“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.”
“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.”
“We have just left our beloved little dog with Richard for the first time and I will now never consider leaving her with anyone else. From the beginning he was helpful and considerate, and when we collected her at the end of her stay the bond between them was visible. There were frequent updates in the form of pictures, messages and videos, and I was never left wondering how she was getting along. A very experienced, exceptionally kind sitter who clearly understands dogs implicitly and, more importantly, who genuinely loves them. Thank you so much Richard for making what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into a very smooth and easy one!”
“Waffle (cockapoo/bichon frise) had a wonderful stay with Sam and her family. He was looked after so well, enjoying the walk to school and back with the young ones and woodland walks. Sam was happy to give him his daily ear spray and daily pill in his food. A very loving home, we would highly recommend and hope Waffle can stay again! Thank you! Mel & Mark xx”
“Tabitha was super sweet and very chilled. We dropped our frenchie, Beanz with her for a couple days whilst we were at a wedding and Beanz seemed to have a great time - she came back exhausted which is always a good sign 😂 thanks so much Tabitha - really appreciated your flexibility and all round relaxed approach made the whole thing very easy.”
About: I grew up with the craziest Maltese, who I trained from a puppy until I left for university, so I’ve always had dogs around me. I’m often at home and regularly look after my friends’ dogs, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them, or taking out. I also enjoy running, swimming and other outdoor activities, and I’d love to have a dog join me whenever appropriate. I’ve always found that animals naturally seem to feel confortable around me, and most importantly, dog person for life! I’m a postgraduate student living in Falmouth with a part time job. I’m usually at home for most of the day unless im out doing an activity involving some sort of exercise I live in a spacious house with five friends, a courtyard, and plenty of room for dogs. We enjoy outdoor activities, relaxing days and companionship
“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!!”
“We have never left our rescue pups before and were quite anxious. We needn’t have been! Alex was charming, friendly and clearly loves dogs. His dog is very placid and ours loved her. We had regular updates on how they were doing and photos. They went for 2 walks a day and seemed very at home with him. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.”
About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals has instilled in me a deep love for animals. I take my responsibility as a caregiver seriously, holding myself to high standards in all aspects of animal care. I am particularly interested in understanding dog behavior, and I am skilled at recognizing signs of anxiety or discomfort. My commitment to providing a loving and attentive environment ensures that every animal I care for feels safe and valued. My part-time job as a teaching assistant in a primary school allows me a flexible schedule. My shifts typically last up to six hours, with some days being shorter. I start my day at 6 AM, giving me ample time to attend to my pets before heading to work. This routine ensures that I can provide consistent care, attention, and companionship to the animals, regardless of my work commitments. When caring for pets, whether at my home or the owner’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. My approach includes: • Routine Establishment: I maintain the pet’s usual feeding and exercise schedule to ensure consistency. • Environment Familiarity: If at the owner’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring the pet feels secure. • Attention to Behavior: I closely observe the pet for signs of anxiety or discomfort, adjusting my approach as needed to help them feel at ease. • Engagement and Play: I provide physical and mental stimulation through playtime and interaction, keeping pets happy and healthy. • Communication: I keep the pet owner informed about their pet’s behavior, health, and any concerns that may arise. This comprehensive care approach allows me to foster a trusting relationship with the pets, ensuring they feel loved and secure.
“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: 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.
About: Growing up, we always had dogs at home, so I truly understand that dogs are family. Since joining Rover, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, including elderly dogs, nervous or anxious dogs, energetic puppies, and dogs that need medication. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own - with lots of love, care, and attention to their individual needs and personality. For new clients, I’ll always ensure to set up a meet & greet prior to accepting the booking, to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I work full-time in a 9–5pm office job, but I do have the flexibility to work from home. For boarding / day care and house sitting bookings, I’ll work remotely from home for the duration of the stay, so your pets will have company throughout the day. I’m also available to walk them before or after work, and/or during my lunch break. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I can usually fit these in quite easily around my work schedule - especially if you’re very local to me! Please note: some bookings may require me to put a request in with my manager to work from home. These are almost always approved, but on occasion I may be required to go into the office. For that reason, there may be some booking requests I have to decline. I’ll always double check my availability and confirm with you before accepting a booking. My rates are based on the assumption that your dog is comfortable being left for occasional short periods (e.g. 2–4 hours). Any alone time would always be based entirely on your dog’s routine, comfort and needs. We can chat about this more at a meet & greet prior to booking if needed. For dogs who cannot be left for that long (e.g. less than 2 hours), I offer constant-supervision care. This requires extra planning and time, so a small additional fee applies. I will also ensure to adhere to any requirements that you might have - this might be regarding walks, training, feeding, medication, or anything else.
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.

