“Loki clearly had an amazing stay with Ela and has come home one very happy boy. We loved the daily pup dates and photos. He was clearly very settled and happy with Ela and enjoyed his adventures with her. 5 ⭐️ and we are looking already at booking his next stay with Ela. Highly recommend.”
“Definitely recommend Mark & Donna if you are new to looking for a dog sitter / family for your pet. We had never used someone that we didn’t know before for our sausage dog Reggie and I so pleased that we found Mark & Donna. Reggie had a great time and Mark kept us updated with photos , videos and messages over the weekend which was great. Reggie looked like he had the best time and made some cute four legged friends as well as humans 🥰 Thank you for making the whole process easy and comfortable for us. Would definitely use again.”
“Dougie loved his time with everyone in this household especially Bonnie (their own dog). He was well looked after with appropriate walks, fuss and attention. We were very well updated and Dougie looked like he was one of the family. We were put wonderfully at ease in meeting our hosts and felt very confident leaving Dougie with them.”
“Thank you so much for looking after our Eric for last week. We feel so comfortable leaving him with you. You are such , lovely animal loving people. Until next time, Thank you 🙏.”
About: I've always been a bit dog obsessed from a young age and have had a number of dogs myself, including an English Setter rescue from Croatia who'd never lived in a home before & was anxious around many dogs, excluding my lovely Labradoodle, who was his safety blanket, so a lot of love, patience & training was required to give him his best final years of life. I currently have an extremely friendly & sociable Clumber Spaniel X bitch, 16 months old who loves life & would welcome any dog in her home for a day or sleepover/s. So, recent experience of older dogs who just want comfort, company, cuddles & a short stroll to a manic puppy who didn't have an off switch...which I've since found! I live within walking distance to fields & the coastline & work from home with a secure garden so can offer your dog a little holiday whilst you can enjoy yours guilt free knowing that they are happy too! I currently work part time from home, apart from Thursdays when I volunteer for Animals in Distress for 4hrs, so have plenty of time for walks & play time. I have a fenced in secure garden & have a large crate available for your dog if they feel more secure in a crate and they can enjoy the company of my very well socialised dog Clemmie. Should I ever need to pop out I have a Blink camera so that I can always keep eyes on!
“Dexter had a lovely time staying with Vanessa whilst we were off getting married, she sent photos to reassure us he was happy, and we would recommend her in a heartbeat 😊”
About: I am self-employed, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my availability and hours. I also have two animal-loving children who are at nursery and school during the day, allowing me plenty of time for feeding visits, companionship, playtime and check-ins 🐱💕 I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their cats are safe, comfortable and well cared for while they are away. I always make sure pets have a calm, clean and secure environment, follow routines carefully, and give them plenty of attention, reassurance and fuss. I am respectful of owners’ homes and will always keep communication open with updates and photos if requested 😊
“I can’t recommend jacqui enough. Our dog, Floyd, was so well looked after and we could see in the videos jacqui shared that he enjoyed being with other dogs. It was lovely being able to leave him and have complete peace of mind. We have already booked 2 further stays.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Kimberly was absolutely amazing. I felt completely at ease leaving our Billy Boy with her. She sent us photos from his walks, kept us updated, and he came home happily exhausted. When we arrived, both she and her partner brought him to the door, which was such a warm touch. Thank you again! we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!x”
“Charlotte was exceptional in her care for Ember. When our travel plans changed, she was flexible to readjust and took such good care of our fluffy labradoodle. We had plenty of photos, videos and updates and Ember slotted straight in to family life and walks with Charlotte’s family and other dogs. We were kept up to date with everything throughout the stay and felt confident in Charlotte’s experience and care for dogs. We would highly recommend booking with her! Ember came back one happy pup!”
“Nicky was really friendly and able to be flexible when our travel plans / arrangements were altered. It was clear that our dog had a great time with her and he was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. The photos and videos she sent during his stay were greatly appreciated - especially by my daughter!”
“Lovely couple who looked after Honey and Chico well. Unfortunately there was an altercation between the resident dog and Honey which means that we can't leave them there again, which is a great pity. Matthew handled the situation extremely professionally and we knew nothing about it until we returned from our break. Had he contacted us, it would have spoilt our holiday. So thank you Matthew.”
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.
“Oswald had a lovely time with Harrison and came back very happy! Harrison was very communicative and sent some lovely pictures of Oz which put me at ease. I'll definitely use him again in the future.”
