Personalised care for your dog or cat - Hartland

“Very friendly family! It’s my first time using a board and I was nervous about leaving my dogs! I got updates on how they were (treated like the family) and they were so genuinely caring towards my dogs! Would recommend to anyone! :)”

Rhian T.

“Chloe was amazing. Looked after Rosie so well it was home from home. Rosie had a great time and we will definitely be booking her again soon. Thank you Chloe.”

Teresa C.

“I booked at the last minute, but the response was prompt and everything was handled with ease. Communication was excellent throughout, with plenty of updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. My dog was very well looked after and came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”

Sol L.

“My labradoodle Davey had the most amazing time with Isabelle. She is a super-nanny for dogs with lots of walks, play dates, puppiccinos and doggie muffins and even a coconut scented bubble bath just before being collected. Davey was happy and relaxed when I arrived. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle x”

Tertia H.

“Catherine looked after Olive while we were visiting Devon for a wedding. Olive had a lovely time playing at the beach and we’d highly recommend booking if you’re looking for a dog sitter in the area!”

Madeleine F.

“Natasja looked after our dog over the weekend and she was just fantastic. Super long walks and a lot of fuss. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I will definitely book again. I highly recommend Natasja.”

Claire W.

“Boo and Rob have a very calming energy which enabled Alpha to feel comfortable and settle in. He was able to socialise with other dogs they were boarding (pre-agreed) which was great for him, also. I received regular updates/pictures etc so I knew he was good. I highly recommend Boo, and I've already booked Alpha in with her again.”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.

“Our Deefer was so happy and relaxed as soon as walking into lees home. I got regular updates and Deefer was having lots of fun. Lee shows genuine care and love to the dogs and I felt so happy knowing my baby was not only taken care of but enjoying his time. A really friendly lovely man. Deefer will definetly be back again, highly recommend.”

Josephine R.

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m passionate about walking dogs, giving them exercise, attention and companionship, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take pride in providing reliable, loving care whilst you are away. Im currently working full time as a teaching assistant, I am available from after 4pm on weekdays and any time during the day on the weekends. If needed to on weekdays I am more than happy to walk before my shift starts this would be from 7am-8am. My home is a very dog friendly area, no low counters, doors in every room and a small but safe back garden and a box full of healthy and tasty treats.

“Good communication and Katherine was a caring sitter”

Ian K.

About: Fully insured, DBS checked, Pet first aid and Pet Sitting Diploma. I have lifelong experience caring for animals, having grown up with family pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits), caring for farm animals from my uncles farm (piglets, calves and chickens etc.). This passion and care has continued into adulthood. I currently care for my own pets and have gained professional experience through Pawfect Companions, providing reliable and compassionate care for animals in their own homes. My experience includes dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic care and medication, ensuring animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has unique needs and always tailor my care to suit their personality, routine, and wellbeing. I also have a background in safeguarding and community support. Animals have always been a part of my life, a household does feel like home without a one 🐾 Working full time remotely allows me to be flexible to meet your needs. Finally living my dream building up a pet care and dog walking business Barnstaple based with surrounding areas My pet care services are animal centred to your pets needs. Services are tailored and personalised to all care needs. Lots of cuddles and love, treated like my own

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to big goofy gentle giants. That experience only grew stronger at home with my own crazy, lovable German Shorthaired Pointer, Bear, who keeps life full of energy, chaos, and laughs. I bring that same mix of care, patience, and playful enthusiasm to every dog I look after—treating each one like part of the family, celebrating every zoomie, and making sure tails are wagging from start to finish. A typical day for me is a cosy mix of stay-at-home mum life with my one year old little boy and Bear, who both believe every morning should start with enthusiasm, noise, and absolutely no lie-ins. My day usually flows between naps, snacks, laundry, and the usual mum multitasking—always with Bear right in the middle of it all, supervising like she runs the household. Walks, playtime, and little pockets of chaos are woven through the day, whether it’s a quick dash outside with Bear or an impromptu zoomie session in the garden. Evenings are for winding down with family time, a tired but happy dog, and that comforting kind of chaos that comes with a full, love-filled home. I’m also available at weekends, offering the same care, cuddles, and cheerful chaos—perfect for when your dog needs a little extra love while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I make sure my home is fully pet-friendly and secure, with anything potentially harmful safely out of reach and doors, gates, and bins properly secured. I create a warm, cosy space where dogs can relax and feel completely at home, with fresh water always available and a quiet spot if they need a break from all the excitement. Our days are a happy mix of walks, playtime, and cuddles, along with life at home playing alongside my 1-year-old little boy—so there’s always a bit of extra giggles, gentle chaos, and lots of love to go around. I follow a calm, consistent routine so every dog feels settled and secure, and I always keep a close eye on them as they become part of our little family. With plenty of care, attention, and a home full of warmth (and wagging tails), I aim to make every dog feel safe, happy, and completely adored while in my care. 🐾💛

