“Octavia took wonderful care of Biscuit for 10 days! Many lovely updates with pics and videos of a very happy, well looked-after pup. I don’t think she wanted to come home in the end! It truly felt like Biscuit was welcomed into the family with Octavia and co, and I’m sure we’ll be trusting her to care for Biscuit again in the future. Thanks again for everything! x”
“Another wonderful experience! We left our Biscuit with Trina for two full weeks and come back to a very happy dog. Trina seemed to have folded her into the family, giving loads of walks, beach visits, and socialization to keep Biscuit engaged and comfortable. Very happy to work with Trina again in the future - thanks again for everything! 🐶”
“Absolutely love Lucy, this is Spots 3rd time staying there now. Spot loves being there with her family, so welcoming, lots of updates throughout his stay and we can see how loved and well taken care of he is. Thank you again, he'll be back xx”
About: I've been around dogs most of my life and have owned several dogs. My most recent dog, a Springer Spaniel, was with me for 13 years. Since he passed, I have looked after several of my friend's dogs. I am also registered with Guide Dogs as a Puppy Fosterer and have looked after lots of their dogs as well. I am retired so have lots of time to devote to your dog. I love going for long walks and exploring my local area. I also enjoy sea swimming. I have a fenced garden and 2 doors to my main front door offering extra security when I have visitors. I have plenty of space for a crate if needed.
“for zulu first time staying overnight and hearing that she bonded with all the family is amazing. Zulu truly loves coming to yours and spending time with all the family especially the spending time with the kids and making you all smile alot. She truly is spoilt when she there which is so lovely to see especially when i come and pick her up as this is what she gets a home. Thank you so much for the service and the update with photos and videos of zulu first time trying the car and the beach. You guys are truly outstanding and love the fact that you guys get to enjoy spending time with Zulu and enjoy her just like i do ❤️”
“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”
“The second sleepover attempt, and it was a success! The Boys are very familiar with Alison's place and very comfortable around her now. Alison is an experienced genuine dog lover; she observes well and quickly analyses the personality, characters and behaviour of each dog. Alison is also well-organised. She always returns everything nice and clean, including food bowls, treat containers, etc. Thanks again, Alison. Until next time!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and regularly take care of friend’s doggos! I am comfortable looking after all breeds and all needs! I work part time so am free all day on a Monday to cuddle with your pups! I live close to Dartmoor so there are lots of great walks nearby for them to enjoy! I have a safe fenced garden in a quiet area. I am experienced in taking care of many different types of dogs and making sure they are comfortable in my home. I am free mostly on weekends but often I am available during the week/evenings - please contact me if you have any questions at all! Disclaimer - I appreciate being told if you are running late to collect your pet - if you are late then I will modify the booking to reflect this.
“Stacey was such an amazing sitter! Arya was so happy when we picked her up. Stacey gave us lots of updates and pictures, gave Arya toys and plenty of fun walks. We felt so safe and reassured that Arya was in a loving family home. I would highly recommend Stacey and her family again! 🐾”
“They where amazing and the dogs where treated like part of the family, they where great with updates and pictures will defo use in the future ! They really are lovely people !”
About: From the age of 6 my family adopted a dog and I walked and cared for him. Since then I have always loved dogs and their very individual personalities. Every time I visit my father in Spain, I happily am the one who cares for his dog. I am currently looking for work that I can do online, so that when I do have work, I would also be able to be home with the dog. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I usually visit a friend to work on an art project, although should you require a full week of dog sitting, book in advance and I can rearrange this. The dog would have access to a fenced garden. There are a few parks locally where the dog can also relieve themselves and exercise. Dogs being pack animals do love attention and I love to pet.
“There's only a few people I trust to look after Skye & Ela is one of them. Skye always comes back a happy dog & clearly likes the walks along the beach front. Skye can be a needy dog & clearly gets the attention she wants & needs when she stays with Elsa.”
“The most nicest/sweetest couple! Lacey had the best time staying with Bridget and her partner☺️ this was my first time leaving my dog with a pet sitter and I felt so comfortable and excited for Lacey to stay with them. Thank you so much for taking her in last minute! Would definitely recommend😁”
“A wonderful dog sitter and I couldn’t recommend her more! Anindita took excellent care of my dog and her regular updates and photos of how much fun he was having put my mind completely at ease.”