About: Although I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I’ve grown up around animals and have my own dog, so I understand how much love, attention and care they need. Because I work away at times, it isn’t practical for me to have more pets of my own, which is why I love having the opportunity to care for other people’s beloved animals when I am home from work. When I’m home from work, I’m home full-time, so your pet will receive plenty of companionship, attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, daycare or boarding, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I’ll happily keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind. I love animals of all kinds and would be delighted to meet your furry family members. I can’t wait to give them lots of love, cuddles and attention while you’re away! I work on a rotational schedule, so my availability varies throughout the month. When I’m home, I’m home full time and can provide plenty of attention, walks and companionship. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so you’ll always be able to see my availability before booking. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I’ll take the time to learn about their routine, personality and any specific needs before their stay, so they can feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise, medication or favourite routines. My home is calm, clean and pet friendly, with plenty of space for your pet to relax. I’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay, walks or my visits so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy and well cared for.
“Abbie was great! Milo definitely seemed to enjoy his stay. Good communication throughout, from booking to meet and greet and then from beginning of Milo’s stay until we collected him. Daily updates and pics were wonderful to have. It was good to know he was in safe hands. Would highly recommend and use again!”

“Sam was absolutely amazing looking after my 16 week old kitten. Absolutely spot on with everything towards her at such a young crazy age Kiki is. Sam is totally professional in all her ways from start to finish in all matters and we will 100% be asking her to look after our cheeky little lady 🐾🐾🐾🐾😻”
“Jaime is a kind and professional young lady who will give your cats the best of cares ! When she got to our house, she immediately made friends with the shyest of our two kitties- she clearly has "the cat touch " ! During our weekend away, we regularly received photos and videos of Cobweb and Floki feeding and playing, which made us feel happy and reassured. We got home to two happy kitties, and will definitely use Jaime's services again !”
“Savannah is a great sitter. Lots of photos and a very happy cat who showed no signs of stress at all on my return. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future 😀”
“Sophie spent time with Belle twice per day, while we were away. She played with Belle, made sure she had a clean litter tray allowed her time out in the garden and made sure she has fresh water and fed her at every visit. Sophie’s care attention to detail and prompt visits twice per day, reassured us that Belle was in the safe hands, we very much appreciated all care and attention. Thank you”
“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”
About: Hi! I'm Amber and I have been working with animals for the last 10 years. I currently work as a mixed taxa keeper at Paignton Zoo, covering reptiles, mammals and birds Because of this, if you have any other animals, I am more than happy to give them the care and attention they need whilst looking after your cat! I have had to medicate different animals over the course of my career so this would not be an issue either I have my own snake (along side my cat who I'll get to in a minute!) and so I am more than happy to defrost and feed out mice (and other food items) if required for your cold blooded babies! I am also happy feeding out insects as I work with many lizards and have previously kept them myself. As for my cat...well he's certainly a menace! I have had him since March 2024 and he has truly changed my world. Previous to this, I lived with my sister for many years who had a bengal cat, so I'm no stranger when it comes to caring for them! Cats certainly have unique personalities and I can easily change my approach based on whether I'm caring for a confident or shy cat, whatever is needed of me I will provide I drive so I can travel easily, but please be aware my normal working hours mean that I am out the house between 7.30am and 5.30pm.
About: Had cats all my life growing up and even have two little kittens of my own that we rescued from a shelter. Caring and calm nature and ready to take good care of yours too. I work part time so am looking to help people out with the cats on my days off during the week and weekend as needed/required. Our kittens are still under 1 so are indoors during the winter but they did have little tasters of the garden during the summer months last year.
About: I have always had my own pets, and looked after friends and families pets when they have been away from there homes. In my own experience its alot nicer for animals to be in their own homes and surroundings. I had put my own cat in to a cattery when on a previous holiday and she was very distressed and did not want to eat. This is one of the reasons I want to start up this new venture. I have looked after rescues, kittens and senior cats. I also have been feeding and caring for Guinee pigs, rabbits , hamsters and dogs. I love nothing more then giving strokes and cuddles to all animals.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet lover who treats every cat or dog like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy cuddles, your pup will get tons of attention and love with me. I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet’s in great hands.