About: Hi there! I'm Sarah — a passionate animal lover and proud dog owner to a gorgeous Australian Shepherd and cat mum to two gorgeous kitties: a sleek black-and-white shorthaired and a fluffy Norwegian Forest cat with lots of personality. I’ve used this service myself in the past and found it to be a real lifesaver, especially for those last-minute needs — so I totally understand how valuable peace of mind is when it comes to pet care. I'm based in Penryn and happy to travel locally. I have a peaceful haven of a house, with a fenced garden. I live alone and work part time from home so I will always be about. I am experienced with many dog breeds, from poodles to collies and I walk my dog at least twice a day. She loves the company of other dogs. Please contact me for more information or if you would like to chat furher. Looking forward to meeting your beloved pets!
About: I am a student who has looked after dogs for all I can remember. From walking my dogs at home, to fostering medical alert puppies, and volunteering at a kennels, I love dogs. I also love a good long walk and I am missing my own dog at home at the moment and would love to get out and about with an extra friend. At home, I am involved in training my beautiful labrador who will soon be a medical alert dog for Medical Detection Dogs. I also have experience with more reactive dogs. As a student, I am free most of the time with occasional hours during the week I am busy. I am available as much as you need me. I have a fenced off garden and a few dog toys and a dog bed at home. I also have my own lead. My dog from home has stayed round before and loved it.
“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!”

“It was my first time using a pet sitter & Lisa was amazing! She came over to meet me & my pets beforehand & see exactly what was needed etc. And while I was away she went above & beyond to care for my cat & chickens! My cat tends to be quite nervous with new people, but instantly took to Lisa. Lisa was so lovely & kept me updated the whole time I was away with plenty of photos & videos, which was so reassuring. Would 100% recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Misty and I’m 21 years old :) I’m new at pet sitting but it’s something i’ve always wanted to do. I own 4 cats, one is a kitten and one is an elderly cat, the oldest one i’ve owned out of them all has currently been for 3 years. I’ve babysat and kept an eye on cats as a child, and have been around them for most of my life, therefore i’ve picked up on their different behaviours and expressions and know how to behave around and respect cats. I have a pass grade in small animal care and passed a lesson at my local vets on pet first aid. I am a very patient and caring person, more so when it comes to animals, so i’ll be a perfect candidate for your skittish or grumpy cat! But, i’m also a very active and energetic person, therefore i’m a great fit for your bouncy and lively kitty! I absolutely love the chatty cats but also appreciate the quiet and timid ones. If you are looking for a pet sitter with personality, patience, and understanding, I am the person for you. Thank you very much for reading🩷

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.

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.
About: I have lots of experience feeding, spoiling and taking care of cats (and really enjoy doing so!) I have been trusted to take care of neighbours cats, trained my kittens and am the sole carer of my senior cat (who I administer medicine to twice daily)
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: 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.