“Baffy was so well looked after by Hannah and Jordan, many thanks. Secure private garden, regular walks to a network of local parks and the beach and plenty of playing in between. His likes and preferences were all catered for. I would unhesitatingly recommend Hannah and Jordan for your dog's worry-free stay”
“This was the first time leaving Maisy, so we were very nervous. However, not only did Mark and his lovely partner accommodate us last minute (due to change of circumstances), but they welcomed Maisy with a very warm and calm nature. This enabled Maisy to settle quickly, putting our minds at ease. Mark sent regular updates, photos and videos throughout her stay. It was wonderful to see her having such a lovely time, being spoilt with lots of attention and treats and being well loved. We would not hesitate to book with Mark again, in fact, we are already planning to, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who genuinely understands and loves dogs.”
“Our puppy Teddy has just stayed with Vanessa for 9 nights. We felt Vanessa provided a home from home in a relaxed environment. Vanessa sent regular updates and photos throughout his stay. We are pleased we have found someone we can trust to take good care of Ted. He loved his time there. Thank you so much Vanessa.”
“Amber is lovely and made us feel very comfortable that Lily would be very well looked after. We will definitely use Amber again when we are in Plymouth if she is available.”

About: I spend my career taking care of loved pets, and I'd like to offer the same on my days off. I own a French bulldog who is basically my child - animals, especially dogs, have been my true love my whole life I try to include being around dogs as much as possible into my week (for my own sanity), I typically have Wednesday, Friday and Saturday off work so I'd love to help as many neighbours I do not accept dog boarding as I have my own dog who can be funny around certain breeds. However I life by the rule of dogs are family and mine certainly can share any space in my house to the highest standard and the most amount of cuddles
“Bryony took very good care of our three cats. She ensured that they were fed and watered and kept us updated on how they were. Bryony is a very friendly and pleasant person to deal with. We would thoroughly recommend her. (And as first time app users we found the system of notifications to be very good).”
“Catriona was lovely to meet and our cat was well behaved and happy to play with her. Followed our instructions whilst away and kept to agreed visit times. Would recommend her if looking for a cat sitter.”
“Thank you molly for the photos of Minty she seems very happy. Minty was pleased to see us then been in the hallway looking at front door waiting for her friend to come 😂 we appreciate everything you have done and definitely will have you back next time we go on holiday. Peace of mind while we was away”
“Millie was so good and kept us fully informed and sent us Lovely Photos too. What a really Nice Girl and Billy appeared to enjoy the attention he got from her. If he could talk he’d say she was Purrfect Lol at looking after him. Definitely recommend Millie and we will ask her again if we need someone for Billy Thank you Millie”
About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was 10 whether that be my own dog a family dogs neighbours dogs washing them bathing them walking and feeding them and grooming them I am currently not working due to moving up this way recently so have full availability to come and dog sit play with your pets Monday to Friday anytime needed I have a contained garden and a friendly little dog who loves walks and being outside I can easily get a dog in a create if that is what’s needed
About: Taken care of dogs my whole life; I am now I’m a Police Officer aspiring to become a Police Dog Handler. The combination of my caring and responsible nature with my passion for dogs makes me a good choice for taking your dog. I work on a rolling shift pattern working 4 days on & 4 days off a week. I therefore have lots of free time, just have to organise in advance:) I would take care of your pet at all times when it is in my care. I don’t will aim to have all vet details incase of emergencies and u will always be available to get in contact with.