“Tim was wonderful. Let us know when he was in the house feeding the cat and then.let us know when he was gone. Sadly Leo is too shy to for Tim to hang out with but he still provided picture of what he'd been up to. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you very much Tim”
About: I would love to have my own cat again one day, but due to my work schedule it isn’t currently practical. This is one of the reasons I enjoy the opportunity to care for other people’s pets when I’m home. I’ll always make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable and cared for, while respecting their space and following their usual routine. I’ve owned cats in the past and have experience caring for cats with different personalities and routines. My partner also has two cats, so I’m regularly around them and understand the importance of respecting their space while making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll follow their routine and your instructions to help them feel relaxed and happy.
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, having dogs, cats, rats, fish and a hedgehog as a child. I currently live with my partner and our two cats, however I am often pet sitting for friends and family, usually for my partner's family's dogs (dachshunds, border collies and chihuahuas). The border collies in our family are quite old and require daily medication, which is something I'm used to scheduling my days around. When we first got our cats they came to us with fleas, so I'm also no stranger to the occasional flea bath and ear mite check.
“Carolina was a great catsitter. We met before the sit started, and on the day spent a bit of time on the handover before we left, and there were no problems at all for her or us during the sit. With the exception of one of the cats possibly needing to go to the vet for a small wound! And Carolina handled this perfectly: she kept us up to date on progress, with lots of photos, and we discussed between us what to do for the best. The cat healed up just fine - I absolutely trusted Carolina's judgement throughout. When we got home the cats were obviously very happy and contented. A perfect sit.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I understand that every cat is different. Some are confident and playful, while others can be shy, nervous or prefer their own space. I’m happy to take the time to get to know each cat and give them the care and attention that suits them best. When looking after your cat, I’ll make sure they’re fed according to their usual routine, have fresh water, a clean litter tray and plenty of attention and affection. Whether they enjoy cuddles, playtime or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’m happy to provide home visits for holidays, weekends away, long days at work or whenever you need someone you can trust to check in on your cat. I can also keep you updated with photos and messages during my visits, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and being well cared for. Your home and your pet will always be treated with care and respect, and I’ll make sure their normal routine is disturbed as little as possible. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring and experienced to look after your cat, I’d love to hear from you!
“Carly was amazing and sent me daily updates and photos while she house sitted looking after Baggins and I felt reassured while we were on holiday he was being looked after and cared for and got loads of fuss and playtime. I would highly recommend Carly and when we go away again I will definitely want her to look after Baggins”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats, both my own and for others when they’ve needed someone they can trust. Friends and clients often describe me as reliable and attentive, always making sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every cat as if they were my own. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always take the time to give them the love, patience, and care they deserve. 🐾

“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.”
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.
“Mark looked after my dog poppy for 16 days ,he kept in touch with texts and photos every day,poppy is a nervous dog and being with Mark and his wife brought her out of her shell as he takes care of other dogs at the same time. she got used to being with other dogs so we are going to continue with Mark one day a week so she doesn't go backwards after all his progress with her.i cant recommend Mark enough,he has worked wonders with poppy .”

“Pepper had a lovely few hours with Vanessa. She fell asleep about 20 minutes after I left her, a sure sign she was happy and relaxed. Vanessa is a very kind and gentle person and that showed so much in how Pepper was with her. I was sent photos too during the four hours so I could see how settled she was. I’d highly recommend Vanessa ♥️”

About: We absolutely love experiencing and exploring new places with our doggies (as you'll see from the photos). I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and my first career was in veterinary nursing, which I practised for five years before welcoming my daughter into the world. Although that was some time ago, my background has given me invaluable experience in animal care, including administering medication, recognising changes in behaviour, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I now work in a school, which gives me plenty of availability during school holidays. My husband works from home, so there is usually someone around to provide company, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Our home is shared with our two friendly and mischievous Mini Goldendoodles, Philip and Wilbur, and our cat, Pumpkin. We offer a warm family environment with a secure walled garden, patio area, and spacious reception rooms with plenty of room for play, relaxation, and the occasional zoomies. We also have two animal-loving children (aged 8 and 11) who enjoy helping to give visiting pets lots of affection and attention. Every dog is different, so walks and activities can be tailored to suit their age, energy level, ability, and individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply a cosy place to relax, we will do our best to make them feel happy, comfortable, and part of the family while they are with us. I work part-time in a school, which means I have plenty of time available for walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the week and during school holidays. My husband works from home full-time, so there is usually someone around to provide supervision, attention, and plenty of fuss throughout the day. We are fortunate to have access to beautiful local beaches, woodland walks, and open fields, allowing us to tailor each walk to suit your dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. Most dogs can enjoy two walks per day, typically ranging from 40 minutes to an hour, alongside garden time, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles at home. Every dog is different, so their routine can be adapted to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and getting the right amount of exercise and stimulation. Whether your pup enjoys energetic adventures or gentle strolls, we'll make sure they feel right at home with us. On the weekend we love exploring and going for days out as a family, furries and all! We have a fairly big house with lots of space for relaxing, play and zoomies, accompanied by decent sized, grassy garden and patio area. We have plenty of room for your dog to be crated if desired. Our dogs are all friendly and your pet would be treated like one of the family.