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We used Lauren as a last minute dog sitter for our dog Penny on our holiday in Cornwall and she was amazing! Penny seemed very comfortable with her and was clearly taken care of very well. Great communication and updates each day, Would highly recommend her to anyone needing their pup taking care of, thankyou so much to Lauren for being a lifesaver this week. Would happily use her again! x”
“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: I am a dedicated pet lover based in Penzance, Cornwall, close to a variety of lovely trails with different types of terrain. I can accommodate any walking preference and am happy to walk dogs individually. I can walk 2–3 small dogs from the same family, or two medium to large dogs from the same family, depending on temperament and needs. I’m very experienced in caring for other people’s dogs and have owned several dogs myself, all larger breeds. I currently rely on public transport. I’m conscientious, reliable, and treat all animals with genuine love and care. I also offer day care and occasionally boarding in the owner’s home. I no longer provide boarding in my own home I am flexible with the hours I can offer. I work from home and am an early riser. I am adaptable and willing to work with pet owners to stick to dogs routines. I am a extremely trustworthy and respectful person. I have worked within numerous caring roles over the years including child minding, elderly & end of life care and managing a day centre for disabled adults. I have always loved animals and enjoyed making a fuss of people and pets. I've frequently looked after friends dogs when they've gone away and used to regularly walk a neighbours dog as well as looking after my own Golden retriever rescue, Greek mixed breed rescue & my Rottweiler and Doberman just passed.
“We would highly recommend Charlotte having booked her for 3 days during our holiday to visit places less suitable for dogs. Charlotte was great with our cockapoo, who was excited to see her on each visit, and returned home content and well exercised. Communication was great and photos were sent during the day. Charlotte was also flexible and able to adjust arrangements as needed.e.g St Micheals Mount visit rearranged due to weather.”
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 intend to make this my full time job once I get settled in my new home. I will be council registered and will have full insurance. 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.
“Leo was so easy to communicate with he replied so quickly sent lots of pictures through the day. It was my first time using the app and I could not have had a better experience. Ben loved his day too he came back tired and very happy. Thank you Leo for being so easy to communicate with and so helpful and looking after Ben so well!”
“Runa instantly felt at home with Rhianna. She was very well looked after and came home a very happy girl! Rhianna sent lots of lovely photo updates and messages on how runa was throughout the day so I knew she was in safe hands. Thank you!”

“Terri was super helpful looking after our dog Coco at short notice. This included picking her up in her car, taking her for a walk on the beach, looking after Coco in her home for the day and allowing us a later pickup. Terri was good n communication, very friendly and good on animal welfare.”
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals. I have owned dogs for many years, and trained my male Chocolate lab in obedience and agility and competed. I then got a female Rottweiler a few years later as a companion, who also I trained and did agility- but no competitions. After a few years without them, I got a shihtzu- moving to a small breed was very different- but amazing. Did some agility for fun only, she moved abroad with me - so I care for animals wholeheartedly. I groom her myself. I am an experienced handler and pet owner, who loves dogs all shapes and sizes. I am not working in August and part time from September, although can work from home. Therefore I am flexible with arrangements and ensure I am not away more than a few hours. I have a fenced in front garden, that is secure, as well as plenty of walkable routes around my home. I have a car to go for beach or woods walks.

About: I have a senior dog who is now 15 years of age back at home. When at home I enjoy and make sure to take the time to meet her needs by walking her, playing with her, feeding her and comforting her in times of need.

I live in a house alone meaning I am able to look after a dog all day on my days off. Being Wednesdays, Thursdays and the weekends. I am also free in the evenings of Fridays and sometimes Tuesdays.

