House Sitting Teignbridge

About: Hello lovely cat owners! My name is Harriet and I would love to spend time looking after your cat! I currently live in Kingsteignton and work from home- it can get lonely! I have my own darling tuxedo cat called Cornelius who I love with all my heart. He’s a rescue and the friendliest boy ever! I love having the company of a cat- no matter the cat's personality, their uniqueness always makes me smile! I work as an audio describer for theatre, part-time and freelance/for myself, so my days are flexible. I'm responsible, friendly and tidy, and love curling up with a good book and mug of tea!

About: I have worked for multiple zoos across the UK including Paignton Zoo, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, and for the best part of my career 10 years specialising in the care of elephants. I grew up with English Springer Spaniels as my family dogs regularly taking them on walks to the beach or Dartmoor and around twelve months ago rescued a cat all the way from Dubai. I have achieved full qualifications in animal care and animal management through my studies also completed several training courses. I have a very flexible job that enables me to work from home therefore I have plenty of free time to go on walks and focus on pet sitting. We live in Kingsteignton with a fully secure garden so outdoor access can always be provided and have plenty of nice walks on our doorstep perfect for dogs. We have no children and Janice the cat is our only pet however can easily be separated into her own area of the house. If you’re interested in my services or have any questions, feel free to message me for further details and I will be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your loyal companions! 🐾 I am a highly reliable genuine person who you can trust with your beloved pets whilst providing a professional friendly service. I’m always happy to meet you and your pets first before booking to make the process easier and will always provide updates weather that’s your dog out on a walk or your cat snoozing on the sofa! 🐶🐱

“Cannot recommend Rachael enough. She is an incredibly calm and responsive sitter. She was communicative prior/during the stay and put my mind at ease whilst sitting two hyper whippet puppies during a heatwave.”

“Adrienn was a lovely girl. She took her responsibilities really seriously. She kept me updated throughout the time she was with my babies. She sent photos and videos. She respected my home and left it spotless. I would definitely use her again.”

“From initial enquiry to me arriving home, Matteo demonstrated nothing but professionalism and a genuine love of dogs. Matteo arrived on time and established a great rapport with Ringo whilst asking pertinent questions about his care needs. Furthermore, Matteo sent me photos and updates regularly which was very much appreciated. When I arrived home, Ringo looked happy and relaxed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matteo to anyone.”

“Alexandra was a lovely house guest, and very calm and attentive to Gladys. Our plans changed last minuit and she was accommodating and reliable, with excellent communication. Gladys was extreamly comfortable with her and the place was left spotless. We will definitely be using her services again. Thanks”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and today my constant companion is Harper, my wonderful three-year-old cocker spaniel. We spend most days exploring the countryside around Dartmoor, where we live in a large converted chapel in a peaceful Devon village. Life here is a dog’s dream. We’re surrounded by woodland trails, open moorland, reservoirs and beaches, which means plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment and adventure. Whether your dog loves long walks, paddling in the water, playing fetch or simply relaxing in the garden, I’ll tailor their day to suit their personality and energy levels. I work from home, so your dog will have company, attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a secure, enclosed and shaded garden that’s perfect for playtime and keeping cool during warmer weather. Most importantly, I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a matter of trust. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, well exercised and showered with affection while you’re away. I work full time from home but most of my team is in the U.S, so half my day is my own time to work flexibly which works well during the warmer weather for cool morning walks. I’m available for boarding and house sitting during the week and weekends and I can be flexible for fairly last minute requests. I have a completely enclosed garden that is beautiful and safe. My dog, Harper, is the absolute friendliest cocker spaniel - she’s neutered, very friendly with other dogs and typically follows me around everywhere. I’m happy to take the lead from you on any routines or care your pet requires.

“Stevie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our little puppy so we were naturally a little nervous, but from the first meet, we knew we were in very safe hands. The communication was excellent (a lot more than we were expecting) with regular updates, photos & videos. Biscuit had the best time! He already wants us to go away again so he can hang out with his new best friend. She went above and beyond and we came home to a very waggy tail!”

“Olha recently looked after my dog (Toby) whilst house sitting for a weekend. Olha is very trustworthy and kept in communication the whole time. She provided reassurance that Toby was doing okay, and sent updates including some pictures of him. Olha was amazing with Toby and looked after him so well that he didn’t want her to leave! Highly recommended.”

“Eva is a lovely young lady . My pooch Buddy is very anxious and Eva dealt with him so professional and with a very kind heart . She took him to the Moors and sent me pics which I thought was so lovely. Buddy seemed so calm and contented with Eva which for me speaks volumes. I recommend Eva highly. She is lovely. Thank you hun . Buddy will definitely see you again 🩷”

About: I have been house-sitting full-time on Trusted House Sitters (with my partner Asha) since the beginning of this year with all 5-star reviews. Plus, I have looked after all sorts of dogs and cats through friends and family since a young teen! We are freelance musicians who work from home, apart from the occasional gig! We living by house sitting so we have found a way to make this our job! I am a patient and caring animal carer! I enjoy long walks with my dogs and couch cuddles with my cats. I am experienced in elaborate feeding routines and handling medication, and am confident in handling and walking. What your pet needs is the number one priority, so however they need to be cared for, that is how it will be done!

About: I am a graduate with a degree in Wildlife Conservation, and have recently relocated to South Devon from Kent. I adore animals and have completed many volunteer placements in animal rescue and rehabilitation. I have been working with the Environment Agency for the past year, and am now beginning a new role as an Assistant Ecologist. I would love to meet all your pets while I’m down here. I have had pet cats my entire life and have looked after many other dogs through Rover, BorrowmyDoggy and personal relationships. I currently work Monday-Friday until approximately 5pm, so would be more than happy to offer evenings and/or weekend walks. I am definitely flexible and happy to offer early morning walks if that is what your pet needs. Unfortunately, I cannot look after dogs in my own home as I have a cat and she will not like that! However, I will go to extra lengths to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable, safe and happy whilst I am in your home or out for a walk. I will send you photo updates throughout my care time to make you as the owner, also feel comfortable and happy that your pet is being well taken care of.

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a bit apprehensive - but as soon as we met Jo, we were completely put at ease! She did a fantastic job looking after our dog and cat, and kindly kept us updated on how their time together was going. Highly recommend!”

“Lana was able to help us at a particularly difficult and important time. She took time out to get to know Freddie before the booking and carried out the house sitting exactly as we wanted. Lana is personable, reliable and confident with animals. I hope she will be available next time we need a sitter and would have no hesitation in recommending Lana for any dog related duties.”
