“Cannot say enough positive things about Angie. Angie and Her partner were so loving and caring to my two dogs and they came back to me washed and shampooed because they like to get muddy! Well walked, well fed, and very well cared for. Would 100% recommend and will most definitely be coming back in the future. If you were nervous about handing your dog over for the weekend or for however long, I can assure you, you couldn’t pick a better person.”
“This was our first time leaving Lucca with dog sitters. Being a rescue dog and having had a difficult start to life, we wanted to be sure that we were leaving him with the right people and in the right environment. 4 years it took us to find Talita, Neil and their dog Mala. It was well worth the wait. Lucca and Mala appeared to have a great time together and most importantly plenty of exercise and then time to relax and chill out. The most reassuring thing about this two night stay was the regular photos, videos and updates that were provided over the 3 days. It helped us relax in the knowledge that Lucca was having a fun time and being very well card for. Thank you so much to Talita, Neil and Mala for welcoming Lucca into your home and taking such great care of him.”
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
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Yves!! Drew had an absolutely perfect week with her & Nick & sent me gorgeous daily photos and videos & kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind initially but also brought me so much joy as I missed her so much. She was so well taken care of & had an amazing social life going to a family bbq & out & about locally to parks & gardens every day & socialising with other dogs. I thoroughly recommend Yves, especially as Drew is not fully housetrained due to her age & being a Frenchie, she wasn’t phased in the slightest & has become very fond of Drew - I’m booking her again for two weeks time! Thank you so much Yves & Nick for making Drew so happy & treating her as if she were your own, she certainly loves you ♥️”
“Flynn had a lovely time with Kerry and Wesley. Kerry was lovely with Flynn and he settled straight in. Regular updates and photos were appreciated. Would recommend Kerry 100% and we will book again.”
“I’m usually an overprotective dog mum but I had no doubts that Darran would be a trustworthy dog sitter. We dropped Gigi off for a night and she was comfortable around him which can be difficult for her. Darran is an expert when it comes to dogs, a very calming aura that reassured our pup that she is in safe hands. We are now going to be repeat customers 🌸”
“Brilliant communication from the beginning, very accommodating and was very thoughtful of a dog's needs in the very hot weather. Very thankful she was available, enjoyed the photo's, our pet had a lovely stay.”
“Zipi was so happy with Angela, she sent photos of his adventures having wonderful walks at new locations and enjoyed the company of Angela’s own dogs, would recommend her to anyone!!!”
“I am both glad and relieved that we found Danielle, we were so worried about leaving him with somebody new. We were given constant updates and sent photos of him, clearly enjoying his stay. It made our weekend away so much more relaxing, without the worry of Arthur being safe and happy. He even bonded with her two year old son, who was quite upset when we came to collect him. We will definitely use Danielle again and cannot thank her enough for her care and communication.”
About: I've take care of dogs of every kind. Neighbours and friends have relied on my to care for the dog whilst away, and I now have a miniature poodle of my own Mya who loves to be with other small dogs. I'm currently working part-time, working from home, so have plenty of time to keep you fury friend company during the day. I'm available for boarding at weekends as well as weekdays. I’m an academic at the University and feel very lucky to live in a spacious home with a secure, fenced garden close to the University and the beautiful Duryard Valley nature reserve — perfect for walks and outdoor time. I live with my 17-year-old daughter, who will also be at home over the holiday period studying for her A-levels. She absolutely loves dogs and will be delighted to spend time playing with your furry friend in the garden. We’ll be home throughout the summer and would love to welcome one guest dog into our home. We have a sweet miniature poodle who can be a little shy at first, but soon warms up, loves to play, and happily sleeps on my bed. To make sure every dog gets lots of attention and care, we only take one additional dog at a time. If needed, I’m also happy to crate your dog overnight at your request.
“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 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!”
“Sidney's stay with Greg was really great !! I got many pictures update about my boy during his stay. He seemed happy, taken care of and comfortable. When I picked him up, he was in great condition. Greg and his partner are really dog lovers, they provided everything Sidney needed during my absence. I would book another stay with them in heartbeat, next time I'm out of town. Thank you guys !!!”
“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.”
“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.”