“Jet & Shadow had a lovely time with Maz & Coco with lots of fresh air and exercise. Maz kept us updated with photos of the dogs out walking and having cuddles on the sofa. Jet & Shadow were happy and relaxed when we picked them up, and fell asleep almost as soon as we got home! Thank you for looking after them so well Maz & Coco: we'll definitely book with you again!”

Lisa C.

About: I grew up with cats, and they have always been present in my life. I even took care of one in Bristol while I was a student in Bristol, and worked in the 'Bag O Nails', a famous cat pub in the city centre. I have also looked after cats when volunteering in sanctuaries across Europe and Africa. I have also cat sat locally on numerous occasions.

About: From a bustling household with five cats, a loyal dog, and majestic horses to rescuing two dogs from dire circumstances, my life has always been intertwined with animals. As a lifelong animal lover, I've become the go-to person for pet care among friends and family, nurturing every creature with the love and attention they deserve. Passionate about the great outdoors, I find joy in embarking on long walks with dogs, exploring nature's beauty and ensuring our furry friends get the exercise and excitement they crave. My professional background as a freelance chef enriches my ability to cater not just to human tastes but to canine palates as well. Yes, I whip up dog-friendly meals that are both nutritious and delicious, tailored to make mealtime a joy for your pet. Travel is a passion of mine, but when I'm home, I offer a safe and welcoming environment for your dog. My garden is fully dog-proof, ensuring a secure space for play and relaxation. Located walking distance from some of the best dune walks, your dog will enjoy endless adventures, just a paw's step away from home. In trusting your beloved dog with me, you're not just ensuring they have a sitter — you're giving them a friend who understands and shares an innate love for all creatures, great and small. Together, we'll make sure your dog's stay is as joyful and enriching as possible. I am a freelance chef. I have an events catering company, which means I have a lot of free time in-between big events. I especially have time over the winter months and the majority of my work is during the summer (weddings). I have a dog safe garden, which is big enough for a good run around. I have a work from home lifestyle, which means I have loads of time to walk, play and cuddle with your dog. I am passionate about walking and have access to incredible walks right from my house.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and for 11 wonderful years, I had the joy of sharing my life with a Cavachon who I really miss. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, love, routine, and understanding the unique personalities of our pets. After he passed, I realised how much I missed the companionship that animals bring. Becoming a pet sitter allows me to share that love and experience with others, offering their pets the same level of care and attention I gave my own. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your furry family member, and I’m here to provide just that—gentle, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet's needs. I work flexible part time so have good availability during week days and weekends. I am based in between Worcestershire, Bristol and Westward Ho so can cover these areas When caring for pets in your own home, I aim to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to your instructions and their regular routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure they feel loved and comforted while you're away. I treat your home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I can offer loving and fun one to one care of your pet in your home. I had my own dog until a year ago - from a puppy to 17 years old! So experienced in all ages. You can be assured that your pet will have all my attention. I work flexibly part time remotely with occasional telephone calls of no more than an hour. I offer beach and country walks either on or off the lead. I only take one dog at a time (or multiple dogs if from that same family) so I can give them all my attention.

“Runa had the best time with Dale and Rex! At such short notice I couldn’t have asked for better care for Runa during the heatwave. Dale was so good with her and made sure to keep her cool with access to the paddling pool and lots of water and shade. She had a blast with her new best buddy Rex. Thanks so much Dale! Would highly recommend and would certainly use again! Runa had a gorgeous time x”

Kareni L.

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals, especially dogs and cats, as I grew up with a highly intelligent German Shepherd who was my family. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for many different breeds - Border Collies, Retrievers, Dachshunds, Samoyed, English Spaniels/Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers, Toy Poodles, Cockapoos, French Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Pomeranians, Goldendoodles, Wire Fox Terriers, Pugs, and of course Shepherds, as well as many cats, giving me years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve also spent time walking and playing with dogs at a shelter (many wonderful mixed breeds), so I understand how to care for pets with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Since moving to the UK, I don’t have pets of my own yet, so it would be an absolute pleasure to care for yours! Whether it’s puppy care, playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m here to provide loving, attentive, and responsible care. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to be available any day of the week for pet care. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to their routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I live on a farm with plenty of open space for dogs to walk, run, and play freely. If caring for pets in their owner's home, I ensure they feel secure and relaxed by sticking to their familiar routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they are always well-fed, exercised, and cared for. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🐾

“Chloe is very professional. Very efficient at responding to my first enquiry regarding looking after our cavapoo. Having a super responsive reply really helps in our busy world!! She gave me updates on Bobby's visit and I had no doubts she looked after our dog to the very best of her ability, with lots of care and attention. I will most definitely use chloe again as Bobby loved his first stay with her. Thanks again chloe 😁”

“Amazing service, and so friendly and easy :)”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.

