“Chalky has had a great time at Richard’s. Being an older dog we were a bit apprehensive about leaving him in a strange place but Richard was very patient with him and really understood how to look after him. He kept us updated with photos of chalky and when we came to pick him up we could tell he had had a great time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard to any of my friends”
“I was very anxious looking for a dog sitter as our spaniels have never stayed with anyone who wasn’t a family member (and well known to them). The moment Molly and Syd met Alison I knew they would be ok. She has a fabulous manner and they instantly warmed to her. I think they thought they’d won the lottery and looked instantly at home in her wonderful farmhouse and surrounding fields. Alison sent us photos of them having an incredible time on walks and then worn out snoozing with her on the sofa. I knew they’d had a fabulous time when Syd put the brakes on and had to be pulled out her kitchen to leave 🤣 Molly arrived home, had a quick sniff of our garden and got back in the car! We were certain she was telling us she wanted to go back to Alison’s 🤣”
“Gina and her lovely family took very good care of my dog Blue after a last minute request. I received daily updates and photos from her. They took him out on several walks/run each each and Blue came back satisfied and happy. Would use as sitters again and I would recommend the family.”
“Abby was so lovely and amazing with Norman! We felt really at ease leaving him with her, and got some great photos of him having the best time. Would definitely recommend, thanks so much Abby!”
“Jason and his family were so wonderful to Tanuki! I received videos and photos of Tanuki having the time of her life playing with other doggos. Ottis and Tanuki were so similar, they got on so well I was gutted I had to take her away, haha! Thank you so much for looking after my furry doghter : )”
“Wow I was so impressed with Mads!! From the get go it was clear she was the right person to take care of my baby while I was away!! Lots of pertinent questions when we first met and great communication while I was away! Upon my return it was so clear that lady had the best time staying with her, with lots of walks and having fun on the beach! Mads is so friendly and great, clearly a massive dog lover and if I ever need to head away again she'll be my first choice 100% Thank you again for everything!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and for the past 11 years my family and I cared for our own much‑loved Cavachon, who we sadly lost a couple of months ago. We raised her from a puppy, so I’m very familiar with early training, building routines, socialisation, and helping a young dog grow into a confident, well‑behaved companion. As she got older, we also managed her medication and adapted her routine to keep her comfortable, so I’m confident handling day‑to‑day care that needs consistency and a bit of extra attention. Over the years we’ve also looked after dogs belonging to family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. From Springer Spaniels and Dalmatians to Labradors, Cockapoos and Terriers. We have a large enclosed garden and a spacious open‑plan home where dogs can play, roam or rest depending on what they enjoy. My husband and our two children (aged 6 and 9) adore dogs. We love heading out for beach walks, woodland adventures and coastal paths together. The children are gentle, respectful and understand when dogs need quiet time and space. We aim to create a relaxed, predictable environment where dogs feel safe, settled and part of the family. Please get in touch if we can help, and feel free to share as much information as possible about feeding routines, temperament and anything else that helps us make their stay perfect. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine. I’m currently at home during the day, and over the school holidays I’m with my children, so there’s always company and plenty of attention for visiting dogs. My husband also works from home a lot, which means dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. We’re used to planning our days around dog‑friendly activities, beach walks, coastal paths, and relaxed weekend outings, so it’s easy for us to build a dog’s routine into our own. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just having someone around, we’re a family who genuinely enjoys making dogs feel part of our day. We have a large, fully fenced garden where they can explore and play securely, and our home is set up so dogs can be part of family life without feeling overwhelmed. Our children (aged 6 and 9) have grown up around dogs and are gentle, confident, and respectful, they love to play, but they also understand when a dog needs space or quiet time. We live close to woods, coastal paths, and dog‑friendly beaches, so walks are varied and enriching.
About: My name is Rose and I run this account with my Boyfriend Jago :) We are both Marine biology students, and miss our dogs at home! I've spent the last 9 years looking after and training my own black Schnoodle at home, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes for friends and family. We are both confident with feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well looked after. My boyfriend and I both work part time, meaning someone is always around to ensure your furry friend is never alone! We are both very active (meaning lots of W.A.L.Ks) and are always spending time outdoors, adventuring to new spots when we can. My garden is fenced, meaning lots of space for sniffing outdoors and having fun. Also living in a safe neighbourhood, evening walks are no problem!
“Tabitha is lovely, and the location is wonderful, on a farm in the middle of countryside. We were sent regular updates with photos of our dog looking relaxed and happy, She clearly had a fantastic time with Tabitha, and we will certainly wish to rebook with her when needed. Thank you!”
“I can’t not thank Melanie enough for taking such good care of my dog Henry while I was at a wedding. She kept me updated throughout the day with videos and messages. I highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: Hi, I'm Leo and I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I like to get out and about so I'm always walking my dog Bruce, he comes with me everywhere I go! I have experience caring for senior pets also and have a qualification in canine first aid. I understand that all dogs are different and need different breed specific stimulation to be happy and healthy and I will always try to weave some training in with all the playtime and walks! I'm currently available full-time with availability Mon-Fri and Saturday if required. I am able to be flexible to suit your requirements and meet the needs of your pet. I live in close proximity to woodland, open fields and enclosed paddocks. I also have access to an unfenced garden in my home. I have a 18 month old Sprocker Spaniel and an elderly cat at home to keep your best friend company.
“Emily looked after our Labrador Milly during our holiday in Cornwall. Milly had a great time and we were almost worried she didn’t want to leave! Emily was flexible and responsive when making arrangements to take her out and provided plenty of updates of their walks on the beach. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again.”
“Clarrissa was the best dog sitter you could ask for! She made time to meet boe before we went away! She took her on 6km run! And she was amazing with boe’s behaviours, boe can be reactive to other dogs and Clarissa was amazing at adapting to this making sure boe kept safe at all times! She kept us updated all the time through photos and messages! YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER DOG SITTER 1000% WOULD RECOMMEND!!”
“Monika is the first person to ever look after Monty and it was his first time not staying at our house. We were nervous about how he would be but it’s very obvious that he had a fantastic time away! She kept us very informed on how he was doing and I think the chance to spend time with another bigger dog in the house has really improved his behaviour. Super happy with the whole experience and would absolutely recommend Monika to look after your pup!”
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes my whole life, growing up I’ve always been keen to walk, feed, wash and care for them.

