About: I grew up with the craziest Maltese, who I trained from a puppy until I left for university, so I’ve always had dogs around me. I’m often at home and regularly look after my friends’ dogs, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them, or taking out. I also enjoy running, swimming and other outdoor activities, and I’d love to have a dog join me whenever appropriate. I’ve always found that animals naturally seem to feel confortable around me, and most importantly, dog person for life! I’m a postgraduate student living in Falmouth with a part time job. I’m usually at home for most of the day unless im out doing an activity involving some sort of exercise I live in a spacious house with five friends, a courtyard, and plenty of room for dogs. We enjoy outdoor activities, relaxing days and companionship

About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals has instilled in me a deep love for animals. I take my responsibility as a caregiver seriously, holding myself to high standards in all aspects of animal care. I am particularly interested in understanding dog behavior, and I am skilled at recognizing signs of anxiety or discomfort. My commitment to providing a loving and attentive environment ensures that every animal I care for feels safe and valued. My part-time job as a teaching assistant in a primary school allows me a flexible schedule. My shifts typically last up to six hours, with some days being shorter. I start my day at 6 AM, giving me ample time to attend to my pets before heading to work. This routine ensures that I can provide consistent care, attention, and companionship to the animals, regardless of my work commitments. When caring for pets, whether at my home or the owner’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. My approach includes: • Routine Establishment: I maintain the pet’s usual feeding and exercise schedule to ensure consistency. • Environment Familiarity: If at the owner’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring the pet feels secure. • Attention to Behavior: I closely observe the pet for signs of anxiety or discomfort, adjusting my approach as needed to help them feel at ease. • Engagement and Play: I provide physical and mental stimulation through playtime and interaction, keeping pets happy and healthy. • Communication: I keep the pet owner informed about their pet’s behavior, health, and any concerns that may arise. This comprehensive care approach allows me to foster a trusting relationship with the pets, ensuring they feel loved and secure.

About: Hi, I'm Leo and I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I like to get out and about so I'm always walking my dog Bruce, he comes with me everywhere I go! I have experience caring for senior pets also and have a qualification in canine first aid. I understand that all dogs are different and need different breed specific stimulation to be happy and healthy and I will always try to weave some training in with all the playtime and walks! I'm currently available full-time with availability Mon-Fri and Saturday if required. I am able to be flexible to suit your requirements and meet the needs of your pet. I live in close proximity to woodland, open fields and enclosed paddocks. I also have access to an unfenced garden in my home. I have a 18 month old Sprocker Spaniel and an elderly cat at home to keep your best friend company.

“Richard looked after our dog Amber and was excellent from start to finish and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. He is clearly very knowledgable when it comes to dogs and he made Amber feel very settled and at home. We had pictures and videos to reassure us she had settled in, and throughout her stay. Exceptional service!”

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.

“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!!”

“George was an amazing dog sitter! He was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. George kept me updated and treated my dog like his own. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking him again.”

“My little Shi-Tzu Lady stayed with Marek and his dog Oscar while I was on holiday and she had such a wonderful time!! She has been treated like a princess. Marek sent me lots of photos and updates so I could see how she was doing. If needed I will definitely book Marek again as I know that Lady will be very well looked after. I can only strongly recommend Marek if you need to leave your dog while you're away, you can be sure that she/he will have an amazing time.”

“Clarrissa was the best dog sitter you could ask for! She made time to meet boe before we went away! She took her on 6km run! And she was amazing with boe’s behaviours, boe can be reactive to other dogs and Clarissa was amazing at adapting to this making sure boe kept safe at all times! She kept us updated all the time through photos and messages! YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER DOG SITTER 1000% WOULD RECOMMEND!!”

“Ella and her partner looked after my mini dachshund whilst I was visiting the area. They were fantastic with her, took her to the beach and sent lots of pictures. So happy I found them and would definitely recommend”

About: I am a student who has looked after dogs for all I can remember. From walking my dogs at home, to fostering medical alert puppies, and volunteering at a kennels, I love dogs. I also love a good long walk and I am missing my own dog at home at the moment and would love to get out and about with an extra friend. At home, I am involved in training my beautiful labrador who will soon be a medical alert dog for Medical Detection Dogs. I also have experience with more reactive dogs. As a student, I am free most of the time with occasional hours during the week I am busy. I am available as much as you need me. I have a fenced off garden and a few dog toys and a dog bed at home. I also have my own lead. My dog from home has stayed round before and loved it.

About: My name is Rose and I run this account with my Boyfriend Jago :) We are both Marine biology students, and miss our dogs at home! I've spent the last 9 years looking after and training my own black Schnoodle at home, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes for friends and family. We are both confident with feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well looked after. My boyfriend and I both work part time, meaning someone is always around to ensure your furry friend is never alone! We are both very active (meaning lots of W.A.L.Ks) and are always spending time outdoors, adventuring to new spots when we can. My garden is fenced, meaning lots of space for sniffing outdoors and having fun. Also living in a safe neighbourhood, evening walks are no problem!

“Tabitha was super sweet and very chilled. We dropped our frenchie, Beanz with her for a couple days whilst we were at a wedding and Beanz seemed to have a great time - she came back exhausted which is always a good sign 😂 thanks so much Tabitha - really appreciated your flexibility and all round relaxed approach made the whole thing very easy.”

“Rhiannon did a wonderful job looking after Milo for the weekend. She was very communicative and flexible with drop off times when I got caught up with work, and he had a great weekend! He returned happy and relaxed, having bonded with her cat, too. Thank you so much for looking after him!”

About: Hi there! I'm Sarah — a passionate animal lover and proud dog owner to a gorgeous Australian Shepherd and cat mum to two gorgeous kitties: a sleek black-and-white shorthaired and a fluffy Norwegian Forest cat with lots of personality. I’ve used this service myself in the past and found it to be a real lifesaver, especially for those last-minute needs — so I totally understand how valuable peace of mind is when it comes to pet care. I'm based in Penryn and happy to travel locally. I have a peaceful haven of a house, with a fenced garden. I live alone and work part time from home so I will always be about. I am experienced with many dog breeds, from poodles to collies and I walk my dog at least twice a day. She loves the company of other dogs. Please contact me for more information or if you would like to chat furher. Looking forward to meeting your beloved pets!
