“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!”
“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!!”
“Tahnée had a wonderful time with Jason and his family. Jason's dogs welcomed her into their little pack and they had a relaxing and playful weekend together. We felt like Tahnée was in safe hands and we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We'd absolutely trust Jason with our beloved pup again 😊 Thank you very much”
“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.
“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.”
“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!”
“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. ❤️”
“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!!”

I make sure they stay comfortable, safe, and relaxed
“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: I moved to Cornwall for university and soon found the passion for surfing. I now live in Cornwall and have been looking after dogs for several years now. Moving to Cornwall on my own has made me very independent, but also very flexible. Which means pet care fits easily into my day to day routine. I have a few small jobs that I can schedule around the dog sitting, so I'm able to give pets plenty of time and attention. I thrive on having a routine and living an active, healthy lifestyle. When looking after pets. I understand how important routine is, including regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, especially as different breeds have different needs. With my active lifestyle, i genuinely enjoy walks, runs, and spending time outdoors, so keeping dogs happy and exercised comes naturally to me. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I'm always respectful, tidy and minimal, making sure everything is kept just as the owners expect.
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. The safety of your pets is my top priority, on our walks I like to keep them on the lead untill in certain they will listen to commands from me.

I have most of my experience with boxers, French and English bulldog puppies from birth.

About: I have taken care of and owned reactive/anxious dogs for over a decade, from training our first family rescue dog in 2012, to later volunteering and fostering for the Cinnamon Trust. More recently I have been housesitting dogs and cats around Devon & Cornwall. Having grown up around dogs and nature, long walks accompanied with pups is my happy place. My work requires 16 hours/week of in-office work, I am happy to arrange annual leave for sits (with enough warning) or we can discuss shift schedules when arranging sits, to see what works best for your pets. My routine fits flexibly around whatever you and your dog request, when your pup prefers walks, food etc. is all decided by you! You know what your dog needs best. I will be guided and alter my care based on your preferences; on/off lead walking, dog-socialising, long/short walks, feeding times, etc.
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.

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. I’m very reliable and have walked dogs for a long time, and due to my love for animals, I’ll enjoy walking your dog just as much as they will. 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 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 super friendly and really responsive to all communication. My 8m old Lab is quite bouncy and can be a handful, but Emily was confident and cared for him incredibly well, despite his teenage tenancies. I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a calm environment for their dog.”

“Would absolutely recommend Leah & have her look after Mylo again. Thank you for keeping us posted with photos and being so caring with him just like your own, it really helped us to relax knowing he was in great hands and in a lovely homely environment. Thank you.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our two dogs while we were away for the day. From start to finish, everything was so easy and reassuring. The dogs were instantly comfortable and came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such safe and caring hands. We’d absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets — thank you so much Katie!!”

“Our retriever Isla enjoyed the happiest of days with Kyal. Ours was a 'one off' situation whilst we attended a no-dogs festival in Falmouth whilst on holiday. We felt perfectly confident leaving Isla with Kyal. We noted he is very calm and at ease with dogs. We didn't have any qualms leaving Isla - who is a much adored pet - and she had a great day too. Thank you to Kyal.”

Highly recommend 😊”

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 came to meet Rowan the day before we booked her to walk him. She was lovely and Rowan took to her. She sent photos of Rowan on their walk which was good to see. I am very happy and would book her again.”
“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.”

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 !

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.

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.
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: Experienced pet carer available for sitting, boarding and drop ins on Monday and Tuesdays - if you are looking for a regular and reliable sitter/walker look no further!

I have administered injections and tablets to cats and dogs. I am flexible - I work a few (different) days a week, but otherwise I can play all day indoors or take them out for long stomps out in nature whatever your pupper or meow wants! I’ll be led by the dog/cat and their owner’s home first and foremost. I will listen to the animals needs and respond accordingly while upholding rules and training with them. I’ll feed, walk, and offer care and attention that suits you and your fur baby. I have experience with very anxious dogs, and experienced giving medication to cats and dogs.
“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: Hi, thanks for stopping by. Dogs have always been a constant part of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I had my first dog when I was eight, and over the years growing up we had five dogs in total at home, often caring for several at once. That experience taught me early on how to manage different personalities, routines, and energy levels all under one roof. As an adult, I continued building on that foundation by volunteering as a dog walker with a Cornwall-based charity, The Cinnamon Trust, where I supported elderly and vulnerable owners by walking their dogs. That role helped me develop a calm, patient approach and a strong understanding of dogs who may need extra reassurance or gentle handling. Alongside this, for the past six years I have been dog sitting regularly for clients, so I’m very used to caring for dogs in different homes and adapting quickly to new routines, environments, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every dog as an individual. I take time to understand their routines, comfort levels, and quirks so they feel safe, settled, and happy while their owners are away. At the moment, pet care is a regular part of my daily life. I dogsit most days, so caring for dogs is fully built into my weekly routine rather than something occasional. My days are structured around the dogs I’m looking after, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines provided by their owners. Because I do this so frequently, I’m very used to adapting quickly to different dogs and households, and making sure each dog gets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I have two dogs, so I'm not able to have dogs at my house, but I am able to come to people's homes.

We felt like Tahnée was in safe hands and we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We'd absolutely trust Jason with our beloved pup again 😊 Thank you very much”
“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!”
“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. ❤️”
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.
“Olly had fantastic service. We had asked Olly to watch Abel very last minute. He was brilliant and adaptive. Abel had a fantastic time and we were sent pictures of Abel having fun throughout his stay, updates were all good and great to have those updates. I would absolutely highly recommend!”
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
“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!”
About: Experienced pet carer available for sitting, boarding and drop ins on Monday and Tuesdays - if you are looking for a regular and reliable sitter/walker look no further! I love animals, and regularly look after a nervous Cadoodle named Nia who I love taking on big walks and caring for. I also have experience with other dogs, cats (with diabetes) and chickens. I have administered injections and tablets to cats and dogs. I am flexible - I work a few (different) days a week, but otherwise I can play all day indoors or take them out for long stomps out in nature whatever your pupper or meow wants! I’ll be led by the dog/cat and their owner’s home first and foremost. I will listen to the animals needs and respond accordingly while upholding rules and training with them. I’ll feed, walk, and offer care and attention that suits you and your fur baby. I have experience with very anxious dogs, and experienced giving medication to cats and dogs.
“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.”
