“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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”

“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!”
“Stephanie was excellent, she came over to meet the cats before I went away, to discuss any requirements, eg. dietary, medical, etc. I received updates and photos for each drop in and I will use Stephanie again next time I need to go away”

About: I have had cats my whole life and am known for my love for all of my cats, I ensure they are always watered and fed, I play games with them all the time. My cats always have full bellies and are very happy I am free most weekdays and some weekends, I am available more in the evenings but if you need a day let me know and I’ll see what I can do :) I ensure my cats are given time to go outside to get some fresh air and make sure they are fed twice a day, their litter is changed every single day. I of course make sure their water bowl is always full. My cats have a large scratch post and warm bed for them to use whenever they want. In the summer i provide my cats with frozen cat treats to keep them cool.
About: 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: I have always loved animals from a young age and have always looked after friends and family’s pets. I have my own little puppy, she is 7 months old and is very good with other animals. I would love to help others who need someone to either look after their pet or take on a walk. I work from home so can be flexible.

“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.”
“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.”
“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🐶🥰”
“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!”
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 have a spacious flat near the beach & Dane park with an outside courtyard and plenty of space for your pet to roam around. I make sure to give pets lots of company and they aren’t left alone at all. Cuddles on the sofa are encouraged :)

I would love to help others who need someone to either look after their pet or take on a walk. I work from home so can be flexible.

“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.”

“Tywi and Hetta had a lovely day with Ella and Tom. They came back very content and calm. I think Ella was great to communicate with and very ameniable to our requests. I would highly recommend Ella and Tom and use them again if we were in the area.”
“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.”
“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!!”

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.
About: Having grown up with dogs, following this through with my own children, I have always loved and adored them. I have had spaniels, Rottweilers, Staffordshire bull terriers, mastiffs and a chihuahua so all shapes and sizes! I am currently working part time on a self employed basis so have plenty of opportunity to fit in any walks or drop ins within my schedule I always ensure to get a good descriptive explanation of how your pet is cared for at home so that they are not out of their routine. All safety precautions are taken when out on walks or if a drop in includes a run around in the clients garden.
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.

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.
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.
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.

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
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.
“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: 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
“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!”
“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.
“Conny has been simply amazing! She looked after our chocolate lab with such love and care whilst we were at a wedding - the first time we had left her with someone we hadn't met before. Conny sent us regular photos and updates that really put out minds at rest (she had a brilliant day with trips to the beach, playing in the sea) we couldn't have asked for more and we would recommend Conny to anyone looking for a home from home experience for their dogs. Thanks so much xx”
“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!”
