“Thank you so much Ella for looking after Florence so well, you really cared for her in her latter years and she looks great, I appreciate your photos and messages while I was away, having an older pet and having to leave them is hard, but you have made this process very comfortable for both of us. Thank you Gary”


About: We have fostered many many animals for the blue cross, owned cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, reptiles etc. We absolutely adore all animals so your fur baby will be in good hands! We have experience with small dogs , we have had chugs and jackuauas etc. ***PLEASE NOTE: my calendar is adjusted for adult cats as we can board adult cats all year round. ***Dogs and kittens are subject to availability as I work every other weekend so please enquire as to whether there is availability before booking 😁 thank you I currently work part time 3 days a week (every other weekend included) but on all weekdays and every other weekend there will be someone in our home to play with and give love to your furry friends! They will get lots of stimulation while they are with us. We have boarded cats for friends and family before on many occasions. We can take care of cats all year round and small dogs subject to availability due to work commitments. We have no cat flap so all cats are safely kept indoors. Our house has plenty of room to play, cat scratchers and toys etc. Our resident cat Ted is super friendly and enjoys the extra company. For dogs we have lots of fields and parks nearby to go for lovely long walks and I also drive so we can take them to some beautiful places further afield. We have a garden out back for toilet breaks which will be fully supervised to ensure safety of all dogs.

“Phoebe and Jack were fantastic. We very rarely leave our dog Mika with anyone, but Phoebes communication was great and we were so happy to pick up a happy dog from our night out. We would not hesitate in recommending them and would happily leave Mika with them again - lovely people!”


“Really appreciate Mark for looking after our three year old Frenchie Hugo at very short notice. It was our first time using Rover so we were a little worried, but Mark made us feel completely at ease and we could tell he knows how to look after dogs. He gave us lots of updates and photos, took him on a nice walk and Hugo seemed like he enjoyed his day too. Thank you :)”


“Absolutely fantastic service with Rhys and his doggie Bear. Django settled in soo well he was very well looked after had great adventure days and comforting cuddles in the evening.i was reassured with updates and photos whilst I was away and Rhys was great with communicating when django had a flare up and needed to increase his medication. I will 💯 use Rhys again when I need django to be looked after. Highly recommend rhys he goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is receiving the best love and care”


“Ernie had such a lovely stay - he didn’t want to leave. Thanks Jacqui and Ralph for looking after him. I’m sure he would love to visit again soon.”


“I recently had the pleasure of boarding my dog, Bertie, with Tracy, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I met Tracy, it was clear that she has a genuine love for dogs. Her friendly demeanour immediately put me at ease, and I knew Bertie was in good hands. Tracy provided exceptional care and kept me updated. It was evident that Bertie felt comfortable and at home. Tracy's home is clean, safe and has the most amazing garden. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog boarder. Bertie came home happy, healthy, and a little reluctant to leave his new friend. Thank you, Tracy, for taking such wonderful care of him.”


“Roxy had a fantastic stay with Hayley and was so well looked after. We are so grateful to have found someone as trustworthy as Hayley so we could enjoy our break away without worrying if she was being properly looked after, especially as Roxy is an insulin dependant diabetic with limited mobility. Forever grateful.”



About: I've spend all my life with animals and I can't imagine life without them. I own 9 year old chocolate lab, 11 and 2 year old cat. We are one big happy family. I'm working part-time from home, so I'm always in and living in a bungalow allows we to sit in the garden and work being surrounded by my own pets. My bungalow is secure with fence and garden is decided into 3 levels. Plenty space in quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, no busy roads and options for long beautiful walks nearby.

About: About Me – Your Pup’s New Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I’m Julie, and I’m passionate about giving dogs the same love, care, and attention they get at home—if not more! With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves personalised care. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the park, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to a specific routine, I go above and beyond to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also reliable, detail-oriented, and great at following special instructions—whether it’s administering medication, managing specific diets, or handling anxious pups with patience and kindness. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be loved like family. I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, I’m the sitter for you! I work full-time, but my schedule is flexible enough to give your dog the attention and care they deserve throughout the day which is perfect for pups who need companionship, feeding, playtime, and walks during those times. If your dog is comfortable being at the office during typical work hours, I make sure they’re well-exercised, settled, and content and I’m always available for dinner, cuddles, and walks. For dogs that need extra attention or have specific needs, I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works for everyone. You’ll also get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Loving, trustworthy, and committed—I’m here to help make your dog’s day (and yours) a little easier. At the weekends your fur babies will have my undivided attention. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a house with a fully enclosed, high-fenced back garden—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and fresh air without any risk of escape. The garden is secure, well-maintained, and ideal for both active dogs and those who just like to lounge in the sun. Inside, my home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for your pup to relax and feel at home. Whether your dog loves to curl up in a quiet corner or explore a new environment, they’ll feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. I have 2 whippets of my own who are fun loving and love to play. Your fur baby will be allowed on the sofa but can crated if required. If they sleep on the sofa during the night I have a camera that I can check in on them rather than disturb their sleep.