About: A true animal lover, I have had many myself since I was a child growing up on a farm in the mountains of Andorra: horse, cats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, cows, sheep...I was lucky enough to be able to take my dogs with me to study at Plymouth University- marine biology and oceanography. Therefore, your furry best friend will also have the chance to make new pawsome mates to spend time with and above all, never get bored. My two dogs are called Salsa (jack russell cross) and Billie Eilish (working cocker spaniel), both part time working dogs for pack Boar hunt, mountain goat finds and rabbit hunt. More about myself- I did several weeks of volunteering in a veterinary clinic which gave me the energy needed, skills and patience with sick or old animals. Gentle, jovial and energetic in nature, I would be delighted to enjoy the outdoors with your furry friend during various walks a day, to clean it, feed it and of course to give as much love and cuddles as necessary. Serious and dynamic, I listen to your needs and those of your animal so that he feels as good as possible in your absence and during his stay with me and my partner which lives home aswell. I live near the Hoe and I can travel around Plymouth or its surrounding areas having my car here I offer pick up and drop off services! I am a student at the University of Plymouth and study marine biology and oceanography which means a lot of time at the beach with the pups to fill in this notebooks! I propose long stay and short stay as i don’t go out and live with my fiancé who is also a doggo lover! As previously said, I live by the Hoe which means it is a quick walk to a nice open space for dogs to exercise which is like a garden to me as walks are around 3-4 times a day for my two gorgeous girls. I also do have a little garden on the back of the flat which is secure but small that i therefore don’t use. During bad weather I use sniffin’ games, play hide and seek and get my pups to learn new tricks which could do with yours aswell :) Usually on a basis nice day and weekend we go 3h to the moors or Plymbridge to play and evening rest and walkies around the park. Sundays we go to central park and have an amazing time chasing squirrels or playing fetch ! We also go biking or rest depending on the energy of the dog!
About: Since I was little I always asked my parents for a dog but they said I could not get one because I would get bored. To prove them wrong I made some flyers and started walking multiple dogs in the village and dog sat occasionally and eventually they agreed to get me a dog. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago due to cancer and now being a student I am not able to get another. If you put your pet in my care I will exercise it plenty, keep to your pets usual routines and give it plenty of love and attention. My whole family adores dogs and I can guarantee it will be spoilt! I absolutely love to be outdoors so I would love to take your pet on an adventure at every opportunity available. Being a student I often find myself with spare time so I am hoping it will keep me motivated to exercise and explore more. Additionally, I would only ever agree to dog-sit if my lectures were online or if I was on a break as I would want to give your dog my full attention. I understand being away from home can be extremely stressful for dogs so I would always prioritise staying home with them while they stay with me and ensuring they have company. I also don’t have any other pets so they would be free to roam the house. My garden has fencing along the side and a wall at the end so they won’t be able to escape. I live with my Mum and my two younger siblings who are 15 & 16 so it is a very calm environment for your pet to relax.
“We booked Rebecca to look after our dog as we were going to be out for a prolonged period of time. She came over to the house the day before for a meet and greet and we could instantly tell she’s an animal lover and a natural with dogs. She was very friendly and professional, asking all the right questions. We booked a dog walk and then a sit in the house later on, and she went above and beyond to keep us updated with her movements and sent lots of photos and videos throughout. Our dog Herb had the most wonderful time and she was so tired and chilled when we got back after playing all day with her new friends (Rebecca’s two dogs that she met). We will most definitely be using Rebecca again and can’t recommend her enough.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Salcombe
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, having been brought up in the countryside with collies. My gorgeous labrador, Storm, is playful and very loving and comes first in every decision I make! I have always looked after my friends’ and family’s dogs and am proud of the trust they have in me for this. I work full time but fully remote, so I will always be at home to keep an eye on the doggos and have long walks at least twice a day, with toilet breaks whenever needed! I have a fully fenced garden for regular toilet breaks and perfect for dogs to lounge in good weather with lots of shade too. The house is very safe and I have plenty of dog beds dotted around for whichever space your dog best prefers!
“I would highly recommend Sara-Jayne. My puppy Mabel is always so happy and excited when she sees her. It gives me real peace of mind to know she is in such good and caring hands.”

About: I have had big responsibility to look after many animals growing up. I am currently living away from home and I miss my animals, my dog (see profile picture) and I’m desperate to start involving myself around animals again. I have also done house sitting, mainly family members growing up, more of a good gesture but now I live away from home I have started to think of different ways to get out of the house. It’s more for me rather than money if I am honest. I find myself very responsible and trust worthy, I respect people and care for animals dearly. I wouldn’t say I have years of paid experience with looking after homes or animals but I have years worth of love for them. If you let me know in advance, I can sort your schedule around you. I am easy to your schedule as my shifts change so I can request different things as I work full time. I will chill with your dog. If you want me to keep them out then they will be out. If you want me to take them out I will. If you want me to crate them, I may do. Your call.
