“Reggie had a fantastic three night stay with Jenny. From our first meeting to the stay, communication has been great. During the stay, Jenny sent us plenty of updates and photos, including on his walks. He was having such a lovely time we were a bit worried Reggie wouldn't want to come home! I would definitely recommend Jenny.”

About: I'm in my forties and I've taken care of many pets throughout my entire life ranging from cats, dogs, ferrets, rats and more. I walk dogs for friends and neighbors regularly and love them like my own. As I'm not working at the moment I'm able to take and walk pets all week, even in the late evenings. I'd be available from around 8-9am to 11pm. I'm capable to take care of medicated pets by giving medication or even providing first aid. I have experience in grooming and bathing dogs. Energetic and high maintenance dogs are also welcome as I have experience and am happy to walk far and spend hours with them at the park. I prefer to keep dogs on leash when walking them to avoid any risks.

“Paddy had the most wonderful time. Shelagh and Pete gave him the best holiday - lots of cuddles and plenty of fun running in their field with their dog Spike. We couldn’t have asked for more. When we picked him up he seemed completely at home so we wouldn’t hesitate to book him in for another stay. Very grateful for all of Shelagh’s care and attention.”

“I left Bear with Murad and his wife for the night, it was the first time he’d boarded in a different house but, by the photos I received, he settled straight away! He was thoroughly spoilt during his stay and I was provided with photos and videos of his sleep over. He has been snoozing all day since I picked him up!! Suffice to say he thoroughly enjoyed it and we will definitely be using Murad again☺️”

“Macy took such good care of our little chap I think he misses her. The whole family were welcoming and some enjoyed walks and playtime too. This is obviously a dog loving household. Communication was great and we had lots of pictures and videos clearly showing a very smiley and happy dog. If there was anything that Macy was unsure of she contacted us directly which we appreciated. We would not hesitate to ask Macy to care for our very energetic little terrier again as we know he had an amazing time. Thank you Macy for looking after him as if he were your own.”

“We decided to book Ewa's home boarding services quite last minute when our original plans fell through. We were quite apprehensive at first, as we were worried our 1 year old schnauzer would be too much to handle and wouldn't settle with Ewa and Patrick's dog JJ. The whole time we were away on holiday Ewa kept us updated on Cole with lots of pictures, videos and messages on what he was up to and how he was during the day. The frequency of communication between us really put us at ease as we hadn't done anything like this before. We were really pleased to know that our dog Cole was so well behaved and seemed to have a lovely time on his own little holiday. I would definitely recommend Ewa's services to anyone, she is very professional and a lovely person who you'd be happy to leave your pets with. I would book Ewa's services again anytime in the future if her and Patrick are avaliable. Thank you for everything!”

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Bramble, received while we were away on holiday! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable and loving hands and that she’d have a playmate, gorgeous Buddy to hang out with too!! It was clear right away that Jo truly cares about the animals she looks after. Bramble was given plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. We received updates on how she was doing with photos, which really put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our trip without any worry. When we returned, Bramble was relaxed and happy. It honestly felt more like she had a little holiday of her own! Would 100% recommend Jo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much 😊”

“This was the first time I had used Rover for my one year old (very small) Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Ed and Jan were fantastic. They immediately gave me peace of mind and looked after Fudge really well - in fact, they spoilt her so I am sure she will be keen to go there again!! I would not hesitate in recommending Jan and Ed, and can't thank them enough for looking after Fudge so well.”

About: We offer home-from-home holiday boarding in Tiverton, where your dog will be treated as part of our family and receive lots of love, attention, walks and company. We have two children and our own lovely female Cockapoo, so I am currently accepting: 🐾 Female dogs only 🐾 Friendly, family-friendly dogs 🐾 Holiday/overnight boarding My own Cockapoo is currently not spayed, so for everyone’s comfort and safety I am only accepting female dogs until she has been spayed. I only take a small number of dogs so that each one gets plenty of individual attention and isn’t simply one of many. A meet & greet is required before booking so we can make sure your dog is comfortable with us and our home. If you’re looking for a genuine home environment rather than kennel-style boarding, please get in touch. 🐾❤️ We are a working family so your dog will be with our cockapoo who is walked mornings, lunchtimes and evenings During the day there is always someone in/out the house so they won’t be left for more than 2 hours Fenced garden and quiet area We live in a culdesac so not much traffic at all There are walks nearby on the old railway line and knightshayes

