Pet Sitting Teignbridge

About: I’ve got about 8 years of experience taking care of both my own dogs and my family and friend’s dogs. I’ve handled everything from long and short walks to feeding, bathing, and plenty of playtime. I genuinely love to be around dogs and making sure they’re happy, comfortable and well cared for makes me happy!! I’m currently a university student studying with the Open University, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Alongside that, I work a part-time job where my hours are also very versatile, so I’m able to balance both really well and stay flexible making plenty of time for taking care of your pups! I always tailor my care to each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a pet owner’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and lots of attention and playtime. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, including walking routines, feeding preferences, or medication. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed, and I treat them like they’re my own.

“Tom responded promptly to an urgent request. He attended to meet Shelby and I the next day to go over what was needed and for us all to enjoy the benefits of an introduction as we hadn't met before. Throughout the multi-day booking I was given regular updates. On return Shelby appeared fit, well and her usual self so I would not hesitate to recommend Tom or use him again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, providing love, exercise, and companionship. Experienced with various breeds and personalities, I ensure pets feel safe and happy. Schedule: Working from home allows me to stop by for daytime check-ins as required. I’m available for evening walks and longer, more enjoyable walks on weekends. I have a fenced garden however will not be accepting boarding in my home due to my two cats needing their own space. Happy to attend an owners home to care as needed

About: i’ve volunteered to help a doggy daycare care where i helped walk, feed, wash dogs. in the past i have used my home to dog sit for people who needed their puppies trained and who didn’t want to leave their puppies on their own so they would come to me and i would train and keep the puppies entertained for the day i am currently in education, but my schedule is relaxed so i can do tuesdays 9-11am and 2-4pm, thursdays 9-11am and 2-4pm, fridays 2-4pm and anytime on sundays my dog is well loved and well cared for, unfortunately we don’t have a garden but we take him on long walks every 3 hours to make sure his needs are met. he has an array of toys to keep happy and i love playing catch and tug of war to keep him entertained. he eats 2 a day, morning and night, with treats throughout the day when warranted. he is bathed and groomed regularly so it does not affect his health and has his monthly anti worm and flea tablet.

“Beth is amazing. Very accommodating to changing schedules and keeps me informed with regular messages and updates. My collie/lurcher loves her and she makes sure he is well looked after when I am unable to. I highly recommend Beth.”

“Jen was excellent. She communicated clearly prior to our booking, and visited us promptly for the meet and greet. Her updates from the drop-ins were reassuring and accompanied by good photos of the cats. We will definitely be booking Jen again.”

“Very happy with how Harriet looked after our two elderly ragdolls. We came home to very happy cats who had clearly been well looked after. Particularly impressed that they had been given a good brush so were nice and fluffy. Totally recommend 🙂”

“Rosie is lovely and gave me daily updates on my cat whilst we were away. She came over beforehand to meet our cat and figure out where everything was. Really pleased and would recommend 😊”

About: As a person who loves animals with years of experience caring for dogs, I'm committed to providing a safe and loving environment for your pet. I've always enjoyed looking after friends and family's pets and consider it a priviledge to do so. I work normal office hours but my weekends are completely free and very lonely as my partner works. I am able to accommodate pets overnight if needed or just drop by for a walk. I have a fenced back garden and no other pets. Our furniture is very simple and there are no dangers of anything falling. We have a mixture of carpet and wooden flooring. We can take extra steps should you require to ensure your pet's safety. I live near Dartmoor and I am able to drive if needed.

About: Growing up my family has always had dogs and these have all been of varying breeds and sizes. When I moved out of my family home my partner and I decided to get a golden retriever, Harley, so any dogs coming to stay will need to be comfortable around him. Harley is very welcoming to any guests and is used to spending time with small, medium and large dogs so will be good company for your pet. I have a flexible job that enables me to work from home. It is a very sedentary job so I like to go on walks and be outside in my breaks and free time. We live in kingsteignton with an enclosed garden and a gate that opens up onto a park so ideal for the dogs. (Both the garden and park are in the pictures). This means we have several walks on our doorstep but we also like to drive to some. We love going on long walks with Harley and we like to keep the routes varied so we never really do the same walk two days in a row. We have no children and Harley is our only pet.

