“A home from home. Dale and Scott looked after Fergus like he was their own. They gave Fergus lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. Their outside space is safe and secure and location is perfect for long safe walks off lead. We were sent regular photo updates of Fergus’s sleepover and fun he was having out and about.”
“We cannot recommmed Isabelle more! She was absolutely fantastic and highly accommodating for our nervous Great Dane. She kept us updated and really bonded with our dog. Not only that, you could clearly tell she was extremely knowledgable and highly experienced in looking after a range of dogs. Thank you so much. We will now always use Isabelle!”
“Brilliant. Evie was so happy with Harriet and her family. This was our first time dropping Evie at a pet sitter and we would definitely recommend Harriet and we will always use her now if we can! She was with Harriet for five days and she was so happy the entire time.”
“I am truly happy and grateful for how Mollie cared for our dog during his stay. He obviously was extremely relaxed and happy. I could not fault anything about his stay, including being kept up to date on how he was doing. We have searched long and hard for someone to take care of our much loved dog and we have finally found Mollie, so very pleased and grateful!”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.
“We were so grateful to find Tracie when we needed local help while in Cornwall for work. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time with her, and we really appreciated all the updates throughout. It was clear that our dog enjoyed all the fun and experiences she had during her stay. River (Tracie's dog) is such a lovely dog and we loved seeing them play and it was so nice for our dog to have a furry companion for a few days. Tracie’s communication was super clear, and we felt completely at ease knowing Annie was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Tracie! x”
“Had a meet and greet with Lucy on Thursday evening for 10mins which was great! Dropped Dexter off at 7am this morning with no issues :) Lucy kept contact every couple of hours which was great as this was the first time we left Dexter with someone he didn’t know. Dexter struggles with anxiety but Lucy sent photos, messages and updates constantly to put us at ease. Will definitely use again and recommend.”
“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”
“Our Deefer was so happy and relaxed as soon as walking into lees home. I got regular updates and Deefer was having lots of fun. Lee shows genuine care and love to the dogs and I felt so happy knowing my baby was not only taken care of but enjoying his time. A really friendly lovely man. Deefer will definetly be back again, highly recommend.”
“Thanks so much Bob! Amber had a fantastic stay with you, I don’t think she wanted to come home 😂 highly recommend, there was loads of garden and fields to run around, I had regular updates and photos. Will definitely be booking again”
“Tess and Stan enjoyed their stay with Boo and had lots of fun playing with the other dogs, nice walks and chill out time. Boo took great care of them both. More than happy to recommend.”
“Micheal was the perfect person for Rosie and she had a great stay. He sent lots of updates and videos telling us what a good time she was having. Micheal loves animals and it really show, Rosie loved him. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Micheal for everything, we could be away knowing Rosie was in the best hands”
“Very happy with Herbie’s care this evening. Herbie was very nervous when we arrived and I worried that he might not settle but Laura slowly won him around with her kind and gentle approach. When we went to collect him he was clearly happy and relaxed I really appreciated the photos that Laura sent through the evening which put my mind at rest. Thankyou Laura for a positive experience.”
“Charlotte did a fantastic job at looking after Smudge while we were away for a few weeks over Christmas. We were kept updated with pictures and info letting us know how he was getting on as this was the first time we had left him with someone else, but I can safely say we would definitely use Charlotte again! Highly recommended.”
“Katherine was excellent from the outset. Great communication before the stay. I feel very happy leaving our two dogs with her for 24hrs. She provided photos and updates throughout their stay. Would thoroughly recommend.”
“Frazer looked after my dog Clover whilst i was away for 6 days, I've only ever left her once before with a dog Sitter. Frazer asked lots of questions about Cloves routines, what she liked and disliked and put me at ease straight away, He sent me videos and photos each day to update me on how she was doing I really appreciated this and gave me peace of mind knowing she was living her best life with him! I would definitely recommend Frazer and will be booking Clover in again the next time we go away.”