About: Dogs have always been my world. From raising my own border collie to caring for others, I’m relied on for love, reliability, and peace of mind. I work part-time from home, so I am available to give your pup as much attention and time as possible! I will do a morning and afternoon walk, with plenty of playtime in between! I have a fenced and secure garden with plenty of space! My border collie Max, who is very friendly, would also love the company. This is a smoke free home, and my partner and I take good care of our home and our pets wellbeing and safety.
“Carly was incredible. I couldn't have asked for more for Pilchard. She was so kind, patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. Pilchard isn't the easiest of pups at the moment and is in full puppy stage but she got him to nap, gave him lots of exercise, sent beautiful photos, and let him spend time with her lovely children which he clearly loved. He was a very happy, content pup when I collected him. Thank you Carly, I can't tell you how much I appreciate how well you cared for him.”
“Our whippet, Cleo, had a lovely day with Jade. Jade asked lots of questions and made sure she had all the important info for looking after Cleo. She took her on a lovely walk and sent us photos so we knew she was happy and settled. Cleo looks forward to returning!”
“Another great day! Lots of outdoor time (walks and play), as well as positive interaction with other dogs. This was our dog Max's second visit to Jacqui, and he settled right in. As before, great communication and some lovely short videos and photos of Max's day. Highly recommended.”
“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”

So I am home all day as I have a studio in my back garden. I have a 7ft fenced large backyard, fully secure. I have koda my golden retriever, who loves playing with others.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I was young and will soon have my own puppy to look after. I’m also very trusted by all my neighbours to look after over night of, take for a walk, or have for the day their dogs. I work from home and i have three children, two of which go to school so i am very flexible in the week and flexible at the weekends to come and care for your pets. I own my house with my own private garden, my house isn’t the biggest but it is dog proof due to having my own and I am very respectful in other peoples home, my neighbours trust me to go over and care for their animals in their own homes.
“Savannah and Jamal were so good with Luna, she looked so happy in the pictures that were sent over! Luna can be reactive so finding someone to trust with her can be difficult but both Savannah and Jamal asked loads of relevant questions and followed all instructions giving me peace of mind of Luna’s safety when they were out walking! Definitely recommend them and already looking at re-booking with them! Thank you guys ☺️x”
About: I’ve been dog walking and boarding for over two years, and I’m usually the first call when friends need someone to care for their pets while they’re away. I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been part of my life. I’m a massive dog lover (my daughter is too!), and your pup will be treated like one of the family. I’m currently working part time and my job allows me to be home almost all the time. I tend to have max. of 2 dogs at time so they get as much attention and care as possible I am based in Livermead, only 5mins from the beach where dogs are welcome even during the summer and 5mins drive to Cockington park. Walk along seafront is always good too! Garden is fenced, and location is perfect for walkies.
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, having dogs, cats, rats, fish and a hedgehog as a child. I currently live with my partner and our two cats, however I am often pet sitting for friends and family, usually for my partner's family's dogs (dachshunds, border collies and chihuahuas). The border collies in our family are quite old and require daily medication, which is something I'm used to scheduling my days around. When we first got our cats they came to us with fleas, so I'm also no stranger to the occasional flea bath and ear mite check. I enjoy spending my evenings with my own cats after work, however I work very close to home so can happily spend my lunch breaks at home if your pet is boarding with me. I tend to work Monday to Friday 9-5:30 and have weekends free, however I do often have Mondays and Tuesdays and odd afternoons off work too. I have two gorgeous cats of my own who have free range of the house and back garden as we live in quite a secluded, safe area away from main roads. I am more than happy to keep windows and doors closed for the safety and comfort of your pet, however the back garden has high fences so would be safe for a dog. We have plenty of toys and comfy places to nap around the house and a water fountain to ensure the animals keep hydrated.
