“Willow had a great stay with Michelle overnight whilst we were at Eden. I met Michelle for a virtual meet and greet before booking and knew immediately that Willow would be in great hands. We came back to a very happy doggy, and it was clear she’d been really well looked after and had a lovely stay. I’d definitely recommend Michelle and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again next time we're in the area 😊”

About: I am a designer who works from home, after always having dogs I miss their company a lot. Instead of getting a dog I decided to host dogs in my house. I live in a cottage in St Austell, tucked away in a quiet part of this seaside town. I have a lovely big garden with sunshine and shade where they can play or potter about. The cottage is cool and quiet and has everything a doggy would need. Your dog will never be left alone as I work here too. I only take one dog at a time or dogs from the same household so they will have a really personal experience that will be tailored to them and their needs. There is a wealth of glorious beaches and river trails only minutes away for playtime, walks and relaxing. I try and make every day like a doggy holiday even if they are only staying a short time. I have owned dogs myself as well as having grown up with one always in the household. I had my last dog from a puppy and fully trained him, we did agility classes together too. I have also owned a rescue dog in the past who I worked closely with a trainer for to understand his body language and his needs so I do have experience with dog behaviour. I work from home during the week so your dog will have lots of 1:1 attention as I need to take regular breaks away from the screen. I always walk in the morning, lunchtime and the end of the day as a way to get outdoors and it’s such a treat to do that alongside a doggy friend. I can offer a pet free, smoke free house with a fenced in garden. Please do bring anything your dog likes along to make them comfortable, maybe a bed and some favourite toys for playtime

“It was my first experience with Rover and I’m so glad I did. Harriet was excellent, I had text and video reports showing Jago having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Rover, especially Harriet”

“Laura, her husband and their lovely dog looked after my Cavapoo as if he was part of their own family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely reassured that he was in safe, caring hands. Laura was incredibly attentive throughout the day and kept us updated with lots of lovely photos and videos, which made such a difference. We could see him out enjoying walks, playing happily with their dog, relaxing around the house, and curled up comfortably on the sofa. It was clear he had settled in so well and was having a brilliant time. After his overnight stay, he was completely zonked out in bed, which said it all. He had obviously been well cared for, entertained, and made to feel right at home. We would highly recommend Laura. She made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring, and we were so pleased to see how happy and relaxed he was. Next time we are in that part of the world, we will definitely be saying hello to Laura and her family again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have hands‑on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. At home we have a 10‑year‑old who we’ve raised from a puppy, as well as a rescue dog who joined our family later on, so I’m used to supporting both confident, settled dogs and those who need a gentler, more patient approach. Caring for dogs has always been part of daily life for me, and that experience shapes the calm, reliable and attentive care I offer through Meadow Mutts. Dog care is my full‑time focus, and it fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day for walks, visits, playtime and settling dogs in. Our own dogs are part of our everyday rhythm, and welcoming guest dogs into that routine feels completely natural. Whether it’s weekday walks, daytime care or overnight stays, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, consistency and company. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. Our home is calm, secure and set up for dogs to relax, with safe enclosed areas and plenty of space to settle in. I supervise dogs closely, follow their usual routines and take time to understand their needs, whether they’re confident, nervous or somewhere in between. With our own well‑mannered dogs and a peaceful rural setting, visiting dogs enjoy a safe, steady environment where they can feel completely at ease.

“I can’t recommend this dog boarding enough! From the moment I dropped off my pup, I felt complete peace of mind. The care, attention, and love given here go far beyond basic boarding—it truly feels like a second home. Updates and photos kept me reassured, and I could tell my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for.”

About: I have always had dogs in my Mothers home in Hastings. I have looked after family and friends dogs too. I have enjoyed training dogs- its so rewarding. I love walking in forests and on the nearby Par beach (5 Mins.) I keep away from traffic where possible. I miss our pet dog, Daisy of 16 years of age but I have fantastic memories & photos to cherish. Locally I have looked after 4 or 5 dogs over the last 2-3 years. I look forward to providing a home from home for your dog, with plenty of cuddles. FYI- There is a new Vetinary clinic 5 mins walk from my home, incase of emergency. I am 5 minutes walk from a dog friendly beach. I love to walk every day. I have several parks and public coastal paths to choose from. It's nice to have some snacks on hand as a reward (by agreement with your dogs requirements.) I live in a single storey detached bungalow with a rear garden, which has solid boundary walls - so escape proof. I will ensure that your dog is kept occupied, with toys and we will go on regular walks in the area, keeping away from traffic. I will feed your dog in accordance with your instructions. This will be a home from home, with lots of cuddles. Look forward to meeting you & your dog. I shall keep in regular contact during the stay.

“Our dog had another great stay with Conny this week and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and commitment Conny gave to her during her stay. Lots of lovely photos sent so I could see Fig was very happy to be back with Conny. They seem to adore each other and Conny is perfect. Thoroughly recommended +++”

“Our dog took to Callan straight away and went to his door without looking back at us! On pick up 24 hours later - although happy to see us - she kept going back to his front door waiting to be let back in! We had photos sent while she was there, and updates. Would definitely use Callan again. We're from London and was attending a festival in Perranporth. We holiday in Cornwall a few times a year and now we have Callan, we can visit places where dogs aren't allowed which we've had to avoid previously.”

“This was our first time leaving our pup, Monty, with anyone outside of immediate family for an extended period of time, and the experience couldn’t have been better. For both us and Monty. Susan and Terry welcomed us into their home for a meet and greet prior to Monty’s one week stay and we immediately felt like Monty would be safe and happy with them. During the week Monty stayed with them, we received regular updates and photos of everything they were getting up to, which helped put us at ease while we were away missing our pup. 5/5, would highly recommend and use Susan and Terry again. Thank you!”

Marietta J.

“Tracey and Sarah have given Belle an amazing time, lovely walks and lots of play time, and has made a new friend with their dog River. Tracey kept me well informed with what Belle was up too, lots of regular photos. I recommend Tracey and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”

“Abi is an excellent dog sitter. Both of our dogs adore her! They were so excited when she arrived to look after them for the weekend, it was wonderful to see. I had no concerns leaving them in her care, and revived regular pictures and updates; they had a fabulous time and I'm sure Abi will become a regular in their lives whenever we are away.”

“Ashley was amazing from start to finish! I have never left my 10 year old Jug before with anyone other than family and Ashley was undoubtedly the best choice. She has a lovely home and was very welcoming, I recieved photos and could see in these photos my Reggie was happy and loved whilst we were away. I would highly recommend Ashley and I will use her again.”

Siobhan O.

“Very caring & considerate. I would have no hesitation in leaving Kenji with Olly again, highly recommended.”

“Alex was absolutely fantastic and accommodating. He gave regular video updates and was really good with Leo. He was evidently really good at looking after dogs and is a really friendly guy! Thank you Alex!”

Billy M.

“Wow I was so impressed with Mads!! From the get go it was clear she was the right person to take care of my baby while I was away!! Lots of pertinent questions when we first met and great communication while I was away! Upon my return it was so clear that lady had the best time staying with her, with lots of walks and having fun on the beach! Mads is so friendly and great, clearly a massive dog lover and if I ever need to head away again she'll be my first choice 100% Thank you again for everything!!”

“Sascha was brillant and Alfie had a great time. This was the first time Alfie had been away from us for so long, so we were a bit nervous however everything worked out great and Alfie was very happy. We very much appreciated the photos, all the exercises and attention he got. We definitely recommend Sascha and her family very much.”
