“Kev minded my house and dog, Apollo a Golden Retriever, for 10 days over the Christmas - New Year period. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She sent me regular updates with pictures and videos and even put bedding into the washing machine so it was clean on my return. The house was in perfect order and my dog was very happy and relaxed. He'd obviously been very pampered and was walked daily. Kev even left us a beautiful watercolour of Apollo which we will frame. She is very friendly and caring with an obvious affinity for animals. She was also very respectful of our property. A gem! Thank you Kev.”

About: I’ve had spaniels the best part of my life, currently sharing a house with a 2 year old sprocker called Mylo. Firefighters as my full time job so have a good amount of time to take dogs for walks when on my days off! I work a 2-2-4 pattern, so 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off, so have ample time to fit in dog walks around my shift pattern. Fully enclosed large garden for dogs to play in, am able to walk dogs alongside my spaniel Mylo. Happy to keep on lead if that is what the owner requests.

“Always reliable and quick to respond to messages, on this occasion I needed to cancel the booking short notice due to illness and unfortunately they had a wasted journey but communication was great and will definitely use again in the future”

“We had a wonderful experience with Rowena looking after our dogs. She was calm, friendly and clearly loves animals, and our dogs took to her straight away. She sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe and caring hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Rowena again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: Since childhood, I have grown up with cats and dogs. I currently have two fantastic dogs at home who would stay with my husband when I am on sitting duties. I also care for small pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters. I’m a teacher so am available from late Friday afternoons until Sunday evenings. I have weekend availability to be able to spend looking after your pets. I can sit at your home but cannot offer boarding at my house due to family. I love spending time with animals and can dedicate the whole time to playing, walking, relaxing and getting to know your pets.

About: I have a beautiful Labradoodle named Otto and have been caring for dogs since I was young. I work from home Wednesday through Friday, and with a spacious, secure garden, my home is the perfect environment for pets to feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home Wednesday to Friday and manage my own schedule, which allows me to be highly flexible and available to help whenever needed. I have a beautiful big garden that’s safe and secure which is perfect for lots of time in the garden. I also have a tiled porch, which is great for the hotter days.

“Hilary is a fantastic pet sitter, Max was very comfortable staying with her on our holiday. We highly recommend Hilary for Pet and house sittings.”

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.

“Really happy with Grace and Rhodri, was able to enjoy my wedding knowing our dogs were safe and happy. They sent regular updates and photos, the girls seemed super happy, and the house was left clean and tidy. Will definitely use again if needed, highly recommend”

“This was our first time having Julie look after our boy and she was fantastic from start to finish! We got regular updates with pics, it was clear our pup obviously had a fantastic day. We thoroughly recommend Julie and our dog will be thrilled to see her again soon! 🐶”

About: Hi there! My name is Rachel, I’m a 29 year old working professional based in Taunton and I live with my partner in a fully detached house with a large secure enclosed garden, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs all my life, and featured in my photo is our family dog Coco, a mini Pomeranian who I absolutely adore. I regularly dog sit for friends over weekends and love taking their dogs out for walks and adventures in the countryside. I enjoy being outdoors and discovering new walking spots, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention and companionship. I work from home on Mondays, meaning I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, feeding and company. Although we don’t currently have pets living with us, our home is very pet friendly and calm, making it a great environment for dogs to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m available on weekends and love spending time outdoors on long walks and adventures with dogs. Most of my friends have dogs and I love going for Saturday morning coffee and dog walks with them. I also work from home on Mondays, so I’m around all day for walks, feeding, toilet breaks and plenty of company. Your dog will get lots of attention, playtime and care throughout their stay! Your dog will be cared for in a calm, loving home with a large secure enclosed garden where they can safely play and explore. I currently don’t have pets, so your dog will have plenty of space and attention. I always make sure dogs are well looked after, exercised, comfortable and treated like part of the family!

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: Im reliable, im friendly, i love animals and people say im easy to trust and get along with. I would love to be able to earn a little extra money to put in my traveling savings and why not do it by doing something I love. I work a 9-6 however I'm always awake at 5am ready for the gym so I'm available in the am and after 6pm. If close I can come and visit on my lunch break. I have a family cockapoo called Lola she's amazing well behaved and loves are cuddles and walks. She's always been healthy and happy in my care

About: We didn’t just adopt a dog—we welcomed a quiet, gentle soul into our home. Our rescue greyhound called teddy arrived with cautious eyes as if the world was still something to be figured out. Now teddy has his favourite sunny spot, his funny sleeping positions, and his little bursts of playful energy that catch us by surprise. Ted has gone from unsure and afraid of the world to completely at ease, and in doing so, hes changed our home too. It’s warmer, calmer, fuller. Watching Teddy learn to trust has been the most rewarding part. The first tail wag when we came home, the first time he leaned into us for affection, the moment he chose to rest his head on our lap—each small step felt like a milestone. It’s a reminder of how resilience and kindness can transform a dogs life so much . We have had teddy for 5 years now and he is a completely different dog displaying such confidence and joy in everything he does I am currently studying from home therefore your pet will be my top priority and i will have plenty of time to take care and play with them . I will always make sure your pet is in a comfortable and safe situation. I have an anxious dog myself and i know how to keep them calm on walks and avoid other dogs . I am experienced when it comes to identifying the signs of a dog feeling threatened or scared by other dogs making me the perfect protector for your pet.

“So pleased we found Emma. Fantastic sitter, truly cared for our Lab and home. Great communication throughout, would thoroughly recommend and will book again.”

About: Hello 🤗 I recently moved to the UK from the US and, sadly, I haven't been able to bring my cat, Octavia, with me yet. I've had her for about seven years, so really miss having a cat around! I thought pet sitting would be a lovely way to get my "cat fix" as I genuinely enjoy meeting new cats and spending time playing with them (and providing plenty of cuddles). You can be sure your cat(s) would be in very caring and loving hands with me ☺️ I work as a water scientist, and when I'm not travelling for fieldwork, I work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit in cat care throughout the day, including regular feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I'm happy to provide consistent care that follows your cat's usual routine, and can adjust my schedule to accommodate any specific needs or timings. I will always follow your instructions closely to ensure continuity and comfort for your cat. I will provide regular feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, and lots of attention and reassurance. When in your home, I will keep the environment clean and secure, and will any specific routines or rules your cat is used to. If needed, I can also administer medication as directed and keep a log of feeding, toileting, and behaviour if requested.

About: I have either owned or looked after dogs for 35 years everything from new born puppy's to old grumpy dogs that need specal care and medication. If staying at your house up to two one hour walks a day and feeding and treats as directed by the owner. I also have experience with cats however id rather not do medication for them. Id rather medium to large dogs that like long walks or that can run next to me. Im flexible, id follow the discussed routine by the owners and the needs of your dog. Specal food requirement and custom walks. Id rather bigger dogs Id follow and discussed routine with your pet. I'd communicate with you while you are away about your pets wellbeing. I could also water plants or received parcels for you while your away.

About: I have been a dog foster for 7years, own a black lab rescue and previously owned a rescue black cat. I am comfortable around reactive dogs and cats, all ages and animal needs. I have the ability to work from home so I can be there all day, I am very active myself so I can do multiple walks a day. I am a big believer of leaving where you arrived as it was or better than how you find it, when staying at your house caring for your four legged friends I follow the rules you set and care for your house and pets as if it were my own.