I currently study at uni, so have lots of free time for short and longer walks, especially during holidays and weekends. I’m more than happy for any special arrangements you may need or a negotiable price to work for us both. I’m sure your dog will become comfortable and happy in my hands so you can feel safe and content with their care :) P.s much appreciated if I am able to bring my partner for longer house sits (of course we can meet prior) I’m currently studying geography at uni but have lots of availability around my schedule to walk or provide pet care, plus, my car for longer adventures! Although i am at uni and cannot care for your pet in my home, I can walk and pet sit in your own home in however ways you require

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I've adored cats my whole life, I've had them by my side since I was nine years old, and I can't imagine home without them. Right now I share my home with two gorgeous Maine Coons, a boy and a girl, who are as affectionate as they are characterful. I've always had multiple cats at the same time, so I'm very comfortable looking after busy, multi-cat households and making sure everyone gets their fair share of attention. Over the years I've gained plenty of hands-on experience across every life stage. I've cared for elderly cats who need medication and a little extra patience and attention, and I'm just as at home with playful kittens and all the energy they bring. Years of living with cats means I'm comfortable with everything from feeding routines and litter care to giving medication, spotting when a cat's feeling a little off, or simply offering some quiet company. I understand that every cat has its own personality and preferences, and I'll always take the time to respect yours and keep them happy, relaxed, and well looked after in their own home.
“I had a really positive experience from start to finish with Rianna. Our meet and greet was easy and reassuring, key exchange was straightforward, and I felt confident leaving my cat and home in her care. Pepe was happy and settled and my home was respected and looked after. Thanks so much Rianna.”
“Sarah was fantastic with my fur babies, who are very timid. Sarah sent me photos of them all feeding, happily, which really put my mind to rest. Will definitely be booking her again 😊”
“the cats had a fabulous time with Paul! we had regular updates and lots of pictures during the visits. Both of our cats are usually very cautious of new people but they warmed up to Paul very quickly! couldn’t recommend him enough! will be rebooking in the near future definitely😊”
“Lorena helped day sit at very short notice for my friends Lab that was on heat. Excellent communication. Lorena arrived on time and asked lots of questions to confirm her genuine interest. She was wonderful with the Labrador pup confirmed. She gave updates throughout the afternoon which were much appreciated. Once my friend arrived home, he found his dog to be calm and happy and very comfortable with Lorena. He asked me to give her a top review and will be happy to ask her again for help! Thank you Lorena!”
About: My family has always owned dogs so I have a lifetime of personal experience. I volunteered and multiple animal sanctuaries and zoos growing up and I worked for pets at home for more than three years where i specialized in dog care. I am available most days and weekends for any bookings and will normally be happy to take bookings on short notice. The safety of the pets come first and for that reason I would make sure to supervise them and if in the garden make sure its enclosed and has no open gates. I work part time and have a very flexible daily schedule. The best thing to do is contact me with the dates and times you require and I will do my best to accommodate.

