“Joshua and Julie have been amazing from day one. They are amazingly quick to respond to messages, when I first contacted them I heard back within minutes. They were incredibly accommodating by letting us meet them with Nova as a meet and greet a few months before her first stay. We felt very comfortable and confident in them immediately. Nova has just had her first overnight stay and it was great. We received photos and video clips regularly and that was really reassuring. She has a couple more stays booked and we will not hesitate to leave her with Josh and Julie in the future. We are very grateful and appreciative”
“Moose absolutely loved staying with Laura and Otto, he was very well looked after and had a great time playing, going on walks and cuddling! Received lots of wonderful videos of how happy he was all weekend. Couldn’t recommend Laura more!”
“This was the 1st time we'de left our 20month old, very energetic Border Collie, so was a bit anxious about leaving him, I needn't have been. Colin and Mel were fabulous, we had 2 meet and greets, once at their house and once at ours and Bear just loved them both. He has had wonderful walks in the apple orchards and lots of water play as it's been so hot. We've had regular Pup updates on all his activities and when we collected him we could see just how happy he was there with them. I will certainly not hesitate in rebooking with them and won't worry about leaving him with 2 lovely people.”
“Victoria was absolutely lovely! Our happy little puppy Dain had a great time, and came back happily exhausted. Victoria kept him very busy, running around the garden and playing with the other dog. She was lovely to meet in person, very understanding and helpful. 10/10!”
About: Hi there! My name is Rachel, I’m a 29 year old working professional based in Taunton and I live with my partner in a fully detached house with a large secure enclosed garden, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs all my life, and featured in my photo is our family dog Coco, a mini Pomeranian who I absolutely adore. I regularly dog sit for friends over weekends and love taking their dogs out for walks and adventures in the countryside. I enjoy being outdoors and discovering new walking spots, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention and companionship. I work from home on Mondays, meaning I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, feeding and company. Although we don’t currently have pets living with us, our home is very pet friendly and calm, making it a great environment for dogs to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m available on weekends and love spending time outdoors on long walks and adventures with dogs. Most of my friends have dogs and I love going for Saturday morning coffee and dog walks with them. I also work from home on Mondays, so I’m around all day for walks, feeding, toilet breaks and plenty of company. Your dog will get lots of attention, playtime and care throughout their stay! Your dog will be cared for in a calm, loving home with a large secure enclosed garden where they can safely play and explore. I currently don’t have pets, so your dog will have plenty of space and attention. I always make sure dogs are well looked after, exercised, comfortable and treated like part of the family!
“Ernie loved his time with Jenny. She kept us informed with regular photos and updates which was lovely! We brought home a happy and relaxed dog, we couldn’t ask for more! Thank you Jenny for taking such good care of our boy :-)”
“Margot had another great stay with Talita, Neil and Mala. We were kept updated with fun videos of their walks and cute pics of them relaxing afterwards! Margot always has so much fun and is sad to leave!”
“My Olde english bulldog (ted) came to visit nick and his family. He had the best time playing with max (the family dog). Nick provided updates and sent us photos during his stay. Ted went out on new walks with nick and Max. Ted is super excited to come back next month. It's really nice to know our furbaby is left with such a lovely family and is really well looked after when we are away. Would HIGHLY recommend !!!”
“Macy was absolutely fantastic with our french bulldog, Bella, while we were away on holiday for six nights. From the moment Bella stayed with her, it was clear how much love, care and attention Macy puts into looking after dogs, and we were so grateful for how warmly she welcomed Bella into her day-to-day family life rather than just “watching” her. She spent time playing with Bella, made sure she felt included and comfortable, and it was obvious that Bella was being treated like one of the family. We also really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away and showed just how happy and settled Bella was. Macy is kind, caring, thoughtful and clearly loves dogs, and we would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a genuinely wonderful dog sitter. Thank you Macy for doing such a good job x”
“We all took to Freya straightaway. She’s just lovely with both humans and dogs. Sid was very comfortable with her and Lottie her cute Pomeranian. He came back a very happy but tired dog. Sid can pull at the start of a walk when he's very excited but Freya took this in her stride and she spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be asking Freya again.”
“Fraser and his wife were absolutely lovely and Magnus liked them from the first meeting. We felt confident we were leaving our beloved boy in good hands. We got multiple photo updates and Magnus seemed to be having a great time. When we picked him up we heard even more good stories about their time together. You couldn't find a nicer couple to entrust your dog or cat to.”