About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 7 years, providing one-to-one walks and building strong, calm relationships with each dog I care for. During that time I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including those that are nervous, reactive, high-energy, or just need a bit more understanding and patience. My approach has always been simple — no force, no harsh corrections, just calm, consistent handling and taking the time to understand the dog in front of me. I focus on building trust and creating a safe, relaxed environment where dogs can feel comfortable. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I adapt my approach depending on what each individual dog needs. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve had my own dog by my side for many years. He’s taught me a lot about behaviour, patience, and the importance of building a genuine connection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my days around providing calm, one-to-one care, so each dog gets my full attention without being rushed. I’m used to planning my time carefully and working independently, which allows me to be reliable and consistent. I’m available most mornings and early afternoons during the week, with some flexibility depending on the day, and I can also offer occasional weekend availability. I always make sure I have enough time for each walk or visit, so dogs are never rushed and can settle into a calm, relaxed routine. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I always treat both the dog and the home with the same level of respect and care I would expect for my own. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions, so I can keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible for them. My approach is always calm and patient. I avoid rushing, and I make sure dogs feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I’m confident handling different temperaments, including dogs that may be nervous or need a bit more space and understanding. Safety is always a priority — whether that’s secure handling on walks, making sure doors and gates are properly managed, or simply being aware of the dog’s behaviour and surroundings at all times. I aim to provide a relaxed, reliable presence so both the dog and owner can feel at ease.

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: Although I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I’ve grown up around animals and have my own dog, so I understand how much love, attention and care they need. Because I work away at times, it isn’t practical for me to have more pets of my own, which is why I love having the opportunity to care for other people’s beloved animals when I am home from work. When I’m home from work, I’m home full-time, so your pet will receive plenty of companionship, attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, daycare or boarding, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I’ll happily keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind. I love animals of all kinds and would be delighted to meet your furry family members. I can’t wait to give them lots of love, cuddles and attention while you’re away! I work on a rotational schedule, so my availability varies throughout the month. When I’m home, I’m home full time and can provide plenty of attention, walks and companionship. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so you’ll always be able to see my availability before booking. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I’ll take the time to learn about their routine, personality and any specific needs before their stay, so they can feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise, medication or favourite routines. My home is calm, clean and pet friendly, with plenty of space for your pet to relax. I’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay, walks or my visits so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy and well cared for.
About: I've done my Level 1 & 2 Animal Care at Bicton College. It was an amazing experience and I've had hand on experience with a variety of animals from dogs to llamas and even a skunk. The pets I've grown up with have always been very well cared for. I have previous experience on this various platfroms, but unfortunately after a fractured bone in my foot I had to take a break from it and remove my profiles. Now it is fully healed and I've been medically cleared to return, I want to get back into my pet sitting as it was a major passion of mine before the injury. All of the pictures you see on here is of previous animals that I've sat for. I'm fully flexible and can take all the time I need to look after the animals. I have no other obligations to fill at this point in time so can be with the pets at all times. While I can't drive, I know the bus routes extremely well and always make sure I'm punctual and if needed, have a close family member who is happy to drive me. I cannot offer pet sitting services in my home, but I'm more than willing to sit in the owners home. I will be able to do drop ins and walks too.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me over 20 years of hands-on experience. While these have been our family pets and my parents' animals, I have lived with them for a large part of my life and have always shared the responsibility of their daily care. Growing up with them taught me how to accurately read animal body language and understand their unique personalities. I treat every pet with the same patience and affection that I give to my own family animals. Because I work entirely from home, I offer maximum flexibility for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sittings. When staying at your home, I bring my remote workspace with me, ensuring your pets are rarely left alone during the day. This flexible routine means your animals will enjoy constant companionship, plenty of attention, and regular toilet breaks while I work right alongside them. Your pet’s safety and routine are my top priorities in any environment. I am highly experienced at managing dogs of various sizes on a leash, keeping them safe and secure during outdoor outings, and I strictly follow all household rules. I am deeply respectful of your home, naturally tidy, and create a calm, low-stress space that is perfect for anxious or shy pets. You can always count on me for open communication, quick replies, and frequent photo updates so you can enjoy total peace of mind while you are away.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 12. I helped my mini dachshund Lola give birth to her puppies and helped to rear them til they were ready for their new families and homes. I have had ducks, rabbits, mice, dogs, cats and even a horse. I love to spend time with all animals and my children (11 & 14) do too. I am on trusted house sitters and I have 5 star reviews. I have an enhanced DBS and insurance. I will treat your pets as though they are part of the family. I am currently home schooling my 14 year old son so I am pretty flexible for whatever your pets needs are. I will try to accommodate what you prefer for your lovely pet and if I can’t do what is required I will always try to come up with a solution. I can come to you or your pet can stay with us. We have a lovely big garden which is self contained. We are not far from Meadfoot beach and lovely parks and walks nearby.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 12 years of experience as a dog owner, as well as many years of caring for dogs for others. I have two beautiful dogs. One is a beautiful x large rescue dog. When she was rescued, she was extremely nervous and frightened of both people and other dogs. With patience, consistency and lots of love, she blossomed into a gentle, calm and affectionate giant who absolutely loves cuddles and exploring woodland walks. She truly showed me just how much patience, understanding and love can transform a dog's confidence. ❤️ I also have a very sociable miniature Dachshund. She is the Timone to my other big girl Pumba. Personailities to suit too!

