Personalised care for your dog or cat - Hartland

“Our girls had the absolute BEST weekend with Isabelle, it really was a home from home environment for them. They even sulked for the next few days and definitely missed her after coming home! Fab communication, with lots of updates - would be very happy leaving them with her again, knowing that they are safe and spoilt! We were worried as this was our first time leaving our nervous lurchers with anyone other than family, but Isabelle was reassuring, understanding and kind from the start. Would recommend to anyone!”

“I think Lucy and her family looked after Daisy and Hollie very well and came back happy and we have asked her if she would look after them again for us and Lucy said yes”

Michelle H.

“Amazing family, my needy Cockapoo was so happy with them. They looked after him so well and really treated him as part of the family. Would highly recommend 😍😍”

Tracy M.

“Millie and Dan were amazing looking after my dachshund lunatics. We got daily updates and loads of pictures of all their adventures. Millie allows the dogs to feel at home, and creates a very relaxed environment for the dogs. My dogs came home in very good conditions and very content. We will definitely rebook when we go on our next holiday.”

Ane B.

“Thanks so much Bob! Amber had a fantastic stay with you, I don’t think she wanted to come home 😂 highly recommend, there was loads of garden and fields to run around, I had regular updates and photos. Will definitely be booking 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.”

Chantalle G.

“A home from home. Dale and Scott looked after Fergus like he was their own. They gave Fergus lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. Their outside space is safe and secure and location is perfect for long safe walks off lead. We were sent regular photo updates of Fergus’s sleepover and fun he was having out and about.”

Andrea C.

“Maz and Coco looked after Henry really well. Henry looked like he was having the time of his life, and with the amount of updates we received we knew he was in safe hands. We will rebook in the future, and would recommend Maz to friends.”

Ben K.

“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.

Fay F.

“Michael was great with Ralph. Kept him busy on walks, playing, training tricks etc. Was also very communicative and sent lots of photos for the duration of his stay. Lovely house, big enclosed garden. Ralph had a great time and my mind was at rest leaving him there 😊”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and will always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, toilet breaks, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and provide regular attention and care. As an experienced dog owner and former cat owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet's routine, and treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets.

“Boo is the most kindest and thoughtful person. I received photos and updates throughout my puppy's stay, which was reassuring as it was his first time away from home. Boo ensured my puppy had all the love and attention he needed, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you Boo, I know Larry can't wait to come back 🥰”

About: Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. Having previously owned three wonderful dogs of my own, I deeply understand canine behaviour, different energy levels, and how important a consistent routine is for a dog's happiness. Neighbours and family members frequently rely on me for dedicated dog walking, feeding schedules and bath times. I am also fully comfortable and experienced with managing medical needs, whether that involves administering oral medications, following strict supplement schedules, or caring for senior dogs who need a gentler touch. Whether your pup needs a high-energy walk, structured play, or a cosy environment for holiday care. I provide a safe and loving home away from home. I am fully committed to treating your dog like a member of my own family. I am also a proud parent to two indoor cats who live with me full-time. However, please do not worry if your pup isn't a fan of felines! My home layout allows me to easily separate them, and I am more than happy to fully accommodate and adjust my routine for dogs that do not like cats. Your dog's safety, health, and comfort are my absolute top priorities. As I do not work currently I have full-time flexibility to dedicate my entire day to your pet's specific routine and needs. Whether they require flexible drop-off times, mid-day attention, or constant companionship, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit yours perfectly. To provide the absolute best care possible, I am currently completing Animal Care Courses. Your pet’s safety is my absolute top priority. I maintain close supervision at all times. I actively monitor all playtime, ensuring your pet is safe when enjoying toys or chewable treats. When heading out for walks, I double check that they have the appropriate gear whether that is a collar or harness. For their protection, I keep all dogs firmly on the lead unless you explicitly specify that they have reliable recall and are allowed off lead. When at home, I always make sure they are also supervised outside in the garden as well.