“Kit had a wonderful day with Caitlin and Hugh - he came home and slept and slept! Thanks for keeping him entertained and for sending me pictures of fun in the park. Much appreciated that you were able to come and drop Kit off as well. We'll see you again soon!”

Claire H.

“Elka has looked after our dog Lyra on a number of occasions, including for one week whilst we were on holiday. Lyra clearly has a great time as she gets very excited when we get to Elka’s house! She always gives Lyra plenty of exercise and takes her out and about with her. Elka’s communication is great, both in advance of the booking and whilst Lyra is with her. We will definitely continue to book Elka as Lyra is clearly well cared for.”

Rachael R.

About: We have owned a rescue greyhound for a few years now and so have plenty of experience with quiet and nervous dogs. He has come on leaps and bounds since adoption! We often look after our friend’s retriever, and have also looked after numerous sighthounds. My partner and I are full-time workers but both work from home and so will always be around to give dogs all the love and attention they need! We provide a calm and comfortable space for dogs whilst in our home. We have six foot fencing and a nice long garden for them to stretch their legs! Our garden backs directly onto a long secluded trail where we do our daily walks. Dogs will always be kept on the lead.

About: I've had a number of dogs (Akita's)and a couple of rabbits as you can see from the photo they are well looked after . . With at least a day notice in advance I'm capable of rearranging things to accommodate my clients most times . . . . . .

“Michael’s family are so in love with dogs that it’s clear to see from the second we Winnie entered their home. We were at a wedding and so naturally nervous about leaving our little girl for the whole day, but we had regular updates, pictures and stories. Winnie even got to enjoy a trip to the beach! It was so comforting knowing that she was in safe hands, and we will 100% be rebooking the next time we are in Devon for an event and need Winnie taken care of.”

Robert C.

About: Growing up in a dog friendly house, I’ve had the opportunity to be surrounded by dogs my entire life without ever owning one (unfortunately). I’ve had a year of experience walking dogs (professionally) but many more (just for fun). I’ve had experience walking a range of different breeds, weights and temperaments so I feel comfortable looking after all dogs. I live in a very chilled out flat next 2 minutes from a park so I feel that any dog would feel welcomed and comfortable, rather than feeling agitated (due to being cooped up). I’m a very hyperactive person so whichever dog I’m sitting would be spending most of their time walking rather than inside (unless instructed against this). My girlfriend recently started walking and sitting dogs through rover so I’ve experienced what it’s like to have anxious and boisterous dogs stay the night and I’ve loved every minute of it. I genuinely love all animals so this would be such a mutually beneficial gig for me and the owner. I currently go to university Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; I finish the academic year 9th of may so am free from then. I work at a club on weekends but I can choose my shifts so if I have a weekend booking then I will more than likely be free. I live 2 minutes from a park so can take the dog/s out really easily. I always make sure to give them plenty of walks and attention, making sure that they are active and living a fulfilled life.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to big goofy gentle giants. That experience only grew stronger at home with my own crazy, lovable German Shorthaired Pointer, Bear, who keeps life full of energy, chaos, and laughs. I bring that same mix of care, patience, and playful enthusiasm to every dog I look after—treating each one like part of the family, celebrating every zoomie, and making sure tails are wagging from start to finish. A typical day for me is a cosy mix of stay-at-home mum life with my one year old little boy and Bear, who both believe every morning should start with enthusiasm, noise, and absolutely no lie-ins.

Walks, playtime, and little pockets of chaos are woven through the day, whether it’s a quick dash outside with Bear or an impromptu zoomie session in the garden. Evenings are for winding down with family time, a tired but happy dog, and that comforting kind of chaos that comes with a full, love-filled home.