“Our puppy has separation anxiety, but Chloe was there to look after her and our puppy took to her. We appreciated the updates in photos. We would recommend Chloe to anyone who needs dog-sitting :)”
About: I have had cats my whole life and am known for my love for all of my cats, I ensure they are always watered and fed, I play games with them all the time. My cats always have full bellies and are very happy I am free most weekdays and some weekends, I am available more in the evenings but if you need a day let me know and I’ll see what I can do :) I ensure my cats are given time to go outside to get some fresh air and make sure they are fed twice a day, their litter is changed every single day. I of course make sure their water bowl is always full. My cats have a large scratch post and warm bed for them to use whenever they want. In the summer i provide my cats with frozen cat treats to keep them cool.
About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs, I even grew up with Irish wolfhounds, so know how to handle the larger breeds.

Im currently working a part time job so have plenty of free time to walk and play with your pups! I would love to pursue dog walking as a full time job and therefore my availability is very flexible. I have a large, fenced, secure garden and will keep you dogs entertained in their favourite way. Whether that be playing fetch or cuddling up with tummy scratches!!
About: At 8 I rescued a kitten from the road, and got my gran to adopt her as we already had 3 dogs at home. I have always loved feeding and taking care of strays, helping my neighbours look and friends with their cat and I have now done a few cat sitting on Rover too as I’ve started using in almost 3 years ago. I’d be so happy to look after your beautiful four legged fury friend and I promise I will give them as much love as if they were with you.
“Charlotte came out to meet us prior to her puppy sitting. She was delightful and was lovely with Tilly. Everything went as arranged on the day itself and Tilly was clearly very happy, as were we. We will happily use Charlotte again in the future. Thanks.”

“Five starts are just not enough! Alison provided a perfect day for Jasper. When we dropped him off for his first day care stay he was immediately relaxed and happy for us to leave him. Alison sent us photos during the day and it was clear to see Jasper was having a great time, Thank you so much Alison for your reassurance that all was well as it meant we could relax and enjoy our day out too! We are already planning our next trip away knowing Jasper is in safe hands.”
“Booked very last minute and were extremely accommodating for us due to this! Couldnt be more thankful! Freddie had alot of fun and was well looked after for us! Loved all the pupdates too!”
“Frank had the best time with Leo. It has been a while since Frank had been with someone he wasn’t familiar with. He wasn’t happy when I left. Leo quickly sent me reassuring pictures. Little updates flowed throughout the day as they went of in walks and played at Leo’s home. Frank looked reluctant to leave. Would leave my little Prince with Leo any day. Thank you!”
About: I hold a 4* rating with Cornwall Council for home dog boarding. I was brought up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals all of my life. I have Buddy, a small Italian Greyhounf. I like to specialise in small dogs, and am happy to have dogs on an individual basis. Dogs are treated as I would my own, and have snuggly beds and blankets in all rooms! Plenty of walking and playtime will also be provided. I am currently at home full time so any dogs in my care will have my full attention!

I have an enclosed front garden and an enclosed back garden which is paved. The gate can only be opened with a key code. I have various beds and crates if that is what your dog prefers.
“Emily was absolutely brilliant with Margot! She looked after her for the day while we went on a boat trip, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Emily was really attentive to Margot’s needs and made sure she was comfortable and happy throughout the day. Her communication was excellent too, which gave us great peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily and would definitely use her again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Margot! 🐾❤️”

Before hand Sarah gave us lots of beautiful recommendations for places where dogs are welcome which really gave us a head start for our holiday in Cornwall Cannot thank Sarah enough for making our dog so relaxed and happy.”

“Connor looked after our family dog while we spent the day at St Michael's Mount nearby. Connor was friendly and enthusiastic. He communicated well before and during the day. Connor also took our dog for a walk on the beach and sent us pictures. Jasper looked very happy when we collected him and went back to Connor for cuddles even after we arrived, which says it all!”
“I just want to say what a fantastic young lady Virginia is, she looked after my furbaby for 2 days (Separate days) whilst we were on holiday in Cornwall. She is totally genuine and I know she looked after my baby (Lyra) just as I would. If Lyra could have spoken she would have told me what a totally awesome time she has had with her. If you are looking for someone to look after your special baby then book Virginia. Thank you so much for taking care of Lyra for us.”
“Kyal, was absolutely fabulous with our labradoodle Milo whom he looked after whilst we attended our daughters graduation.

