House Sitting St. Austell

“Sophie responded to my request so quickly and came to my house to cat sit for the weekend at very short notice. I came home to a very happy cat. Marvin clearly liked Sophie the pictures and messages she sent were lovely and updated me throughout the weekend which was great, as I do worry about leaving Marvin he had a new night time routine and Sophie managed to get Marvin in at night which in itself I was worried about. I would absolutely love to recommend Sophie and will definitely myself be reaching out again.”

“Em is one of the best sitters we've ever had after years of using Rover. Peg was in the best hands and was calm and happy with Em during an overnight sit. We received lots of amazing peg content throughout the sit too which is always a bonus! Thank you once again Em, you're the best!”

“Apologies for the delay - I came back from Ireland with a nascent cold, and have succumbed! Jo, and her partner Troy, have been brilliant sitters. Agnes, our Alsatian was relaxed and happy and clearly got on really well with both Jo and Troy, though it seems she kept up her usual preference for the man! Our house and garden were kept beautifully tidy and plants were watered as requested. We are very grateful to Jo and Troy for taking such good care and enabling us to attend our son's wedding, and hope they enjoyed their time with Agnes and on the Roseland. Many thanks, Pete & Cathy”

“Georgia was excellent and made two trips to visit Bozie before we left for our holiday, so he got to know her. Georgia sent regular photos of Bozie and updates whilst we were away and his usual cattitude was evident, so we knew he was happy! We would recommend Georgia. ”

“Rosanna was amazing and stepped in at the last minute when a different sitter cancelled housesitting so we could still go for a celebratory meal out. She responded promptly and shared updates through the evening. Would recommend!”

About: I've looked after my family dog and my nans 2 dogs over many years during several holidays I've volunteered to stay and look after the dogs with all their exercise food and medical needs. Currently off work due to relocation and after many projects with books and exercise i have decided to use my experience to look after dogs and ensure owners have peace of mind I can easily follow and ensure all pets are well cared for and safe, following owners instructions carefully. The pet comes first, I am used to dog walking, feeding, giving medicine if required, sticking to the dogs routine and making sure they feel loved and safe with me.

“*Worth more than a 5* review* I can’t recommend Jasmin and Callum enough - such a lovely couple and brilliant with my dogs. My first time using a dog sitting service and I felt very comfortable leaving them in such capable hands. I really appreciated the updates and photos too. Thank you both”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Lola. Corben sent us regular photos and updates throughout our time away, which was really reassuring and meant we could relax knowing she was happy and well looked after. We came home to a lovely clean and tidy house and, most importantly, a very happy Lola! She actually seemed to miss Corben once he’d gone, which I think says everything about how well she was cared for. We would definitely recommend Corben and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Thank you for taking such great care of Lola and our home!”

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

“Fantastic!! My 2 dogs took to her straight away, she gave them lots of cuddles, attention and enrichment in the garden. She also left the house clean, tidy and secure. I will definitely rebook!”

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting full time for the last four years. I’ve played with puppies, calmed curious cats and even bathed a tortoise! I’m a non-smoker, tidy, respectful and will ensure everything’s running smoothly so you can have a worry-free trip. I’m a freelance writer so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to discuss your requirements and work around your schedule including evenings and weekends. I’ve been house and pet sitting full time for two years so have plenty of experience. So far, 30 home owners have trusted me to keep their home secure and pet happy.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for and learning about them. Over the years I’ve had many different animals of my own, and I currently have my little dog Kai, who is a very important part of my family. My love for animals has also been influenced by my dad’s work in wildlife conservation, so I’ve grown up with a real appreciation for animals and their individual needs. I’ve also had experience working in a veterinary practice, which I absolutely loved, and I’m now starting my training to become a Student Veterinary Nurse. I’m naturally very patient, gentle and attentive with animals, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I understand how much trust is involved in leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll always treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care. I’m currently taking some time to focus on gaining more experience with animals before starting my training as a Student Veterinary Nurse. My days are generally quite flexible, so I can fit around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine. I enjoy getting outdoors, going for walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy doing. I’m happy to discuss individual routines, feeding times, walks and any other requirements your pet may have, and I’ll always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my biggest priorities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision, so I’ll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, likes and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment, and I’m also able to welcome pets into my home where appropriate. My own little dog is friendly and used to being around other animals, and I would always make sure any introductions are done carefully and at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. I’m responsible, attentive and safety-conscious, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and most importantly, I’ll treat your pet as one of my own.

About: I have one dog and one cat currently, I have always been surrounded by animals and ensure they get the best walkies that are mentally stimulating and physically tiring. Big lover of cats and know how to handle the fluffiest to the grouchiest. Your pets are in safe hands. I work from home in Par and get a break midday and I’m finished by 4:15. I am able to walk dogs before and after work and if needed during my lunch break. I can walk dogs/check in any day of the week. Can do multiple walks a day. I understand animals and adapt to their temperament. I have a calm presence and respect your pets boundaries and individual needs. I will listen to your direction closely and ensure I follow direction to create the best possible outcomes for your pet.

“Ilona is a great cat sitter! She took excellent care of our two young cats and our home, was reliable, respectful, and kept us updated during our time away. Would happily recommend and book again. Thank you Ilona.”

“Kyal did a great job looking after our pair while we were away (one of whom gets a bit emotional at times, but he liked Kyal). We were sent lots of updates and they got plenty of exercise, so we came home to two very happy, chilled dogs. Thanks Kyal!”

“Cara was communicative and reliable. She clearly loves spending time with dogs and ensured Barney was well cared for and had lovely walks as well as lots of fuss. We would definitely recommend Cara.”