“Robyn and Nanook get along really well. She send me pictures of my happy pooch in the park, on the beach, in the moors. His holidays with Robyn are as good as mine.”


“My dog loves going to Susan’s house. Susan is really professional and helpful, and the dogs have plenty of fun and exercise. Can’t recommend Susan highly enough!”


“Christine was absolutely amazing with our dog. She kept in touch with me daily giving me updates on Bella. She has been brilliant throughout our dogs stay and would definitely recommend her to anyone. Would definitely use Christine again for any future stays”


“For first time doggy owners, and this being the first time we've had someone look after our puppy, Sophie was amazing! She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos so we knew Tenno was safe and happy, and it was so nice for Tenno to have Beau to play with. It looked like he had a lot of fun, and will definitely want to go back!”


“Absolutely fantastic! I reached out on very short notice, and Sara took amazing care of Charlie. He was well looked after, went on plenty of walks, swam in the sea and was washed! We received plenty of updates, which put our mind at ease as he looked so well settled. Sara was very considerate and took Charlie for a walk just before we picked him up. Highly recommend!”


“We’re so thankful for the great care that Zach and Molly gave to our furry boy. He clearly had a wonderful time, and we appreciated the regular updates, photos and video. We would be happy to recommend Zach and Molly and will certainly use their services again in the future. Thank you!”


“I had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Jeanette, and it was such a wonderful experience! Right from the start, Jeanette was incredibly warm and welcoming, making both me and my pup feel at ease. It was clear she genuinely loves animals, as she took such great care of my dog and made sure she had lots of fun. When I picked her up, my pup was happy and healthy, and it was obvious she had been well-loved. I can't recommend Jeanette enough for anyone looking for a friendly and caring dog sitter!”


About: I am kind, patient and loving to all breeds of dogs. I love to walk and run with them. I am confident with all breeds and have trained many many dogs to become obedient and a joy to own. I enjoy dogs of all ages and my weakness is growing to love them. I decided to take early retirement and move to Torquay. I have lots of time on my hands to walk and/or play with your furry family member. I can give as much or as little time as you need. If your pet needs a bath I am happy to do that too! My secret weapon is singing how much is that doggy in the window whilst bathing them and they stand in stunned silence and let me! My garden is quite large and totally fenced in, no escape on my watch! I own 2 very well behaved dogs of my own, one medium and one very small. They love to play and run with other dogs and so do I. I am happy for dogs to sit on the furniture so we can cuddle but I don’t allow dogs on the beds. I am happy to do drop ins at your house and let your fur baby outside for toilet breaks or take them for a walk.

“Callum helped us out last minute. He was friendly and responsive when first making enquiries and amenable throughout. He provided us updates and even sent a pic for us whilst we're away for the two days, of our Fox Terrier enjoying some belly rubs. She didn't want to leave when we collected her so we knew she was happy with her stay and that she was well looked after. Recommend Callum. Thumbs up!”



“Absolutely amazing. My dog was kept comforted and happy throughout his stay and I was sent updates regularly. Lee and his family were so accommodating, helpful, patient and friendly. Will definitely be booking in again- thank you for everything”

Barbara S.
“I've known Barbara for a couple of decades and whenever she comes to see me, she's always with her Saba and whenever I go to see her, Saba and her two cats (Bounty and Tiggy) always come and join us to socialise. There is always a warm and safe vibe with Barbara and her animals, and I'm very certain that she will be a great sitter because she always puts them first and has always been natural with animals. Any and all animals I've seen her come across have taken a quick liking to her.”

Pebbles absolutely adored her and came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind who treats your pet like their own. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will go above and beyond, look no further than Julie . She is a gem!”