About: I've always loved taking care of pets for friends, family and neighbours. Having moved to Exeter 4 years ago for university, I always said I missed my dog the most! I looked for any excuse to look after any of my team mates dogs, or head to the beach myself. Growing up we have had two rescue dogs, which proved challenging initially, but has been so rewarding to train and see them both feel comfortable in my family home. I can ensure your dog will have an enjoyable, long walk and explore somewhere new, and be loved as if it's my own! I'm currently a professional rugby player for Exeter Chiefs Women, training 3 days a week, with matches on weekends. I am looking for some part time opportunities for day care and dog walking around the training schedule and can make this work around you! I have a fenced outdoor space and a spacious living room; I am close to either Dawlish, Exmouth or the Exeter Quay so will ensure your pet has a decent walk throughout the day
“Anna and family were absolutely brilliant! Our dog Reg stayed with them overnight while we went to a concert, and he had a wonderful time! Lovely big garden to run around in, and the kids played with him and gave him lots of attention. He seemed very happy and chilled out when we picked him up, and he didn't seem to have missed us at all! I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for an overnight dog sitter. Thank you, Anna and family; we really appreciate how well you looked after our Reg!”
“Reggie had a fantastic three night stay with Jenny. From our first meeting to the stay, communication has been great. During the stay, Jenny sent us plenty of updates and photos, including on his walks. He was having such a lovely time we were a bit worried Reggie wouldn't want to come home! I would definitely recommend Jenny.”
“Rhiannan is a fantastic dog sitter - She is highly caring and in-tune with the care needs of our goldie Digby… We would never hesitate to book in with her and trust her completely with our pooch ☺️”

“Oliver was an absolutely fantastic cat-sitter and we will definitely book with him again. Our cats were well looked after, and his communication and daily pictures were wonderful. Thanks Oliver! ”
“Anna was so lovely and looked after my cat for a few days over Christmas. she was very communicative and i found the photos and updates to be very helpful. she even cleaned up the litter that my cat decides to spread all over the floor which was so kind of her! i will definitely be using her again in the future.”
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.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🐾”
“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!”
“Brad was great with Artemis and followed our instructions with playing / food / litter. He even stayed more than 30 mins one of the two times which I’m sure Arty really appreciated. I definitely hope to book again with him soon!”
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.
“Another really EXCELLENT visit by Carla today. Despite the rain Carla fed and took my dogs out. She also towelled them dry and cleaned the mud spattered across my hallway walls, staying extra time to do that. Really good and caring sitter, already booked for next week!”
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 :)”
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.
“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.”
“Sue was fantastic. A lovely, warm person who hit it off with my cat, Joe. Upon introduction some days earlier, it was obvious Joe was going to be happy. Sue asked lots of questions about Joe's likes, dislikes and habits. It suited Joe much better to have someone stay overnight, despite waking Sue at some unearthly hour one morning . Sorry Sue! It was ideal as Joe is not used to being on his own very much, and certainly not overnight. This also meant he could use the garden as and when, rather than being kept in. One happy cat, one happy owner. I would highly recommend Sue.”

“Fabulous sitters! Our little 10 week old puppy had the best day with them! He came back very content and happy ☺️ Both took some time before the booking to meet him and asking appropriate questions about care needs. Had updates throughout the day and very flexible with drop off/pick up times. Maverick can’t wait for his next day with you both!”
“Yves was absolutely brilliant with my Masha! She was responsive and easy to plan with, making the whole process seamless. Throughout the day, she kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I could tell that Masha loved being there and was well cared for. I would definitely recommend Yves and will absolutely be asking her to look after Masha again!”
“Danielle really looked after Eddie and Joey and was cheerful and her helpful throughout. The dogs were happy and relaxed when I picked them up and I would recommend her unreservedly.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We couldn’t recommend Tilly highly enough. From the very first moment, she showed such a calm, thoughtful and genuinely caring approach, always putting Romy’s comfort and wellbeing first. She really took the time to help her feel relaxed and at ease, which made a huge difference for us. Throughout the day, Romy was clearly in the best hands. When we picked her up, she was completely herself: happy, confident and relaxed… and once we got home, she collapsed straight into a deep sleep, which says everything about how much positive activity, play and engagement she’d had! It’s obvious that Tilly truly understands dogs and creates a lovely, balanced environment, especially with her own sweet cockapoo, Lila. Romy had an amazing time, and we felt totally reassured knowing she was being cared for so thoughtfully. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Tilly again and would warmly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind and fantastic dog sitter. Thank you so much, Tilly! Romy can’t wait to come back! 🐾💛”
“Rosalind was amazing with Winky!! Super flexible with our pick up and drop off times, and fab communication throughout the day! 10/10 would defs recommend and use again. Thank you!! x”