“Pixel stayed with Chloe for 3 weeks while I had a major operation. I must say that Chloe looked after Pixel beautifully especially since this was his first time away from me for this long. I would recommend her highly.”

“I booked Oscar for the first time, and I'm so glad I did! I have two challenging cats—one is blind and the other is a little anxious—and Oscar went above and beyond to make sure they were well looked after. He kept me updated throughout, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Oscar and will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Oscar—you were amazing!”
“Angela always takes such good care of our 2 old girls. They really love her and we get regular updates from her with pictures. She spends time in the house and gives our cats some outdoor time, which I know theley both appreciate. We've been using Angela for at least 4 years now, and never had any issues, so I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Lucy was fantastic and took very good care of my cat. She was very accommodating and willing to take care of her, especially at reasonably short notice. I was provided with daily updates from her without fail, which gave me peace of mind. She will be the person I use when I need someone to take care of my cat in the future.”
“Katie has been great for us this past week, we don't live close but she accommodated us in her work week anyway. She sent updates and was very respectful of our house in our absence. Naturally she didn't see our cats, for they are rude and elusive, but they ate what she left so that's proof of life enough for us! Thank you Katie 😊”
“Thank you Katie for the wonderful care you gave my cat. He needed eye drops which can be a stressful task and you did it effortlessly. You also provided dedicated out of hours care and medication which ensured he had the recommended doses each day for a very painful eye ulcer. When he was hospitalised you sent lovely pictures of him and reassuring updates that he was settled and eating well. Thank you once again for all your excellent care.”
“First time ever using a cat sitter and I was quite anxious — but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Our little Pumpkin was clearly well cared for, communication was great, and we came home to a happy, relaxed cat. We felt completely reassured and would 100% book again. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up with cats of my own and looking after cats for neighbours, friends, and family has given me experience with cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every cat is different. Some love attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space. I take the time to get to know each cat and follow their usual routine, helping them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I know how important it is to leave your cat with someone you can trust. I’ll make sure they are well cared for, whether that means feeding, cleaning litter trays, providing company, playtime, or simply checking in on them and making sure they’re happy. What makes me different is that I genuinely love spending time with cats and treat every one as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in safe and caring hands

About: I’ve had spaniels the best part of my life, currently sharing a house with a 2 year old sprocker called Mylo. Firefighters as my full time job so have a good amount of time to take dogs for walks when on my days off! I work a 2-2-4 pattern, so 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off, so have ample time to fit in dog walks around my shift pattern. Fully enclosed large garden for dogs to play in, am able to walk dogs alongside my spaniel Mylo. Happy to keep on lead if that is what the owner requests.

About: I recently retired from a 20 year career in the Army before settling back in Taunton with my husband Dave and our 3 children. With excellent communication and organisational skills your bookings and questions are promptly answered and reliable. I am very personable and you will find a friendly and professional welcome. Having always had dogs in my life, I have experience with young puppies, boisterous energetic breeds, shy, nervous and reserved rescues and elderly slower dogs. I have cared for dogs throughout my career and more recently in my home for family and friends on a casual basis. I am now turning this experience into a more professional offering.

About: With lots of hands on experience caring for animals after many years of pet ownership! From owning pets at the age of three, to looking after loved ones' pets and working in wildlife conservation - I am a huge animal lover and have spent nearly my whole life surrounded by them! My experience mostly lies with dogs, cats and rabbits - but also varies from sea turtles to other marine animals! In my background, I have developed a strong knowledge and understanding of animals and their needs. I know how important it is to provide them with attention, companionship, exercise and, most importantly, safety! I am familiar with caring for pets - including feeding, walking, administering basic care, maintaining routines and ensuring they feel comfortable and happy. I am currently a Marine Biology student, who loves nature/animals and will be living at home over the summer, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and provide them with bespoke care! At my home, I have a front gate/porch and a fenced back garden to keep your fur baby safe and secure. Also, I can easily crate your pet if necessary. I do not have any other pets or children present in my home environment, nor is it a busy setting with lots of activity or high noise levels. I believe clear communication is key, as I am aware that each pet is unique and has individual requirements, alongside every owner having personal preferences. I will always do my very best to provide the top level of care for your pet.
“Another fantastic day stay for Ruby. Talita and Neil, as always took exceptional care with her and she had such a fun time with Mala running about and napping together We are looking forward to the next visit”
“Teddy's daycare with Fran was everything we could have asked for. She sent us pictures during the day and Teddy looks to have had a great time on a walk in the woods with other dogs. He seemed reluctant to say goodbye! Will definitely be using Fran again. Thank you!”