About: About Me Hi! I’m Sophie – a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area surrounded by fields, with a secure open garden and a small enclosed one right next to my house. I work from home, so your pets will never be left alone – they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. I share my home with my own friendly crew: 🐾 Kisa, my gentle elderly dog who’s the queen of calm cuddles 🐾 Harley, an older collie mix who still plays like a pup 🐾 Mimi, a sweet 9-month-old kitten (friendly to all – except the local voles 😅) I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and indoor-only cats. I’ve also cared for dogs with complex needs, including those with seizures, deafness, and medication routines (oral meds, injections, eye drops – you name it). I’m happy to accommodate special care and will always work with you to ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I prioritise keeping owners informed and at ease – I know how hard it is to leave your furry family behind, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. ❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday routine! I live and work from home, so I’m always around to give the animals in my care plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. (I work in cimla voluntarily on weekends - can sit in that area) Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, supervised play in the garden, or peaceful strolls through the nearby fields, your pet’s needs easily fit into my schedule. I’m used to working around feeding times, medication schedules, and different energy levels — from playful pups to snoozy seniors. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. I sometimes volunteer on the weekends but that's as and when! Pets in my care are treated like extended pack members from the moment they arrive. I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and comfortable — whether that means quiet time, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual routine. At my home, I have an open garden surrounded by peaceful countryside, perfect for sniffy walks and fresh air. I also have a smaller enclosed garden right next to the house for potty breaks and supervised outside time. I never leave pets unsupervised outside. Inside, pets have full access to safe, cozy spaces, with comfy spots to relax and regular opportunities for cuddles, enrichment, and play. I supervise all interactions between pets and always follow your preferences regarding routines, feeding, sleeping, and exercise. I have experience with: Administering medication (oral, eye drops, injections) Caring for elderly, deaf, or anxious animals Managing multi-pet households calmly and safely Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I aim to create a calm, stress-free experience where they feel loved and you feel reassured 🐾

Williton, TA4

About: My wife and I have always had pets and have been around animals since a very young age. Together we have had a Dalmatian who lived an amazing 14.5 years, meaning we have experience in tending to senior dogs. We now have an energetic Fox Red Labrador and 2 affectionate cats. We absolutely love animals and will always go out of our way to make sure that they are happy, loved, safe, and well-fed. We're very patient and gentle and understand that every pet is different. My wife and I work from home fulltime so will always be around to spend time with your pet(s). We tend to walk our dog Nancy early in the morning during the week, either through the fields or at the beach. At the weekend we often try to find new places to explore, making sure to avoid the hottest parts of the day. We have a fenced back garden and live in a nice quiet area on the outskirts of Williton, facing fields with horses and passing steam trains in the distance. We have a very friendly dog who loves the company of other dogs and is great at sharing her treats and toys. We have a hose and paddling pool in the garden to help them keep cool in the hotter weather. We also have 2 very easy going cats who come and go as they please. We can have safety gates in place if required, but we would ask that you only book with us if your dog is happy to be around cats. We want your pet to be as happy and comfortable as possible during their stay with us, so please let us know if they have any particular requirements.

“Paddy had a wonderful stay with Shelagh and her husband Pete. Paddy can get overexcited on meeting new people and had not boarded away from home or stayed with another dog before so we were uncertain how he would react. We needn’t have worried. Shelagh and Pete are very animal aware and felt he’d settle into his new routine. He had an initial two day visit, spent a lovely time running free in the enclosed field, and we returned to collect him finding the two dogs perfectly happy wandering around together. A real success - we instantly booked Paddy for a week’s stay so we could go away on holiday on our own. Very pleased and grateful for Shelagh & Pete’s care.”

“From the meet and greet, it was clear that Helen is a sensible, down-to-earth person who genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. The meeting was relaxed and unhurried, giving Shadow plenty of time to get to know Luna and the other dog staying at the time, as well as allowing plenty of opportunity for questions from both sides. The pre-stay forms were reassuringly thorough, covering all the information Helen would need to ensure Shadow’s needs were fully met. On the day of Shadow’s stay, Helen kept me regularly updated, and it was clear he was having a wonderful time — not only playing with the other dogs, but also, importantly, feeling comfortable enough to relax. It was a very hot day, and Helen did a great job of striking the right balance between giving the dogs enough exercise and keeping them cool. The set-up is fantastic, with plenty of safe indoor and outdoor space for the dogs to roam and relax. 10/10 — I will definitely be booking again!”

About: I own a gorgeous mixed dog breed so have direct experience as well as my childhood home hosting various cats and dogs. I have dealt with heartbreak and pure pleasure. Currently in between jobs so could do with some extra money. Each week I can be flexible. Evenings are also a possibility as well as weekends. I have a modest sized house with sufficient fencing. I live alone. No children. I own a dog myself so I am very aware of what is too much .