He had so much fun that he slept as soon as we got home. Thanks for taking care of Milo Kyal.”

“Leaving our mini schnauzer with Mevan for the day worked out perfectly. We got to spend a dog-free day in St Ives while Mevan did a wonderful job looking after Lexi. She is right near a lovely park and Lexi had two walks. Lexi seemed quite happy when we picked her up. Parking/drop-off was convenient and it all went smoothly. Mevan was very communicative through the whole process. I would use her again.”

About: Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by the joyful energy and unconditional love that dogs bring. From a young age, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for various breeds, each with their unique personalities and quirks. Whether it was teaching my playful lab new tricks or enjoying quiet moments with my gentle fizzla, every experience has deepened my appreciation for these loyal companions. I've learned to understand their needs, from proper exercise and nutrition to the importance of socialization and mental stimulation. These experiences have not only shaped my skills as a dog sitter but have also enriched my life with countless memories of wagging tails and happy barks. I work from home five days a week, and I love spending my time outdoors with the dogs. Whether it's taking them on coastal walks or discovering new scenic routes along the shore, I enjoy exploring the beauty of nature with my furry companions. I have a spacious, enclosed garden that ensures your dogs are safe and secure while they enjoy their time outdoors. Water and food always available.
“Kyal is awesome. He took the time to meet Albie (and me) before their walks together, showed up promptly (and let me know he’d arrived), sent pics of a very happy pooch, and I came home to a super content setter each day. What more could I ask for?! Thanks so much Kyal. Albie looks forward to seeing you again soon.”
About: ✅ DBS Checked ✅ Fully Insured ✅ Pet First Aid and CPR certified I have been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family for the past 10+ years and have finally taken their advice to do so in a more serious capacity, having grown up with the sweetest and most gentle family dog which really drove my passion for animal care. Most of my experience has been centred around house sitting/overnight stays to care for pets, especially pets who are anxious or cannot be alone for long periods of time. Though born and raised in Helston, I have looked after a range of animals (from tropical fish to bearded dragons) for pet owners both in and outside the UK, but have recently moved back to Cornwall. My main focus is dogs/cats but I'm a quick learner and happy to help with whatever pet I can, so don't be afraid to reach out. - 10+ years experience with dogs (6 months to senior) - 7+ years experience with cats - Dog walking & Drop ins based in Helston only (for now) - House Sitting in Helston or anywhere accessible to public transport I currently have a fully free schedule so can easily fit around an owners needs. I may only take 11am-1pm off daily to fit in lunch or last minute/emergency drop ins. I make sure to follow a pet owners instructions to a tee and will treat their pet as if it were my own. I also make sure to leave any house I sit at in the same condition it was left in as that is just common decency and basic respect.
“Ellen met and walked our pups today. Her pre-walks communication was great. She was very pleasant and professional and quickly tuned in to what our pups preferences were and what they needed. They took an instant liking to her and we look forward to Ellen walking them again soon. We're very pleased to have found such a lovely, reliable dog walker. 🐕🐕🐾🐾”
“I used Sarah's dog walking services whilst we were staying in the area for a wedding. Communication was good and she asked questions to best tailor my dog's walk and sent photos and a report card straight after the walk. My dog was at ease with Sarah straight away and clearly enjoyed her walk! I would definitely use Sarah's services again when next in Cornwall.”