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.
“Carla was absolutely brilliant with Romy. She was very quick to reply to messages and kept us constantly updated, sending photos almost every hour, which was really reassuring. Romy is only a 5-month-old puppy, so we were a bit nervous at first, but Carla made her feel comfortable straight away. Just a few hours after we dropped her off, Romy was already happily curled up having a nap on the sofa: relaxed, calm and clearly at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better day care experience and would happily recommend Carla to anyone, especially with young puppies.”
About: I am an experienced dog owner, and fosterer for a couple of rescues. I have fostered lots of different breeds from Yorkshire terriers and dachshunds, to poodles and pomskys! I am confident handling nervous and quirky dogs. I welcome every dog into my home as if they are my own. I work for a dog food company and my whole live revolves around giving dogs the best life possible. I work fully remotely from home with flexible hours so I can adapt my routine to fit your dogs needs. Typically our routine is made up of 3 walks a day, and a last wee break before bed! But I can cater to any needs and requirements. I have a fully fenced (6ft) enclosed garden, dogs have full access to when required via patio doors. I have 2 friendly resident dogs - a 14kg mixed breed female and a 9kg male poodle. Both are neutered & are rescues but are used to dogs coming and going! I do have a house cat, but he can be kept separately from any visiting dogs as and when necessary. Dogs are allowed in my bedroom / bed at night if needed.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I’ve left my dog Rex with Rosie a few times for daycare and also boarding and he’s always so pleased to see her. Rosie has a really good energy that puts him at ease. She is also always understanding and considerate when communicating which makes leaving rex with her very easy. She’s been so awesome with Rex that she’s always the first choice for us whenever we visit central Exeter. Can’t recommend her enough 😊”
“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”
“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 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’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 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

“Lucy has been amazing with Bertie! She has been super reliable, kept us updated on him and how his walks have been and a really great communicator. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”
“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.”

“Sophie comes highly recommended. She was very personable, trustworthy, and responsible, with great communications, she had great time keeping and her manner gave me every confidence to entrust her with my dog who had a great day of walks, care and company. Many thanks Sophie!”

About: Hi! I’m currently a postgraduate student living in the UK.

“I can not recommend Anna enough. I gave Anna next to no notice this morning due to being let down, unfortunately these thing happen. I was obviously stressed and was in a bit of a pickle. Anna responded almost immediately and came to the rescue. Kirby my 9 month old husky took to her kind nature straight away and we honestly cant thank or recommend highly enough.”
“Above and beyond ! Thank you Imogen the dogs had a lovely time, they look really happy in the photos. On time, great communication, special attention to every detail. Will definitely call on Imogen again.”
About: I have 2 adorable cockapoos (born 2016 and 2025), having trained both from 8 weeks old.

I can currently dedicate my full-time to caring for your pets 7 days a week and can be available at short notice to offer maximum flexibility I have a large fenced garden, large indoor space and have 2 friendly cockapoos to help entertain your dogs. I can take crates if this offers your dog comfort and I’m close to some good walking routes.
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: We've had our own family dog for 5 years now and bred our own puppies - keeping 2 of them. I've always loved walking them, and playing with them and am brilliant at long or fast walks designed to tire them out so you can watch them peacefully sleep all day without trouble and watch them be excited for their next walk or playdate I'm a uni student, so have quite an irregular timetable but plenty of time during the morning, day and evening for pets if worked out in advance. I can be very upfront about when I'm available and also generally have weekends free. I will strive to always talk to you about boundaries and rules for your pet before being left with them, as well as for myself. I keep a watchful eye on the pets - I'll always subconsciously want to be playing with them regardless
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

