“Ella looked after Brian for a week whilst we went on holiday. She is really friendly and kept us up to date with photos and videos which was great. Brian has returned from his stay as happy as ever. Will definitely be using again.”
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.
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 😊
“Another return to Mark n Donna’s, Freya has had a wonderful time playing with the other fur babies and going for nice walks. Lots of happy videos being sent back to me of Freya’s stay. She has had a total blast.”
“Our puppy Teddy has just stayed with Vanessa for 9 nights. We felt Vanessa provided a home from home in a relaxed environment. Vanessa sent regular updates and photos throughout his stay. We are pleased we have found someone we can trust to take good care of Ted. He loved his time there. Thank you so much Vanessa.”
“We booked our dog, Nelly in with Claudia last minute due to being let down. She was really accommodating, making sure she knew everything about Nelly before she arrived. Claudia kept in touch during the whole stay, sending videos, photos and updates. Nelly had a fantastic time and looked like she had a better holiday than we did.”
“Rhys looked after George for me last weekend, I think they both had a brilliant weekend. Rhys clearly loves dogs and enjoys looking after them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone👍”
“Ernie clearly had such a lovely time at Jacqui’s this weekend. The pics and videos she sent to me showed what a lovely, varied weekend he had with woodland and beach walks. He is now a very tired pup!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tyson loved his stay with Sophie. Lots of pictures and updates which was more than welcome. He came back really really happy, and we felt very comfortable and reassure leaving Tyson with Sophie, especially as he’s only a puppy!”

“Hayley and her family were absolutely amazing with Missy and we couldn’t have asked for better care takers for her while we were away. Hayley kept me updated and sent pictures while we were away which gave great peace of mind. Missy was unsettled at times during the stay and Hayley and her husband went above and beyond to settle her and make sure she was happy. We are all so grateful for how well Missy was taken care of and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Matthew had Pippin to stay on the day of my Mum's funeral and I couldn't have been more grateful for their compassion and reassurance that Pips was in absolutely the best place that day. Would thoroughly recommend.”

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.
“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”

“This is the second time I've booked Tasha to drop in on my cats and I couldn't be happier. She really does go above and beyond to look after your animals. My cats are quite nervous but absolutely love her and always come out to investigate when she comes to visit!”
“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 😀”
“Bane loves having Sophie looking after him and the house is always kept beautifully neat despite his best efforts! I’m very lucky to have someone so caring looking after my boy!”
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: 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: 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.

About: About Me – Your Trusted Pet Care Provider Hi, I’m Hayley, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! From cats and dogs to hamsters, tortoises, and even fish—I’ve had the joy of looking after them all. My journey with animals started young, working in a veterinary practice while still in school. I then spent two years at Paignton Zoo while earning my BTEC in Animal Care, followed by university studies in Animal Science. My passion for animal welfare even took me to South Africa, where I self-funded a trip to work on a conservation park alongside incredible wildlife like elephants and lions. More recently, I sadly lost my beloved blue Staffy, Luna. She was my best friend, and her passing has left a paw-shaped hole in my heart. That’s why I’m offering my time, love, and experience to care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding, I provide a safe, loving, and experienced service you can trust. Let’s give your furry (or scaly!) family members the care they deserve! Get in touch today—I can’t wait to meet them. I work part time - on a hybrid basis- at home and elsewhere if needed. This means I have flexibility on working hours but on some days I may be out of the house for a few hours but I provide full transparency on this. Depending on your pets requirements I would love a chat and meet your furry friends to see how I can help you out! I have a welcoming bungalow with a fenced outside area. This does contain some stairs. I allow my pets on the sofa but they must be flea and tick treated. I have a large crate and a dog bed which can be located in our roomy utility room if they need a safe environment that’s quiet.
“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”

“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.”
“Lee and Emma are fantastic, Molly has so far had 3 days with them and she loves going and playing all day, she has so much fun and then lots of cuddles for momma and daddy in the evening after work. We can’t thank them enough for taking care of our baby. We would highly recommend and will be continuing using them weekly. Thanks so much guys.”

“Vanessa was a wonderful host to our large breed dog for some day care while we were visiting the area. She welcomed us warmly, clearly cares very deeply about animals and has a great knowledge of their needs. She has a professional but friendly approach to providing an excellent service for pet owners and the animals she cares for. She opened her home and garden generously for our dog to explore freely and find somewhere he was comfortable. She took the time to discuss and understand him and his needs as an individual on hand-over. She updated us that he was settled and happy during his stay. He was at ease with her instantly and he clearly had a great time when we collected him. We would be very happy to return to Vanessa in the future - Thank you!”

“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 .”
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.
“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
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.