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, I have taken care of 4 dogs since I was 8. My love for them keeps growing with the years. I have taken care of any animal found abandoned on the street or badly treated, for me they all deserve care and love. I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries so I feel confident to take care of any sort of dog or cat. I am used to having lots of pets around, I love to walk them, cuddle, feed and bathe if needed. I am used to all sort of ages and breeds. I’m a freelance writer and I work mostly from home. I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week. I share my house with my two friends who both adore animals and would give them much love. I miss my family dogs very much and taking care of your pet would make me so happy. I am always looking forward on spending some time with a four legged friend! I have a quiet backyard, it has a lovely shade and it’s very peaceful, so it is perfect for a day sitting. For the night I am happy to have your pet over unless it’s a big dog then I would prefer staying over at the owner’s home. I am very tidy and respectful, I will leave your house just as I have found it and I do believe the animal will feel safer being at their own home.
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life, from strays to kittens, at one point we had seven ! I also have experience house sitting, baby sitting and dog sitting. I’m currently back from travelling and searching for a more permanent job so I can completely work around any schedule needed. I’m happy to cover hours during the day, walks, or overnight stays ! I only offer services currently out of my own home as we have a cat and a tortoise that would be particularly against a canine visitor ! I aim to create a secure and trusted environment so you can travel/work/holiday stress free without worrying about the pets at home :)
About: My own dog, who is now 10, is my pride of joy. My life revolves around looking after her and she truly is a family member to me. I have taught her all of her tricks and habits. I did get lucky with her intelligence but having looked after other peoples dogs I have worked to train them too with great success. I am a very patient person who brings a calm and inviting demeanour to dogs, becoming their comfort base when we are in busy areas. I absolutely adore getting the privilege to look after dogs and I treat them how I treat my own- like family. I have experience dealing with aggressive animals, oral medication, cleaning of wounds and infections, elderly and young pups. I am currently a University student at home for the holidays so am available every day. My schedule will revolve around the dogs and can accommodate your needs. I live in a safe neighbourhood with a fenced in garden and plenty of space for the pet to have free roam of the house. They are welcome on furniture including the bed, but if you would like them to remain crate-trained I can also easily accommodate that.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life. This included many different breeds with different temperaments, this is what started my love for dogs. I am a university student going into third year studying Geography. I have finished for the summer, so daytimes and nighttime’s are flexible for me. I am comfortable around any dog no matter the temperament, i can adapt to specifically fit your dogs needs and make sure they are comfortable.
“Lara is a very friendly walker who my dog really liked from the start. We chatted about Daphne’s needs and she listened and took in board what I said. She’s clear about what she can offer in terms of availability which I find so helpful.”
About: I have taken care of my friends and family’s dogs for many years, including walking, feeding and bathing and generally showing them lots of love. I also fostered a rescue for a year before he found his forever home, so have first hand experience with the daily looking after of a dog. We have no dogs in the house currently. I work from home a lot and I am free for boarding and dog walking throughout the week in the mornings, lunchtime and evenings and all weekend. I am free for general boarding and pet care continually. I have a fully walled back garden and gated front garden, on a quiet back street in Penzance, with a large park 20 metres away.
About: I have an enhanced DBS check and have looked after dogs and cats for neighbours and friends for over 10 years at home and during university. We have had dogs and cats for many years in the family home so am experienced in mixed pet households and love both cats and dogs. I’m currently setting up my own practice in Chiropractic and Sports Massage in Porthtowan and am looking for part time work to go alongside it looking after dogs and cats! It was my part time job when I was studying in Wales and have loved it so much I want to carry it on alongside normal work! Ensuring the garden is enclosed for example closed gate, but they also still have access to outside. Providing them spaces to relax and feel safe in your home.