“Ernie had such a great stay. They really cared for him and looked after him very well. I could tell he was very happy there. They sent lots of photo updates and were really flexible when I asked to extend the stay by an extra day. Thank you so much!”

About: I can offer loving and fun one to one care of your pet in your home. I had my own dog until a year ago - from a puppy to 17 years old! So experienced in all ages. You can be assured that your pet will have all my attention. I work flexibly part time remotely with occasional telephone calls of no more than an hour. I offer beach and country walks either on or off the lead. I only take one dog at a time (or multiple dogs if from that same family) so I can give them all my attention.
“Runa had the best time with Dale and Rex! At such short notice I couldn’t have asked for better care for Runa during the heatwave. Dale was so good with her and made sure to keep her cool with access to the paddling pool and lots of water and shade. She had a blast with her new best buddy Rex. Thanks so much Dale! Would highly recommend and would certainly use again! Runa had a gorgeous time x”
“Isabelle looked after our 3 dogs at very short notice for the day and she did an amazing job. They came home happy and safe. Excellent communication and was flexible and kind. Will defo book again when we are in the area. Thank you Isabelle :)”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals, especially dogs and cats, as I grew up with a highly intelligent German Shepherd who was my family. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for many different breeds - Border Collies, Retrievers, Dachshunds, Samoyed, English Spaniels/Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers, Toy Poodles, Cockapoos, French Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Pomeranians, Goldendoodles, Wire Fox Terriers, Pugs, and of course Shepherds, as well as many cats, giving me years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve also spent time walking and playing with dogs at a shelter (many wonderful mixed breeds), so I understand how to care for pets with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Since moving to the UK, I don’t have pets of my own yet, so it would be an absolute pleasure to care for yours! Whether it’s puppy care, playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m here to provide loving, attentive, and responsible care. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to be available any day of the week for pet care. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to their routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I live on a farm with plenty of open space for dogs to walk, run, and play freely. If caring for pets in their owner's home, I ensure they feel secure and relaxed by sticking to their familiar routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they are always well-fed, exercised, and cared for. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🐾
“From pre stay to during and post daycare Mark and Fee were amazing, putting my mind at rest, with great f communicatiin, offer of updates during the day and time to chat on pick up. Nelson was settled from the get go. Great facilities too”
About: I’ve looked after neighbours family and friends dogs for years and have always had dogs growing up and as an adult .

Having a dog myself ,I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s normal routine and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Michael’s family are so in love with dogs that it’s clear to see from the second we Winnie entered their home. We were at a wedding and so naturally nervous about leaving our little girl for the whole day, but we had regular updates, pictures and stories. Winnie even got to enjoy a trip to the beach! It was so comforting knowing that she was in safe hands, and we will 100% be rebooking the next time we are in Devon for an event and need Winnie taken care of.”
“It was the first time I left my 14 week puppy with someone else and Lucy couldn't do more to welcome her in. She sent regular photos updates and I had a very happy puppy to take home. Thank you to both Lucy and her family for taking great care of Josie!”