“Catriona was lovely to meet and our cat was well behaved and happy to play with her. Followed our instructions whilst away and kept to agreed visit times. Would recommend her if looking for a cat sitter.”

“Stevie was amazing our cat! Our cat Jem gets very upset when we go away, but we were regularly updated with pictures of her who came out to see Stevie and play! She was so well looked after and we could go away with peace of mind, thank you Stevie!”

About: About me: I've always had some sort of pet since I can remember (dogs, small animals, fish, reptiles). I grew up with Boxer's, so they hold a special place in my heart. But I love all dogs (like you should!) and have looked after a range of different breeds and sizes. We've had dogs from puppies into their older years, so I know how their needs change as they get older. I currently look after the family cocker spaniel most days, she's a good little companion but can't walk as far as she use to due to her arthritis. Extras: Studied: Animal biology (Welfare, behaviour, diets...) Worked in a kennels, looked after lots of different breeds, temperaments, ages, needs. Schedule: I currently have some free time and enjoy walking. I have plenty of time, and already look after a few dogs from time to time, so thought I could help out and look after a few more. Drop-In's: In the past I normally check on them make sure they're okay, let them out for toilet break, fresh water, snacks or meal and spend some time with them. When I leave, I follow there normal routine, make sure they're safe and relaxed again.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own, who I’ve trained well and raised with patience and consistency. Through this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behaviour and feel confident handling dogs of all types and personalities. I truly love all dogs and believe they should always be treated with kindness, respect and plenty of affection. I’ve also supported neighbours by checking in on their dogs and friends have trusted me to dog sit in their homes. During those times, I’ve made sure each dog is well fed, exercised, and given lots of affection and love - just as I would my own. I take pride in creating a safe, happy and comfortable environment so both dogs and the owners feel at ease. I work a 9 to 5 schedule, which means I’m available for dog care in the early mornings, evenings and weekends. I can provide morning walks or check-in before Work and I’m fully available in the evenings for feeding, walks, playtime and giving your dog lots of attention. Weekends are flexible, so I can offer longer stays, extended Care, or more dedicated time with your dog. I’m organised and committed to making sure each dog’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and settled whilst you’re away. I provide Care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important it is to maintain dogs usual routine, so I make sure to follow their feeding schedule, walking routine and any specific care instructions closely. When caring for pets, I give them plenty of attention, playtime and affection as well as ensuring their wellfed, exercised and settled. I treat every dog as if they’re my own with kindness, patience, and care. I’ve been trusted by friends to dog sit in their homes and my neighbours to check in on their pets, so I’m respectful of both your Home and your pets needs. Please note that I don’t offer boarding at my own Home, but I’m happy to care for your dog in their familiar environment where they are happiest.

About: I've grown up with a variety of pets my whole life and have always been an immense animal lover! Because of this, I am often relied on by friends and family to look after their fur-babies whilst they are away and also have lots of experience house-sitting. I'm at my happiest when I'm around dogs and animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I own my own home so I'm therefore very responsible and respectful of whoever's home I'm staying in. I will be sure to follow your instructions regarding pet care and certain things around the house. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday so I would be available to look after your pup(s) from late afternoon on Friday until Sunday evening (or early Monday morning). On some occasions if need be, it may be possible for me to work remotely from your home (if WiFi permits and dependant on your facilities but I would need plenty of notice for this). Over the weekend I will be on hand every couple of hours to give your fur-babies my undivided attention, walkies and play time! I would also be available to pop in for checks and short walks during weekday evenings as well. I have a handsome miniature dachshund who keeps me company while I work from home during the week. I have a fenced and secure garden and have a car seat cover that covers the entire back seat meaning we can go further afield for walks as where we live has lots to offer on our doorstep for a variety of walks and terrain. We tend to go on two walks a day and perhaps a longer, more adventurous one on the weekends.