“Chalky has had a great time at Richard’s. Being an older dog we were a bit apprehensive about leaving him in a strange place but Richard was very patient with him and really understood how to look after him. He kept us updated with photos of chalky and when we came to pick him up we could tell he had had a great time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard to any of my friends”
“Gina and her lovely family took very good care of my dog Blue after a last minute request. I received daily updates and photos from her. They took him out on several walks/run each each and Blue came back satisfied and happy. Would use as sitters again and I would recommend the family.”
“Abby was so lovely and amazing with Norman! We felt really at ease leaving him with her, and got some great photos of him having the best time. Would definitely recommend, thanks so much Abby!”
“Jason and his family were so wonderful to Tanuki! I received videos and photos of Tanuki having the time of her life playing with other doggos. Ottis and Tanuki were so similar, they got on so well I was gutted I had to take her away, haha! Thank you so much for looking after my furry doghter : )”
About: My name is Rose and I run this account with my Boyfriend Jago :) We are both Marine biology students, and miss our dogs at home! I've spent the last 9 years looking after and training my own black Schnoodle at home, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes for friends and family. We are both confident with feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well looked after. My boyfriend and I both work part time, meaning someone is always around to ensure your furry friend is never alone! We are both very active (meaning lots of W.A.L.Ks) and are always spending time outdoors, adventuring to new spots when we can. My garden is fenced, meaning lots of space for sniffing outdoors and having fun. Also living in a safe neighbourhood, evening walks are no problem!
“Tabitha is lovely, and the location is wonderful, on a farm in the middle of countryside. We were sent regular updates with photos of our dog looking relaxed and happy, She clearly had a fantastic time with Tabitha, and we will certainly wish to rebook with her when needed. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I'm Leo and I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I like to get out and about so I'm always walking my dog Bruce, he comes with me everywhere I go! I have experience caring for senior pets also and have a qualification in canine first aid. I understand that all dogs are different and need different breed specific stimulation to be happy and healthy and I will always try to weave some training in with all the playtime and walks! I'm currently available full-time with availability Mon-Fri and Saturday if required. I am able to be flexible to suit your requirements and meet the needs of your pet. I live in close proximity to woodland, open fields and enclosed paddocks. I also have access to an unfenced garden in my home. I have a 18 month old Sprocker Spaniel and an elderly cat at home to keep your best friend company.
“Emily looked after our Labrador Milly during our holiday in Cornwall. Milly had a great time and we were almost worried she didn’t want to leave! Emily was flexible and responsive when making arrangements to take her out and provided plenty of updates of their walks on the beach. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again.”
“Monika is the first person to ever look after Monty and it was his first time not staying at our house. We were nervous about how he would be but it’s very obvious that he had a fantastic time away! She kept us very informed on how he was doing and I think the chance to spend time with another bigger dog in the house has really improved his behaviour. Super happy with the whole experience and would absolutely recommend Monika to look after your pup!”
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes my whole life, growing up I’ve always been keen to walk, feed, wash and care for them. I have most of my experience with boxers, French and English bulldog puppies from birth. I currently study at uni, so have lots of free time for short and longer walks, especially during holidays and weekends. I’m more than happy for any special arrangements you may need or a negotiable price to work for us both. I’m sure your dog will become comfortable and happy in my hands so you can feel safe and content with their care :) P.s much appreciated if I am able to bring my partner for longer house sits (of course we can meet prior) I’m currently studying geography at uni but have lots of availability around my schedule to walk or provide pet care, plus, my car for longer adventures! Although i am at uni and cannot care for your pet in my home, I can walk and pet sit in your own home in however ways you require
“What an amazing time my Sam had. I received lots of updates and pictures, and she made me feel he was in the best care. I wouldn’t hesitate in using Katie again. Exceptionally caring and made Sam part of the family for a week. ❤️”
“Monty was a very happy boy staying with Harriet for the weekend, got taken on lots of walks and had a good swim in the sea which he loved. Would recommend and will be hoping to use Harriet again if I go away”
About: I am able to walk them on long walks, feed and play with them and also bathe them if needed.I have always grown up with animals and have a energetic saluki mixed dog at home who I love having morning swims with! I am university student, so on the days that I can take care of your dog , I will be always with them at home or going on walks. I have a outdoor patio where the dog can do its business and the dog would be welcome anywhere in the house. Also short walk from the beach.
“I've found the perfect dog sitter! Lianne is both professional and friendly. She is clearly passionate and experienced with dogs, and her lovely home is ideal, being safe and comfortable. Albert and Ernie loved their stay with her, and Chloe the chilled resident dog. They got on like long term friends, and came back very relaxed and happy. I have no hesitation recommending Lianne to look after your loved ones, and will be a return customer for years to come.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life growing up and had 2 dogs in my adult life, both from puppies. I am used to being around high energy dogs that require a lot of attention and stimulation. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with behavioural issues. I have house trained many dogs overtime. I absolutely adore dogs and being in their company makes my heart happy! I work full time from home Monday- Friday with Friday afternoons off. I am available most weekends for dog boarding. My work is very relaxed so plenty of time to give your dog attention, toilet breaks and walks during my lunch breaks and after work. I live on my own in a 2 bedroom flat. I don’t have a garden but there is a shared communal garden for toilet breaks. I live a 3 minute walk from a beach and some other beautiful walks. I also drive and I’m happy to take your dog out and about on my travels. I often like to go to dog friendly cafes to read so your dog would be more than welcome to join me. I’m not worried about dogs being on my furniture etc, I want them to feel comfortable and welcome in my home. I’m happy to dog sit in your home as long as there is WiFi and a kettle for a cuppa!
“Chloe and Biddy were very helpful with a late request for weekend dog sitting. Theo and Chili had a great time sunbathing, playing in the garden and exploring the woods, and Biddy was very laid back about dealing with a cheeky 1 year old!”