“5 stars! Bridget and Nick along with their adorable pup Presley made Stanley's stay a great one. Stanley was immediately comfortable with them and their beautiful home, and the enclosed yard is a major bonus! I enjoyed the text updates and pictures they sent to me, but mostly the level of comfort I have leaving my precious buddy in someone else's care!”
“Bramble went in with her tail wagging and came out looking happy and exhausted, ready to go home. She is a high energy dog and appears to have loved spending the day playing with Mia's dog and having an awesome walk with her new friend. Mia sent lots of photos throughout the day and chatted to me lots prior to the day as I was anxious about leaving Bramble, but she did a great job putting my worries to rest. Overall a great experience for Bramble and we were able to leave her with the peace of mind that we knew she was safe and having fun. Will definitely leave her with Mia again if we are in the area and need a sitter :)”
“This was a “meet and greet” at Vanessa’s home to check that Tilly and Sammy got on with her. Both doggies seemed to settle and relax during our visit and Vanessa was very calm and gentle with them and let them get to know her in their own time. It seems that they will have Vanessa’s undivided attention when they stay with her and will be allowed to lay on the sofa etc. Vanessa was interested to find out all the caring details for them in advance of their weekend visit next month and I will be preparing some detailed notes for each dog as requested to assist with this. This visit was very helpful for all involved and I’m hoping it will make Tilly and Sammy’s 1st stay away from home without me a happy experience for all.”
“A regular here. My boys are so comfortable around Alison now that Kai, my 'aloof Shiba Inu with attitude', let Alison rub his tummy for the first time today, and they weren't in a hurry to come home with me! 😆 Thank you, Alison. Till next time! X”
About: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of Eddie, my little cockapoo. I'm based in Plympton but willing to travel too. I offer calm, reliable drop-in visits for dogs and cats, as well as dog walks, so your pets stay happy, comfortable, and well looked after while you're away. I understand that every animal has their own personality — some dogs want adventure, some cats just want quiet company — and I'm happy to follow their lead. I know how much your pets mean to you, so my goal is always to give you peace of mind while making sure they feel safe and loved. I'm a full-time teacher in Plymouth and so weekdays I am available late afternoon and evenings, on the weekends I can be more flexible. Visiting your pet in their own home means they get to stay in a familiar environment, stick to their normal routine, and avoid the stress of being somewhere new. I'll make sure everything is just as you'd want it — topped up food and water, plenty of attention, and a tidy, comfortable space for them to relax in. Your home and your pet will be treated with the utmost care and respect.
About: I (and my hubby Dean) love animals of all shapes and sizes. Since being very young I’ve always been around animals, dogs, cats, Guinea pigs & rabbits to name but a few. I’ve had pets from babies to old boys and girls so have had the heart break of nursing them and sadly losing them. I am just about to do an online dog first aid, grooming, training course level 3 in preparation to giving the best care to your precious fur baby. We have a 4 year old black Labrador called Stanley who loves having company and a play mate. PLEASE NOTE - Rover charge a booking fee on top of my fee ! I am home full time so can give all my time to caring for your dog. They will be pampered pooches. My hubby, Dean and I sometimes have little weekends away camping in our trailer tent so whilst you are on holiday your pup could be enjoying the great outdoors with us on their own mini break! We have a safe fenced garden with plenty of places to sniff and investigate. In the summer there is plenty of shade if they like to be outside. We have a large park close by and coastal walks dotted around. If they prefer a beach walk we can easily jump in the car and venture out to the dog friendly beaches.
“I left my 5month old puppy Louie with Frances to attend a family funeral. She took excellent care of Louie and communication before the booking and throughout the booking was great! He was a very happy puppy spending time with Frances, and she provided the best care for him during the heatwave. She even had a toy for him waiting and he seemed to prefer it from his toys! That was such a nice touch to know that my puppy was in good hands. She was also very respectful of our puppy rule: our puppy is a dachshund breed and is forbidden to go up/down the stairs and has to be picked up in a certain way. Frances was happy to accommodate our needs. I will definitely make another book with her in the future!”