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! 🐾

“We were staying in Bude, and while visiting Cornwall wanted to do some activities where dogs are not allowed. At first we found it difficult to search for doggy day care and then we came across Rover and Dale's Doggy Day Care. We were nervous to leave our dog, Wafer with a stranger, in an area we didn't know. Dale was very welcoming and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Our dog is very friendly, however at first seemed a bit nervous to meet Rex, Dayle's dog. Dale took the time to help Wafer settle in and within minutes of us leaving we received pictures of our dog enjoying the place. The second day, Wafer was still a little bit nervous to stay, which didn't help us feel good about leaving him for another day. Dale was quickly on the case to help him settle again and the videos we received showed us how happy Wafer was, once we left. Of course, as always, noone is as happy to see you as your dog! Wafer was happy to be back with us and tired, ready to relax, which was great for us 👍🏼 Wafer's profile picture on Rover is one of the photos we received from Dale ❤️ We would thoroughly recommend Dale's Doggy Day Care and left his details with our campsite!”

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!

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.

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.

“Our girls had the absolute BEST weekend with Isabelle, it really was a home from home environment for them. They even sulked for the next few days and definitely missed her after coming home! Fab communication, with lots of updates - would be very happy leaving them with her again, knowing that they are safe and spoilt! We were worried as this was our first time leaving our nervous lurchers with anyone other than family, but Isabelle was reassuring, understanding and kind from the start. Would recommend to anyone!”

Roseanna L.

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.”

“A home from home. Dale and Scott looked after Fergus like he was their own. They gave Fergus lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. Their outside space is safe and secure and location is perfect for long safe walks off lead. We were sent regular photo updates of Fergus’s sleepover and fun he was having out and about.”

“Maz and Coco looked after Henry really well. Henry looked like he was having the time of his life, and with the amount of updates we received we knew he was in safe hands. We will rebook in the future, and would recommend Maz to friends.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and will always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, toilet breaks, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and provide regular attention and care. As an experienced dog owner and former cat owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet's routine, and treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets.

About: Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. Having previously owned three wonderful dogs of my own, I deeply understand canine behaviour, different energy levels, and how important a consistent routine is for a dog's happiness. Neighbours and family members frequently rely on me for dedicated dog walking, feeding schedules and bath times. I am also fully comfortable and experienced with managing medical needs, whether that involves administering oral medications, following strict supplement schedules, or caring for senior dogs who need a gentler touch. Whether your pup needs a high-energy walk, structured play, or a cosy environment for holiday care. I provide a safe and loving home away from home. I am fully committed to treating your dog like a member of my own family. I am also a proud parent to two indoor cats who live with me full-time. However, please do not worry if your pup isn't a fan of felines! My home layout allows me to easily separate them, and I am more than happy to fully accommodate and adjust my routine for dogs that do not like cats. Your dog's safety, health, and comfort are my absolute top priorities. As I do not work currently I have full-time flexibility to dedicate my entire day to your pet's specific routine and needs. Whether they require flexible drop-off times, mid-day attention, or constant companionship, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit yours perfectly. To provide the absolute best care possible, I am currently completing Animal Care Courses. Your pet’s safety is my absolute top priority. I maintain close supervision at all times. I actively monitor all playtime, ensuring your pet is safe when enjoying toys or chewable treats. When heading out for walks, I double check that they have the appropriate gear whether that is a collar or harness. For their protection, I keep all dogs firmly on the lead unless you explicitly specify that they have reliable recall and are allowed off lead. When at home, I always make sure they are also supervised outside in the garden as well.

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! 🐾

“I am truly happy and grateful for how Mollie cared for our dog during his stay. He obviously was extremely relaxed and happy. I could not fault anything about his stay, including being kept up to date on how he was doing. We have searched long and hard for someone to take care of our much loved dog and we have finally found Mollie, so very pleased and grateful!”