About: I’ve had pets in my family home as long as I can remember, including three dogs, two cats, two tortoises, fish and hamsters over the years. I’ve always loved being around and looking after animals, especially dogs. I grew up with an English Springer spaniel and a Dandie Dinmont terrier - two dogs that were polar opposites but both affectionate and loyal - what more can you ask for? After they both passed away last year, my mum brought a Maltese poodle puppy called Lola into the family home and it’s reminded me of how playful and loving pets are. In terms of experience, I’ve dog-sat and walked my mates Australian Labradoodle and previously looked after neighbours cats while they’ve been away. If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out - Thanks. I work full-time for a multinational professional services company however my job is fully remote and employees are entrusted to work flexible hours to manage their own work schedules. I’d love the extra bit of company when working from home and the opportunity to get out on walks during the day. I live in a dog- friendly duplex flat with open plan living and kitchen and a small-medium sized balcony. I understand this may be off putting but I’m a 3 minute walk from Lovell Park, and only a 10 minute walk from the canal, which I often run along and is very popular with dog walkers. I have a very comfortable sofa and plenty open floor space to roam around
“An absolute 5-star experience! Having recently moved to the Bodmin area, it was incredibly daunting to look for a new sitter for our beloved and pampered dog, Barley. However, meeting Terry and Susan (Megan's parents) beforehand completely put our minds at ease as they would be looking after him on the day. Barley spent the day with them yesterday whilst we attended our daughter's graduation in Exeter, and we could not have asked for better care. They looked after him brilliantly, treated him like one of the family, and sent us lovely picture updates which we really appreciated. Terry and Susan made us feel so comfortable and reassured from start to finish. Barley loved his cuddles with Terry (The Dog Whisperer). We are incredibly grateful to have found such caring, trustworthy sitters locally and will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I have always had a profound love for all animals, especially dogs and a passion to look after them. I have had a variety of animals around me my whole life and I am experienced in caring for all breeds dogs. I would love to help someone out who has work commitments or deserves a holiday/break by looking after their fur child, I would ensure they have lots of love, cuddles, walks and attention. I live in Exeter and work from home so can be very flexible around your schedule and adapt to your pets requirements where needed. I have a Cavalier King Charles called Ruby who would love a play date or a walking buddy! Ruby is brilliant with children and a registered therapy dog. I have years of experience caring for a variety of animals, so you can trust me to provide the highest standard of care to your pet. I'm passionate about animals and I'll do everything I can to ensure that they're healthy and happy.
About: I trained me Sprocker Spaniel who is still a puppy. This involved basic commands and recall. He is well behaved, well socialised and a happy dog :) I run my own business so have good flexibility during the week and at weekends. I won't be out for more than 3 to 4 hours and I can walk, feed and socialise them inbetween. I will be there to look over them most of the day..I may leave for 3 to 4 hours but will make sure they've been walked and fed before so.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to big goofy gentle giants. That experience only grew stronger at home with my own crazy, lovable German Shorthaired Pointer, Bear, who keeps life full of energy, chaos, and laughs. I bring that same mix of care, patience, and playful enthusiasm to every dog I look after—treating each one like part of the family, celebrating every zoomie, and making sure tails are wagging from start to finish. A typical day for me is a cosy mix of stay-at-home mum life with my one year old little boy and Bear, who both believe every morning should start with enthusiasm, noise, and absolutely no lie-ins. My day usually flows between naps, snacks, laundry, and the usual mum multitasking—always with Bear right in the middle of it all, supervising like she runs the household. Walks, playtime, and little pockets of chaos are woven through the day, whether it’s a quick dash outside with Bear or an impromptu zoomie session in the garden. Evenings are for winding down with family time, a tired but happy dog, and that comforting kind of chaos that comes with a full, love-filled home. I’m also available at weekends, offering the same care, cuddles, and cheerful chaos—perfect for when your dog needs a little extra love while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I make sure my home is fully pet-friendly and secure, with anything potentially harmful safely out of reach and doors, gates, and bins properly secured. I create a warm, cosy space where dogs can relax and feel completely at home, with fresh water always available and a quiet spot if they need a break from all the excitement. Our days are a happy mix of walks, playtime, and cuddles, along with life at home playing alongside my 1-year-old little boy—so there’s always a bit of extra giggles, gentle chaos, and lots of love to go around. I follow a calm, consistent routine so every dog feels settled and secure, and I always keep a close eye on them as they become part of our little family. With plenty of care, attention, and a home full of warmth (and wagging tails), I aim to make every dog feel safe, happy, and completely adored while in my care. 🐾💛

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had dogs in my life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels and routines. While I’m new to dog walking professionally, I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, basic training and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I understand how important it is for owners to know their dogs are safe and well cared for. I offer one-on-one dog walks, taking dogs on local countryside routes. Walks are 30–60 minutes, giving each dog safe, supervised exercise and attention. I schedule multiple walks per day and can accommodate several dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently care for three dogs, so I understand different personalities and routines. I will provide safe walks and follow any instructions from the owner to keep their pets happy and secure.