“Was able to take my pup Molly in last minute. Trustworthy and looked after my pup very well and went above and beyond. She was taken for a nice long walk which I wasn’t expecting which was amazing would highly recommend and will definitely arrange for my pup to see him again”
About: My family got our first dog at aged 10, and our second when I was 17. I have cared for them both since they were puppies- teaching them to wait for food, fetch, lie down and even high five! As my first dog got older, I learnt how to be respectful of him as he didn't want to be played with all the time and was slightly more temperamental. This taught me to be patient and how to be around older dogs. Our second dog is a playful cocker spaniel with bundles of energy, always wanting to go on walks, which I am of course happy to do! I can therefore care for dogs of all ages and of many different natures as each one is unique and special in their own way. I am available anytime between 22nd July and 1st September. If I am unavailable, my sister can usually cover bookings- she is a Uni student studying animal science and bioveterinary course so has lots of experience with animals! I am able to do house visits and am happy to feed, play with or even just sit with the dog to keep them company! I can have pets in my home, but only if they get on with other dogs and small animals. I can do a whole day visit, a quick stop in, or I can take them on walks. I will send pupdates throughout the day of your fur babies so you don't have to stress while you're away from home!
“I've never left my dog with anyone other than people we know well, but due to unavoidable circumstances I had to find someone to care for her. Kimber was amazing, she arranged for a meet and greet to see how well the dogs got on and whether my dog would suit the household etc. Atty had the best time with Kimber, so much so that she happily ran into the house the next day to greet her new friends! Kimber provides photo updates and a debrief of the day when I collect Atty. Shes easily contactable and I can tell she absolute adores having my dog there & makes her part of the family. My dog leaves very sleepy from all the walks, play and attention! I feel so lucky that I messaged Kimber & if I need dog care again will 100% be reaching out to her first!”

About: I am a fully insured and qualified professional, having studied animal management level 3. During my studies, I gained experience walking, caring for and training dogs and various other animals. I have been pet sitting for 5 years now and have experience with animals needing medication, specialised care and anxiety. I have two cats myself, and have experience with birds, rabbits, small pets like hamsters and many other animals. I am currently available weekdays as well as weekends so have plenty of time to look after animals as well as check up on them I have experience with different animals and many different needs that they may have and am able to adjust well and see what they may need at anytime.
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all sizes, so being around animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had multiple pets growing up and am very comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on many occasions, looking after dogs and other animals in their homes and making sure they are well cared for and settled. I’m confident, calm, and tend to be the first person to approach and connect with an animal, even if they are shy or unsure. My focus is always on building trust, keeping routines consistent, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine as I currently work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility and time throughout the day. I’m available for walks during the day, as well as drop-ins, and I can offer boarding any day of the week. Having a flexible schedule means I can give dogs consistent attention, regular exercise, and company throughout the day. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels safe and settled. I take time to understand their feeding, walking, and comfort needs, and always prioritise calm, attentive care. I’m very respectful of others homes. I make sure things are left clean and tidy, including food areas, floors after walks, and any mess that may happen during the day. I’m mindful of keeping doors, gates, and any house rules exactly as requested, and I always ensure everything is secure and as I found it before leaving. My aim is for both the pet and owner to come home to a calm, clean, and well-cared-for space.

About: I’ve always taken care of the pets of my friends, family and neighbours and have recently been using the borrow-my-doggy app to help look after the dogs of locals on a volunteering basis. This has included walking the dogs and having them overnight, with one client saying she teared up because of how helpful I was! I currently have no fixed working hours, so I am completely flexible! I can be a morning person or night owl depending on your pet, in order to adapt to their schedule in the most convenient way possible for you and them. I have a spacious area with 3 rooms and an open plan layout as well as stairs to allow your pet space to roam and run free, before heading out to the many amazing walking areas right in front of the gated property I live in. I have dog toys from when I looked after previous dogs and food/water bowls suitable for both dogs and cats. There’s never anything sharp or dangerous or in the way on the tidy floor of my house, making it the perfect place for your pet to roll around or play-fight, or just to rest after we’ve walked, played, cuddled, trained.. whatever your pet wants:)
“Agata is a very reliable dog walker and carer for your pet. She is brilliant at sending photos and videos and keeping in touch. Punctual and trustworthy. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have a beautiful Labradoodle named Otto and have been caring for dogs since I was young. I work from home Wednesday through Friday, and with a spacious, secure garden, my home is the perfect environment for pets to feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home Wednesday to Friday and manage my own schedule, which allows me to be highly flexible and available to help whenever needed. I have a beautiful big garden that’s safe and secure which is perfect for lots of time in the garden. I also have a tiled porch, which is great for the hotter days.
