“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.”
“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! :)”
“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”
“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.”
“Tracie and Sarah are incredible. They were amazing with my puppy Dotty. There were patiant with her and really looked after her as if she were their own. I had regular updates through messages and photos. And was a home away from home for Dotty. I will be using Tracie and Sarah again when I need to. Thank you guys sooo much”
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.
“Lucy and Jack were awesome. Milo was super happy and relaxed at there home. He’s an old boy and very set in his ways and has diet issues. Lucy and Jack took it in their stride. Lucy kept us up to date with messages and pictures which was reassuring. Can’t praise them enough. We will definitely be using again. Thanks again to Lucy, Jack and family from all of us xxx”
“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.”
“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.”

“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”
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.
“Isabelle looked after our 3 dogs at very short notice for the day and she did an amazing job. They came home happy and safe. Excellent communication and was flexible and kind. Will defo book again when we are in the area. Thank you Isabelle :)”
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.
“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 😁”
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.

“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!

We will definitely continue to book Elka as Lyra is clearly well cared for.”

Reliable, calm, and attentive, and with regular updates so you know your pet is happy and in safe hands.
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: 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.

“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“Tracie and Sarah are incredible. They were amazing with my puppy Dotty. There were patiant with her and really looked after her as if she were their own. I had regular updates through messages and photos. And was a home away from home for Dotty. I will be using Tracie and Sarah again when I need to. Thank you guys sooo much”
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.
“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.”

“Finn had the best stay with Millie, Dan and Cody. We were a bit nervous leaving him as he can be a bit nervous with strangers, but he settled in really well.