“A home from home. Dale and Scott looked after Fergus like he was their own. They gave Fergus lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. Their outside space is safe and secure and location is perfect for long safe walks off lead. We were sent regular photo updates of Fergus’s sleepover and fun he was having out and about.”
“We cannot recommmed Isabelle more! She was absolutely fantastic and highly accommodating for our nervous Great Dane. She kept us updated and really bonded with our dog. Not only that, you could clearly tell she was extremely knowledgable and highly experienced in looking after a range of dogs. Thank you so much. We will now always use Isabelle!”
“Brilliant. Evie was so happy with Harriet and her family. This was our first time dropping Evie at a pet sitter and we would definitely recommend Harriet and we will always use her now if we can! She was with Harriet for five days and she was so happy the entire time.”
“I am truly happy and grateful for how Mollie cared for our dog during his stay. He obviously was extremely relaxed and happy. I could not fault anything about his stay, including being kept up to date on how he was doing. We have searched long and hard for someone to take care of our much loved dog and we have finally found Mollie, so very pleased and grateful!”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.
“We were so grateful to find Tracie when we needed local help while in Cornwall for work. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time with her, and we really appreciated all the updates throughout. It was clear that our dog enjoyed all the fun and experiences she had during her stay. River (Tracie's dog) is such a lovely dog and we loved seeing them play and it was so nice for our dog to have a furry companion for a few days. Tracie’s communication was super clear, and we felt completely at ease knowing Annie was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Tracie! x”
“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”
“Our Deefer was so happy and relaxed as soon as walking into lees home. I got regular updates and Deefer was having lots of fun. Lee shows genuine care and love to the dogs and I felt so happy knowing my baby was not only taken care of but enjoying his time. A really friendly lovely man. Deefer will definetly be back again, highly recommend.”
“Thanks so much Bob! Amber had a fantastic stay with you, I don’t think she wanted to come home 😂 highly recommend, there was loads of garden and fields to run around, I had regular updates and photos. Will definitely be booking again”
“Micheal was the perfect person for Rosie and she had a great stay. He sent lots of updates and videos telling us what a good time she was having. Micheal loves animals and it really show, Rosie loved him. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Micheal for everything, we could be away knowing Rosie was in the best hands”
“Charlotte did a fantastic job at looking after Smudge while we were away for a few weeks over Christmas. We were kept updated with pictures and info letting us know how he was getting on as this was the first time we had left him with someone else, but I can safely say we would definitely use Charlotte again! Highly recommended.”
“Katherine was excellent from the outset. Great communication before the stay. I feel very happy leaving our two dogs with her for 24hrs. She provided photos and updates throughout their stay. Would thoroughly recommend.”
“Frazer looked after my dog Clover whilst i was away for 6 days, I've only ever left her once before with a dog Sitter. Frazer asked lots of questions about Cloves routines, what she liked and disliked and put me at ease straight away, He sent me videos and photos each day to update me on how she was doing I really appreciated this and gave me peace of mind knowing she was living her best life with him! I would definitely recommend Frazer and will be booking Clover in again the next time we go away.”
About: I’ve looked after neighbours family and friends dogs for years and have always had dogs growing up and as an adult . I’ve had my current dog for nearly 3.5 years and trained him as a puppy Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine.

“Millie and Dan were amazing looking after my dachshund lunatics. We got daily updates and loads of pictures of all their adventures. Millie allows the dogs to feel at home, and creates a very relaxed environment for the dogs. My dogs came home in very good conditions and very content. We will definitely rebook when we go on our next holiday.”
“George was an amazing dog sitter! He was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. George kept me updated and treated my dog like his own. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking him again.”
“Victoria looked after our dog Otto this weekend. He has stayed with her once before and always has the best time! It's so nice for us to see Otto excited to see Victoria again and for us to be able to relax knowing that he is being well looked after.”