“Molly was great with Freddie. We came down for a holiday down to Paignton and Molly took care of Freddie for the day which was really helpful. Her communication and photo updates were very much appreciated”
About: I have had dogs snd cats since I was little. I have looked after and walked people’s dogs since I was 18 and I love bonding with different breeds and ages of dogs. I currently live with my partner and his family and we have 6 of our own dogs…we’re a bit dog mad! They also do dog sitting and walking, so I have a lot of experience! I have helped train puppies I’ve looked after in the past and also helped care for dogs on the older side. I adore all animals and would be happy to look after yours if needed! I am free most days, Monday to Friday but also happy to pet sit over weekends. I provide dog walking from 10am - 4pm on weekdays I live in an old farm house with a huge fenced off garden. Dogs are allowed free range of the house most the day but will be shut in separate rooms at feeding time. They have constant access to the garden and will be able to toddle off in the house and find somewhere comfy to chill out!
“Thanks for taking great care of Charlie whilst he had a poorly foot after running into a tree on the evening before his stay. We managed to get a vet appointment in the evening after his stay and he ended up having nail surgery! He's now on the mend and we will be planning future dog-sitting soon. Thanks again for caring for him whilst he was limpy.”
“Ela is absolutely incredible with our pup, this was a last minute booking and she had no problem taking Oakley for the day for us. Oakley has fallen madly in love with Ela and enjoys every minute in her care.”

“Jay has got such a lovely way with dogs. The last thing I saw as I left Rufus with Jay, was him sitting wagging his tail as Jay found him a fresh bone to chew! Very happy dog! And very chilled when I collected him later. Rufus is already booked in for two more visits. Thank you Jay ?”
“Having never used Rover before, I was a bit nervous, but Daryl quickly put me at ease. He’s been fantastic at reassuring me and sends detailed updates after each of Flossy’s visits. It’s clear from the way he cares for his own dog, Cooper, that Floss is in very safe and loving hands. She’s looking forward to building a new friendship with both Cooper and Daryl.”

“So happy with the dog walking service provided by Alex. He has been very flexible when it comes to availability at short notice and arrival times etc. We have a large, powerful husky but that didn’t phase him at all. He is very friendly and reassuring and our dog seemed to really enjoy going out for walks with him. He would send me a message when he was on his way to us and send photos of her, while they were out. I will definitely be booking him in the future and would certainly recommend him to others 🙂 Thanks Alex 👍”
About: Have looked after all ages and types of animals, pet first aid and many other qualifications such as animal care level 3, pet sitting, dog walking I’m available for boarding at pet owners homes which allows their pets to feel comfortable in their usual surroundings. I also do dog walking, pop in visits and general pet care. Ensuring full respect for owners homes, keeping it clean and tidy as I would my own.

About: From looking after multiple dogs, house sitting and using rover to find my doggo Lennie a place to stay when I go away - Rover is brilliant! I have always had dogs, and trained Lennie along with some of his doggo friends. I would love to be able to care for more doggos! I have had multiple dogs stay before and had a great time. I currently have flexibility, whether that’s needing a house dog sitter or walks Monday - Sunday. Lennie can join for walks or I can walk your dog separately. Lennie also doesn’t have to come for overnight stays if preferred no other dog to be there. I am good at noticing dogs behaviours, and having Lennie the place is set up for dogs! All food far away from access, tons of water bowls and fenced garden. Lennie is very good with other dogs in the house, and if I noticed a doggo feeling anxious or unwell I would straight away notify and make sure they are as comfortable as they can be.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years, I walk a 45kg rescue dog weekly and have done so for 5 years, she is the best medicine to cure the mind and soul. A gentle giant who when rescued was terrified of people and other dogs. With practise and love she very quickly became a beautifully gentle and calm giant who loved cuddles and woodland walks. I have a miniature dachshund who is very sociable. My family have a total of 11 dogs, from Miniature Dachshunds to Border Collies, Rottweilers to Jack Russell's. They all meet up for regular walks so are well socialised with other dogs and people. I love nothing more then walking and caring for the fur babies and giving them a nurturing home. I have been a dog sitter and walker for family and friends for many years and would love to look after your pet/pets whether this be a walk, evening stay, socialising or just general care. Feel free to contact me to go through any questions you have. I work full time, Monday to Friday. So evenings and weekends work best for my schedule, however i am able to be flexible with my full time job so please contact me with your requirements and I'll be more than happy to accommodate if i can. I have a large fenced front garden and a large enclosed back garden. My miniature daschund lives with us, however if your dog needs to be alone i am able to have a family member look after her if this gives you peace of mind. Should you book me, please note you will be inundated with photos, videos when your pet is with me. I love sharing their happiness and of course i am sure you would love to see them! If you have any questions you can call or message me and i'll be happy to help.

