“Jo has just looked after George for a few days. Brilliant experience. We met before our trip so she could meet George and establish what he needed. The communication was really good, George loved her and the house was super tidy when we got back. First class service and I can't recommend Jo highly enough.”

“This was our first sitting with Emily and hopefully the first of many! Our meet and greet was great and invaluable with our family making a huge fuss of Emily who obviously knows what she's doing! Emily's communication has been excellent, lots of questions and intuitively picking up on specific areas important to us. Emily has been flexible, having to change plans to work around us and kept us informed of progress with lovely pics and comments. House and family all good and happy on our return. Looking forward to future sittings.”

“Thea was perfect with our puppy and cat during our holiday. She kept us updated through the week and the pets certainly looked like they were enjoying themselves. She left the house nice and clean too. Would highly recommend Thea and would love to have her again for our next time away!”

“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!”

“We had previously hired Corben for a day time dog sit and did not hesitate to contact him again when we then needed an overnight stay with our dog. Corben was very flexible with the timings and very attentive to our needs to allow us to make the most of our night away. Corben was great with our dog and provided regular communication on how she was getting on. I can't recommend Corben enough. Knowing our dog was safe and happy allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our event without worry. We will definitely be booking Corben again for any of our dog sitting needs.”

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

“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. ”

“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!”

“*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”

“Wow, we were so lucky to have found Ilona, she was the perfect person to look after our border collie, Ben. We rescued him recently and so he is quite needy and yet Ilona took everything in her stride and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. She knew exactly what Ben needed, especially in the crazy heatwave, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone to look after your dog(s). She responded very quickly to my booking request and was clear about timings and was so reliable and very trustworthy. She also kept us updated with photos and took him for walkies in the woods as it was shaded.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and individual attention I give every pet. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, having been raised with Gordon Setters, and as an adult I’ve always owned Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training, toilet routines, and socialisation, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler approach, medication, and slower-paced walks. Having owned Dachshunds, I’m especially mindful of handling, back care, and appropriate exercise. I’m confident following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. I also keep owners regularly updated with messages and photos so they can feel completely at ease while their pets are in my care. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My aim is always to provide a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I am a single mum who works part time and from home, and dog walks and beach strolls are a part of my day so your pooch will have plenty of love and attention. I have a small fenced in garden for the dogs to play and Walter is happy to keep your dog company along with my 10 year old who is obsessed with all dogs.

“Kyal was amazing with our cocker, Finn. Finn has separation anxiety, but Kyal and he got on really well, for Kyal it’s all about making sure the dog is happy. He took photos of their walks and mapped the walks too. When we got home Finn was a happy boy and was completely comfortable with Kyal. I can’t thank him enough or recommend him highly enough.”

About: 15 Years of caring and training my own dogs, various breads including Vizla's, Beagles and Spaniels. Along side boarding for family and friends pets varying from Labs to Dachshund's. Also have 9-10 years of cat care experience along with 3 years horse care. I'm currently working from home full time 9-5, however have to take regular breaks for my own pets including lunchtime walks. Saturdays will unfortunately be unavailable throughout the summer as i am a keen cricketer. I have a fenced garden with two friendly dogs and one friendly cat. Dogs can be crated if this is required (however for a large dog, a crate will need to be supplied). Any specific instructions will be noted an followed where supplied.

“Our dachshund Ralph is quite timid, but he loves it when Jenny comes to look after him. This was our 3rd or 4th time having Jenny sitting Ralph in our home while we had a few days away, and as always she was very professional and punctual, and sent us plenty of photos of their adventures together. Would absolutely recommend to anybody!”

About: My mum had a full time pet grooming business growing up so from 13 years old I always wanted to step in and help wherever I could even if it was to give out treats, I love both cats and dogs and have been pet sitting both aswell as reptiles for 3 years, i can give oral medications if necessary and i’m confident with care for disabled animals who may need expressing etc. i have personal experience with deaf and blind animals. id love to help you out where possible for dogs and cats of any size, breed and temperament :) I sometimes work one day a week on a Sunday in the afternoon helping my mum with her dog grooming business if necessary so I have lots of time to give to other pets and I’m super flexible with notice! :) At the pet owner’s home I am more than happy to do walks as frequently as possible I’m a very active person so this is no problem! I’d love to make the sitting unique to each pet and owner and making notes to your specific routine is a must, my communication is very fast and you can contact at any time, I’m not afraid to contact you if I’m unsure on something.

“Carly was easy to get hold of and check the details of the booking beforehand. She arrived on time & instantly clicked with Bramble. She was professional and thoughtful (sending pictures of their walk and responding when contacted). We all felt confident Bramble was going to have a good evening with Carly and he did! He was happy to go out, then settle down with her for the evening. I would recommend Carly to anyone looking for help with their dog.”

“Cara has been amazing in caring for my 3 dogs, cat and fish. We originally contacted Cara for a house sit later in the year, but had a family emergency that meant we had to get a house sitter at short notice, and Cara came to our rescue. She kept in regular contact with us, both before and during the sit, and sent pictures. Knowing Cara was taking such good care of our animals meant we could focus on what we needed to during our time away. On our return our house was left spotlessly clean, and she even washed the bed sheets! Thank you Cara, you have been amazing”