About: ✨ Get £15 off your first booking with code KATIE87093 ✨ Hi, I’m Katie. I’m 38 and live in a small countryside hamlet near Tiverton. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that love has stayed with me my whole life. These days my partner and I share our home with four rescue dogs and three cats, so caring for animals is very much part of everyday life. I currently work as an Animal Care Assistant in rescue, supporting dogs with a wide range of needs, and I’m studying for a degree in dog training and behaviour. Before working in rescue, I was a registered nurse, so compassion, reliability, and attention to detail are at the heart of how I care for both people and animals. If you are looking for someone experienced, calm, and genuinely passionate about animals, I would love to help. Dog walking: I offer tailored dog walks around Tiverton and the surrounding countryside. Every dog is different, so walks are adapted to suit their personality, energy level, and health. Some dogs enjoy a relaxed sniffy stroll while others prefer a longer countryside adventure. My aim is always to give dogs safe exercise, enrichment, and a positive experience. I am comfortable working with puppies who are learning about the world, senior dogs who need gentler exercise, anxious or reactive dogs, and dogs with health conditions such as hip dysplasia. Safety, calm handling, and patience are always my priority. Drop in visits / home visits: If your pet is happiest staying in their own environment, I offer 30 minute or longer drop in visits. Visits can include letting dogs out for toilet breaks, feeding and fresh water, playtime and enrichment, litter tray cleaning, administering medication, and plenty of company and reassurance. I am also happy to help with small household tasks while you are away, such as watering plants, bringing in post, or turning lights on and off. You will always receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and cared for. Dog boarding: I also offer short periods of home boarding for well matched dogs. Dogs staying with us become part of our daily routine and enjoy walks, enrichment, and lots of company. Our own dogs have morning and evening walks, shorter lunchtime enrichment, including plenty of sniffing games and brain work or just playing in the garden! They aren’t a terribly high energy bunch, so they’re just as happy relaxing by the fire with us too. We have a secure fenced garden and visiting dogs are always supervised. Introductions are done gently, often starting with a short walk up the lane so everyone can settle naturally. We are used to supporting nervous or reactive dogs and understand the patience and calm approach they need. Quiet spaces and a separate room are available for dogs who prefer their own area. Other pets: Alongside dogs and cats I have experience caring for many other animals including rabbits, rodents, chickens, exotics, horses, and farm animals. If you have a small menagerie at home that is absolutely fine with me! Qualifications and experience: - Animal Care Assistant in rescue - Former Registered Nurse with a first class degree - BSc Psychology 2:1 including animal behaviour - Dog Training and Behaviour Degree Level 6 - in progress - Experience with international rescue organisations - Fostered dogs and cats with complex needs - Owner of Bark and Bramble natural dog treats - Run Waggy Trails Dog Park - DBS checked and public liability insured - Clean driving licence and vehicle fitted with dog seat belts and crate if needed I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to provide calm, attentive, personalised care. If you would like to chat or arrange a meet and greet, please feel free to send me a message. I would love to hear about your pets and how I can help. Katie x I work in rescue and am currently able to offer early morning or afternoon drop ins on working days, but I can be flexible on days off. I know all animals needs are different and have experience with anxiety and reactivity, so I will always adapt my interactions to suit them. I will care for them exactly as you wish in both my own home and yours - you know them and their needs better than anyone.

“Emily and her partner with great. Made us feel so at ease from the start. Asked lots of good questions to understand Paxo and how to best care for him. She took him out for a lovely long walk and he had a great play with her lovely dog, and then they settled in for some nice down time. Paxo was in very safe hands and will will look forward to using Emily again in the future”

About: I'm in my forties and I've taken care of many pets throughout my entire life ranging from cats, dogs, ferrets, rats and more. I walk dogs for friends and neighbors regularly and love them like my own. As I'm not working at the moment I'm able to take and walk pets all week, even in the late evenings. I'd be available from around 8-9am to 11pm. I'm capable to take care of medicated pets by giving medication or even providing first aid. I have experience in grooming and bathing dogs. Energetic and high maintenance dogs are also welcome as I have experience and am happy to walk far and spend hours with them at the park. I prefer to keep dogs on leash when walking them to avoid any risks.

