“This was the first time leaving Maisy, so we were very nervous. However, not only did Mark and his lovely partner accommodate us last minute (due to change of circumstances), but they welcomed Maisy with a very warm and calm nature. This enabled Maisy to settle quickly, putting our minds at ease. Mark sent regular updates, photos and videos throughout her stay. It was wonderful to see her having such a lovely time, being spoilt with lots of attention and treats and being well loved. We would not hesitate to book with Mark again, in fact, we are already planning to, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who genuinely understands and loves dogs.”
“Absolutely fantastic service with Rhys and his doggie Bear. Django settled in soo well he was very well looked after had great adventure days and comforting cuddles in the evening.i was reassured with updates and photos whilst I was away and Rhys was great with communicating when django had a flare up and needed to increase his medication. I will 💯 use Rhys again when I need django to be looked after. Highly recommend rhys he goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is receiving the best love and care”
“Our pup had such a lovely time at Sophie’s and can’t wait to go back. Sophie is a professional at making sure your dog is comfortable and happy, and she was so easy to coordinate with. Thanks so much x”
“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic! Great communication from enquiring, to booking a visit to make sure our dog got in well with Barney, to booking, before our stay and durn, we had regular videos and photos and communication with Matthew, when we messsaged we would get a reply pretty instantly which was lovely being our first time away from Belle. She has come back happy and content and believe that is all down to Matthew and the family making her so welcome, keeping her routines and the way she likes her bed and things. Thank you so so much, we will be booking again for this year as we feel so comfortable at ease, and Belle instantly took you.”
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 😊
“Loki had his 2nd boarding holiday with Ela and her daughter and he just loves his time with them. They are both huge dog lovers and really enjoy their time with him. It’s so wonderful knowing that we now have Ela to call on to look after our boy when we go on holiday or need day sitting. 5 ⭐️ service and would highly recommend.”
“Amber had an amazing time staying with Jacqui and Ralph. She went on lots of lovely walks and had a great time playing with the other dogs. I was kept updated everyday with lots of videos and photos. I would highly recommend Jacqui and will definitely be boarding Amber with her again next time we go away.”
“Marley has come back super happy from his holiday with Vanessa! So lovely to see how genuinely fond she became of him and the feeling was obviously mutual. Will definately be returning. Thankyou so much Vanessa!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“I can not thank Bridget enough for caring for Billie just like she was her own! I would highly recommend Bridget, she kept me up dated with messages and photos during the stay. Thank you!! ✨”
“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!”
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!
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.
“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.”

“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!”
“Samantha was amazing! So professional, kind, helpful and my cats absolutely loved her. Think they were upset when I came back home! Right from the start, Samantha was so organised and incredibly helpful. She immediately removed any worries or anxiety I had about leaving my fur-babies (they're actually fur-pensioners now) alone for a few days. Samantha was very flexible with my schedule, went above and beyond with the service she provided, and always kept in touch with messages, photos, and videos. One of my cats, Herbert, is a bit shy, but he warmed to Samantha quite quickly. My other cat, Melody, adores Samantha! Would absolutely 100% recommend Samantha to anyone, and I'll definitely be using her service again. Thank you so much! 😊”
“Sophie was an absolute lifesaver when our other catsitter cancelled on the morning of her first visit whilst we were away abroad! Sophie sent lovely photos of our cat which really put my mind at ease and our cat took to Sophie right away! Couldn’t recommend Sophie enough, thank you so much ❤️”
“Savannah was great at responding quickly, especially to our last minute requests due to work schedules. Very happy to have someone reliable who can pop in and play with our little Frodo to break up his day!”
“Aneta looked after our dogs for the first time at the weekend, they warmed to her instantly and she took time to understand what our dogs liked/disliked. We’ve rebooked Aneta for a week or so in September and we feel happy and comfortable knowing our dogs are in good hands.”
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: 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: 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.
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic. Both our young cats loved her. Her warm and positive energy was really welcoming and from the videos she sent, the cats had a great time. Our house was spotless when we returned which was so nice. I would highly recommend Carolina and can't wait to rebook her!”
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.
About: I Currently have two Cats that I helped birth Tash and Gizmo. They are my housemates. I love them to bits ! I've had cats my entire life and the most I owned was 9 when I lived on a farm ! I'm an emergency first aider, calm in a crisis and almost lost Tash last year when she was bitten by a rat. She needed surgery and it was a 3 month recovery where I didn't leave her side. I organised a fundraiser to help pay the huge vets bill after vets suggested we put her down. She's currently snuggled on my lap and I'm so glad we both fought for her to still be here ! I will treat your cats like they are my own and 99% of cats warm to me almost instantly. I've owned birds, rabbits, reptiles, rats, dogs, pygmy goats, sheep and kune kune pigs.. all as pets !
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 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.
“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 !”
“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”

“Honestly, Win loves going to see Mark and Donna, we have the happy squeaks in the car on the way, scratching at the door to get in quicker and doesn’t even look back at us. Thanks for everything”
“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.”
“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!”

“Moose had such a fab time with Jacqui and her family. He was treated like one of their own and enjoyed trips to the horses, fields and the forest! We were kept up to date with photos and updates which set our minds at ease. Thank you so much 😊”
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: 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’ve looked after dogs since I was 10 whether that be my own dog a family dogs neighbours dogs washing them bathing them walking and feeding them and grooming them I am currently not working due to moving up this way recently so have full availability to come and dog sit play with your pets Monday to Friday anytime needed I have a contained garden and a friendly little dog who loves walks and being outside I can easily get a dog in a create if that is what’s needed
About: 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.”

“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”
“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!”
“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!”
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!

“Sophie is an excellent dog walker. Blue is always delighted to see her. Sophie has been very flexible about my booking and has been happy to work around my work schedule.”
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: 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’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: 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
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.

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

Daily updates and pics were wonderful to have. It was good to know he was in safe hands. Would highly recommend and use again!”
“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.”
“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!!”
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!
“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.”
“Ria has been amazing. She was able to take out mad dalmation teenager at last minute with no fuss. He was collected and kept in a secure garden and we received photos and update to keep us assured of his well being. We are so grateful for her care and attention and would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you”