“Nicky was absolutely fantastic. We came down for a wedding so she had both the bride and grooms dog Roo and Pip. They had sn amazing time together. Nicky took them for amazing walks in both countryside and on the beach. Nicky was so flexible and her love of all animals was obvious. We were very lucky and privileged to find Nicky and Pip will have lots of happy memories of his mini break”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had dogs in my life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels and routines. While I’m new to dog walking professionally, I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, basic training and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I understand how important it is for owners to know their dogs are safe and well cared for. I offer one-on-one dog walks, taking dogs on local countryside routes. Walks are 30–60 minutes, giving each dog safe, supervised exercise and attention. I schedule multiple walks per day and can accommodate several dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently care for three dogs, so I understand different personalities and routines. I will provide safe walks and follow any instructions from the owner to keep their pets happy and secure.

About: I am passionate about working with dogs, and I’m an experienced dog walker / sitter. I have volunteered in Dog sanctuaries across Europe and Africa, dealing with dogs of all different breeds, ages and health conditions. I have a full, clean drivers license and own my own car! I work as a freelance Animator out of my studio in Penryn. As I work for myself I am able to structure my days around my animal care commitments, which take priority when scheduling my calendar. I believe it is a big responsibility taking care of someones beloved pet, and I treat animals and other peoples homes with the utmost respect. I am very adaptable and understand that all animals are different and need different sorts of care. I am an excellent communicator, and will work with the owner to provide the best care possible for each pet.

About: I'm a qualified dog walker and pet sitter. I have qualified in level 2 animal care, level 2 vet nursing and level 3 pet first aid. I have grown up with a variety of different types of pets. I have been working with dogs for the last 8 years. I work with your pets during the day and then I have an evening job that is 3 hours and not related to animals. The evening job is near my home, so I will only do it if I'm on local sits. I will put your dogs in a crate or a safe room in the house, if I'm going out to the shops. I make sure outside space is safe for your pet.

Look forward to hearing from you! I am currently busy monday-friday but can be available at weekends Saturday or Sunday.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I pet sat during university and my masters, as well as when I first graduated. I am now back as I miss it and want to meet more pets again. I have my own two dogs and love taking them on the best days out When I house sit I am more than happy to take care of domestic needs too such as gardening, plant care and cleaning, as I know how important it is to come home to a clean house! Please message me for more bespoke requests as Rover can only list so much, but I am more than happy to try to accommodate your animals as much as possible! I currently work for myself as a clothing embroiderer so my schedule is relatively relaxed and can fit around your pet and their needs 😊 I have a fenced garden so my dogs are always safe and secure, and my rabbits also have a hutch and a run to make sure they're safe

About: From a bustling household with five cats, a loyal dog, and majestic horses to rescuing two dogs from dire circumstances, my life has always been intertwined with animals. As a lifelong animal lover, I've become the go-to person for pet care among friends and family, nurturing every creature with the love and attention they deserve. Passionate about the great outdoors, I find joy in embarking on long walks with dogs, exploring nature's beauty and ensuring our furry friends get the exercise and excitement they crave. My professional background as a freelance chef enriches my ability to cater not just to human tastes but to canine palates as well. Yes, I whip up dog-friendly meals that are both nutritious and delicious, tailored to make mealtime a joy for your pet. Travel is a passion of mine, but when I'm home, I offer a safe and welcoming environment for your dog. My garden is fully dog-proof, ensuring a secure space for play and relaxation. Located walking distance from some of the best dune walks, your dog will enjoy endless adventures, just a paw's step away from home. In trusting your beloved dog with me, you're not just ensuring they have a sitter — you're giving them a friend who understands and shares an innate love for all creatures, great and small. Together, we'll make sure your dog's stay is as joyful and enriching as possible. I am a freelance chef. I have an events catering company, which means I have a lot of free time in-between big events. I especially have time over the winter months and the majority of my work is during the summer (weddings). I have a dog safe garden, which is big enough for a good run around. I have a work from home lifestyle, which means I have loads of time to walk, play and cuddle with your dog. I am passionate about walking and have access to incredible walks right from my house.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and for 11 wonderful years, I had the joy of sharing my life with a Cavachon who I really miss. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, love, routine, and understanding the unique personalities of our pets. After he passed, I realised how much I missed the companionship that animals bring. Becoming a pet sitter allows me to share that love and experience with others, offering their pets the same level of care and attention I gave my own. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your furry family member, and I’m here to provide just that—gentle, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet's needs. I work flexible part time so have good availability during week days and weekends. I am based in between Worcestershire, Bristol and Westward Ho so can cover these areas When caring for pets in your own home, I aim to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to your instructions and their regular routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure they feel loved and comforted while you're away. I treat your home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“My labradoodle Davey had the most amazing time with Isabelle. She is a super-nanny for dogs with lots of walks, play dates, puppiccinos and doggie muffins and even a coconut scented bubble bath just before being collected. Davey was happy and relaxed when I arrived. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle x”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.