About: I know dogs well and can handle all and any, however as I have a small child now I only accept well behaved dogs, easy to walk and dogs that will get along with my dog. I’ll treat your dog as if he/she were my own - with lots of love and care and the occasional sneaky sprat. We have an acre of land your dog(s) can run around and play with my dog Jett and some fantastic walks nearby that we do at least twice a day. I am currently not working and am a stay at home mother to my dog and child, we spend most days pottering around the garden and enjoying the outdoors. We have a fenced off acre of land where dogs can run around freely at their own leisure. On a cold day we would go for a walk in the woods and then cozy up by the fire to warm up.
About: I provide a calm, comforting and loving environment for your dogs! We have two resident dogs (spaniels) but have an enough space to keep the dogs separate if needed. There are no children, cats or other pets in the home. Most importantly we give plenty of cuddles! Your dog will be well looked after alongside our two dogs. We go for daily walks and if I do need to pop out they are never left for long. If dogs cannot be left alone at all then we can usually accommodate for this. It’s just me and my partner, we live in a detached home with a secure garden in a quiet village. We are happy to provide a home-from-home experience so your dog feels relaxed. Although our own dogs are friendly, they will not be left alone with visiting dogs and they are always fed and sleep separately.
“Tianna was great when we contacted her at short notice to request a walk for our doodle puppy. She promptly came to meet him and get to know him. As a puppy he’s not used to being left for too longer period so it was great that Tianna was able to take him out and make s fuss of him so that when we returned home he was calm and settled . Thanks Tianna we hope you will continue to provide walks for Barley when needed in the future.”
About: We didn’t just adopt a dog—we welcomed a quiet, gentle soul into our home. Our rescue greyhound called teddy arrived with cautious eyes as if the world was still something to be figured out. Now teddy has his favourite sunny spot, his funny sleeping positions, and his little bursts of playful energy that catch us by surprise. Ted has gone from unsure and afraid of the world to completely at ease, and in doing so, hes changed our home too. It’s warmer, calmer, fuller. Watching Teddy learn to trust has been the most rewarding part. The first tail wag when we came home, the first time he leaned into us for affection, the moment he chose to rest his head on our lap—each small step felt like a milestone. It’s a reminder of how resilience and kindness can transform a dogs life so much . We have had teddy for 5 years now and he is a completely different dog displaying such confidence and joy in everything he does I am currently studying from home therefore your pet will be my top priority and i will have plenty of time to take care and play with them . I will always make sure your pet is in a comfortable and safe situation. I have an anxious dog myself and i know how to keep them calm on walks and avoid other dogs . I am experienced when it comes to identifying the signs of a dog feeling threatened or scared by other dogs making me the perfect protector for your pet.

“Joshua and Julie have been amazing from day one. They are amazingly quick to respond to messages, when I first contacted them I heard back within minutes. They were incredibly accommodating by letting us meet them with Nova as a meet and greet a few months before her first stay. We felt very comfortable and confident in them immediately. Nova has just had her first overnight stay and it was great. We received photos and video clips regularly and that was really reassuring. She has a couple more stays booked and we will not hesitate to leave her with Josh and Julie in the future. We are very grateful and appreciative”
“Moose absolutely loved staying with Laura and Otto, he was very well looked after and had a great time playing, going on walks and cuddling! Received lots of wonderful videos of how happy he was all weekend. Couldn’t recommend Laura more!”
“This was the 1st time we'de left our 20month old, very energetic Border Collie, so was a bit anxious about leaving him, I needn't have been. Colin and Mel were fabulous, we had 2 meet and greets, once at their house and once at ours and Bear just loved them both. He has had wonderful walks in the apple orchards and lots of water play as it's been so hot. We've had regular Pup updates on all his activities and when we collected him we could see just how happy he was there with them. I will certainly not hesitate in rebooking with them and won't worry about leaving him with 2 lovely people.”