“This was our first time leaving Lucca with dog sitters. Being a rescue dog and having had a difficult start to life, we wanted to be sure that we were leaving him with the right people and in the right environment. 4 years it took us to find Talita, Neil and their dog Mala. It was well worth the wait. Lucca and Mala appeared to have a great time together and most importantly plenty of exercise and then time to relax and chill out. The most reassuring thing about this two night stay was the regular photos, videos and updates that were provided over the 3 days. It helped us relax in the knowledge that Lucca was having a fun time and being very well card for. Thank you so much to Talita, Neil and Mala for welcoming Lucca into your home and taking such great care of him.”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Yves!! Drew had an absolutely perfect week with her & Nick & sent me gorgeous daily photos and videos & kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind initially but also brought me so much joy as I missed her so much. She was so well taken care of & had an amazing social life going to a family bbq & out & about locally to parks & gardens every day & socialising with other dogs. I thoroughly recommend Yves, especially as Drew is not fully housetrained due to her age & being a Frenchie, she wasn’t phased in the slightest & has become very fond of Drew - I’m booking her again for two weeks time! Thank you so much Yves & Nick for making Drew so happy & treating her as if she were your own, she certainly loves you ♥️”
“I’m usually an overprotective dog mum but I had no doubts that Darran would be a trustworthy dog sitter. We dropped Gigi off for a night and she was comfortable around him which can be difficult for her. Darran is an expert when it comes to dogs, a very calming aura that reassured our pup that she is in safe hands. We are now going to be repeat customers 🌸”
“Brilliant communication from the beginning, very accommodating and was very thoughtful of a dog's needs in the very hot weather. Very thankful she was available, enjoyed the photo's, our pet had a lovely stay.”
“I am both glad and relieved that we found Danielle, we were so worried about leaving him with somebody new. We were given constant updates and sent photos of him, clearly enjoying his stay. It made our weekend away so much more relaxing, without the worry of Arthur being safe and happy. He even bonded with her two year old son, who was quite upset when we came to collect him. We will definitely use Danielle again and cannot thank her enough for her care and communication.”
“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!”
“Sidney's stay with Greg was really great !! I got many pictures update about my boy during his stay. He seemed happy, taken care of and comfortable. When I picked him up, he was in great condition. Greg and his partner are really dog lovers, they provided everything Sidney needed during my absence. I would book another stay with them in heartbeat, next time I'm out of town. Thank you guys !!!”
“Sabrina et Valérie ont pris grand soin de Maui, notre petit compagnon à quatre pattes. Nous recevions chaque jour des photos montrent Maui s'amusant lors de promenades et se relaxant sur le divan à côté de Valérie ou Sabrina... Ils ont pris soin de Maui comme s'il était le leur. Maui nous est retourné tellement calme - nous sommes contents d’avoir trouvé une deuxième maison pour Maui!!”
“Tilly did a fantastic job of looking after our terrier Buzz for the evening while we saw friends. She sent lots of photo updates and it was clear to see he was having a fab time with his new friends. Thanks Tilly, we will definitely be rebooking you in the future!”
“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.”
“Megan was very good with her communications - we had no problems with meeting up/dropping off/ pick up - all went smoothly. She was obviously interested in keeping Bertie happy and knowing what he likes/is used to. He settled in well and I’m sure he enjoyed his stay. Thank you very much for your excellent care Megan.”
“Izzy took great care of our pup Hendy while we were away. She seemed to have a great time and receiving a picture on the first day was reassuring as this was her first time away from home!”
“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!”
About: I've had dogs most of life: as loved family pets and taking care of friends and neighbours dogs for long and short stays. I love going out on the beach for a long walk with them, up on the common or playing games at home. I have 1 family dog who comes to stay often who is blind so I'm used to dogs who need a bit more love and attention. We'll start with a morning walk on the beach or the Maer, some breakfast and then a couple of hours down time until a lunch time wander. After work, we'll have a longer walk over the cliffs, on the common or along the beach. Can play fetch or other games and then home for a chilled evening. I work full time mostly from home and only have doggos to stay on days I am at home. I can use a crate for your dog if needed, or have plenty of space for a bed of theirs. They can bring toys over too. I don't have a garden but live right by the beach and gardens and can go out during the day as well as morning and after work if they need it. I'm happy to have your dog overnight too.
“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!”
“Rhiannan is a fantastic dog sitter - She is highly caring and in-tune with the care needs of our goldie Digby… We would never hesitate to book in with her and trust her completely with our pooch ☺️”
About: I am a very responsible person with a lot of experience when it comes to petsitting, I am well informed of all the care your fur-baby might need and what dogs and cats are allergic to as well. I have done petsitting for the past 2 years for friends, neighbours and other people who found me online. I also do volunteering at animal shelters so I know how to approach unfamiliar dogs and tricky situations. I am a very loving and gentle person who simply adores animals! I am currently unemployed seeking this as my permanent job! Doing what I love is always been my dream and this fits perfectly into that category. I am sure to give them loads of love and attention, attending to their needs is very important to me as they do not have the words to communicate to me what they need, it is important to keep a schedule with them on when to feed them, take on a potty break or give them some affection. I take very good care of my fur-babies and look forward to taking care of yours with the same level of care and protection.