About: The pets that I look after have fun with me and you can be sure that they will be very well looked after and kept safe I am retired and have plenty of time - though I do travel quite a lot. I can house/pet sit almost anywhere in the world (if you pay my airfare!) I insist on complete information relating to the pet and their home. All aspects of the pet’s routine must be communicated to me and I try to meet the pet prior to the commencement of the assignment

“Dougie loved his time with everyone in this household especially Bonnie (their own dog). He was well looked after with appropriate walks, fuss and attention. We were very well updated and Dougie looked like he was one of the family. We were put wonderfully at ease in meeting our hosts and felt very confident leaving Dougie with them.”
About: I've always been a bit dog obsessed from a young age and have had a number of dogs myself, including an English Setter rescue from Croatia who'd never lived in a home before & was anxious around many dogs, excluding my lovely Labradoodle, who was his safety blanket, so a lot of love, patience & training was required to give him his best final years of life. I currently have an extremely friendly & sociable Clumber Spaniel X bitch, 16 months old who loves life & would welcome any dog in her home for a day or sleepover/s. So, recent experience of older dogs who just want comfort, company, cuddles & a short stroll to a manic puppy who didn't have an off switch...which I've since found! I live within walking distance to fields & the coastline & work from home with a secure garden so can offer your dog a little holiday whilst you can enjoy yours guilt free knowing that they are happy too! I currently work part time from home, apart from Thursdays when I volunteer for Animals in Distress for 4hrs, so have plenty of time for walks & play time. I have a fenced in secure garden & have a large crate available for your dog if they feel more secure in a crate and they can enjoy the company of my very well socialised dog Clemmie. Should I ever need to pop out I have a Blink camera so that I can always keep eyes on!
“Dexter had a lovely time staying with Vanessa whilst we were off getting married, she sent photos to reassure us he was happy, and we would recommend her in a heartbeat 😊”
“I can’t recommend jacqui enough. Our dog, Floyd, was so well looked after and we could see in the videos jacqui shared that he enjoyed being with other dogs. It was lovely being able to leave him and have complete peace of mind. We have already booked 2 further stays.”
“Nicky was really friendly and able to be flexible when our travel plans / arrangements were altered. It was clear that our dog had a great time with her and he was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. The photos and videos she sent during his stay were greatly appreciated - especially by my daughter!”

“Oswald had a lovely time with Harrison and came back very happy! Harrison was very communicative and sent some lovely pictures of Oz which put me at ease. I'll definitely use him again in the future.”
“Abbie was great! Milo definitely seemed to enjoy his stay. Good communication throughout, from booking to meet and greet and then from beginning of Milo’s stay until we collected him. Daily updates and pics were wonderful to have. It was good to know he was in safe hands. Would highly recommend and use again!”
“Rebecca and Martyn were great. This is the first time Willow stayed overnight with someone new and we were a bit nervous. Rebecca sent us pictures and updates about Willow throughout the evening. They took her for nice walks and then to the beach. She had a brilliant time with Koda and Kenai and she certainly looked really sad on the way back home. Thank you Rebecca & Martyn”