About: I have had dogs snd cats since I was little. I have looked after and walked people’s dogs since I was 18 and I love bonding with different breeds and ages of dogs. I currently live with my partner and his family and we have 6 of our own dogs…we’re a bit dog mad! They also do dog sitting and walking, so I have a lot of experience! I have helped train puppies I’ve looked after in the past and also helped care for dogs on the older side. I adore all animals and would be happy to look after yours if needed! I am free most days, Monday to Friday but also happy to pet sit over weekends. I provide dog walking from 10am - 4pm on weekdays I live in an old farm house with a huge fenced off garden. Dogs are allowed free range of the house most the day but will be shut in separate rooms at feeding time. They have constant access to the garden and will be able to toddle off in the house and find somewhere comfy to chill out!
“5 stars! Bridget and Nick along with their adorable pup Presley made Stanley's stay a great one. Stanley was immediately comfortable with them and their beautiful home, and the enclosed yard is a major bonus! I enjoyed the text updates and pictures they sent to me, but mostly the level of comfort I have leaving my precious buddy in someone else's care!”
“Indie was so amazing with Molly. Really kind and professional and I really appreciated the pics/vids sent to update me how she was doing 🥰 Will definitely be using her service again in future ✨”

“Sophie is wonderful. I needed someone to look after my dog at very short notice when on holiday (solo traveller) with a dentist emergency. Sophie was responsive, very helpful and immediately helped ease my stress. Upon meeting her it was immediately clear she is a dog lover and my pup leaned in for fusses instantly. Total peace of mind while I was having emergency dentistry..... Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“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 been taking care of pets through borrow my doggy app, caring for a gorgeous border collie and many others quite recently and having had experience in my personal life of living with dogs. I am a respectful, experienced and dedicated pet sitter and helper. I enjoy all dogs and they have fun hanging out with me. Making sure their needs are met and more! Recently pet sat for a lovely black Labrador puppy for a few hours. I’m currently using this platform as my main job and therefor would be putting this first over other jobs I would have in the future as this is one of my passions. I have no prior commitments. I am available 24/7 At a pets home, I would discuss with the owner what the dog enjoys, preferences and accommodate within the discussions had and on top of that, I would bring treats specific if a diet was required. Being attentive is key and an awareness.
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

I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to fit your pet in! I’m available mostly In the week, but can make exceptions for weekends depending on the week 🥰 As my current living situation involves a rented home, I am unable to accommodate pets in this space. However, I want to reassure you that regardless of the location, I am committed to providing a safe and secure environment for your pet.
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: 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 had dogs snd cats since I was little. I have looked after and walked people’s dogs since I was 18 and I love bonding with different breeds and ages of dogs. I currently live with my partner and his family and we have 6 of our own dogs…we’re a bit dog mad! They also do dog sitting and walking, so I have a lot of experience! I have helped train puppies I’ve looked after in the past and also helped care for dogs on the older side. I adore all animals and would be happy to look after yours if needed! I am free most days, Monday to Friday but also happy to pet sit over weekends. I provide dog walking from 10am - 4pm on weekdays I live in an old farm house with a huge fenced off garden. Dogs are allowed free range of the house most the day but will be shut in separate rooms at feeding time. They have constant access to the garden and will be able to toddle off in the house and find somewhere comfy to chill out!
“Lupe is friendly and reliable. He has been walking Mally weekly for two months. She is happy with him and looks forward to their walks. He gives prompt and clear feedback. Mally can be a bit anxious outside and wary of strangers. She took to Lupe straight away and he managed her reluctance outside perfectly.”
About: Hello! I'm Harri & my better half is Jen. I have taken care of cats, dogs, and all sorts of other family pets most of my life. Jen's family used to volunteer to do puppy raising for guide dogs, so we have both always had dogs in our lives, and we love to sit our friends dogs whenever they need! We both absolutely love dogs but unfortunately aren't currently in a position to have our own, though we are on a (very long) waiting list for a beautiful Australian Shepherd puppy, which we hope to welcome into our life very soon. In the meantime, we'd love to look after your dog like they were our own! Available any time any day as currently in between jobs. Feel free to send me a request and I will fit you in around my job search. We live in a 3 storey townhouse which your dog will be free to enjoy with us. We only have a small courtyard garden but the beach is a 5 minute walk away. There is space for a crate/bed if needed. As we don't have any pets (or kids) of our own, your pup would have our full attention. We are always available to call or text for regular pupdates!

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.
“Our puppy Teddy has just stayed with Vanessa for 9 nights. We felt Vanessa provided a home from home in a relaxed environment. Vanessa sent regular updates and photos throughout his stay. We are pleased we have found someone we can trust to take good care of Ted. He loved his time there. Thank you so much Vanessa.”
“We booked our dog, Nelly in with Claudia last minute due to being let down. She was really accommodating, making sure she knew everything about Nelly before she arrived. Claudia kept in touch during the whole stay, sending videos, photos and updates. Nelly had a fantastic time and looked like she had a better holiday than we did.”
“Rhys looked after George for me last weekend, I think they both had a brilliant weekend. Rhys clearly loves dogs and enjoys looking after them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone👍”
“Ernie clearly had such a lovely time at Jacqui’s this weekend. The pics and videos she sent to me showed what a lovely, varied weekend he had with woodland and beach walks. He is now a very tired pup!”
“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.”
“Tyson loved his stay with Sophie. Lots of pictures and updates which was more than welcome. He came back really really happy, and we felt very comfortable and reassure leaving Tyson with Sophie, especially as he’s only a puppy!”

“Hayley and her family were absolutely amazing with Missy and we couldn’t have asked for better care takers for her while we were away. Hayley kept me updated and sent pictures while we were away which gave great peace of mind. Missy was unsettled at times during the stay and Hayley and her husband went above and beyond to settle her and make sure she was happy. We are all so grateful for how well Missy was taken care of and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”