About: I have grown up taking care of animals and have a wide variety of experience. Personally, I have always owned cats and have been taking care of my neighbour's dogs for the past 11 years. Professionally, I have just completed my veterinary training at the University of Liverpool and have spent the last 5 years learning to care for animals and putting this in practice on placements (both in and out of clinical settings). As a minimum, we complete 38 weeks of placement outside of our studies and the last year and a half of our degree is spent on rotations in veterinary hospitals. I have been trained in small animals (mainly cats, dogs and rabbits), equine and farm species (mostly cows and sheep) but I am mainly interested in working in a small animal veterinary setting when I enter practice. For now, I am taking a year-long break between my studies and entering full time work. Because of this training, I have a good understanding of animal care and behaviour, am capable of reading animals and their cues, can administer medications and notice if a pet is unwell and of course, have a great deal of love for animals! (Let me know if you would like more details of specific experience, I can happily provide this but is quite a long list) I am currently unemployed as I have just graduated after 5 years at university and have decided to take a year long break before I enter into full time work as a veterinarian, and so I am pretty available! From anxious to over-excitable, I make an effort to understand each animal's temperament and interact with them accordingly which usually means we can get on well! I am more than happy to receive information about a pet's personality and likes / dislikes ahead of meeting them. When taking them out for walks, I am open to suggestions on locations, especially if they have favourite routes and will keep them on the lead unless given specific permission otherwise and in an area I deem safe. I understand it is a lot to let a new person care for your pets and enter your home so I am happy to meet (if local and schedules permit) or at very least call with you before starting and keep you updated via phone if you are away so that you have peace of mind. (Also as a proud plant owner myself, I can tend to these while you are away too!)

I live alone. No children. I own a dog myself so I am very aware of what is too much .

About: Hi everyone! I have been providing dog walking and house-sitting services for friends and colleagues over the years, and I now have some extra free time and would like to offer my services to more dog owners. I have experience looking after both small and large breeds. Having lived in South Africa, I am very comfortable around larger, more active dogs. I also recently welcomed a Cockerlier called Chloe into my family, so I am equally happy looking after smaller dogs. I am happy to adapt to your dog’s individual needs and to follow the commands, routines and instructions you already use with your pet. I can also help reinforce basic training and teach simple tricks. For more active dogs, I am happy to provide longer walks or even a steady jog if that is what your dog needs. I am based in Taunton but can travel further afield. I am also regularly available around Exeter, where my partner lives. I can offer dog walking on some weekdays and am available for house sitting during most school holidays. If you are looking for someone reliable, active and caring to walk or look after your dog, please feel free to get in touch. Even if you are unsure whether I can cover your area or accommodate your needs, just ask! I am free most school holidays. This is when I'm most likely to be free to help with your pet care needs. Feel free to contact me to check availability especially if you are based in Taunton I am a part-time teacher, so I have some free mornings and afternoons during the week. I am also available for most school holidays and can be quite flexible, so please feel free to get in touch to discuss what you need.

When we picked him up he seemed completely at home so we wouldn’t hesitate to book him in for another stay. Very grateful for all of Shelagh’s care and attention.”

Suffice to say he thoroughly enjoyed it and we will definitely be using Murad again☺️”

Communication was great and we had lots of pictures and videos clearly showing a very smiley and happy dog. If there was anything that Macy was unsure of she contacted us directly which we appreciated. We would not hesitate to ask Macy to care for our very energetic little terrier again as we know he had an amazing time. Thank you Macy for looking after him as if he were your own.”

We left our two goldens with Dom for a week and just know they had the absolute best time (which always helps with the feelings of guilt when you leave your babies!) Dom takes care of your dogs as if they’re her own - even had them sleeping in her bed! Constant communication and updates, with pics and videos. Will 100% be asking Dom to look after them again - home a few hours and I think they’re missing her!! Thanks so much ♥️♥️”

“We decided to book Ewa's home boarding services quite last minute when our original plans fell through. We were quite apprehensive at first, as we were worried our 1 year old schnauzer would be too much to handle and wouldn't settle with Ewa and Patrick's dog JJ. The whole time we were away on holiday Ewa kept us updated on Cole with lots of pictures, videos and messages on what he was up to and how he was during the day. The frequency of communication between us really put us at ease as we hadn't done anything like this before. We were really pleased to know that our dog Cole was so well behaved and seemed to have a lovely time on his own little holiday. I would definitely recommend Ewa's services to anyone, she is very professional and a lovely person who you'd be happy to leave your pets with. I would book Ewa's services again anytime in the future if her and Patrick are avaliable. Thank you for everything!”

Adell was brilliant with communicating with us- giving us daily updates every few hours and took Betty on some amazing walks! Some of the photos she captured of Betty on her adventures with Adell are now printed and up in the house 😍 Betty soon had another snuggle buddy after long walks and was always happy in the photos Adell sent us! We will definetely reach out to Adell for future boarding we need as we felt comfortable leaving our furbaby with her and Edgar! Thank you again Adell 🤩 Rachel, Owen & Betty 🐾 x”
