“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.”
“Foremost, our dog came home healthy, happy and relaxed so he would leave a glowing review if he could. From our perspective, every aspect of arranging jelly's stay was effortless and the regular updates made being away from our pup worry free..... Fantastic!”
“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.”
“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 Lauren! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life in Cornwall and have always had such a love for them. We had a golden retriever as our family dog from when I was little, and later adopted a collie, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities and routines. I also regularly look after friends’ dogs, including Zora the red fox lab, Arthur and Norman the cockerpoos, and KyKy the cavapoo. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, relaxed and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home Monday–Friday, usually 9am–6pm, with long lunches and lots of flexibility throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks and playtime. I live close to both the beach and fields, so there are plenty of lovely places for dogs to explore and enjoy. My home is calm, cosy and dog-friendly, and I always try to make dogs feel as settled and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, playtime or simply having company during the day, I’ll make sure they get lots of love and attention while they’re with me. I know how important trust is when leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always follow your routine and instructions carefully to help them feel safe and at home. I’m also very happy to send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and settled while you’re away. I work from home full time with flexible hours and long lunches, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles and regular toilet breaks. I want pets to feel as settled and comfortable as possible while they’re with me. I’ll follow their usual routine closely and make sure they get plenty of walks, attention, playtime and cuddles throughout the day. As I work from home, they’ll rarely be left alone and I’m always happy to send photo updates too.
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“Monty has never been so relaxed at the end of a stay - a clear indication of how terrifically Marek looked after him! Well worth the extra miles from Wadebridge to Falmouth. Our deepest thanks to Marek for all the care and love he gave Monty and to Oscar for sharing his Dad so nicely.”

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!

“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!”
“Really glad we found Tammy! Lola made herself right at home as soon as we were inside their home, and Tammy and her husband really listened to Lola’s specific requirements, which made us feel at ease. We are so pleased and cannot wait for Lola to stay there again :). Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Siamy was a brilliant dog sitter for my two boys. Her communication was spot on, responsive and flexible. She is very experienced and knowledgable with dogs, and her own dog was a delight for mine to wear themselves out playing with. Her house is spacious and well set up for dogs to find their own comfy spot downstairs, with a large safe garden. I would have no hesitation to recommend Siamy, and if she’ll have us will be using her again.”
“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!!”
“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: I love cats, and have experience caring for my own rescue cats. I have a good understanding of different personalities, from shy and independent cats to more social and playful ones. I also have experience from volunteering with the Soi Dog Foundation, where I helped care for both cats and dogs, in a shelter setting. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each cat’s individual needs, and I always aim to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and undisturbed in their own home. I understand how important routine and trust are for cats, so I follow instructions closely and provide gentle, reliable care.

“Tara is a lovely and conscientious cat sitter. We met prior to the weekend, and I could tell instantly that my cat would be in safe hands. I had updates (optional) to put my mind at ease. I will definatly book Tara again. 🐈💫🌸”
About: I’m experienced in looking after other people’s cats as well as having cared for pets of my own over the years. I understand that cats often prefer calm, consistent care in their own environment, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. This includes feeding, litter tray maintenance, playtime (when welcomed!), companionship, and administering basic care as needed. I’m conscientious, dependable, and treat all animals with genuine love and respect. I provide cat sitting, day care, and overnight care in the owner’s home, which helps minimise stress for cats while their owners are away. I currently rely on public transport and plan visits carefully to ensure punctual, consistent care.

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.

“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.”
“Connor was fantastic, we are so glad we found him! We were on holiday on Cornwall and going to a wedding so needed a dog sitter for the day. Connor was really responsive on messages and really understanding of our dog's needs. He arrived early which was fantastic, and send lots of pics and videos during the day. He dropped Pippi off and she was very happy! Thank you so much Connor, an absolute 5* sitter!”
“Lennie had his first doggy day care session with Alison yesterday and he absolutely loved it! We received regular updates and pictures to show he had settled in. Thank you so much, Alison. I’m sure he can’t wait for his weekend trip in March🐶🥰”
“First time using Rover and what a fantastic choice having Sarah. From the start she was welcoming and enthusiastic. Our dog had a great time out on the beach twice and happy with Sarah. 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.”
“Lauren is a great choice if you are wanting to go to the Minnack theatre, as reasonably close by. Good communication and flexible with availability. My dog coped very well being with her, even though he had never met her before. I was nervous, as this was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone we didn't know. But Lauren was so relaxed and friendly, it all felt smooth and comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use her again.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’m a marine biology student who misses her black lab from home, lots of experience looking after friends dogs for extended periods of time.

I will listen to and stick to your instructions, caring for your dog the way you know is best!
“Leo has been fantastic, he agreed to look after Dave on short notice. He has been really accommodating and worked around us. Dave had a wonderful time with Leo and Bruce, thoroughly enjoying himself and he came back tired, relaxed and very happy which can be a challenge at times being a working breed border collie, he has a lot of energy.”
About: I've taken care of cats & dogs since I was young and I love animals! I sadly can't have my own pet right now so looking to take care / walk others.

I make sure to give pets lots of company and they aren’t left alone at all. Cuddles on the sofa are encouraged :)
“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.”
“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!!”
“Very happy overall, after not knowing this was such a thing and how easy it was to book someone we are glad we found Tammy, she was very helpful and helped look after our boy whilst we went and visited St Ives and paradise park for the day as it’s a hot day we definitely didn’t want to leave him on he’s own! It was a very last minute booking after finding it on Google but I highly recommend for your doggy! Will definitely be using her again when I come this way! Once again lovely thank you so much! Much appreciated.”
“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.”
“Poppy is SO lovely & friendly and took amazing care of Ralph! He looked very happy and comfortable in her company and I was so at ease knowing he was in safe hands. I'd 100% recommend Poppy to anyone looking for support with dog daycare!”

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.

So if any pet decides to come here for the night, they will have company.
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.

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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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: 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
“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!”
“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!”
“Siamy was a brilliant dog sitter for my two boys. Her communication was spot on, responsive and flexible. She is very experienced and knowledgable with dogs, and her own dog was a delight for mine to wear themselves out playing with. Her house is spacious and well set up for dogs to find their own comfy spot downstairs, with a large safe garden. I would have no hesitation to recommend Siamy, and if she’ll have us will be using her again.”
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.
“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.