“Our Deefer was so happy and relaxed as soon as walking into lees home. I got regular updates and Deefer was having lots of fun. Lee shows genuine care and love to the dogs and I felt so happy knowing my baby was not only taken care of but enjoying his time. A really friendly lovely man. Deefer will definetly be back again, highly recommend.”

Ian K.

About: Fully insured, DBS checked, Pet first aid and Pet Sitting Diploma. I have lifelong experience caring for animals, having grown up with family pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits), caring for farm animals from my uncles farm (piglets, calves and chickens etc.). This passion and care has continued into adulthood. I currently care for my own pets and have gained professional experience through Pawfect Companions, providing reliable and compassionate care for animals in their own homes. My experience includes dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic care and medication, ensuring animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has unique needs and always tailor my care to suit their personality, routine, and wellbeing. I also have a background in safeguarding and community support. Animals have always been a part of my life, a household does feel like home without a one 🐾 Working full time remotely allows me to be flexible to meet your needs. Finally living my dream building up a pet care and dog walking business Barnstaple based with surrounding areas My pet care services are animal centred to your pets needs. Services are tailored and personalised to all care needs. Lots of cuddles and love, treated like my own

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to big goofy gentle giants. That experience only grew stronger at home with my own crazy, lovable German Shorthaired Pointer, Bear, who keeps life full of energy, chaos, and laughs. I bring that same mix of care, patience, and playful enthusiasm to every dog I look after—treating each one like part of the family, celebrating every zoomie, and making sure tails are wagging from start to finish. A typical day for me is a cosy mix of stay-at-home mum life with my one year old little boy and Bear, who both believe every morning should start with enthusiasm, noise, and absolutely no lie-ins. My day usually flows between naps, snacks, laundry, and the usual mum multitasking—always with Bear right in the middle of it all, supervising like she runs the household. Walks, playtime, and little pockets of chaos are woven through the day, whether it’s a quick dash outside with Bear or an impromptu zoomie session in the garden. Evenings are for winding down with family time, a tired but happy dog, and that comforting kind of chaos that comes with a full, love-filled home. I’m also available at weekends, offering the same care, cuddles, and cheerful chaos—perfect for when your dog needs a little extra love while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I make sure my home is fully pet-friendly and secure, with anything potentially harmful safely out of reach and doors, gates, and bins properly secured. I create a warm, cosy space where dogs can relax and feel completely at home, with fresh water always available and a quiet spot if they need a break from all the excitement. Our days are a happy mix of walks, playtime, and cuddles, along with life at home playing alongside my 1-year-old little boy—so there’s always a bit of extra giggles, gentle chaos, and lots of love to go around. I follow a calm, consistent routine so every dog feels settled and secure, and I always keep a close eye on them as they become part of our little family. With plenty of care, attention, and a home full of warmth (and wagging tails), I aim to make every dog feel safe, happy, and completely adored while in my care. 🐾💛

“Jet & Shadow had a lovely time with Maz & Coco with lots of fresh air and exercise. Maz kept us updated with photos of the dogs out walking and having cuddles on the sofa. Jet & Shadow were happy and relaxed when we picked them up, and fell asleep almost as soon as we got home! Thank you for looking after them so well Maz & Coco: we'll definitely book with you again!”

“Our 12 year old Lurcher has been lucky enough to spend two holidays with Chatlotte and her wonderful family. They have been very sensitive to Loulou's needs and intergrated her into their warm, loving and calm home. They have taken care of her medical needs by administering cream to a sore patch. Charlotte offers a safe, reliable and highly recommended service, that is sensitive to your pets physical and mental needs. We won't hesitate to ask her to have Loulou to stay again.”

Serena L.

About: Neighbors and family have relied upon me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs, cats and other pets. I have 1 dog who lives with me part time, that I walk daily, feed, and groom. We also have 2 cats that lives at home with me full time. I currently do not work so I can be available to meet your pet's needs at any time that suits you and your pet's needs. I am currently working through animal care courses with first aid and general day to day care. I will keep an eye on your pet when/if they have toys out or chewable treats. If they need to go out for walks I will make sure they have the appropriate kit needed and will keep them on the leash unless specified. When they are outside in the garden I will make sure that they are supervised aswell.

“Sophie was such a lovely person and was so kind to our William, i would definitely recommend Sophie,”