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: Hi. My name is Chantelle and I have been around dogs for my entire life. I grew up with collies and now have two of my own. I am a massive dog lover and am confident with all types of dogs. I have experience with reactive and nervous dogs having volunteered with rescue dogs as a walker in the past. I am able for drop ins to check on pets and also for dog walks which will be tailored to your pup. I currently part time and varying shifts in the NHS as a biomedical scientist so my schedule can change each week but I have lots of availability. I am able to drive and have doggy seatbelts in my car for safe transport to a nice spot for walks. I will cater walks to what your pup requires, whether short walks with lots of breaks for young/old dogs or long walks for more energetic dogs. I am experienced with nervous and reactive dogs. I would prefer a meet prior to taking dogs out for walks so I can learn about their needs and requirements and any special care that may need to be taken. I cannot offer care in my own home but can do drop ins to let your dogs out, feed and top up water and have a play with your pups. I would prefer to either meet up or discuss over the phone your dogs needs so that I can cater to their requirements.
“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 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.
“Cara is great with Albie! They enjoy lovely long walks together, she’s very communicative and sends lots of pictures of their adventures, and he comes home and snoozes happily on the sofa dreaming of all their fun times. Thank you Cara! xx”
About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. Growing up, my home was filled with dogs, cats, tortoises and more caring for them wasn’t a chore, it was something I genuinely loved. That passion has never left me. I find real joy in spending time with animals, understanding their personalities and making sure they feel safe and loved. Beyond my upbringing, I have hands on dogsitting experience caring for pets over extended periods, so I know what it takes to step in as a trusted carer. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual needs and always go the extra mile to ensure they’re comfortable, stimulated and happy. When your pet is with me, they’re not just being looked after they’re being genuinely cared for by someone who truly loves animals. Animals have always been at the heart of my life.

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: Hi, I'm Bella. I have always loved dogs especially sight hounds and previously owned a whippet called Poppy. I enjoy nothing better than taking a dog for a long walk on the beach or through the woods, seeing them enjoying themselves and being sleepy and relaxed after a good run. I have previously looked after greyhounds, sausage dogs, Italian Greyhounds, Whippets, an Irish Wolfhound cross, Frenchie, Labrador Siberian Husky’s, Cockapoos and Cavapoos and understand all dogs and breeds have different needs & requirements to feel happy, safe, secure and loved. I love getting to know their individual personalities and understand that pets are like members of the family and treat them as I would my own dog with love, care and affection when in my care. I am able to keep pets company all day ensuring they get plenty of walks, toilet breaks and are well fed. If dogs are nervous or uncomfortable around other dogs I ensure that they are cared for one individual dog at a time. I ensure dogs are on leads unless I have guidance from their owner that they have good recall and are happy for them to be take off lead only in safe places. I can offer in home care in peoples homes or my own which has a large garden.

“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.”
“We have just left our beloved little dog with Richard for the first time and I will now never consider leaving her with anyone else. From the beginning he was helpful and considerate, and when we collected her at the end of her stay the bond between them was visible. There were frequent updates in the form of pictures, messages and videos, and I was never left wondering how she was getting along. A very experienced, exceptionally kind sitter who clearly understands dogs implicitly and, more importantly, who genuinely loves them. Thank you so much Richard for making what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into a very smooth and easy one!”
“Waffle (cockapoo/bichon frise) had a wonderful stay with Sam and her family. He was looked after so well, enjoying the walk to school and back with the young ones and woodland walks. Sam was happy to give him his daily ear spray and daily pill in his food. A very loving home, we would highly recommend and hope Waffle can stay again! Thank you! Mel & Mark xx”
“Tabitha was super sweet and very chilled. We dropped our frenchie, Beanz with her for a couple days whilst we were at a wedding and Beanz seemed to have a great time - she came back exhausted which is always a good sign 😂 thanks so much Tabitha - really appreciated your flexibility and all round relaxed approach made the whole thing very easy.”
About: I grew up with the craziest Maltese, who I trained from a puppy until I left for university, so I’ve always had dogs around me. I’m often at home and regularly look after my friends’ dogs, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them, or taking out. I also enjoy running, swimming and other outdoor activities, and I’d love to have a dog join me whenever appropriate. I’ve always found that animals naturally seem to feel confortable around me, and most importantly, dog person for life! I’m a postgraduate student living in Falmouth with a part time job. I’m usually at home for most of the day unless im out doing an activity involving some sort of exercise I live in a spacious house with five friends, a courtyard, and plenty of room for dogs. We enjoy outdoor activities, relaxing days and companionship
“We have never left our rescue pups before and were quite anxious. We needn’t have been! Alex was charming, friendly and clearly loves dogs. His dog is very placid and ours loved her. We had regular updates on how they were doing and photos. They went for 2 walks a day and seemed very at home with him. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.”
About: Growing up, we always had dogs at home, so I truly understand that dogs are family. Since joining Rover, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, including elderly dogs, nervous or anxious dogs, energetic puppies, and dogs that need medication. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own - with lots of love, care, and attention to their individual needs and personality. For new clients, I’ll always ensure to set up a meet & greet prior to accepting the booking, to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I work full-time in a 9–5pm office job, but I do have the flexibility to work from home. For boarding / day care and house sitting bookings, I’ll work remotely from home for the duration of the stay, so your pets will have company throughout the day. I’m also available to walk them before or after work, and/or during my lunch break. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I can usually fit these in quite easily around my work schedule - especially if you’re very local to me! Please note: some bookings may require me to put a request in with my manager to work from home. These are almost always approved, but on occasion I may be required to go into the office. For that reason, there may be some booking requests I have to decline. I’ll always double check my availability and confirm with you before accepting a booking. My rates are based on the assumption that your dog is comfortable being left for occasional short periods (e.g. 2–4 hours). Any alone time would always be based entirely on your dog’s routine, comfort and needs. We can chat about this more at a meet & greet prior to booking if needed. For dogs who cannot be left for that long (e.g. less than 2 hours), I offer constant-supervision care. This requires extra planning and time, so a small additional fee applies. I will also ensure to adhere to any requirements that you might have - this might be regarding walks, training, feeding, medication, or anything else.
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.
About: Hi there! I'm Sarah — a passionate animal lover and proud dog owner to a gorgeous Australian Shepherd and cat mum to two gorgeous kitties: a sleek black-and-white shorthaired and a fluffy Norwegian Forest cat with lots of personality.

