone above and beyond for his needs! Max is so nervous around new people so we spent a couple months getting him used to Shauni and Jack. He absolutely adores them both, he had his first sleepover last night and was so settled and happy. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care and build a bond with Max like they did 🥹”
“I can’t quite express how thrilled and thankful we are to have found Julia! She’s everything we could ask for in a sitter and our little dog, Heidi had the best time! She was warm and friendly, and loved and cared for Heidi as if she was her own. Communication was excellent - she sent lots of pictures and updates, and responded quickly to messages. When we first met Julia at our meet and greet, she asked lots of questions and took the time to really get to know Heidi and us. Nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond to make Heidi comfortable in her home. She even gave us a tour of her property so that we’d have an idea of where Heidi would be hanging out. Knowing that our girl was in such good hands made it easy for us to relax on our trip, and we didn’t worry about her once. When we arrived to collect Heidi, it was clear that she had really bonded with Julia and they’d become the best of friends - Heidi didn’t want to leave at first and kept running back for more cuddles! Honestly, I can’t praise Julia enough. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful friend to care for Heidi when we go away. Thanks a million, Julia! Xx”
“Cannot thank Izzy enough for the care shown to Cooper while we had to go away for a week. His first time with someone outside of the family and he thoroughly enjoyed his time with Izzy and her family. He was shown love like he was a member of their family and we were sent regular pup-dates showing him having the best time. We were unsure he would want to leave their beautiful home and fields. Would recommend Izzy to anyone who needs someone to look after their dogs. We will definitely be using Izzy again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Cherie went put of her way to make Mitsu comfortable in her house, sleeping in front of the fire, & when the bit of chicken I had left her in addition to her normal food, as she wasn't eating very well Cherie supplied her with some more. Above and beyond expectation. Thank you”
“My Chow Chow has taken a real shine to Leoni. Lovely environment, plenty of secure mooching around space outside. Had some great photos of my girl there, which makes a real difference. We met up with Leoni and her dog initially just to see how they'd all get on. Then trial of leaving her there for a few hours. All went really well and Leoni takes this all in her calm, relaxed manner. Next step is our first overnight stay. Looking forward to seeing how this works out!”