About: Hi there! My name is Rachel, I’m a 29 year old working professional based in Taunton and I live with my partner in a fully detached house with a large secure enclosed garden, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs all my life, and featured in my photo is our family dog Coco, a mini Pomeranian who I absolutely adore. I regularly dog sit for friends over weekends and love taking their dogs out for walks and adventures in the countryside. I enjoy being outdoors and discovering new walking spots, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention and companionship. I work from home on Mondays, meaning I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, feeding and company. Although we don’t currently have pets living with us, our home is very pet friendly and calm, making it a great environment for dogs to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m available on weekends and love spending time outdoors on long walks and adventures with dogs. Most of my friends have dogs and I love going for Saturday morning coffee and dog walks with them. I also work from home on Mondays, so I’m around all day for walks, feeding, toilet breaks and plenty of company. Your dog will get lots of attention, playtime and care throughout their stay! Your dog will be cared for in a calm, loving home with a large secure enclosed garden where they can safely play and explore. I currently don’t have pets, so your dog will have plenty of space and attention. I always make sure dogs are well looked after, exercised, comfortable and treated like part of the family!
“Margot had another great stay with Talita, Neil and Mala. We were kept updated with fun videos of their walks and cute pics of them relaxing afterwards! Margot always has so much fun and is sad to leave!”
“My Olde english bulldog (ted) came to visit nick and his family. He had the best time playing with max (the family dog). Nick provided updates and sent us photos during his stay. Ted went out on new walks with nick and Max. Ted is super excited to come back next month. It's really nice to know our furbaby is left with such a lovely family and is really well looked after when we are away. Would HIGHLY recommend !!!”
“Macy was absolutely fantastic with our french bulldog, Bella, while we were away on holiday for six nights. From the moment Bella stayed with her, it was clear how much love, care and attention Macy puts into looking after dogs, and we were so grateful for how warmly she welcomed Bella into her day-to-day family life rather than just “watching” her. She spent time playing with Bella, made sure she felt included and comfortable, and it was obvious that Bella was being treated like one of the family. We also really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away and showed just how happy and settled Bella was. Macy is kind, caring, thoughtful and clearly loves dogs, and we would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a genuinely wonderful dog sitter. Thank you Macy for doing such a good job x”
“We all took to Freya straightaway. She’s just lovely with both humans and dogs. Sid was very comfortable with her and Lottie her cute Pomeranian. He came back a very happy but tired dog. Sid can pull at the start of a walk when he's very excited but Freya took this in her stride and she spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be asking Freya again.”
“Fraser and his wife were absolutely lovely and Magnus liked them from the first meeting. We felt confident we were leaving our beloved boy in good hands. We got multiple photo updates and Magnus seemed to be having a great time. When we picked him up we heard even more good stories about their time together. You couldn't find a nicer couple to entrust your dog or cat to.”
“Andre was great, he is Quick to response to any queries, great rural location with nice big enclosed garden for dogs. Sasha and Ziggy took to him straight away and both loved all the attention, thank you for having them.”
“Chloe was fabulous. Willow had a lovely stay it was the first time she had stayed away with someone she didn’t know. I had lots of updates and photos sounds and looked like she had a great time!!”
“We left Duque, our old dog, with her for 3 days and we are very happy! Good communication, good care, good people! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their patience and understanding especially because Duque also had health problems! We recommend her!!!❤️ Irina , George and Duque !”

At our meet and greet she was straight in with cuddles and treats. our two stayed 2 nights with Tianna and her partner. i was sent regular updates and videos and they were taken both days to an enclosed field so they could have lovely off the lead run and play. Our two loved their time there and slept all evening once home! highly recommend.”
“Gary had a lovely time with Bronte, Sam and Teo. Would definitely recommend. We had lots of pictures and updates and they made us very comfortable leaving him knowing he would be well looked after.”
“From the moment Donna opened her door I knew my old spaniel Lulu would be in good hands. A warm welcome, good communication throughout the stay and a happy dog on my return. Couldn’t ask for more! Many thanks.”
“Anna was lovely. The dogs enjoyed their stay and were included in her social calender. Communication was excellent including regular photos and videos. The dogs were relaxed, shown love and affection, and treated as part of the family. The house and environment was suitable for dog sitting, the walks were regular and we were extremely happy with the overall experience. We couldn't be happier and will definitely be booking another stay with Anna in the future.”
“Amirah and her family took great care of Bhuna. Lot of updates and photos on how she was getting is always reassuring to see she's having a good time. Would definitely recommend Amirah for anyone who's dog likes being in a family environment. Would happily book again.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Wilson with Louise who was so accommodating and really made sure he was happy for his short stay. Regular updates and photos reassured me even further. I wouldn’t hesitate for Wilson to stay again!”