I'm based in Penryn and happy to travel locally. I have a peaceful haven of a house, with a fenced garden. I live alone and work part time from home so I will always be about.

Please contact me for more information or if you would like to chat furher. Looking forward to meeting your beloved pets!
About: I am a student who has looked after dogs for all I can remember. From walking my dogs at home, to fostering medical alert puppies, and volunteering at a kennels, I love dogs. I also love a good long walk and I am missing my own dog at home at the moment and would love to get out and about with an extra friend. At home, I am involved in training my beautiful labrador who will soon be a medical alert dog for Medical Detection Dogs. I also have experience with more reactive dogs. As a student, I am free most of the time with occasional hours during the week I am busy. I am available as much as you need me. I have a fenced off garden and a few dog toys and a dog bed at home. I also have my own lead. My dog from home has stayed round before and loved it.
“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: Dog-lover, cat-lover, general pet lover. I live in a big house in Falmouth with a few friends, with a decently big enclosed garden. First time doing this but so excited! Im often at home, or out and about- I teach several surf lessons a week and work remotely the rest of the time- am always outside and always up for taking the dog for a walk or giving it a cuddle on the sofa. I tend to be up around 7:30ish in the morning. We are able to leave the garden open whenever we want as it is totally enclosed. I have a relatively large enclosed grass garden. Pets allowed on sofas. We’re very relaxed - it’s a very clean and tidy but well lived-in house. Always people at home. Having a dog is a dream of mine but I can’t get one because I don’t know my long term plans, so this is a perfect compromise!
“Lovely sitter and home. Great enclosed garden with a dog walk on doorstep, Lianne was lovely to deal with, and her little dog made Sami feel very welcome! Will use again if we're in the area. Thank you for making us feel secure in the knowledge that Sami was well looked after.”
“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!”
“Absolutely amazing, this was our first time using a boarding service and would wholeheartedly recommend Chloe and her family to anyone, the photos, videos and updates put us at ease and helped when we were missing cairo the most, will definitely be using Chloe and her family again in the future”
“Reg had the best time and Hannah and her family were so lovely. Their dog was also super friendly and Reggie seemed to love her too. Hannah sent lots of pictures and gave lots of updates which were great and if I were in Newquay again I would definitely get back in touch - thanks so much!”