“Octavia took wonderful care of Biscuit for 10 days! Many lovely updates with pics and videos of a very happy, well looked-after pup. I don’t think she wanted to come home in the end! It truly felt like Biscuit was welcomed into the family with Octavia and co, and I’m sure we’ll be trusting her to care for Biscuit again in the future. Thanks again for everything! x”
“Absolutely love Lucy, this is Spots 3rd time staying there now. Spot loves being there with her family, so welcoming, lots of updates throughout his stay and we can see how loved and well taken care of he is. Thank you again, he'll be back xx”
About: I've been around dogs most of my life and have owned several dogs. My most recent dog, a Springer Spaniel, was with me for 13 years. Since he passed, I have looked after several of my friend's dogs. I am also registered with Guide Dogs as a Puppy Fosterer and have looked after lots of their dogs as well. I am retired so have lots of time to devote to your dog. I love going for long walks and exploring my local area. I also enjoy sea swimming. I have a fenced garden and 2 doors to my main front door offering extra security when I have visitors. I have plenty of space for a crate if needed.

“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”
“The second sleepover attempt, and it was a success! The Boys are very familiar with Alison's place and very comfortable around her now. Alison is an experienced genuine dog lover; she observes well and quickly analyses the personality, characters and behaviour of each dog. Alison is also well-organised. She always returns everything nice and clean, including food bowls, treat containers, etc. Thanks again, Alison. Until next time!”

About: From the age of 6 my family adopted a dog and I walked and cared for him. Since then I have always loved dogs and their very individual personalities. Every time I visit my father in Spain, I happily am the one who cares for his dog. I am currently looking for work that I can do online, so that when I do have work, I would also be able to be home with the dog. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I usually visit a friend to work on an art project, although should you require a full week of dog sitting, book in advance and I can rearrange this. The dog would have access to a fenced garden. There are a few parks locally where the dog can also relieve themselves and exercise. Dogs being pack animals do love attention and I love to pet.
“A wonderful dog sitter and I couldn’t recommend her more! Anindita took excellent care of my dog and her regular updates and photos of how much fun he was having put my mind completely at ease.”
“Baffy was so well looked after by Hannah and Jordan, many thanks. Secure private garden, regular walks to a network of local parks and the beach and plenty of playing in between. His likes and preferences were all catered for. I would unhesitatingly recommend Hannah and Jordan for your dog's worry-free stay”
“Our puppy Teddy has just stayed with Vanessa for 9 nights. We felt Vanessa provided a home from home in a relaxed environment. Vanessa sent regular updates and photos throughout his stay. We are pleased we have found someone we can trust to take good care of Ted. He loved his time there. Thank you so much Vanessa.”

“Sophie was amazing with my 2 dogs. One suffers with bad separation anxiety. I got updates daily and both boys loved their time with Sophie and Spencer. She was attentive, understanding and I managed to feel safe knowing they were with her. She definitely helped my anxious dog come out of his shell a lot more, so will definitely book with her again.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Matt! He looked after our dog Nellie for a week, and from start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic. Matt was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with Nellie, taking the time to make sure she felt comfortable, settled, and happy throughout her stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her wellbeing and treated her as if she were his own. One thing we especially appreciated was how regularly Matt kept us updated. He frequently sent us photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Nellie happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was in such good hands. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and dedication Matt showed. Nellie had a wonderful time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Matt!”
